"But my hand is broken. Which is more important, my bones or your broken table?" Millie didn't know how to describe her feelings. A feeling of powerlessness filled her heart.
The flight attendant looked at Millie with disdain. "If your injury was caused by a problem with our facilities, then the responsibility would definitely be ours. But now you've reached out and damaged our public property, so the responsibility is of course yours!"
"No need to say anything. Just pay the price. This table is integrated with the carriage. If you replace the table top, you have to replace the folding leaf underneath as well. The total is 9,800 yuan!" The flight attendant was very skilled in his job and easily quoted the price without looking up any information.
"What? You want me to pay so much money for such a broken table? Are you crazy?" Millie not only felt pain in her hand, but also felt heartbroken and angry.
Immediately, a kind passenger patiently explained to Millie, "Didn't the attendant just say that this table is integrated into the carriage? You're not just going to have to compensate for the tabletop. If you want to replace it, the entire equipment needs to be replaced. Isn't that the price?"
"You think it's too expensive now, but why didn't you think so much when you were itching to do it?"
Voices of condemnation rang out. Seeing that she was getting nowhere, the aggrieved Millie had no choice but to leave with the flight attendant, her hands clasped.
Su Nian watched Millie leave with a smile as if nothing had happened, and occasionally chatted with the passengers next to her, commenting on how this person's moral quality was so low.
It took a full half day for Millie to come back. Even though she had always lived a wealthy life, she still had to pay a fine after being wronged. Her mood was beyond description.
Millie's hand was bandaged. She sat down with a sullen face and said nothing. The passengers around her seemed to have forgotten that she was the protagonist of the drama just now. They talked among themselves and prepared to start eating lunch.
"Su Nian, it was you who caused trouble just now, right?"
Millie had an injured hand and her attitude was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Haha," Su Nian laughed with an ambiguous meaning and called the food truck, "Give me a bowl of fish-flavored shredded pork rice!"
"Fifteen yuan," the flight attendant took out a box lunch and placed it on the small table in front of Su Nian.
The aroma of hot food stimulated Millie's taste buds, and she suddenly realized that she was hungry too.
Millie also ordered a meal, and the two women sat facing each other and ate, glaring at each other from time to time.
Millie has been teaching at Quzhou Medical College for many years. Chu Beichen left Quzhou soon. Millie went to Beijing to pester him several times, but was rejected every time.
This made Millie feel very depressed despite having no worries about food and clothing, which was also one of the important reasons why Millie looked so old.
She never expected to meet Su Nian again, and the other party didn't seem to be in a bad state. This made Millie jealous to the point of going crazy, not to mention that Millie suffered a great loss in the quarrel between the two just now.
While eating, Millie was thinking about how she should plot against Su Nian, and it would be best if she could never get over it.
As she was thinking this, her stomach suddenly growled. The sound was so loud that all the passengers sitting in the compartment could hear it.
Millie realized something was wrong and her face suddenly turned red. This was the case when you were out and about. Stomach discomfort was bound to cause embarrassment. She was about to cough to cover up her discomfort.
This was followed by a louder noise, which quickly helped people locate the position accurately, and everyone looked at Millie with strange eyes.
