Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Humiliating Oneself (Second Update)
The man and woman trembled all over and their faces betrayed a look of panic.
As die-hard admirers of Country Y’s culture, they naturally realized what an Earl meant.
Although it was no longer the Middle Ages, having the title of an Earl could still attest to one’s social status.
“I… we…” The man stood up, stuttering as he tried to explain something.
The waiter, sweating profusely, walked over, followed by the lobby manager.
“Sir, here are the chopsticks you requested!” The waiter placed five pairs of brand-new chopsticks on the table.
The lobby manager approached with a respectful smile, “Lord Earl, welcome, you and your distinguished friends, to our restaurant. Is there anything that doesn’t meet your satisfaction?”
The lobby manager himself felt some trepidation.
He could tell that the brooch Quintina wore was at least a few hundred years old, an antique, indicating she wasn’t a newly created Earl but came from an ancient family.
And the Chinese family’s presence radiated an utmost nobility, revealing an even more extraordinary status.
Such figures deserved the highest courtesy and respect when they dined in his establishment.
Quintina nodded, “The taste is not bad, and the environment is passable, but the atmosphere has been ruined by some people.”
With that, Quintina pointed to the pale-faced couple, “Casual mocking of others, such ungentlemanly behavior, makes me feel insulted to dine with them!”
This stern rebuke made many in the restaurant nod in agreement.
The lobby manager nodded more respectfully, “I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused, Lord Earl. I will take care of this matter!”
With that, he walked over to the couple’s table, “Both of you are no longer welcome here, please leave now!”
“Why? This is discrimination!” the woman screamed loudly, no longer maintaining her previously affected “noble” demeanor.
Her shout drew many sideward glances from around the restaurant.
Xue An also glanced over slightly.
“Discrimination? No!” The manager shook his head, respectfully bowing to the distant Xue An and his companions before turning back to the couple.
“It’s clear that you’re also from China! That esteemed gentleman is also Chinese, why don’t we ask him to leave? The reason is that your groundless mockery makes you seem very narrow-minded and prejudiced. We don’t welcome people who mock their own countrymen without cause. Please leave!”
The woman was at a loss for words, wanting to say more.
The man was already nodding and bowing, “Alright, Mr. Manager, we’re leaving now!”
Their sycophant and fearful behavior made many shake their heads in secret.
If a person cannot respect their own self first, then they shouldn’t expect to be respected by others.
The couple walked away, dejected.
After they left, the manager came over, his face full of apologies, “I am very sorry for the trouble you’ve experienced. We will pay more attention to the quality of our dining guests in the future! If there are any other issues, feel free to come to me anytime! I wish you a pleasant meal!”
After speaking, the manager discreetly withdrew.
Once he had left, Quintina finally breathed a sigh of relief, the noble air she had upheld failing at once, and then she complained in a low voice.
“That was exhausting!”
Xue An smiled, “You seem not to enjoy playing the noble?”
Quintina scoffed, “Only a fool would want to be a noble, and do you really think those nobles with a thousand years of heritage are above worldly concerns? In terms of ancient lineage, who can surpass the Blood Clan? Yet still, aren’t they just as seemingly refined on the surface but greedy and violent in the shadows? They’re all just putting on a show to deceive others.”
Xue An agreed completely, taking a sip of wine, “You’re absolutely right!”
Meanwhile, An Yan was intently dealing with the steak on her plate using her chopsticks. After finishing, she looked somewhat dissatisfied.
“I hate eating Western food too. Such a large plate for such a tiny piece of steak, I’ve never been full from a Western meal my whole life—I always have to go home and cook some noodles!”
