Lu Yuan couldn’t confirm it, but it did sound like it.
“You’re so clumsy, get lost, you’re fired!”
The manager also shouted at the waiter.
But those who were smarter could see that the manager was deliberately branching out from the waiter, after all, continuing to stay would only make this Master Kuan more furious and invite more beatings for himself, I’m afraid.
“Master Kuan, I’m really sorry, I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry, my a*s!”
The manager stood there, taking a hard slap, but not daring to move.
At this moment, all the customers in the restaurant were stunned, and for a moment, they all watched from afar.
The other waiters, who did not dare to breathe, were standing against the pillars of the tables in the restaurant.
Lu Yuan did not care so much.
The waiter had been blocked by the manager and the C*ckney, so Lu Yuan could not see anyone.
At this moment, he hurriedly drew back and followed the waiter in the direction he had left.
The waiter was obviously heading towards the back of the kitchen, and Lu Yuan’s heart was pounding as he rounded the wall of the back kitchen aisle and finally, he saw the back of the waiter.
But it was only for a moment before the waiter turned into the back kitchen and disappeared.
But it was this one moment, the waiter’s figure was thin, light and handsome, and Lu Yuan could almost confirm 100% that it was Zhou Yun.
Without another minute’s hesitation, he quickened his pace and hurried over.
“Hey, what are you doing! This is the kitchen, you can’t come in here!”
At the door, one of the cooks blocked Lu Yuan, pointing to a notice posted on the door, “This is an important place in the kitchen, no outsiders should enter!”
Lu Yuan didn’t care, “Get out of the way, I’m looking for someone!”
He pushed the guy out of the way and barged into the kitchen.
The kitchen was in full swing, with five or six cooks busy at the stove, various helpers shuttling back and forth, and waiters coming and going from time to time.
There were about twenty people in the entire kitchen.
However, Lu Yuan searched through the kitchen and did not see Zhou Yun’s figure.
The hope that had just sprung up in Lu Yuan’s heart was instantly dashed again, as he covered his head in pain and squatted on the floor.
Could it be that he had just been blinded and looked thick?
There was also this possibility, after all, he had been pining for Zhou Yun day and night for seven days, and if he was too pining, it was really likely that he would mistake someone else for Zhou Yun.
“Hey, there’s a table of bad guys outside, so vicious, they’re making a scene outside.”
“I heard it was a mistake of serving Xizi beef jelly, as West Lake beef jelly, which caused them to get furious?”
“It was served wrongly, but it wasn’t the new girl who served it wrongly, it was the cook who misheard and made the dish wrongly, but the group took it out on the little girl!”
“I heard that a whole tub of piping hot beef jelly was served to the little girl? What a sin! How can you do such a thing!”
“What can be done about it? Those people outside are all gangsters, it’s the little girl’s bad luck.
“Yes, this little girl is really pathetic, she is so pretty and speaks so elegantly, last time there was a foreign tourist, no one in the whole restaurant could understand her, she even managed to speak to the foreign tourists and help them order food, this little girl looks like she has studied, how come she came to work as a waitress?”
“You don’t know?”
“What’s going on?”
“Haven’t you heard? I don’t know what happened to this little girl’s boyfriend, he owes someone a million dollars, and he’s not well off, so he can’t pay it back! This little girl has taken the initiative to quit school and come out to work to earn money in order to pay her boyfriend’s debt ……”
“Ah, really? This is so touching, the little girl is so great, but her boyfriend, he’s really not a human being, how can he owe so much money of a million dollars?”
“Who knows, she won’t say anything when asked, and when asked more, she just cries. If I had to guess, her boyfriend must be a B*****d who has no money and still spends a lot of money, maybe he’s a small-time gangster who got a loan shark and owes a million dollars with interest.”
“If that’s the case, the girl should have left him a long time ago.”
“Yes, but she seems to like him a lot, not only did she not leave him, but she even did it. One million dollars, how much courage and determination does a young girl need to have before she decides to work to pay his debt!”
“Stop it, the more I hear, the more angry I get, what kind of scum is her boyfriend, making a young girl suffer this, ugh!”
Lu Yuan was already dead in the heart when suddenly such a conversation came to his ears.
He listened with a surge of heart.
When he looked at the sound, it was two kitchen helpers sitting there, choosing vegetables and chatting about family matters.
Lu Yuan rushed over with a single step.
“Auntie, the little girl you guys were talking about, she, where is she?!”
“What do you want!”
“What are you!”
The two vegetable selectors suddenly saw a young man they didn’t know, pouncing on them as if they were vicious dogs, with red eyes and a stubbly beard, looking frightened to death.
Both of them were startled.
“Auntie, can you take me to see that little girl, I, I’m her boyfriend!” Lu Yuan was almost on his knees… he was so desperate!
