"Well said!" someone suddenly shouted and clapped during the tense moment.
This cheer broke the tense atmosphere in the store and eased everyone's emotions a little.
Because of the sudden sound, Song Lili and Luo Juan's attention was also drawn to it.
Looking over, she saw an elderly man in his fifties staring intently at Song Lili, making her frown involuntarily.
Who is this person?
The old man, however, seemed oblivious to the changes around him, and continued clapping, saying, "That's so well said, it really hits the nail on the head."
"Who are you?" Song Lili asked, composed herself and somewhat puzzled.
"I'm just an ordinary old man. I heard the hot pot here is good and delicious, so I came to try it. I never expected to hear your comments. It really surprised me."
“You’re right. These days, students think too highly of themselves and are easily taken advantage of,” the old man said, shaking his head as if he were beyond redemption.
"Who are you? What's it to you? Mind your own business," Luo Juan said in a very unpleasant tone.
She felt embarrassed and ashamed by Song Lili's words, which made her feel resentful and unwilling.
Unexpectedly, this old man also came out to join in the fun; no wonder I couldn't give him a friendly look.
"Luo Juan, this is a customer of our shop. Please speak to her more politely." Song Lili stared at Luo Juan, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Still so out of touch with reality.
"What can you do about it if I'm not polite? It's an honor for your restaurant that I can eat here, don't push your luck." Luo Juan was even more furious, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
"Then our shop really doesn't need your honor. It's our blessing that you don't come," Song Lili said disdainfully. Does she really think she's royalty?
“You…” Luo Juan pointed at Song Lili, speechless. After a while, she said angrily, “You…you’re not the owner here, you don’t have the final say.”
At this moment, Qiao Lin, who had been watching from the beginning to the end and was feeling both excited and furious, said quietly, "She is our boss."
Therefore, Song Lili has the final say.
"What did you say?" Whether she didn't hear clearly or couldn't believe it, Luo Juan asked again.
Qiao Lin looked at Luo Juan with a hint of schadenfreude. "I said, she's the owner of this hot pot restaurant, so she's in charge. It's our good fortune that you didn't come."
He relayed what Song Lili had just said to Luo Juan.
"You mean Song Lili is the owner here?" Luo Juan asked incredulously.
Qiao Lin nodded seriously, "Yes, she is the boss."
To see Luo Juan's interesting reactions, Qiao Lin unusually cooperated, answering every question she asked.
"Impossible, this is impossible, you're lying. How can she be sure she's the owner here? I don't believe it. I don't believe it."
This time, Luo Juan was truly provoked. She stared at Song Lili with bloodshot eyes, shouting, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
"Everyone here can testify that she is our boss, and she is our boss." Qiao Lin was in a good mood.
He had been feeling unhappy since earlier, but he had been holding it in because Song Lili was there.
Later, after hearing Song Lili criticize Luo Juan, I calmed down a little. I didn't expect that this person still didn't know how to restrain herself.
So he seized the opportunity. He was determined to make this person pay.
Seeing Luo Juan's distorted and ferocious face, I finally felt refreshed.
So you look down on us? Everyone here is better than you, okay?
He, Qiao Lin, is also protective of his own, you know?
Hmph, do you really think you're so great just because you're a college student? Are there so few college students? Sorry, we have dozens in our store.
Thinking it over, Qiao Lin looked at Luo Juan smugly and said, "So, college student, please leave our store. You are not welcome."
Qiao Lin finally understood that Song Lili didn't like this woman, which was why he dared to do this.
"You... Hmph, I don't even care." Luo Juan's face turned ashen with anger. She pointed at Qiao Lin, but she had no strong words to shut him up, so she could only twist her anger in frustration.
"Then why did I just hear someone say that our hot pot is pretty good? Did I hear wrong?" Song Lili suddenly interjected.
“You…” Luo Juan’s face turned bluish-purple, and the humiliated expression on her face made Song Lili feel very happy.
That's right, bad guys should end up like this.
The old man was quite endearing, nodding earnestly beside him, "Yes, I heard it just now."
Song Lili was amused and said, "You have really good hearing."
Haha, isn't that awesome?
"Song Lili, don't go too far!" Luo Juan felt she had lost all face and dignity today, so she could only yell at Song Lili.
"Am I being unreasonable?" Song Lili shrugged. "I don't think I'm being unreasonable at all. I even think it's too lenient."
"You..." Luo Juan was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
"Luo Juan, that's enough, let's go." The man who came with Luo Juan quickly stopped her and whispered his advice.
"Leave? Why should I leave? It's Song Lili's fault, why should I leave?" Luo Juan roared.
She had indeed wanted to escape just now, but after someone said it out loud, she suddenly felt rebellious. Why should she leave?
Is this Song Lili's shop? Okay, then she'll make sure her business goes out of business today.
"Wang Li, your wife is being bullied like this, and you just stand by and watch, right?" Helpless, since no one else could bully her, Luo Juan vented all her anger on the man.
The man, Wang Li, is Luo Juan's husband.
He looked at Song Lili with a troubled expression, and then said to Luo Juan, "But this was originally your fault."
How could he possibly cause trouble for others? That's wrong.
"What did you say? Say it again? You're saying I'm wrong? I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong at all, are you dead? Won't you help me?" Luo Juan was so angry that her words were incoherent.
"Luo Juan, look, even your husband can't stand it anymore. I advise you, don't push your luck. If I were you, I would slink away as soon as possible."
"Do you think everyone is blind? Didn't they see what you just did? Let me tell you, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Do you think you can just spout nonsense about the Eight Greats?"
However, to Song Lili's surprise, Luo Juan's husband actually had pretty sound values and didn't completely side with Luo Juan.
Then I felt a little sorry for him. He deserved someone better, and he was wrong to marry Luo Juan.
Living with someone like Luo Juan must be very difficult, right?
But what does this have to do with her? As long as Luo Juan doesn't provoke her, she can pretend that this person doesn't exist or that she's never seen this person before.
But was Luo Juan willing to accept this? Song Lili had a big question mark in her mind.
Luo Juan will not give up.
