The manager apologized with an expressionless face, "Sorry, all other customers here just have to pay half price, but you bullied someone our owner protects, so you need to pay full price!"
Huang Mei was furious, "You, you are clearly being unreasonable and deliberately targeting us!"
The manager nodded solemnly, "That's right, you guessed it correctly, we are deliberately targeting you."
Upon hearing this, Huang Mei almost lost it on the spot.
Si Xue held onto the impulsive Huang Mei's sleeve and gave the manager a faint smile, appealing to emotion and reason.
"Manager, that girl just now was Si Fan, my sister. She has some misunderstandings with us, which caused this situation, and as you just saw, it's us who suffered, you can't turn a blind eye and support the wrong!"
The manager was surprised, "She's not your sister? You, as a sister, do not help your sister, why are you siding with outsiders to bully your sister?"
Si Xue's face froze for several seconds before she awkwardly smiled, "I always support reason, not relatives."
The manager looked at Si Xue oddly for a few seconds, not arguing about reason or relatives.
"Even if your sisterly relationship isn't great, don't tell me about these irrelevant things, the owner instructed me to do this, unless..."
Si Xue continued to ask, "Unless what?"
Manager: "Unless you apologize to that young lady as before, then we agree to give you half price."
Si Xue's face didn't look good, asking her to apologize to Si Fan, this despicable person?!
No way!
She would never do such a thing!
Huang Mei also felt her dignity was severely humiliated, angrily exclaimed, "Your restaurant just opened and is deceiving consumers, I'm going to call 12315 and complain about you!"
The manager was indifferent, "Feel free!"
Huang Mei angrily wanted to take out her phone to make the call, but was stopped by Si Xue.
She calmly said, "Isn't it just full price? We'll pay it."
She didn't want to be labeled as stingy over a bit of money.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd cooperated earlier?"
The manager said as he checked the bill for Si Xue and others, "You ordered several signature dishes at our restaurant, including beverages, red wine, dessert, and fruit salad, a total of fifty-four thousand eight hundred thirty-eight yuan."
Paused for a moment, the manager looked at Si Xue, "May I ask if it's Alipay or WeChat? Or card, or cash?"
Si Xue slightly gritted her teeth, smiling insincerely, "Card."
The manager took out the card machine, reached out to Si Xue, "Alright, give me the card."
Si Xue glanced at her sisters beside her, they all turned their gaze elsewhere, even Huang Mei lowered her head, acting as though she couldn't hear.
Si Xue held back her anger, could only take out her own card, handed it to the manager, still pretended to smile generously.
The manager took the card, swiped it, then returned it to Si Xue.
Si Xue glanced at Huang Mei and others, "Let's go!"
Just as the group was about to turn around, they saw Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao standing a meter behind them, who knows how long they'd been watching.
Huang Mei couldn't suppress her anger, sarcastically said, "Si Fan, quite the tactic, clinging to the great and powerful, huh?"
Si Fan kept her eyes straight ahead, completely ignoring them, stepped up to the manager, lips moving, voice indifferent, "Settle the bill."
The manager was a bit embarrassed, "Ahem, miss, your meal is on our owner, you don't need to settle the bill."
Si Fan's eyelids lifted slightly, her charming peach blossom eyes held a kind of ethereal chill, "No work, no reward; I don't know your owner. If he truly wants to settle the bill, let him come out and do it personally."
The manager was almost unable to handle being stared at by Si Fan, but as an employee, how could he call his boss?
No choice but to use the ultimate skill.
Thus, the manager shouted loudly, "Everyone, the restaurant has made an important temporary decision, that is today the entire restaurant is free, no payment, everyone can eat and drink for free!"
Everyone erupted.
"What?! Free eating and drinking??"
"Wow, this is amazing!"
"Bless the restaurant for thriving business in the future, prosperity and wealth!"
Someone even shouted.
"Thank you, boss, thank you, lady boss!"
Si Fan: "…"
Gu Xiaoxiao: "…"
While the expressions of Si Xue and Huang Mei and others who had just paid the full amount instantly turned sour as if they had eaten feces.
This is just too double standard, isn't it?
Why did they have to pay the full amount, while Si Fan didn't have to pay, and the restaurant manager even let everyone have a free meal because of this.
This!
This!
Truly comparing people makes one angry!
The manager finished speaking, then smiled at Si Fan, "Miss, your meal is free, no need to settle the bill, welcome for next time!"
Si Fan stared at the manager expressionlessly for a few seconds, then turned to look at the dumbfounded Gu Xiaoxiao, hooked her arm around her shoulder, "Let's go."
Gu Xiaoxiao came to her senses, responded, "Oh!"
Si Xue watched helplessly as Si Fan walked past her.
The girl's brow and eyes were indifferent, carrying a hint of indifferent arrogance, falling in her eyes, as if silently flaunting something.
She stared fixedly at Si Fan's back, secretly clenching her fingers, wishing her nails could dig into her palms.
Huang Mei was also annoyed in her heart, couldn't help but complain to Si Xue, "Si Xue, that what kind of sister is she, just watched you being bullied by the restaurant manager, she just stands behind watching, not making a sound to help, completely ignoring you!"
Si Xue slowly released her hand, shook her head, "Don't say it, I'm already used to my sister being like this."
The tone was slightly melancholic.
Huang Mei snorted, "Next time don't speak for her, don't invite her for a meal, such an ingrate, totally undeserving!"
Si Xue lowered her eyelashes, bowed her head, didn't speak, only her expression remained cold.
......
In the afternoon when school was over.
Si Fan chose not to stay on campus, but returned to the hotel from last night.
Mainly because staying on campus was too inconvenient, and the ordinary dormitory at S University was a four-person room, Si Fan was assigned a four-person dorm.
She never liked her personal space being invaded by others, so choosing to stay at a hotel was a good option.
Once she slowly earned some money, then buying an apartment would let her live freely.
Before returning to the hotel, she planned to go to the mall's clothing store to buy herself a few new clothes.
The clothes she was wearing were what Si Xue and Si Ya didn't want, making her uncomfortable.
Even as the dignified Interstellar War God Queen, even if she were poor enough to wear a... garbage bag, she would not want to wear what others had given!
She browsed casually, suddenly seemed to see something, her steps halted.
Not far away in a clothing shop, Jiang Qin's figure appeared clearly.
Si Fan's gaze intensified a bit, pondered for a moment, still stepped forward.
Jiang Qin was wandering in a row of dress displays.
She liked a yellow dress, picked it up, and after comparing it on herself for a moment, shook her head, then went to ask the clerk, "Excuse me, does this yellow dress have a size M?"
The clerk took a look at the dress, nodded, "Yes, please wait a moment."
Soon, the clerk came over with a size M, handed it to Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin tried comparing it to herself again, frowned, always felt unsuitable.
Thinking carefully, she hadn't bought clothes for Fanfan in a while, now no matter how she chose, it seemed unsuitable for her to wear.
Nothing seemed satisfactory no matter how she looked.
Too big is not good, too small is not good either, but she doesn't know what size would fit.
Headache.