Lu Yuan heard the words of the two aunties clearly just now.
I see, I get it!
Zhou Yun isn’t trying to leave me!
She took a break from school so that she could earn money and pay back the million for me!
Silly girl, you are so stupid.
It’s also good, so that I am heartbroken and touched.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was both heartbroken and happy.
Happy that Zhou Yun wasn’t abandoning himself and disappointed in himself, happy that he didn’t expect Zhou Yun to love him so much!
“That’s you?!”
The two older women heard this.
They were both furious at once.
One of them picked up a piece of celery and hit Lu Yuan hard, “You young man, what’s wrong with you, the little girl is so kind and beautiful, shouldn’t you love her properly, and let her work to pay your debt, are you a human being! I’ll beat you to death, you untalented little villain! Aigoo …… ouch …… my waist ……”
The other woman was a bit more generous and rushed over to persuade, “Forget it Cui’e, the young man is here, it seems he still has feelings for the little girl, besides, look at his appearance, these days, I’m afraid he has not been sad.”
With that, that older woman stood up and rushed towards Lu Yuan, “Come on, young man, I’ll take you there.”
Lu Yuan’s heart couldn’t wait to get to Zhou Yun’s side.
Following the amah, through an aisle with shelves on both sides and dishes on the shelves, then the amah pushed open a door, “Go in ……”
When Lu Yuan followed the big lady, his heart was burning, but then he pushed open the door, and he had a feeling of being close to home.
Lu Yuan took his time and walked towards the inside.
Then he saw the familiar figure, who else could it be if not Zhou Yun?
With his back turned to himself.
Sitting there, head bowed, perhaps because of the pain, his body twitching from time to time, holding an ice cube in his hand, applying ice to the area of his shoulder.
That was where the beef jelly had just burned him.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhou Yun suddenly turned around and without raising his head, he knelt down directly in front of Lu Yuan.
“Manager, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, please don’t fire me, please, I’ll work harder and be more careful, I need the money badly, don’t fire me, please ……”
Zhou Yun thought it was the manager who had come to settle accounts with her, so she flung herself down on her knees and begged for mercy.
It hurt to see Lu Yuan’s heart.
“Zhou Yun ……”
Lu Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer and squatted down, calling out softly.
Ah!
Zhou Yun’s body shook violently, what could be more familiar than this voice?
During these seven days, she had also missed this voice countless times, but she was ruthless and did not try to contact the owner of the voice.
And now, this voice was so warm, tugging at her heartstrings.
How could she have heard it here?
Subconsciously, she lifted her head.
“Lu Yuan.”
When Zhou Yun saw Lu Yuan’s face and saw how haggard he looked, I’m afraid that even the strongest heart was shattered to pieces in an instant at this point.
The aggravation she suffered, the pain in her body ……
I can’t help but fall into Lu Yuan’s arms.
Lu Yuan hugged her tightly, stroking her still smooth as silk hair and caressing her shoulders which were even thinner than before, she must have suffered a lot during these seven days.
“Lu Yuan, I ……” Zhou Yun just had to say.
“I… I know all about it.” Lu Yuan’s eyes were moist with heartache, “Why ah, why are you so stupid to come out to work to pay back the money for me ah, why didn’t you say ah, do you know that I have been looking for you for so many days and thinking about you!”
“I knew that if I told you, you would definitely not agree, so I came out privately.”
Zhou Yun buried her head in Lu Yuan’s arms, “I’m sorry Lu Yuan, I said that kind of thing to you in the hospital that day, but actually no matter what I do, I will forgive you and I will never leave you ……”
The first thing I did was to take out five hundred dollars from my pocket and hand it to Lu Yuan, “Look, I earned five hundred in the past seven days, I didn’t spend any of it, I saved it all, don’t be afraid, we’ll definitely pay back the million, I’ll pay it back with you!”
Lu Yuan said nothing, took the five hundred, carefully put it away, kissed her on the forehead, Zhou Yun, you are so silly, I like you so much.
“I’m really happy to see you guys like this, I’m an old mum, young man, if you don’t treat this little girl well in the future, I won’t be able to spare you.”
The old lady who was choosing vegetables came over at this time, and after she finished, her face showed some nervousness, “Right, young man, you quickly take the little girl away from the back door, I just heard, outside in the hall, those people are more aggressive, later to find the little girl trouble will be bad, you hurry to go ah!”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a shiver run through the body of Zhou Yun in his arms.
He lowered his head and was seeing the burns on Zhou Yun’s shoulder, his white skin was red, luckily there were clothes to block it, although it was not too serious, it still looked shocking.
“Zhou Yun, after you left, I spoke to myself that if I ever found you, I would never let you be wronged, never let anyone bully you again! Now the time has come to honour that.”
“Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”
With that, Lu Yuan exited the back kitchen and walked outside to the dining room.
