Chapter 24 - Or else what?
Li Luxian had still not arrived. Chen Feng silently read the menu with a faint smile displaying on her pouty lips. Her chocolate brown hair was tied in an intricate hairstyle with a few strands hanging loosely in front of her ears. Her jade-like face was flawless resembling that of a pretty porcelain doll. Her features were distinct and the people’s eyes couldn’t elude that bewitching lure in her temperament.
She was sitting in the VIP table that retained a little privacy but she could still hear the faint noises caused by Lin Min at some distance.
"Waiter! Come here right now!", Lin Min shouted arrogantly.
"Yes, miss?", a waiter responded to her call in a professional, reverent tone.
"I want to see the assistant manager right now!", Lin Min replied in a bad-tempered voice. That poor waiter almost jumped at the malice her tone held.
"Miss. is there any problem?", that waiter asked in a little terrified tone. If that shrewish woman had some problem with their service, his assistant manager would sure give him a hard time.
"Since when did the standards of this restaurant fell this low that it started allowing beggars to VIP tables?", she angrily spat.
Out of all the things, what aggravated Lin Min the most was the fact that that bitch was sitting in a VIP table. The VIP table of this restaurant cost not only a huge sum of money but a family name. She had long wanted to book it to flaunt her money but she couldn’t. She could hardly book a normal table and that after a month long of waiting. Her jealousy peaked once finding that person Chen Feng she looked down upon enjoying that privilege. How could that bit*h Chen Feng afford it?
Her closest speculation was that Chen Feng must have seduced someone of the management staff of this restaurant. Or else how could she enter the VIP table?
Lin Min herself could only enter this restaurant using her father’s name. Without the name of a prominent respectful family, no matter how much money her sugar daddy threw at her, she couldn’t enter.
"What beggar?", that waiter asked puzzled.
That restaurant only allowed those guests that had a prominent background. Its security was tight and it double checked the list of those who were let in.
"She!", Lin Min pointed in Chen Feng’s direction, "How could a who*e like her reserve the VIP table?"
The waiter’s eyes followed the direction of Lin Min fingers and his face paled. Wasn’t it the lady that Mr. Li brought? The manager of the restaurant had himself came to receive them. How could she, of all the people, be a beggar?
"Miss you are mistaken", that waiter politely said, "That lady had been invited in after being confirmed by our..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?", Lin Min was getting impatient, "Do you want to lose your job! I say bring the assistant manager here right now!"
That waiter realized that the matter was out of control and he couldn’t reason with that crass woman. So he quickly scurried away and brought the assistant manager.
"Is there a problem miss?", the assistant manager asked.
"Yes there is", Lin Min said confidently expecting her request to be completed right away after asking. She was good at exploiting her father’s name. Even if her paternal family never shown any interest in her for being the illegitimate daughter, in the outside world she always acted like she was the adored and cherished eldest miss of the Lin family. "I want you to throw that low born out of this restaurant right now"
That assistant manager paused for a moment, looked at the VIP table where he could see that bewitching woman Mr. Li had brought and he could also discern a faint smile on her tender lips.
"Miss I’m sorry I can’t do that"
Lin Min was taken by surprise. Did that petty manager just reject her request?
"Why can’t you?’, her voice held deep malevolence. "Don’t you know who I’m? My father had invested so much in this restaurant and you can’t even throw a petty commoner out for me?"
The matter was way too overboard now. Everyone was keenly listening to the fight. If now Lin Min failed to throw her out, she would lose her face. So Lin Min couldn’t give up. She was desperate while on the other hand, Chen Feng’s temperament was calm and impassive like the matter had nothing to do with her at all. It further maddened Lin Min.
"Miss we are only following the manager’s instructions", the assistant manager tried to palliate her outburst. He wanted to resolve the issue without offending any party.
Blinded with anger, frustration and jealousy Lin Min blurted out.
"It is you!", her face distorted as a great revelation dawned on her, "You have been seduced by her. Haven’t you?", she said continuing to throw her tantrum, "Or else how could she reserve a VIP table?"
A slight chuckle escaped Chen Feng’s lips as she shook her head. Was there no end to Lin Min stupidity? But whatever it was, it served a great source of amus.e.m.e.nt for Chen Feng.
"I’m telling you. Throw her out of here right now or else..."
"Or else what?", a grave voice was heard.
