"Hallucination? How could it be a hallucination! Thereâs really a snake! If you donât believe me, go to the window and see!" Duan Sishu was incredibly anxious, pulling at his collar, pointing at the window, shouting and jumping. "Go look! That snake was just glaring at me!"
"..." The waiter had never known a woman who appeared so gentle could have such strength, and what left him speechless were her wordsâwhat did she mean the snake glared at her? Could snakes even glare?
But the person in front of him was a hotel guest, and a relative of the hostâs daughterâs fiancĂ©, so the waiter could only try his best to maintain a smile, while gently removing Duan Sishuâs hand and saying, "Maâam, youâre really tired. I think you should take a good rest. If youâre not satisfied with this room, I can arrange another one for you."
"What do you mean by that? You donât believe me?" In Duan Sishuâs eyes, even the waiterâs polite smile seemed like mockery.
"Maâam, you misunderstand. Iâm just saying... itâs winter, and snakes donât come out, especially pythonsâsuch large targets, our hotelâs security personnel would definitely see it. So what you are saying is quite hard to believe."
"Then what are you saying? Are you implying Iâm lying?" Duan Sishuâs voice rose in pitch.
The waiter remained silent, but indeed he thought she was making things up.
Duan Sishu was provoked by his attitude, plus considering that this hotel belonged to the Ruan Family, felt they were deliberately treating her poorly. Her emotions became a bit uncontrollable, and she started scratching and hitting the waiter.
After Ruan Hao took over, Ruanâs hotel staff underwent professional training and were never supposed to retaliate against guests. No matter how the waiter dodged, he couldnât avoid being hurt by Duan Sishu. By the time other waiters rushed over, the waiter already looked disheveled, with several bloody scratches on his face.
A few waiters quickly came up and pulled her away, but even then, Duan Sishuâs arrogance was rampant, cursing at the waiter, "I will complain about you! Complain about your hotel! This third-rate hotel run by riffraff, indeed all of you are bumpkins!"
When Jiaojiao, Duan Xi, and others arrived upon hearing the commotion, they were greeted with Duan Sishuâs outburst, comparable to a shrew screaming on the street.
Jiaojiao was quite taken aback. Ever since they moved away from Xiahe Village, she hadnât seen such a scene in years, not even her grandmother showed such behavior anymore. She never expected to hear it from Duan Sishuâs mouth.
Who was Duan Sishu? She was the daughter of the Duan Family, a renowned socialite of Beidu!
The faces of the Ruan Family members were looking bad, especially Duan Qianyangâs.
What day was it today? Today was his sonâs engagement day! Whether for him or for Duan Xi, it was the most important day currently.
He had always known Duan Sishu disliked Duan Xi, never having disguised it, especially in the first two years when she would often speak ill of him.
Although he didnât like it, he never said anything. After all, one was his sister, the other his son, both dear to him. The only thing he could do was to ensure the two rarely faced each other directly.
But he hadnât expected Duan Sishu would disregard him to such an extent, causing such chaos on a day so crucial, leaving both families utterly humiliated.
