Chapter 111: I Also Want to Help Mom
"Being with me isn't a loss for you; President Fu let you leave the company just because he didn't want to play with you, right?"
"If you stay with me, I can give you a lot of money; after all, you've been with so many people already, adding me isn't much!"
Xu Zha, seeing someone backing him up, grew increasingly brazen in his words, speaking as if he were mad.
Lu Xiwán tightened her grip, restraining herself so she didn't strike the person again.
"What you say sounds as real as the truth; where's your evidence?"
This time his lewd, vulgar remarks were spoken right in front of everyone.
Lu Xiwán wasn't worried about being set up in return.
"To prevent you from denying it this time, I deliberately turned on my phone's recording."
"I've recorded everything you just said; can you now go to the Police Station?"
Xu Zha's behavior perfectly exemplifies what it means to bring about one's own ruin.
The evidence delivered to the doorstep arrived; Yun Ruojin can no longer protect him.
Lu Xiwán directly fixed her gaze on Si Jiuyin, "Call the police right away."
Xu Zha was as quiet as a chicken, truly at a loss for how to argue, while the manager spoke up at the right moment.
"Sorry, what happened today is indeed a lapse on our restaurant's part."
"But we hope you can be magnanimous; if this spreads, it will greatly affect our restaurant."
Although he was courteous, his words carried an unrefusable arrogance.
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Who gets to decide whether it matters?"
"It wasn't a big deal to begin with; let's turn the big into small and the small into nothing!"
"If it truly leads to severe consequences, we will also have to offer you compensation."
The manager said the sentence lightly, and Lu Xiwán keenly sensed the implication behind his words.
He simply didn't want them to keep handling this matter.
She was still the fool for not seeing the relationship within this.
Moreover, before speaking, the manager deliberately glanced toward Yun Ruojin's direction.
"Of course, as long as the police deem tonight my fault, I am willing to fully compensate the restaurant's losses."
The manager had nothing to say, standing silently with his head lowered.
At this point, money is no longer the priority; Lu Xiwán wants only a clean slate and the truth.
She was inexplicably scolded, being pointed at in the nose, and felt extremely upset.
"Xi Xi is missing!" Si Jiuyin, after hanging up, realized the tiny figure that had been following him was gone, and he frantically searched everywhere.
Lu Xiwán's attention shifted instantly, her eyes naturally landing on the hallway's surveillance.
"Now we can finally retrieve your restaurant's surveillance footage, right?"
Lu Xiwán could no longer worry about saving face; finding the child was the priority.
The manager gave a wry smile, shook his head apologetically, "The decision isn't mine; I still need to consult our general manager's opinion…"
He had mastered the art of shirking responsibility.
By the time he finished consulting, it would be ages later; whether they'd find it remains a question.
Lu Xiwán could no longer hold back; with fierce anger she shouted at the manager, "Losing a child is no ordinary matter; even if the police come, you must investigate for me!"
"If anything happens to my child, this restaurant won't even think of opening its doors again!"
Whenever anything involves the child, Lu Xiwán easily loses her composure.
She cannot watch her child be in danger with her eyes wide open.
The manager, frightened by Lu Xiwán's outburst, glanced at Yun Ruojin, and seeing she didn't refuse, resignedly led the two of them to the surveillance room.
