Chapter 157 - Buy the Shop

The waiter looked down at them too. When he saw the two in plain clothes, he was a little unhappy. He grinned and said loudly, “Miss and Mr, we are Ning An Town’s high-class restaurant. Ordinary people can’t afford to eat here. One meal will cost at least ten taels of silver. I advise you to consider this carefully!” He meant that they were too poor to eat there.

Little twelve was angry again. ‘Why is this small town full of snobs? Even in the capital, they don’t treat their guests like this.’

He said angrily, “Since we’re here, of course, we’re here to eat. What’s there to consider?”

The waiter’s face turned green, but he still said in a disdainful tone, “I’m just advising the two of you to think about it carefully before ordering. Running away from a bill is prohibited at Yuelai Inn. No one is going to eat for free. If caught, you’d be sent to court!”

Little Twelve really didn’t know what to say. The waiter was so smart with his words because he managed to insult them without even using a curse word.

Little twelve wanted to shout at the waiter, but Lin Yuelan spoke. She said coldly, “I don’t know about the others, but I can’t believe even a small waiter at this high-class restaurant would look down on their guests. I guess this place is not that high-class after all if the employee training is so bad. I don’t think I’ll have my meal here because it’ll only lower my standard.”

Lin Yuelan suddenly wanted to thank the apocalypse. It had cultivated her superhuman talent. She was kicked out of the clothing store and now she was insulted at a restaurant. If she wasn’t super patient, she would have exploded already. However, she was not a homicidal maniac. There was no need for her to kill people for such a small matter. Otherwise, it would really make her become a bloodthirsty demon.

Immediately after, Lin Yuelan changed her tone, “However, I have a strange habit. I like to do things others don’t want to do. Therefore, I’m going to have my meal here today. So serve us some tea and water. Make sure not to spill a single drop of water or soup. Otherwise, I won’t pay because of your poor service. We’ll see who the court will side with then. Plus, I have to warn you. I’m abnormally strong. You have to forgive me if I accidentally break some cups and tables!”

She didn’t pay not because she was poor but because she didn’t want to. She was purposely testing them.

Then, Lin Yuelan and little twelve took a seat by the window.

Little twelve’s eyes sparkled with stars. He was full of admiration for Lin Yuelan. ‘Miss Lin is really impressive!’

One could tell from the waiter’s face that he was very angry. His face was red. People like him would only bully those who didn’t dare to fight back. He feared the strong. To deal with this kind of people, you had to put on a strong front. Then, they would back off.

…

Zhou Wencai and Liu Qi were having their meal in a private room of the second floor of Yuelai In..

Zhou Wencai happened to see Lin Yuelan walking in from the window. He immediately curled his lips and said to Liu Qi, “brother Liu, isn’t that the lady named Lin Yuelan?”

Liu Qi raised his head and saw that it was true. ‘The man behind her is carrying many things. It looks like they have gone shopping. But who is that man?’ Liu Qi was puzzled.

Zhou Wencai’s interest was piqued as he said, “brother Liu, why don’t we ask miss Lin to have a meal with us? After all, she is miss Yin ‘Er’s friend, so she’s our friend as well. ”

Liu Qi laughed and said, “brother Zhou, you want to treat her as a friend, but she might not treat you as a friend.”

Zhou Wencai said in disbelief, “Why don’t we make a bet then, brother Liu?”

“A bet?” Liu Qi asked doubtfully, “What do you mean?”

Zhou Wencai said with confidence, “We’ll invite Miss Lin up for a meal. If she admits that I’m her friend, you’ll lend me that new piece of jade you got for three days. If she doesn’t, I’ll give you the inkstone I got from Yan Zhou. How about this?”

This was very alluring to Liu Qi. He had been after Zhou Wencai’s pure graphite inkstone for a long time already. Therefore, Liu Qi had no reason to reject his friend.

However, as he was about to say something, he heard the waiter downstairs insult Lin Yuelan. Liu Qi’s face turned black.

Yuelai Inn belonged to the Liu Family. Yuelan Inn was a big business. The delicious food was a big reason but the other big reason was their impeccable service.

However, Liu Qi noticed that recently the business had declined. He had asked the manager, and the manager’s answer was that the weather had been hot recently, so many people did not like to come to the restaurant to eat.

Liu Qi had some doubts. Summer days came by every year, but this situation only happened this year. But he still accepted the reason. After all, the summer was extra hot that year.

However, from what he heard, that was not the reason at all. The real reason was that the service level at Yuelai Inn had dropped tremendously!

In fact, he just remembered that the decline in the business started when they recruited this new waiter.

He heard that the waiter was a distant relative of the manager.

Liu Qi was furious at the thought.

This was clear nepotism!

When Liu Qi and Zhou Wencai came down, Lin Yuelan was already sitting by the window.

When the waiter saw Liu Qi, he was a little surprised. He immediately went forward and smiled flatteringly. “Young master, if you need anything, just let me know. You don’t need to trouble yourself to come down.”

Liu Qi didn’t even look at the waiter and walked straight to Lin Yuelan.

The waiter thought that Liu Qi was here to chase Lin Yuelan away, so he immediately began to complain, “young master, this person has no money but…”

“Shut up! Miss Lin, I’m so sorry for the bad service you’ve been subjected to. Please don’t take it to heart!” Liu Qi said to her with an apologetic expression.

“What?” The waiter’s eyes widened in shock. He looked at Lin Yuelan and then at Liu Qi’s serious expression. He immediately realized that he had made a big mistake.

Then, Liu Qi continued, “As an apology, miss Lin, would you please come with me to the private room upstairs for a meal?”
