129 Don’t Bring Them to Humiliate Me

“Is insurance included too?”

“I don’t think so.”

“She’s here.” When Zhuo Yuan saw that figure, she quickly reminded them to end the topic.

Wang Rui, who came in with a tray, was stunned when she saw the group of people.

She placed plates of food on the shelf at the side and said indifferently, “Everything you ordered is here.”

“Bring us a few aprons.” Meng Xi frowned and called out to her before she left.

Wang Rui did not like to be ordered around by her.

She clenched her fists, took a few aprons from the cabinet, and handed them to Meng Xi. “Here.”

“It’s so dirty.”

“It’s a single use apron. What do you mean it’s dirty?”

“Can’t you see it with your eyes?” Meng Xi pointed at the oil stains on it. “It’s all oily and stinky.”

“I don’t smell anything.”

“Then at least you can see the oil stains, right?” She threw the apron to Wang Rui. “How can you give me something that someone else has used?”

“Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?” Wang Rui, who was easily triggered, thought that Meng Xi was doing it on purpose.

Meng Xi was confused. “Are you kidding me? Why would I do it on purpose? Aren’t you the one who failed at your job?”

“If you think it’s dirty, just get a new one. Why do you have to be so aggressive? Why did you talk to me with that attitude?”

“Didn’t you say it wasn’t dirty? That’s why I was showing you the oil stains.”

Wang Rui sneered.

She stuffed the apron back into the cabinet. “I’ve already left Sheng Heng. There’s no need for you to make things difficult for me.”

“Doesn’t she have the right to make a request as a customer? How is she making things difficult for you?” A female colleague chimed in to speak up for Meng Xi.

She pointed to the cabinet. “Single use apron should have a wrapper, but the one you took out didn’t. Why is that?”

“I didn’t notice.” Wang Rui took out a few unopened aprons from the second drawer.

“The service of this restaurant is too bad.” Meng Xi crossed her arms. “I won’t come again.”

“As you wish. I don’t care!” Wang Rui threw the aprons on the empty chair and stormed out.

“She has quite a temper.”

“Is she delusional? Meng Xi doesn’t even know her, so why would she make things difficult for her?”

“She has always liked to play tricks on others, which was why she was fired.”

“Don’t let her spoil our mood.” Qian Yongjun picked up a piece of tripe and said, “Let’s eat first.”

The fragrance that came with the rising steam aroused the appetite of everyone present. They couldn’t be bothered by someone unimportant.

The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding and the laughter lingering around made the entire private room even more lively.

After paying the bill, Wu Xiuwen tucked his briefcase under his arm and asked with a smile, “I live in the East District. Who wants a ride?”

Zhuo Yuan raised her hand. “I’ll go with you.”

Qian Yongjun, who was beside her, stood up and followed Wu Xiuwen, saying goodbye to everyone at the door.

“Tell us in the group when you get home.”

“Got it.”

Seeing that they were heading different directions, Meng Xi pressed the car key twice. “Senior, do you want me to send you back?”

“No need. My boyfriend is coming to pick me up.”

“How long until he gets here?”

“About ten minutes.”

“Then I’ll get going first.” Meng Xi couldn’t stand the smell of hotpot on her body and wanted to go home to take a shower.

Seeing her drive away, Lin Jiao, who was about to walk down the steps, was stopped by a familiar voice.

“Lin Jiao.” Wang Rui remembered the lesson from last time and did not dare to get too close to her.

She stuffed her hands in her pockets. “You suggested coming to dine here tonight to make a fool of me today, right?”

“You’re overthinking it.”

“Who else would it be if not you?”

Lin Jiao tightened her jacket. “I’m not interested in a stranger’s whereabouts.”

“Heh, do you think I’ll believe you?”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Her nonchalant attitude made Wang Rui feel an indescribable sense of frustration, as if she was exploding with anger but couldn’t vent it.

“Lin Jiao, can you let me off?” She chose to give in, hoping for reconciliation.

“Did I make things difficult for you?”

“No.”

“Then what’s the point of asking me to let you off since I’ve done nothing to you?”

Wang Rui didn’t want to argue.

She looked straight into her eyes. “I hope you won’t bring them to insult me again.”

“You should really go to see a psychologist.” Lin Jiao crossed the road before the traffic light changed.

She ignored the roar behind her and got into the passenger seat of the Mercedes that had been parked there for a while.

“Who is she?”

“A former colleague.”

“The one who stole your proposal?”

“Yeah.” Lin Jiao took the juice from him. “Ignore her. She has a mental problem.”

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow after hearing the whole story.

He stepped on the accelerator. “It’s hard for someone like her to survive in society.”

Lin Jiao looked at Wang Rui, who was being pointed at by her boss, and could guess what she was about to face.

Instead of Wang Rui, she was more concerned about him. “What did you eat tonight?”

“Beef noodles.”

“Don’t tell me it’s instant noodles.”

“No.” Pei Zhi turned the steering wheel to the left.

Lin Jiao was relieved.

She looked out the window at the night sky and only looked away when the neon lights disappeared.

“I’m so full.” When they got out of the car, she held his hand and put it under her sweater. “My stomach is bloated.”

When he suddenly touched her skin, Pei Zhi felt like his palm was being burned. “Do you want to take a walk with me?”

“I don’t want to walk.”

“Then eat a probiotic tablet when we get home.”

Lin Jiao nodded. “Okay.” She placed a hand on her hip. “Do I look like a pregnant woman?”

“Not at all.” Pei Zhi pressed the elevator button.

He put his arm around her shoulder and looked at her flat stomach. “You’ll look more like one if you stuff a pillow under your clothes.”

Lin Jiao smiled and followed him into the elevator.

She suddenly asked, “Do you like boys or girls?”

“I like both.”

“What if you have to choose one?”

“I can’t choose.” Pei Zhi pressed against the top of her head. “I like whoever you give birth to.”

Lin Jiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She stood in front of the living room and let him help her change shoes.

“Uncle.” After eating the probiotic tablet, she lay weakly on his chest. “Help me massage it.”

Pei Zhi reached into her sweater with his left hand.

He focused on rubbing her stomach while changing the channel with the remote control in his other hand.

A song sounded, breaking the silence around them and accompanying them through an ordinary but warm night.
