After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 369 - 278: Bringing Humiliation Upon Oneself

After dropping two depth charges in a row, Shi Wangyue proactively picked up his juice and said to Zhao Sui and Zhou Tang, "Last year, the day before Youyou’s birthday, we invited colleagues to dinner. Thank you both for your hospitality."

Zhao Sui glanced at Zhou Tang, raised his wine glass, and replied with a smile, "Mr. Shi, you’re too kind. Since the Ning family sister calls us brothers, if we didn’t waive the bill for dining at our hotpot restaurant, I wouldn’t have had the nerve to visit your home today."

"It’s nothing," Zhou Tang suppressed his inner unease with a forced smile, "That day, I was dining with friends in the next room and happened to bump into you. Sorry I couldn’t come over to celebrate, I could only express my sentiments."

"Mr. Zhou, you’re too polite," said Shi Wangyue, "The program and gifts the staff prepared that day were so thoughtful, we were all pleasantly surprised."

"Oh?" Ming Jinxin curiously laughed, "What program did Tangtang prepare for our Youyou?"

Zhou Tang awkwardly laughed, "Sorry, Aunt Ming, the program and gifts were prepared by the restaurant staff. I’m not sure how they went about celebrating our valued guest’s birthday."

Zhao Sui suddenly felt a pain in his leg, kicked back hard under the table, and said to Ming Jinxin with a smile, "At our hotpot restaurant, whenever a guest dines with us on their birthday, there are special perks. Aunt Ming, you’re welcome to celebrate your next birthday with us."

Ming Jinxin laughed and said, "Sure."

Ning Youyu also chimed in, "I want to celebrate my birthday at the hotpot restaurant too."

Ming Chao said blandly, "It’s all spicy hotpot, do you really want to go?"

Upon hearing that it’s all spicy dishes, Ning Youyu quickly covered his mouth, "No, no, for my birthday this year, I’d rather go eat pizza."

With Ning Youyu’s playful banter, the atmosphere at the Ning family’s dining table quickly relaxed.

Shi Wangyue picked up a piece of cheese-baked scallop and placed it in his bowl, "Xiao Yuer, do you want to eat pizza? If you’re free, you can tell your sister, and we’ll take you out to eat on the weekend."

"Yay!" Ning Youyu produced a big joyful smile towards him, "Brother Wangyue and sister are the best."

Zhou Tang’s collapsing rationality continued to crumble.

The whole meal felt like chewing wax to him.

He didn’t know why he initially chose to stay.

If he had known it would be this embarrassing, he would’ve turned and left, or chosen a different day to visit.

He secretly mocked himself in his heart, "It seems I’ve been praised for too long, inevitably getting complacent, forgetting there’s always a higher mountain."

No matter how much Zhao Sui warned him before, "Don’t easily go up against this Mr. Shi."

He always thought the other was exaggerating, just not wanting anyone to lose face, and was somewhat dismissive, keeping a secret competitive mindset.

Yet, after today’s meal.

He finally understood what it meant to "ask for humiliation."

He could see that the other party intended to draw closer to the Ning family and was on guard against him.

Just that day, he revealed a bit, and the other could follow the faint clues, lying in wait from afar until now.

With a few words, a thunderous blow, leaving him with no way to fight back...

After the meal, as Zhou Tang and Zhao Sui were preparing to leave, they saw Shi Wangyue wearing an apron, continuing to host Ming Jinxin and urging them to stay a bit longer, while bringing fruits from the kitchen and placing them in front of them, showing a posture of the host.

He truly is like a lion guarding its territory, vying for dominance every second. 1314
