Chapter 357: Chapter 345: Arrogant

Watching the two handsome young men walk in side by side and directly find a place to sit down, Chen Qiuyu’s eyes widened.

Only a moment of stunned hesitation passed before Chen Qiuyu quickly caught up.

"A Blue Mountain coffee and a mocha, thank you."

Before Chen Qiuyu could speak, one of the men had placed the order and then started chatting among themselves.

"Phew, finally done and can head back, if it weren’t for not having seen each other in a long time, I really wouldn’t want to waste time here with you; I’d already be on the plane back to the Capital City by now."

"Heh, Kun, do you have to be so merciless? You have kids and yet you’re afraid your wife will run away on her own two feet?"

"You can’t even get married, so how can you understand the satisfaction of having your wife and kids by the warm stove? I don’t have much in common with you anymore in this regard."

"Rare for you, not to get tired of seeing the same face every single day..."

--

Chen Qiuyu quietly retreated, her eyes brimming with excitement. One of the two men before her, the one called Kun, had left a deep impression on her.

That person was Pei Kun, who, compared to when she saw him on TV in her previous life, now appeared to be twenty to thirty years younger—but his features were deeply etched into her memory. On TV, he looked like he commanded authority, and the host mentioned he was the helmsman of the nation’s wealthiest, Pei Group.

The wealthiest man in the country in the future was now right before her very eyes. Rich and incredibly handsome, not the disgusting type who was fat-headed...

Initially, she worried about someone just looking similar, but as soon as she heard the other person address him as "Kun," she was certain of her guess.

Who would have thought she would encounter such a young him here?

Chen Qiuyu was trembling with excitement; no, she must find a way to climb up to him. But listening to their conversation, it seemed that Pei Kun would soon leave N City and return to the Capital City. What could she do in such a short time?

Chen Qiuyu bit her lip, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes.

If she waited until Pei Kun left, it would likely not be so easy to stumble upon him again, but what could she do?

It wasn’t until she had quietly served the two men their coffees and discreetly stepped back that she still hadn’t come up with a good idea. Though she had many plans in her mind, every one was quickly dismissed.

As time ticked away, she inevitably became anxious.

"Welcome!"

The windchime at the entrance sounded again, and a female attendant greeted customers with a pleasant voice. Chen Qiuyu glanced over subconsciously; the person entering was a regular, the wife of Director Wei from Wei Group, the bigwig of N City, Madam Lin.

It was said she was not the first wife but the new wife Director Wei married after making his fortune. She was known to have a really bad temper.

Last time in the coffee shop, a waitress accidentally served her the wrong coffee, and she slapped her on the spot. Afterwards, not only did the boss personally apologize to Madam Lin, he even went as far as to fire that waitress.

Chen Qiuyu’s gaze flickered as she looked at the coffee in her hand; this was an opportunity, if she failed, it wouldn’t matter much, she could just move to another city... but if she succeeded, she might just take flight...

Chen Qiuyu hesitated for less than a second before making her decision. She calmly headed towards Mrs. Lin and her companion. Despite her resolve, as she approached, her heartbeat inevitably began to race--

Mrs. Lin was chatting and laughing with her companion as they walked towards their usual seats, all the while flaunting her ring.

"...This was specially selected by my dear Wei for our anniversary. I was really shocked when he presented it; I hadn’t expected him to be so romantic."

As she walked, Mrs. Lin raised her right hand, showing off her ring to the woman beside her.

The companion laughed obsequiously, "President Wei is indeed thoughtful. Only he would be willing to buy such a large diamond; it must have cost a pretty penny, huh? You two really are a loving couple."

"That’s true. Just this ring alone is worth tens of thousands, and he even said that he’s going to buy me a diamond ring every anniversary. Giggle, I don’t know if he can really pull it off, though."

"Slap--"

"What’s wrong with you, blind or something? Can’t you watch where you’re walking? Hurry up and call your boss over--"

"Mrs., Mrs. Lin, I’m so, so sorry."

Chen Qiuyu covered her face and bowed her head to hide the flash of anger in her eyes. If her plan today didn’t work, she would find a way to get in with Chairman Wei of Wei Group and make this woman regret ever slapping her.

She quickly turned the anger in her eyes into a look of fear, shrinking her shoulders and trembling as she stuttered an apology.

"An apology is enough, you’re not convinced? Do you think a slap is all it would’ve taken if that coffee actually spilled on me? Do you have any idea how expensive the clothes I’m wearing are... You couldn’t afford them even if you worked here for an entire year..."

Although the anger in Chen Qiuyu’s eyes was fleeting, Mrs. Lin caught it sensitively. She became enraged. Here was someone who had bumped into her because they weren’t watching where they were going, and not only did they not apologize properly, they dared to resent her for slapping them?

Since when had Mrs. Lin, who had successfully married into a wealthy family, ever had to put up with such attitude?

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. It was our waitress’s fault for being careless, Mrs. Lin. I will immediately have her apologize to you, and we will offer you a fifty percent discount on today’s bill," said the floor manager, Wang Yingxiong, as he ran over and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin to make amends.

"Fifty percent off? Do I look like I need that little bit of money? Why isn’t your boss coming out to deal with this instead of sending you? Is he hiding out back like a Ninja Turtle? No, it won’t do. If she doesn’t kneel and apologize today, we won’t be through," Mrs. Lin demanded aggressively.

"Our boss isn’t in the store today, otherwise he would have been here earlier. Mrs. Lin, you are a generous person, I will have her apologize to you right away."

Wang Yingxiong smiled sycophantically and turned to Chen Qiuyu with a schadenfreude look, huffing, "Hurry up and do as you’re told, if you don’t apologize now, no one will be able to save you."

Chen Qiuyu trembled again and deeply bowed to her, then bravely looked up to meet Mrs. Lin’s eyes, "I’m sorry for bumping into you because I wasn’t looking where I was going. Please forgive me."

"Are you not only blind but also deaf? I told you to kneel and apologize, kneel! Can’t you understand human speech?" Mrs. Lin looked down on her from a superior position with an arrogant and domineering air.

Chen Qiuyu bit her lip tightly and stood her ground stubbornly with tears glistening in her eyes, trying desperately not to let them fall.

"Hurry up and apologize already," Wang Yingxiong said as he watched Chen Qiuyu’s defiance, with sweat about to drip down his face.

He had heard from his brother-in-law that the strength of Wei Group was not something their small café could afford to provoke. Even if his brother-in-law were here today, he wouldn’t be able to protect her, and he would also have had Chen Qiuyu submit.
