An Nuan sighed helplessly.
She knew she couldn't leave now. So, she had to resign herself to fate.
If Xia Wanqing wanted her to serve, then she would serve. After all, she had already endured all sorts of humiliation and torment.
If Xia Wanqing wanted to deal with her this time, then let her deal with her.
If she obeyed obediently and did as Xia Wanqing said, she should be able to leave here safely.
"Miss Xia, please, what do you need me to do for you? Do you want me to open this bottle of wine? Or pour it out?"
"Or, Miss Xia, do you have any other requests?"
"Miss Xia, please feel free to state your requests. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best to satisfy you."
After speaking, An Nuan returned and stood obediently by the side.
An Nuan's change, her sudden obedience, made Xia Wanqing feel very bad.
She agreed so easily, Xia Wanqing was unwilling.
This way, she couldn't find any reason to target An Nuan. Thinking of this, her expression instantly soured.
She always felt that everything she had done just now was like a clown's act.
She had been provoking An Nuan, but An Nuan had readily agreed without saying much.
And she herself was like a joke.
However, even if An Nuan was so obedient, Xia Wanqing would not choose to let her go.
Perhaps, this was An Nuan's deliberate move, meant to make her uneasy and afraid to touch her.
Xia Wanqing thought of how Ji Wen Yun's attention had been entirely on An Nuan earlier, and she couldn't stand looking at An Nuan.
She vented all her anger on An Nuan.
But An Nuan didn't say a word.
No one present stepped forward to speak for An Nuan. They just watched quietly.
Seeing An Nuan so calm, Xia Wanqing became unhappy. This scene was not what she wanted to see.
Under her torment, An Nuan should have begged for mercy, crying and pleading with her.
Instead of being so calm like this.
Her gaze fell on Ji Wen Yun, and she complained tearfully, "Wen Yun, she... she actually glared at me, I..."
"Wen Yun, she must be cursing me in her heart."
"Wen Yun, get the manager. I want the manager to know what kind of people he's brought here. How can such a person work properly?"
"She is not qualified to work here. She should go for proper 'training' to let her know that the customer is God, not to look at me with such resentful eyes."
"Her appearance looks like she is extremely unwilling."
Soon, the manager arrived. The moment he saw An Nuan, and the people sitting on the sofa, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled.
Anyone present here was someone he couldn't afford to offend easily.
Most importantly, any one of them could destroy everything he had right now.
The manager looked at Xia Wanqing and quickly said obsequiously, "Miss Xia, what's wrong? Was the service not good? I'll immediately get you a gold-medal attendant."
The manager glared fiercely at An Nuan. This person. Usually, she was humble and obedient, and didn't cause any trouble.
But now, she had stirred up such a big mess.
These people in front of him were not people one could offend easily.
What had she done to offend these people?
The manager desperately wanted to know, but he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this matter. He needed to appease the people in front of him and serve them well.
As for other things, they could be discussed later.
"Miss Xia, this person is new and very foolish. I apologize for angering Miss Xia."
The manager glared at An Nuan and said sinisterly, "Aren't you going to apologize quickly? What are you still standing there for?"
"Look at the mess you've made," the manager said fiercely.
His gaze fell on Xia Wanqing, and he said obsequiously, "If it weren't for Miss Xia's kindness, would you still be standing here unharmed?"
"Hurry up and thank Miss Xia for sparing your life."
An Nuan kept her head down and didn't speak.
Xia Wanqing ignored what the manager said.
This manager was clearly a shrewd person, knowing exactly what to say and what not to say.
She looked at Ji Wen Yun with a face full of disappointment and said, "Wen Yun, I don't know why things have turned out this way."
"I don't know what was wrong with me just now? Why did I do such a thing and say such words?"
"Wen Yun, I was just too angry, that's why I acted like that. I..."
"No need to explain, I understand," Ji Wen Yun replied perfunctorily.
Xia Wanqing didn't notice Ji Wen Yun's expression. Upon hearing his words, her face instantly lit up with a smile.
She knew that as long as she spoke softly and acted as if she had been greatly wronged, everything would be resolved.
"However, Wen Yun, even though what I did just now was wrong," Xia Wanqing glanced sinisterly at An Nuan and said in a sarcastic tone, "An Nuan's actions were too excessive, which led to this."
"Wen Yun, I..."
"En, I know."
Xia Wanqing's face was full of smiles.
However, what she didn't notice was that Ji Wen Yun's expression had changed at this moment.
His gaze towards her had changed.
Perhaps, she was too happy, and thus, didn't notice.
An Nuan didn't know how she got out.
She was led out by the manager, who scolded her harshly but sighed helplessly and said, "Those people are not people we can afford to offend."
"From now on, you need to be careful."
After saying this, the manager left.
An Nuan nodded. How she wished she could stay away from those people.
But the more she tried to avoid them, the more they appeared in her life.
An Nuan decided to start cleaning. After all, it was her job.
But as she was about to start, someone covered her from behind. She flinched in fear and looked up, only to see Ji Wen Yun standing before her.
"An Nuan, what are you trying to do? Why do you keep appearing in front of me?"
"Do you know? Your presence affects my thoughts."
"An Nuan, you will mess up my heart."
An Nuan looked at the person in front of her with shock and bewilderment.
She didn't understand why Ji Wen Yun had come to her alone to say such things.
"Mr. Ji, I don't know what you're talking about."
"I didn't deliberately appear in front of you, nor do I have any intention of disturbing your peace of mind," An Nuan said coldly.
