156 Dealing With Her Cousin
The Manager’s attitude had taken a 360-degree turn. He was hinting to Shen Yin that he would not fire Shen Luo and was even tactfully chasing Shen Yin away.
Shen Luo smugly wiped away her tears and waited to watch Shen Yin being completely humiliated.
Cheng Huo had come down later and had not heard what Shen Yin said at the beginning, so he did not know what was going on.
This woman did not even want to share the elevator with him. Instead, she chose to take the stairs, which made him very depressed.
Cheng Huo was furious when he saw others bully her like that. Just as he was about to scold Shen Luo, he saw Shen Yin shake her head at him.
She looked at Shen Luo, who was still pretending to be pitiful, and asked without any embarrassment, “Did I ask the Manager to fire you?”
“Cousin! What do you mean by that?! Would I slander you for no reason?” Shen Luo wiped her tears pitifully and walked to the manager’s side to apologize. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault, but I really couldn’t stand Cousin’s constant lying and I wanted to stop her. It’s all my fault. I’m willing to bear the consequences. Manager, please fire me.”
The Manager head throbbed as he waved her aside. He was angry when he thought about how he had hurried to give this woman a discount just now and even given her a bottle of good wine. He had been in the food and beverage industry for so long, but today, he had misjudged her.
He saw Cheng Huo idly standing there with no intention of interfering. Besides, he had seen Shen Yin pay for the meal. If Cheng Huo did not mind her background, why would someone dressed like that let a woman who ate with him pay the bill?
The Manager naturally thought that Cheng Huo had broken off with Shen Yin, so he spoke without restraint.
This woman’s true colors had been exposed by her cousin. Naturally, the man was unwilling to interfere, so he did not have to be so polite to her anymore.
He looked at Shen Yin and said coldly, “Since it’s your fault, our restaurant has no obligation towards you. Please pay the amount that was discounted from your meal.”
Shen Luo could no longer hide the smugness in her eyes. She had not expected the Manager to stand up for her. This time, Shen Yin had been utterly embarrassed. Not only did she have to pay up in public, but she would probably be blacklisted by this restaurant in the future. She would not be able to seduce rich men in the future!
Everyone kicks a man who is down.
Shen Yin lowered her eyes and stood there expressionlessly. She said softly, “Manager, you mean that whoever is at fault should bear the responsibility, right?”
The Manager frowned in confusion. Thinking that she was going to argue, he immediately urged her impatiently, “Of course. Please hurry up. I still have a business to run. I can’t waste time on you. Also, I hope you won’t come to our restaurant in the future. Our restaurant doesn’t welcome customers like you.”
Shen Yin nodded and reached into her satchel.
Shen Luo’s eyes were about to pop out. She was waiting for Shen Yin to take out the money, but Shen Yin suddenly pulled out something that looked like a pen but was obviously not a pen.
Shen Yin smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I’m a police officer and have the habit of carrying a recording pen with me. Shen Luo was so hostile to me just now, so I turned on the recording pen out of professional habit. I didn’t expect it to come in so handy.”
Shen Yin casually waved the recording pen in her hand. Looking at Shen Luo’s ugly expression, she smiled and said, “Do you want to listen to it together?”
Shen Luo screamed and tried to tackle her and stop her. Shen Yin nimbly dodged, leaving her sprawled on the floor. She gently pressed the play button, and the conversation between Shen Yin and Shen Luo that had taken place just as she arrived at the lobby suddenly played loudly.
In the recording, Shen Luo said sarcastically, “So what if I have? Shen Yin, are you worthy of him?”
The unreasonable, bullying tone was completely different from the pitiful figure that Shen Luo now cut as she sprawled on the ground.
Everyone understood.
The Manager was giddy with rage. He pointed at Shen Luo, who was still whining, and said furiously, “You’re fired! Don’t let me see you again!”
When he caught his breath, he realized what he had just said to this esteemed guest and hurriedly apologized. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. My attitude was bad. Why don’t I waive your bill? It’s my treat.”
“There’s no need.” After Shen Yin finished dealing with these people who needed to be taught a lesson, she dusted her hands and turned around to leave the restaurant. Ignoring the man who was following closely behind her, she casually called for a taxi to return to the Lian residence.
Shen Luo was just a minor character and could be easily dealt with. The one at home was the real trouble.
However, on second thought, since Lian Jing had already made it clear that he was drawing a line between them, he should not interfere in her business anymore.
After feeling guilty, Shen Yin shook her head and smiled bitterly. She was really a little paranoid about Lian Jing. When she really figured out how she felt, she could finally relax.
She was not related to Lian Jing, so she could not betray him. What was there to worry about? She just had to explain matters to her son.
