Hearing that, Winnie was confused.
“Why, you like hot pot, I also like hot pot, isn’t that just right?”
“I feel that Stefan is not right looking at you.”
Brian said sourly, but Winnie could not help but laugh.
“Am I that good, men don't look me right? I had no idea I am so popular.”
“If a man pursues me, or proposes to me, I'll marry him.”
Winnie was on a whim. She did not control her mouth and made a joke.
Who would chase her? Who would marry her? With Brian around, all men could not attract her, she
would not take fancy on anyone.
“Are you suggesting that I should propose to you?”
Brian joked too, but if Winnie agreed, he would turn the joke into reality.
“No, no, I was joking, but I didn't suggest anything.”
Winnie explained, afraid that Brian had a burden because of her words.
Winnie never asked Brian about their relationship. One reason was that she dared not hope, and the
other was to give him enough time to remember and determine who he really loved.
As Winnie's voice just fell, the waiter sent the hot soup over, coincidentally it was that waiter fell and
scalded Megan.
“Miss, it's you. I make a formal apology to you.”
The waiter put down the hot soup, then stood up straight and bowed to Winnie. Winnie got up and
caught the waiter who wanted to bow.
“What are doing? There is no need to apologize.”
In Winnie's view, the waiter was also the victim, and he did not need to apologize.
“Miss, if I had been more careful, I would not have scalded your child. I'm so sorry.”
The waiter apologized sincerely.
“I said no need to apologize. What happened that day has nothing to do with you. It is all over, and the
child has long since recovered. Don't mind it.”
Winnie continued.
“I'm glad to see you here. Your boss seems to be a kind man.”
“Yes, my boss is very kind to us...”
Before the waiter's words had finished, the voice of Stefan and a woman spread over not far. And this
female voice was familiar to Winnie and Brian.
Wendy came to the hotpot restaurant today to apologize, although the purpose of the apology was not
that she had realized she had done something wrong, but someone would watch it.
“You are the boss here, aren't you? I am the one who ate here the other day and hurt the little girl.”
Wendy gave self-introduction. Stefan was very surprised.
In the video this woman was arrogant and domineering, which was different the present woman who
was gentle and quiet.
“Hello, I'm the boss here.”
Stefan was calm and polite.
“I come here today to apologize. What happened that day has nothing to do with your hotpot
restaurant. I did not manage my emotions, and made the child injured, but you shared the
responsibility.”
Wendy continued.
“I'll pay for the damage to your store that day and the medical bills for that child.”
With that, Wendy took out a bank card to Stefan from the bag.
“Here is a hundred thousand as my compensation for you and the child.”
Stefan looked at the bank card handed over by Wendy, suddenly he became serious.
This woman was to apologize, but why there was no guilt in her eyes? Instead, he thought he was
throwing money at him.
“The matter has been settled. The medical bills are not much, and it doesn't matter who bears them.
We did have some damage, but not a hundred thousand.”
“Madam, I accept your favor. You'd better take the money back.”
Stephen rejected Wendy's compensation. Maybe he saw the video and saw that she was not a kind
person, so he did not have a good impression on this woman.
“I apologize to you from the bottom of my heart. Although the loss was not so large and the medical
expenses could not be used up to a hundred thousand, but it had a negative impact on your store after
all. Do you think it is not enough? If so, I can compensate you more.”
Wendy insisted, and then stuffed the bank card into the hand of Stefan.
It was impossible for Stefan to take the money, so he stepped back to avoid Wendy's forced kindness.
“I don't mean to think the money is not enough. I know you are kind, but I can’t take the money. I don't
have much lose, and if you really want to make up for it, come here more.”
Stefan still politely refused. He did not need a lip service apology. The money would sting on his
conscience if he took it.
“Well......All right, I'll come more often. You are so nice. Thank you for your understanding.”
Wendy had no choice but to awkwardly took the bank card away.
Money was not a big deal, the important thing was that someone had watched it.
Wendy continued.
“By the way, is the waiter I tripped over still here? I also want to say sorry to him.”
Wendy asked. Stefan remembered that Winnie and Brian were there, so he looked over and saw the
waiter was next to Winnie.
