"Do you know what it takes to be a good wife to an entrepreneur? How much can you really help him? With your shabby family background that's commonplace, don't you feel ashamed standing next to him?"
Xu Xinchen endured it again and again, but Li Xueyan kept bringing up her family background, and she really couldn't take it anymore. If everything depends on family background, then why should people be independent?
She mimicked Li Xueyan's earlier actions, slammed her hand on the table, and said fiercely to Li Xueyan, "Miss Li, if you came to me today just to talk about these nonsensical things, then I'm afraid I won't keep you company."
Seeing Xu Xinchen's state, Li Xueyan thought she had caught Xu Xinchen red-handed, believing that Xu Xinchen had been touched on her most sensitive spot, which was why she was so angry.
She immediately raised her voice: "Lu Minshi, think it through. With your family background, no matter how much Chen Ningsheng likes you, his parents will never agree to you two being together. You might as well take the money I'm giving you now and find a place to live properly, so you don't end up losing both your money and your love."
As she spoke, Li Xueyan looked Xu Xingchen up and down with a strange expression, her tone full of sarcasm: "You should know that people like Chen Ningsheng's parents are not as easy to talk to as I am. Don't come crying to me when you're being looked down upon."
Xu Xinchen had had enough of people like Li Xueyan who liked to talk to themselves, and she didn't want to stay there any longer and listen to Li Xueyan's nonsense.
Xu Xinchen stood up angrily, strode to the cashier, and peered at the person sitting behind her.
The person looking this way said, "Could you help me calculate the price of the dishes I just ordered, and then pack those things up for me?"
The man nodded repeatedly, sighed, took out a calculator, quickly pressed the numbers written on a piece of white paper, and then announced a price: "It's 13 yuan in total."
"13 yuan," Xu Xinchen nodded, taking out a wallet from her pocket. She had just received a reward from the police station a couple of days ago, and the entire reward was now in her hands. That's why she dared to order those dishes that seemed relatively expensive in this era.
It's a pity that we didn't even get to eat a single fresh bite before having to carry them around. You know, if these dishes aren't eaten immediately after they're served, the longer they're left, the more the flavor changes, and they're never as delicious as when they're fresh.
"If only Lin Bingchun had come with me today," Xu Xinchen thought to herself. After paying the bill, she simply stood by the bar.
Instead of returning to her original spot, she stared blankly at the ground, waiting for the dishes to be cooked and packed so she could take them back.
Li Xueyan, having waited in vain for Xu Xinchen to come to her, couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and walked to Xu Xinchen's side: "Lu Minshi, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Xu Xinchen didn't even look up and coldly replied, "What does it have to do with me? If you haven't finished speaking, go home and finish your own business."
"How can you be so rude? Listening to others finish speaking is the most basic etiquette, don't you know that?" Li Xueyan was very angry, her hand trembling as she pointed at Xu Xinchen.
The man sitting behind the bar, who didn't look very old, chuckled: "Miss, since you came in..."
She's been talking to herself the whole time she got into the store, so loudly that the whole store could hear her. And now she has the nerve to say she's rude? I think you're the rudest one here!
As soon as the man said that, Xu Xinchen immediately applauded him: "You're right. You've been talking to yourself ever since you came in. You won't listen to anything I say. And now you have the nerve to say I'm rude? Who's the rude one here?"
Li Xueyan was furious, her whole body trembling. She pointed at the person sitting behind the bar: "What's your relationship with this woman? Do you two know each other? Why are you helping her like this?"
“I don’t know this lady, but that doesn’t stop me from using my eyes to see who’s the problem between you two.” The man shrugged.
"You come into our store and start complaining about everything, even though our boss is right here. When you say these things, do you not consider our boss's feelings at all? Is this what you call being polite?"
The man's tone was extremely disdainful: "If you ask me, if you're going to steal a man, just steal him. Why are you always bringing up other people's family situations? Just because you have money doesn't mean you're so great. Even if you have money, other men still don't like you. Shouldn't you reflect on your own behavior?"
Xu Xinchen never expected this young man to speak up for her like this, and for a moment she couldn't help but laugh loudly: "My God, you've said exactly what I was thinking, thank you so much."
The man waved back calmly: "No need to be polite with me. I just couldn't stand this woman's bossy attitude as soon as she came into the store. I heard her complaining about our store."
Li Xueyan was so angry that her face was almost contorted. She tremblingly pointed her finger and said, "You two, are you bullying me because you outnumber me?"
Just then, the kitchen curtain was suddenly lifted, and the proprietress who had been writing down the menu next to them came out. She waved the spoon in her hand and said to Li Xueyan, "Now it's not just the two of them, it's me too. You're not welcome in our shop. Get out of here right now."
Suddenly, she was facing three people instead of just one, and two of them were very eloquent. Even if Li Xueyan had ten mouths, she wouldn't be able to out-argue them.
She stomped her foot angrily: "You think I want to come to this shabby shop? It's all because of her. If she hadn't insisted on coming here, I wouldn't have even given a second glance to this shabby shop."
The proprietress mimicked Li Xueyan's earlier manner, looking at her with disdain: "If you don't care about coming, then what are you doing standing here? I saw you walk out just now, why did you come back? Did you come back specifically to steal a man from that young girl?"
"That's exactly how I see it. I've never seen anyone like this before. They come in looking incredibly powerful, like they have their eyes on the top of their heads."
