Don't take it to heart

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Ling Fen was at the moment stupefied. Who was this stranger who was protecting her? Why was he protecting her?

She looked at him up and down. His lips were thin and they were turned down into a frown. His face was impeccable. She had to admit that she had never seen someone as handsome as this stranger standing in front of her.

She had not noticed it before but the man's back was wet from the soup earlier. This sight made her feel somewhat guilty but she did not know how to start a conversation with the other to ask him if it hurt or not.

Based on how her burnt hand was now as red as blood she could not help but imagine what the other's back looked like right now.

That matter aside, Xiao Lu was currently seeking justice for herself. She knew Mo Yurou because she knew Ling Wen. They say that birds of a feather flock together and she believed the two became friends only because they were similar in a way.

She wanted to tell him that it was okay but she heard him say, "Miss Mo, how are you going to compensate for your behavior against my employee. Xiao Lu's back was straight and although he was gentle, Ling Fen noticed that his eyes were far from being friendly.

At the moment, the two slits were gentle but they held a ferociousness that Ling Fen had never seen before.

Mo Yurou was feeling the pressure coming off from Xiao Lu's words that she became tongue-tied, unable to spout a single word.

Ling Wen on the other hand rose up and spoke to Xiao Lu, "Manager Lu, we have been waiting for you." Her tone was light, it was as if she did not speak at all yet Xiao Lu's brows rose ever so slightly. "You've been waiting for me?"

Ling Wen nodded her head, "Yes. We could not believe the service being offered to us so we asked for you, unfortunately, you were not around."

Xiao Lu laughed. His laughter was not with a hint of humor, it was the kind that could send a chill down someone's spine, "Oh! You were waiting for me...well, here I am please do tell me what happened."

Ling Wen nodded in satisfaction. This was after all a small hotel and the staff should behave just like this Xiao Lu. She did not know that the man she was calling a staff was actually the owner of the hotel.

"Your staffs are disrespectful manager Lu. Not only did they serve us the food we did not order, they also put on airs around us. My sister here was teaching one a lesson when you got in right now. Manager Lu, is there anything wrong with teaching a disobedient servant a lesson?"

Her words were haughty and said with pride. Everybody who heard what she said put their head down in anger at her lies.

Xiao Lu nodded while Lin Fen's heart sank. This sister of hers was too much. In one statement she had removed the blame from herself and onto innocent people.

"Why are you lying? You are the ones who returned the food even when we brought what you ordered. No one has ever complained about our food before but you two just had to….had to…." Yu Lili said as she got closer.

Now that she had cried, she was feeling much better and when she heard the other calling black white; she could not stop herself from speaking up.

Ling Wen's face changed, "You are calling me a liar, is this how you treat your customers?"

Yu Lili frowned, ready to retort when he noticed Xiao Lu's gaze stopping her from speaking. She could only purse her lips in anger.

Ling Wen turned to Ling Fen and saw the bruise on her hand. She could not help but gloat internally. When Mo Yurou was bullying the other, she did not step up and help but she just watched the ordeal with a joyful heart. "Sister, Mo Yurou was only teaching you a lesson, don't take it to heart okay?"

Everyone became speechless. Ling Fen was burnt from the lesson Ling Wen was talking about so how could she not take it to heart.

Ling Wen was in the middle of fighting for Mo Yurou when she heard a chilly laughter

"Hehe…."
