"Thanks for the offer. I have a few friends who came with me. Therefore, it's not inconvenient for me to go with Mr. Zhao. Plus, I'm not familiar with Cai Lang!" Mo Lixin suppressed her anger while replying, but her tone was still rushed.
Zhao De was a General Manager of Ji Company's branch office. He had a high status and on the surface, it seemed like he was glamorous and magnificent. Who knew that the person in front of him was not moved by his offer at all. It made him feel defeated.
"Miss Li, right? Why won't you give me some face?" As Zhao De said this, there was a faint indication of him being angry.
Mo Lixin was most scared of shameless and brazen people like him. Yet, she needed to pretend like she wasn't scared.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't think I know you that well." That meant: why should I give you some face?
"You… Ok, ok, ok!" Zhao De said that three times in a row before leaving in anger. Although he was a man, he had an understanding of what women like to use. Mo Lixin wore ordinary clothes, so he didn't think she was someone special. However, he couldn't teach her a lesson in public. Therefore, he prayed in his heart that if she landed in his hands one day, he would make sure she paid for it.
When Mo Lixin returned to the private room, Xu Qingman was just walking out to look for her.
"Xin Xin, why did you go for so long? Did you know that I actually just saw Cai Lang? She was linking arms with a fat man in his 50s. Disgusting!" Xu Qingman said.
Mo Lixin calmly walked back to her seat and said, "I also saw him."
"Where? The bathroom? No wonder you took a long time before coming out. They must've gone to pick a quarrel with you. Do you want this sister to teach them a lesson? I've disliked her for a long time." Xu Qingman said angrily.
Mo Lixin laughed and felt warm in her heart. She didn't have a tough and fierce personality. Towards people or things she didn't like, strangers would think that she didn't bother to talk to them and didn't place them in her heart. But she knew that she just didn't know how to handle the situation any better.
"I'm fine. It's not like I'm injured or anything." Mo Lixin said.
"That's good." As Xu Qingman said this, she also sat down.
"You're like a firecracker every day. What a waste of having a beautiful face." Gan Yunting looked at Xu Qingman and said this.
"Do you think I'm like you? Acting like a young lady every day as well as being coquettish and extra." Like the previous few times, Xu Qingman ruthlessly retorted.
"You…"
"I… I what? I don't like to talk to ugly people. Eat!" Xu Qingman didn't for Gan Yunting to finish talking, interjecting.
Gan Yunting's words were stuck in his throat. His face was flushed as he couldn't say anything to retort.
Lu Xingyan and Ji Nanfeng listened to the two of them hurling insults at each other. Then, they glanced at each other, smiles on their faces.
Mo Lixin couldn't follow the conversation and watched them banter like a couple.
They made a racket the entire meal. As they were chatting and laughing, lunch soon came to an end. Mo Lixin and Xu Qingman left as planned, they all parted ways.
"Third Brother, look at your lonely expression. You make it seem like Third Sister-in-Law will never come back. Really… tsk, tsk, tsk!" Gan Yunting teased. His Third Brother had could act like an overbearing CEO, but he was gentle and elegant. As long as no one touched his bottom line, no one would ever see him getting angry.
What Gan Yunting didn't know was that Ji Nanfeng had another bottom line in this life. That was Mo Lixin.
"Investigate thoroughly what happened before. If I remember correctly, this property belongs to your Gan Family." Ji Nanfeng said.
"Sure! Piece of cake!" Gan Yunting knew that Sister-in-Law must've encountered something unpleasant on her way to the bathroom.

Mo Lixin originally was going to accompany Xu Qingman as the latter and all the women have a common problem. As long as she wasn't happy, all she knew to do was shop, shop and shop.
Because of what Ji Nanfeng had said to Mo Lixin, she went to buy some furniture. Therefore, she followed Xu Qingman to an ordinary market. The items here were pretty good and common people liked coming over. Actually, even though Mo Lixin's family didn't lack money, she enjoyed coming here too as the items here gave a more comfy feeling.
"Xin Xin, what you're saying is correct. Professor Mo is your grandfather and Mo Shibai is your elder brother. Your husband is Ji Family's second son! Oh my god!" Because Xu Qingman was trying to make her way through the crowd, she tried her best to control her voice while saying this.
"Mhm! You didn't ask me before, so I didn't say anything. It's not something I must say anyways. I invited you over to my house a few times, but you refused. Therefore, you can't blame me." Mo Lixin chuckled.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's not your fault. Then why didn't tell me when you were getting married? It's been 4 months, but I have no idea!" Xu Qingman said angrily.
"This…Sorry! But, indeed… it's a bit… inconvenient to say… How about this? Pick anything you want today and I'll pay! You can buy however much you want until you vent your anger, ok?" Mo Lixin only had one friend, so she quickly kissed up to her, admitting defeat.
Mo Lixin naturally wasn't talking about using Ji Nanfeng's card or the cards her grandfather and Elder Brother used. Instead, she used her own money.
Ji Nanfeng didn't want her to go out and work. In order to prevent herself from being a freeloader at home, she occasionally designed wedding dresses in private. When she was a senior in university, she became well-known within that circle and the wedding dresses she designed were very popular. There were many people who went to inquired about her background. However, she never revealed herself. She had a title — Miao Bai. This was also her signature when designing wedding dresses.
