This World Is Really Small

The originally noisy noodle shop had become so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Looking at the girl who had kicked the person down, she didn't seem to be a ferocious person. On the contrary, she had an elegant and quiet temperament. She just stood there indifferently, as if all of this had nothing to do with her and she was just a bystander.

Yet, the person who had kicked the person down and controlled this mess was her.

Forget about the others, even Jiang Rui was looking at Shi Yan in shock.

In her mind, Shi Yan was a very gentle person. The kind of reserved and delicate posture associated with a well-born young lady was vividly displayed on Shi Yan. She often wore a gentle smile on her face and greeted everyone with a smile. At least, Jiang Rui had never seen her cold face since they first met.

She never thought that Shi Yan would directly make a move... 

Shi Yan was actually more decisive and direct in handling things than she was.

"What are you doing? !"

Finally reacting, Xuan Wan Rou raised her head and glared at Shi Yan.

"It's you again!"

Obviously, she recognized Shi Yan.

Xuan Liuying, who had stopped crying due to fear, also recognized her. Just as she was about to speak, Xuan Wan Rou did not give her a chance. 

She said angrily to Shi Yan first, "I told you to mind your own business here!"

"Mind your own business?" Shi Yan did not have any expression on her face. "I don't have the heart to do that," she said.

She glanced at the table that had been knocked down, "I was sitting here eating with my friend just now, and I almost got hurt by accident. Don't you even know how to apologize?"

Only then did the onlookers come to their senses. Looking at the mess in front of them, they thought that if the two girls had not dodged quickly, they would have been hurt by accident. Not only did the culprit not apologize in time, but she also continued to push.

She looked like a decent little girl, but why was her attitude so bad?!

With this thought, someone started to criticize her.

"She's right. You almost hurt someone by accident. Why don't you apologize? It's fine if you don't apologize, but you're still making a scene. This is a public place, not your home!"

"She looks pretty and clean too. Why is her attitude so bad?"

"Judging from your age, you should be a high school student. Is this what a high school student is like? If this was my child, she would have broken her leg long ago!"

"I saw her pushing people as soon as she entered the door. I don't know what kind of deep hatred she has for this waitress."

"What deep hatred? Didn't she just say that the waitress embarrassed her? I think she's a relative."

"What relative? I think it's most likely a mother and daughter. The vain daughter brought her friends over to eat, and when she saw her biological mother working as a waitress in the shop, she felt embarrassed and flew into a rage out of humiliation."

"You really sound like you mean it when you say it like that. Everyone says that children don't mind ugly women or dogs or poor families. Raising such an ingrate daughter is also terrible!"

..

Hearing these discussions and accusations, Xuan Liuying felt so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her face. As for Xuan Wan Rou, her face was flushed red. It was unknown whether she was ashamed or angry.

The two girls who had entered the shop with her just now silently took a few steps back and stayed away from her.

Seeing this, Xuan Wan Rou realized that the perfect goddess image that she had worked so hard to build was ruined, just like that.

"Xuan Xuan, Ya'er, I..."

The two girls took another two steps back.

They looked at Xuan Wan Rou with disdain in their eyes. They wanted to turn around and leave, but… 

They saw Jiang Rui.

They were very surprised.

Jiang Rui was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. How could she come to such a small noodle shop to eat? 

"Jiang Rui, what a coincidence," one of the girls smiled and greeted Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui was still standing beside Xuan Liuying and supporting her. She nodded at the girl as a response.

Shi Yan looked at the interaction between the few of them and turned her gaze to Jiang Rui.

"High school classmates," Jiang Rui smiled and explained to her.

Shi Yan understood.

This world was really small.

However, this greeting made Xuan Wan Rou's face suddenly turn pale.

Jiang Rui?!

Why was she here?! Why would a rich young lady like Jiang Rui eat in such a low-end noodle shop?!

In school, Jiang Rui was superior to her in both looks and grades. Since Jiang Rui was the young lady of the Jiang family, in everyone's eyes, Jiang Rui was a goddess who was beautiful, kind, and had excellent grades. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Rui prided herself on being noble and didn't get close to other students, there wouldn't be a place for her in school!

After her painstaking efforts, she had finally become the campus goddess that was as famous as Jiang Rui. In the school, everyone knew that she and Jiang Rui were rivals, and they were compared everywhere.

Now she had lost so much face in front of her rival!

Why did it happen that the people who asked her out today were Zhao Xuan and Hu Yueya, who had met her mother on the street when they were shopping together? If they had not asked her out today, she would not have lost her mind when she saw her embarrassing mother working as a waitress in the shop just now!

She did not even realize that Jiang Rui was here!

Seeing Xuan Wan Rou staring at her with her eyes wide open and her face pale, Jiang Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be an acquaintance.

"I also didn't expect that Xuan Wan Rou, the delicate goddess that many boys and girls adore, would have such a... Er, free and easy side outside."

The words "free and easy" sounded extremely ironic in this situation.

Under everyone's gaze, Xuan Wan Rou's face alternated between red and white.

She wanted to deny that this waitress was her mother, but Zhao Xuan and Hu Yueya knew the truth! She could not deny it at all!

Now, not only did Zhao Xuan and Hu Yueya know that she was not some rich girl and her mother was also a lowly waitress, but even Jiang Rui, her sworn enemy, knew about it!

With a face full of shame and anger, she glared fiercely at Xuan Liuying.

It was all her fault!

If she had not met her last time on the street, she would not have stopped her in front of Zhao Xuan and Hu Yueya and asked if she still had the money to spend, exposing that she was her real mother. She would not be so embarrassed now!

Meeting her vicious gaze, Xuan Liuying's pupils constricted, and she staggered back two steps.

With remorse and sadness, she shouted, "Wan RAou..."

"Don't call me!"

"What are you doing?"

It was the owner of the noodle shop.

He had been busy in the kitchen, but he had already heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen. However, before he could lose his temper, he was shocked by Shi Yan's decisive kick. Only now did he come back to his senses.

"Sister Xuan, I asked you to help in the shop because I felt sorry for you. You've only been here for two days, and you've already caused me so much trouble. You're really good!"

"I'm sorry, Boss. I'm really sorry. I'll compensate you for the damage caused to your shop. I'm really sorry, "Xuan Liuying repeatedly bowed and apologized.

Then, she kept bowing to Shi Yan and Jiang Rui, "I'm sorry. I almost hurt you guys by accident."

Then, she turned to the others in the shop, "I'm really sorry. My daughter is not sensible and has caused trouble for everyone..."

The woman was very thin. Her figure was a little hunched, and her face was full of vicissitudes. She was wearing an ordinary waiter's uniform and a pair of worn-out shoes. Just now, she had been pushed to the table and fell to the ground. No one knew if she was injured, but she could not care about herself and wholeheartedly apologized for her daughter's mistake.

As for her daughter, she was wearing a white dress, small leather shoes, and a small bag on her back. She was beautifully dressed, and she just stood there and watched.

This scene made everyone feel very complicated.

How could someone have such a ruthless daughter?
