Chapter 90: Suffering the consequences
The waitress's gaze was direct and clear.
Plus, she suddenly came over to talk to him, and only then did Si Ran notice her.
The waitress in front of him was also wearing a white shirt and a hip-hugging skirt, and had delicate makeup on her face.
Si Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at him appraisingly.
The person in front of her didn't even notice that the atmosphere was a little off. Her colleague next to her saw that something was wrong and hurried out to call the manager.
After the person left, this person didn't move at all, not to mention that Si Ran frowned slightly after realizing what she said.
Seeing Si Ran didn't say anything, the waitress thought Si Ran didn't recognize her and quickly said, "Si Ran, have you forgotten? I'm Wu You! We were from the same village before. It's only been a few years, and you don't recognize me!"
Wu You was completely immersed in the excitement of seeing his friend and continued, "We haven't seen each other for three or four years since you got into university. You've been doing pretty well these days, much better than me!"
As Wu You spoke, his eyes again vaguely fell on Pei Yu. He moved closer to Si Ran and lowered his voice, saying, "Is this your financial sponsor?"
Anyone who can come to this restaurant to eat must have a monthly income of at least hundreds of thousands. The man in front of her looks extraordinary. Si Ran actually managed to hook such a wealthy sponsor!
Wu You was not envious, he was jealous.
She and Si Ran are from the same village. When Si Ran was a child, he was always dirty. Even so, many people in the village liked to play with him.
Si Ran's parents didn't love her and thought that she would drop out of school to work as soon as she finished elementary school. Si Ran's parents also thought so, but Si Ran walked more than 50 kilometers of mountain roads and reported her parents to the Education Bureau and the Women's Federation.
During the compulsory education period in junior high school, Si Ran had to go to school, and his parents had no choice but to send him there, but during this period, Si Ran was inevitably beaten and scolded.
She still remembered the most serious incident was when Si Ran was about to graduate from junior high school. At that time, they were in the same class. The teachers and classmates in junior high school liked Si Ran very much. They liked her so much that all the expenses for the high school entrance examination were paid for by the teachers in the class.
She was thinking at the time, what's the point for a rural girl to get into high school? For a family like Si Ran's, she would definitely get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
But Si Ran was unwilling. When she was fifteen years old, she was admitted to the best high school in the province, but the tuition fee was a problem, so Si's parents arranged a marriage for her.
Wu You had seen Si Ran rebel against Si's parents countless times, but this time was the most memorable for her.
Fifteen-year-old Si Ran was like a mad little beast, holding a sickle and wanting to kill Si's parents and the man's family. At that time, Si Ran was not as tall as she is today. Her resistance was useless, and she even ended up in the hospital, alarming the police.
Two months later, Si Ran left the isolated village as he wished, with injuries all over his body, and went to study in the city 300 kilometers away.
There has been no news since then.
Wu You was filled with jealousy.
Si Ran is so poor, why is she living better than me?
Thinking about herself, after graduating from junior high school, she sold clothes in the town for three years. Later, she got married and divorced. She finally moved here and finally had a place here because of her appearance.
But when she looked back, the person who everyone thought would have a tragic ending was now dressed gorgeously and could freely enter and exit high-end restaurants to eat. The thought made her feel uncomfortable.
Wu You talked to himself, not noticing Si Ran's increasingly cold eyes and Pei Yu's murderous gaze.
At this time, the colleague who had just gone out came back, with a restaurant manager in his forties standing next to him.
When the manager saw Pei Yu's expression, his face turned pale instantly and he stammered, "Pei...Mr. Pei."
Pei Yu's dark eyes were covered with a layer of frost.
His eyes were cold, and his tone was indistinguishable from emotion: "Is this how restaurant waiters are trained?"
The manager quickly lowered his head, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.
He glanced at Wu You viciously, grabbed her arm and said, "I asked you to serve the food, why are you disturbing the customers? Why don't you apologize now!"
Pei Yu is a frequent customer of the Western restaurant, and most importantly, he is a friend of his boss.
Today, in order to wait for the young lady in front of him, Young Master Pei arrived two hours early. He was so nervous that he went to the bathroom countless times.
He had never seen Young Master Pei so nervous!
If I mess up today, all the waiters in the restaurant and I will lose our jobs!
Wu You was frightened by the manager's eyes. The corners of her mouth trembled and she looked at Si Ran blankly, wanting Si Ran to speak for her.
However, Si Ran acted as if he didn't see it. He ate the steak on the plate calmly and leisurely without even looking at him.
Wu You started to panic.
At the same time, she was still a little angry.
Si Ran is just a poor guy from the countryside, even abandoned by his parents. He just came to the city a few years earlier than her and is more familiar with the city than her. I don’t know what there is to be proud of!
"Si Ran, please explain to our manager quickly, we know each other!"
Wu You reached out and grabbed Si Ran's arm and shook it, and the knife and fork in Si Ran's hand made a sharp and harsh sound as they scratched the porcelain plate.
Wu You paused, and the box suddenly fell silent.
Pei Yu crossed his long legs and rested one arm on the chair behind him. Just like Wu You looked at him just now, Pei Yu's eyes were more straightforward.
Wu You felt as if Pei Yu had poked holes in his body one after another, and he felt ashamed.
Finally, Pei Yu spoke up: "Fire this waitress immediately. Also, ask her to apologize to my friend."
Wu You's eyes widened immediately when he heard this.
"Fire me?" Wu You was shocked. She had just said a few words to Si Ran, but the man wanted to fire her. Why?
"Stop jumping around like a grasshopper and annoying me. Apologize and leave now." Pei Yu was too lazy to talk to her and threatened, "There are surveillance cameras in the box anyway. If you don't apologize, I'll call the police."
Pei Yu took out his cell phone and dialed 110.
Wu You's head couldn't move.
She looked at Si Ran with anxious eyes, asking for help: "Si Ran, did your friend misunderstand something? I was just so surprised to see you that I wanted to talk to you!"
Si Ran glanced at Wu You.
It took her a long time to remember the name of the person in front of her. After not seeing her for a few years, Wu You had indeed changed a lot after putting on makeup. It took her a long time to remember this person.
But she didn't have a good impression of Wu Youke.
Si Ran asked calmly, "Didn't you say my friend is my financial backer? If there's any misunderstanding, just go to the police station and tell them."
Wu You was stunned.
The manager standing by was even more stunned.
"Wu You, do you have any brains? Miss Si is not only a big star, she also works at the zoo. Mr. Pei is good friends with Miss Si, yet you spread obscene rumors about her. You really are..."
The manager was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He took a deep breath and said, "Apologize immediately and get out of here."
I don't know how they recruited such a brainless waiter.
Fortunately, this western restaurant is opened by Master Pei’s best friend. If it were someone else, it would have closed down in half an hour!
The manager looked at Wu You as if she were a jinx, wishing he could kick her out right now.
