The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Once he heard that Robert Xiao had booked Tianxiang Mansion, James Ye was a bit surprised.

What a coincidence! Didn’t Lord Hong say Tianxiang Mansion was his?

And didn’t he also prepare a banquet for me there?

At this moment, Daniel Wang exclaimed, "Robert, you actually managed to book the Golden Suite at Tianxiang Mansion? That’s not something just anyone can book!"

Robert Xiao smiled smugly, "To be honest, except for the top-tier Diamond Suite, I can pretty much book any other suite at Tianxiang Mansion."

Despite his words, Robert was just boasting.

In reality, to book this Golden Suite, Old Madame Xiao had to personally intervene, paying a hefty price and pulling several strings to succeed.

Linda Dong, who had heard of Tianxiang Mansion’s reputation even in Yanjing, quickly said, "We’re all friends here, there’s no need to be so extravagant."

Robert Xiao flattered, "You’re a distinguished guest, it’s different from ordinary friends."

Then he turned to James Ye and asked, "Brother-in-law, where did you book your banquet?"

James replied calmly, "What a coincidence, I also booked Tianxiang Mansion."

"Hahaha!" Robert Xiao laughed loudly, "James, aren’t you afraid of spraining your back from all that bragging? With your status, you couldn’t even book the Bronze Suite at Tianxiang Mansion, yet you dare to boast here."

James smiled faintly and said, "Whether I’m bragging or not, what does it have to do with you? I’m not inviting you to dinner, so why are you so concerned?"@@novelbin@@

Robert Xiao sneered, "Hmph, looking at you, I bet you can’t even get through the door of Tianxiang Mansion!"

Linda Dong, seeing James being targeted, felt a bit sympathetic.

She knew James was a live-in son-in-law with no money or status in the Xiao Family. It was unrealistic for him to host a welcome dinner at such a top-tier hotel.

She figured James was just trying to save face, so he said it on purpose.

Not wanting James to be too embarrassed, she spoke up to smooth things over, "Oh, there’s no need to argue. Since we all booked the same place, let’s just go together."

Robert Xiao mocked James, "Alright, for Linda’s sake, I’ll let you tag along for a meal today, so you can see what a high-end hotel looks like!"

James chuckled and didn’t respond.

Lord Hong would kneel before him, so what was his hotel in his eyes?

But Robert Xiao, this loser, was just too blind to see the truth!

Tianxiang Mansion was a classically styled Chinese hotel, its decor and style filled with traditional elegance and extreme luxury. Even the sign at the entrance was made of top-grade huanghuali wood.

James Ye looked at the interior decorations of Tianxiang Mansion and couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

He didn’t expect Lord Hong’s restaurant to be quite decent. He thought he might bring his wife here to try it sometime.

Linda Dong looked around and praised, "I’ve heard of Tianxiang Mansion’s reputation even in Yanjing, and it truly lives up to its name."

Robert Xiao laughed, "Of course, for you, Linda, we have to use the best restaurant."

Then he glanced at James and mocked, "Unlike some people, who wouldn’t have the chance to come to such a high-end restaurant if not for your presence."

Barbara Xiao deliberately asked, "James, didn’t you also book a suite at Tianxiang Mansion? Which one is it? Show us around."

James replied calmly, "I don’t remember exactly which one. I just sent a text to the owner asking him to arrange it. Let me check my message history."

Robert Xiao sneered, "Do you even know who the owner is? You’re bragging here, but the owner is the famous Lord Hong. You dare to talk big, be careful he doesn’t hear you and kill you with a finger."

At this moment, James checked his phone and looked at the message Lord Hong sent him last night. He said calmly, "He said he reserved the Diamond Suite for me."

Hearing this, Robert Xiao immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha… Diamond Suite? James, you’re killing me. Do you know who can get into the Diamond Suite? In all of Jinling, fewer than ten people qualify! What do you count for?"

Linda Dong had been silent, but she couldn’t help thinking, James loves to save face too much. Given his status, how could he possibly get the Diamond Suite? She used to think he was just poor and powerless, but now she realized he was also vain.

What a disappointment!

James smiled without saying anything. In his eyes, these people mocking him were all short-sighted fools, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue with them.

Daniel Wang also mocked, "James, even my dad doesn’t qualify to dine in the Diamond Suite, and you dare to brag!"

Barbara Xiao chimed in, "Brother Fei, people like him don’t even qualify to eat leftovers from the Diamond Suite!"

James looked at Daniel Wang and couldn’t help but laugh.

This idiot, didn’t he know his brother was knocked out by Lord Hong yesterday? And he still dared to come to his restaurant?

So he deliberately asked, "Brother Daniel, I heard your brother had some trouble yesterday?"

Daniel Wang frowned, "How did you know?"

Then he continued, "My brother was attacked yesterday and is still unconscious. We’re investigating who hurt him, and we’ll skin them alive! Do you have any clues?"

James shook his head and pretended to be clueless, "I don’t know, I just heard he was in trouble, but I don’t know the details."

"Hmph!" Daniel Wang sneered, "You loser, don’t gossip about my Wang Family’s affairs. If there’s a next time, I won’t be polite to you!"

James smiled and ignored him.

What a family of fools!

They didn’t even know it was Lord Hong who knocked out his brother? How amusing.

At this moment, a man in black approached the group.

James recognized him as one of Lord Hong’s bodyguards.

The man saw James and immediately recognized him, his face full of eagerness and flattery, almost bowing to greet him.

James quickly shook his head at him.

The man in black stopped and thought that Mr. Ye probably didn’t like being too high-profile, so he said, "Honored guests, please follow me. The suite has been prepared for a long time."

Robert Xiao was stunned. Since when did the Golden Suite at Tianxiang Mansion have such attentive service? He hadn’t even given his name, yet someone came to greet him personally.

What an honor!

Daniel Wang exclaimed, "Robert, you really have some clout. I think this guy is one of Lord Hong’s men. It seems Lord Hong values you a lot. Do you know him? You’ve never mentioned it. You’re really low-key!"

Robert Xiao laughed heartily, full of pride, "There’s no need to brag about such things. It’s better to stay low-key! Hahaha!"
