Smile more often

Yan Mei turned to the manager, "If you want this coffee shop to continue to run, you will prevent her from running," she said coldly as she approached the waiter.

The manager turned to look at Lei Zhao, who owned the place. Lei Zhao nodded when the manager looked at him. The manager quickly held the waiter about to run, and kicked her, which made her kneel.

Yan Mei glanced at the people in the shop, and coldly said, "If I were you, I would be a darling and not record anything on my phone."

The last thing she wanted to deal with was the media. The customers who had taken their phone out quickly put them away. They knew that this woman wasn't a force to reckon with.

The waiter shivered in fear. If she knew this woman was this terrible, she wouldn't have poured the coffee on her, even if she had the courage.

"Hmm. So, where should I start?" Yan Mei whispered to herself as she stared at the waiter. She then turned to look at Lei Zhao. She wanted to see if he would be disgusted with her like everyone else. Feeling her eyes on him, he smiled softly and said, "It doesn't matter where you start, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Yan Mei's heart skipped a beat. The surrounding people looked at them as if they were a pair of devils. Who in their right mind would encourage something like this? Shouldn't he ask her to stop? Yan Mei sorted out her emotions and turned back to look at the waiter with a smirk on her face.

Yan Mei drizzled a little of coffee on the waiter's hand.

"Arghh…" the waiter screamed in pain.

"Oops, sorry, miss. It was an accident. I didn't mean it. I hope you're not angry," Yan Mei said softly as she bowed her head like a kid who had just done something terrible. Lei Zhao had the urge to ruffle her hair right now. He thought she looked so cute.

Lei Zhao didn't realize that he was the only weird person who found Yan Mei cute. In the eyes of other people, Yan Mei was a monster with no feelings. How could she intentionally pour hot coffee on someone and still act like it was an accident?

"You bitch! I won't let you go," the waiter said as she glared at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei let out a long breath. She wanted to scare this loser, but people like her will never learn. She squatted down and looked at the waiter's face.

"You know… I was thinking about letting you go, but you threatened me and I Yan Mei doesn't do so well with threats." After saying this, Yan Mei got up and displayed an evil grin on her face.

The waiter had an awful feeling when she saw the evil grin on Yan Mei's face.

"You… What… do you want to… to do?" The waiter said incoherently, because of fear.

Yan Mei then threw the coffee at the waiter and placed the cup on the table.

"Arrggghhh… you're a devil! I won't let you go!" the waiter wailed in pain as she covered her hand and glared at Yan Mei. Her eyes were full of hate.

Yan Mei laughed at what the waiter just said. "You're not the first person to call me a devil, and you will not be the last person to say it either."

The people around the room felt cold as they stared at the beautiful woman who was laughing. The light rays illuminated from the window and fell on her, making her look more charming.

"You know… Since I'm in a good mood today, I will let you go. But if you cross me again, and I'm in a nasty mood…" Yan Mei paused as she glanced around to warn everyone else around her not to cross her.

After the altercation, she left money on the table, turned to the manager and said, "This is for any damages and also her hospital bill."

Without waiting for his response, she gracefully left the coffee shop, completely ignoring the weird stares people were giving her. She had already gotten used to it. The people in the café finally let out a sigh of relief when she left.

Lei Zhao coldly glanced at the waiter and turned to the manager."Put her on a blacklist. With her attitude, I wonder how she got the job."

The manager swallowed when he heard Lei Zhao. He had slept with the waiter before giving her the job. This stupid woman just had to mess things up for herself.

Without waiting for the manager to speak, Lei Zhao quickly ran out of the coffee shop and chased after Yan Mei.

* * * * *

Yan Mei sat in her car and sighed. She felt guilty about what happened. Was she too extreme? But she knew that showing mercy to an enemy is cruel to herself. She was turning into this devil, and she hated it. She was missing the times she used to be pure and innocent. Her parents spoiled her so much, so she was willful. She remembered that her dad always said that whatever his little princess wanted, he would give it to her. Because of that, she turned into this carefree little girl.

Those days were the happiest moments of her life. Thinking about her parents, she suddenly became pale. She had killed them. If it weren't for her, they might still be alive. Maybe she was the devil causing chaos to her loved ones.

The sound of someone knocking on her window brought her out of her daze. Turning her head towards the window, her eyes met Lei Zhao's worried eyes.

"Are you okay?" Lei Zhao asked as he looked at her. Even though she bowed her head to hide the emotions in her eyes, he still saw it. Her eyes were filled with pain, as if she was blaming herself for something.

"You shouldn't let irrelevant people affect your mood. At times, a little violence is needed to carry a message across to someone stupid. And besides, you looked really cool," Lei Zhao said as he flashed her a smile.

Yan Mei smiled and said, "Are you trying to make me feel better?"

Lei Zhao scratched his head, embarrassingly, "Well, did it work?"

Yan Mei shook her head. "No. It was lame." She tried to suppress her giggles, but she threw back her head and let out a rambunctious laugh when she saw how embarrassed he felt.

Lei Zhao was shocked when he saw a genuine laugh pouring out of her, splitting her mask into two. It showed him a glimpse of who she was behind her haughty beauty.

For an instant, the emotional pain in her eyes disappeared, and at that moment, she looked happy. She seemed like someone who wouldn't force a laugh for things that don't deserve it.

Except for that evil grin. When she was planning on doing something wicked, he could see pain lacing in her cynical eyes as if she remembered something.

"You look beautiful when you laugh. You should do that more often," Lei Zhao said as he smiled.
