Chapter 1362 - 1336: All Crows Under Heaven Are Equally Black
How could that fat man just let it go? He persisted, saying, "If an apology was enough, why would we need the police?"The man’s unreasonable attitude truly frightened the waitress, and her legs were trembling so much that she couldn’t speak.
Seeing the cute look on the waitress, the man grinned lecherously and said, "If you kiss me, I’ll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I’ll not only make you compensate for my losses but also ensure you lose your job."
The man’s actions were clearly aggressive, and losing this hard-earned job was unthinkable for the waitress.
Considering she was born into a poor family and lost her parents at a young age, she has been living and struggling with her younger brother, working hard to support his education over the years.
The waitress only hoped that her brother would grow up and have a better life for both siblings.
She knew that if she didn’t comply, she would definitely lose her job, and then how would she pay her brother’s tuition?
The waitress bit her lip, thought about it, and decided to compromise with fate.
She clenched her fists tightly and walked towards the man. Despite the man’s disgusting appearance and his pus-covered face, she suppressed her nausea and slowly leaned towards the man’s face.
Just as the man was smugly awaiting a sweet kiss, a man’s voice suddenly interrupted.
"Hold on."
The abrupt voice startled both the man and the waitress.
The owner of the voice was none other than Ye Chen.
The waitress turned her head to look at the male patron she had just rejected, her expression surprised and speechless.
The man glared with his triangular eyes and aggressively pointed at Ye Chen, saying, "Damn kid, mind your own business and get lost."
"Pigsy, I’m definitely going to involve myself in this matter. Just look at yourself, shamelessly asking a girl to kiss you. Truly shameless," Ye Chen said mockingly.
Just now, he couldn’t abide the actions of the pig-headed man, who reserved the whole restaurant for himself and didn’t let other guests dine. Such a person was indeed overbearing.
If it weren’t for Su Wanyi’s persuasion, he would have taught that pig-headed man a good lesson.
Now that the waitress was bullied by the pig-headed man, and he was present, he certainly couldn’t just stand by and let the villain succeed.
"Damn kid, you have quite the nerve. Do you know who I am, daring to interfere in my business?" the pig-headed man asked, furious.
Ye Chen’s words had seriously hurt him, and there was no way the pig-headed man would let it go.
"What does who you are even matter to me?" Ye Chen said plainly.
Seeing Ye Chen willing to argue with the pig-headed man for her sake, the waitress was grateful and hadn’t expected Ye Chen would help her.
The argument between the pig-headed man and Ye Chen drew the attention of the restaurant manager.
Seeing the scene before him, the manager first furrowed his brows, then came over to the pig-headed man with a flattering smile and asked, "Young Master Zhu, who made you so angry?"
The manager looked at the pig-headed man, whose face appeared somber, and felt a bit nervous. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend the Young Master Zhu before him.
Ye Chen chuckled at this, thinking it was fitting for someone of that name.
Zhu Qiang knew he was being mocked, and fury surged within him; he swore he would vent this anger.
"It’s not your restaurant’s waitress and this damned kid." Zhu Qiang pointed at Ye Chen and glared at the manager.
Upon hearing this, the manager looked Ye Chen up and down, noting that his attire suggested he was wealthy, and dared not offend him further.
At this moment, he turned to the waitress with displeasure and spoke coldly, "I think you don’t want to work here anymore. Quickly apologize to Young Master Zhu."
"I don’t accept this kind of method. Did you forget what I just said?" Zhu Qiang arrogantly replied.
This statement puzzled the manager, as he didn’t know what Zhu Qiang had said to the waitress, since he wasn’t present earlier.
"Young Master Zhu, what would it take for you to forgive her? How about I apologize on her behalf? Please consider her youth in my favor." The manager said humbly.
"In your favor? How much is your favor worth? You’re really overestimating yourself," Zhu Qiang said disdainfully.
The manager, being almost fifty, significantly older than Zhu Qiang, blushed at these words and remained silent.
Ye Chen had been silent the whole time, just wanting to see how the manager would handle the situation.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Zhu is absolutely correct." The manager said with a forced smile.
"I already told her that if she kissed me, everything would be written off," Zhu Qiang said with a smile, looking at the waitress.
The manager hesitated upon hearing this, knowing Zhu Qiang was causing trouble and wanting to take advantage of the girl.
Despite disliking Zhu Qiang’s approach, he had no choice due to his insignificant position.
Even if the manager wanted to help the girl, he couldn’t afford to get involved with his limited power.
Ye Chen watched the manager with amusement, waiting for his decision.
"See how good Young Master Zhu is being to you? Hurry and comply." The manager ordered the waitress.
The waitress initially thought the manager would come to her rescue but didn’t expect such an outcome.
The glimmer of hope she just had vanished without a trace.
Tears welled up as she slowly approached Zhu Qiang once more.
Ye Chen couldn’t bear to watch anymore. The manager’s method had truly disappointed him, and it seemed like he would have to step in himself.
"Manager, manager, if everyone acted like you, siding with outsiders without defending your employees, who would dare to work with you?" Ye Chen asked with a mocking tone.
He felt that the manager was too cowardly, unwilling to speak up for his own employees.
"Sir, this is none of your business, and the restaurant has been reserved by Young Master Zhu. If you want to dine, go somewhere else." The manager said, somewhat emotional.
At this moment, he vented all his frustrations from Zhu Qiang onto Ye Chen. Of course, seeing Ye Chen’s status, he dared not be too blunt.
"Little Ting, why aren’t you quick to kiss him? If you anger Young Master Zhu, we’ll be in deep trouble." The manager urged.
Liu Yuting never imagined that such a thing would happen to her. If she kissed, her first kiss would be gone, a cherished thing she had kept for so many years.
She had intended to give it to the one she loves most, yet couldn’t imagine it would be given to this grotesque man; her heart was unwilling and her tears streamed down uncontrollably.
