149: Not Giving Face

Not Giving Face

When the receptionist saw Lu Ning, she flashed a smile at her. "Miss Lù, you're here."0

Lu Ning nodded. "Do you have a table now?"

The young woman at the front desk glanced at a screen. "We don't have any private rooms available right now. How about downstairs, over there? There are still two tables."

Lu Ning nodded. "Okay."

The young woman smiled. "Alright, please wait a moment. I'll have…"

Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly grabbed her.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The young woman turned her head towards her. "Sister Luy, I'm arranging a table for Miss Lù."

Lu Ning glanced at her nametag—[Sun Luy].

Sun Luy rolled her eyes at the young woman. "What arrangements even? Stand aside."

The young woman was astounded, and could only move to the side.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu. As you know, you need to make a reservation a week in advance. We don't have many tables now, do you want me to make a reservation for you first?"

Lu Ning glared at her and silently endured it.

"Fine."

"Alright, we'll call you if we have a reservation for you. Please take note."

Lu Ning had only turned around when she heard her voice from behind.

"Don't you follow the news? You really know nothing. Do you think we allow just about anybody to enter our establishment?! Tsk, what arrangements! She's not the real Miss Lù, make sure you get it straight. How will someone as pig-brained as you survive here in the future?! Did you hear what I said?"

"But…"

"No buts! Make any more mistakes, and I'll transfer you to the kitchen to wash the dishes!"

Lu Ning spun around and gave Sun Luy a cold, steely glare.

"You want to wash dishes in the kitchen?"

Sun Luy looked towards Lu Ning with disdain. Of course, she knew that Lu Ning had heard what she said; she did it on purpose.

"Miss Lu, is there anything else?"

Lu Ning fixed an icy gaze on her. "Answer my question! Do you want to quit?"

Acting as though she had just heard something absurd, Sun Luy snickered, then looked at Lu Ning. "Miss Lu, do you still fancy yourself the Young Mistress of the Lù family? Look carefully at which Lu you are; they might have the same pronunciation, but they're different words and far different fates.

"I'm being polite, so don't be so shameless."

The young woman standing behind her was red with embarrassment. "Sister Luy, please stop it!"

"Get lost! It's none of your business! Some people are just so used to being a young mistress they won't even face reality. Not just any ordinary person can enter this establishment; you may not even be able to afford a single meal here. You've got to give yourself a reality check: are you even worthy?"

Lu Ning glowered at her and slammed the front desk with her hand.

Sun Luy jumped in surprise, but when she looked at Lu Ning she put on a very arrogant front. "What, going to get violent?"

Lu Ning was about to speak up when someone held her shoulder.

"Ning'ning, what's wrong?"

Lu Ning turned and saw Lu Zhi.

Lu Ning did not want to make an example of her in front of Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci; she was about to shake her head when a haughty voice came from the other side again. "Hmph, your family looks so poor!"

Picking up a stack of business cards from the desk, Lu Ning pulled her arm back and flung the cards at her face with peerless accuracy.

"What was that?! How dare you! I'm calling the police, how dare you hit me!"

Before she finished shouting, two voices suddenly rang out from behind Lu Ning.

"Hello, Boss."

"Boss, why did you come without telling us anything?"

Sun Luy's mind went blank.

Boss? What boss? Where's the boss?!
