Chapter 420: Chapter 421: If You Don’t Act, You Won’t Die
“I’m the owner of this restaurant, do you think I have the right to speak?” In front of Gu Qing’er, the restaurant owner was bowing and scraping like a servant, but in front of Zhou Chengyin, he wouldn’t act like this.
Zhou Chengyin’s eyebrows twitched, he… he’s actually the restaurant owner?
After he and Chen Qingxue entered the restaurant, all the attention was on Chen Qingxue. He had been with Chen Qingxue for a long time, but he had only held her hand. He originally planned to use this opportunity for both to get drunk, and then cook everything until it’s done, so he didn’t notice the restaurant owner. In fact, the owner was quite active in the restaurant.
“Are you really the restaurant owner?” Zhou Chengyin asked cautiously.
“Of course I am, now hurry up and get lost.” The restaurant owner said coldly.
“I’m also a customer, you have no right to make me leave. Aren’t you afraid I will give your restaurant a bad review for saying that?” Zhou Chengyin thought customers were gods in their eyes, so he had no fear.
The restaurant owner sneered, indeed all who entered his restaurant were his customers, but there were differences among customers, like Zhou Chengyin and Gu Qing’er, how could he compare with Gu Qing’er?
“Young man, you’ve blindly offended Miss Gu. You better leave quickly and find a temple to pray that Miss Gu will spare you.” The restaurant owner said.
Miss Gu?
Zhou Chengyin tilted his head and glanced at Gu Qing’er. This Miss Gu seemed very powerful, even the restaurant owner had to look at her face, but she’s so young, what’s so powerful about her?
Gu…
Miss Gu.
Zhou Chengyin gradually developed a suspicion about Gu Qing’er’s identity.
In Jiang City, someone who could be called Miss Gu, could she be from the Gu Family?
Gu Qing’er!
Zhou Chengyin shook his head subconsciously, that’s impossible, Gu Qing’er wouldn’t come to such a restaurant to eat. She belonged to the top family in Jiang City.
But even the restaurant owner had to treat her with caution, who other than Gu Qing’er could she be?
Now Zhou Chengyin was a bit panicked, his legs gradually softened, and his face began to turn pale.
Seeing the change on Zhou Chengyin’s face, Su Changfeng knew that Zhou Chengyin had guessed Gu Qing’er’s identity. Su wondered what that boy might be feeling at the moment, probably regretting bitterly.
Zhou Chengyin glanced at Gu Qing’er and then at Su Changfeng. With his status, it seemed impossible for him to know someone as important as Gu Qing’er.
The situation had come to this point, and Zhou Chengyin still held a glimmer of hope that this girl wasn’t Gu Qing’er. Otherwise, having offended the Gu Family’s eldest daughter, he might no longer be able to stand in Jiang City.
“What’s your name?” Gu Qing’er suddenly said.
Zhou Chengyin felt a current running through his body, his scalp felt like it was exploding. Was Gu Qing’er intending to check his background?
“Gu… Miss Gu, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know you were here dining, truly sorry.” Zhou Chengyin’s face was incredibly pale, and his mind was blank, unable to imagine what consequences could follow.
“Aren’t I a dog in your mouth?” Gu Qing’er said coldly.
Plop!
Zhou Chengyin instantly kneeled before Gu Qing’er. Before, he didn’t know she was Gu Qing’er, which made him dare to say those words. But now, knowing the true identity of this girl, apart from kneeling and apologizing, he couldn’t think of any other solutions.
“Miss Gu, earlier I failed to recognize Jin Xiangyu, I was blind to call you that. Please have mercy and spare me this time.” Zhou Chengyin said with his head lowered.
“Since your eyes can’t open, what’s the point in keeping them?” Gu Qing’er said coldly.
Zhou Chengyin’s heart tightened; he didn’t want to lose his eyes. However, he understood that if Gu Qing’er really intended to do so, no one in Jiang City could stop her.
Bang, bang, bang!
Zhou Chengyin kept kowtowing: “Miss Gu, I know I’m wrong; it’s all my fault. Please let me go this time.”
Gu Qing’er glanced at Su Changfeng; she waited a long time for a chance to have dinner with him, only to have it disrupted by this jerk, but it’s not irreparable. Gu Qing’er was unwilling to waste all her time on Zhou Chengyin.
“Take him away for me, I’ll deal with it after I finish dining.” Gu Qing’er told the restaurant owner.
The restaurant owner nodded repeatedly and took Zhou Chengyin away.
Zhou Chengyin’s mind was blank at this moment, as if his future life was already darkened. Having offended Gu Qing’er in Jiang City, he seemed to have angered King Yama. If Gu Qing’er didn’t let him see the next day’s sun, he might not even see the moon.
In front of the restaurant, the owner said, “If you want to run away, it’s not impossible, but you’d better hide deeply. You should know how powerful Miss Gu is in Jiang City.”
With that, the restaurant owner went back inside. He still had to serve dishes to Gu Qing’er.
Running away would be impossible for Zhou Chengyin; even if given a hundred guts, he couldn’t run. He knew clearly that unless he escaped from Jiang City and never returned, Gu Qing’er would find him sooner or later.
Yet, everything he had was in Jiang City. If he left now, he would really have nothing left.
Unable to think of another way to get Gu Qing’er to spare him, Zhou Chengyin could only kneel at the restaurant door.
He went to trouble Su Changfeng while Chen Qingxue was in the bathroom. Now Chen Qingxue was back and didn’t see Zhou Chengyin, so she called to contact him.
That’s how Zhou Chengyin ended up at the restaurant door, and when Chen Qingxue arrived at the entrance, she saw Zhou Chengyin kneeling, which confused her greatly.
“Zhou Chengyin, what happened? Why are you kneeling here?” Chen Qingxue asked.
Zhou Chengyin suddenly grabbed Chen Qingxue’s hand: “Qingxue, please help me, ask Su Changfeng to plead for me.”
Chen Qingxue was puzzled; Zhou Chengyin had always looked down on Su Changfeng, why was he now asking him to plead? And plead for what?
Zhou Chengyin indeed looked down on Su Changfeng, thinking Su Changfeng was a nobody. But there was no other way now. Since Su Changfeng was Gu Qing’er’s friend, maybe if he interceded, Zhou Chengyin could escape this disaster.
“What happened? What’s the matter?” Chen Qingxue asked.
Zhou Chengyin explained to Chen Qingxue about the offense he caused to Gu Qing’er. Hearing this, Chen Qingxue’s face was also filled with shock. Her shock, however, was more because Su Changfeng actually knew Gu Qing’er.
In Chen Qingxue’s impression, Su Changfeng was someone who didn’t talk much and kept a particularly low profile.
