Qian Moli returned home, had a quick dinner, and then left for the restaurant. After her brother woke up, her parents' attitude towards her became much better than before. Although the gap between them couldn't be bridged overnight, she was already very content with the current situation.
The capital city is still bustling at night, with a constant stream of cars and people on the streets.
Qian Moli arrived at the restaurant and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the mountain of dishes already piled in the sink, she smiled slightly and walked forward to start her busy work. Although washing dishes didn't make much money, it was enough for her tuition and the food money for her family.
"Xiao Qian, go to the front and help serve the dishes. We'll wash these bowls later," the restaurant manager said, approaching Qian Moli. They had just received a large order for over a dozen tables for a birthday celebration tonight. They were shorthanded, so they had to ask Qian Moli to come along and help.
"Okay." Qian Moli wiped her hands and walked out. Sometimes when the restaurant was too busy, she would go out to help out. The manager would also give her an extra five yuan for this.
Su Jinyue walked into the courtyard and saw the brand new house. A surprised smile appeared on her face, "It looks so beautiful!" It looked even better than she had expected.
"As long as you like it, it's worth it for my brother and I to be busy all day." Su Yanxi ruffled Su Jinyue's hair with a doting look on his face. He and his brother both wanted to give her the best.
"Since we've moved to a new house, let's celebrate tonight. I'll go cook." Su Jinyue smiled playfully at Su Yanxi and walked towards the kitchen.
Su Yanxi reached out and held Su Jinyue's hand, smiling awkwardly, "My brother and I seem to have forgotten to buy rice and vegetables." They put all their thoughts on the house and completely forgot about eating.
"Let's go out for dinner tonight. The store opens tomorrow, so we can celebrate together." Su Yanyue walked out of the house.
"Then where should we go to eat?" Su Jinyue asked. She only knew a few restaurants in Beijing.
"Let's go to Xinxiangyuan. The food there is pretty good and it's not far away." Su Yanxi suggested.
"Okay!" Su Jinyue and Su Yanyue nodded in agreement.
Qian Moli placed the dishes on the table and was about to leave when someone grabbed her hand. She panicked and tried to pull her hand back, but the other person's grip was too tight, and she couldn't pull it back at all. "What are you doing? Let me go!" This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She really didn't know how to deal with it.
"Don't go, pour some wine for us brothers." The man who grabbed her hand said with a lewd smile.
"How can I pour the wine if you don't let go?" Qian Moli felt aggrieved, but she knew she couldn't resist. But after this lesson, she would never come to the front to help again. Even if it meant losing her job.
The man let go of her hand with a wicked smile. Qian Moli picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the glasses of everyone present.
Putting down the bottle, Qian Moli was about to leave when the man who had held her hand spoke again, "Little sister, don't go. It's my birthday today. Come, have a drink with me."
Qian Moli bit her lip, her eyes filled with determination. "Sorry, I'm not a hostess." Then she turned and left. She knew she couldn't continue this job.
After taking just two steps, Qian Moli was blocked by someone.
She took a step back and looked at the person who stopped her. Her heart was filled with panic. What should she do?
"Little sister, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty. I'm going to make this clear today. If you drink three glasses of wine, I won't make things difficult for you. If you don't drink, it means you're not giving me face. If you don't give me face, don't blame me for being rude."
"Drink it, don't make our Brother Zhang angry. When he gets angry, it's not something a little girl like you can handle."
"It's just three glasses of wine. I just closed my eyes and drank them."
"That's right, stop being so pretentious and drink quickly." The people around started to jeer.
The restaurant director saw the commotion and came over, standing in front of Qian Moli, and apologized to Brother Zhang: "I'm sorry, big brother! She is still young and doesn't know anything. I'm the director of this restaurant. Let me drink this glass of wine for her." Qian Moli has been washing dishes in the restaurant for almost half a year. He has a good impression of this girl and doesn't want to see her being bullied.
"Get out! I just made a statement. Do you want me to lose face in front of my buddies?" Brother Zhang slammed the table and said angrily.
The guests at the surrounding tables also stood up and stared at the restaurant manager with eager eyes. They were all here to celebrate Brother Zhang's birthday today, and anyone who didn't give Brother Zhang face was not giving them face.
The hotel manager also knew that the problem was beyond his control, so he could only look at Qian Moli helplessly and said, "Xiao Qian, why don't you just drink it? I'll have someone take you back later."
"I can't drink," Qian Moli said. She was allergic to alcohol, and every time she touched alcohol cotton, she would break out in a rash. If she drank, she really didn't know what would happen to her.
"Xiao Qian, look at the situation. If you don't drink, this will be difficult today," said the restaurant manager. He would help Xiao Qian if he could, but the restaurant really couldn't afford to offend these people.
"Why are you dawdling? If you don't drink, I'm going to get mad." Brother Zhang said impatiently.
Qian Moli gritted her teeth, walked forward, and picked up the wine glass on the table. She knew that if she wanted to calm down today's situation, she had to drink these three glasses of wine. In front of these people, she didn't even have the power to resist.
He raised his hand and was about to drink the wine in the glass.
"Wait a minute!" A pleasant voice sounded.
When everyone heard this, they turned around and saw two men and one woman walking in from outside. The men were handsome and the woman was beautiful.
"Su Jinyue." Qian Moli exclaimed in surprise when she saw that the person coming was Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue walked up to Qian Moli and asked, "What happened?" She had just walked into the restaurant when she heard Brother Zhang's threatening words.
"It's okay." Qian Moli shook her head. She couldn't let Su Jinyue get involved.
Su Jinyue understood Qian Moli's thoughts and turned to look at the hotel manager beside her, "What happened?" With Moli's personality, it was impossible for her to cause trouble.
The hotel manager glanced at Brother Zhang, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"Little sister, if you want to help her, you can drink these three glasses of wine for her, otherwise none of you can leave." Brother Zhang looked at Su Jinyue with a sneer.
"Su Jinyue, please leave quickly. I will handle this matter. Don't worry about me." Qian Moli pushed Su Jinyue anxiously. She just wanted Su Jinyue to leave quickly. These people were not good people. She didn't want Su Jinyue to be bullied because of them.
