Just as she was about to leave, the waitress glared at her and muttered, "Cheapskate!"
Helian Qiao was immediately perturbed. "Lin Mengxi, is she calling me names?!"
Lin Mengxi quietly explained, "Fairy, usually, here in the United States, it's custom to leave a tip for the waiter."
This is a gesture to confirm and reward them for their service, though she had never received one herself.
It's not that no one had ever given her one. It was just that her boss would quickly take it away after she received it.
Alone in a foreign country, she was helpless against this practice and could only reluctantly accept it.
Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao casually took out a US dollar from her pocket and handed it to Lin Mengxi.
This utterly shocked Lin Mengxi and she quickly exclaimed, "No, no, no! Give a fifty cent coin instead!"
A whole dollar was far too much!
