The waitress glanced at Tang Su. Tang Su was a pragmatist; her romantic relationship with Ye Sichen had ended, but that didn't change the fact that Ye Sichen was still a customer of the coffee shop in a social context.
As long as he placed an order and bought coffee from her shop, she'd sell it.
If he wasn't bothered about feeling awkward, there was even less reason for her to be.
"Go take the order, and don't forget to take the money," Tang Su said.
"Yes, Miss Tang." After the waitress took the order, she passed the QR code to Ye Sichen for him to scan.
"Tang Su, are you so fixated on money now?" Ye Sichen said, speechless.
Before, Tang Su used to treat him to a free cup of coffee every noon, and when she had time, she'd even brew it for him herself. This was the first time he had to pay for coffee in Tang Su's coffee shop.
"Mr. Ye, you order, we take the order and collect the money; it's what we should earn. What do you mean by 'fixated on money'? Have you become addicted to taking advantage after drinking free coffee for so long?"
"You—"
Ye Sichen's face turned unsightly. He knew Tang Su was always sharp-tongued, but he never expected that one day she would use that sharp tongue against him.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was still Tang Feng's sister, Ye Sichen wouldn't be humbling himself before her.
"Tang Su, do you know why that guy named Chen Guang came to apologize to you? On the day of the incident, he was hiding and didn't show up, but a few days later he came to apologize. Haven't you wondered why?"
"What else could it be? The man's family had an elderly person who fell, and he's been at the hospital without time to apologize these past few days—seems perfectly reasonable, right?"
"Ha, Tang Feng used to tell me he has a foolish younger sister, I never believed him, but today, I really do."
"Ye Sichen, speak properly, don't insult me," Tang Su said bluntly.
"There's hope for you yet if you can tell I'm scolding you. Tang Su, I'm telling you, that Chen Guang is not a good person. Don't believe the sob story he sold you. I'm informing you, it's not the first time his big dog has killed a small dog. I've already joined forces with the other residents and hired a professional lawyer; we're going to make him and his dog leave Hua City."
Tang Su: "..."
"So what about before, when you said that your community doesn't allow large dogs. You didn't believe a word I said that day; have you forgotten?" Tang Su recalled the doubt Ye Sichen had shown her that day.
She had fought desperately to save Tiantian but wasn't successful. Tiantian being killed wasn't something she wanted to see either, but that day, not only did Ye Sichen say hurtful things, but he had also slapped her.
He had crossed her line.
"I found out later after investigating and interviewing - you know I'm busy with work, and I hardly ever check the community chat where they gossip."
"You don't need to explain anything to me. You came here just to make sure I don't forgive that dog owner, right?"
"He doesn't deserve forgiveness," Ye Sichen said.
"Alright then, I promise you, I won't sign any letter of forgiveness," Tang Su said.
Ye Sichen looked at her. He actually liked Tang Su—she wasn't cunning or capricious like other women. Not only did she lack these faults, but she was also understanding and rarely got angry.
"I'm not working overtime tonight; let me take you to dinner," Ye Sichen suddenly said.
Upon hearing his suddenly gentle tone, Tang Su's mouth formed a stunned 'O' shape.
"Ye Sichen, are you misunderstanding something? I agreed not to sign the letter of forgiveness, and that's all. As for you slapping me, I can't get over it, not in this lifetime."
"Do you really want to break up with me?" Ye Sichen couldn't believe her resolute attitude.
They had both met each other's parents, hadn't they?
His parents were quite pleased with her, and she was also Tang Feng's sister. Shouldn't you respect the Buddha for the monk's sake?
Moreover, he had apologized several times. Sun Qing had called the police for her, she had asked for an apology, he had apologized, she wanted compensation, and he had given fifty thousand, even if she donated it to the hospital right in front of him, he didn't mind the fifty thousand.
He had let go of all these matters; could they not make up for that impulsive slap?
"Or what? Continue to spend the New Year with a scumbag like you? Your language teacher must have taught you what 'cut your losses' means, right?"
"Fine, Tang Su, you'd better always be this tough, and never come begging to me."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you, Mr. Ye."
"Hmph—"
Ye Sichen stood up just as the waitress brought over the coffee he had ordered, "Your coffee is ready."
"Give it to your boss."
After saying that, Ye Sichen stormed out.
