Everyone witnessing the scene immediately understood that the man was the Battalion Commander Zhou, as people had been talking about.
Seeing the interaction between the two, what else could they be but a couple?
Everyone looked at Bai Ruolin with strange eyes. “Don’t you live in the same compound? You just said you were friends and fellow villagers, how come you don’t even know if they’re a couple? You’re saying that Boss Su is spreading rumors?”
“That’s right, many people who’ve eaten here have seen them together. Boss Su has never said anything bad about them.”
Seeing everyone staring at her, scrutinizing her every move, Bai Ruolin knew she wouldn’t gain anything.
She glumly retreated to a corner and sat down.
Meanwhile, she secretly watched the activity in the room, plotting her next move.
On the other side, Su Yi followed Zhou Jinchuan to the backyard. She drank some water and rested for a while.
She was about to return to the front to continue working.
Zhou Jinchuan felt sorry for her, “I think we should hire two more people tomorrow.”
Su Yi shook her head with a smile, “Today is the last day of the discount, and many people who were watching are probably going to come try it out on the last day. I think it won’t be as busy tomorrow.”
Zhou Jinchuan nodded helplessly, “Alright, if it’s still this busy later, we definitely need to hire more people.”
“I know, are you hungry now?”
“No, I just came over to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
“Nothing for now, I’m going to the kitchen first. Tell me when you get hungry.”
“Okay. Did Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin cause any trouble just now?”
“No, besides, you’re here now, they wouldn’t dare.”
With that, Su Yi went to help in the kitchen.
Although there were many people queuing outside, the kitchen was serving dishes quickly, and Xu Xiaoqin and Sister Mei were flipping tables efficiently.
So, people were gradually getting their seats.
Just as Su Yi was busy, a commotion broke out in the main hall outside.
Su Yi hurriedly put down what she was holding and went to see what was happening.
Xu Xiaoqin quickly explained to her, “These two tables became available at the same time.Comrade Bai insisted on choosing a seat first, but the people in front of her weren’t willing to give it to her. I think she’s just looking for trouble.”
Su Yi frowned and looked at Bai Ruolin with displeasure, “Comrade Bai, if you don’t follow our store’s rules, you can leave anytime.”
Just as she finished speaking, Bai Ruolin, who had been arguing with others, suddenly turned her attention to Su Yi.
“This is a black shop bullying people! We’ve been in line for so long, and now you’re saying we can’t eat?”
As she spoke, she swayed her body and lunged towards Su Yi.
The scene was already chaotic. Seeing her suddenly charge at her, Su Yi was startled.
Just when she thought she couldn’t avoid it, Zhou Jinchuan suddenly appeared behind her, holding her arm and pulling her aside.
Bai Ruolin missed her target and her high heels became unsteady. She fell directly to the ground.
A pig-like scream echoed through the main hall, followed by a red liquid flowing from under her body.
Bai Ruolin was wearing light-colored pants today, making the red color incredibly eye-catching and obvious.
Everyone was startled, “What happened? She just fell herself, no one pushed her. How come there’s so much blood?”
Bai Ruolin yelled at Su Yi, “My baby is gone! It’s all your fault!”
Then, she began to cry hysterically, “My baby is gone, it’s all her fault! Yunfeng, my stomach hurts so much.”
Qin Yunfeng was also shocked.
Hearing Bai Ruolin calling her, he quickly bent down and picked her up, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital now.”
Bai Ruolin shook her head, crying, “I don’t want to go to the hospital, I’m scared. I want to go home.”
Qin Yunfeng hesitated, “We should still go to the hospital to check.”
Bai Ruolin kept crying, “I don’t want to go to the hospital, the baby is already gone. I knew we shouldn’t have come to this unlucky restaurant. I just want to go home now.”
Although everyone had just seen with their own eyes that Bai Ruolin fell by herself.
But, after all, this happened at the restaurant.
And, it was true that she lost her baby, so it was inappropriate to pile on at this time.
They could only persuade, “Boss Su , Battalion Commander Zhou has a car, right? Quickly take her to the hospital.”
Su Yi had felt something was off about Bai Ruolin since she appeared at the door.
She had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen.
But she never imagined that Bai Ruolin was actually pregnant!
However, something just felt off.
A pregnant woman wearing high heels and getting into a conflict with others in such a crowded place?
And when Qin Yunfeng said he was taking her to the hospital, she refused to go?
Could it be a fake pregnancy?
Thinking this, Su Yi squatted down and looked at her, “You’ve lost so much blood, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?”
Bai Ruolin dodged her gaze nervously and turned her head, questioning, “Will going to the hospital save my baby? Su Yi, are you happy now?”
Su Yi scoffed, “Why would I be happy that you lost your baby? Did I ask you to come here? It’s ridiculous enough for a pregnant woman to wear high heels to eat Sichuan food. You were also getting into conflicts with others, and everyone saw it. I didn’t touch you. You were the one who rushed over, lost your balance, and fell.”
Everyone had been scared just now and hadn’t had time to think much.
Now, after hearing Su Yi’s words, they calmed down and thought about it. They realized it was indeed suspicious.
“Boss Su is right, you’re so strange. If you were really pregnant, why would you come here looking for trouble?”
Bai Ruolin felt a pang of anxiety in her heart and quickly pulled Qin Yunfeng, “Yunfeng, carry me back, I want to go home.”
Qin Yunfeng also noticed something was amiss, but he didn’t want to question her directly.
He turned to Zhou Jinchuan, “Battalion Commander Zhou, could you please lend me your car? I’ll take her to the clinic.”
Bai Ruolin knew she couldn’t avoid it anymore, so she changed her mind and agreed, “Okay, I’ll go to the hospital with you, but I don’t trust the health center here. I want to go to the county hospital.”
Qin Yunfeng pursed his lips, “The county is too far.”
“No, I have to go to the county hospital, otherwise I won’t go.”
Hearing Bai Ruolin’s insistence, everyone started to speculate.
This woman had lost so much blood, yet she was still conscious and talking so much?
And even in this state, why did she insist on going to the county hospital instead of the closer one?
Qin Yunfeng couldn’t understand either, but he still agreed, “Okay, let’s go, I’ll take you to the county hospital.”
He was about to bend down to pick Bai Ruolin up.
But before he could lift her.
Suddenly, someone from the crowd shouted, “Wait—”
Everyone was stunned, wondering what was going on.
The man was big and strong, with a fat head and big ears. He was the owner of the butcher shop in town.
He walked up to Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin, squatted down and sniffed, “I said, why does this blood smell so familiar?”
“This little woman also looks familiar. Aren’t you the one who came to my butcher stall this morning to buy pig blood?”
