Chapter 138 Mingyue and Chu Mingzhou Appear
Su Nuannuan showed no fear as she walked past Zhou Menglu and spoke to Huang Ajiao.

"Hello, Mr. Huang. My name is Su Nuannuan, a student at Beijing University. A Qiu, who was just beaten, is my friend. How would you like to handle this matter?"

Huang Ajiao was surprised that this young girl was the one who made the decision. It wasn't that Su Nuannuan looked unremarkable, but rather that she looked so young that people subconsciously overlooked her.

However, Huang Ajiao is no ordinary woman for being able to open a restaurant in Beijing, a city where land is incredibly expensive; she has never been wrong in her judgment of people.

She smiled reassuringly at Su Nuannuan.

“Ah Qiu is an employee I hired. Since something happened to her, I will naturally seek justice for her.”

Su Nuannuan did not show much joy after hearing Huang Ajiao's words, but quietly watched the woman's next move.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan had no expression, Huang Ajiao knew that this matter couldn't be resolved so easily. In the past, there had been disturbances at the restaurant, and the staff had been beaten. She could usually settle things by scarering them and giving them a little money. However, it seemed that Aqiu's matter couldn't be resolved so easily.

Huang Ajiao looked at the other three middle-aged men and said with a smile.

"Comrade Yuan, Comrade Zhao, Comrade Sun, look at that young girl from earlier, she's badly injured. What about the medical expenses?"

Zhao Qian and Sun Wei, who were called out by Huang Ajiao, quickly waved their hands and said.

"Boss Huang, it was Yuan who beat him up, you can't cause trouble for us."

"Yes, yes. We didn't do anything."

At this time, there was no joint liability. After Zhao Qian and Sun Wei spoke, Huang Ajiao had no way to deal with them and could only look to Yuan Tou.

"Comrade Yuan, what do you think?"

Yuan frowned, somewhat impatiently.

How much compensation?

Huang Ajiao looked at Su Nuannuan, who estimated Aqiu's medical expenses this time and gave a price that was two hundred yuan higher than the estimated value.

"400 yuan."

Su Nuannuan demanded such a high price because she knew Yuan Tou wouldn't give her the money easily. She set a high price first, hoping to get what she wanted in the end.

Moreover, the people who come here to eat are all wealthy and influential, and they certainly have more than 400 yuan in their hands. Su Nuannuan felt that the other party could definitely come up with the money.

When Zhou Menglu and Pang Pangpang heard Su Nuannuan's quote, they didn't think it was exaggerated at all; in fact, they felt it was a bit low.

Zhou Menglu pouted.

"Nuan Nuan, you're asking for too little. I think it should be at least a thousand yuan."

Huang Ajiao was already surprised enough to hear 400 yuan, but she didn't expect them to announce 1000 yuan. She glanced at Yuan's head, which was practically steaming, and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Comrade, 1000 yuan is definitely not enough. Comrade Yuan is only a senior technician in the machinery factory, and he has a large family to support. Where would he get that much money?"

Seeing that Huang Ajiao was on his side, Yuan Tou snorted coldly and said.

"I wouldn't give you even 400 yuan, let alone 1000. I think you're just trying to extort money from me."

As if he had thought of something, Yuan Tou's eyes darted around, and he said.

"You guys wouldn't have conspired with that mute girl from earlier, would you? Otherwise, how come you showed up right after I hit her?"

Yuan Tou's words were reasonable and well-founded. The timing was indeed too coincidental; Yuan Tou had just made his move when Su Nuannuan and her group appeared, and Su Nuannuan was even prepared to demand such a large sum of money.

Huang Ajiao's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of suspicion in her heart, but she remained outwardly calm.

Yuan Tou frequently dined at the Huanglong Grand Hotel, sometimes even bringing her a host of guests, which Huang Ajiao didn't want to offend. However, she also didn't want to offend Su Nuannuan and the others, whose identities and backgrounds she hadn't yet ascertained.

So she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan knew that Huang Ajiao was unreliable, so she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

She looked at Yuan Tou and said.

"Hmph, we're all students at Beijing University, and we're not short of money. We have no reason to extort you. On the contrary, you probably don't want to pay back the money, do you?" Su Nuannuan didn't give Yuan Tou a chance to continue speaking and continued.

"If you're not going to pay compensation, we'll have to call the police."

The name of Beijing University is still very useful. When Yuan Tou learned that the other party was a student of Beijing University, he was speechless.

However, Yuan Tou was unwilling to pay such a large sum of money. Seeing that Su Nuannuan and the others were not very old, Yuan Tou attempted to intimidate them.

He picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, smashed it on the ground, and said angrily.

"What compensation?! That mute guy was the one who tried to throw away our food before we finished eating. Now you're trying to extort money from us? Is there no justice in this world? Is this how Beijing University educates you?"

Su Nuannuan watched Yuan Tou's performance quietly. Ultimately, Yuan Tou's goal was to avoid paying compensation. However, his tactics were ineffective against Su Nuannuan. Because if he didn't pay, Su Nuannuan would genuinely send him to the police station.

The reason they haven't taken any action yet is simply to make Yuan lose more money.

Seeing Yuan Tou like this, Zhou Menglu frowned and wanted to step forward. However, Su Nuannuan stopped her.

She looked coldly at Yuan Tou and said.

"Either pay compensation or hand them over to the police."

Seeing that the two were deadlocked and that a lot of people had gathered at the door, Huang Ajiao knew that things could not be delayed any longer.

However, before she could even speak, Yuan Tou seemed enraged by Su Nuannuan's words. He grabbed a porcelain plate and was about to smash it against her.

A cold glint flashed in Su Nuannuan's eyes as she reached behind her to grab a vase. If Yuan Tou dared to throw the plate at her, Su Nuannuan wouldn't let him get away with it.

However, before Su Nuannuan could make a move, a person suddenly appeared beside her. He grabbed Yuan Tou's hand that was holding the porcelain plate, and with his other hand, he shielded Su Nuannuan behind him.

It's Chu Mingzhou!

Su Nuannuan looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in surprise.

Chu Mingzhou gripped Yuan Tou's hand tightly, and the porcelain plate in Yuan Tou's hand instantly fell and shattered on the ground.

The shrill sound shattered the silence in the room. Seeing that Yuan Tou still dared to violently attack people, Zhou Menglu immediately refused to stand up for herself.

"You bastard, you dare to hit someone! Fatty, teach him a lesson!"

After Zhou Menglu finished speaking, Pang Pangpang picked up the vase in his hand and was about to smash it on Yuan's head.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan's eyes narrowed, and she quickly tugged at Pang Pang's clothes.

"Monroe, Fatty, don't be impulsive."

Yuan is the one who initiated the attack. If they take action, they will be in the wrong.

Seeing this, Chu Mingzhou pushed Yuan Tou aside and, taking advantage of his height, snatched the vase from Pang Pangpang's hand.

At that moment, a stern voice rang out.

"Fatty Pang, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing the voice, Pang Pang froze, reacting a beat late before turning around. Seeing the newcomer, he managed a forced smile.

"Mingyue, what are you doing here?"

Mingyue looked at Pangpang expressionlessly and said.

"How would I know you were so bold as to hit someone if I wasn't here?"

After reprimanding Pang Pangpang, Mingyue turned her gaze to Su Nuannuan.

"And you, Su Nuannuan, you're quite bold too."

When Su Nuannuan saw that the person who came was Ming Yue, she gave an awkward smile.
