"Is this enough? Do you want another fight? You could have just moved your car. Why did you have to go this far?" Daisy stepped aside. Mark had moved the BMW standing in their way. Now, the cars behind could finally move forward.
Which army do you serve? I'll tell your leader that you abuse your power!" The middle-aged man had been reduced to absolute inferiority now, so he became angry and red-faced.
"I'm Daisy Ouyang from the garrison headquarters in the S City. You can complain against me to anyone you want." Daisy sneered. Another report? Hank had impeached her last time. The man now threatened to complain against her. Daisy felt star-crossed.
"Colonel, I have also parked our car. Should we go back now?" Mark ran over, but didn't look at the middle-aged man. Michelle who was standing there attracted his attention. He wondered how Daisy knew this tomboy as she was totally different from Daisy in appearance and character.
"You can't leave. You have to compensate me." The middle-aged man turned to Daisy, and ignored Michelle who hit his car. He was sure that Daisy couldn't do anything to him in public.
"Hey, you should turn to me for compensation. Why are you asking for compensation from Sister Colonel?" Michelle was chewing a gum. Her careless and casual manner suggested that she was a free and wild girl.
"She offended me. I won't let her go." The middle-aged man had decided to create a scene.
"Mark, call the head of the transportation department. Ask him to personally come here, and solve this problem. I want to see how he arranges this work. The traffic congestion has lasted for a couple of hours. Why isn't the traffic police here?" Daisy's eyebrows knitted in a frown. Since the middle-aged man wanted an explanation, she would satisfy him. He didn't know what the probable consequences could be if the head of the transportation department personally came to settle the dispute.
"Come on. I wasn't born yesterday. Don't try to browbeat me. How can a humble soldier like you invite the head of the transportation department here?" The man despised Daisy because he thought Daisy was a nobody. He did acquire a lot of wealth and stature, but failed to recognize Daisy.
"Our colonel thinks nothing of the head of the transportation department. Do you know who she is? She is very influential in the S City." Mark didn't exaggerate. No government officials in the city were as powerful as Daisy. They had to accept Daisy's instructions without an argument.
"Creak…" Following a long and harsh brake sound, a fiery red Maybach stopped at the roadside. Rain opened the door, and got off the car. His curly hair fell carelessly on his smooth forehead. His blue earrings looked even more dazzling under the neon light, highlighting his fascinating look against his flamboyant style.
"Mr. Xia, what brings you here? I owe you an apology for being late for the appointment. Look, I didn't lie to you.
"Mr. Xia, what brings you here? I owe you an apology for being late for the appointment. Look, I didn't lie to you. There is really a traffic congestion here." The middle-aged man let out a smile at the sight of Rain, and walked up to him flatteringly.
"Daisy, I'm so happy to see you here." Rain ignored the middle-aged man. He quickly walked up to Daisy. His smiling face had excitement written all over it.
"Hello, Rain. Did you just get off work? Or are you going to meet your girlfriend?" Daisy teased Rain. Since Edward was on holiday, Daisy would often meet Rain. He wanted to have someone to delegate his work. Edward was also included in his list.
"Daisy, don't make fun of me. You know I don't have a girlfriend." Rain stroked his nose. Whenever he felt embarrassed, he would habitually stroke his nose.
Well, Mr. Xia, who is she?" The middle-aged man was now anxious. He wondered how the colonel knew Rain. His company had to associate with the FX International Group for survival. Any mistake could lead to severe consequences.
"Don't you know her? She is the youngest female colonel in the S City and the wife of the CEO of the FX International Group. How ignorant you are. No wonder you still run a small company only." Rain blinked with a smile. His extraordinarily beautiful looks were enough to enchant everyone.
"What? What did you say? She… She is Mrs. Mu?" Shocked, the middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat. He was no longer conceited or arrogant. The colonel turned out to be Mrs. Mu. That was why she looked so familiar to him. The man deeply regretted everything that happened today. He should have watched the news and memorized her face. Then he wouldn't have done anything to offend her.
It's beyond the shadow of a doubt. Well, what you are doing here?" Rain suddenly thought of this matter and asked curiously.
It's nothing serious." Daisy answered in an emotionless voice. She never made a fuss about such things.
Yes, right. We just had a little argument with each other. It's not a big problem." The man breathed a sigh of relief as Daisy didn't pursue the matter further.
Wow! Miss, where did you buy your earrings? They look stunning!" Michelle said in a brisk voice. She excitedly stared at Rain's ears but didn't notice that Rain pulled a long face after hearing what she said.
