Chapter 19: 19 You must never believe her nonsense

19 You must never believe her nonsense

"Damn! Chen You nan, what the hell do you mean?" Xie Jingting's face showed anger.

Chen You nan hung up the phone, spun the phone on his fingertip, shrugged, and said, "You don't dislike your sister-in-law, do you? We've been 'friends' for so many years—I'll definitely stand with you. If you get rid of her, you can finally get a new sister-in-law as you wish."

"Who said I det......"

Before Xie Jingting could finish speaking, a loud bang came from downstairs, followed immediately by the sound of shattering bowls and plates.

The two turned their heads downstairs upon hearing the sound.

They saw a female student sitting with her back to the upstairs, pushing the waiter to the ground, and she said in a disgusted tone, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands. Want me to apologize to you? You're not even worthy."

The waiter clenched his lips, looking bullied but too afraid to fight back.

Many people were there filming that scene with their phones.

And that female student didn't explain; she just sat there coldly, looking down at the waiter on the floor.

Xie Jingting felt that voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

At that moment, the hot pot restaurant's manager came running over.

Ning Hao looked as if he had seen a savior and hurriedly complained:

Sister Xue nian, this customer said she didn't have enough money, then wanted to pay separately; I said our store doesn't support split payment, and then she cursed me to die and said I would go to hell.

I didn't want to make a big scene affecting other customers' dining, so I thought I'd go over and apologize first, but she actually hit me!

After saying that, two tears that were about to fall slid down his cheeks.

Quite a sight of a handsome guy shedding tears.

The manager was a woman with shoulder-length hair, wearing a neat black uniform, looking just over thirty, with a bit of a strong-willed woman vibe.

She reached out to pull him up, saying, "Get up first."

Ning Hao pursed his lips, snorted, dodged Wang Xue nian's hand, and thus expressed his dissatisfaction.

Wang Xue nian let out a silent sigh, a flicker of heartache flashing in her eyes.

After Ning Hao got up, Wang Xue nian patted his arm and said, "I'll handle this; you go get busy."

"Wait a moment." Tushan Jiu, taking in everything with her gaze, spoke: "Did I let him go?"

A gloom flickered in Ning Hao's eyes as he said, "Then what else do you want? Not making you apologize is already generous; you still......"

Wang Xue nian shot him a sharp glance, and Ning Hao barely managed to shut his mouth.

She turned her head and smiled at Tushan Jiu, saying:

Sorry, miss, for the unpleasant dining experience. Based on what our staff told me just now, which hasn't been confirmed, I need some time to check the surveillance.

If it's our staff's mistake, we will certainly punish them severely; but if you indeed insulted, abused, and cursed our staff, then you should apologize as well, otherwise we will pursue legal action to protect our employees' rights.

Tushan Jiu chuckled lightly: "Not bad, it seems you haven't completely lost your mind for love."

Wang Xue nian furrowed her brows: "What do you mean by that?"

Tushan Jiu didn't answer her question, nor did she pay attention to the onlookers' gazes; she calmly took out a nail clipper from her bag, placed it on the table, looked at Wang Xue nian's eyes, and said softly:

"Miss Wang, draw the knife, aren't you suspecting he's hiding something from you? The knife serves as proof, the words as evidence. I'll only collect payment once the prophecy comes true."

Ning Hao's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "What prophecy, all this mumbo-jumbo—do you believe me if I report you to the police for feudal superstition?"

Wang Xue nian turned to look at him, and Ning Hao lowered his voice: "I think she just wants a free meal, has no money to pay the bill, and is trying to trick you, Sister Xue nian, into giving her a freebie—you must never believe her nonsense!"

As his words fell, an angry voice came from upstairs: "Who are you calling nonsense?"

Everyone turned their heads toward the sound.

Tushan Jiu looked up, eyes showing surprise: "Ah, third brother, what a coincidence, you're also eating hot pot here."

Xie Jingting waved at her: "Sister-in-law, wait for me, I'm coming down right now."

Just now he felt the voice was familiar; as soon as that nail clipper appeared, he instantly recognized it—it was his sister-in-law, Tushan Jiu!

Hey, his explosive temper flared up instantly.

Whoever dares to bully the Xie family, especially his sister-in-law, had better be prepared to face Xie Jingting as if he were dead!

He pulled his head back and rushed downstairs in a hurry.

Chen You nan beside him froze for a few seconds, glanced down at the people below, and thought, "Is this the legendary mountain ditch sister-in-law of Xie Jingting?"

It seems they get along pretty well.

If there's excitement to be had, why not watch? If we can catch a chance to embarrass Xie Jingting, all the better.

Having such a "godstick" sister-in-law makes it hard for him not to lose face~

Without a moment's hesitation, he also turned and followed them downstairs.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Wang Xue nian had already started sweating on her forehead.

As the manager of this establishment, she naturally knew the young master of the Xie family.

Just now he called the person in front of him sister-in-law, so it's likely this female student also has considerable background.

Today's matter probably won't be settled easily.

But unfortunately, Ning Hao is acting even more childish than usual today.

He crossed his arms, believing himself brave as he stood in front of Wang Xue nian, saying, "What? Don't think I'm scared just because you brought backup—I've had enough today; worst case, I quit this job, and I'll also demand justice for us lowly folks!"

As soon as he said that, people around began to echo, "Yeah, aren't waiters human too? How can you just insult them like that?"

"Really lacking quality—I heard her curse that little handsome guy to die and go to hell!"

"A maid's fate yet she puts on the airs of a young lady—I just saw her eat ten plates of meat, as if she hadn't eaten rice at all."

"Exactly, I think that young guy is right—what nail clipper, what prophecy—she's just using this trick to scam the meal fee; Manager Sis, you must never believe her!"

The discussion went on and on, and the scene once again entered a heated stage.

Tushan Jiu remained as steady as an old dog, utterly unmoved by their words—just like "a puppet on stage, similar to hanging silk," that's all.

Soon they'll find out what it means: trust people with caution, blind trust carries risk.

After Xie Jingting ran downstairs and heard what those people were saying, he almost died of anger.

He walked over, blocked their line of sight, directly pulled out a black card and threw it onto the table,

"Is my sister-in-law, Xie Jingting, worth tricking you out of a meal? Today this matter must be given an explanation to me, otherwise I'll sue this shop!"

Wang Xue nian grabbed Ning Hao, who was blocking her front, and yanked him to the back.

He lowered his attitude, saying, "Sorry, young master Xie, it's our fault, we let this lady suffer injustice; I'll have Ning Hao apologize to this lady right now."

"Ning Hao, hurry up and apologize to this lady!"
