Hua Xiaomai had realized this early on, so she wasn't at all surprised by the reaction of her brother-in-law, Qiao Xiong. With a pleasant smile, she said, "Our restaurant always puts our guests first. Why don't you tell me your requirements first?"
Unexpectedly, the brother-in-law began to complain bitterly.
