The originally arrogant manner of the waiter, upon seeing the man, instantly deflated like a balloon being pierced by a needle.

"Chief, General Manager." He hung his head in dejection. How was he still as arrogant as before?

"Why are you here?"

"What is it? Do you want me to tell you where I'm going? "

"No, no!" The waiter's posture of kneeling and licking was disgusting. He smiled and bowed while saying, "Welcome, General Manager, to inspect the work."

In this era, staff could not be fired as they pleased. Otherwise, looking at the gloomy face of the man, he felt perplexed on the inside.

General manager?

The general manager of the restaurant, why did he run to a department store?

The man stepped forward and stood beside Cao Xiaolan.

Only then did she realize that the man in front of her was very tall. His well-ironed suit made him look exceptionally good, with his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Her gaze slowly moved up, and the side of the man's face was immediately imprinted into her eyes.

He cut an inch and looked very energetic. Under his thick eyebrows, his almond-shaped eyes slanted slightly, and under his tall nose, his thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked very solemn.

The piercing sunlight shone down diagonally on his face, dyeing his eyelashes gold.

Plus, in his previous life, Cao Xiaolian had never seen such a magnanimous man.

How should he put it? Not only was he good-looking, but he had an attractive aura around him. In the popular words of the later generations, he looked like an old abstinence official.

As Cao Xiaoliu was admiring him, Lin Mubai felt someone's hot eyes staring at him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a pair of innocent and bright eyes staring at him.

In front of his eyes was a 15-16 year old girl. Her jet black hair was combed into braids at the back of her head, and her thick eyebrows and big eyes were fixed on his white oval face. Perhaps it was because of the scorching summer, but there was a faint blush on it, and her lips were rosy and shiny.

But her eyes were too direct, and he didn't like it.

His longing for marriage was the same as his father and mother's. Qin Se and Ming Ming and the case was the same; his father was a soldier, and his mother came from a scholarly family. Although he had to stay in this small town for the sake of being temporarily involved, there would be a day when he would go back.

Therefore, he had never had the thought of getting married. At the very least, he wouldn't be looking for someone in this place.

He was born with a good appearance and a good job. Many women came to him like a flock of birds. He mistook Cao Xiaoling for one of those people and felt very displeased.

However, he might have taken advantage of her face, but towards a beautiful young girl, he really couldn't be as angry as he was towards his subordinates.

As Cao Xiaoluo was watching, she suddenly saw Lin Mubai frown and take two steps forward. She immediately understood, and her face was burning as she cursed herself in her heart: I've lived two lifetimes already, how could I be deceived by such a lewd appearance?

It couldn't be blamed on her. People were always looking forward to beautiful things, especially when they saw such a well-dressed man. She couldn't help but glance at him.

She glanced at Lin Mubai a few more times and secretly said in her heart, "You can't blame me for this. Who told you to be so shameless on such a hot day and wear such tight clothes. Don't you clearly want someone to strip you?"

However, Cao Xiaolian kept her composure and quietly watched how the man was going to deal with this matter.

"Call your manager over."

Just as he finished his sentence, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a light colored short-sleeved shirt running over. As he ran, he smiled and said, "Aiya, General Manager Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Mubai remained silent as he asked, "How did he get on duty?" have you ever been trained? "

Working was not as demanding as it was in the future, but restaurants like this one had basic training.

The manager was almost sweating. "I'll definitely criticize him when I get back. How can he treat his customers like this? Qian Fei, hurry up and apologize to the customer! "

This Qian Fei was his wife's younger brother. He had always been idle and didn't work properly. He was already over twenty years old and had been acting like a lackey all day. His family was anxious. They forced him to give it a try, but he had to open a back door before he could get the money in.

He didn't expect that he would cause such a ruckus on his first day at work.

Unfortunately, he was seen by the general manager.

This general manager, despite his young age, his methods were tough and he did not show any mercy. If he knew that Qian Fei had entered through the back door, he probably would not be able to keep his job.

What was there to be afraid of? Lin Mubai didn't accept his apology and directly asked, "Who hired him?"

He was going to investigate his background.

The manager was sweating profusely.

He groaned and could not speak. His gaze was also wavering. Lin Mubai became even more suspicious. He ignored him and walked in to look for the accountant.

The manager immediately went to chase after them, but no one bothered with Cao Xiaolan and her daughter.

"Xiao Lian, let's go."

After a good meal, she ended up like this. Cao Xiaoling felt uncomfortable, but what could she do now? If she went in, wouldn't she be asking for the results?

It was a pity that even though she wanted to leave, there were people who were looking for trouble with her.

"You bitch, laozi will tell you this. If something happens to you because of this job, laozi will kill you!"

Qian Fei was flustered and exasperated. He could faintly feel that something was wrong, but he did not think that it would be because of him. He felt that if it wasn't for this mother and daughter trio that was looking for trouble today, he would not have been captured.

"Pfft, what bad luck."

