Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Inside the Starry Night Restaurant, Lin Qian was extremely busy.

"Lin Qian, go and clean up the VIP table."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lin Qian worked quickly and cleaned up in no time.

As soon as she stood up, Lin Qian saw a customer ordering food on the screen, so she quickly grabbed the menu and rushed to VIP Room 3.

Push open the door to the private room.

She paused for a moment when she saw the guest.

Xu Feier and Xia Tingshi were sitting there, watching her.

Xia Tingshi wore a black velvet Chanel princess dress and an expensive pearl necklace, looking elegant and noble.

Xu Feier looked up and saw Lin Qian, then exaggeratedly covered her mouth:

"Good heavens, Lin Qian? What a coincidence! What are you doing here part-time? You're a top student from Imperial University, aren't you? Working such a lowly job as a waitress, aren't you ashamed?"

Lin Qian did not do as they wished. Instead, she said expressionlessly, "There is no such thing as a high or low job. It's just a job to make money."

The voice was completely calm, without the slightest ripple.

Xu Feier gave her a pitying look, "That's what you say, but you look so pitiful right now."

Xia Tingshi spoke up at the opportune moment, appearing kind and understanding, and asked, "Qianqian, are you short of money right now? Should we ask my dad for help?"

Lin Qian's tone was calm, but her eyes were as cold as ice. "I don't have a father at all."

From the moment she learned that her father had abandoned her mother, the role of "father" had never appeared in Lin Qian's life.

Xu Feier's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. "Haven't you hooked up with Lu Beiting yet? Well, Lu Beiting is so generous. If you really hooked up with him, why would you be working as a waitress here? Someone from a family like his would choose Sister Shishi for marriage; it's all about matching social status."

She curled her red lips into a smirk, her eyes filled with malice: "Lin Qian, if you're short of money, just beg me, and maybe I'll give you a few thousand if I'm in a good mood?"

Lin Qian's gaze fell on her bag, and she sneered, "You like carrying fake goods so much, what are you pretending to be rich for?"

"What did you say? Who's carrying counterfeit goods?!"

Xu Feier's face instantly turned ugly when her secret was exposed.

Enraged, she stood up abruptly, grabbed a glass of orange juice, and splashed it on Lin Qian's face without hesitation.

The orange-yellow liquid traced an arc in the air.

Lin Qian quickly took a step back, but before she could completely dodge, the juice splashed all over her chest, soaking a large area of ​​her white shirt.

A smug glint flashed in Xu Feier's eyes. "How about that? Who told you to splash me last time?"

The next second, Lin Qian raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed in the private room.

"Ah—" Xu Feier was thrown to the ground, half of her face instantly twisted from the slap.

She covered her face in disbelief, her voice shrill: "Fine, how dare you hit me? No one has ever dared to hit me before! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

"Threatening me?"

Lin Qian approached step by step, looking down at her. "I have a photo of you hugging Manager Zhao. He's married. If you dare to complain about me, I won't hesitate to post it in the grade group chat of No. 1 Middle School, so everyone can see how you act like a mistress, just like Ye Miaomiao!"

Actually, she didn't have any photos; she just overheard Chen Xiaopan saying that she saw the two of them hugging and cuddling in the bathroom.

But as expected, this remark seemed to have stepped on Xu Feier's tail.

Xu Feier screamed, "You!!" but dared not say anything more.

Xia Tingshi's gaze fell on Lin Qian's back, as if she had seen something, and she immediately pretended to be wronged, playing the role of the good guy:

"Lin Qian, let's talk this out. How could you hit Fei'er? That's wrong."

Then, there was another "smack"!

Lin Qian slapped Xia Tingshi hard across the face again.

"Who gave you permission to speak? What are you pretending to be, playing the good guy?"

From childhood to adulthood, Xia Tingshi has always been a perfect, high-and-mighty little princess, able to have whatever she wanted, command the wind and rain, and countless people vying to be her servants or the knives in her hands.

Ye Miaomiao and Xu Feier targeted Lin Qian only to curry favor with Xia Tingshi.

Xia Tingshi, on the other hand, doesn't have to do anything; she can simply sit back and enjoy everything with a smile.

Lin Qian was standing up for her past self who had been bullied, and fighting back on behalf of her former self.

Xia Tingshi covered her face in pain, "How...how could you hit me? That's too much!"

"Excessive?" Lin Qian sneered, finally feeling a sense of satisfaction. "When you used to let others beat me, why didn't you think you were going too far?"

Xia Tingshi immediately covered her face in grievance, her eyes red and delicate, "Brother Beiting... Waaah, it hurts so much..."

Brother Beiting?

Lin Qian paused for two seconds, her body stiffened, and she immediately turned her head.

Lu Beiting was standing behind her with great interest, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

He chuckled twice, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Truly brilliant."

Xia Tingshi immediately shed a few crystal tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Brother Beiting, I don't know why, but Lin Qian always seems to dislike me. She even hit me just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Beiting took off his expensive suit jacket and draped it over Lin Qian, covering the large wet patch on her chest.

He helped her adjust her coat, "It's wet."

Lin Qian paused, but did not refuse his kindness, and said softly, "Thank you."

His burning body heat and familiar suede scent still lingered on her suit, as if he himself had embraced her from behind.

Xia Tingshi stared in disbelief as Lu Beiting draped a coat over Lin Qian, her face deathly pale and her voice trembling:

"Brother Beiting... she... she hit me."

Lu Beiting frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Does it hurt?"

Xia Tingshi nodded sadly, and I murmured pitifully, "It hurts so much~"

Lu Beiting's eyes turned slightly cold. "Who asked you?"

"……."

Lu Beiting asked Lin Qian, "Does your hand hurt?"

Lin Qian shook her head. "It was alright, but I enjoyed fanning myself!"

Xia Tingshi looked on incredulously, "Brother Beiting, you clearly saw her hit me just now!"

Lu Beiting's eyes turned cold. "I didn't say it directly before because of my parents' sake. Your behavior is disgusting."

Xia Tingshi's face stiffened. "Wh...what?"

"And the way you address me," Lu Beiting's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, "is also quite disgusting."

After saying that, he grabbed Lin Qian's wrist and forcefully led her away, leaving no room for refusal.

The door to the private room slammed shut.

Xia Tingshi was stunned.

She stared blankly at their disappearing figures, muttering in disbelief:

"How could this be? Brother Beiting actually called me disgusting and said I was repulsive because of her? How could he do this to me...?"

The most heartbreaking thing is being called "disgusting" to your face by someone you like.

"Bei Ting..." Xia Tingshi cried, unable to catch her breath.

Suddenly, everything went black, and she fainted from anger.

"Sister Shishi!" Xu Feier rushed to her side, shouting, "Are you alright?!"

Outside the corridor, Lu Beiting still held Lin Qian's wrist as he strode inside.

Lin Qian had to jog to keep up with his speed.

Her heart raced, and she instinctively pulled her suit jacket tighter around herself. "Lu Beiting, where are you taking me?"
