Chapter 26 Stepmother's identity

In the afternoon of the next day, Han Yuanshan came to Zhang Qiaoling's restaurant again, and this time he made a special trip to apologize to Zhang Qiaoling. Zhang Qiaoling let Han Yuanshan into her office, took the flowers handed over by Han Yuanshan, and inserted them in the vase on the desk. Han Yuanshan said curtly, "Miss Zhang, I am very sorry for what happened last night, I hope you don't mind, and I sincerely apologize to you again." "You are too polite, Mr. Han!" Zhang Qiaoling said, "In our line of work, it is common for guests to get their clothes dirty, you don't have to worry about it, besides, you still give me 5,000 yuan! I earned it, didn't I?" "Ha, ha, ha, Miss Zhang is really joking, I can't imagine that Miss Zhang can take on such a heavy responsibility at such a young age, and she also runs this restaurant with ease, which shows that Miss Zhang's work ability is extraordinary, which is really admirable!" Where, everyone is cheering, Mr. Han is also an old customer of our restaurant, don't scold me about this little thing. Han Yuanshan then said, "In order to show my sincerity, I hope that Miss Zhang can enjoy the light and have a light meal with me. "Okay then! If I don't agree, it will seem that I don't know how to lift, then, Mr. Han, please wait a while for me to change my clothes and leave!" Zhang Qiaoling accepted it when she saw it, Shi Shiran said.

Years of experience in the restaurant industry and her intuition as a woman tell Zhang Qiaoling that this man is interesting to her. But she didn't think about refusing, she wanted to see how this person was different from other men, not to mention that the man in front of her was super rich! Once the two of them really had a chance to develop further, for Zhang Qiaoling, this was an opportunity for pie in the sky, and once she was caught, she could ascend to the sky in one step. Han Yuanshan also discovered after the incident that night that this Zhang Qiaoling was very unusual! Managing such a large singing and dancing restaurant by herself shows how strong her ability is. What's more, this Zhang Qiaoling is also very beautiful, and even Han Yuanshan, who has read countless people, is a little tempted. Since Qi Peiyun left, this was the first time he had been attracted to another woman, and he thought that this was an opportunity given to him by God to have a woman who would help him in his career and family again.

'Paris Time' is one of the most famous restaurants in the area, and being able to dine here is a symbol of status and status. This restaurant is also one of the few foreign-related restaurants in the local area, and it usually does not accept domestic customers, unless you are a senior member of this restaurant, of course, this membership is not easy to get, and it takes 100,000 US dollars to get an ordinary membership card. In addition to having a certain economic strength, you also need to have a fairly high social status, which does not mean that you can have money, those rich people, nouveau riche and the like are not to be discussed. Han Yuanshan is different, he is not only rich, but also a director of the local business association, and he is qualified to attend government meetings. The reason why he set a seat here today was to invite Zhang Qiaoling to dinner. A large part of the reason is that he seems to be sincere in apology, and on the other hand, he wants to get closer to Zhang Qiaoling through this dinner, and even develop in a better direction.

Han Yuanshan's car stopped at the door of 'Paris Time', and a greeter stepped forward to open the door for them. The two stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant side by side. At the reception of the restaurant, a foreman-like waitress obviously knew Han Yuanshan, and said with a smile, "Welcome to Mr. Han, the private room you booked has been prepared for you, please come with me!" Han Yuanshan made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Qiaoling, Zhang Qiaoling smiled, walked in front, and Han Yuanshan followed closely to the private room.

The private room is very elegant, with a strong European style decoration, and it looks high-end and atmospheric. In the center of the room is a long table covered with a white tablecloth, in the center of which is a vase of flowers, behind which are two symmetrical candlesticks, followed by dining utensils and several delicate wine glasses and decanters. The maîtress walked into the room, lit the candle on the table, and walked out of the private room. Han Yuanshan and the two sat down at both ends of the table, and a waiter walked in outside the door, holding a tray in his hand, on which was a bottle of red wine and a coffee pot, walked to the table and put down the red wine, poured coffee into the cups in front of the two, stood aside and asked, "Can Mr. Han serve the food?" Han Yuanshan looked at Zhang Qiaoling, and Zhang Qiaoling nodded. "It's time to serve," Han Yuanshan said. The waiter stepped aside, used his walkie-talkie to communicate with the kitchen, and then stepped forward, opened the red wine on the table, poured the red wine into the decanter, and stood aside to wait.

