The three of them slept straight until the afternoon, just as the sun was about to set.
"It’s this late already, let’s go eat sothing on the second floor and have a look around while we’re at it," Lin ngyao suggested, holding Xu Ke’s arm.
Yu Xia touched her stomach, it was sowhat empty, and she nodded, "I want to eat curry chicken, I’ve had too much seafood these past few days and don’t want any more." Yu Xia smiled shyly, expressing her thoughts.
"Then let’s have curry chicken, I agree that we’ve had too much seafood," Xu Ke nodded in agreent.
The three of them agreed and headed towards the second floor.
As the last restaurant on the second floor, even though it wasn’t yet dinner ti in the afternoon, the place was still packed with custors. Looking in from the outside, there were heads everywhere, making it exceptionally lively.
"There are so many people in this place, the food must be good," Yu Xia whispered, pursing her lips.
"Then let’s go to this one," Xu Ke concluded.
"I just wonder if there are any seats left with so many people here," Lin ngyao had no objection, and she wrapped an arm around each of them as they walked into the restaurant.
Xu Ke and his group were quite lucky, as there happened to be seats available when they went in.
"Please follow inside, the three of you," a waitress said with a warm smile, leading the way, but trouble arose behind Xu Ke, stopping them in their tracks.
"Sorry, miss, but all our seats are full right now. Please wait a mont, and we will call you when a spot opens up," a staff mber said with so apology to the girl in front.
"Don’t lie to , I saw before I ca in, there is clearly a seat available inside," the woman said with her head held high and a sharp look on her face.
"The seat you ntioned was given to the three guests who ca before you; there really are no places now. If there were, we certainly wouldn’t stop you, as we’re here to do business as well, how could we turn away custors," the staff mber said with a sincere yet troubled expression.
"Those three over there, it’s them, right?" The woman rudely pointed a polished pink fingernail at Xu Ke’s group.
The staff mber nodded, "So right now, we really don’t have any seats available. Please wait a bit, we estimate there will be seats in ten or so minutes."
The woman didn’t listen to what the staff said. She pushed the person aside and grabbed Yu Xia’s arm with unexpected force, pulling the unprepared Yu Xia into a stumble. If she hadn’t been holding onto Lin ngyao, she might have fallen. But the woman who was pulling her seed oblivious, arrogantly saying to Xu Ke’s group, "You need to give that seat to us."
Xu Ke cast a cold glance at the woman’s hand holding Yu Xia’s arm and said in a steady tone, "Let go of her hand and apologize."
Hearing Xu Ke’s words, the woman appeared to hear the biggest joke ever, sneering with disbelief on her face. "Ha, what did you say? You want to apologize to her?" The woman pointed her sharp nail at her own nose, "Did I hear you right? You want to apologize to her? Who does she think she is, what makes you think I should apologize to her?" The woman was defiant.
Soon, the woman seed to understand sothing, let go of Yu Xia’s arm but crossed her own arms in a superior manner, looking down on the three of them, "I know what you’re trying to do, isn’t it just a ploy to ask for money? I’ve t many people like you. Just say, how much money will it take for you to give the seat?"
The woman took out a pink leather wallet from her bag and looked at the three.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Are you thinking about how much? Don’t worry, I’m soone with nothing but money, I don’t care about your little bit. So just say how much, I don’t have ti to waste with you here, better just get straight to the point." The woman said impatiently.
"Ha, who doesn’t have a few lousy bucks? Waving money at us as if you own the place, who do you think you are?" Lin ngyao retaliated without restraint, her eyes extrely critical, the disdain in her gaze practically cutting into the woman.
"Oh, dare to look at like that, who gave you the right to look at this way? Initially, I thought of giving you so money to leave, but now I’ve changed my mind. The stinking money you ntioned, I don’t want to give you a cent, yet you still need to disappear from my sight." The woman’s eyes seed to harbor fire, wanting to burn Lin ngyao alive.
Xu Ke stepped in front of Lin ngyao, shielding her, and impatiently told the woman, "If you can understand human speak, then stay away from us. We won’t give up the seat, so stop wasting your ti, it won’t work."
The woman was so angry at Xu Ke’s attitude that she was panting. Seeing Xu Ke about to leave with Yu Xia and Lin ngyao, the woman suddenly found strength from who knows where and grabbed Xu Ke’s arm, raising her other hand high. At that mont, she only had one thought; she wanted to beat this man who gave her no face, and she wouldn’t let those two won behind him, who looked like vixens, off either.
The woman’s strength was heavy, but Xu Ke intercepted and pushed away the arm she swung down.
Xu Ke used considerable force, and the woman’s high heels twisted sharply with the body’s inertia, causing her to fall on the ground, her tailbone hitting the floor heavily, and her expression changed instantly due to the pain.
"Ahhhhhh!" The woman sat on the ground, pounding the floor with her bag and letting out a piercing scream, "You actually pushed , even pushed to the ground, how dare you, how dare you treat like this," the woman shouted angrily, her voice sharp like a knife scraping people’s eardrums. Those who heard her, especially those closest, couldn’t help but frown with displeasure.
"Who are you, if you have the guts, tell your na, I’ll make you pay for this. I want to throw you off this cruise ship and feed you to the fish," the woman said, her eyes full of a vicious threat.
"How can you be like this, unreasonable and still blaming others," Yu Xia tightly gripped Lin ngyao’s arm, speaking much louder than usual. Her pale face flushed red with anger, looking quite upset, yet her furious appearance was far better looking than the woman’s twisted face.
