Expressions of disgust arose.
The waiter hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Dear guests, I’ll have her leave right away…”
“Nothing to do about it, anyway! The food is so disgusting it’s inedible!” someone was still not satisfied.
The waiter waved at Su Qingyue, “Our shopkeeper isn’t here right now, so you can wait outside on the street first, so as not to scare the guests…”
Seeing the reactions of these strangers, Su Qingyue suddenly felt that although Third Brother disliked her ugliness, at least he could eat with her face in sight, and found the food delicious. In comparison, she found him quite lovely. In resignation, she said, “It’s not my fault that I’m so ugly. But it is indeed my fault that I scare people! All the fine gentlemen and beautiful ladies, please be forgiving. Only by being so ugly can I flatter how handsome you all are and show off…” pointing to an ordinary-looking woman among the guests at a table, “just how beautiful this sister is.”
The woman blushed upon hearing the compliment, “The girl is too kind.” Then she turned to her lover, “She didn’t choose to be so ugly, we shouldn’t look down on her…”
Her lover nodded, “You’re right. Yun’er, I always thought you were plain-looking. It wasn’t until today that I realized how beautiful you are.” He looked at Su Qingyue and then at his own lover, suddenly feeling that heaven had indeed been kind by bestowing him with great beauty!
The guests at the other tables exchanged glances, and compared to Su Qingyue, they instantly felt that they all looked heavenly and earth-shatteringly beautiful.
The woman named Yun’er, with her cheeks flushed from being praised by her lover, looked kindly at Su Qingyue, “Why don’t you come over and join us for a meal
“There’s no need.” Su Qingyue smiled, “Now that I know the benefits of being ugly, I’m so happy to be able to make everyone so happy. How hard it is for me.”
Big Boss Jin Xun led his followers past the entrance of Rich Source Tavern. Initially, seeing Su Qingyue being ridiculed and despised, he thought she would be kicked out. Who would have thought that she would make the whole room of guests feel over the moon with just a few words? How strange!
The waiter was also sweating cold beads. These few tables happened to be regulars, and they belonged to well-connected families in town. In case they offended them, or if they were unhappy and unwilling to pay their bills or make trouble, it wouldn’t be good. Fortunately, the ‘crisis’ had been resolved.
He quickly signaled to Su Qingyue, “Miss, please wait in the backyard. I’ll call the shopkeeper right away.”
“Fine.” Su Qingyue walked through the lobby and into the backyard. Seeing that the waiter had taken her to the backyard instead of letting her sit at a table in the lobby and serving her tea like a guest, she knew that he had looked down on her. But at most, he was just a waiter and would not dare to take matters into his hands. Oh well.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in rather sophisticated clothes was led over by the waiter.
The middle-aged man looked Su Qingyue up and down, saw her patched clothes, and realized she was a desperately poor family. Even a beggar wouldn’t wear such ragged clothes. These must have long been discarded if not for their extreme poverty.
Looking at her face covered in sores, and whatever greenish stuff she had on her, he looked at her disdainfully, “So you’re the one selling stir-fried fern?”
The waiter introduced the middle-aged man to Qingyue, standing next to them, “This is Manager Duan of our Rich Source Tavern.”
Su Qingyue responded unceremoniously, “Manager Duan knows who I am and still asks unnecessary questions..”
