Not long after, two bowls of noodles were served. Staring at the bowl of noodles, Crystal was at a loss and did not know how to eat it. Since young, she had only eaten Western food like an elegant lady and had never eaten noodles before. Matthew, on the other hand, gobbled up the noodles.
Crystal was furious but she couldn’t say anything. After all, it was her own fault for claiming that she could eat anything. Holding the chopsticks, she barely ate two bites before she couldn’t eat anymore. Feeling bored, she looked around and spotted a thin, dark-skinned man who looked like he hadn’t showered in days sneaking into the restaurant. The man glanced around and when he saw a customer get up and leave, he immediately ran over and sat in that customer’s seat.
The previous customer’s bowl hadn’t been taken away yet, so the man picked up the chopsticks and pretended to eat although there wasn’t anything left in the bowl. Seeing this, Crystal felt disgusted. Why would anyone eat other people’s leftovers?
Just then, a few people entered the restaurant. When the man saw this, he picked up his bowl and walked toward the exit. As he passed by the group of people, he purposely bumped into one of them. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, noodles and soup spilling everywhere.
The man immediately threw a fit and yelled, “Watch where you’re going! Are you blind? You made me spill my food so you’d better pay up!”
The customer who just entered was dumbfounded and thought it was his own fault so he hurriedly said, “Sir, please calm down. How much is this bowl of noodles? I’ll pay you.”
The man raised his voice and said, “I ordered extra meat, so it’s 20!”
The customer didn’t really care so he handed the man 20. After the man received the money, he ran off happily.
Meanwhile, Crystal watched the whole thing and she was furious. Lowering her voice to a whisper, she said, “Matthew, did you see that? That man just now was evil! He just tricked someone with an empty bowl!”
“Just eat your food,” Matthew commented lightly as he glanced at her. “Don’t be so nosy.”
However, Crystal was unwilling to give up. “Why can’t I be nosy? Don’t you know that we should help those who are treated unfairly? That man just bullied the customer. If I see him later, I’ll expose his lies! I’m not like you guys. Even though you don’t care about things that do not matter to you, I can’t bear to see others get tricked!”
Matthew grinned helplessly as he thought, Crystal really is quite enthusiastic sometimes.
However, before the two of them finished their meal, they saw the same man carry an old man on his back and enter the restaurant. “Excuse me, I’ll have two bowls of noodles please!” the man shouted.
A while later, two bowls of noodles were served to their table. Then, the man handed the waiter a 20 before digging in together with the old man.
Crystal saw clearly that it was the 20 that he got from tricking a customer a while ago. After a while, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “I can’t help it; I have to expose him.”
Hearing this, Matthew said in a low voice, “Stop it. Don’t interfere with other people’s business.”
Crystal immediately glared at him and argued, “How is this interfering? I’m stopping someone from doing a bad deed!”
With that, she stood up and ran to the man’s table. “Hey, how can you not feel ashamed? You tricked someone else out of their money but you seem comfortable spending it. Why does a fully capable man
with perfect working hands and legs like you, who could’ve done any work, choose to trick people out of their money? Aren’t you embarrassed of yourself?”
Looking upset, the man was angry and embarrassed. “You… Who said that I tricked someone?”
The old man, who was sitting opposite of the man, was also stunned. “W-What’s the matter? Miss, what did my son do?” novelbin
Crystal glanced at the old man and said, “You don’t know yet, do you? Your son grabbed someone else’s empty bowl and purposely dropped it to trick someone to pay up. The 20 that he just used to pay for this meal is the money he got from cheating. Do you feel at ease eating a meal paid with dirty money?”
After hearing this, the old man’s expression instantly turned worried. Trembling with anger, he slammed his fist on the table. “How could you do something like that? Since you were young, I’ve taught you to never steal, snatch or lie. How… How could you do that? Miss, I’m very sorry. I’ll… I’ll give you back the money…”
