Chapter 198 Let Go
"Damn it! Don't you have eyes?! You bumped into me! Apologize to me now!" the man cursed, behaving like a drunkard.
The waitress pushing the cart was terrified. The man reeked of alcohol, and she had already tried to avoid him, but she never expected him to bump into her!
"I didn't mean to."
"What do you mean? Are you blaming me for deliberately hitting you?" the man said fiercely.
"What are you yelling about? You spilled wine on someone!" Cui Yuyue blocked the man's way. The man stared at her, his eyes practically popping out of his head. These girls were all so beautiful.
Xu Songning grabbed a tissue and wiped the remaining alcohol off her body. The alcohol had run down her calves and into her shoes, leaving her feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
"What does this have to do with me? If she hadn't bumped into me, would I have spilled the wine? Don't go, pay me back for the wine!" The man reached out and grabbed the waiter's arm.
Xu Songning grabbed the man, pointing to her stained dress, "You spilled the wine, why are you taking it out on her? Since you want her to pay for it, then I'll make you pay for it too!"
"She hit me!" the man insisted, making no mention of his own fault.
"Tell me, who hit you?" Xu Songning shielded the waitress behind him.
The waiter stammered, "It was...he wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into...bumped into my car."
"you--"
“Sir, there are security cameras here. I can compensate you for the alcohol, but if you continue to cause trouble, how about we meet at the police station?” Xu Songning pointed to the dimly lit equipment above his head.
Actually, it wasn't surveillance footage. If a man looked at it a few more times, he would have noticed something amiss.
However, the man was indeed feeling guilty, and besides, he had already achieved his goal and was too lazy to get entangled with others anymore; he was going to collect the remaining payment.
"Tch! Then don't come looking for me to pay for your skirt! If you want to, go find her! It's none of my business." The man broke free from her grasp, swung his arm, and walked away.
Lin Yao was still waiting for him when she saw the man stagger back. Satisfied, she handed him another thousand yuan. "Not bad, please leave now. We don't need you here anymore."
"Alright! My little princess." The man kissed the coins, laughed, and walked out.
Lin Yao watched the situation and messaged Cheng Ou, "Brother Cheng, it's your turn. She'll go to the restroom, so wait for her at the entrance; there are fewer people there."
"Sister-in-law, are you alright? Do you want to go wash up?" Cui Yuyue squatted down and used tissues to help wipe the liquid off her skirt.
I don't know what the bartender put in it, but there was something like jelly stuck to my dress, and I had to wipe it off carefully.
Xu Songning moved his shoes. His socks were wet, and now his feet were sticking to his socks, which were also sticking to his shoes, making him very uncomfortable.
"Sit here first. Ignore anyone who tries to talk to you. I'll go take care of my skirt." Xu Songning frowned as she wiped her skirt. Not many parts of the skirt were wet, but her legs were covered in wine and didn't look clean at all.
"I'll go with you!" Cui Yuyue immediately stood up; protecting her sister-in-law was her responsibility!
"No need. If you leave, do you still want this food?" Xu Songning pressed her down to sit, patted her shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay, you sit here and eat, I'll be right back."
Cui Yuyue watched Xu Songning leave with bated breath. She looked at the food on the table but had no appetite. She took out her phone to take pictures as a memento.
I received a message from my brother right after posting the photo.
Xiang Yun: Where is he?
Cui Yuyue glanced around furtively. She and her sister-in-law had sneaked out, so they shouldn't have been discovered, right?
Cui Yuyue: I study at home
Xiang Yun: Heh. Has Lin Yao been acting strangely lately?
When Cui Yuyue received this message, a question mark appeared above her head. Her brother wasn't interested in Lin Yao, so why was he suddenly asking about Lin Yao?
She thought about it carefully and realized that Lin Yao had indeed been acting strangely lately. Not only had he become much more diligent, but he also often helped her with her documents. He had also corrected his bad habit of being late or leaving early. Today, he even left work later than her and asked her if she had anything planned for tonight.
Cui Yuyue pressed the talk button and explained everything clearly. Although she didn't know what her brother wanted to do, she still told him the truth when he asked.
After saying this, she intended to convert it to text, but she accidentally released her finger and sent the voice message instead.
"I'm going to die! We're going to be discovered!"
Just as Cui Yuyue was frantically trying to back out, Xiang Yun sent her a message.
Keep an eye on Lin Yao, don't let her get away.
What? ?
Cui Yuyue stared silently at the strange message. Her brother didn't ask her where she was or why she was asking Lin Yao. He just told her to keep an eye on Lin Yao.
She looked around, and within her sight, there was neither Lin Yao nor her brother, only Xu Songning's back as she walked towards the restroom.
Xu Songning stumbled towards the toilet, her feet sinking deep into the water. She dared not tread too heavily on her wet leg, as the insole was soaked with alcohol and felt like a sponge. Every time she stepped on it, wet water would gush out.
"Song Ning!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, made Xu Songning's mind explode. What was Cheng Ou doing here again?! She was like a persistent ghost!
Xu Songning had no intention of acknowledging him and hurried forward, but someone grabbed her arm.
"Songning! Why are you still avoiding me?" Cheng Ou's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved. He gripped Xu Songning's arm tightly, not letting her leave.
"Let go!" Xu Songning struggled.
Cheng Ou looked hurt. "I won't let go! If I let go, you'll leave me again!"
He didn't know how good Xu Songning was before. None of the girlfriends he dated afterward were as obedient as Xu Songning. They always wanted him to be with them and were too clingy. They always hoped to take away his attention, but he had so many things to do, so why would he want to stay?
Besides flying, he also had to spend a lot of energy on his girlfriend, which annoyed him. He missed Xu Songning, who gave him enough personal space at that time.
When he heard that Xu Songning and Xiang Yun might be living together, he was incredibly jealous. He and Xu Songning had never been this close before, so why could this man be different?!
Cheng Ou practically begged her, "Songning, I was confused when I met my parents. I didn't consider you. I've thought it through this time. I'll always put you first and never force you to quit your job again, okay?"
"This is not good at all, Cheng Ou. I'll say it again, I have a boyfriend! Wasn't that your girlfriend before too? Is this appropriate? How can you do this to her?" Xu Songning retorted, almost shocked by his idiotic remarks.
Upon hearing her mention Liu Tingting, Cheng Ou felt a pang of pain in her heart and grabbed her wrist. "Let me explain! She's just a blind date arranged by my mother. We haven't even started dating yet!"
"Then you have even less to do with me, let go!" Xu Songning felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and just wanted to shake his hand off.
"I won't let go! Songning, I really miss you. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?" Cheng Ou pleaded.
