Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

But what child would chat idly here?!

However, Yu Zhe could understand that others had important business to attend to and certainly didn't want to wait. In business negotiations, the first to arrive can take the initiative, and first impressions are also very important.

The staff member also thought that since Yu Zhe didn't have an invitation, she would have to wait until later. So she could only give Yu Zhe an apologetic smile: "Miss, I'm sorry, there are still people in line. Why don't you get your invitation first and then come over?"

Actually, what this staff member was thinking was that if she weren't working, she would definitely want to take a photo with the silver-haired girl in front of her. Even though she was wearing casual clothes, it couldn't hide the girl's outstanding temperament.

Yu Zhe sighed, consciously left the group, walked to the side, and took out his phone.

I dialed my father's number, and when the call connected, he said nonchalantly, "I'm downstairs at the restaurant, but I don't have an invitation, so they won't let me in. I'm a bit sleepy, so I'll go back first."

But a frantic shout came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, hey, stay downstairs and don't move! I'll arrange it right away!"

Fine.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhe sat on a small step by the vegetation in the distance. Less than a minute later, he heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Looking up, I saw that everyone who had been queuing was now frozen in place.

Because Lin Mu'an, the old butler of the Su family, had already arrived at the door with six young men dressed in butler's uniforms.

It seemed that after a fast run, Lin Mu'an was not out of breath, while the young men were panting heavily.

After looking around, they all turned their gaze to Yu Zhe, who was sitting on the steps.

Led by Lin Mu'an, they all bowed their heads in that direction and performed a standard 30-degree bow.

Good evening, young master!

54. How much face do you have?

Yu Zhe didn't like this.

Making a mountain out of a molehill, and sure enough, the commotion attracted the attention of those queuing to enter and even nearby pedestrians.

Brushing the dust off his shoulders, Yu Zhe stood up and walked past the old butler, Lin Mu'an: "Let's go, Uncle Lin, the noise you're making is going to scare people."

Yu Zhe walked in first. As he passed the young lady who had checked the invitation, he clasped his hands together and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Sorry for the trouble. Don't worry, I didn't explain clearly earlier. I'll keep it a secret for you~"

This time, the young lady didn't dare to stop him; she could only stare blankly as Yu Zhe walked into the restaurant lobby.

Lin Mu'an flicked his tuxedo, stroked his neatly trimmed beard, and turned to the young stewards behind him, instructing, "Go, follow the young master, and don't let me see this happen again!"

"Yes!"

These people quickly followed Lin Mu'an and hurried back into the restaurant.

The young lady who stayed outside to continue checking the invitations really didn't know what to say.

Young Master?

The old butler knew that he was the one who came to the hotel to make the private reservation, and he was also the head steward of the Su family.

In terms of status, his position as the chief steward of the Su family is equivalent to that of the head of another family.

Could the young master Lin Mu'an is referring to be... Su Yuzhe, who is clearly a boy but is more beautiful than a girl?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The young woman was even a little afraid to stay there any longer, since she had just turned away the eldest young master of the Su family...

But then she remembered what Yu Zhe had said when he came in: he would keep it a secret.

This young master in casual clothes might actually be an angel, just like he looks?

Meanwhile, the other people queuing outside spread the word quickly, and they all learned about an important piece of information.

Young Master Su Yuzhe of the Su family was present at the scene.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we must make a good impression on the young master.

Because now everyone knows that the people who are truly gaining power in the Su family are no longer Su Zhenfeng, but the two geniuses from the main branch of the Su family, Su Yuche and Su Yuzhe.

...............................

After entering, a group of deacons followed behind.

Even Yu Zhe was getting annoyed: "Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Can you please stop following me?"

One of them was the first to explain: "No, young master, we must..."

"Your safety must be ensured; this is a task assigned to us by Boss Lin, and we cannot afford to be negligent."

Boss Lin? Does that refer to Uncle Lin?

It wouldn't be good to just kick everyone out, so Yu Zhe patted his head in exasperation: "How about this, I'll wait here for a while, and you guys call Uncle Lin over for me. I have something to say to him."

After discussing it for a while, the group decided that two people would stay to protect the young master, while the rest would go and see where Lin Mu'an had gone.

I took out my phone and checked the time. It was almost 10 p.m. I really wanted to finish this quickly and go home.

Looking at the so-called "high society" people walking around with red wine in their hands, Yu Zhe felt a surge of irritation.

Fortunately, Lin Mu'an returned quickly.

He nodded to Yu Zhe first, and then dismissed the remaining two deacons responsible for protecting Yu Zhe.

Now, only Yu Zhe and Lin Mu'an remain at this corner.

Seeing that no one was around, the old butler took out a beautifully packaged small bag from his pocket and handed it to Yu Zhe: "Young Master, these are the snacks that you and Miss Yu Che loved to eat since you were little. I was just looking for these, so I'm a little late."

dessert?

My initial gloomy mood was instantly swept away by Uncle Lin's words.

I took the bag, opened it, and saw that it was indeed the kind of pastry I loved to eat as a child, with lots of white sugar inside.

