The two people looked at the smile on Xu Ke’s face and felt a sense of foreboding. They realized that Xu Ke’s gaze was fixed on sothing behind them.
Just as they were about to turn around to see what Xu Ke was looking at, a sowhat familiar female voice ca from behind them, carrying a hint of calm before the storm.
"Oh? You two are quite impressive, aren’t you? I didn’t know that the master of the He Family was decided by two waiters."
He Qing had just managed to get away from soone who had approached her for a conversation and wanted to introduce Xu Ke to everyone, hoping that it might make future encounters easier for him. But as she turned her head, she saw Xu Ke surrounded by two waiters and overheard their conversation as she approached.
He Qing’s expression beca particularly unpleasant because of their words. She had invited Xu Ke to her birthday party to help him expand his social network, not so that he could be humiliated by two waiters.
Moreover, Xu Ke was her guest today, so anyone offending him was also offending her.
The two waiters hadn’t expected to be so unlucky. Just as they were being harsh with Xu Ke, they ran into He Qing.
Their faces turned pale with fear, starkly different from their previously arrogant deanor, as if they had suddenly beco different people.
"Miss," one of the waiters stamred, trying to smile ingratiatingly at He Qing.
The other quickly chid in, "Miss, it was all a misunderstanding, we were just joking."
He Qing was never one to be particularly gentle. Though she had a sweet appearance, her personality was anything but. She only gave off a sweet aura to those she liked.
To everyone else, she was always the high and mighty Princess. Let alone two waiters, why would they deserve the Princess’s favor?
He Qing showed no rcy as she raised her hand and slapped each of them.
The party was originally organized for He Qing, and though she managed to avoid all the toasts directed at her, she was still the center of the party. Everyone’s eyes were following her, so naturally, they saw her hitting the waiters.
Many had a good impression of He Qing beforehand, and so even considered tying the knot with her, as she seed generous and affable, and her looks added to her charm, attracting many.
But the scene that had just unfolded made many people rethink their intentions of marriage.
He Qing knew people were watching her, but she didn’t care.
She looked at the two waiters with a look of extre disdain. "What? In your eyes, am I, He Qing, a fool? Joking? Who are you to joke with him like this? And why do you think you can make such inappropriate jokes with him?"
"Make sure you understand your positions. You are rely waiters hired by the He Family, while he is a guest of mine, He Qing. Are your offensive words to my guest intended as a slight against personally, or against the He Family?"
He Qing’s words were harsh, and the already frightened pair was even more terrified, their knees giving way as they fell to the ground.
"It’s not that, we definitely didn’t an that. We know we were wrong, and we’ll never do it again. Please, just give us another chance," one waiter pleaded, feeling as if all the blood in his body had gone cold.
They grovelled continuously on the ground, begging He Qing for rcy, but all they got in return was a cold stare.
The two quickly turned their heads towards Xu Ke, kneeling in front of him and even bowing several tis, repeatedly pleading with him to intercede with He Qing, hoping Xu Ke would let the matter go and spare them.
Xu Ke watched their behavior, his mouth curling into a slight smile, and the waiters, seeing his smile, had faint glimrs of hope in their eyes, little knowing that the next mont would be as sharp as a blade.
"We’re all adults here. You should be able to take responsibility for your choices and actions. That’s not how you acted when you humiliated earlier. I’m not one to return kindness for enmity—an old saying goes, ’If you repay enmity with kindness, how will you repay kindness?’ Consider today a lesson for you; in the future, rember not to look down on others or judge them by their appearance," Xu Ke said calmly.
Seeing that Xu Ke had made up his mind and wouldn’t intercede, their expressions imdiately beca downcast, as if they were suddenly burdened, visibly becoming more gaunt.
"Take these two out. I don’t want to see them at any future He Family events," He Qing said.
He Qing’s words essentially cut off their path as waiters, but they didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction, not even a hint of resentnt on their faces.
Just before the two waiters were about to be evicted, a girl with a look of purity in her attire approached.
"Miss He, don’t you find this decision too harsh? I’m sure they didn’t an it. Who hasn’t said sothing wrong at so point in their life? Ruining soone’s career over a few inappropriate words seems a bit much, doesn’t it?" the girl innocently asked He Qing.
"I can see they’ve truly realized their mistake. How about we just dock their pay this ti as punishnt? This way, they learn their lesson without harming your reputation. I believe if this gentleman truly cares for you, he would agree with this approach, right?"
The girl shifted her gaze to Xu Ke. She was initially surprised by his appearance, but rembering his identity, the amazent faded from her eyes.
Although she hid it well, Xu Ke wasn’t a fool and could see through her little sches.
Xu Ke didn’t dislike smart people, but he always disliked those who thought they were clever, and this girl’s behavior seed smart yet stupid; using him and He Qing’s reputation to advance herself wouldn’t work.
Not to ntion that this was the He Family’s territory—just the power of the He Family was beyond her to provoke. Moreover, He Qing’s father and brother were present, who had long been adept in the business world. Using such petty tricks under their watch was simply courting trouble.
The people present weren’t fools either, and even if they didn’t understand now, they would later realize her actions were rely self-destructive—like an old man tying a noose, tired of living.
Xu Ke didn’t follow her lead, rely looking at her with eyes that seed to smile, making her involuntarily frown.
