Chapter 25 - Instant karma
After saying his piece, the audacious waiter walked into the restaurant while he stood outside, gritting his teeth. Who is he to tell me to stay away? So, what, he just has a video? My reputation is already in the trash! Grumbling, he walked back in.
To his surprise, his eyes fell on a slumped figure near the kitchen.
Yunfeng... He walked toward him, but something told him it wasn’t right to approach him.
As he got closer, he noticed the young man’s lower lip trembling slightly as he clutched the serving tray.
Is he... crying? Shit, it must be his arm. He rushed to him and held his shoulders. "Does it hurt? Why did you come to work if you’re going to cry about the pain? You need to take bed rest."
Yunfeng’s tear-filled eyes peered up at him. "Don’t touch me..." he weakly pushed him away. "Just... just what do you want? Cleaning charge? I’ll pay it. Just leave me alone." He sniffed slightly.
A single tear slipped down.
Muchen panicked. Shit! Shit! He hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve. "You don’t need to pay. Insurance will cover it. You..."
The young man stepped back. "Then why are you bothering me at my workplace? I got my pay docked... I worked so hard to earn that money, and now I don’t have enough. You won’t know this, but do you know how costly rice is? It’s so hard to buy a single bag. I have to stay up so many nights to save that money, and... you... you..." He started to sob silently.
"Wait, money. You want money here," he took out his wallet, but only black cards shone brightly. He shoved a black card into his hand. "Here, you have money now. Don’t cry."
Seeing the guy cry made him feel like shit. He didn’t want to make anyone’s life worse. He just wanted to check if he was healthy, but when Yunfeng gave him attitude, he went a bit too far and bullied him slightly.
