Huo Juncheng also asked his wife, “Mingzhu, didn’t you say they had broken up?”
Madam Huo frowned deeply, “If they’ve broken up, why did Zhexi still run after her?”
“…”
Mingzhu was at a loss for words, so she got up and said, “Dad, mom, you eat first, I’ll go bring Zhexi back.”

“Xiaowei, Xiaowei!”
Huo Zhexi chased her to the corridor, only to find that she was nowhere to be found.
All the female waitresses back and forth were all wearing identical red cheongsam, none of them were Bai Ruwei.
Wanting to call her, he realized that his phone had long been confiscated by Mingzhu.
So when Mingzhu came out, Huo Zhexi rushed over, “Mom, give me the phone quickly.”
Mingzhu directly twisted his ear, “Come back with me! We have a family gathering today, and the elders are all waiting for you in the private room, is this appropriate?”
“But mom, Xiaowei, she…”
“Enough with the chatter!” Mingzhu pulled her son and started to walk back.
Huo Zhexi was pulled for a few steps before he finally broke free, “Mom, I need to find Xiaowei!”
Mingzhu’s pretty face froze, “Zhexi, let me tell you, it’s a festival today, and all the elders are here, I don’t want to make a scene!”
Mingzhu has always been assertive, Huo Zhexi was somewhat hesitant, but still said, “But mom, I want to have a good talk with Xiaowei, she’s been ignoring me lately.”
“Okay.”
Huo Zhexi was overjoyed.
The next second.
“After dinner.”
“But mom…”
“She’s working here as a waitress, can she possibly run away?” Mingzhu’s tone was firm, “If you don’t come back to the private room with me, I’ll send you abroad to study tomorrow! You won’t be able to come back for the rest of your life! I mean what I say!”
Hearing this, Huo Zhexi had to agree. “Alright, I’ll go back with you first, okay?”
He could only find Xiaowei later.
Just before he left, he looked at the hall outside once more.

After the mother and son left, Bai Ruwei emerged from a corner.
The whole restaurant was extremely bustling today, it was noisy and lively in the hall.
All the customers were coming and going, every one of them had a genuine smile on their face, and even more were rosy faced from drinking.
However, Bai Ruwei felt extremely bitter inside.
Especially, the moment she stepped into the private room, the people at the table were all laughing and joking, including Su Wanwan, everybody was beautifully dressed and glowing, full of joy.
But the moment they saw her, their faces changed instantly.
Jjust like seeing an ominous person.
Yes.
They are distinguished guests.
And she’s just a waitress here.
A temporary waitress no less.
As the restaurant was busy during the Spring Festival, she was kept on as temporary help.
She was so out of place with everyone in the private room, they were simply not from the same world.
Bai Ruwei admits that, when Huo Zhexi stood up and called her name, she felt a sense of satisfaction deep down.
Even a little vanity.
But, that’s all there is to it isn’t it?
Huo Zhexi could not possibly leave his family to find her, because compared to her, his family was obviously more important.
“Xiaowei, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and serve the dishes in Yanshui Pavilion!” the manager’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Okay, I’m going right now.”
Bai Ruwei quickly turned to go to the kitchen, but suddenly the door of the nearest private room opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, his face full with the smell of alcohol, and then their bodies collided with each other.
“What’s going on!” The man’s voice rang out impatiently.
The voice was rough, loud, rude, and clearly drunk.
“Sorry sir, I didn’t do it on purpose, are you alright?” Bai Ruwei hastily asked.
The man appeared to be around forty or fifty years old, wearing a dark gray suit, slightly chubby, his face was flushed from drinking, his eyes were drunk and his vision was blurry…
Clearly he was drunk.
“Not on purpose?” The man belched, his tiger-like face looking at her, “Then you did it intentionally?”
Bai Ruwei slightly frowned, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it intentionally.”
“Okay.” The man finished talking, directly pulled her and started to walk to the private room, “Then accompany me for a few drinks, drink up and I’ll forgive you.”
Bai Ruwei began to struggle, “Sir, I’m a waitress here, I still have work to do.”
“Aren’t waitresses supposed to serve the customers?” The man said, suddenly leering at her, “Yo, you’re pretty good looking, tell me, what’s your name?”
Bai Ruwei didn’t expect to encounter a drunken buffoon, not in his right mind and also very lustful.
She didn’t want to talk any more, struggling to break free and wanting to leave, but unexpectedly her waist was suddenly grabbed by him.
His meaty hand was touching her cheek.
The strong smell of alcohol, and his shaking belly, immediately gave her goosebumps.
“Sir, please let go of me!” Bai Ruwei endured her disgust and struggled to push him away.
“What if I don’t let go?” The man lowered his head, the smile on his face somewhat wretched, “Are waitresses this arrogant these days? What’s wrong with asking you to accompany me for a few drinks? You dare to refuse, do you believe that with just one word from me, you’ll lose this job? Huh?”
“I’m a waitress, but I don’t serve drinks!”
Bai Ruwei couldn’t pry off the two fat hands on her waist, she was becoming extremely anxious.
