Chapter 10: Pain, Pain!
"Yes, I know!" Shi Caining said calmly. She had just cooked seven dishes in one go and had been standing for almost two hours. Her hands had not stopped at all.
She was now as tired as a dog, but she had no choice but to give in to reality.
Reality was really cruel. It had turned Shi Caining into a small figure who was constantly in fear.
Shi Caining followed Manager Zhang out of the kitchen. She wanted to see how they were going to smash her plate this time...
The dark-faced Manager Zhang's expression softened the moment he walked out of the hall. When he went to knock on Room No. 9, his face had already changed into a smile like that of a god of wealth.
The door was opened. Shi Caining lowered her head and faintly felt that someone was staring at her.
"Young Master Qiao, Miss Qiao, I'm really sorry. What happened was our negligence. We promise that there will be no more mistakes like this. Shi Caining, why aren't you coming over quickly to apologize?" Manager Zhang shouted in a low voice.
Shi Caining's heart thumped. All the blood in her body seemed to be frozen. The word 'Young Master Qiao' had pierced into her heart. It hurt. It really hurt.
She slowly raised her eyes.
There were about ten people sitting in the private room. Each of them was a man and a woman who were all well dressed and exuding a noble aura.
The most dazzling person was the young man who was sitting at the back and facing Shi Caining.
The young man looked at Shi Caining coldly. His deep and serene eyes were filled with a frightening coldness.
He was still the same as five years ago. He was so handsome, so dazzling, and his light blue hair was eye-catching.
Five years ago, she had taken a liking to him at first glance.
Five years later, she saw him at first glance!
Her ex-boyfriend, Qiao Chengchuan, that gentle youth, had grown into a cold and unfamiliar man. The heart-wrenching wound between them would never heal for the rest of their lives.
"Caining, what are you still standing there for?"
Manager Zhang's voice pulled Shi Caining back to reality.
She came back to her senses. At this moment, she could no longer cry.
She only lowered her head and stopped looking at the others. She said softly, "I'm sorry, what happened today was my fault. Everyone, please forgive me."
"You have the right to ask us to forgive you? Heh, how ridiculous!" A shrill female voice rang out, piercing deeply into Shi Caining's heart.
"Tsk, Shi Caining, I didn't expect that after five years, you would actually live like a dog. Heheh!" Someone laughed sarcastically. That was Qiao Chengnan's good friend.
"Hmph, with her beauty, she should have gone to seduce a rich man. Could it be that she has changed her character?"
"Exactly, how shameless. This dish is probably made this way because she didn't pay attention and seduced a man in the kitchen, right?"
Their words became more and more unpleasant to the ears. Shi Caining bit her thin lips tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Manager Zhang was stunned. He did not expect that this group of young masters and young ladies from S City would have a grudge against Shi Caining!
"Shi Caining, why don't you go and die? My second brother was killed by you, you slut!" A yellow-clothed woman screamed in excitement. She grabbed a tall wine glass on the dining table and fiercely threw it at Shi Caining!
With a muffled sound, Shi Caining's forehead was heavily hit by the wine glass thrown by the woman. The wine glass broke before it fell, leaving a shocking bloody scar on her forehead.
Shi Caining raised her eyes and stubbornly said, "It wasn't me! I didn't seduce your second brother!"
"Slut! How dare you retort! How dare you stare at me!" The yellow-clothed woman had an angry expression as she picked up the plate of Jade Spring Duck and threw it at Shi Caining.
