In the past few days, Qu Raner had to go home and couldn't go back, and he didn't dare to show up at the restaurant.
I don’t know who actually spread the news that Zhu Haoran took away all Qu Raner’s belongings.
After hearing the news, all the merchants who had business dealings with Qujia Restaurant rushed to ask Qu Ran'er for their accounts.
But Qu Ran'er, who had no money, had no ability to pay the bill, so he had to avoid it and let Datou and a few waiters run the restaurant on his behalf. He stayed in a small inn near his home and could only wait until there was no one around in the middle of the night.
When the time comes, you can quietly go home to pick up some daily necessities or food.
All in all, I'm living like a thief these days, not daring to see the light of day at all.
It was just getting dark that day, so Qu Raner put on a pair of coarse cloth clothes and a bamboo hat and left the inn.
She was going to find Chan'er, but two or three days had passed, and she didn't know if there was any news about Zhu Haoran from Chan'er, or whether her silver and jewelry could be recovered.
When I arrived at Chan'er's residence, the doorman who knocked on the door was still the same concierge I had seen that day.
As soon as Qu Ran'er took off her bamboo hat to reveal her true face, the concierge's face became unhappy: "Why is it you again?"
Qu Ran'er knew the principle of "The King of Hell is so troubled by little ghosts", so he smiled and said: "I...I'm looking for my cousin..."
The concierge frowned and said reluctantly: "Wait."
Then just like last time, he closed the door and went in to report. Qu Raner was anxious, but she could only wait patiently.
After a while, the concierge came back, opened the door, and said calmly: "Come with me."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Qu Ran'er smiled in apology again and hurriedly entered the house.
Under the guidance of the concierge, Qu Ran'er met Chan'er who was still dressed luxuriously in the dining room.
Qu Ran'er couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart, thinking to herself: What are you showing off for? Is it necessary to dress like this just for dinner?
But Qu Ran'er didn't dare to show it at all on the surface, and apologized to Xiao Xing: "Oh my, my sister Chan'er, I'm so sorry. I came at the wrong time and disturbed your meal..."
Chan'er said: "It doesn't matter. My cousin is not an outsider. Since she is here, let's eat together."
Qu Raner hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Chan'er immediately said to the maid next to her: "Go get a new pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Yes, ma'am." The maid Fuli agreed and went as she was told.
Soon, the maid brought a new pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Qu Ran'er.
Qu Ran'er lowered his head and looked at it. He was startled and said uneasily: "This... this bowl..."
Chan'er felt strange, so she followed Qu Ran'er's line of sight, and immediately understood why Qu Ran'er had such a reaction, because there was a very small hole on the edge of the rice bowl that the maid took.
A broken bowl, no matter how damaged it is, means that the person's business or errand, that is, the "rice bowl" is not reliable, unstable, or even a villain is in the way, so everyone is very taboo about using such a bowl.
Chan'er immediately got angry at the maid and said, "What's going on? Didn't you check the bowl carefully before taking it? How dare you bring over such a broken bowl?"
The maid was so frightened that she knelt down on the spot and kept begging Chan'er for mercy.
"Here comes someone!" Chan'er called coldly.
After the words were spoken, two male servants appeared outside the dining room door. They held their hands together and said in unison: "Madam!"
"Zhang Zui, twenty!"
Chan'er's words immediately startled Qu Ran'er beside her.
Before Qu Raner could react, the two male servants began to punish the maid.
The two divided the work and cooperated, one controlled the maid from behind, and the other stood in front and slapped the maid's face hard.
"Pah! Pah! Pah..."
Every slap in the face was so loud that it hurt to look at it.
At first, Qu Ran'er thought about giving some advice, but when she saw Chan'er's ruthless attitude, her thoughts of persuasion disappeared instantly.
The last time she saw Chan'er, Qu Ran'er only felt a change in Chan'er's appearance, but this time, Qu Ran'er felt the change in Chan'er's personality, completely subverting her previous understanding of Chan'er.
Before Chan'er could finish her glass of wine, the twenty slaps from the maid were finished, and the two male servants stood aside, waiting for Chan'er's instructions.
The beaten maid's face was already red, swollen and purple, but she still kowtowed continuously and said thanks: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam..."
"If there is another time, it won't be this little punishment!" Chan'er said coldly.
The maid shook her head vigorously and said hurriedly: "No, madam, there won't be a next time for me..."
"Go get a new bowl, otherwise how can my cousin eat?" Chan'er said nonchalantly.
The maid hurriedly agreed, stood up as quickly as possible, and ran to get a new bowl.
After getting a new bowl with no defects, the maid and the male servant were all dismissed by Chan'er.
Chan'er then picked up the chopsticks and said gently: "Cousin, it's my fault that people don't know how to do things. Don't be angry."
Qu Raner hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, shook his head and said, "No, no, no..."
Chan'er smiled slightly, then stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the dishes. At the same time, she introduced the various dishes on the table to Qu Ran'er, such as how fresh the ingredients were, how high the price was, how difficult it was to purchase, etc. In short, they were all words to show off.
Qu Ran'er wanted to ask for news about Zhu Haoran, but because of the violent scene just now, Qu Ran'er hesitated for a long time and still did not dare to interrupt, because she had already felt that Chan'er had changed and became
It's scary, it's cruel...
After Chan'er finished talking about the dishes, she asked, "Cousin, why don't you say anything?"
Qu Raner immediately said: "The food is so delicious, I...I don't even have time to talk..."
"Really..." Chan'er covered her mouth and smiled, and suddenly asked: "Cousin, do you think the food in your Qujia Restaurant is better, or the food here is better?"
Qu Ran'er replied without hesitation: "The food here must be better than Sister Chan'er's. How can the chef in my small restaurant compare with the chef hired by the patriarch, right sister...
..."
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Chan'er seemed very happy after hearing this. She raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and laughed for a while before she stopped.
As soon as the laughter stopped, Chan'er said: "Cousin, you are wrong. This dish was either made by a chef or an ugly maid."
Qu Raner suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
After a pause, Chan'er put down her chopsticks and looked at Qu Ran'er.
Qu Ran'er was shocked and quickly put down her chopsticks. She had a premonition and was quite uneasy.
"Cousin, where have you been these past few days? I sent people to look for you several times, but couldn't find you." Chan'er asked.
Qu Raner said distressedly: "Forget it, there are too many people coming to ask for money. I...I have no choice but to hide for the time being..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Ran'er woke up with a start, looked at Chan'er nervously, and asked: "Sister, you sent someone to look for me, do you have any news about that guy?"
Chan'er said: "Not only is there news, I even got the person back for you!"
Qu Raner was shocked and immediately shouted out loud: "Is it true?"
