“Who is going to open a restaurant in Oakhaven and make a name for the rustic food of Springvale?” Suddenly, an old man’s voice came from outside.
Then, Gilmore and the rest saw an old man walk in.
He was approximately sixty years old, with thinning, gray hair and a plump, well–fed face.
He was dressed in a black suit, leather shoes, with his hands behind his back.
Gilmore recognized the old man as a villager named Lance Reed.
He was a famous one in the village.
The reason was that his son, Kennard Reed, made money by opening restaurants, KTVs, and Internet cafes in the county.
Even in Springvale, there were more than a dozen inns and homestays owned by his son.
He was one of the richest people in Springvale.
Since his son was rich, he was also proud.
Therefore, all the villagers were very polite to Lance.
Every day, Lance would brag to the villagers about how amazing his son was and how many hotels and bars he owned.
Of course, he frequented Gilmore’s family’s restaurant to boast,
Gilmore didn’t like Lance, who bragged all day long and was extremely vain.
Of course, he also despised his son, Kennard, who had made a great fortune.
Before Kennard gained fame and fortune, he had served the devil and was a ruffian.
Even if he whitewashed himself and became a rich guy, he still raised a group of strong men to deal with dirty deals under the table for him.
Thus, the villagers of Springvale were in awe of Kennard.
When Sophia saw Lance coming in, she quickly greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Lance, here you are. Take a seat!”
Lance didn’t give in, he sat down directly, looked at the dishes on the table, and said, “The potherb of the mountains looks very fresh. How does it taste?”
Sophia said, “Hold on. I’ll fix you a plate, so that you can have a try
After speaking, Sophia went to the kitchen to fix a plate for Lance. “Mr. Lance, try it.”
Lance took a bite.
Upon finishing his meal, he displayed little reaction and casually remarked. “The taste is just alright! But nothing compares to what the chef cooks at my son’s restaurant in the county.”

What Lance said made Sophia feel bad.
Even the guests from Oakhaven next to them looked at Lance with strange eyes.
In their opinion, Lance was just talking nonsense.

Sophia reluctantly smiled and said, “You’re right. The rustic food in my small restaurant can’t be compared to the dishes prepared by the chefs of Kennard’s restaurant in the county.
“Sophia, Kennard has always liked your daughter. This year your daughter will graduate from high school and will soon be 20 years old. As long as she is willing to marry Kennard, Kerinard can immediately arrange for you to be a chef in the restaurant there.”
Lance looked at Sophia and Harlan, and began to brag, “Kennard has restaurants, bars, KTVs, Internet cafes, and a few apartments in the county. He also owns more than a dozen homestays and inns in our village.”
“If your daughter marries Kennard, she can enjoy happiness for the rest of her life, and after your son graduates, Kennard can also arrange for him to be a manager in a hotel, and your whole family can receive preferential treatment.”
Gilmore understood that Lance came today to ask his sister to marry Kennard after graduating from high school.
His sister, Everly, was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. Not only was there no girl in the village who could match her, but she was also the campus belle at the high school in the county.
It was because of this that the wealthy Kennard in the village fell for Gilmore’s sister very early.
His father Lance often came to the restaurant of Gilmore’s family to beat about the bush and wanted to connect with Gilmore’s family by marriage.
However, Gilmore’s parents didn’t want their daughter to marry Kennard simply because he was rich.
Although Kennard was rich, his reputation was bad.
And Everly’s academic performance was very good. Gilmore’s parents wanted her to go to university like Gilmore.
They didn’t want her to get married soon after graduating from high school.
So no matter how Lance hinted in the past, Gilmore’s parents pretended not to understand
Today Lance directly stated that if Everly married Kennard, he could let Gilmore’s parents be chefs in Kennard’s hotel, and arrange for Gilmore to work as a manager in the hotel after graduation.
This was the first time Lance had expressed such an offer.
It meant that Kennard couldn’t wait any longer.
After all, Kennard was already 34 years old this year.
Since he had a successful career, of course he was in a hurry to get married.
Lance got to the point, but Harlan and his wife fell silent.
Of course they were unwilling to let their daughter marry Kennard.
Not only did nobody dare to provoke Kennard in Springvale, but he was also a bully in Elmwood.

If they refused, no one knew what Kennard would do to Everly.
Harlan and his wife were in a dilemma.
But at this moment, Gilmore said, “Uncle Lance. I’m sorry, Everly won’t marry your son.”
“What? Why?” Lance exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise and anger as he looked at Gilmore.
It was as if Gilmore’s disagreement was disrespectful towards him.
When Harlan and Sophia heard Gilmore’s outright rejection of Lance, they were afraid inside.
If Kennard were to learn of Gilmore’s disagreement, it would not only put Everly in danger but also place Gilmore at risk.
“Mr. Lanee, Gilmore simply wishes for his sister to marry after she completes her college education.” Sophia promptly intervened, attempting to mediate the situation to Lance.
However, Lance frowned and said, “But after Everly graduates from university, Kennard would be thirty–eight years old, and it would be too late. What about Everly marrying Kennard after graduating from high school, and then going to college?”
Such a ridiculous proposal!
Gilmore couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Uncle Lance, even if your son waits for another four years, my sister will never marry him. He’d better give up as soon as possible.
“What did you say?” Lance immediately glared at Gilmore. Obviously, he was angered by Gilmore’s words.
Sophia and Harlan were both worried about Gilmore.
They didn’t expect Gilmore to be so impulsive as to refute Lance.
It was impossible for them to mediate now.
They were so anxious.
However, Gilmore wasn’t afraid, and said word by word, “I said, it is better for your son to give up. My sister will never marry. your son!”
“Well said!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant old guy who wants to forcefully marry someone else’s sister. Is he still living in a feudal society?”
“Such a person really wasted his life!”
The guests couldn’t stand Lance any longer. They applauded when they heard Gilmore’s words.
Lance was trembling with anger, pointed at Gilmore and his parents, and said angrily, “You… you. Wait and see!”
After that, he left the restaurant with an angry face.
