Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Approaching_1

"Haha, it’s okay, baby, the server is just asking if we’re sure we want our dishes served now. You wait here for a bit; I’ll go pay the bill." The boy quickly stood up, wanting to pull the server aside, not wanting his girlfriend to hear such an embarrassing remark. It didn’t matter to him whether it was successful or not.

Now, the server had a smile on her face. Her favorite sight was a penniless man showing his embarrassment in front of the woman he loved. So, without any politeness, she spoke up loudly and clearly.

"Miss, your boyfriend here was asking me if we could make the food any cheaper. Our restaurant is high-end, not some marketplace where you can haggle. Don’t you think all our dishes are made with the finest ingredients? Can you reduce the price of such precious items?

But your boyfriend here doesn’t appreciate the value, always looking for a discount. It’s really bothersome to me. Take a good look at what your boyfriend is thinking, huh? If you can’t afford it, then just let it be; there’s no need to put on airs. It’s a normal thing."

It was a simple sentence, but loudly spoken, drawing the attention of quite a few people in the restaurant. The girl’s face instantly turned as red as a monkey’s bottom; she had never imagined her boyfriend would haggle in such a grand establishment.

Before, this had never been an issue. Could it be that something had happened? Her first thought was about her boyfriend, perhaps he was short on cash recently and that was why he was behaving like this. Still, it was embarrassing. After all, so many well-off people were watching. If someone took a photo and posted it on some social app, wouldn’t she be utterly humiliated?

The boyfriend also hadn’t expected the server to be so oblivious to the mood, to just spit out that remark without considering the customer’s feelings. So what if he couldn’t pay right away? Wasn’t he going to pay eventually? Was it so wrong to ask for a simple discount?

The server was pretty awful, actually, and at this point, the boyfriend was getting angry and quite keen on making a complaint.

Kang Yue had been watching the gaudily-dressed server, and soon noticed the commotion. She was furious upon hearing the server’s words, thinking the server might be the restaurant’s worst employee. If the business was bad, it was probably due to her, making such comments about the customers.

The two tables were very close, and just moments ago, she was curious to see what the server was up to. The boy was merely asking for a little discount.

Seeing how the boy was obviously sincere, if there had been no hope for a discount, he surely wouldn’t have persisted. But before waiting for a response from the server, the girlfriend had appeared, and the server rolled out quite a performance—Kang Yue felt she would definitely go up and rip her apart if she were in that situation.

"How can there be such a server? If such a person worked for me, I’d definitely kick them out right away. It’s just too damaging to the company’s reputation. To be able to provoke discomfort like that is simply a lack of emotional intelligence," Kang Yue commented.

She spoke in a very quiet voice, but the server still heard her comment. Perhaps she had ears like a hawk; her face instantly turned sullen, and she twisted her expression as she turned and said excitedly to Kang Yue: "What capabilities do you have? You’re only sitting here because of that gentleman.

You even ordered the most expensive dishes! Had it not been for this gentleman, who knows where you’d be picking through trash. Hold on to him as much as you can and stop making snide remarks. After all, not all women are like you. I am just helping this miss see her boyfriend’s true colors.

After all, those with no capability who still try to put on airs aren’t good people. If this miss escapes this misery early, she should come back and thank me, don’t you think so, miss?"

The server spoke with a mocking sneer, which infuriated Kang Yue, who had not expected the server to so brazenly twist the truth.

"If I go and complain now, do you think the server will be fired?" Kang Yue was beyond angry and had lost her usual train of thought, turning to Shen Dong to speak her mind.

Shen Dong had been enjoying the drama until he was called out, and turning back, he noticed his companion had become a little pressure cooker without him realizing.

"Don’t just watch the spectacle; this whole thing started because of you. You’re still grinning there, not taking any of this seriously. Don’t you think the server is really green tea?" Kang Yue was irritated, feeling like all men were the same, incapable of recognizing a gold digger. With such obvious signs, the situation was no longer tolerable. Now that she couldn’t stand seeing it anymore, she was ready to tear into the girl if given the chance.

It wasn’t clear if the other girl could withstand the pressure, as the situation was looking a bit bleak. It seemed Kang Yue had to take action herself, and with her strong argumentative skills, it would be a waste not to use them. So, she stood up, looking like a parrot ready to battle.

Shen Dong, seeing his companion stand up, was somewhat surprised. Was she about to act all righteous and intervene? That was rare indeed, and it seemed the server had really angered her. He simply watched, sure that she could handle the situation.

The girl felt incredibly awkward; why would the server do something like this? The boy was also extremely embarrassed, luckily Kang Yue came over at that moment.

As Kang Yue approached from the front, she seemed to bring with her the light of righteousness, stepping forth as if on a mission to uphold justice.

Her action startled everyone present, especially the server, who wondered why that woman had suddenly appeared, staring so fiercely, as if she intended to devour her.

The server’s heart fluttered with panic; surely, she wasn’t there to stir up trouble. After all, the server hadn’t done anything so egregiously wrong, and now she stood there mutely, as if waiting for something.

Kang Yue wasn’t about to coddle her. She walked over with an overwhelming presence, while the young girl looked on, not knowing what to do.
