At this moment, Luo Fan also walked out, momentarily stunned by the chaos before him. However, he immediately looked at the waiter and gently asked, "Are you hurt? You should go to the hospital now."
The waiter seemed to regain his senses now, though his mind was still somewhat muddled. He never imagined he would be frightened by a cat, so much so that he took a big tumble. It was truly embarrassing to think about, but that cat was really fierce just now.
In that split-second moment, he felt as if what pounced at him was not a cat, but a ferocious tiger.
He couldnât quite explain why he had such a feeling, but to say he was still shaken was true.
He seemed not to hear the customerâs words, instead subconsciously looking at the cat, then locking eyes with the White Cat.
The White Catâs eyes gleamed with an indescribable chill.
Although the White Cat was not large, only about half the size of a normal house cat, like a little kitten, for some reason, in his eyes, it seemed like a gargantuan beast. The waiter involuntarily stepped back again.
His face turned ghastly pale, and his legs started to tremble a bit.
Little Wen could also clearly feel the murderous intent in the White Catâs eyes.
At this moment, she too walked out with the others. She hadnât seen what happened outside and didnât know how the waiter provoked the little white cat. However, she knew that this seemingly harmless White Cat held grudges the best.
The waiter clearly didnât know how he had offended it, which meant the waiter was in danger.
Little Wen thought for a moment, moving to Gu Qiaoqiaoâs side and whispering her thoughts to her.
Because Little Wen knew that, at this moment, the only one who could approach the White Cat was Gu Qiaoqiao.
Even Shang Qing was of no help.
So Shang Qingâs outstretched hand lingered awkwardly in mid-air because the White Cat completely ignored her, continuing to glare at the waiter, seemingly intent on venting all its pent-up anger on him.
Just like a breached Yellow River, the anger flooded uncontrollably, spreading swiftly across the land.
After hearing Little Wenâs words, Gu Qiaoqiao gazed intently at the White Cat, knowing that what Little Wen said was true.
This little White Cat couldnât be appeased with mere words.
Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao knew the White Cat was different from other mystical creatures; it had been accompanying Dongfang Yu for who knows how many years.
If, as Little Wen said, the waiter was eventually sought out for revenge by the White Cat and bitten to death, then the matter would indeed be grave.
No matter for whom, the consequences were unimaginable.
Meanwhile, the restaurant manager hurriedly apologized to Luo Fan with a humble attitude, fearing that Luo Fan and the others might complain and cost him his position as manager.
At this moment, the restaurant managerâs forehead was covered in sweat, but he didnât lose his composure. He wiped his forehead and instructed the other waiters to hurry and serve the dishes.
Then, watching Luo Fan obsequiously, he said, "Mr. Luo, Iâm truly sorry for this incident; itâs our restaurantâs oversight that disrupted your meal enjoyment. I sincerely apologize, truly sorry, truly sorry!"
Luo Fan frowned slightly. Todayâs incident was indeed displeasing because it was his first meal with these people, and it ought to have been a pleasant setting. Yet, unexpectedly, it turned out like this.
Although not entirely the waiterâs fault, the waiter lacked composure, unable to handle the unexpected situation, resulting in such consequences.
However, he couldnât just blame the waiter.
So Luo Fan pursed his lips and remained silent.
The restaurant manager was a savvy person, keenly sensitive to the situation; otherwise, he wouldnât hold such a position. After all, serving people is one of the hardest jobs.
And reaching his current position meant he wasnât an ordinary person.
From Luo Fanâs expression, he quickly grasped the situation, immediately instructing the waitstaff, "Accompany Xiao Liu to the hospital and check for any injuries."
That was the priority now.
A colleague supported the waiter, heading to the other side of the corridor.
Because his face was ashen, it was uncertain if he was injured,
But no one paid attention to the White Cat, so naturally, they didnât notice the White Cat, eager yet forcibly restraining its anger and murderous intent, silently sidling off, then stealthily following them along the wall.
Shang Qing felt a little hurt too. This White Cat really had no conscience; she even offered to hold it, yet it wouldnât even glance at her, nor did it acknowledge her at all, now just walking off on its own.
Such an ungrateful thing, despite how well she treated it.
Shang Qing pouted angrily, saying nothing.
And Gu Qiaoqiao, seeing the White Cat tailing the waiter, knew that Little Wenâs concerns had come true.
Chu Chengfeng also saw the White Cat, suddenly saying, "Sister-in-law, why does this White Cat look so familiar to me?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "You saw it at this yearâs New Year gathering; it nearly caught you then..."
Chu Chengfengâs face changed dramatically, suddenly remembering it was a ferocious White Cat completely contrary to its appearance.
Chu Chengfeng, shocked, pointed ahead. "Is it Dongfang Yuâs White Cat?"
"Yes, thatâs it," Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, then looked at Chu Chengfeng, "You all go inside first, Iâll just check it out."
Gu Qianqian quickly spoke up, "Big sister, where are you going?"
The little girlâs eyes were full of reluctance; she didnât want her big sister to leave before eating.
And at this time, the White Cat had already turned the corner, following the others, and was out of sight.
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly told Qianqian beside her, "Qianqian, you all eat slowly, Iâll be back soon."
Gu Qianqian hesitated for a moment, reluctantly nodding, grabbing Gu Qiaoqiaoâs arm and pleading, "Big sister, you must come back quickly."
"Okay, Iâll be back soon, you guys go in first," Gu Qiaoqiao said softly in agreement.
Then she turned and left the private roomâs door without looking back, heading to the other side of the corridor.
Little Wen beckoned everyone, "Come in, itâs okay, Qiaoqiao will be back soon."
Little Wen wasnât really worried.
Because she knew the White Cat had a very complex feeling towards Gu Qiaoqiao.
There was attachment, admiration, and an indescribable indulgence.
That was why the White Cat would never harm Gu Qiaoqiao.
Especially now, at this moment when it needed Gu Qiaoqiao the most.
