Chapter 44. Dignity.
Chapter: 3890 words
The cafe's environment was very elegant. Soft and beautiful music surrounded the hall. Some elegantly dressed and high-end people were relaxing and chatting here.
Jin ordered three cups of coffee. We sat by the window. Jin leaned on the sofa and quietly watched the pedestrians coming and going outside. Rosin Lotus leisurely sipped his coffee, looking relaxed. It seemed that he didn't have any worries or pressure. I picked up the coffee cup in front of me. Wisps of white smoke rose and surrounded my eyes. The black liquid emitted a scalding fragrance that continuously invaded his nerves.
"Hehe, the coffee is quite fragrant. The coffee brewed from hand-ground coffee beans is pure and much better than instant coffee.”Rosin Lotus continued to savor the coffee.
I smiled faintly and took a small sip of coffee. The fragrance of the coffee beans was transmitted to my chest through the boiling temperature. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Jin was still looking at the street outside the window. He seemed to have a lot on his mind. It was unknown whether he was worried about Uncle Tai and the others or thinking about how to get rid of the two women with ghost talismans. I noticed that Jin was feeling a little uneasy at this moment. When I looked at the Rosin Lotus, I felt a completely different feeling.
"What are you doing!" I heard a woman's angry scolding coming from a few meters ahead. I looked up and saw a young male waiter holding a tray of coffee cups. He was standing in front of a booth in a panic, holding a piece of toilet paper and constantly wiping the woman's bag.
"It seems that the waiter didn't hold the plate properly and spilled it on someone else?”Rosin Lotus also looked over. The waiter kept apologizing and saying that he didn't do it on purpose. However, it seemed that the woman was a little unforgiving. She did not have the understanding and reservation of a woman at all. She grabbed the waiter's collar and started cursing in the cafe.
The woman's tone was sharp as she tugged at the waiter's clothes and refused to let go. The boy looked to be in his early twenties. He might be working part-time while studying in university. His eyes were filled with fear and he did not dare to look at the woman.
"What's the use of being sorry? Look for yourself, my LV bag has been soaked by you. Do you know how much this bag costs? Let me tell you, you might not even be able to afford it with a year's salary!”The young woman pointed at a high-end leather bag on the seat and said.
When the boy heard this, his originally flustered expression became even more frightened until his legs trembled. For an ordinary worker like him, his monthly salary was at most a little more than 1,000 yuan. It was really not easy to live in such a big city. For people like the woman, she could easily get tens of thousands with a wave of her hand. Extravagance and waste were very normal habits for them.
The young woman did not seem like she would give up immediately. She might have been determined to make a scene. "You're just a small waiter. Do you believe that I'll fire you immediately?”The woman said something ruthless. When the boy heard her, he hurriedly begged the woman,"Big Sister, please let me go. I'm still studying and living alone outside. My family's conditions aren't good, and I really need this job.”
"Beg me? Humph... Are you even worthy?" The woman smiled contemptuously, obviously looking down on this unremarkable boy.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman sitting at the bar counter walked over, probably because she had heard the commotion. "Xiao Zhi, what happened?" The middle-aged woman shouted at the boy. Perhaps she was the boss here. Without waiting for the boy to speak, the young woman scolded the middle-aged woman,"Look at what your waiter has done!”
The middle-aged woman looked at the broken glass on the floor and the coffee on the sofa and immediately understood what had happened. "Xiao Zhi, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and apologize to the customer!" She said sternly to the boy.
"There's no need. I don't need an apology.”The young woman said disdainfully, her tone frivolous. "It's our fault for not serving you well. Today's coffee is on us, okay?”The middle-aged woman smiled at the young woman.
"Do I look like I'm short of money?" The young woman snorted coldly.”"If you have any requests, feel free to ask. We will try our best to satisfy them.”The middle-aged woman smiled apologetically.
"I don't want any compensation. I've been using this bag for half a month anyway. I was just about to ask my boyfriend to buy me another one.”The young woman said,"However, I want this waiter to do something for me."”
The boy was stunned and asked with a trembling voice,"Do what?" "As long as you kneel on the ground, bark three times like a dog, and crawl around your coffee shop, I'll let you off." The young woman sneered.”
She actually wanted to humiliate this boy! At this moment, I suddenly felt anger in my heart, and Jin couldn't stand it anymore. The people sitting in the cafe were also discussing softly, but the woman seemed to not hear it and did not care at all.
"Miss, you must be joking.”the middle-aged woman said. The smile on her face changed. "He can choose not to do it, but I don't care if I can guarantee that your small coffee shop can still be preserved.”the woman said.
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged woman's smile was completely restrained. She was also protecting her employee's dignity.
"Is this the quality of the people of China?”Jin and I ignored her and continued to look at them. Almost everyone in the cafe was focused on them.
"Do you know who my boyfriend is?" Let me tell you, it's Lord Saber Fourth. Are you scared now?"
When many people heard the words " Saber Fourth Master ", they immediately began to discuss it, as if the " Saber Fourth Master " mentioned by this woman was a very terrifying figure.
"She's the lover of Lord Saber? No wonder he was so rich and arrogant.”
"This woman is really unreasonable. But who asked her to be the woman of the Fourth Master Saber?”
"This young man is going to suffer, sigh…"
"My patience has a limit. Are you going to kneel or not?”The woman picked up the coffee cup on the table and poured the coffee on the boy's face. Then, she threw the cup on the ground heavily, as if she had lost her temper.
The middle-aged woman did not know what to do. Was she also afraid of this "Fourth Master Saber"? The boy seemed to know nothing and just stood nervously at the side.
