Chapter 1370: I Am Mistaken [Chinese Poem]Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Before Zhang Zian’s brain gave him instructions on what to do, his hand had shifted from the teacup to the cat’s hair. He picked the cat’s hair up by pinching it, and fixedly watch it.

Compared with the cat hair that can be found in the pet store, this yellowish cat hair feels dry and seemed to have lost its luster. If he is not mistaken, this should be a hair from an old cat.

Does this restaurant own cats?

“What do you think?”

“Ah? What?”

Zhang Zian returned to his senses. It seems that Zhuang Xiaodie has said a lot to him, but he had not spoken a single word. At this time, he can only give a cursory response.

When the words left his mouth, he knew that he did really bad already.

To be distracted whilst on a blind is a big nono. It will be difficult for him to defend his own actions. If the girl he is meeting is a temperamental girl that fuses easily, she might have already left. He will have no one to blame but himself.

He is also very annoyed at himself, why is he so completely attracted by an ordinary strand of cat hair? This is really rude of him.

At this time, Zhuang Xiaodie also noticed the cat hair in his hand, and suddenly her face changed immediately.

“Sorry, I…”

At this time, he can only profusely apologize to her. It is useless to find an excuse. Even if he suspects that the other party is a gold digger, he still did wrong on this matter.

However, Zhuang Xiaodie interrupted his apology and said, “Waitress, please come over.”

Her voice changed immediately from being very soft and sweet to one that sounded very strict.

The waitress and the store manager both heard the anger in her voice, and both ran forward and asked, “How may we assist you…”

“Why do you have animal hair in the tea? How are you doing business like this?” Zhuang Xiaodie asked while pointing at the cat hair in Zhang Zian’s hand.

Her face is frosty, and her voice is so sharp that she transformed from a fairy that descended from the heavens to a strict human empress dowager.

Zhang Zian was stunned; this script seems to be wrong? If she is a gold digger, she should be on the side of the tea house. Why did she deliberately take the initiative to make such a ruckus? What kind of games is she playing?

The store manager and the waitress looked at the cat hair in amazement, and he does not know what to make of their expressions.

Little Snow heard the commotion and turned to look. She wondered what all the excitement is about – she didn’t like to watch when people argue, but this time she brought her fans with her to explore the store. Thus, food safety and hygiene is an important part of the review.

“This is a cat hair, do you have a cat?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Do we have a cat? No! This cat hair has nothing to do with this store…” The waitress hurriedly argued, “Is it brought in by you?”

The store manager pulled the waitress, indicating to her not to carry on further. She said sullenly, “I’m sorry, it’s our mistake, come, let me change your meal for free.”

“What? Let’s go and check the CCTVs. It must be them…” The waitress is still not convinced, and she continued to shot her mouth off. It is obvious that these two customers are deliberately deceitful. She cannot believe that this lady in such a beautiful traditional customer would employ such underhanded methods.

Zhuang Xiaodie’s facial expression turned colder. If it wasn’t for the store manager using her hand to cover the waitress’s mouth, she might have slammed the table and started a brawl.

“You all misunderstood me.” Seeing that the two sides were ready to quarrel, Zhang Zian had to stand up and mediate. “First of all, this cat hair is not brought by us, and secondly it is not found in the refreshment, but on the table. So, please, everyone. Calm down.”

Now, as things stand, he began to question his previous judgment. This is because it does not seem like acting to him. If this is indeed an act, then these three ladies deserve an oscar for their efforts.

It was not found in the refreshment. This has nothing to do with food safety and hygiene. He tried to explain the misunderstanding to both parties. It is only a small matter and is nothing too serious. With him coming forward to explain clearly the issue at hand, it is much better than arguing and asking to view the CCTV.

The cat hair was found on the side of the table near him. However, he was sure that there was no elderly cat in the pet store, so it would not be brought by him.

He came forward to mediate, proving that he and Zhuang Xiaodie did not come to blackmail deliberately. This made the store manager and the waitress rather embarrassed, and their face had a significant change.

“There is no cat in this store, but the cat hair on the table is still the mistake of the store. As compensation, the two tea sets are free from us. Please take it as our apology from us to both of you.” The store manager gave a slight bow and took on full responsibility for the matter.

It makes sense to say that this situation is very interesting. There is no need to do this at all. The cat hair in the food, and it is difficult to prove the source of the cat hair. An ordinary shop will certainly argue that it is not at fault and will not give in so easily.

“No, since it is not the cat hair in the refreshment, you can take it that I was wrong.” Zhuang Xiaodie also moderated her tone in a timely manner, but her face still not looked all that good. She magically pulled out a credit card that has a butterfly print printed on one side and said, “Bill, please.”

“How can this be. Let me do it…”

Zhang Zian doesn’t want to pretend that he wants to pay for the tea, but sometimes he has to do this. He now believes that Zhuang Xiaodie is not a gold digger. Since this is the first time they meet, there is no reason to make the girl pay for the meal.

Despite him feeling for his own pocket, he was not putting on a show to insist on getting the check. He really did pull out his phone and intended to make payment.

“No, this location is my choice. By right, it should be me treating you. You can pay for me the next time.” Zhuang Xiaodie still held the credit card out with her hand.

Next time?

Zhang Zian smiled in his heart, thinking…I couldn’t be hearing the wrong words, can I?

This time, he had committed all the taboos on a blind date. If he could have a second date with her, that would be crazy.

The store manager did not provide them with a QR code and did not take the credit card. She took a step back and said firmly. “This time, the tea is free of charge, and the two of you don’t have to pay. If you think the store is OK, welcome to come again next time.”

After that, she pulled the waitress, who was still complaining away, back into the counter.

If people don’t want to collect the money, there is no way to force them to. Nowadays, people do not bring physical cash out with them, much less thousands of dollars. They can’t possibly stuff them the money, can they?

“Let’s go.” Zhuang Xiaodie gently wiped her red lips with a napkin. “I really shouldn’t choose here. Even basic hygiene is not done properly. Besides a well-known name, it stands for nothing else.”

She had only eaten a few mouthfuls from her tea set, and Zhang Zian’s refreshments were not touched at all.

It’s a waste leaving it all behind.

He wanted to finish up the meal at least because corruption and wastage are the worse crimes. However, she had already got up, and he is too embarrassed to sit on.

Little Snow whispered to the netizens to describe the scene. From her tone, it seems that she is more appreciative of the attitude of the store manager, but she did not think that Zhuang Xiaodie was unreasonable. After all, for such a high-end restaurant, customers are likely to scrutinize the place more.

The two of them went out of the teahouse.

“Let’s go down the mountain together.” She swayed her sleeves and pointed to the mountain road.

“Ok.”

Zhang Zian stepped on the mountain road with her. Just as they were leaving the mountain, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the Teahouse In Hidden Fog.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“It seems like…something has fallen,” he said blankly.
