Chapter 572 Xiao San's Jokes and Dilemmas
"Tsk, Manager Wan is interested in my second sister?"
These words suddenly reached Wan Qiqi's ears, accompanied by a chill that made her involuntarily shrink her neck.
Turning my head, I saw a smiling face.
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent shapes, making her smile even more radiant.
Sensing danger, Wan Qiqi took a step back. Once she felt she was out of danger, she said seriously, "Young Master Xiao, what brings you here today?"
Xiao Huai frowned, seemingly displeased. "Answer my question, don't change the subject."
His words were cold and commanding, and he leaned forward, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Wan Qiqi leaned back, not wanting to get too close to Xiao Huai, and only stopped when she knew she couldn't lean back any further.
Xiao Huai continued to lean forward until the other person's breath was on his face, then he stopped, grinned, and said, "Tell me, are you interested in my second sister?"
Wan Qiqi stared directly at Xiao Huai without answering.
After a long pause, Wan Qiqi suddenly smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao, you're standing so close to me. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're interested in me. Isn't it inappropriate for you to be so close to a married woman?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Qiqi took two steps back to keep her distance from Xiao Huai, and gestured for him to come inside, "Young Master Xiao, please come in."
Xiao Huai straightened up and tilted his head to look at Wan Qiqi.
His entourage suddenly pushed the guests out of the door and blocked the entrance to the restaurant, making it seem as if they were not allowed to enter or leave.
A flash of malice crossed Wan Qiqi's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by a smile. "Young Master Xiao, what is the meaning of this?"
“I don’t like disobedient women. Usually, those who don’t answer me will never speak.” Xiao Huai said, flicking his folding fan as he stood at the doorway, looking relaxed.
Wan Qiqi lowered her eyes, clenched her teeth, and thought to herself: What serious illness do you have? You won't be satisfied until I answer.
The waiters inside the restaurant saw the commotion at the door and came over to investigate.
Erpang looked at the two people facing off at the door, feeling extremely anxious. He wondered what to do. Why were Sister Qi and Xiao Huai confronting each other?
After thinking it over, he decided to send someone to the Zhu family to find Manager Zhu, who was sure he could find a way to resolve the matter.
Wan Qiqi glanced at the departing Erpang, her smile still lingering on her lips, and said, "Yes, I am interested in all the distinguished guests who patronize the restaurant."
Her answer was impeccable and is a common tactic used by business people.
Xiao Huai coldly blocked Wan Qiqi's way, his face devoid of a smile, making him appear somewhat frightening.
Then, he grinned and said slowly, "Tsk, you're not being honest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the attendants blocking the doorway dispersed.
Xiao Huai strolled inside.
Wan Qiqi stared at Xiao Huai's back for a while and found that this person was really unpredictable; it was hard to guess what he would do next.
But it was clear that this person had their eye on him.
Wan Qiqi recalled that, apart from the time she snatched the treasure from Jinshizhai, she seemed to have no grudges against Xiao Huai and had no further contact with him.
Furthermore, during the incident at Jinshizhai, Xiao Huai did not inquire about her identity but directly addressed her as Manager Wan, proving that she already knew about him and might have even met him before.
She never expected that one of the owners of her small restaurant would attract the attention of the young master of the Xiao family.
At this moment, Wan Qiqi also clearly understood one thing: she would not be able to avoid Xiao Huai in the future, and he might provoke her from time to time out of boredom.
With her current strength, she has no ability to resist.
If the Xiao family wanted to kill her or destroy Xinglong Restaurant, it would be as easy as crushing a grasshopper.
Wan Qiqi knew perfectly well that she had to find a way to change this situation.
Now, the only option is to keep Xiao Huai calm and see what he's up to.
Wan Qiqi followed Xiao Huai into the restaurant.
The commotion at the entrance attracted the attention of many people. After seeing who it was, the guests lowered their heads, not daring to ask questions or discuss, for fear of being targeted by Xiao Huai and getting into trouble.
Zhu Youcai stood behind the counter, gasped, and didn't know what to do.
He stretched his leg, wanting to go out and help, but he couldn't move his other leg for a long time, and even his hands, which were manipulating the abacus, were trembling slightly.
Wan Qiqi followed behind Xiao Huai, glanced at the shopkeeper who was asking questions, and then fixed her gaze on Erpang, who was returning from the backyard.
She gestured to the other person not to worry about it and continued to attend to other guests.
Erpang stood still, hesitated for a long time, and finally, as Wan Qiqi had instructed, told his men to continue working.
Wan Qiqi walked to Xiao Huai's side and smiled, "Young Master Xiao, are you planning to tell me some news?"
Xiao Huai turned his head, glanced at her sideways, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "Do you want to know?"
"I want to." Wan Qiqi answered directly this time without beating around the bush, lest this Young Master Xiao go crazy and attack the guests in the restaurant.
Xiao Huai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "But I don't want to tell you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his smile grew even brighter. He strolled upstairs, not caring whether anyone was following him to greet him.
Wan Qiqi turned her face away and rolled her eyes.
This person is really something else. One minute they're forcing themselves to admit they want to know, and the next minute they're telling her they don't want to talk about it anymore!
This person is really sick, seriously sick, and needs to be locked up in a mental hospital!
After a brief exchange of complaints, Wan Qiqi followed Xiao Huai up to the third floor.
Xiao Huai stopped at the door of the private room on the third floor, turned to look at Wan Qiqi, seemingly waiting for her to open the door for him.
Wan Qiqi: "..."
She went to the private room where Xiao Huai usually rested, pushed open the door, and gestured to Xiao Huai in invitation.
