176: Chapter 176 Spoiled and Willful 176: Chapter 176 Spoiled and Willful Wu Xiaoyu returned home, hopped onto his motorcycle, and sped to the Jiji restaurant in town, parking his bike casually at the entrance before rushing up to the private room on the second floor.
He pushed the door open to find Li Qianqian gnawing on a chicken leg, her eyes glued to a melodramatic TV show, utterly at ease.
Wu Xiaoyu, feeling a bit annoyed, scolded, “What’s the rush calling me over?
Or to see you chase after these cheesy dramas?”
Hearing his voice, Li Qianqian quickly turned her head, tossed away the chicken leg in her hand, and said pitifully, “I wanted to go out for a walk.
Staying here all day is suffocating me.
That guy Zhou Dong won’t even give me food!”
Wu Xiaoyu saw her and, half crying, half laughing, responded after a while, “Suffocating?
Looks like you’re really enjoying your dramas!
What were you holding just now?
Li Qianqian, seeing him so unromantic and clueless, immediately pouted, frowned, and walked slowly towards Wu Xiaoyu.
“Brother Xiaoyu, you’ve changed!
You didn’t treat me before.
Do you have someone else outside now…” Li Qianqian said pitifully.
Her words gave Wu Xiaoyu goosebumps all over.
Watching too many K-dramas at such a young age, huh?
Wu Xiaoyu took a few steps back and said, “How did I treat you before?
We’re just friends, don’t get any ideas.
And I’ll tell you, I’m a very fierce person, I could even hit women!”
Seeing his fierce expression, Li Qianqian burst out laughing, then covered her face with her hands and coquettishly said, “I don’t care, take me out for a walk, okay?”
That’s not happening!
It’s better if you just give me your family’s contact info.
Once your parents take you back, you can go wherever you want!” Wu Xiaoyu said, sitting down on a nearby sofa.
Li Qianqian, seeing that he was still determined to send her away, took a few steps forward, leaned on the back of the sofa behind him, and cried:
“I already told you, my dad remarried and doesn’t want me anymore.
You still want to send me away, you’re too heartless!
And I even thought I would bring you some benefit!”
Bring me some benefit?
Girl, are you out of your mind?
We’ve only known each other for a few days!
Even though I’m mighty and handsome, it’s not like you’d throw yourself at me?
have a high fever as a child?” Wu Xiaoyu asked hesitantly.
Li Qianqian misunderstood his point and, thinking he was inquiring about her past, excitedly replied, “Yes…
Seeing her naive expression, Wu Xiaoyu’s forehead sprouted black lines.
He gave her a glance and coldly said, “I meant, did you have a high fever that damaged your brain?”
Hearing this, Li Qianqian sulked angrily and sat beside him, puffing her cheeks, saying nothing more.
Wu Xiaoyu continued, “If your brain wasn’t fried, you wouldn’t have been tricked into going to a nightclub, would you?”
Don’t you know what a nightclub is?
And they told you to drink, so you did?”
“Give me your hand; let me check if you’re really mentally challenged!” Wu Xiaoyu said, reaching for her wrist.
Li Qianqian, instead of resisting, took the chance to punch Wu Xiaoyu hard in the abdomen, muttering, “That’s for calling me mentally challenged!”
To her surprise, Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t fazed by her punch.
After a brief silence, he let go of her hand and said calmly, “So, you’re not mentally challenged?”
Seeing his serious statement, Li Qianqian stood up with her hands on her hips and furiously yelled, “You’re the one who’s mentally challenged!”
As they heatedly argued over the term ‘mentally challenged,’ they faintly heard a quarrel from the neighboring private room.
Wu Xiaoyu calmed down, reassured Li Qianqian not to wander, and then headed over.
As soon as Wu Xiaoyu pushed the door open, he saw a well-dressed couple loudly berating the waiter, Xiaoyu.
A heavily made-up woman, hands on her hips, yelled, “Are you blind?
I’m sure you’re jealous of me, deliberately splashing the soup on me to embarrass me, aren’t you?”
The waiter, Xiaoyu, bowed his head in fear, apologizing, “I’m sorry…
didn’t do it on purpose, it was an accident!”
Then it was intentional!
You can’t do your job properly, taking on this lowly job, and now you’re playing tricks?
You have no idea how the world works!” The woman screamed even more hysterically.
Xiaoyu, angered by her insulting words, timidly replied, “My job isn’t lowly…
Upon hearing this, the woman became even more enraged and reached out to tear at Xiaoyu, cursing, “You little b****, how dare you talk back?
I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Wu Xiaoyu shouted, “Stop!
Xiaoyu finally noticed Wu Xiaoyu coming in and quickly rushed over, tearfully explaining:
I tripped over that gentleman’s foot and accidentally spilled the soup on this lady; I really didn’t mean it!”
The employees at Jiji, personally selected by Zhou Dong, were honest and reliable, so there was no way they’d mistreat customers, let alone lie to him.
Considering she tripped and accidentally spilled the soup, such a mistake is understandable, and naturally, he wouldn’t blame her.
Stepping forward, Wu Xiaoyu approached the diners and said, “I’m the owner of this restaurant.
Our waiter made a mistake and accidentally spilled the soup on you.
To show our sincerity, how about we waive your bill?”
The man, who was eating with his head down, looked up proudly and said, “Waive the bill?
Do you know how much my girlfriend’s dress costs?
Do you know what brand it is?”
The woman, standing next to him, immediately chimed in, “This is a new Prada summer collection, costing tens of thousands of dollars!
You hillbilly, do you think a free meal will solve it?
Seeing her arrogant attitude, Wu Xiaoyu felt a surge of anger but maintained a smile for the sake of business and asked, “So, how would you like to resolve this?”
The man, hearing this, put down his chopsticks and said lightly, “Why not…
just shut down your restaurant?
If your waiters can’t even serve properly, what’s the point of keeping this place open?”
Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward and timidly said, “It was clearly you who tripped me, causing me to spill the soup…”
Seeing Xiaoyu defend herself, Wu Xiaoyu felt a bit gratified and nodded at her with a smile.
The woman, however, exploded again, “You little b****, now you’re blaming us?
You made a mistake and want to pin it on us?
I think you’re fed up with living…”
After cursing, the woman reached out again to grab Xiaoyu.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyu quickly pulled Xiaoyu behind him.
Want to start a fight?
Do you know where you are?” Wu Xiaoyu barked, his face fierce.
The woman, clearly frightened by his anger, stepped back repeatedly.
The man beside her stood up straight and, with a look of disdain, walked over to her side.