Later, Zixiao and Yuche both said that it was too sugary and told them not to eat it, but Yuzhe still kept thinking about it.

A rare smile appeared on Yu Zhe's face as he carefully put away the snacks: "Thank you, Uncle Lin, you still remember that I love this."

“It’s not just me who remembers… To be honest, it was the head of the family who reminded me to bring this snack for the young master.”

You mean your father?

Yu Zhe was a little incredulous. Given his father's indifferent attitude towards him, how could he possibly know what he liked?

"Yes, young master, let's not say any more. You and I both understand. Since the patriarch took the opportunity of coming to Xicheng to call you out, he must want to take the initiative to mediate the relationship between the two of you. Let's talk things out today. I'll take you there."

"Ok, I know."

Following behind Lin Mu'an, the two took the elevator to the thirteenth floor of the hotel.

You need to swipe a card to go up to this floor; it's a floor set up to accommodate VIPs.

When the elevator doors opened, this floor was indeed different. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered a view of the city's nightscape, and the starry-sky-colored rooftop and floor felt much quieter than the gaudy floors below.

Most importantly, there is no music here, which is what makes it truly quiet.

Yu Zhe continued walking forward behind Lin Mu'an.

It wasn't until we reached the very back of the floor, at a table, that we saw two people.

The first one was naturally Su Zhenfeng, who was sitting down and exuded elegance in every move.

The other was a beautiful middle-aged woman with short hair standing there. Yu Zhe knew she was over forty, but in reality, she looked only twenty-eight or thirty years old.

Yes, Yu Zhe has known her since he was a child. She is a legend in Fenghai City, known as "Deceptive Blade," and is his father's bodyguard.

Of course, when his mother was alive, he was also her bodyguard.

Lin Yin, who is also Uncle Lin's daughter,

Her fighting prowess is undeniable; to be honest, Yu Zhe learned many of her moves from her.

Lin Mu'an escorted Yu Zhe to his destination, then bowed slightly to Yu Zhe and Su Zhenfeng: "Young Master, Patriarch, please continue your conversation. I have other matters to attend to. Lin Yin, you must ensure the safety of the Young Master and Patriarch; nothing should happen to them."

Lin Yin lowered her head very low: "Dad, I know, no fly can get in."

The palpable killing intent reassured Lin Mu'an, and he immediately turned and left.

This space was reserved for them.

But before Su Zhenfeng could speak, Lin Yin suddenly withdrew all her murderous intent.

Her eyes sparkled as she leaned close to Yu Zhe and exclaimed happily, "Ah, Dad's finally gone! He scared me to death! Little Yu Zhe! You've grown so much! You're getting more and more beautiful! Wow, really, you're just as pretty as your mother was back then!"

"Haha... Thank you, Sister Lin."

"Ahem." Su Zhenfeng coughed lightly twice. "Lin Yin, come back first. I have something to say to Yu Zhe. It's so late. If we finish talking sooner, he can go back to sleep sooner."

"Oh right, you two talk. I'll definitely have a good chat with Xiao Yuzhe another day. It's been so long since we last met."

Seeing Lin Yin retreat, Su Zhenfeng faced Yu Zhe, feeling somewhat awkward, but still managed to start a conversation.

"Did you come here by yourself? Where's Zixiao? Didn't she come with you this time?"

"A natural conversationalist." Yu Zhe couldn't help but laugh. "It's so cold outside, and I had to grit my teeth and come here. Do you think I'd let Zi Xiao come with me? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm...I'm so sorry, it was definitely my oversight..."

Su Zhenfeng had thought a lot, but he was caught off guard by Yu Zhe right from the start.

This son, just like his mother Yang Qiuyun back then, is a genius among geniuses.

Su Zhenfeng not only had no way to deal with him, but to be honest... he was even a little afraid of him.

but!

As a father, there are some things I have to say; I can't back down!

(PS: Regarding Yu Zhe's mother, Yang Qiuyun, hehe, I can't resist giving you a little spoiler in advance, okay? We've been saying she's dead, but she's actually still alive. It's a big scheme, and we'll mention it for the first time in the next chapter. But Su Yu Zhe doesn't know she's still alive, so when he finds out, Mom, you're in danger!)

55. Of course, you have to take the late-night snack with you!

The scene was quite awkward at one point.

Although Su Zhenfeng had called him over, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Yu Zhe, on the other hand, sat down and started playing games on his phone, seemingly unconcerned about the current situation.

Even Lin Yin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but yawn. The head of the family is usually very decisive, but every time he faces Xiao Yuzhe... he is so timid and hesitant.

After a long silence, Su Zhenfeng tried to break the silence: "These dishes on the table were all made by the chef here. They're perfect for a late-night snack. Have a little bit."

"No need, I'm not hungry."

Yu Zhe glanced at the table again, then fixed his gaze on the glass of beverage in front of him.

That's interesting. My father drinks red wine from a stemmed glass, but I'm using a stemmed glass for orange juice.