What did you call me? Miss? Look at me! I'm a man! A real man!" Rain calmed his anger down and turned back. He gave the girl who dressed herself eccentrically a ferocious stare.
Well, you look like a ladyboy." Rain's stare scared Michelle. She took a few steps back. What was wrong with the appellation "miss"? Rain was definitely more stunning than most girls.
You make me angry! Girl, listen up. If I get vindictive, you're doomed." Michelle didn't expect that Rain, who was so charming, would try and cause trouble to her in the following days just because she addressed him as "miss."
"Whatever. I'm not afraid. Everyone can see that you do look like a lady." Michelle drew back her neck. Rain's angry face frightened her. She mistakenly thought Rain was a lady, but it seemed that Rain wasn't too happy with this. A malicious look appeared on his face.
"Stop. Now let's get down to business." Daisy frowned. The sudden appearance of Rain brought a new angle to the whole fight, so now there was no need to invite the head of the transportation department here.
"Since you're Mrs. Mu's friend, you don't have to compensate me. You can keep it as my respect for Mrs. Mu." He couldn't afford to offend the FX International Group. If he still asked Michelle for compensation, he wouldn't have any place left in the business circle.
Come on. Mrs. Mu doesn't need your respect. I was anyway ready to pay the compensation, but your arrogance annoyed me." Michelle scoffed at the man.
Out of blows friendship grows." The man put up a smiling face to please Daisy and Rain. Before Rain came, he had his nose in the air, but now he seemed subservient and servile.
Oh? What did I miss? Lewis Yi, do you have it in for Daisy?" Rain smiled evilly and looked askance at the man.
"I don't dare. Mr. Xia, I simply can't afford to offend Mrs. Mu." What Rain said threw Lewis Yi into a state of panic. Rain was the second chief in the FX International Group. Everyone knew that Edward and Rain were close friends.
"What a hypocritical man you are. You asked Sister Colonel to pay you a large sum of money. Now you have changed your mind." Michelle didn't want to let go Lewis Yi so easily.
"Did I hear it right? A large sum of money? Daisy, you owe him money?" Rain was shocked. How could this be possible? Edward was extremely rich. How could Daisy ever be in debt?
Do you think I owe him money? Michelle, solve the problem on your own. I have to go back." Daisy rolled her eyes at Rain. Rain was always nervous and restless. She didn't want to discuss this matter with him in the middle of the road.
Okay. Sister Colonel, thank you. Hope we meet again some day." Michelle cast a sidelong glance at Lewis Yi. He could never extort money from her.
Okay. Bye. Mark, let's go back. Rain, where are you going?" Daisy was poker-faced. She seldom smiled, but she was tender to Rain.
I'll go home too. It's late. I won't go to visit Edward." Rain smiled. He had been accustomed to Daisy's cold expression.
Okay. Drive safely." Daisy walked over to the Hummer which was parked not too far away. Mark followed her behind. He thought Daisy should seize this chance to embarrass Lewis Yi.
"Mr. Xia, let's meet some other day. What do you think?" As Rain said he would go, Lewis Yi's face screwed into an obsequious smile.
No need. There is nothing left to talk between us." After Daisy's car left, Rain jerked his head in Lewis Yi's direction, with ridicule in his eyes.
What? Why?" Lewis Yi couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that Rain would say No to him. Rain himself came to him and showed his interest to cooperate with him. He used to be a partner of the Lin Group. After the Lin Group was purchased by the FX International Group, he fell into a passive position.
"Why? It's because you offended someone you shouldn't offend. All our agreements are cancelled now." Rain was cold. Although he didn't witness the whole argument, he learned from their talk that Lewis Yi made things difficult for Daisy. He didn't allow anyone to bully the people he cared for. Since Lewis Li went against his rule, he wouldn't forgive him ever.
Mr. Xia, would you kindly make an exception for me this time? Ignorance can be forgiven, right? I didn't know that she was Mrs. Mu, so we had a dispute." Lewis Yi followed Rain to his fiery red Maybach and almost begged him for mercy.
Lewis Yi, you should be glad that you meet me today. If my boss finds out what happened here, you won't be able to stay in the S City. It's known to all that he loves his wife dearly. You shouldn't have offended his wife. Today might be the worst day of your life."
Ignoring Lewis Yi, Rain got in his car and closed the door. After he pressed the accelerator, the engine roared, and the car leapt forward and soon disappeared at the end of the road. Lewis Yi sat down on the ground, depressed and helpless.
