Chapter 525: 525, will you never be able to come out for the rest of your life? (Second update)
He didn’t know why he suddenly got out of the car. The car was going too fast, and with just a fleeting glimpse amid the crowd, he recognized it was her. Then, his heartbeat raced out of control, a sensation he had never experienced in the previous twenty or so years of his life.
It was novel and thrilling.
Indescribable with words.
"Mr. Song, what would you like to eat?" the waiter walked up to Song Shiqin and asked.
Song Shiqin calmly replied, "The same as what the customer at Table 8 is having."
The waiter was slightly taken aback before responding, "Alright, please wait a moment." As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards Table 8, where a very young girl sat. With features like jade and skin like snow, red lips, and white teeth, she was a picture of beauty, even just sitting there quietly.
In the waiter’s mind, two words surfaced: Beauty!
A beauty without a doubt, both in temperament and appearance, she was top-notch.
Comparing himself with the beauty, the waiter sighed in his heart. There was no harm without contrast.
In a short while, Mo Qingyi returned with the little girl from the bathroom. Chu Jin put down her phone and smiled warmly at them, "You’re back. The food is all served. Come, sit down and let’s eat."
The steam from the hot pot blurred the three people’s smiling faces.
Song Shiqin knew Mo Qingyi, and upon seeing her, he was reminded of Chu Jin’s second identity—
Mo Zhixuan’s fiancée.
At this thought, Song Shiqin’s eyes darkened for a moment.
As bleak as the hot pot in front of this lone person.
Amid the elegant and serene atmosphere, there suddenly came several ’bang bang’ noises, as if something had fallen to the ground and made a crisp sound.
What followed was a shrill female voice, "What’s the matter with you, waiter? Are you blind? Where’s your manager? I want to complain about you!"
Mixed with this were the cries of a child.
Then came ceaseless apologies, "Madam, I’m so sorry, it wasn’t intentional."
With her hands on her hips and a fierce look in her eyes, the woman said, "Not intentional? So it was on purpose! They say Shi Yu Xuan has the best service in Capital City. Look at you; do you have any sense of service at all? Do you think a simple sorry is enough to settle this? If anything happens to my son today, you’ll be in trouble!"
The woman was aggressive, and the child standing by her side was rubbing his eyes and continually crying, but she was utterly indifferent to the child’s feelings, vigorously questioning the waiter as if she wanted to tear the waiter apart.
The waiter also felt wronged. She was carrying a drink ordered by the customer at Table 8 when two children, chasing each other, suddenly ran out from the side. One of them crashed into her, almost completely catching her off guard—she was stunned by the impact!
By the time she came to, the drink had already shattered, and both she and the child had fallen to the ground from the collision’s force.
Moreover, her fingers had been cut by the glass shards. Fortunately, there seemed to be no visible injuries on the child. Shi Yu Xuan emphasized service attitude, and no matter the situation, the customer was always right! Even when encountering unreasonable customers like the one at present, the waiter could only bow her head and admit fault! All she could do was swallow her complaints and pain!
This woman had been following the child, and when the child chased and made noise in public, not only did she not stop him, but when he bumped into others, she immediately shifted the blame onto someone else. It was a bit too much, especially since she seemed to think her reasoning was sound, feeling that spending money here made her God, that having money made her the boss, and that no one was better than her.
Faced with such a person, the waiter could only keep bowing and apologizing, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was just walking and didn’t expect a child to suddenly dash out. I’m truly very sorry for the trouble caused."
Upon hearing this, the woman became even angrier, pointing at the waiter and saying, "Say that again! Are you implying that you want to bite back? My son is only 5 years old, are you also 5 years old? Are you a corpse? Didn’t you see my son coming? You didn’t even think to step aside? Get your manager over here right now!" The woman’s face turned bright red with anger, as if she was the real victim.
With so much commotion going on here, the surrounding diners all looked over, everyone has a penchant for gossip, yet no one stepped forward to speak a fair word, they just muttered quietly to each other.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way, please don’t be upset," the waiter could only apologize in a subdued voice, then took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe away the tears on the little boy’s face, "Little friend, don’t cry, it was auntie’s fault. Is there anywhere on your body that hurts?"
Unsurprisingly, this sentence further enraged the woman. She pushed the waiter aside, her eyes filled with disdain, and she coldly said, "You, a menial servant, how dare you ask my son to call you ’auntie’? Is my son even in the same world as you? Shameless!"