Cao Xiaoxia was infuriated, "What are you talking about? Why are you cursing at me? Aiya, not a moment ago, you were bending your back in front of your general manager like a pug. "

"Bitch, who are you calling a dog?" Qian Fei was furious. He raised his fist and was about to hit Cao Xiaoxia.

Mother Cao hugged her daughter and took a heavy hit on her. She felt a pain on her back and a sweet taste on her throat. She could not help but vomit blood.

"Mom!"

The two sisters were shocked and cried out in alarm. They immediately hugged Mother Cao, only to discover that her face was pale and her breath was weak. "Mom is fine. Morning Glory, you haven't been hit, right?"

Cao Xiaoxia's tears fell like beads from a broken string. "Mom, I'm fine. Mom, what happened to you? Why did you vomit blood?"

Cao Xiaoliu's hands were also shaking in fear. She recalled her previous life when her mother had been severely ill. Her face had also lost all color. She lay on the bed with a hanging breath, waiting for her sister to come back and see her.

Looking at the situation before him, Qian Fei was terrified.

He didn't even know that he had only punched her once, how could it be so powerful? It actually made her bleed? Furthermore, from the looks of it, it seemed that the old lady had been severely injured.

"You, don't play dead." He was scared and stuttered, "I just hit him a little, how can it be that serious? I'll tell you, don't blackmail people. There are people above me, I'm not afraid of you country bumpkins."

"Hmph." Cao Xiaoling was startled by his words. She sneered, "There was someone up there, was there? He just hit my mom a little, was there?"

Qian Fei saw that her face was pale, and he walked closer to her, thinking that she was going to scratch him, but he didn't take it to heart. "What, you don't have the money to deliberately come to the restaurant and scam someone, ah, I see. The three of you weren't here to eat in the beginning, were you?"

Cao Xiaolian suddenly rushed forward and smashed Qian Fei's head with the brick in her hand. She shouted, "I'll give you a light hit too! Do you feel any pain? Do you feel any pain?"

As soon as Cao Xiaoling charged at him, Qian Fei felt that something was wrong. His years of fighting experience told him that the first thing he needed to do was to protect his head, so he held his head and smashed the brick on his body. It was painful but not fatal.

"I'm a crazy woman, get lost, or I really won't be polite."

"You're welcome. If you beat my mom to death today, I'll beat you to death too. A life is worth it!"

Her mother's unwillingness to leave and the humiliation she suffered today surged together into her mind. Her reason had long since disappeared into thin air, and even her mother's soft moans and sister's cries could no longer be heard. Even when someone rushed over and tied her hands behind her back and forced her to break free, she was still breathing heavily and unable to calm down.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mubai's mind was in a mess. He had just entered and was preparing to investigate if the waiter had a bad attitude when he heard screams from outside. He quickly walked out and saw a fierce battle.

This was the first time he had seen a woman fight in such a terrible way.

She was clearly a delicate and innocent girl, but at this moment, she seemed to have gone mad. His hair was in disarray, his face was flushed, and he was crying. However, he was clenching his teeth. His men were hating him, and he hated them more than a man.

Initially, he felt a sliver of goodwill toward her, but because of this, he immediately lost it all.

But pulling it apart mattered.

One by one, he and the manager separated Cao Xiaolian and Qian Fei.

"You bitch!" Qian Fei wanted to struggle free of his brother-in-law's grasp as he pointed at Cao Xiaoling and cursed, "I'm telling you, walk carefully in the future. Don't let your father see it or else I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

His face was ferocious and vicious.

Lin Mubai frowned as he felt the rise and fall of the young girl's chest. He forcefully endured his tears as if he had lost control of his emotions.

"What's wrong?" His voice was like a medicine, soothing and calm. "What did he do to you?"

He subconsciously felt that Cao Xiaolian was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble, not to mention that this Qian Fei was just too despicable.

There was also the manager. He looked at the manager and saw that the manager had already lowered his head. He was so scared that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Hmph, this matter will be settled later.

The most important thing was to first pacify the person in front of him and settle the matter.

Cao Xiao Lian did not say anything, but Cao Xiao Xia said first, "He hit my mother, causing her to bleed."

"Where is the blood?" He was prepared to take a careful look, but he was worried that Cao Xiaoling would lose control of her body. He said to her in a low voice, "No matter what, I will return you justice in a moment. Now, go take a look at your mother and see how she is."

Strangely, his words managed to calm Cao Xiaolian down.

She didn't say anything. That was true, her mother's body was more important than this scumbag's.

She ran over, but Mother Cao was still lying on the ground with her head on Cao Xiaoxia's legs. She looked better than before, but she was still injured.

Lin Mubai walked over and squatted down, "Aunty, where are you feeling unwell?"

Her chest felt very stuffy. There was still some pain on her left side, especially when she breathed, it felt like her chest had been pulled by a blade.

She opened her mouth to speak, but the pain in her chest was unbearable. She couldn't help but frown and cry out in pain.
