Chapter 161 of "City's Best Divine Doctor" opens with dynamic events: Compared to the food in Heavenâs Imperial Medical World, Ye Qiu thought the mortal worldâs... Read on for more!
Compared to the food in Heavenâs Imperial Medical World, Ye Qiu thought the mortal worldâs food was much richer.
The ingredients in Heaven were all infused with Immortal Qi or some Spiritual Energy, but Ye Qiu found they werenât as varied as the mortalâs food.
Ye Qiu rode his electric bike to the entrance of the high-end Western restaurant.
He noticed that the parking lot was filled with cars, the cheapest of which cost at least a hundred thousand yuan each.
The security guard at the entrance was surprised to see him ride up on such a modest electric bike.
What shocked the security guard even more was that this ordinary-looking young man on his little electric bike had a young, beautiful woman with him.
âLingshow, this is the place.â
The last time Ye Qiu passed by this restaurant on his way to the one he had rented, he wanted to bring his sister Ye Xue here.
Unexpectedly, he ended up bringing Liu Lingxiu first.
The security guard was startled when Ye Qiu parked his electric bike in a car spot and was about to ask him to care for his bike.
But the guard walked over and said, âThis is a car spot; you canât just park here.â
Ye Qiu noticed it was indeed a car spot, but he was also a customer.
No cars were parked there, so why couldnât he park his bike?
âMy girlfriend and I are here to eat.
Why canât I park here?â
Ye Qiu asked coldly.
The security guard found it odd that these two young people, who looked like students, could afford to dine here.
The guard responded, âIâm in charge here.
You do as I say.â
When Ye Qiu ignored him, the guard prepared to move Ye Qiuâs bike aside.
Ye Qiu stopped him, saying, âIf you touch my bike again, youâll regret it.â
The security guard, taken aback by Ye Qiuâs angry expression, stepped back and didnât dare touch the bike again.
But he thought that if the kid tried to dine and dash, heâd definitely give him a good beating.
Ignoring the small-time security guard, Ye Qiu grabbed Liu Lingxiuâs hand and headed toward the restaurantâs entrance.
At the entrance stood two women in restaurant uniforms who greeted incoming guests with, âWelcome,â âPlease come in,â and âHow many in your party?â
The hostesses, with their sweet smiles, appeared very enthusiastic when facing other customers.
But when they saw Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, they were taken aback.
Especially when they saw Ye Qiuâs very ordinary attire, they wondered if these two had entered the wrong place.
They didnât offer the usual courtesies and didnât greet Ye Qiu; they just exchanged glances.
As Ye Qiu prepared to enter, one of the hostesses pointed to a sign at the entrance.
Ye Qiu looked over and saw that the sign stated customers must dress neatly and cleanly to dine inside, preferably men in suits and dress shoes, and women in dresses and high heels.
Ye Qiu was still wearing his washed-out clothes, which had some grease stains, and his knock-off Adidas shoes.
The hostesses, seeing his attire, felt he was neither clean nor neat and didnât meet the restaurantâs dress code.
They thought he looked like a laborer who should be eating fast food.
Liu Lingxiu saw the sign and felt a bit embarrassed, tugging at Ye Qiuâs hand to suggest they leave and find another place to eat.
Ye Qiu thought it was unnecessary.
âWhatâs wrong with my clothes?
And Iâm here to eat.
What I wear is my business.â
Ye Qiu felt that although his clothes werenât particularly stylish, they were clean and neat.
The hostesses wanted to say something more, but seeing other customers arriving, they promptly greeted them and ignored Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu.
The other customers coming and going looked at Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu curiously.
Ye Qiu remained unfazed, but Liu Lingxiu felt a bit awkward.
Ye Qiu pulled Liu Lingxiu inside and found that the interior environment was indeed different: elegant lighting and piano music created an upscale atmosphere.
Most of the diners were couples.
Hence, Ye Qiu saw many young men and women sitting at tables, chatting quietly while eating Western cuisine.
Other customers were quickly seated by hostesses, but no one attended to Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu when they entered.
Ye Qiu led Liu Lingxiu to a couplesâ table and sat down.
Even after sitting for several minutes, no waitress came to attend to them.
In contrast, the newly arrived customers were quickly greeted by waitresses.
âYe Qiu, maybe we should leave.â
Liu Lingxiu could already tell that the waitresses werenât pleased with their arrival.
âWhy should we leave?â
If the waitresses didnât welcome him, Ye Qiu was determined not to go.
He was no longer just an ordinary Ye Qiu but the former Ye Qiu from Heavenâs Imperial Medical World.
Ye Qiu picked up the vase with a rose on the table.
In the quiet and elegant restaurant, before Liu Lingxiu realized what had happened, the vase had already shattered on the floor next to them.
âCrash!â
The clear sound of the vase breaking drew the attention of many surrounding customers, who looked at them with curious eyes.
Ye Qiuâs expression remained unchanged as two waitresses rushed over.
The vase wasnât very valuable, but the waitresses worried it might affect other customersâ dining experiences.
âSir, why did you break the vase?â
One of the waitresses asked.
âI have no time to talk to you.
Get your manager over here!â
Ye Qiu said coldly.
The waitress sneered, seemingly unbothered by Ye Qiu.
Moments ago, they had no intention of kicking him out, but now that he had deliberately broken the vase, they had every reason to do so.
âSir, you intentionally damaged our property.
You must pay ten times the price for compensation.
However, I doubt you can afford that, so Iâll call the police to handle this.â
The waitress prepared to call the police, intending to scare Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu into leaving quickly.
Ye Qiu didnât even flinch and remained seated.
Liu Lingxiu was a bit scared, particularly of the police.
She also thought that Ye Qiu was wrong to break the vase out of the blue.
