The woman who had raised her hand must have applied too much force because when her hand didn’t meet the target she lost her balance and almost fell on the floor but was saved because her friend caught her before she could fall.
Angered she raised her head to glare at the waitress who dared to step away but only saw a man standing in front of her.
“Who are you?” She screeched
Her shrill voice made Manager Yun close his eyes in irritation.
A moment later, he turned a little and his eyes were wide opened when he saw the man the woman was talking rudely to.
While Lin Qianru abruptly opened her eyes when even after a few moments she didn’t feel any pain, only to see a pair of wide shoulders in front of her.
“Manager Yun, When did you start allowing violence in Night Bird?”
The deep manly voice fell in her ears and she was confused when she saw the fearful face of Manager Yun.
“That, Bo…I mean Mr. Chi”
Manger Yun immediately changed his words when he saw the man looking at him coldly.
“I never allowed it. It’s just that everything happened so suddenly and I couldn’t control the situation.”
The name Mr. Chi felt familiar to Lin Qianru and she suddenly remembered that it was the same man from yesterday.
“Oh…so this s**t even had a sugar daddy to save herself. Huh…I was right.”
A soon as the one finished the next woman continued
“Of Course Jiejie, What can be expected from the women like you? Doing this small job is just a pretense. In reality, you are seducing the rich men who come here every day.”
The two women spoke many things without even noticing how her words were affecting the people around her.
There were also children in the hall. The parents consciously covered their children’s ears so that they won’t be able to such foul language.
On the other hand, Manager Yun trembled when he saw Chi Rong looking at the women coldly.
He silently took a step back as if to show that now he was out of this matter.
“Bothe the madams have such a sharp mouth.”
The two women were taken aback by the cold and sharp tone of the man.
They looked at each other and frowned.
“Who the hell are you to talk to us like that? Do you even know what family I am from? If the word get out then you won’t ever be able to step inside this restaurant again. So be wise and step away from that w***e.”
Chi Ring raised his eyebrows at the woman’s words and said with a cold smile
“Oh, let me see just how anyone will stop me from coming in my own restaurant.”
Many gasps were heard as soon as he finished his words.
A few whispers ran down the hall while Lin Qianru was still absorbing those words.
“He really is Mr. Chi?”
“Of Course you can feel the aura itself.”
“Woah…I have not expected to see Mr. Chi in such a situation.”
Now even the two women could hear the people’s words.
Contrary to the excitement of the other people, Chi Rong still looked very calm. Putting his hands in his pants pockets, he said to Manager Yun.
“Manager Yun. I want to see whatever happened here a few moments ago. Go and bring the CCTV camera footage.”
The women’s face went pale at Chi Rong’s words.
“Stop.”
They immediately held Manager Yun so that he won’t be able to go out of the hall. Then they turned to look back at Chi Rong and said
“Mr. Chi, that….we didn’t know it is you. Since you want to disperse this matter we will not pull it long now. Anyways your restaurant is compensating us by not letting us pay anything for today’s meal.”
The two women said respectfully while Lin Qianru frowned at their sudden change of tone.
However, Chi Ring didn’t waver by their respectful attitude.
“Who said that? I never said that you won’t pay anything. Manager Yun, did you say that to them?”
Manager Yun immediately shook his head and white lied.
“Never, Boss. I never said that.”
“Good.”
Chi Rong nodded his head in satisfaction and said
“So now you can ask them to pay and if they don’t then call the police.”
After saying this, Chi Rong turned around and walked away from there as if nothing happened.
Manager Yun took the job his boss had asked him to do while Lin Qianru looked at the back of the departing Mr. Chi.

Getting down from the bus, Mo Roulan sighed tiredly as she stood at the bus stop waiting for another bus.
Today she got a bit late and missed the direct bus to her society. So now she had to change two buses to go back.
As she stood at the bus stop, she looked around.
The place felt a little familiar but she couldn’t find out why.
In her last life, Mo Roulan had also lived in City H for some time. After He Jian left her to live by herself, she couldn’t stay in City S so she came to live in City H.
However, since she used to live in slums and only went out for her job she didn’t know much about City H.
Now standing at the bus stop, she tried to remember why she fins the place a bit familiar.
And suddenly the next moment she found out.
Opposite to the road, she was standing, a bit far away she could see lights glowing at the entrance of a bar.
Her feet unconsciously moved forward and she moved towards the bar.
The entrance also felt a little familiar.
Why wouldn’t it? She had worked in that bar for one whole month in her last life. But she left that job soon because she could never get comfortable with her job in the bar.
Sighing she was about to walk back to the bus stop when her eyes caught a familiar figure.
It was Shen Youlin.
Mo Roulan frowned when she saw Shen Youlin going inside the bar.
Since she has worked here, she of course knew what kind of people visited this bar.
But what was Shen Youlin doing here?
Her heart beat suddenly sped up.
It couldn’t be that….
No, Youlin would never do that. She, perhaps, only came here to have some drink.
However since the thought had already entered her mind she couldn’t throw it out.
One step forward, two steps forward….
With clenched fists, Mo Roulan looked at the entrance as the dark memories of the past engulfed her mind.
Should she go and check on Shen Youlin once?
She looked at the security guard who was guarding the entrance.
Mo Roulan threw her purse behind the flower pot placed at the entrance and started to scream
“My purse…someone stole my purse…catch him…”
The security guard was attracted by her shouts and came running to her side.
“Ma’am, what happened?”
Mo Roulan shed some fake tears and said
“Brother, a man stole my purse and ran away. My purse had my Identity card, my money, and so many important things.”
The security guard was almost forty years old. He felt flattered when Mo Roulan called him brother. So he comforted her.
“Ma’am, please stand here. I’ll go and look for him. He must not have run far away. Can you please tell me in which direction he ran?”
Mo Roulan nodded her head vigorously and pointed in some random direction.
The security guard was about to run in the direction she pointed in when he suddenly remembered the bar. He hesitated but Mo Roulan understood his thoughts and said immediately.
“Brother, you don’t need to worry about here. I’ll stand here and won’t let anyone enter inside until you come back.”
So the security guard foolishly believed her.
‘If only he has such a cute sister.’
Happy that such a beautiful girl called him brother, again and again, he ran to catch the thief.
While Mo Roulan looked around for a few moments and then stepped inside the bar.
The loud music entered her ears.
People were dancing all around the bar. She crossed them skillfully and walked ahead.
She easily found the stairs and went to the first floor.
When she passed the rooms, her gaze suddenly stopped at a room and everything stilled suddenly.
—————
“Take it, come on. I’ll pay you if you take it obediently.”
The old baldy man dangled a white powdery substance in front of her.
“No…”
She whispered and tried to step away disliking the smell of heavy liquor from his body.
“What…no?”
The old man shouted and sneered
“Why are pretending to be so innocent? Do you think I don’t know? Every single person who works here takes this, so you’re no different. You must have taken it before….and I can also tell the other things you have done after taking this.”
His lecherous gaze roamed down at her body making her feel sick in the pit of her stomach.
