“It really is you! How fateful!” The man spoke as the two walked closer.
XunMi’s face stiffened for a moment as her upper lip twitched. She felt a bit gloomy. She really wanted to eat a good meal. Yet, she had just seen someone that made her lose her appetite.
The approaching couple was none other than the male lead Le ChenXi and female lead An ZiYi. They had probably been here waiting to see her embarrassment.
However, she could only disappoint them. ┑(￣Д￣)┍
Guan Xiao had previously had a decent impression of Le ChenXi. The young man’s carved stones were filled with talent. He would have made a good addition to their team.
But now, with his Boss’ vengeful temper, Guan Xiao could only predict that he wanted to finish Le ChenXi off.
“Young Master Le, what a coincidence.” He politely greeted while preparing to move around him. He didn’t want to suffer under his Boss’ laser gaze. It was very frightening, okay?
Mo WenHan was in a bad mood. He remembered it was these two that had schemed against XunMi. If it wasn’t him yesterday night, he didn’t dare imagine what the consequences of their plot would be.
“Mr. Guan. Since we’ve encountered, let’s eat together. My father has always wanted to speak with you.” Le ChenXi was still naive, and didn’t understand the brutal norms of fighting and scheming that existed in the business trade. After all, his only passion was jade carving.
“Apologies, Young Master Le. I am here with my boss and madam boss. Unfortunately, it won’t be convenient.” Guan Xiao layered rejection was also an embarrassing jab at Le family. The person that his family looked down upon has now risen to an even higher position than he could ever climb to. Sneakily eyeing his boss, Guan Xiao believed that his boss would definitely give him a raise for his comment. It was obvious from Boss’ nod of approval!
Guan Xiao was just excited he finally found the right way to help himself get promoted and gain a salary raise. As long as he does well daily, he will be able to afford a villa downtown soon.
To buy a villa in the downtown area, you needed to be ready to part with at least several hundred million (RMB). Moreover, you also needed to meet qualifications of connections and status. Besides this, there was another question: who would even help build him a villa in the middle of downtown?_(:зゝ∠)_
Le ChenXi and An ZiYi turned their gaze to the tall man at his side. His bitingly cold aura startled the two. In front of him sat a woman, who’s back was turned to them.
When MoWenHan heard Guan Xiao call XunMi ‘madam boss’, he was secretly delighted and felt a sudden epiphany. It turns out what he most wanted was for everyone to know that this person was his Mrs.
“Boss Mo, Madam Mo. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Le ChenXi, this is my girlfriend An ZiYi.” Although Le ChenXi was a bit taken by surprise, he still moved forward with An ZiYi. His dad had said that if he was able to collaborate with Mo WenHan this time, then Le family will become the most powerful family in their field. Then, he won’t need to marry that Eldest Miss to consolidate power. Instead, he’ll be able to be together with his beloved An ZiYi.
An ZiYi had been staying silent and smiling the whole time. On the inside, she was having a rush of thoughts. This man was very dangerous and powerful. It would be great if she could become this person’s lover.
As soon as the thought entered her consciousness, her desire began to grow. She had heard of Mo WenHan’s name in her past life. But at the time she hadn’t paid it much attention. After all, the main news at the time was focused on XunMi and the Young Master of the Le family, causing her to only remember Le ChenXi clearly. Thus, her first choice when she rebirthed was Le ChenXi.
Now, she felt that she could try Mo WenHan. However, meeting his sharp, intense, eyes, she shrank back. With just one glance, her whole back broke out into a cold sweat.
Mo WenHan didn’t care to pay Le ChenXi any notice. If not for this person, then XunMi wouldn’t have almost been in trouble.
XunMi also didn’t have the desire to reply. She was afraid that if she turned to face the female lead, she’ll be so disgusted that she won’t be able to eat.
Unfortunately, others didn’t know how to read the situation. Le ChenXi stepped forward, preparing to continue chatting. He finally saw the woman’s face, and suddenly called out in shock, “XunMi!”
Not only did his sudden shout surprise XunMi, but it had also scared An ZiYi behind him.
“XunMi? Impossible, why would she be in here.” An ZiYi pushed Le ChenXi aside. When she saw the woman’s face, she also shout out in shock.
The silently watching crowd were not only surprised but horrified. No one had forgotten the fact that Guan Xiao had said ‘boss and madam boss’. Now that means Mo WenHan’s wife was the current subject of gossip, XunMi!
Oh lord, this turn of events is too strong, they don’t know how to react.
XunMi rubbed her ears. Didn’t these two know that it was very rude to just suddenly screech like that?
“Oh, it’s Young Master Le and your commoner lover. Did Le family teach you to howl and shout in public venues? Could this be why Young Master Le would fancy a commoner girl? Due to the common practice of...disregarding of social etiquette? You two really are a destined match.”
Those two had screamed right into her ear. Her ears were still ringing.
Mo WenHan helped XunMi rub the space behind her ears and lightened her discomfort.
Watching their interactions, their audience thought: In the end, the Xun family that they had mocked were now the biggest winners. Le family must truly be blind. They caused a scandal for Xun family, thinking they had dropped a sesame seed to pick up a watermelon (T/N: basically saying that trade something inferior in for something more superior). But it turns out the Xun family had already made connections with a sturdy tree. How could anything else compare to that?
“Thanks, Han ge. It’s feeling much better.” XunMi grabbed Mo WenHan’s hand and gave him a brilliant smile.
Mo WenHan held her hand, sweeping his cold eyes towards the two frozen figures on the side as his face filled with loathing.
“I don’t know you two. Please do not disturb my meal with my madam. I’m afraid that looking at you two for too long might cause her to lose her appetite.” He looked at Guan Xiao, then picked up the menu while asking XunMi what she wanted to eat.
Guan Xiao resignedly took up the duty of asking the two to leave. Ah, if he sees these two in future, he must remember to go around them. They were now blacklisted.
An ZiYi was unwilling to just leave like this. She was jealous that XunMi had such good luck. She had made such a perfect scheme yesterday, how did it become like this?
It must be that Boss Mo doesn’t know that XunMi had rolled in bed with someone else last night. That’s why he’s helping her.
Yes, it must be this. As long as she exposed XunMi for being a lowly plaything, Boss Mo would definitely abandon XunMi. Maybe he’ll even feel grateful for her and see her in a different light as a result.
As she passed Guan Xiao, she quickly spoke up.
