“Exactly. I heard about it too. I also heard that An Xiaoning is an expert at seducing men. She has so many suitors. Ah, what’s wrong with outstanding men nowadays? There are plenty of decent women like us, yet they choose to fancy someone like her.”

“Yeah, my friend’s cousin’s mother-in-law said that she once saw An Xiaoning. She said that An Xiaoning is petite and really slender, but her figure is rather splendid. She’s curvy in all the right places. I reckon she must be great in bed. She got to where she is by sleeping with men.”

“Nah, didn’t you read the news? An Xiaoning shares the same father as our president.”

“Who knows if that’s real? Maybe he’s only her Godfather. Lots of women enjoy acknowledging godfathers nowadays. Hubby, do you think An Xiaoning is attractive?” one of the women asked loudly.

A man answered sluggishly, “She’s garbage, how is she attractive at all? She’s just an indecent whore who’s slept with countless men. I wouldn’t want her even if she paid me.”

The gossipmongers then burst into laughter.

An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan were visibly upset upon hearing their snide remarks.

Noticing that he was about to confront them, An Xiaoning stopped him and said, “Let’s eat first.”

They began eating once the waiter served the dishes, feeling rather affected by those comments.

Anger was simmering within An Xiaoning, who would never let off the people who badmouth her. She would definitely stand up to those gossipmongers for insulting her.

The two of them continued eating peacefully in an unhurried manner, taking their time to chew and savor the food.

The bunch of people sitting at the table beside theirs did not seem to be leaving soon even after An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan were done eating.

The two of them remained seated to sip on some tea after getting the tab.

They gazed at each other calmly.

At this moment, a woman sitting at the table beside theirs shrieked and bellowed, “Are you trying to scald me to death!?!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just lost my balance because this gentleman’s chair hit me all of a sudden. I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry? Call your manager here. Immediately!” the woman hollered.

Seemingly on the verge of tears, the waitress apologized and pleaded, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. Please be magnanimous and show me mercy, please?”

“Seems like you didn’t hear what I said. Hurry and get your manager here!” the woman ordered haughtily. As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and gave the waitress a tight slap.

Upon hearing the commotion, the manager approached and apologized to the woman after berating the waitress. The woman only gave in after the manager promised to serve them two dishes for free.

When Jin Qingyan stood up, An Xiaoning held him down and said, “Let me do it. I was in a bad mood today and they just made it worse for me. They’d better not blame me for being nasty, then.”

Jin Qingyan smirked and said, “It’s your time to be happy today. I’ll settle the rest.”

An Xiaoning craned her neck out of the partition screen to see that the waitress was being reprimanded. She stepped forward and glared at the manager of the restaurant. “Do you think you’re acting appropriately?” An Xiaoning questioned.

“She ought to be rebuked for committing a mistake.”

“You’ve already asked her to explain everything that happened and yet you still dare to criticize her? Did you decide to take it out on your employee and show your prowess because you didn’t dare to vent your anger on the unreasonable customers?” An Xiaoning asked with her chin raised.

“Who do you think you are? Are you in any place to interfere?” the manager snapped.

“Manager, she’s An Xiaoning,” said the waitress, who had recognized An Xiaoning.

“I don’t care who she is.”

“Call your boss here. I want to have a good chat with him,” said An Xiaoning.

“He’s not in,” said the manager.

“Call him,” An Xiaoning insisted.

“You’re just a customer, can you stop poking your nose into others’ business? I’m disciplining my employee, it has nothing to do with you at all. Just leave since you’ve already had your meal and settled the bill,” said the manager.

“I just enjoy poking my nose into others’ business. This girl here was wrongly accused in the first place, yet you’re still berating her. If you’re so gutsy, why don’t you argue with those people sitting at the table instead?”

Not wanting to argue with her any further, the manager said politely, “Miss, I won’t scold her anymore. Will that do? Can you leave now?”

An Xiaoning rolled her eyes and said, “You’re chasing me out after I’ve finished my meal? What logic is that?”

The manager had no choice but to say, “Suit yourself, then.” The manager then yelled at the waitress in a hostile manner, “What are you waiting for? Hurry and serve the dishes.”

Noticing that An Xiaoning was about to walk to the table where the gossipmongers were seated, the manager hurriedly stopped her and questioned, “What are you trying to do?”

“I’d like to have a look and see who those people are.”

“Listen up, you’d better not stir any trouble. Those customers in there are people of status. Be careful not to land yourself in hot soup,” the manager warned.

“People of status? I shall see who they are, then.”

Just as the manager was about to stop her again, he suddenly caught sight of the owner of the restaurant.

He immediately turned around to welcome him.

An Xiaoning strode toward one of the partitioned rooms.

The patrons, who were in the midst of their meal, got a great shock the moment they saw the uninvited guest, An Xiaoning,

The women immediately recognized her.

“Is that you, Ms. An?”

An Xiaoning smiled and said, “Don’t address me that way. You may just call me by my name. After all, I’ve just had a meal here,” said An Xiaoning, pointing at the door beside theirs. She continued, “I’ve already heard everything you said.”

They looked at each other in shock and dismay as an awkward silence filled the air.

“Hey, why aren’t you speaking?” said An Xiaoning, who stepped forward and slammed her hand down against the dining table, causing it to shatter into pieces along with the dishes, which was to the horror of the patrons.

Amongst the group was a middle-aged man who was paralyzed with fear and terror.

“Well, Ms. An, we didn’t mean to say those things, we were just making casual remarks. Don’t take it to heart. We’ll apologize to you,” said one of the women.

“You didn’t do it on purpose? I knew you were making those comments intentionally. Shall I make casual remarks about you too?” An Xiaoning scoffed, glancing at them.

“Ms. An, you may criticize us in any way you’d like. We won’t retort.”

“That’s surprising. You were so arrogant when you were badmouthing others and hitting the waitress. Why are you acting like a bunch of cowards now? I truly despise you guys, you have no backbone at all. How disappointing. The manager said that you’re people of status. I can’t tell at all, though. What are your names?” An Xiaoning scorned, scanning them from head to toe.

They stood rooted to the ground and held their breaths while staring at each other, not daring to speak a word at all.

“Why? Have you turned mute? Say something.”

“We’re really sorry, Ms. An. We wouldn’t dare to badmouth you again. Will you let us off? We’ll compensate you,” said one of the older women, who had an apologetic expression on her face.
