Ming Lingyi had never met Hu Tuchao, so she didn't recognize him at first glance.
Manager Qian, on the other hand, who was already walking toward the door, recognized the newcomer at once and offered a cupped-fist salute. "Boss Hu."
Ming Lingyi glanced at the tightly bound Hu Jin, then at Hu Tuchao dressed in green robes. It all clicked.
'So the real mastermind has shown up.'
"I had no idea my restaurant would welcome two separate parties before it even opened," Ming Lingyi said with a smile.
Her words might have sounded like a jest, but no one present could miss the dissatisfaction in her tone.
Ming Lingyi had no intention of giving Hu Tuchao any face.
She had no prior relationship with the man. Now that he was actively trying to sabotage her, why would she be in any mood to be pleasant?
The smile on Hu Tuchao's face froze. He hadn't expected Ming Lingyi to be so blunt.
