Chapter 135 - 134 Inquiry
Shopkeeper He had been the manager of the Great Crane House for many years and was experienced in dealing with influential people. At this moment, he didn’t rush, simply bowing slightly, waiting for the Eldest Son’s next command.
After a long while, the Eldest Son finally said, "Shopkeeper He, my younger siblings quite fancy these new pastries of yours. Well, you’ve already booked a cream cake, haven’t you? If there’s any left tomorrow, send a whole one to the Liang Residence in Qingyuan County."
"That works, that works," Shopkeeper He quickly replied, "For your family to fancy our restaurant’s pastries, that is giving our restaurant high regard. As long as we can make two cream cakes tomorrow, I will definitely send someone to deliver it to the Liang Residence first."
"Then, I thank Shopkeeper He here," the Eldest Son said, with much more politeness in his voice.
Shopkeeper He kept saying he didn’t dare to accept the thanks and, seeing the Eldest Son had no further business, he quickly bowed and excused himself.
After Shopkeeper He left the room, the Eldest Son and Liang Siming turned back behind the screen in the private room, where beside a round table with a purple-red lacquer finish sat two delicate ladies, one of whom was unmistakably from the Liang family, Liang Wanqiu.
Behind the two ladies, there were two maids and two nannies each in their service.
Seeing her younger brother and the Eldest Son come in, Liang Wanqiu frowned unhappily and said, "I thought this cake had something novel about it, but it turns out it’s just a snack made by some no-account little shop."
