Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, then immediately rolled her eyes!

May I ask?

She turned around, holding the suit jacket with a speechless expression, and asked Xu Junhuan, "Is this it?"

The group turned around at the same time, and their expressions froze when they saw the brooch pinned to the upper left of the suit jacket.

"Oh dear!" The lean man clapped his hands excitedly and breathed a sigh of relief: "How could it be pinned to your clothes? It must have been someone from the brand who pinned it on yesterday, in case you forgot to wear it after you changed!"

"It's good that it's not lost, it's good that it's not lost." The lean man stepped forward and took the suit from Shen Ci's hand, then urged Xu Junhuan: "Junhuan, hurry up and change your clothes, everyone is waiting downstairs."

The thing that Xu Junhuan had been searching for for a long time was easily found by Shen Ci. Xu Junhuan glanced at Shen Ci with a slightly embarrassed expression, and then subconsciously looked away.

Thinking about their aggressive and condescending attitude just now, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The housekeeping manager breathed a deep sigh of relief. It was good that the item had been found; otherwise, it would have been a real hassle. The other party was a very popular celebrity, and if things had blown up, it would have had a negative impact on the hotel.

"Sir, now that your belongings have been found, we'll be leaving now. If you need anything, please call the housekeeping department," the manager said politely.

Xu Junhuan nodded, his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something but he couldn't open it.

He knew it was his pride that was causing the problem.

"Wait a minute."

He didn't speak, but someone else spoke for him. Shen Ci looked coldly at Xu Junhuan and the lean man beside him, and said expressionlessly, "Apologize!"

Xu Junhuan looked slightly surprised, as if he hadn't expected Shen Ci to ask him to apologize so directly.

The lean man's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "What did you say?"

"I said I apologize. Don't you need to apologize for misunderstanding someone?" Shen Ci questioned, word by word.

The housekeeping manager broke out in a cold sweat and quickly leaned close to Shen Jingjing and whispered, "Jingjing, please advise your daughter. It's better to avoid trouble."

Shen Jingjing knew her daughter was seeking justice for her, but since the manager had spoken, she hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to persuade her, "Never mind, Aci. They are hotel guests, and they are anxious because they lost their things. I can understand."

"So you can just pin your finger on others because you're in a hurry? What a big star attitude!" Shen Ci scoffed, her eyes fixed on Xu Junhuan. "As a hotel employee, it's your duty to provide service to guests, but is 'taking the blame' part of that service?"

"Ah Ci..."

"I'm sorry." Xu Junhuan suddenly spoke, looking sincerely at Shen Jingjing, "I'm sorry, Auntie... I apologize for my irresponsible words and actions, and I hope you can understand."

"No...it's alright, sir, it's nothing..."

Seeing that his attitude was fairly proper and sincere, Shen Ci smiled with a hint of amusement and turned her gaze to the lean man.

The boy was taken aback. Although he was unwilling, Xu Junhuan had already spoken, so why should he care about saving face?

"I'm sorry, big sister, we were wrong."

Shen Jingjing nodded repeatedly, saying it was okay. She had felt a little wronged at first, but after hearing their apologies, she felt much better.

Only then did Shen Ci give up, turn around, open the door, and leave the room.

"Manager, I'll go first..." Shen Jingjing pointed in the direction her daughter had left, hesitating to speak. The manager nodded knowingly, indicating that she could go ahead.

Seeing this, Shen Jingjing quickly chased after her.

"Aci!"

In the corridor, Shen Jingjing caught up with her daughter, took her hand and said, "Don't be angry, Mom is fine."

Shen Ci felt sorry for her mother. That's how the service industry is; you get messed up by all sorts of weird customers. This five-star hotel is considered good because the check-in conditions filter out a large number of low-quality people.

If this were someone working in the low-end service industry, they would eventually get stomach ulcers from all the stress.

"I'm fine, you go to work first, we'll talk when you get home tonight." Shen Ci didn't want her mother to worry, so she tried to reassure her with a lighthearted tone.

Shen Jingjing nodded and saw her daughter off at the elevator, watching her leave.

"Who does she think she is, demanding that we apologize to her?"

Inside the room, the lean man still looked resentful, feeling it was beneath him to apologize to a waiter.

Xu Junhuan, who was changing clothes, glanced at him and said coldly, "We misunderstood them, shouldn't we apologize?"

The lean man approached Xu Junhuan with a helpless expression and straightened his collar and tie, saying in a serious tone, "Junhuan, I've told you many times, you're a top star, there are some things you can't do, and some things you can't say. You need to understand your place! If your fans knew you were humbly apologizing to a waiter, they would be heartbroken for you!"

"I only know that if I do something wrong, I should take responsibility and apologize. No matter who I am, I should do that."

At this moment, he felt enlightened. At first, he did find it difficult to say the apology and struggled with his conscience. But after he said the apology, the feeling of relief told him that doing the right thing would make him feel better.

Otherwise, this matter would have troubled him for a long time.

"Okay, okay, if you think it's right, then it's right. But what happened today was such a blunder. It must have been someone from the brand who pinned the brooch on our clothes last night when we weren't looking. I'm going to give them a good scolding later."

Xu Junhuan didn't speak again, but a face kept haunting his mind.

He became famous at a young age and was already a popular star in the entertainment industry. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.

It was as if, in her eyes, she was neither a special person nor a big star.

But he was just a "person," an ordinary "person" no different from anyone else.

In the evening, Shen Jingjing made her daughter the "Bak Kut Teh" she wanted to eat, and also stir-fried several of her favorite dishes.

The food was served just after nine o'clock. Shen Jingjing called to Shen Ci, "Aci, you eat first. Xingxing usually finishes evening self-study at nine o'clock and will be back in a little while."

Shen Ci glanced at the time on the wall and said, "No rush, let's wait for him to come together. Mom, just listen in a bit, I'll talk to him."

“Okay, Mom won’t interrupt.” Shen Jingjing nodded with a smile.

Time passed slowly, and by ten o'clock Shen Xing still hadn't returned. Shen Ci was furious.

Seeing her mother's worried expression, Shen Ci picked up her chopsticks and said, "Mom, let's eat first, let's not wait for him."

"Maybe it's because evening self-study was postponed. You've had this happen to you before," Shen Jingjing tried to comfort herself.

Shen Ci nodded, but she knew in her heart that her younger brother was probably playing video games again.

I had already told him in advance to come home on time after school today, and he still dared to go play games. He's really bold!
