Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Gritting Teeth_1
Zhou Siyu’s face instantly fell, revealing small cracks in her cute and sassy makeup. Looking at Qiao Xiaren’s indifferent face, she gritted her teeth in annoyance.
What the hell? Shouldn’t a normal person invite her to sit down? Besides, she had initiated the conversation.
Glances were shooting from all directions. Zhou Siyu was on the verge of snapping, standing in extreme embarrassment. But being fiercely proud and face-saving, she could only stand there pretending nothing had happened.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, she wished she could just vanish into thin air.
Ironically, two people had no idea about the embarrassment they were causing, and were discussing side dishes.
“Is the spice level here good enough for you?”
“Not bad, pretty authentic.”
“Should we get some hot water too? Top-level spice with hot water, it’s euphoric!”
Ignored for so long, Zhou Siyu finally lost patience: “Yeqian…”
The young man lifted his head and gave her a lethargic glance: “Go back first. Don’t wait for me.”
Zhou Siyu: “…” Isn’t it clear to everyone that she doesn’t want to leave?
Biting her lip, her face turned even more embarrassed. She knew Yeqian wasn’t easy to get along with, but as they were from the same company, he should be giving her some face. The problem was, why was he so close with Qiao Xiaren, joking and laughing during their first meeting!
Not a rational person to begin with, Zhou Siyu’s suppressed anger burned away her last bit of sanity: “Qiao Xiaren, watch your attitude. I’m your senior. Don’t get arrogant just because you can hold a conversation. Oh, so now that you’re working with the super star Chu, you can ignore everyone else? Do you even understand the basics of social etiquette?”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaren, now looking at Zhou Siyu’s arrogant face, revealed an interested smile: “When have I ignored you?”
“You’re still denying it, then why…”
Looking at Zhou Siyu’s frustrated face, Qiao Xiaren just smiled faintly: “It wasn’t my fault I didn’t invite you to sit. After all, the person treating today is the great Chu, how could Abby and me, two extras, dare to take the lead?”
Looking sincere and innocent.
Chu, who was still eating, choked on Qiao Xiaren’s words. She just passed the buck to him, he didn’t realise she was also a dark horse!
Chu Yifei glanced at the goddess still eating and then looked up: “I’m sorry, but there’s no room.”
Even if Zhou Siyu’s skin was thick, she couldn’t stay there any longer.
Perhaps feeling sorry for Zhou Siyu, Chu Yifei spoke up to her. Zhou Siyu’s foot paused and she felt a little relieved, but just as she was about to reply, she heard Chu Yifei say, “By the way, please pay the bill before you leave. Didn’t you say you were treating?”
Zhou Siyu’s heart was stabbed painfully.
Yes, she did say she was treating, but why did she feel like she was being set up?
This blow was too cruel. Zhou Siyu’s smile finally faltered. She pulled out some bills from her bag and placed them on the counter, her feet stomping as if she wished she could stomp a hole in the floor.
Looking at Qiao Xiaren, Zhou Siyu suddenly had a wicked idea. A malicious glint flashed in her eyes. She deliberately walked past Qiao Xiaren and feigned a stumble, consequently knocking over the hot soup on the table, straight towards Qiao Xiaren’s face.
The boiling soup, if poured directly, would definitely ruin her face! Let’s see if she dares to be so presumptuous! Let’s see if she dares to seduce men!
She had wanted to pour this hot soup on this cheap woman’s face for a long time. Seeing the soup pot going straight for Qiao Xiaren’s face, Zhou Siyu felt a wicked pleasure.
The sharp scream of someone, caught everyone’s attention.
A woman in a white dress was drenched in bright red soup from head to toe. It looked as if a big bucket of paint had been poured over her, with water dripping continuously. Her dress was crumpled, and bits of food had splattered everywhere. She looked absolutely pathetic.
As for Qiao Xiaren, she had already dodged aside the instant the hot pot overturned.
