Below contains spoilers of when Xu Jianguo met Ci Nian once again: = = = = = = = = = = = == =
1.) Xu Ci Nian's restaurant was flourishing with the help of Uncle Zhong teaching him the Zhao's family recepie and QC advertising his wife's restaurant. They were serving a special meal set that the Xu family used to cook(this was the famous dish that made the Xu family rich and it was from Ci Nian's mom(RIP))
2.) Rumors spread that this new restaurant was serving the same dish that the Xu family used to sell and that it was for a lower price. The Xu family had stopped making the dish because no one knew how to recreate it.
3.) Xu Jianguo hears about this restaurant and wants to personally inspect it. (The Xu family was filled with scandals at the time and was not doing really well)
4.) When he arrived at the small restaurant he was shocked. The restaurant was built in the image of how his father( Ci Nian's grandpa) always wanted to have. He had asked one of the waiters if the owner was from ____ but the waiter said that his boss is actually a local. "A local?", Xu Jianguo asked himself because it was not common for a local to start a chinese restaurant that authentic.
4.) Ci Nian's POV= He was cooking when LXM bursted into the kitchen telling him that Xu Jianguo was outside the restaurant. He was shocked at first but then continued cooking. LXM asked if they should just immediately close the doors before he can come in but Ci Nian refuses. He says that he is a normal guest , there is nothing to be afraid of so he should just let him come in. LXM had doubts on what Ci Nian was thinking but in the end they had just let him in.
5.) Xu Jianguo makes a fuss at the restaurant. And when he ordered the famous dish, he was shocked because it tasted and looked the same on how his "wife" made it. As if he was sent back in time when he had first tasted it. Xu Jianguo's servant thought that his master had gone crazy because he kept saying the name of his dead wife. After, Xu Jianguo was bribing the waiter(the waiter this time was LXM) to give the big stash of money XJ has to the chef and that maybe he could hire him to cook for the Xu family. LXM was disgusted on how he acted and refused to do so.
6.) Both LXM and XJ were quarrelling when Ci Nian came outside of the kitchen and said "Xiao Mao, apologise to the guest". Another for shocker for XJ when he saw his supposedly dead son right there, alive. LXM in his head was thinking that it was foolish for Ci Nian to reveal himself so casually.
7.) Ci Nian acted as if he didn't know this man and used a faked name. But XJ and his servant(forgot his name but he was the one with the moustache ) knew that it really was Ci Nian.
8.) Many things happened(I'm gonna skip this part because it would be too long to add) and the atmosphere was bad. Then a small dumpling showed up and ran to Ci Nian and saw what was happening. Xu Jianguo saw this child call Ci Nian "father" and was surprised when he had learned that his "son"(CN) had a son. Xu Jianguo asked if he(Wowo) was really his, Ci Nian answered him with a lie that "it is natural for me to have a son and be married to my wife at this age". Xu Jianguo thought that Ci Nian had abandoned homosexuality and had a chubby son.
9.) Xu Jianguo wanted to hug Wowo but Ci Nian refuses and still takes on the illusion that he was not Ci Nian. Xu Jianguo was fed up by him pretending that he wasn't Ci Nian and called him cruel because he won't let him hug Wowo. An argument occurs and Wowo was removed from the scene by LXM.
10.) Ci Nian had called some fo the brothers from the Azure Dragon Gang to block the door and remove the servant Xu Jianguo was with. Only the two of them were left until Uncle Zhong appeared at the scene.
11.) Xu Jianguo was insulting Ci Nian that he should have killed him when he was born. And even though Ci Nian doesn't treat Xu Jianguo as his father anymore, he was still hurt by those words and an old wound in his heart started to bleed again.
12.) Uncle Zhong saw Ci Nian's pale face and got really angry at Xu Jianguo. At first Xu Jianguo didn't recognize who this man was and told him not to get entangled with them. Uncle Zhong introduced himself as the servant of Ci Nian's mom blah blah blah and then another argument begins.
13.) Uncle Zhong and Xu jianguo were both left into the room fighting. There was an actual fight scene going on and Ci nian who was now watching by the cctv wanted to stop it because Uncle Zhong might die but LXM stopped him and said that Uncle Zhong was carrying out the plan for him and if he were to stop it foght now, all his efforts would have gone to waste.
14.) While being recorded in the cctv, Xu Jianguo (while fighting Uncle Zhong) admitted that he indeed stole the Zhao's family recepie. At that moment, Uncle Zhong was finally taken out of the room because thay had already gotten what they needed, proof that it was the Zhao's family recepie, not Xu's.
15.) Uncle Zhong got medical assitance and all of Xu Jianguo's guards and him were dropped of by a near police station.
16.) Xu Ci Nian called Qu Cheng after he got the footage and tasked one of their men to hack into the Xu's website and upload the video there. News spread blah blah blah and the Xu's reputation was destroyed once again.
17.) Xu Jianguo woke up in hospital and remembered what happened in Ci Nian's restaurant.
(Note: parts of this may not be 100% accurate as I just made this from what I remembered and I only read the novel through Google translate)
Bonus:
Ci Nian and Qu Cheng were flirting over the phone and in their conversation, Qu Cheng was saying that he should repay him by letting him use his "baby" that Ci Nian loved so much. Ci Nian retaliated back and said that he can also use his own "baby" on Qu Cheng and give him pleasure. And then after some more flirting, Qu Cheng introduced that idea that he and Ci Nian should watch the footage of Xu Jianguo on his new tv while Ci Nian is riding him. Ci Nian was flustered by his man's thoughts and said that he should stop his weird sexual fantasies.
