After a pause, Brucille continued, “The dean told me she had a daughter. It’s you, right?”
Crying, Rainie said, “I don’t have a heartless brother like you. You’re simply cold-blooded!”
“Rainie, listen to me. It’s not what you think. I swear I’ve never stopped looking for her, but to no avail…”
The dishes were served one after another. Brucille said, “Please sit down and listen to me. Let’s eat first, okay?”
Upon seeing the dishes, Rainie was even more furious. “You must be rich since you can afford these expensive foods, yet you let your mother go crazy in the old folks home for so many years. You are really heartless.”
After that, Rainie left the room, slamming the door behind her.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Brucille tried them one by one.
A small bowl of shark fin soup with fish maw was placed in front of him. “Sir, please give this soup a try. You should drink it before it gets cold,” the waitress said.
She kept serving food to Brucille, thinking that a VIP like him should be given one-on-one service.
However, Brucille’s face darkened after taking a sip of the soup. After he tasted the abalone, he looked even more displeased.
Lastly, he picked up a small piece of pan-seared foie gras with his chopsticks and placed it on the tip of his tongue.
Suddenly, he slammed his palm on the table, knocking over all the plates.
“Ask your general manager to see me immediately! I’ll give you three minutes. Go now!”
Soon, a plump woman in her early thirties appeared in front of Brucille. She asked with a smile, “Sir, may I know what upset you?”
“How much do all these dishes cost?” Brucille questioned.
“Including the bottle of red wine in your hand, it costs 129, 800 yuan in total.”
“Very good. Tell me, are you sure this is foie gras? And is the shark fin even authentic? Is this the cooking standard of your head chef? All these seafood taste worse than those sold at roadside stalls. I want to see the head chef.”
The general manager could tell that Brucille was not an ordinary man. After all, an ordinary person could rarely afford this vast array of luxurious food, let alone pointing out their problem.
He alone had spent nearly 130, 000 yuan in total that night.
The general manager had never come across a scene like this.
Patrick arrived at the private room, sweating profusely. He had been extra cautious while preparing the order. He knew that if anything went wrong when dealing with a person with high status, his reputation would be ruined.
He asked in a soft voice, ” Sir, may I know which dish you’re not satisfied with?”
“You’ve asked the wrong question. You should’ve asked me which dish I’m satisfied with,” Brucille corrected him coldly.
Patrick bowed slightly to him and asked again, “Sir, may I know which dish you’re satisfied with?”
“How could I be satisfied? Are you sure this is authentic foie gras? And not from a random goose you raised yourself at home?”
“And you f*cking call these shark fins? More like crucian carp fins!”
“Are you trying to scam me? Do you think that I’m dumb?”
Patrick’s forehead was covered with sweat. He was full aware of the ingredients being used in the restaurant. They couldn’t afford to buy authentic foie gras, and their guests couldn’t afford it either.
As for the large fish fins, it was neither crucian carp fins or shark fins.
In an almost inaudible voice, Patrick said, “I’m so sorry, Sir. I’ll make you another one.”
“No need for that, I have lost my appetite. These trash ruined my mood. I won’t pay a single penny for this table of dishes.”
Patrick and the general manager were in distress. The cost of all the dishes would be tens of thousands of bucks.
It would cause Patrick to lose half a year of his salary.
He said dryly, “Sir, I’ll lose my job if you don’t pay the bill.”
“Does your job have to do with me? Alright, I’ll give you a chance. Finish the foie gras and this bottle of wine, and I’ll pay the bill. What do you think?”
“Sure!” Patrick agreed without hesitation.
Brucille lifted the plate of foie gras. Just as Patrick extended his arm to take it, Brucille loosened his grip on the plate, dropping it on the floor.
“Oops! Sorry, it fell on the floor.”
Patrick was livid. Obviously, Brucille was trying to make things difficult for him.
Regardless, he bent down and picked up the foie gras. Wearing a smile on his face, he ate it all. Brucille took a mouthful of red wine from the bottle and rinsed his mouth with it before spitting it back into the bottle.
After that, he filled the wine glass to the brim and handed it to Patrick.
Clenching his fists, Patrick was on the verge of losing his cool. At this time, the general manager, who was standing next to him, cast him a murderous look.
In the end, Patrick took the glass of wine from Brucille and gulped it down.
“Sir, are you satisfied now?”
“Yeah, I’m very satisfied. Do you know why I’m doing this to you? Rainie is my sister. You’d better keep that in mind. If you ever lay a finger on her again, I will remove your head and put it in your a*s. Remember, I’ll only say it once. Get out…”
Patrick immediately ran all the way to the bathroom and threw up…
Brucille pulled out his credit card and put it on the table. He said to the general manager, “Rainie is only working here because she had some conflict with the family. I hope that you’ll take good care of her, or I will make this place shut down.”
The general manager did not doubt his words at all. After all, an ordinary rich person could not afford to spend 120, 000 yuan on food alone.
At this time, Brucille’s anger had already dissipated. The feeling of going all out to pick on someone made him feel better.
Since Rainie refused to reconcile with him, Brucille decided to tail her.
It was almost ten o’clock at night when Rainie got off work. She left the hotel on a shabby bicycle. Around ten minutes later, she rode into a technical school.
She seemed to be a student.
A student of a technical college, washing dishes in a hotel at night. Her living conditions were probably bad as well, and her clothes looked old and ragged.
For two days in a row, Brucille had been observing Rainie from afar. After asking around, he learned that she was taking a 5-year college degree. There was still more than a year to go before her graduation.
Every day, she would head for the hotel to work after school. After work, she would return to the school. Apart from that, Brucille had never seen her leave the school.
On the third day, a middle-aged man blocked Rainie’s way when she was leaving the hotel after work. Brucille quickly pulled over at the side of the road, ready to go to her rescue.
To his surprise, he heard Rainie shouting, “Dad, I don’t have money! I haven’t gotten my pay yet.”
Upon hearing how Rainie addressed the man, he hid behind the bushes.
