Manager Liao was speechless at Bai Lu's words. He coughed and insisted, "I'm sure, we've met before."
But I still can't remember.
Qiu Yan turned to Manager Liao with a completely different expression.
With a faint smile, she replied, her eyes and brows slightly narrowed. "You look quite familiar to me."
The girl stiffened slightly; one dared to strike up a conversation, and the other actually dared to respond.
"Could it be that this young boy and this middle-aged man have some connection?"
Qi Yuan was furious, while Qiu Yan and Manager Liao were chatting, which made her feel even more insulted.
Because of the excruciating pain in her body and limbs, she was still breathing out cold air and her face was twitching. With the help of her maid, she staggered to her feet.
As Qiu Yan finished speaking, Manager Liao nodded vigorously, "Right? I knew you looked familiar. Young master, tell me, where have we met before?"
Seeing that Qi Yuan and her servant were trying to slip away, Qiu Yan winked at Bai Lu beside her and smiled at Manager Liao, "Manager Liao, you must have a bad memory. It's Xingyue Tower, of course."
"Uh..." Manager Liao looked embarrassed. He carefully racked his brains. Although Xingyue Restaurant had many customers, not to mention the old customers, he remembered every new customer he had met once.
But for Qiu Yan...
"Even if I had seen her before, it wouldn't be at this Xingyue Tower." He hadn't seen Qiu Yan here.
At this moment, the waiter smiled and replied, "Young master, your total bill is ten taels of silver. According to the tenfold compensation, that is one hundred taels."
Manager Liao shook his head helplessly, "Your calculations are truly beyond words. They're far too slow."
Qi Yuan sneered, "Do you think you can rob someone in broad daylight?"
Bai Lu stared coldly at Qi Yuan, her palm outstretched. "One hundred taels of silver. You're not allowed to leave until you hand it over!"
Having been taught a lesson time and again today, Qi Yuan's arrogant expression was now tinged with fear.
She parted her lips and uttered two words softly.
"I have no money!"
Qiu Yan: "If you have no money, pay with your life!" Her cold voice seemed to be tempered with ice, which was really out of place with her body.
Today, she wanted to deflate the arrogance of this Northern Qi princess and see how she could still be so cocky in Shangjin.
This is Dongjin. Does the princess of Northern Qi think she can trample on the people of Dongjin and act arrogantly? Does she really think they are easy to bully?
Qiu Yan was a professional criminal; she showed no mercy to people from enemy countries, especially since these people were her rivals in love.
Calling her a love rival is giving her too much credit.
Manager Liao and the waiter froze. Seeing that a new customer had arrived on the first floor, Manager Liao said goodbye to Qiu Yan and went to greet the customer.
The girl trembled slightly. She thought that the Ice Surface Sister was already ruthless enough, but she didn't expect that her master was even more ruthless.
At that moment, with a whoosh, Bai Lu's longsword was already at Qi Yuan's neck.
With a thud, Qi Yuan fell to her knees, drenched in a cold sweat.
His maids were no better.
"I really have no money..." Qi Yuan's face was filled with panic, and all traces of her previous arrogance had vanished.
Seeing Qiu Yan's expression change, she quickly removed her hair ornaments and placed them in front of Qiu Yan.
"These, all of these are for you. Their value is far greater than one hundred taels."
...Qi Yuan left in a disheveled state, supported by her maid.
With Bai Lu's help, the waiter set up the table and quickly cleaned up the food on the ground. At the innkeeper's instruction, he served Qiu Yan another meal of the same food.
Qiu Yan sat down at the table as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the girl by the fence moved lightly and sat down opposite Qiu Yan with a smile, looking at Qiu Yan with admiration.
