138: Would not have treated us the same.

Would not have treated us the same.

Ning Meiling was really insulted after He Lian and He Ling made their apologies to Li Xue. It felt like she was slapped on her face. After they left, Mia quickly walked to Li Xue and said with a slight whisper. "Li Xue, is it only me who felt that Chef Ning was not happy seeing her trainees apologize for their faults?"0

Li Xue looked at the girl and patted her shoulders lightly. "Of course, she won't be happy seeing them apologize. Who would like their teammates to be at fault? Even if I would be at her place, I would be upset", she said, turning to walk back to the counter.

"Li Xue, I can bet that you won't be the same as her" Mia said, making Li Xue halt her movements and turn again to face her. "Yes Li Xue, with my knowledge about your nature and personality, I am sure that even if we were at any fault, you would not have been that way. Rather you would have apologized first before asking us to do so" Mia continued, showing her best confidence in her words.

Li Xue did not say anything. She just smiled and nodded. Yes, she would have done something like that. If her team ever comes to a fault then being the leader she must be the first one to apologize for that, before making her teammates do so.

Nodding she turned to walk to the counter but before she could even take a step ahead, Chen Yujian came to block her path, making her raise her brows at him. "What? Do you need anything?" She asked when she saw him not budging away from her way.

Portraying his unique shamelessness, Chen Yujian nodded his head. "Praises!"

"What for? Are you asking praises for helping me out there? If yes, then let me tell you I never asked your help. So there is no need for me to be any grateful to you", Li Xue said and again moved to the other side to pass him. But being all stubborn, the man again came to block her.

"I did not ask you to be grateful. I asked for your praises, my dear Xena!" Chen Yujian said, revealing his intentions again.

"My praises? Did you do something for it?" she ignored his actions the same as he did to the twins. Though it was to help her she would still not take any rudeness against any girl. They simply do not deserve something like this.

"I followed your mantra of discipline and obedience. Won't you encourage me with your praises?" he asked, blinking his brown eyes in need. Like this, he looked more like a puppy who desired attention from his owner.

"You …" Li Xue was about to deny him but at this moment Mia who was also present on the scene jumped forwards to support him. "Li Xue, I think Brother Yujian … oh I am sorry I forgot I can't call him brother" she paused biting her tongue on her mistake and then continued, "I think Intern-Chef Chen is right. He deserves your praises for his discipline today."

Li Xue turned to squint her eyes at the young girl who has definitely become a fan of the man. "Really? Do you want me to praise him for his actions?" she asked, even though she knew the answer.

In response to the question, Mia nodded her head profusely making Li Xue smile at her cute action. "Fine then", she agreed with a pause and then turning her attention back at the man she continued, "You did a great job. Keep it up!"

Saying this, she made her way, but not before adding "Mia, you did a good job too. You have also been real polite with your gesture with Chef Ning before. You did not let our team down. Keep it up!"

Her words were simple but it conveyed the right meaning behind. But not like Chen Yujian cared for it. He was all happy with the fact that he got what he asked for, the rest does not matter to him. He was already very polite before, if not then Ning Meiling would not have left only with her fists clenched rather with eyes full of tears.

His lips curled up with a smirk as he looked at Mia and said. "You can call me Brother. I won't mind that". His words instantly made Mia jump up with joy internally but on the outside, she tried her best to control it.

"Fine, if you both are done with your discussion then don't forget we need to work too. Come here and take your work and position", Li Xue called from behind, making the two scramble their legs into action.

On the other side, He Lian and He Ling were having a tough time under their supervisor in chief, Ning Meiling. They have not expected that their intention of looking down on Li Xue and covet Chen Yujian to their team will backlash them like this.

"Chef Ning, believe us! We never intended to down you in front of that newbie. We have just gone to see Brother Yujian there and when found him getting harassed. We just could not control our action and ended up that way", He Lian said as her eyes asked her sister, He Ling to agree to her words.

"Yes, yes, He Lian is saying right, Chef Ning. We did nothing. That new head chef, Li Xue is an evil one. And it must be because of her fear that Brother Yujian has not said anything against her. Don't worry we will again go next time and ask him to come to our team", He Ling added, feeling a little embarrassed that she did not succeed in the work she has given her attention to.

Their words did not bring any good to Ning Meiling but infuriated her more. "You want to go to him again? For what? To bring more insults for me? You better not do anything like this again or I will not care but kick you two out from my care. Did you get it? Or want me to show you an example?" she jeered dangerously.

"We are sorry, Chef Ning! We won't repeat it again" the twin said in one tone, showing their guilt.

But their words did not bring the relief she was looking for. "This Li Xue really dared to mess up with me on her very first day. Arghh!!! She snatched away Chen Yujian from my side and then insulted me. I can't let her off this easily. I just can't let her off this easily", she sprouted out darkly as her eyes showed the evil glints of dark maliciousness.