This was indeed going too far, directly attacking the waiter’s person. Anyone with a slightly weak mental constitution couldn’t accept it. Yet, the waiter couldn’t retort and had to continue apologizing, "I’m sorry, madam, it was a mistake in my words. Please don’t take offense, I’m sorry..."
Just then, the manager hurried over, "Madam, I’m truly very sorry, I am the manager here, if you have any issues, you can talk directly to me."
The manager was a man of about 30 years old with glasses, looking refined and cultured.
The woman looked down her nose at the manager, "Are you the manager here? May I ask how you train your staff here? Can people with no quality, no sense of service, also be a waiter? Look what they did to my son?"
"I’m really sorry, it indeed was the mistake of our staff, causing you an unpleasant dining experience. How about this, today’s expenses at ’Shi Yu Xuan’ will be on the house for you..."
"Do I look like someone short of money to you?" The woman snorted coldly, "You think you can send me away with just a free meal? After she bumped into my son like this, she shouldn’t be held accountable? My son is all bruised now and has been crying in pain, what are you going to do about it?"
Right then, the little boy suddenly looked up, stopped crying, and stuttered, "Mom, I’m not hurt, let’s go..."
There’s no lying in the mouths of children, and with so many eyes on her, the woman couldn’t save face. She glared at the boy and said sternly, "What do you know, child? Children should not interrupt adults!"
The little boy quickly shut his mouth, clearly frightened of this mother.
"Even if my son isn’t in pain now, that doesn’t mean he won’t be later, what if he has internal injuries? He’s just a child, what does he know? Also, do you know what brand this T-shirt my son is wearing is? Do you know how much it’s worth? After your drink spill, can my son wear this T-shirt ever again?"
A meal at ’Shi Yu Xuan’ starts at a four-figure price at minimum. Once these words were uttered, everyone’s eyes turned to the little boy. There were some who recognized that this piece of clothing was from an internationally renowned luxury brand, worth a six-figure sum or more, indeed not something a waiter could afford to compensate.
"I’m sorry, madam, I will give you my entire month’s salary as compensation, is that enough?"
"A month’s salary?" The woman scoffed, speaking from a position of superiority, "I think even if you were sold, you couldn’t afford the compensation! It looks to me like you can only be a waiter for the rest of your life!"
The waiter clenched her fists in humiliation, her eyes reddening. What was wrong with being a waiter? Should waiters be looked down upon?
The woman continued, "My son’s T-shirt is the only one of its kind in the world, designed by a famous designer, and also holds collectible value, worth 180,000 yuan! Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"
The waiter was so shocked she stepped back a few paces, 180,000 yuan! Her face full of disbelief. In her mind, a few thousand yuan for an article of clothing was already expensive, but 180,000 yuan was completely beyond what she could afford!
And it was just a T-shirt. How could it be so expensive? Could it be made of gold?
Seeing the waiter’s shocked expression, the woman smiled with contempt, "What an uncultured bumpkin. But I’m not an unreasonable person. If you can’t afford it, just kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, yell ’I’m sorry’ loudly three times, then we’ll call it even. Otherwise, you will have to pay me the 180,000 yuan, even if it means selling all you own!"
This is what’s called the malicious pleasure of a wealthy woman, who reveled in the sight of the humble and weak submitting at her feet.
It was also a display of capricious distortion.
The waiter, with tears streaming down his face, begged, "Ma’am, I..."
The woman, unaffected, coldly said, "What ’I’? If you don’t have the money, then kowtow!"
"180,000, right? I’ll pay it!" Just then, another waiter walked over.
The voice sounded familiar; Song Shiqin lifted his eyes and saw that it was Chen Xinci. Although clad in a waiter’s uniform, the unique aura enveloping her was unmistakable.
Sure enough, a kind girl with a sense of justice, appreciation flickered in Song Shiqin’s eyes. Calling her the National Goddess online didn’t seem farfetched at all.
The woman looked up at Chen Xinci, sneered upon seeing her also in a waiter’s attire, her eyes brimming with disdain.
"As if you could afford it," she mocked.
How dare a mere waiter be so arrogant!
Chen Xinci also smiled, pulling out a check from her pocket and coldly throwing it in the woman’s face, "200,000; keep the change! The rest, I consider it thrown to the dogs!" Having said that, she pulled the waiter and strode out.
Everyone was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, even more so by the fact that a humble waiter could casually toss out 200,000!
But the way that waiter threw the check was truly cool!
