Gu Cha sensed the arrogance radiating from the waiter and inexplicably glared at him.
“Hmph.” Gu Cha mimicked a sharp exhale, then moved to another seat, deciding not to pay attention to the “rude” guy.
But Gu Cha was surprised to find that when he sat at the other seat, the waiter followed him and stood beside him.
Gu Cha whispered to the waiter, “Y-you… why are you following me…”
The waiter stared straight ahead, looking like he didn’t want to speak to Gu Cha. After watching him for a few seconds, Gu Cha decided he would ignore the waiter just as the waiter ignored him.
Gu Cha picked up a small plate. On it was a donut. He happily took one, bit into it, and immediately tasted chocolate.
So good! Gu Cha’s heart practically screamed with delight.
However, the donut was rather big. Gu Cha could only cover his overly full mouth and chew in big bites… It was strange. It hadn’t looked that big, so how did it suddenly feel so huge in his mouth… Gu Cha, being shy, felt a little embarrassed.
There were many drinks on the table. Feeling thirsty, Gu Cha quickly picked up a yellowish “drink” and gulped it down.
The “drink” slid down his throat. With the first swallow, a strange taste surged into his brain, and the irritation in his throat made him cough quietly.
“Clang!”
A sound rang by his ear. Gu Cha, who hadn’t fully recovered yet, reacted unusually fast this time. He realized what had happened and, despite his discomfort, looked at the table.
Sure enough, the remaining uneaten donuts and plates had disappeared. Looking up, he saw something familiar on the waiter’s tray.
“Y-you… cough cough… what are you doing…”
The waiter looked at Gu Cha coldly and placed Gu Cha’s fork and the cup he had just finished drinking onto the tray.
The waiter’s tray was full. He turned and said, “My young master said that things touched by your kind of inferior impostor are dirty. Throw them all away.”
With that, the waiter carried the tray toward the exit.
Gu Cha was truly angry watching the waiter’s actions.
Who was this “young master” anyway?! How could he control what Cha Cha eats! He didn’t even understand the value of food! Did he know how desperate food feels when one is hungry?!
That “young master” had to be a big fool!
Gu Cha jumped down from the stool and ran after the waiter.
He blocked the waiter. “Don’t throw… you’re not allowed to throw!”
Anyone capable of working as a waiter at such a high-class banquet was naturally tall. Gu Cha was a head shorter. Coupled with his naturally soft, high-pitched voice, even when angry he lacked any real authority. The waiter felt no fear at all toward this Fake Young Master.
He even pushed Gu Cha aside.
Gu Cha, after being pushed, grabbed the waiter’s wrist.
This time he didn’t fuss and asked, “Who is your young master?”
The waiter sneered contemptuously. “Why do you care?”
【Cha Cha! Don’t let someone like him get away! Such arrogance, insult him! Show your young master’s dignity and scold him hard!】
Tong Tong arrived just in time. Seeing the scene, she knew her child was being bullied again.
【The male lead is still here. He will definitely back you up! Scold him!】
Gu Cha thought that made sense. He awkwardly assumed an authoritative stance. “I-I’m the young master of the Gu Family. If you dare do this, I’ll have Lu Chenyu fire you!”
The waiter gave a disdainful look, about to reply, when someone tapped his shoulder. A familiar voice spoke in his ear: “Put it down. Throw it away.”
The waiter said respectfully, “Yes, young master.”
Wu Ze held a wine glass and looked down at Gu Cha. “What a bold face. And you dare call yourself a young master of the Gu Family?”
“Gu Cha, my banquet does not welcome someone who doesn’t know their proper place.”
Seeing Wu Ze’s face, Gu Cha recalled a memory: this was the person who had bullied him at the pool last time.
Wu Ze continued speaking: “I heard your parents are rather useless. If the Gu Family hadn’t taken pity on you, do you think you’d ever get to attend such a high-class banquet…”
His words suddenly stopped.
Wu Ze froze, shocked at the sudden cold sensation on his face and the smell of wine at his nose.
He had been splashed with wine by Gu Cha?
This seemingly fragile person, who looked like he could be scared to death by the slightest thing, actually had the courage to splash wine?
Seeing the host get splashed, many people around naturally started talking about Gu Cha.
【Cha Cha! Well done!】
Tong Tong cheered.
Gu Cha’s face flushed, not knowing if it was from heat or embarrassment from all the onlookers. Regardless, he felt a strange light-headedness and newfound courage.
“Last time you bullied me… and now again, I-I’m going to settle this with you!” Gu Cha shouted. “Serves you right, you arrogant big fool!”
After finishing his scolding, Gu Cha felt a bit intimidated.
Wu Ze touched his face, quickly grabbed the fleeing Gu Cha.
“You’re rebelling? You dare splash me… this is my territory!”
Gu Cha struggled but couldn’t break free.
Meanwhile, Lu Chenyu noticed the commotion. He set down his wine glass, his face serious, and walked toward the source of the disturbance.
Wen Xuqian raised an eyebrow, noticing Lu Chenyu’s retreating figure. He had been chatting with some important executives, and yet Lu Chenyu just left?
“Chen Yu! Where are you going?!” Gu Songqing shouted from behind, but Lu Chenyu ignored him.
Wu Ze was bullying Gu Cha again. Truly unruly.
Wen Xuqian looked at the surrounding executives, slowly put down his wine glass, and smiled at them: “Sorry, I must excuse myself first.” Compared with Lu Chenyu, Wen Xuqian was far more polite.
The little young master was being bullied again, and naturally, he had to see what was happening.
But he wasn’t as impulsive as Lu Chenyu, daring to directly offend these “old foxes.”
Wu Ze’s raised hand was grabbed, and the person he was holding was snatched away. Lu Chenyu’s dark face appeared in front of him.
Lu Chenyu asked, “Wu Shao Ye, what are you doing?”
Wu Ze didn’t dare be so reckless in front of Lu Chenyu. He could only drop his hand in anger. “Your young master provoked me. Young Master Lu couldn’t control him… so I had to teach him a lesson myself.”
Lu Chenyu looked at Wu Ze’s flustered state and then at Gu Cha, whose only “injury” was a reddened face. He realized the little young master hadn’t suffered real harm.
Although he didn’t understand why Gu Cha had splashed wine, Gu Cha wouldn’t provoke others on his own… There was no way the little young master had that kind of courage.
He gently touched Gu Cha’s soft hair, showing no intention of further conflict with Wu Ze, and said coldly: “No need to say more. The banquet should have surveillance cameras, right? Why not just check the footage directly?”
Wen Xuqian, arriving slightly late, happened to hear this.
