Gu Chen was well aware that this situation could be considered a fraud. He couldn’t resort to such tactics to gain support.
However, from the beginning, it had been a mere misunderstanding on his second uncle’s part. Song Fan had never claimed to be pregnant. They had speculated about it and accepted it as the truth.
Gu Chen found the whole situation somewhat absurd, but it was, nonetheless, the reality.
He decided to feign ignorance. Even if he eventually clarified the mistake, the blame would fall on Gu Hai. When he apologized to Song Fan, the shareholders who had switched their allegiance to him would resent Gu Hai.
By contemplating this scenario, a rare smile graced Gu Chen’s lips. The mere thought of it satisfied him.
“Young Master, where should we meet the director?” Su Yang inquired.
Gu Chen considered it and replied, “Let’s meet at Phoenix Restaurant to demonstrate my sincerity.”
Su Yang promptly made a reservation at Phoenix Restaurant, where private rooms were in high demand.
That evening, a multitude of luxury cars lined the entrance of Phoenix Restaurant. Song Fan calmly parked her bicycle at the entrance. It was a bicycle she had assembled herself from discarded parts.
The security guard at the entrance noticed this and approached her swiftly. “You can only park at the entrance if you’re dining here. Move your bicycle.”
“I am here to dine,” Song Fan affirmed.
The security guard scrutinized Song Fan and sneered, “Do you honestly think you can afford to dine at our restaurant? This is the most upscale restaurant in A City. Can you even afford it?”
Passersby stopped and pointed at Song Fan, and some passersby even chimed in, “Young ladies these days are incredibly vain. They claim to be dining at the finest restaurant when they can’t even afford it.”
Song Fan didn’t want to be bothered by the security guards on the street and stated, “I was invited by Duan Feng. You can have someone go inside and confirm.”
“Seems like you’ve done your homework, even knowing our head chef’s name. You better leave before I lose my temper!” The security guard retorted as he attempted to push Song Fan away.
Song Fan extended her arm and effortlessly tossed him over her shoulder. The security guard slid several meters away and lay on the ground in pain. The elderly lady who had been criticizing Song Fan just moments ago fell silent instantly.
Song Fan turned to face her and advised, “It’s wise to speak less from now on to avoid such altercations.”
The writhing security guard on the ground cried out, “Ouch, someone attacked me!”
Song Fan pretended not to hear him and stood aside to make a phone call. “Brother Duan, please come to the entrance to pick me up.”
The security guard’s outcry drew the attention of other security personnel at the entrance. They approached and encircled Song Fan. One of them warned, “You need to compensate my colleague right now, or we’ll take you to the police station.”
Song Fan scoffed, “I’m a customer at Phoenix Restaurant. He insulted me and attempted to assault me, so he got what he deserved. Are you trying to intimidate me because there are more of you?”
The other guards paid little heed to her explanation. After seeing that Song Fan had no intention of paying, they moved forward to avenge their colleague.
Song Fan kicked the person at the front, sending him flying, which instantly deterred the others. They exchanged uneasy glances and didn’t dare to advance.
At that moment, Duan Feng approached and asked, “What’s going on here?”
The head security guard rushed over and reported, “Mr. Duan, this woman injured one of our security team members.”
The guard anticipated a strong reaction from Duan Feng. However, to his surprise, Duan Feng walked over to Song Fan and asked, “Xiao Fan, did they bully you?”
The security captain’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Song Fan to be acquainted with Duan Feng. His complaint moments ago now seemed almost comical.
Song Fan shook her head and continued, “Brother Duan, you should have better control over your staff. It’s one thing for me to park my bicycle here and not move, but they threatened to physically harm me. Could it be that only people who drive luxury cars can come to Phoenix Restaurant to spend money?”
Duan Feng’s anger flared at Song Fan’s words. He turned to the security guards and admonished, “I don’t recall Phoenix Restaurant being under your management. It’s the guests’ prerogative to choose how they arrive. Do you think you’re the proprietor by behaving this way?”
The security guards lowered their heads and replied, “We didn’t mean to overstep.”
“Since Xiao Fan has already taught you a lesson, consider it a release of frustration. Starting tomorrow, you won’t need to come to work,” Duan Feng declared.
The security guards begged for mercy. Despite being security guards, Phoenix Restaurant offered them excellent employment conditions, and they didn’t want to lose this job. Moreover, if they were dismissed from Phoenix Restaurant, it was unlikely other places would hire them.
Duan Feng remained firm and added, “If you wish to apologize, you should apologize not to me but to Miss Song.”
The security guards immediately bowed to Song Fan, and some even knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
