The salesperson turned around when he heard the voice, with a hint of annoyance on his face. Seeing Xia Youyou was obviously stunned, a hint of disgust appeared on his annoyed face.
As she turned around, Xia Youyou saw a face she seemed to have seen before. Her brows, which had been slightly furrowed, twisted even more, as if she was wondering who this person was.
"Where did you take my brother?"
The woman's question interrupted Xia Youyou's thoughts, and she just remembered.
"Xiao?" Xia Youyou was stuck, as if she didn't know her name yet.
"Are you Brother Xiao Hai's sister?"
This person was Xiao Meili, whom she had met twice.
After her brother disowned her, she idled for a while. Her mother tried to find her a date, but they broke up with each other because their personalities weren't compatible. Finally, her mother blamed her lack of a good job and arranged for her to work part-time at a state-owned restaurant.
She has been working for more than a month. After the initial novelty wore off, she felt a little tired. She just muddled through the days and when she wanted to be lazy she would go to the toilet and stay there for half an hour. As a result, she was ostracized by her colleagues.
Knowing that his brother went to Hua University with Brother Qi, and that Brother Qi was already married to the woman in front of him, he felt even more jealous when he saw her wearing a long skirt, small leather shoes, and the recently popular headband on her head. "Yes!"
Xia Youyou didn't think much about it and automatically ignored her first sentence. "Please make me three cups of strong tea."
"I'm asking you, where is my brother?" Xiao Meili couldn't help but ask loudly when she heard that she was still asked to do something.
The people in the hall were silenced by her shout, and all looked in their direction. After they saw the girl in the dress with a pure and outstanding appearance, the hall began to buzz again.
Xia Youyou glanced at the lobby, then at the woman in front of her, "Brother Xiao Hai is a very good person, and he is an outstanding student in school. Now please make me three cups of strong tea, with plenty of tea leaves, and send them to the box over there." She pointed in a direction, and after saying that, she didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and was about to leave.
Xiao Meili reached out to grab her.
Xia Youyou noticed it and her expression turned cold. She avoided her hand and hid to the side.
"what are you up to?"
"Is my brother in there too?" Xiao Meili knew someone was in there when she saw her asking for three cups of tea. Besides her, there was also Brother Qi. Her brother always ran with Brother Qi, so her brother must be in there too.
"No, Brother Xiao Hai is at school." Xia Youyou was impatient to argue with her, and her face showed irritability.
"Impossible." Xiao Meili didn't believe it and walked past her and went straight to the box.
Everyone in the lobby saw the commotion, and naturally it also caught the attention of the waiter who was serving the dishes. Seeing this, the two waiters who had just been chatting hurried to the back to find the manager.
Xia Youyou was almost bumped by her and quickly dodged to the side, slowly following behind. Xiao Hai's sister seemed to have some mental problems and couldn't understand what people were saying. In such a large state-owned restaurant, with so many people coming in and out, could she hide a living person?
Qi Siling calculated the time. Five minutes had passed and Xia Youyou showed no sign of coming in, so he stood up and went out to check.
But just as he reached the door, the box door was pushed open unexpectedly.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise he might have been hit on the head.
He looked at the person at the door, and a hint of doubt flashed across his expressionless face. He caught a glimpse of Xiao Meili behind him, then looked at Xia Youyou.
Xiao Meili opened the door angrily, and was about to rush in when she was blocked by someone.
She raised her head and looked at the person clearly, then she stiffly put away the ferocious look on her face.
"Brother Qi."
The sweet "Brother Qi" startled Xia Youyou, who was following behind. She shook off the goose bumps on her body and glared at the man who was looking at her.
Qi Siling's scalp tingled. He avoided Xiao Meili who was about to pounce on him, turned sideways not daring to touch a single hair of hers, and walked around towards Xia Youyou.
"Where have you been?" he said in a soft, flattering voice, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Could he be blamed for this? A mouth is a part of a person's body, and you can't sew it shut.
"I wanted to find someone to make three cups of strong tea, but I didn't expect to meet her." Xia Youyou said indifferently, her eyes still searching for other sales clerks.
"Brother Qi, where is my brother?"
The sweet voice sounded again, and Qi Siling frowned and glared at him, "Your brother is at school. Also, I'm not your brother, please call me Comrade Qi."
"Brother Qi, how can you say that? After all, we grew up together. My grandfather and your grandfather have been friends for many years. I often sent you gifts in the past few years!"
"It was your grandfather and Xiao Hai who sent me the gifts. What does it have to do with you?" Qi Siling really admired her intelligence. The words she said were ambiguous. Did she follow Xiao Hai to deliver gifts home?
"Brother Qi, I didn't..."
Qi Siling waved her hand to interrupt her, "Okay, aren't you looking for your brother? He's not here, you should leave quickly."
The three of them were talking at the door of the private room, which startled Cao An inside. He apologized to Director Hou and Huang Run and said, "You guys eat first. I'll go see what's going on."
After the two nodded, he stood up, walked around the screen, and saw this scene.
"What are you doing?" He blocked the door tightly with his burly body, and looked directly at Xiao Meili with a fierce look.
Xiao Meili was feeling a little aggrieved at being interrupted by Qi Siling, but the voice behind him made him turn around.
Cao An frowned as he looked at the frightened woman. This was...
Xiao Hai's sister.
"Why are you here?" He frowned, turned around and closed the door of the box, then looked at Xia Youyou, "Are you okay?" Will you be bullied by this woman?
Xia Youyou didn't know what he was thinking, so she just shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just came out to find someone to make tea."
Cao An glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "Do you need to come out to make tea?" Then he glared at the man next to him.
Qi Siling: ...
He thought the little girl was going to the toilet.
The three of them were arguing with each other, and Xiao Meili next to them was completely ignored.
She remembered the man who glared at her on the train and was mistaken for a human trafficker.
Seeing the man's fierce gaze fall on her again, she involuntarily took two steps back and stammered, "I came to find my brother."
Cao An frowned, "Your brother didn't come out today, he's at school."
Xiao Meili was shocked and nodded timidly, "Okay."
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Meili shook her head like a rattle. She was actually a little afraid of this man.
"When you're done, make us some tea." Cao An pushed Xia Youyou's shoulder and let her go in first.
Xiao Meili was about to say something when they heard hurried footsteps behind them, accompanied by grunting breathing. Several people couldn't help but look back.
"What's going on?"
The man who came was the manager of a state-owned restaurant. When he was called in, he thought something serious had happened. In his heart, he angrily scolded his friend, saying that he could sell his job to such a little ancestor when there were so many people to sell to. He was not only not pretty, but also not good at work!
