Chapter 38: Special Mix
Xiao Ran said.
“Do you do anything as long as you’re paid?”
Bai Lengci poured the mixed drink into a martini glass and pushed it toward the guest.
She acted as though she had not heard the question at all, and directly turned to handle the next order.
Ignored!
Xiao Ran was stunned by Bai Lengci’s shalessness.
She took a deep breath.
“You!!!!!! Fine!”
Xiao Ran sneered and pulled out five banknotes, slapping them down into the small dish with a sharp smack, her movents tinged with petulance.
Bai Lengci said.
“No.”
This interaction between the two had already drawn the secret attention of many guests nearby.
Two won of completely different styles but both stunningly beautiful clashed at the bar counter—one fiery and extravagant, the other cold as ice and sparing with her words.
The scene was simply… too perfect to drink to!
The male guests watched with complicated feelings, while the female guests felt both vindicated and slightly unsettled.
A bit of a tip was nothing.
Even several thousand yuan in this setting was not earth-shattering.
But the key was—the beauty level of these two was at the absolute peak!
Moreover, one of them was clearly answering only because of money, yet with that face, that temperant, she just couldn’t be hated!
Looking like that, whatever she did seed to have so hidden hardship, like an act of art itself.
How could anyone dislike her?
Xiao Ran felt she had seen right through Bai Lengci.
She was just a greedy, petty high schooler who hadn’t even fully grown up yet!
Boring!
She decided to finish this drink and then drag Yan Junzhu away.
And Xiao Ran no longer tried speaking to Bai Lengci.
Just then, the little girl who had been sitting beside Yan Junzhu got up and went to the bathroom, while the middle-aged uncle who had co with her quickly waved at Bai Lengci.
First, he furtively glanced at Bai Lengci’s overly striking face, then cleared his throat and spoke in a deliberately casual tone.
“Um… little miss, could you recomnd a drink? Sothing small, not tasting much of alcohol, but… hmm, it should have so kick, you know what I an.”
He winked, his aning obvious.
Bai Lengci looked up at the man in the wool sweater, then lowered her head again and continued mixing drinks as she said.
“There is. It’s more expensive, but it’s not on the nu.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged uncle wasn’t put off by the price—in fact, he beca more interested.
He chuckled, pulled two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, and placed them in the tip dish in front of Bai Lengci.
“Money’s not a problem! Good things are worth the price! Give one!”
“All right, usually I don’t like to make this drink… but since you need it… I’ll make an exception. 188 a glass.”
“188? No problem!”
The uncle waved his hand generously.
Listening from the side, Xiao Ran naturally understood what this seemingly refined man was actually thinking.
She was so angry she nearly crushed her glass!
Perfect!
As expected, nothing good!
She imdiately marked down Bai Lengci’s shalessness a few more notches in her ntal notebook.
And resolved that once she got back, she would tell her aunt—this girl must be fired!
No matter how pretty she was, it was useless!
That was right.
The reason Xiao Ran had brought Yan Junzhu here was precisely because this bar belonged to her aunt, Bai Zhu.
After a while, the little girl returned to sit beside the uncle.
The two spoke in low voices, the man acting all gentle and considerate.
Soon, his tone beca coaxing.
“…We’re out to have fun, relax a bit, try a cocktail. Hardly any alcohol, almost like juice, it’s interesting.”
The little girl bit her lip, her eyes showing both curiosity and hesitation.
Her gaze lingered on the drink nu, clearly not knowing what to choose.
Seeing this, the uncle’s eyes glead with satisfaction, and he imdiately raised his chin toward Bai Lengci behind the bar.
“How about letting this beauty recomnd one for you?”
Hearing this, the little girl stopped hesitating over the nu and nodded.
“Aria, right? Co, recomnd sothing for this little beauty! It should taste good, like a soft drink, easy to drink! Recomnd the best—money’s no problem!”
The uncle spoke boldly while throwing Bai Lengci a aningful glance.
Bai Lengci took the nu and said expressionlessly.
“There’s a special fruit soda mix, with very low alcohol content. It’s mainly fresh juice and soda water, refreshing and sweet, very suitable for ladies who don’t often drink.”
The man responded.
“Good! Bring one of those.”
Bai Lengci began preparing the drink.
She first squeezed the juice, added syrup and soda water, and finally poured in a small amount of rum.
From the side, Xiao Ran coldly watched as this nearly fruit soda was nad a “special mix” and sold for 188.
Her contempt reached its peak.
Sothing costing less than ten yuan, even in an ordinary bar thirty or forty would already be considered black-hearted, and she dared to sell it for 188!
Bai Lengci earned at least ten tis on that one drink.
And surely one glass wouldn’t be enough—there would be more.
Once the little girl felt dizzy, it would be too late!
And Bai Lengci could perfectly avoid responsibility.
Who could say what soone’s tolerance was?
And although the alcohol content was ridiculously low, drinking too much would still get you drunk.
“Bartenders really aren’t good people!”
Xiao Ran gnashed her teeth and muttered to Yan Junzhu, inwardly maxing out Bai Lengci’s shalessness level.
Yan Junzhu frowned slightly.
She recalled Bai Lengci’s earlier words about reading people’s hearts and softly said.
“Ranran, I think… things might not be so simple.”
Xiao Ran scoffed.
“Faces are deceiving! The prettier they are, the worse they trick people!”
After several glasses of “special fruit mix,” the little girl’s cheeks indeed turned rosy, and her eyes began to glaze over.
“This drink tastes so good, just like juice~”
The middle-aged uncle, seeing this, smiled triumphantly and reached out to support the girl.
“Aiya, had too much, huh? Co, co, don’t drink anymore. Uncle will take you back to rest…”
At that mont!
“Wait!”
Xiao Ran could no longer hold back.
She leapt down from her barstool, stepped quickly to block between the uncle and the little girl, and grabbed the girl’s arm.
Her beautiful face was flushed with anger, her eyes sharp as she glared at the man.
“Take her back? Back where? Who are you, uncle? Are you even close to her?”
Xiao Ran’s words fired like bullets, her voice clear and crisp, instantly drawing all eyes in the bar.
The uncle was caught off guard by the sudden interruption.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was also an outstanding beauty, his montum faltered, but he quickly forced composure.
“Who—who are you? I… I’m her friend! She drank too much, what’s wrong with taking her back?”
“Friend?”
Xiao Ran sneered and said to the girl.
“You didn’t see it, but I did! This shaless guy had that unscrupulous bartender make you a drink with really high alcohol content. Just to get you drunk and do sothing bad!!”
Her voice grew louder and louder.
More onlookers gathered, whispering and pointing.
The uncle’s face instantly turned the color of pig liver, humiliated and furious.
“You—you’re talking nonsense!”
