To put it bluntly, he cut in line by relying on his connections, but unfortunately, the middle-aged supervisor seemed to have made a mistake in the operation, and now the matter was laid bare.
"Well... because of our mistake at work, I will give you a 20% discount on your meal expenses and give you priority in changing seats."
He seemed to see that I had guessed the twists and turns here, and he couldn't help but come closer to us and whisper to us, trying to use a discount to keep us quiet.
When I heard his words, I frowned immediately, and especially when I saw the smug look on that woman's face, I became even more furious.
But before I could say anything, Mo Yuhan, who was holding my arm, got ahead of me and slowly said to the middle-aged manager:
"We can accept to change seats."
After hearing what Mo Yuhan said, I couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and even thought that I had heard it wrong. After all, based on this girl's personality, she would never accept it so calmly.
Even though she is like a little kitten in front of me, but in front of outsiders...she is definitely a little lion who should not be provoked.
When the middle-aged manager heard her words, an expression of surprise appeared on his face, but there was a hint of shrewdness and teasing in his eyes, as if he was saying "I knew it".
"That's great, I'll let you..."
"but--"
Before he could finish, Mo Yuhan's cold voice interrupted him, and her green finger pointed directly at the woman standing not far away who was gloating over his misfortune and said:
"I need her to apologize to my teacher!"

Chapter 217 Referee and Teacher
"What? You want me to apologize!"
After hearing what Mo Yuhan said, the woman immediately showed an expression of disbelief on her face, and the middle-aged manager's originally happy expression also froze on his face.
Seeing that the situation here was getting worse, many customers around us cast various glances over here.
Some people came to watch the fun without worrying about it, some people just kept out of it, and some people called the waiter, frowned and pointed at us, as if asking what was going on.
Hearing the discussions around him, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and refined couldn't help but show a bit of displeasure on his face, and then walked towards us.
When the middle-aged manager saw him coming, he smiled at him awkwardly. After they talked for a few words, he took a step to the side and made room for him.
I don't know why, but after hearing his voice, I always felt that it sounded familiar for no reason, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't remember where I heard it before, especially... I was very sure that I had never seen this man before.
But maybe it was because the first impression he gave me was not very good, or maybe it was just a simple intuition, I always felt that the man in front of me was not as glamorous as he seemed.
As if he felt that my gaze revealed some hostility, he looked at me with vigilance. However, when he noticed Mo Yuhan holding my arm, his eyes inexplicably lit up and his whole demeanor changed.
But what concerned me was that, unlike the possessiveness or desire for conquest revealed in most people's eyes, his eyes revealed shrewdness and calculation, and his eyes frequently lingered on her clothes, as if he saw some bargaining chips that could be used.
"Hahaha, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Meng Wendong."
He introduced himself with a smile, then slowly glanced at Mo Yuhan in my arms, and then slowly asked her:
"Hey... little sister, you just said... this is your teacher?"
"..."
After hearing what he said, Mo Yuhan didn't respond to him. She just looked at him coldly, and then deliberately leaned towards my arms.
Such different treatment made him look embarrassed. He looked at me with a look of jealousy and scrutiny, then smiled and said to Mo Yuhan slowly:
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I really don't mean anything else. Let's put it this way... since everyone is here to eat, I just happen to have an idea."
When he said this, he glanced at me without leaving a trace, his eyes constantly wandering around my clothes, accessories, waist, wrists, and shoes, and then he smiled knowingly and continued:
"As the saying goes...No fight, no friendship. Why don't we just eat together? I'll treat you. Let's turn hostility into friendship. Let's each take a step back and let the restaurant do business well."
When he said this, he looked at the middle-aged supervisor who was standing next to him. The middle-aged supervisor was also a smart guy. After seeing his eyes, he immediately nodded in understanding.
"Okay, okay, I think...Mr. Meng has a good idea."
When the woman next to Meng Wendong heard what he said, her face turned a little ugly, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at Mo Yuhan with some resentment.
This is really... a good start!
I don't really believe that there is such a good thing as pie falling from the sky in this world. As the saying goes, if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Of course...it is also possible that he is both.