The first course is crispy chicken cutlets. The crispy chicken steak is made of the best chicken breast, cut into thick slices, the chicken is loosened with the back of a knife and marinated with condiments, the marinated chicken breast is wrapped in egg wash and dipped in breadcrumbs, fried in fifty percent hot olive oil, cut into small pieces and stacked on the plate, and the boiled soup can be poured on it. This dish is characterized by crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich base, slightly spicy, sweet and sour, and is very suitable for an appetizer with red wine. The second course is matsutake lobster balls. Australian lobster take the meat and steam it in the upper drawer, mash it and add egg whites, starch, spices, and save it into a ball-shaped ball the size of a table tennis ball, bake it in a baking pan for three minutes, put it on a plate for later use, stir-fry the fragrant matsutake mushrooms, knead it into powder and sprinkle it on the lobster balls. This dish is the specialty of this restaurant, and customers who come here will usually order one. It is characterized by the preservation of the mellow umami flavor of lobster, and the unique aroma of matsutake mushrooms, which complement each other perfectly. The third course is the main course, the black pepper steak. Choose the best beef from Hokkaido, Japan, slice and marinate, and grill over medium heat until medium cooking. Next up is a fruit and vegetable salad, also to neutralize the oiliness. The last dish is crème brûlée, a dessert dish that ladies love.

Looking at the exquisite food placed on the table one by one, although Zhang Qiaoling was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Han Yuanshan's generosity. Unexpectedly, a small apology would make such a big move. She was a little flattered and said, "Thank you very much Mr. Han for your careful arrangement, let you break the bank!" Han Yuanshan enjoyed Zhang Qiaoling's current expression very much, which was an expression that used money and status to crush a person. What he wants is this effect, he wants Zhang Qiaoling to know that he, Han Yuanshan, is not an ordinary person, and not everyone can have such treatment. Then he said, "Where! This is all as it should be, it is rare for Miss Zhang to appreciate it, just a light meal, don't worry about it, come, for us to get acquainted, cheers!"

After the meal, Han Yuanshan personally sent Zhang Qiaoling back to his residence, and made an appointment to come and hang out with her the next day. Zhang Qiaoling did not refuse, and the two sides left separately after leaving their contact numbers. After that, Han Yuanshan would call Zhang Qiaoling every few days to ask Zhang Qiaoling out, either to go out to eat or to play at a golf course in the suburbs, or to ask a few people to drive a private yacht to the sea and have a picnic on a nearby island. Under Han Yuanshan's powerful offensive, Zhang Qiaoling's defense line was broken through not long after, and after a dinner, in Zhang Qiaoling's private apartment, Han Yuanshan was half-pushed and half-pushed.

After having this relationship, the two quickly established a formal relationship as a couple, going out in pairs on various occasions. After the two dated for more than half a year, Han Yuanshan officially proposed to Zhang Qiaoling at a well-arranged party. Zhang Qiaoling didn't make any excuses, she agreed directly, and the time of the wedding was also set at that time, just five days after Qin Ning and Qi Shaoling met.

In fact, before Han Yuanshan proposed to her, Zhang Qiaoling also hesitated, after all, Han Yuanshan is a divorced man, and she has a son who is not much younger than her, for a while she was a little worried about the rumors of the outside world, saying that she was greedy for the money and status of the Han family, and she did not hesitate to be a mother when she entered the door, and she was also a stepmother. Such rumors once made her want to back down, but her godmother's words completely dispelled her concerns. Godmother said to her: Don't care what people outside say, the key is to see if Han Yuanshan really wants to be with you, if he is determined to spend the rest of his life with you, then you don't have any hesitation, bravely accept all this, and strive for the happiness you deserve.

As soon as Zhang Qiaoling's wedding car stopped, the sound of music and firecrackers sounded outside, and it gradually quieted down after a while. Zhang Qiaoling got out of the car in a white wedding dress, held Han Yuanshan's arm, and walked together in the arched corridor of flowers. This is followed by a solemn wedding ceremony with the exchange of marriage certificates and rings with the blessings of relatives and friends of both parties. After the ceremony, the congratulatory guests, relatives and friends dispersed and dined under the awning on the side. In order to have a new idea for this wedding, Han Yuanshan deliberately imitated the wedding scene of Westerners and adopted the method of buffet. A row of awnings was set up on one side of the courtyard, and a long table was set up, on which all the drinks, pastries, fruits, meat and vegetarian foods were placed, and the guests ate according to their personal preferences. The whole wedding scene was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere, which was busy with the photographers and videographers, following the two couples around the courtyard.

Han Tianxiang has never appeared in everyone's sight since Zhang Qiaoling's wedding car entered the hospital, he returned to his room alone, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling quietly, his mind was almost blank. For Zhang Qiaoling, his stepmother, he is not ready to accept it, he only has Qi Peiyun in his heart, only the woman who was kicked out of the Han family is his mother, and no one can replace him. "Zhang Qiaoling, hum! Very good, if you want to be my stepmother, it's not that easy, let's see!" Thinking of this, the corners of Han Tianxiang's mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
