Chapter 298 - 298 291 Cut Ear
?Chapter 298: Chapter 291: Cut Ear Chapter 298: Chapter 291: Cut Ear Although Ancient Zither House is a pet-friendly restaurant, they do have rules. Only those who reserve a private dining room upstairs are permitted to bring pets. Otherwise, with so many tables and customers downstairs, even if some people don’t mind, many more might take issue with it, raising hygienic concerns. Even though many areas are divided by screens, the screens’ effectiveness is limited.
Therefore, Zheng Xuan, with Mr. Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi in tow, headed directly upstairs to the reserved room. Getting a seat at Ancient Zither House was difficult enough, let alone a private room, which, of course, was several times more expensive than dining in the main hall downstairs.
“Because I know people, I can always enjoy a discount when I come here,” Zheng Xuan paused with a somewhat proud tone, “even more than what members receive.”
The neighboring room was arguing about something, and the voices were loud. They couldn’t hear clearly, but this also showed that the soundproofing was quite effective; with the window drawn, door shut, and air conditioning on, unless people started shouting at the top of their lungs, the next room wouldn’t hear a thing.
A menu resembling bamboo slips was delivered. Zheng Xuan introduced the restaurant’s signature and specialty dishes to Mr. Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi. As for Zheng Tan, he sat on a small chair by the window, observing the hustle and bustle of the crowd below.
The argument in the next room intensified, and a ceramic bowl from Ancient Zither House was thrown out, falling to the ground floor and shattering into pieces.
Zheng Tan remembered this place; his father often came here, never alone. Sometimes he brought who-knows-which mistress, other times he was with acquaintances from the marketplace. Of course, the former happened more often, and his integrity was like that ceramic bowl thrown from the next room, shattered to bits. Zheng Tan had also been here twice before: once to eat and another time to slap his father’s mistress.
Internally criticizing his father’s “glorious deeds,” Zheng Tan reflected on the time he came to expose an affair. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched as he remembered why the name ‘Ancient Zither House’ felt so odd to him. It wasn’t the frequent dinners his father had with his mistresses that made a strong impression on him. After all, his father showed romance in many places, taking different lovers to various places for merriment. The reason for his deep impression of this place was something he witnessed when he came here to argue with his father.