Stefan suddenly felt that Wendy hurt Winnie and her daughter, she should apologize here.
“Yes, the waiter is still here. The mother and father of the injured child are also here. If you really want
to apologize, then go and apologize to them. After all, the child was scalded that day and the mother
was scalded as well.”
Stefan's words made Wendy embarrassed.
She came just to let Brian see her true repentance, trying to make up for this thing. But she was rather
sheepish about apologizing in front of so many people.
“Oh, what a coincidence. I'll go and apologize to them.”
Wendy had no other choice but to head toward the direction of Winnie.
Stefan and Wendy's conversation had been heard by Winnie and Brian, as well as the waiter.
Seeing Wendy coming over, to tell the truth, Winnie was unhappy. Like that day played all over again,
there seemed to be psychological shadow.
She did not feel sincere about Wendy's apology, and she did not know what was Brian thinking.
By this time, Wendy had gone to their side and first apologized to the waiter standing there.
“You must have been scared that day. I'm sorry it was on the spur of the moment. I'm sorry. It won't
happen again. I beg your pardon.”
“Don't apologize, it's all right.”
The waiter was a kind person. With that, he left.
Wendy, however, lowered her head and raised a sarcasm that could not be easily detected.
The attitude apologized to the waiter seemed to be rigid, which proved that she did not put the waiter in
eyes, but Winnie and Brian were there, she had to say sorry.
“It so happens that you are here. I......I came to apologize...I didn't expect to meet you.”
Wendy said hesitantly with a face of embarrassment.
“Am I interrupting you?”
Before Winnie and Brian answered, Wendy continued to find another topic.
Winnie did not look up at Wendy and answer her. She wanted to see if Wendy would apologize to her
in front of so many people.
Wendy owed her an apology, since everything was exposed, Wendy or Klara should apologize to her.
What did it suggest? It suggested that they cared only Brian not her.
No apology, no confession, no correction. The fact that they were together in collusion was a proof that
they were still plotting against her. She did not know whether Brian had this awareness and whether he
still remembered what they had done to her.
“No, we just stopped by to have dinner. Have you eaten? If you haven't, sit down and eat together.”
Brian noticed Wendy's embarrassment. He did not want there were rumors about them. He could only
ask Wendy to sit down and avoid that.
Brian spoke, which made Wendy's embarrassment ease. She obediently sat down next to Brian.
Winnie did not expect that Brian would treat Wendy with this attitude. He was no longer fiery and
furious.
Perhaps it was because of their several conversations that they had a good effect. Brian had long
forgotten that Wendy had hurt her and the children.
Winnie raised her head and did not conceal her feelings. She looked at Brian with dissatisfaction.
“I don't want to eat with the people who hurt my child. I'm going home.”
Winnie said angrily and then got up directly, picked up her bag and then strode to leave.
“Winwin...”
Brian called after Winnie and then followed after her.
Winnie didn't drive her car, so she went to take a taxi in a hurry. However, in her anger, she forgot that
she had a shadow over the taxi. When the taxi approached her, she suddenly screamed and sat down
weakly on the ground.
At this time, Brian ran over just to see Winnie sitting on the ground.
“Winwin.”
Brian came to help Winnie up. Winnie tried to bear it but was still in cold sweat.
“You can go back and have dinner with Wendy. You can forget the children's suffering and don't care
about my suffering. You can have dinner with her. You can forgive her, but I can't.”
With that, she pushed Brian away.
She could not take a taxi, but she could take bus. After pushing Brian, she walked directly toward the
bus station, but was stopped by Brian.
“Winwin, I don't forgive her. Anyway, I'm in the public eye, and there are already a lot of people in this
hotpot restaurant shooting pictures with their mobile phones. If I don't behave generously, the rumor will
spread everywhere.”
“I know you feel uncomfortable in heart, can’t you stand it for me?”
Brian was helpless. He thought Winnie might not be happy, but he did not expect that she would have
such reaction.
“So I'm wrong? Am I the one who has made it difficult for you? Am I the one who does not understand
you enough?”
“Well, if you say I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I shouldn't embarrass you in front of so many people. I should
endure the hatred in my heart and eat together with my enemies. I should wrongd myself to support
you.”
