Chapter 54: Golden Leaf Hotel
Even David’s aunt Diana’s and uncle Leslie’s families were shocked by what they saw, let alone Jude’s family.
A Benz was already considered an extremely luxurious car in a place like Shu City.
They might not recognize Porsches or Ferraris, but they would definitely recognize a Benz or a BMW as these two brands were luxury cars ingrained in their mind.
They did not expect David to drive such a car over.
David’s ability to buy a house in River City felt less unbelievable now.
“Get in, Aunt Diana!” David opened the door to the passenger seat for her.
“Dave! Is this your car?” Diana asked.
She still could not believe that David could afford such a luxury car.
“Yup!” David replied.
“How did you afford it?”
“Don’t worry about that, Aunt Diana. Just get in first! I’ll explain more when we get there. Aunt Sally and her family already agreed to move to River City, so I arranged for your house to be in the same area. Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything illegal!” David promised.
Diana did not ask more and got into the passenger seat of the Benz G-Class.
If David promised to explain later, then she would wait for him.
Still, she was indeed worried that David’s money had come from illicit affairs.
Igniting the engine, he got ready to drive off,
The couple stood awkwardly in place,
They once had the right to sit in that car, David had already grown up. There was no point in persuading him. There was not even a three-star hotel in Shu City.
“Dave! What are we doing here?” Diana asked.
Everyone else looked at David as well.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Diana Let me arrange everything,” David assured.
Once again, Diana did not protest.
She was relieved to see that David had grown up and become successful.
David and the others had just entered the grand hall of Golden Leaf Hotel when the new hotel manager quickly came downstairs to welcome them.
She had just sent a group of VIPs to their rooms upstairs when she received notification of David’s arrival.
Thus, she quickly rushed downstairs.
“Mr ... Mr.Lidell! Welcome to Golden Leaf hotel! We’ve already prepared the dinner you preordered, please come with me!” The pretty manager told David.
She was about to give him the welcome of a chairman, but immediately changed her greeting to that of a mere patron when she met David’s eyes.
David and the other followed the manager to a private room prepared especially for him.
The manager opened the door for them, and the others followed David inside. Diana’s and Jude’s family were stunned by the view inside the private room. The huge table before them was filled with exquisite delicacies, while the steam from the freshly cooked dishes filled the room. The huge lobster and king crab were the most eye-catching dishes.
There were also all kinds of dishes that they did not recognize. Everything looked delicious and much classier than what they would see on television. Those two families were already starving to begin with, and they could not help but salivate at the food. David pulled out a chair for Aunt Diana first before he ushered everyone else to sit.
Everyone still felt overly aware of their behavior after sitting. They only grabbed their cutleries after David helped Diana to a few dishes and started eating himself. Instead of eating, the youths; Jude, his cousin sister, and Judy, took their phones out to post a picture of the dishes on social media first.
They would not miss an opportunity like this to show off. Soon later, their pictures received the exclamations of their friends. There were all sorts of comments, mainly of envy or jealousy. No one was able to reject such good food, except perhaps people with eating disorders. The reactions of their friends thus satisfied their vain desires.
Judy’s post consisted of a few pictures and the caption, “Enthusiastic hospitality from my cousin!”.
...
At Leslie’s house.
Leslie and his wife were sitting in the living room watching television.
Cedric had plans to play basketball with his friends today since it was the weekend, so he did not go to his Aunt Diana’s house with his parents.
At this moment, Cedric came across Judy’s Instagram post on his phone.
He was immediately stunned by the good food in the picture. He had not even seen such great food before. The lobster and the king crab looked absolutely scrumptious, and he quickly ran to the living room.
“Mom, Dad, you two went to Aunt Diana’s house today, right? I thought you were discussing Judy and her boyfriend’s wedding. Why didn’t you bring me along to eat good food?”
He thought the pictures were taken during lunch.
Then, he passed his phone to Leslie and Lisa.
Leslie and his wife were no longer calm when they saw the pictures. They had only seen such food on television before. They could only imagine how much this table of food must have cost.
Coupled with Judy’s caption, they understood that this must be the dinner David treated those two families too.
It seemed like David had truly become successful. David even promised Diana’s family a house in River City, but this was not a benefit they could also enjoy.
As David’s uncle, Leslie had the chance to build a good relationship with David like Diana did years ago. If so, his family would be able to enjoy David’s wealth as well.
However, after losing the fight for David’s guardianship and the two million dollar compensation, Leslie never cared about David again.
No longer interested, Leslie tossed the phone aside and said, “This wasn’t lunch. The lunch we had with your aunt Diana was simple home-cooked food.”
“So this is dinner? Aren’t you guys close with Aunt Diana’s family? Why didn’t they invite us to eat with them? I’ve never seen such good food in my whole life! I don’t care, I want to eat this too!” Cedric said slightly angrily.
Leslie was already irritated over the missed opportunity of cultivating a good relationship with David.
Cedric throwing a temper now had only added to his ire, and he shouted at his son, “All you know is eat! Go to your room and finish your homework! All you’re going to eat is sh*t if you don’t get into university!”
Cedric was stunned as he did not expect Leslie to suddenly shout at him. Tears welled in his eyes as he ran into the bedroom and slammed the door behind him with a bang.