Although judging a person's behavior based solely on intuition and first impression is not a good idea, I have to say... my intuition in this regard is always surprisingly consistent with the truth.
Just when the middle-aged supervisor was about to ask the waiter to make room for us, Mo Yuhan suddenly arched her back towards my arms, rubbing her little head against my chin, making me feel a little itchy.
"what happened?"
"I kind of hate the look in that man's eyes."
A bit annoying?
After hearing what Mo Yuhan said, I was a little confused, because this girl rarely cares about the eyes of people around her, or...almost doesn't care.
In her own words, it is a foolish thing to focus your limited attention on strangers.
In fact, this girl also practices what she said.
So this was the first time I heard this girl say that she hated the look of a stranger, which made me confused and surprised.
But I soon understood that if there was anyone that Mo Yuhan hated the most, it would be those people who had approached her with ulterior motives and various purposes in order to establish a relationship with Mo Fushan.
Although this is just my guess, there is no need for a sufficient reason to reject someone. For me... as long as this girl is unhappy, that is the most sufficient reason for me to reject them.
"No need, we can just have our meal here. As for the apology, I can let it go, but she must apologize for pushing my student."
My words froze the middle-aged manager in place, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at me. After hearing what I said, some customers around me also showed a bit of coldness in their eyes.
It feels like Meng Wendong is the gentleman, and I am the villain who only cares about myself.
Maybe some people at this time will use words like "harmony is the most important thing" and "the overall situation is more important" to pressure me, but for me...why should I cater to the "harmony" and "overall situation" that others talk about?
What does this have to do with me?
The so-called compromise is a helpless act. If there are other choices, why should we put ourselves and the people around us in a difficult position?
"Sir... I hope you won't be unreasonable."
After hearing his words, Mo Yuhan couldn't help but pursed her lips. She was about to say something, but was stopped by me.
However, I didn't stop her because I was afraid of causing a conflict, but because as a teacher, I can't always hide behind my students.
"In other words, you also know that you are not in the right?"
I smiled and shrugged at Meng Wendong, but when he heard what I said, his face suddenly darkened, as if he had reached the limit of his patience, and he said to me coldly:
"Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?"
I didn't choose to avoid his aggressive attitude, but stared at him straight without any intention of backing down.
As for whether this matter should be resolved peacefully, that is not something I should consider.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, touched Mo Yuhan's little head, pulled her behind me, and then took a step forward.
"It seems so."
I am a teacher, not a referee. No matter when, I will definitely stand on Mo Yuhan's side unconditionally.
Chapter 218 Tongyanwuji
At this moment, I only felt that the air around me seemed to be solidified, and Meng Wendong's face was twitching. His originally handsome and gentle face became a little distorted at this moment.
He seemed like he was about to lose his temper, but after taking one look at Mo Yuhan who I had held behind me, he forced himself to suppress his anger and resisted the urge to lose his temper. This made me admire his patience.
But he held back. After the woman behind him heard my words that I wanted her to apologize in public, she was obviously a little impatient. Especially after she saw that Meng Wendong did not say anything further, she immediately rushed to say:
"Humph, what student? I think the relationship between you two is more than just a teacher-student relationship!"
After hearing her words, Mo Yuhan was like a little lion whose tail was stepped on. She frowned slightly, took two steps forward angrily, and her eyes showed the coldness of winter.
"It's not your turn to talk about the relationship between me and my teacher!"
When the woman saw Mo Yuhan's eyes, she was obviously frightened, but it seemed that the many people around her gave her some courage and guts.
It might also be because it was a bit embarrassing to lose in public. After hearing Mo Yuhan's cold words, she was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, pointed at us and continued:
"Huh, you two were almost touching each other just now, are you having a teacher-student relationship? Haha... It's really interesting. I don't think you are a rich teacher. You won't ask your students to pay for you later, right?"
"you--"
After hearing her words, Mo Yuhan wanted to say something to refute, but as if he was afraid that I would get hurt, he turned his head to look at me repeatedly and did not say anything for a long time.
