good old days

As long as the waitress can find other jobs, she will not come to Nanhua Pavilion to work as a waitress.

However, not just anyone can be a waiter at Nanhua Pavilion. First of all, they must be bilingual and good-looking. Working in the front office, the salary plus tips is actually quite considerable.

She didn't expect that she would be fired, and said excitedly: "Manager, I will never do this again. My family needs money. Someone gave me money to add these things to her water. I don't know. Drugs, drugs, and she is fine. I only continued to add more drugs because I saw that she was fine."

Chen Jiajia said angrily: "You are lying. When I had an attack a while ago, you pretended to care about me. You said you didn't know what you added?"

The waitress was indeed lying. Someone gave her money to add something to Chen Jiajia's water. It wasn't like they gave her money that could buy her life in one go. She didn't dare to directly tell her what it was when she didn't know what it was. Action, if some poison kills someone, she will still have to bear legal responsibility.

She's not a fool, there's no way she'd put herself in it for a thousand dollars.

Just because she was afraid of something happening, she didn't dare to add much ingredients every time before. This gave Chen Jiajia the opportunity to overcome it on her own.

"If you have anything to say, talk to the police."

The waitress pulled Chen Jiajia down and knelt down in front of her, "I know who wants to harm you. I will tell you the truth. Don't hold me responsible."

Chen Jiajia was a person who had a hard time dealing with things about herself. At this moment, she looked at her quietly, waiting for her to tell the police who was behind the scenes.

"The person who asked me to give you drugs was a bearded man from Kennelay Street. I was worried that something might happen, so I followed him secretly after accepting the money. I saw him talking to a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. That woman I also came to Nanhua Pavilion for dinner with your suitor, Professor."

Kennelay Street is a street very close to Chinatown. This neighborhood exudes a completely different flavor from other streets. The people walking in it are "weird" and full of poverty and chaos. Under the poverty and chaos are decay and crime.

The bearded man with flowery arms described by the waitress is one of the homeless people on the streets. He has no home and makes the streets his home. He spends all the money he has on buying fans.

Chen Jiajia: "Professor Steve?"

The waiter nodded without hesitation, "He tips very generously and has been coming here once a week since he found out you were working part-time. I suspect he is the mastermind behind this."

She had already guessed Steve's purpose, which was to get Chen Jiajia addicted to drugs to the point where she couldn't quit. In order to take another puff, she would do anything he asked her to do.

Drug addicts will do all kinds of crazy things when they are high. She thinks that Steve made Chen Jiajia addicted to drugs in order to better control and dominate her.

Chen Jiajia's chest rose and fell.

She was angry that Steve had quietly abandoned her once, and now he wanted to lead her into corruption. He was an out-and-out bastard.

"Manager, hand her over to the police. I'll take leave this afternoon to deal with this matter."

The woman was unwilling to give in: "I have confessed everything, you can't hand me over to the police again."

Chen Jiajia felt ridiculous when she heard this. If she really fell into the trap, who knows what would happen.

A few fluttering words, don't you want to pay any price?
She broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of Steve's offer to take her back to school when she got off work at night last week. If she hadn't refused and got into his car, what would she have looked like when she woke up the next day?
Wei Ming's initial warning to her was too harsh. She remembered it clearly. At that time, she never thought that it would really happen to her.

Damn Steve!

Chen Jiajia returned to school but could not find Steve. Thinking of the dental clinic outside the school, she impulsively killed him.

In the clinic, Nina and her partner Lisa were working. Lisa raised her eyebrows when she saw Chen Jiajia pushing the door open.

The woman with brown hair and blue eyes had been to Nanhua Pavilion with Chen Jiajia. Chen Jiajia also had some impressions of her. She did not expect to see her here.

She looked at Lisa: "Are you Steve's former fiancée?"

Lisa pointed to the side, "Nina is the one." At that moment, something flashed through Chen Jiajia's mind, but she couldn't accurately capture it for a moment.

"Do you know where Steve lives? I have something to do with him."

Nina and Lisa tried to ask her about the purpose of looking for Steve, but due to Lisa, Chen Jiajia remained cautiously silent.

Steve drove up half an hour later. He entered the clinic with a cheerful face. When he saw Chen Jiajia, he said in an expectant tone: "Oh, Jiajia, I heard you were looking for me."

What greeted him was not Chen Jiajia's smiling face, but an angry slap.

"You are a despicable and shameless villain. You are looking for someone to drug me to achieve your goals. A morally corrupt person like you is actually a school teacher. It's so ridiculous..."

Angry to the extreme, Chen Jiajia was the one scolding him in Chinese.

Nina and the others couldn't understand, but they were dumbfounded.

Just as the second slap was about to fall on Steve's face, Chen Jiajia's arm was grabbed, and a slap was thrown hard on her face, sending her flying to the door, causing stars to shine in her eyes.

Steve prides himself on being of aristocratic origin, rich, talented, distinguished, and well-established. How could such a proud man allow a woman to slap him and trample his self-esteem?
He said with a cold face: "I like that you gave me the courage to slap me? I will never like you again in the future, but you have to give me an explanation for what happened today."

Chen Jiajia looked back and saw that Steve had an indifferent look on his face, no longer the hypocritical gentleman he had been in the past. Nina, Lisa and the other two customers all looked like they were watching the show.

Her face hurt to the point of numbness, and she realized that she was no match for him, so she chose to escape from here.

This is not China, and there are no parents to support her.

Apart from her father beating her once, this was the second time in her life that she had been beaten.

With tears in her eyes, Chen Jiajia went to the public phone booth and dialed the landline of Wei Ming's apartment. No one answered, so she could only leave a message.

In the clinic.

Nina expressed her distress to Steve.

Steve waved her hand away and chased out angrily.

Lisa: "What's going on with them?"

Nina looked relaxed, "Who knows what happened, but Steve won't have any interest in that woman anymore."

He would definitely not be that mean to get close to a woman who had slapped him before.

Wei Ming came to the United States to study in college because he went abroad to get gold. He usually lived a rich life. During the day, he and Chen Yi shot guns at the shooting club. At night, he went to the bar alone. He didn't go home until midnight. When he received a message from Chen Jiajia, he got a headache.

Why does Chen Jiajia come to him whenever something happens?
He had said that she could come to him if anything happened, but she didn't understand. Was that a polite word?

She must have memorized his phone number.

Why didn't she go to Chen Yi directly?

When Wei Ming was speechless, Chen Jiajia curled up on the bed and covered her head.
