Chapter 172 Is He Jealous?
Yuan Yangyang noticed that there weren't many of each type of pastry, and indeed, several types of pastries were sold out.
The others were also scattered and messy, not aesthetically pleasing at all, giving the impression that the items were cheap.
But she just tasted them, and they all tasted great.
Moreover, the Yuan family wouldn't order cheap items.
As an employee of the pastry shop, Su Mingyue clearly failed to perform her duties properly.
These are all part of their job duties. The Yuan family had this service included in their contract with the pastry shop and had paid for it.
At such banquets, most men are engaged in business dealings, so only women will eat a piece of pastry.
This only represents a small portion of the population.
Because many people are mindful of their figure and don't eat much sweets.
Or perhaps they're not used to eating while wearing formal attire.
Judging from the condition of the pastries on these plates, it's clear that they haven't been added since they were placed here.
This isn't a waiter; it's like someone's come to the Yuan family to act like a big shot.
Yuan Yangyang thought about it and then said it aloud.
Then, Yuan Sixiao stepped forward and said to Su Mingyue, "Is what she said true? Do you have anything else to say?"
Su Mingyue bit her lip and shouted, "So many of you are bullying me! It's just a plate of pastries, is it really that big of a deal?"
"I'm a waitress at a dessert shop, not a servant of the Yuan family. You see, the pastries on the plate are gone. Can't you ask a servant to bring them some?"
"I think you all just take advantage of me because I'm a young girl and easy to bully, so you're only targeting me!"
Yuan Sixiao's patience ran out, and he showed no mercy to her.
"The fees we paid included not only the cost of the pastries but also the service fees for your employees, all of which were higher than the industry standard. The store should have explained this to you before you came."
"There is no such thing as treating you as a servant of the Yuan family, and our family does not lack servants."
Yuan Sixiao said truthfully, "Besides, even if we were to hire servants, you wouldn't be on our radar, so you can rest assured."
[Pfft! My sharp-tongued second brother is online, I love it!]
Su Mingyue blushed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed.
But when he met Yuan Sixiao's emotionless eyes, he suddenly lost the courage to refute her.
Yuan Sixiao continued, "I will report today's events to your store truthfully. You can leave now."
"As you said yourself, our Yuan family has no shortage of servants, so there's no need for you to condescend to serve us here."
"Otherwise, if they accuse us of being heartless and abusing our employees, we really won't be able to handle it."
“You…” Su Mingyue was speechless for a moment, and looked at Yan Zizhuo, who had been standing to the side without saying a word.
Seeking help, "Brother Zizhuo, are you just going to stand by and watch them bully me like this, and not do anything about it?"
"Su Mingyue, this is the Yuan family home. My words don't count. Besides, didn't you bring all this trouble upon yourself?"
Yan Zizhuo remained unmoved and spoke without holding back.
[Good heavens! I thought that name sounded familiar, and now I know it's her!]
Yuan Yangyang's loud bang startled both Yuan Sixiao and Yan Zizhuo.
I don't understand what Yuan Yangyang thought of this time, why she suddenly made such a big fuss.
[Su Mingyue, isn't that the female lead in the novel?]
Yuan Sixiao: The female lead? That's it?
Yan Zizhuo still remembered what Yuan Yangyang had said in her previous thoughts, that he would be entangled with the female lead in the book and would eventually be used as a stepping stone by her.
However, Yan Zizhuo had a headache looking at Su Mingyue's self-righteous and unrealistic attitude.
He rubbed his temples, deep in thought.
Is he really that blind? That can't be!
[What kind of eye does God have? Did He pick the female lead out of a trash can?! Anyone you randomly grab off the street wouldn't be any worse than Su Mingyue!]
Yuan Sixiao nodded, deeply agreeing.
Are the requirements for the female lead really that low? Then it would be better to let his younger sister Yangyang be the female lead.
At the very least, she's countless times better than this Su Mingyue.
[I remember the story described the female lead as a very ambitious girl who, despite still being in school, worked various part-time jobs to earn her living expenses. Apparently, her self-reliance involved slacking off at her employer's house and causing trouble for the guests. I've learned something new.]
The book also says that the male protagonist was deeply attracted by the female protagonist's indomitable spirit and her refusal to bow to evil forces. When I read this sentence, I was thinking, "There's no mention of the underworld in this book, so where did this evil force come from?"
[But seeing how much Su Mingyue wants to tear us all apart, I think I understand now. So, in her eyes, we're the evil force, aren't we!]
Yuan Sixiao's lips twitched; he believed him.
The book also says that even with unscrupulous wealthy businessmen, she would act decisively and without compromise based on their status.
Looking back now, her behavior wasn't about being uncompromising; it was clearly resentment towards the wealthy!
It seems that in her eyes, having money is a sin, and all the blame can be placed on us.
[But she was an ordinary person with no connections, and this very identity became her shield.]
[Oh my god, how could it be twisted like this? Is the author perhaps the female lead's biological mother?!]
[Without dozens of filters, the female lead wouldn't look that good.]
Those admirable virtues, I fear I will never be able to look at them the same way again.
This is absolutely insane.
[This isn't the female lead, she's practically a living father! And a self-important, self-righteous one at that.]
[The rich are all inferior to her; only she, a member of the working class, is considered glorious. Ugh!]
Yuan Sixiao was also disgusted, his eyes filled with loathing.
Yan Zizhuo felt a mix of emotions. The thought of the inner voice saying that he and the female lead were entangled made him feel terrible.
Seeing Su Mingyue looking at him with a hurt expression, Yan Zizhuo instinctively took a step back.
Realizing he had lost his composure, Yan Zizhuo coughed lightly, trying to remain calm.
"We're not that close, you should just call me General Manager Yan! Hehehe, anyone who didn't know better would think you were about to lay an egg!"
[Hahaha, is the main villain this funny? I never would have guessed!]
"You... I thought we were very close. Didn't you give me the Cloud Pavilion VIP card before?"
Su Mingyue didn't understand why Yan Zizhuo had become so distant from her after just attending the Yuan family banquet.
Not only did they not help her, but they also let her be bullied by these people and distanced themselves from her.
Is she some kind of virus, hiding so far away?
She used to be very special to me.
Doesn't he like her? Is this just him playing hard to get?
Or is it because she lent Liu Yishuang her Cloud Pavilion card last time, which made him unhappy?
Is he jealous?
That's true. Although she wasn't interested in Liu Yishuang and didn't think much of him, he was still a man after all.
It's understandable that Yan Zizhuo is jealous.
After figuring it out, Su Mingyue felt even more confident at the end of the month.