But the woman seemed to think she had discovered my weakness. She showed a sarcastic and mocking smile on her face and began to talk frantically about the topic:
"Hey, you really have no ethics as a teacher. I don't know what your students' parents would think when they see you like this. Haha... Just thinking about it makes me feel very interesting."
After hearing her words, Mo Yuhan couldn't help biting her lips, wanting to say something... but didn't know how to start. Seeing this, I patted her on the back, then turned my head and shrugged at her, indicating that I didn't really care about what she said.
Of course, I am just pretending. I am not an emotionless robot. How could I not feel anything about what others say?
Especially since what she said were exactly the facts, which sounded particularly ironic to me. To be honest... I finally understood why there is a term called "equal status".
Even if Mo Yuhan and I don't have that kind of relationship, but just a teacher-student relationship...all kinds of bad things happened just because of the gap in our family backgrounds.
I dare say that if I were a kid from a wealthy family, and I were wearing an outfit worth tens of thousands of yuan and a famous watch like a Rolex, the person in front of me would definitely not dare to say a word.
But obviously, I don't have any of these. It's very difficult for an outsider to force his way into a circle. For example...I might be the one being ridiculed here.
But if I take Mo Yuhan to some ordinary occasions, some people will laugh at her for pretending and buying fake brand-name clothes for whom, because they simply won't believe that the daughter of the chairman of a leading enterprise would act like a sophomore student buying snacks from a street vendor.
I used to be indignant about why the world is so unfair, but as time goes by, I am no longer as cynical as I used to be, because I find that I simply cannot come into contact with such people. What's the point of thinking so much?
Just like when we talk with our friends about world affairs, from ancient times to the present, from China to abroad... and then to current affairs, it is as if we are not college students, but politicians sitting in the office thinking about the fate of mankind.
But as soon as the bell rings, the topic returns to what to eat after class.
Nothing has changed around me, the sun rises as usual, everything continues as usual...
So I used to think that I had let go of these problems, but today... I realized that it was not let go at all, I just buried the problems in my heart.
When this problem was dug up...chiselled...planed up by others with a shovel, I was not prepared to deal with it at all.
My past experiences quickly flashed through my mind, and it was not until this moment that I realized that even if I had imagined it wildly or dreamed, these girls around me...how many of them are worthy of me as I am now?
I never think that emotions can overcome everything. It is just a story told to children in fairy tale books when we were young, just a beautiful wish in the hearts of adults, and just a whitewashed cruel reality.
Of course, these thoughts were just the emotions that flashed through my mind for a moment, and I did not show them on my face, because that would only encourage the other party's arrogance and make this girl feel more guilty and troubled.
No matter whether life hands me a cookie or a cup of tea, I must keep a normal mind and accept it all calmly.
As a teacher, you need and must remain resilient. If a teacher himself is shaken, how can he teach his students?
"Haha, you are speechless, right?"
Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, the woman couldn't help but look at me with a smug look. Seeing this, I smiled at her and said slowly:
"No, I'm just curious...when will you be able to spit out the tusks."
"Elephant...tusks?"
After hearing what I said, the woman's originally arrogant attitude suddenly subsided because of my nonsensical words. She seemed to be reacting to the meaning of my words just now.
However, Mo Yuhan thought of the meaning of my words before her. After hearing what I said, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying to hold back laughter.
When the people around saw this, many of them understood what this meant and started laughing, covering their mouths.
At this time... a child sitting nearby seemed to understand, and said to his parents as if he wanted to be praised:
"I...I know, this is like a dog cannot spit out ivory!"
Children speak without restraint.
"Shh-"
When her parents heard what the child said, they quickly covered her mouth. However, the voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was loud enough for people around to hear clearly.
After hearing what the child said, the woman's face suddenly turned pale and blue. She finally realized that this was an insult to her, and she pointed at me and shouted at me angrily:
"You dare to scold me?"
"Huh? I didn't say that."
After hearing her words, I couldn't help but smile and looked at Mo Yuhan who was standing next to me, and slowly asked her:
