Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 55 Dad, what should I call this woman?

After sending off the last batch of packages, Jin Yaya Socks Factory can finally enjoy its long Spring Festival holiday.

This holiday is quite long; people won't gradually return to work until at least the 20th day of the first lunar month.

Jin Yuanyuan and Uncle Qin, who was the last one to stay, inspected every corner of the factory, company, and warehouse. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, they finally got all the locks and seals on and confirmed with the people in the Economic and Technological Development Zone. Only then could they truly begin their holiday.

Zhu Hongying had already arrived in Rome, Italy with her friends to meet up with Jin Yuanyuan's aunt and uncle, planning to have a Western-style brunch. Hearing their cheerful conversation, Jin Yuanyuan was also quite happy; after all, everything being alright was the best thing.

After changing into new clothes, they took out two bottles of good wine and put them in Cao Xiaoyu's car. The two then picked up Jin Feiyan and went to Wanghu Pavilion together.

Jin Yuanyuan didn't dare sit in the passenger seat, saying she needed to carry two bottles of wine and it would be better to sit in the back. Cao Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but Jin Feiyan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, even asking, "Or, I can drive, I haven't touched a steering wheel since I got my driver's license two years ago..."

"No need, no need, Xiaoyu is fine. He's not tired or sleepy, and he's in great spirits!" Jin Yuanyuan, sitting in the back, fastened her seatbelt. "Let's hurry up and go. Who knows, Zhao Zhuoran might even ask us to help out as waiters."

As it turned out, it hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Zhuoran was already sweating profusely at Wanghu Pavilion, and his white shirt was even slightly damp.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you've arrived just in time! It's only just begun, quickly help me change." It seemed they were all quite familiar with each other; Zhao Zhuoran didn't stand on ceremony at all, immediately going to the workroom to grab three sets of work clothes for Jin Yuanyuan. "We were originally booking New Year's Eve dinners, but from morning until noon, it's been non-stop. Two of the waiters have even collapsed from exhaustion..."

"Isn't this a reservation-only system? How come it's so expensive and fully booked?" Cao Xiaoyu asked while changing clothes. "It's still a bit chilly, how come the outside shops are open too?"

"A friend of mine also owns a restaurant, similar to ours. But this morning their pipes burst due to freezing, so they had no water and couldn't cook. Therefore, they rescheduled all their customers' reservations to my restaurant."

"You can do that?" Jin Feiyan, who had also changed her clothes, came over. "I'm working as a waitress for free today. If there's a tip, I'll keep it myself."

"Sister, you can have mine too." Zhao Zhuoran was quite generous at this moment, but he pulled Jin Feiyan aside and asked in a low voice, "There's a small problem. Sister Yuanyuan's father will be here in a little while."

"Why?" Jin Feiyan was taken aback.

"He had booked my friend's restaurant for New Year's Eve dinner, but now it's all been moved here. I heard about Yuanyuan and her father's situation, well..."

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Jin Feiyan was a little confused.

"Well, Uncle Jin is bringing his... his whole family..." Zhao Zhuoran glanced at Jin Yuanyuan, who had already changed her clothes and was efficiently directing the disorganized waiters. "I checked the reservation list, and I think they should be here."

"Oh dear, how could this happen? We should tell Yuanyuan about this first, so she can be mentally prepared." Jin Feiyan also started scratching her head.

"How should I say it?"

"Of course, tell the truth, but don't hide anything. You'll be terrified if Yuanyuan gets angry later."

"I was scared to death once," Zhao Zhuoran even patted his chest. "Last time, just the last time, she got angry with me. I got angry too, but I really regretted it..."

"Alright, let's get this over with as soon as possible. It'll be awkward when the others arrive." Jin Feiyan glanced at the guest list and time, a little annoyed. "They're almost here! Go tell them!"

Zhao Zhuoran was quite uneasy. He took the guest list and pulled Jin Yuanyuan aside to whisper the matter to her. Unexpectedly, Jin Yuanyuan glanced at the number of people and actually laughed, "Wow, she's pretty quick. She already has a child, but she's only about twenty-five."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhuoran didn't understand. "Where? Isn't it just Uncle Jin's name and eight people?"

"Didn't it say in the notes that a baby chair was needed?" Jin Yuanyuan pointed to the notes section, "One-year-old toddler. Heh, that's fast, are they dividing up the inheritance?"

In fact, the moment those words were spoken, she understood Zhu Hongying's feelings. It turned out that over the years, her mother had successfully brainwashed her as well.

"Sister Yuanyuan, don't be angry, don't be angry. If you feel uncomfortable, just don't go to that area. I..."

"Why bother? I still need to collect tips tonight, I can make a lot of money." Jin Yuanyuan's smile was obviously forced, and you could feel her hair standing on end.

"I'll stay with you, please don't be angry, okay?" Zhao Zhuoran said cautiously.

After Jin Yuanyuan and her two companions joined the restaurant, the order immediately improved. The three of them were all smiles and introduced the dishes. Many foreigners were also dining in the restaurant, and Jin Yuanyuan and Jin Feiyan's English immediately came in handy. Surprisingly, Jin Yuanyuan even knew a few words of Korean and Spanish, which was truly impressive.

By 8 p.m., the peak dining time had arrived, and Wanghu Pavilion was already packed with guests, bustling with noise, a far cry from its previous elegant and quiet atmosphere. After all, this was the annual Chinese New Year, and the point was to have a lively celebration.

Zhao Zhuoran turned on the big TV, which was showing the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. The diners chatted happily with each other, glancing at the big TV every now and then, laughing and clinking glasses... It was quite lively.

Actually, Jin Yuanyuan saw Jin Yuanbao and his group as soon as they arrived at the gate. She squinted and counted them carefully. Besides Jin Yuanbao, there were two old men and an old woman, all quite old. Then there was a middle-aged woman, a young woman holding a child, and a young foreigner following behind.

Zhao Zhuoran reserved the best seats in the hall for them; they were relatively spacious and close to the television. He stood at the door to greet the guests, and when he saw Jin Yuanbao, he greeted him warmly before personally leading them to their seats.

However, at that moment, Jin Yuanyuan suddenly walked over, looked at Jin Yuanbao, and shouted loudly, "Dad!" Then she looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Dad, what should I call this woman?"
