Chapter 243: Kneel and Apologize
Translator: _Min_
Sheng Xin’s lips curved up slightly as she softly responded, “Auntie, I’ll give it a try.”
w.a.n.g Lan nodded repeatedly, her eyes crinkling with joy.
w.a.n.g Lan said, “Xinxin, with Meng Chuan in the movie, it’s bound to be a hit. Your family is surely going to make a fortune this time!”
Sheng Xin nodded in agreement.
The more w.a.n.g Lan observed Sheng Xin, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn’t help but say, “Xinxin, I really like you. I sincerely hope you can become my daughter-in-law.”
A fleeting image of Song Ling’s tall figure crossed Sheng Xin’s mind, her earlobes reddening slightly. After a few seconds of melancholy, she said, “Auntie, it seems like Song Ling doesn’t quite like me.”
w.a.n.g Lan quickly replied, “Xinxin, you’re smart and capable, and so graceful too. How could Song Ling not like you?”
Sheng Xin cast her eyes down, murmuring, “But Song Ling’s behavior…”
w.a.n.g Lan rea.s.sured her, “Song Ling has been running the company from a young age. After facing so many challenges in the business world, he’s just not used to expressing his emotions. He doesn’t dislike you; he’s just not good at showing it!”
Sheng Xin hesitantly asked, “Really?”
w.a.n.g Lan affirmed, “Of course! Besides, Song Ling is my own son. I know his thoughts better than anyone. So, Xinxin, don’t worry.”
w.a.n.g Lan paused, before she continued with a smile, “I believe Song Ling will definitely come to like you in the future.”
Sheng Xin shyly lowered her head, then glanced at the time, hurriedly changing the subject, “Auntie, it’s getting late. Let’s order some food.”
Sheng Xin took the menu from the waiter, ordered some dishes, and pa.s.sed it to w.a.n.g Lan with a smile, “Auntie, I’ve ordered some simple dishes. You can choose the main ones.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s displeasure faded a bit with Sheng Xin’s words. Taking the menu, she replied, “Alright.”
However, upon seeing the French on the menu, w.a.n.g Lan was completely baffled. She wanted to order but couldn’t recognize a single dish. Opening her mouth to speak, she found herself at a loss for words.
The waiter, noticing w.a.n.g Lan’s confusion, offered help with a smile, “Madam, our menu can be…”
w.a.n.g Lan stared at the waiter, coldly interrupting, “What are you laughing at?”
Yang Yi’s smile froze, her expression turning blank in panic, “I… 1 was just smiling politely.”
w.a.n.g Lan scoffed, “You were clearly mocking me!”
Yang Yi, her voice weak, protested, “1 didn’t, I…”
w.a.n.g Lan cut her off, angrily saying, “What are you, a mere lowly worker, to mock me? Don’t you know the customer is always right?”
Yang Yi hurriedly replied, “I wasn’t looking down on you. 1 was genuinely just smiling politely, as 1 do with all customers.”
w.a.n.g Lan, not listening, continued, “You were mocking me for not understanding French. Do you think you’re in a position to mock me? Can’t 1 afford it?”
Yang Yi explained, “I was about to say, our menu is digital and can be switched from French to Chinese.”
Suddenly, Yang Yi remembered that the menu she handed out was initially in Chinese and had switched to French. She turned her head, seeking help from Sheng Xin with her eyes.
Sheng Xin met Yang Yi’s gaze, paused for a few seconds, then looked away.
Sheng Xin handed a gla.s.s of water to w.a.n.g Lan, her voice gentle, “Auntie, don’t get upset over such a trivial matter.”
Yang Yi, touched by Sheng Xin’s words, felt her eyes well up. But the next words froze her.
Sheng Xin suggested, “Arguing with a waitress is beneath you. It would be better to make her kneel and apologize.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s eyes lit up, excitedly agreeing, “What a great idea!”
She turned to Yang Yi with a cold gaze, “Now, kneel and apologize.”
Yang Yi, a young girl, began to tear up in the face of such a demand, whimpering, “No, 1 don’t…”
w.a.n.g Lan threatened, “If you don’t apologize, I’ll speak to your manager and get you fired. Don’t blame me then. After all, I gave you a chance!”
At Linxian Pavilion, even the waitstaff were paid well.
Yang Yi, not wanting to lose her job, reluctantly lowered her head, crying, “I’m sorry.”
w.a.n.g Lan demanded further, “And kneel.”
Yang Yi, left with no choice, began to bend her knees, preparing to kneel. But just as she was about to touch the ground, she was suddenly pulled up by
someone..