The woman, grasping her son, alternated between shades of red and white with anger. Just then, another waiter was approaching with drinks. She grabbed a bottle of wine and furiously smashed it towards Chen Xinci’s head.
It was always her insulting others; when had anyone insulted her? How could the woman swallow this humiliation? After all, her family was overflowing with money; even if she actually killed someone, she could smooth it over! What mattered now was venting her anger!
No one expected the woman to act this way.
The bottle was full of wine; if it really hit the young girl’s head, the consequences would be dire. Everyone gasped in shock, crying out, "Watch out!"
Song Shiqin propped his hands on the table, about to get up, when his pupils suddenly shrank!
A blur streaked with chilling intent shot toward them! It was all too familiar to him! If he wasn’t wrong, that had to be a playing card! The person he could think of who would use a playing card like that was none other than one person!
With that thought, he looked in Chu Jin’s direction, only to see the three people there still leisurely enjoying their hot pot and peeling crayfish, undisturbed by the outside world. At that moment, their eyes saw nothing but gourmet food.
If he didn’t know Chu Jin, he wouldn’t have imagined that this seemingly indifferent young girl could possess such skill. However, he wasn’t surprised that she intervened to save someone; hadn’t she saved his life as well?
’Bang!’ The flying wine bottle was struck by a playing card mid-air and crashed to the floor with a loud popping sound.
The playing card didn’t fall; it continued flying forward and embedded itself in the wall.
Chen Xinci turned her head, her complexion slightly pale; she knew someone had intervened to save her, or else she would have met her end here today!
"Intentional assault without success!" Chen Xinci looked at the woman and spoke coldly, "Stay at home these next few days and wait for my lawyer’s letter!"
With those words, Chen Xinci turned and walked away.
The woman was furious. In a single day, she had been humiliated by the same waiter twice! Without a care for her son, the woman picked up a decorative vase and chased after Chen Xinci’s retreating figure! Today, she was determined to teach this waiter a lesson!
She was too fast for anyone to intervene in time!
The woman grabbed Chen Xinci’s wrist with one hand and raised the vase with the other, smashing it down hard onto Chen Xinci’s head!
Could this woman be insane? In that instant, such a thought crossed Chen Xinci’s mind! Then, she closed her eyes tightly and silently endured what was to come.
Ill-fated!
’Crash!’ The sound of the vase shattering rang through the air.
Chen Xinci trembled with fear, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, her nose detected a very pleasant fragrance, reminiscent of orchids, bamboo, and plums.
Chen Xinci slowly opened her eyes and saw a young girl in a goose-yellow dress standing before her, slightly taller than herself, holding her arm with one hand and the other on her head as shards of the vase fell from above her.
It was this girl who had shielded her head with her hand!
"Thank you. Are your hands okay?" Chen Xinci reacted immediately.
Chu Jin gave her a small smile, "It’s nothing."
The crowd was stunned again, swallowing nervously. Were the young girls of today this formidable?
One was more impressive than the next!
Seeing her good deed thwarted again, the woman, shaking with anger, raised her hand to slap Chu Jin’s face, "And what are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s business?"
Chu Jin lifted her hand lightly and caught the woman’s wrist easily, her lips curving up slightly as she spoke in a cool tone, "Extortion and intentional injury, do you know how many years these two charges added together can get you? This restaurant has surveillance. Believe it or not, I can ensure you never get out again, hmm?" The intonation at the end rose gently, full of significance and depth.
The reason Chu Jin didn’t push the woman away directly but instead pressed her hand on Chen Xinci’s head and bravely endured the vase was precisely to cement the woman’s charge of intentional injury.
But, what on earth was this extortion charge?
The onlookers were curious and didn’t understand the meaning behind Chu Jin’s words, but after hearing them, the woman turned pale, because the clothing on her son wasn’t authentic at all.
It was just a 20,000-yuan counterfeit, and the real designer piece had long been bought by a wealthy foreigner. She, too proud to lose face, had bragged about it to her friends and bought a knockoff. Days had passed without anyone noticing the issue, but now this young girl had exposed it!
"I don’t understand what you’re saying! What fake goods? That T-shirt is authentic! There’s only one like it in the whole world!" The woman could only pretend not to understand Chu Jin’s words. In doing so, she inadvertently confessed, because Chu Jin hadn’t mentioned the fake goods, but she herself did.
Chen Xinci reacted instantly, pulling out the check from the woman’s possession and spoke loudly, "Oh, so you’ve been parading around with a fake and defrauding people! You’re done for today! Get ready for a lawsuit!"
