After being introduced, Youyou's expression became noticeably happier and more lively.
Perhaps, simply feeling loved makes people brave.
All kinds of small games began one after another. Xu Tingyu sat at a table with Youyou, Shushu and the others, applauding and congratulating from time to time.
This was how their victory celebration was - there wasn't even a speech from the leader. It was purely for eating, drinking and having fun.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but there was always someone who wanted to spoil the mood.
Just as the host was calling for volunteers for a small game, a waitress suddenly rushed onto the stage.
She snatched the microphone from the host and immediately started shouting abuse.
"Xu Tingyu, you're so heartless! You've killed so many people, yet here you sit, looking like a successful person."
"You're just trash. You should rot in the garbage heap, not sit here enjoying people's admiration."
There was a moment of silence in the venue, followed by an uproar.
Fortunately, the host was quick - witted. He took a quick step forward and snatched the microphone back.
But the waitress still kept shouting and making a fuss.
It wasn't until the security guards rushed up and pinned her down that Xu Tingyu realized that this waitress was actually Su Yue.
She really was a persistent ghost.
Xu Tingyu had no choice but to take the stage, take the microphone from the host, and said with a smile, "Dear friends, it's okay. This is an old acquaintance of mine. We have some old grudges."
"I'll go and deal with this now. Don't let this little incident spoil your mood. Today's occasion belongs to you all."
"Of course, to calm your nerves, I'll personally offer a 100,000 - yuan red envelope. One thousand yuan per prize for a lucky draw."
After saying that, she returned the microphone to the host amidst the cheers and then walked out of the private room.
Su Yue was still firmly held down by the security guards, but she kept cursing, as if she hated Xu Tingyu to the bone.
Xu Tingyu sized her up and found that she looked even more haggard than before. She couldn't help but feel curious.
"Did you come here to work as a waitress just to scold me, or did you see me after you started working here and then decided to scold me?"
Why did this woman go crazy every time she saw her?
But she also didn't believe that Su Yue would end up working as a waitress here.
Wasn't it said that Su Yi was with that Zhao You and they were even talking about getting married? How could they be so poor?
Su Yue looked at her, her eyes red from the intensity of her emotions. "I not only want to scold you, but I also want to kill you. You're a devil. You've ruined me."
Hearing this, Xu Tingyu knew that she really had come to work here as a waitress.
"First of all, I'd like to make it clear that I definitely don't look down on any occupation."
"But has the Su family really fallen to this point that you have to take this job?"
Xu Tingyu didn't discriminate against any occupation.
But she knew Su Yue better.
How could a vain person like Su Yue be willing to be a mere waitress?
"You still have the nerve to mention the Su family? Because of a trivial joke back then, you and your Xu family have been constantly targeting the Su family."
"Not only your Xu family, but also the Shen family. Even now, the Qi Group has been targeting us."
"Didn't we pay the price back then? Our lives have been ruined. What else do you want?"
"Do you really have to drive us to the end? My brother finally got a bit of a break, and you made him fall back to the bottom. Are you really going to force us to death?"
Su Yue broke down and cried.
She really had a hard time recently. That Zhao You was not an easy - going person.
Since Zhao You moved in, she had been treating Su Yue like a servant.
Originally, taking care of the children was already tiring enough for her.
Now, not only did she have to take care of the children, but she also had to serve Zhao You.
She thought that by doing so, Zhao You would surely give her some benefits.
But who would have thought that Zhao You didn't even have any money herself. The Zhao family had basically cut off contact with her.
She had gone back to beg once, but was still mercilessly driven out.
Normally, a person like Su Yi would surely break up with Zhao You, since there was no more benefit to be gained from her.
But somehow, Zhao You got pregnant.
The Su family hadn't had any happy events for many years, and they thought that once Zhao You gave birth, the Zhao family would surely show some signs of reconciliation.
So they told Zhao You to stay at home and rest during her pregnancy.
Su Yi was still the same as before, never at home. Zhao You was unhappy and took it out on Su Yue.
So after Su Yue couldn't bear it anymore, she had a fight with Zhao You.
As a result, the Su family sided with Zhao You and told her to get out of the Su family.
She had been relying on the Su family for so many years, so of course she wouldn't leave easily.
So the Su family proposed that she should pay for the household expenses and they would judge her performance.
If she behaved well, they would try their best to introduce a rich man to her.
Although they had said such things many times, Su Yue was too deeply tied to the Su family. She still had to believe and take a chance that this time it would be true.
So she had to go out and look for a job.
But she had a bad record and didn't study hard when she was in school. She had spent all her time on improper things.
The internet celebrity company she had signed with before said they would create a rich - girl persona for her, but later, due to various problems, they gave up.
Now they only paid her a base salary of two or three thousand yuan a month and asked her to do some sales work. She could earn no more than ten thousand yuan a month at most.
But the Su family asked her to pay for the household expenses, saying that the rent and food together cost ten thousand yuan.
She was forced into a corner. In order to have a better life in the future, she had to take on another job.
Since her anchor job had an irregular schedule, her second job could only be a part - time one, and there were very few options.
She finally found this restaurant. The pay was calculated by the hour and was not too low.
But on her first day of work, she saw Xu Tingyu and the others having a victory celebration.
When she was serving dishes, she saw Xu Tingyu sitting there, dressed in jewels, with people around her smiling and greeting her.
Su Yue of course couldn't stand it.
"Why do you get to live such a good life while you've made me so miserable? I'm really not convinced."
Su Yue had always been holding a grudge, wanting to surpass Xu Tingyu.
But since that prank was exposed when they were young, her life had been a nightmare ever since.
"You still think it was just a prank, just a joke? Then I can only say that your current suffering is deserved."
"You're also a girl. Didn't you ever feel guilty about what you did to me back then?"
"Forget it. You're just a born bad seed. I have nothing to say to you."
"Also, you're right. I'll keep an eye on you guys. As long as you live a good life, I'll drag you back to hell."
Xu Tingyu was too lazy to waste any more words on her.
The Su siblings still refused to repent for what they did back then.
So she didn't need to show them any mercy.
At this time, the hotel manager rushed over in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu. This is a part - timer who just started today. I really had no idea."
"We've offended you. On behalf of the hotel, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm really sorry."
