Chapter 81 - "Spilling All The Beans"

Zhao Yang was taken aback. The guy stared at Lai Jiayi's red eyes in astonishment. He couldn't help but ask again in a gentler voice than before. Now, it sounded like a whisper.

"Miss Lai? Are you alright– "

"No, I'm not!" Lai Jiayi gritted her teeth. She looked at Zhao Yang as if the guy was a bully. At this moment, the effect of the alcohol and the drug already took over the girl's mind.

All she wanted to do now was to pour out all her grievances.

"How can I'm okay, ah?? I feel soooo mad!" Lai Jiayi kicked the ground. The girl growled at Zhao Yang, acting like a wild beast.

Zhao Yang held his breath. He closed his eyes for a second before speaking in a calm tone.

"Why are you mad? Did I do something wrong?" The guy tilted his head, feigning innocent.

He had a face full of sincerity, looking as if he didn't do anything wrong.

Because he didn't.

But a pity, Lai Jiayi already had several grudges toward Zhao Yang, and conveniently, the drug plus the alcohol just helped her vent her frustration.

"Yes, boss, you did me wrong!" Lai Jiayi rubbed her red eyes as tears kept flowing out. The girl didn't stutter anymore, but her voice was trembling.

"I was wronged so many times, ah! You– you meanie!" Lai Jiayi glared at Zhao Yang again while secretly thinking of killing herself after this.

'Goddammit, I can't control my mouth!!'

The girl peeked at Yaya, asking for help with her eyes, yet the duck ignored it. He just raised a thumb.

[Go for it, Jia. You are in the safe zone, quack. Nothing too bad, quack.]

Lai Jiayi had the urge to kick Yaya and sealed her mouth. Yet even when she covered her mouth, she still had the urge to speak.

The girl bit her lips while staring at Zhao Yang with eyes looking like a wounded little beast.

"First, you accuse me of something I didn't do. Even if you already apologized…" Lai Jiayi took a deep breath. "But I'm still scared! And we can't rewind what already happened–"

'Yeah, I lost a lot of my barometer because of you!!'

Lai Jiayi shouted that in her heart, somehow could still keep her secret as a secret.

Hearing all the rants out of the blue, Zhao Yang subconsciously opened his mouth. He was stunned for a few seconds, not knowing what to do.

'Ah...is she drunk? Is that why she suddenly talks like this…'

The guy swallowed back his words. He didn't know why, but he felt cold sweat drenching his back.

'But to think she still remembers that incident…so she doesn't truly forgive me, right?'

Zhao Yang subconsciously scratched his cheek. He lowered his head and slowly spoke in a low tone of voice,

"That...I am sorry. I don't know you still mind it– "

"Of course, I do! Just because I'm a cleaning service, it doesn't mean you can accuse me like that, ah!" Lai Jiayi slammed her fist to the table, startling even Tianjin.

The swan hid behind Zhao Yang. Her eyes reflected a slight fear.

'Is this girl crazy?? Is she crying and angry at the same time? Uhhh, I thought she's a pushover. But, she's actually not?? Is this her real face?'

Zhao Yang also thought the same thing as Tianjin. The guy looked at Lai Jiayi with caution.

"That, I was…"

"No, no excuse. Boss, that's not the only time you make me mad." Lai Jiayi puffed her cheeks. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and spoke again,

"I just saved your nephew, risking my life, and the treatment I got was an accusation! Can you imagine what I felt at that time?" Lai Jiayi bit her lips as her shoulders trembled.

"I was so broken. I felt that my boss didn't trust me even when I risked my life for his nephew. I was already tired. My body was full of wounds. Yet you refused to listen to my words– "

Lai Jiayi trailed off. The girl quietly sobbed. She rubbed her cheeks and lowered her head. Amid a noisy bar, one couldn't hear her soft cry. But Zhao Yang could listen to it loud and clear.

"Miss Lai…" Zhao Yang stretched his hand toward Lai Jiayi's face. He felt something just block his throat.

"And...and...even though you are kind, b-but, you also did so many upsetting things to me. I know I was at fault for several cases, but that time with the twin-tail girl…"

Lai Jiayi refused to look at Zhao Yang. The girl just hid her face behind her palms, wishing to die.

'CAN THIS MOUTH SHUT UP?! AHHH, SOMEONE STOP ME!! This is so embarrassing!!'

Despite Lai Jiayi's wish to stop, her heart won't listen. She kept feeling like spilling all the beans tonight.

"I-I really didn't purposely make the floor slippery. But that girl accused me, and you side with her! J-just because the floor is a bit slippery, doesn't mean I purposely make that girl fall…"

Lai Jiayi rubbed her cheeks with the back of her palm as she talked off all her grievances. The girl still refused to look at Zhao Yang, but she didn't stop talking.

Her voice sounded so weak and heart-wrenching that Zhao Yang felt immense guilt. He suddenly thought that he is an absolute scum.

"Miss Lai...I– I didn't know. I was– "

"That matter is one thing. Next...you suddenly avoid me!" Lai Jiayi bawled out of the blue. The girl looked at Zhao Yang and stretched her two little paws.

Yaya suddenly widened his eyes in shock. The duck got a bad feeling.

[Jia, what will you do– ]