"Young man, kneel down. Don't provoke this woman.”A middle-aged man whispered.
"Hurry up and kneel. The woman of Lord Saber is not someone you can offend. Otherwise, you might not even be able to stay in this city, let alone lose your job.”Another person whispered, but no one went forward to persuade or stop him.
The young woman grabbed the bag on the sofa and hit the boy on the head."You brat, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”The middle-aged woman quickly pulled the young woman back and tried to calm her down, but the young woman pushed the middle-aged woman away.
The boy was splashed with coffee and hit. He was so scared that he couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Are you going to kneel or not?"”
"Kneel, young man. Why are you looking for trouble?”A white-collar woman said.
"You only have one choice!" The woman scolded," People like you have no dignity in my eyes!”
"Are all women like this?" Jin asked Rosin Lotus. When Rosin Lotus heard this, he could not help but be speechless. He glared at Jin and looked at the situation in front of him.
The two of them faced each other like this. The middle-aged woman stood at the side, not knowing what to do.
"I will count to three." The woman said," Three…Two…" At this moment, the boy knelt on the ground with a thud. Many people could feel the shock. The woman's expression was full of mockery and disdain.
"Meow, puppy, meow like a puppy.”the woman continued.
The boy's eyes were already filled with tears. How could a young man bear such humiliation and grievance?
"Scream." The woman in high heels kicked the boy's head. The sharp heel of the high heels cut a long hole in the boy's head, and bright red blood flowed down his cheek.
"He's bleeding!" someone shouted.
"Are you going to call me?" The woman cursed and kicked the boy again. An even longer wound appeared on the boy's head.
However, the boy continued to bite his lips tightly, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes.
"This woman is too unreasonable!"
"If it wasn't because she's the woman of Lord Saber, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.”
I really can't stand it anymore. I have to help this young man. Ember also saw through my intentions. He must be thinking the same thing as me.
"I'm not a puppy! I am a human! A person with flesh and blood and dignity!" The boy suddenly stood up from the ground and cried at the woman. Tears kept flowing down his face. The woman was shocked by the sudden shout and almost fell to the ground.
The boy's eyes were red as he looked at the woman. The woman didn't come back to her senses for a while. She just stared at the young man in front of her in a daze.
Everyone in the cafe was stunned by this sudden action. For a moment, the entire cafe was silent. Even the music had stopped at some point. The entire cafe could only hear the sobbing of the boys and the faint breathing of the people.
The woman looked at the boy and only came back to her senses after half a minute."Do you want to die?!" As she spoke, she slapped the boy's face. The boy's face was slapped, and five finger marks instantly swelled up.
The woman didn't give up and continued to beat and scold. However, Jin had already left his seat and arrived in front of the boy. He blocked the woman's hand and grabbed the woman. Her wrist was grabbed by Jin and she could not move.
"If you don't know how to respect others, I can teach you.”Jin grabbed the woman's wrist and said fiercely. The woman's eyes were filled with panic as she looked at the furious Jin. The boy also looked gratefully at the man in front of him.
Some people had already started to discuss Jin. They did not expect someone to defend the boy's dignity at this time.
The woman wanted to break free from Jin's hand, but no matter how she struggled, she could not break free from Jin's hand. Jin grabbed her tightly, not giving her any chance to move. The woman groaned in pain.
"Let go of me!" The woman did not have the strength to struggle anymore. Facing Jin, she did not have the slightest strength to retaliate. Jin ignored her. He grabbed her hand and glared at her…
The woman was anxious and said to Jin,"If you don't let go, I'll let Lord Saber chop you up!"”" Hehe, then let him come. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of anyone." Jin sneered. It didn't matter if he was Lord Saber or someone else.”
"I just want to tell you that it's best not to insult someone like this in the future. Otherwise, there will be a day when your dignity will be insulted.”After Jin finished speaking, he let go of the woman's wrist and turned around to support the boy.
The woman was in so much pain that her other hand dragged the hand that was pinched by Jin and did not dare to say anything else.
"Young man, go to the hospital and bandage your wound. There's so much blood.”" You've done well," said Jin." You're a person with dignity.”The boy covered his head. Blood had already dyed his hands red and kept dripping onto the floor.
The middle-aged woman also recovered from her shock and quickly walked up to the boy."Xiao Zhi, quickly go to the hospital and get it bandaged. It's not good for your wound to get infected.”However, the boy did not take a step forward. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged woman and Jin, as if he was in a difficult position.
"Xiao Zhi, this is two thousand yuan.”The middle-aged woman took out some money from her bag and stuffed it into the boy's pocket. The boy said to the middle-aged woman," Auntie Qin, I can't ask for so much money. My salary isn't that much. Besides, I've caused so much trouble today. Isn't my salary going to be deducted?”The middle-aged woman smiled and patted his shoulder."I told you to keep it. I know it's not easy for you to go to school and work here.”
Jin also took out a few thousand yuan from his bag and stuffed it into the boy's pocket. The boy was so panicked that he didn't know what to say. Jin only smiled faintly."This bit of money is nothing to me. Use it to buy some things you need for your studies and improve your life. I can tell that your body is weak at a glance.”
The boy's eyes were filled with tears again. This time, it was because of gratitude.
"Alright, let Young Dai accompany you to the hospital. Then, go home and have a good rest. You don't have to go to work today.”The middle-aged woman said," Xiao Dai, go accompany Xiao Zhi to the hospital."”A handsome man in his twenties walked over and helped the boy named Xiao Zhi out of the cafe.
