Watching those two showing affection without a single care about other people, Yu Qing's face looked as if he had eaten a fly.
He came here to see Xu Qin's miserable face not to see something like this!
Gu Wen noticed his dissatisfaction and knew too well that his anger was about to flare up. She quietly held his right hand and softly appeased, "Honey, calm down."
Yu Qing immediately flung her hand away and glared at her. His eyes actually contained a hint of disgust.
Gu Wen quickly shut her mouth no longer daring to look at him. She adopted a pitiful look as she lowered her head to look at the floor.
In the past, Yu Qing's heart would soften and quickly appease the beauty. But at this moment, his bad mood further intensified.
Especially, when compared to the sharp and strong momentum of Xu Qin's supposed wife who looked like someone that you shouldn't mess around with.
Yu Qing felt like Gu When was timid and a cowardly woman, nothing worth mentioning at all.
He lost face in front of Xu Qin due to her!
Slightly tugging his suit jacket and reorganizing his sleeve cuffs, Yu Qing got up and walked in the Xu couple's direction.
"So this is Mrs. Xu. I am fortunate to meet you here."
Yu Qing put on what he thought was his most handsome smile and his hot eyes were fixed on Xu Ming's face as if not afraid of being misunderstood by others.
Usually, other women would blush or feel flustered by his gaze but Xu Ming calmly looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Who are you?"
Gu Wen: "..."
Yu Qing: "..."
Xu Qin's stifled a light laugh on the sideline.
Yu Qing's expression hardened. Repeatedly telling himself not to get angry with the beauty in front of him, he pretended that he was not affected and gentlemanly introduced himself, "I am Yu Qing, the only son of the Yu family. I have known President Xu since I was 5 years old."
While putting down these words, Yu Qing reached out his right hand for a handshake.
He thought that after knowing his identity, the other party wouldn't dare embarrass him in public and willingly returned the greeting.
But who would have thought that the other party simply remained motionless and didn't even glance at his outstretched hand?!
As a result, the atmosphere turned awkward with Yu Qing's hand stiffly hanging in the air.
Gu Wen was shocked by Xu Ming's rude attitude. However, soon, she became happy.
Yu Qing cared about his face the most. Being looked down upon by a woman, he wouldn't stand it.
As expected, Yu Qung furiously took back his hand. The smile was erased from his face and replaced by anger.
"Don't you think you are being rude?"
Xu Ming's gaze remained steadfast, not a single hint of timidity was found in his expression.
"Courtesy demands reciprocity." He sarcastically said.
[A/N: People who are well-mannered to others will receive kindness and favors.]
Yu Qing might not be that bright but he could understand her underlying meaning almost instantly.
Since he is being rude then it is only right for her to return with rudeness.
Outright being called out by his rival's woman, Yu Qing was beyond furious.
His nostrils flared up and he pointed his finger at Xu Ming's face. His entire body was shaking up due to anger.
Xu Ming didn't even flinch at his outburst. Just as he was about to deal another blow, his line of sight suddenly got blocked by a certain tall figure.
Xu Qin knew that Xu Ming wouldn't be intimidated by the likes of him but he was still uncomfortable with her being treated in this way.
"Yu Qing, I warn you. Don't go too far."
Yu Qing whose head was clouded with fury didn't care about his warning but Gu Wen knew that Xu Qin was not joking around.
Afraid that she would get dragged down with this fool, she hurriedly stepped forward to meditate.
"President Xu, please calm down. Young Master Yu didn't mean it that way. His friendly gesture was being rejected in front of everyone by Mrs. Xu so he couldn't help but feel a bit hurt that's it."
When all was said and done, Yu Qing didn't display any frivolous behavior, therefore, Xu Ming's behavior was undoubtedly unreasonable.
Gu Wen was practically shifting the blame to Xu Ming while pretending to apologize on the surface.
Xu Qin who had never looked at her from the beginning to now finally focused his gaze on her face causing the latter's heartbeat to accelerate.
"Uninvited guests like both of you don't deserve to educate others about manners."
The instant Gu Wen heard his ruthless words, her face was immediately dyed red. This time it was not to due shyness but to shame.
She had always heard about his good reputation so it came as a shock to hear him say these right in front of her face.
Figuring that Xu Qin broke out of his character just to protect the woman behind him, Gu Wen felt even more infuriated.
They both were gold diggers but the treatment was a world apart.
That shameless woman struck a diamond mine whereas she, herself was stuck with a rotten one!
Gu Wen was convinced that Xu Ming's rude attitude was due to having Xu Qin as her backer allowing her to do whatever she pleased.
Gnashing her teeth, she spoke with a forced smile, "President Xu, I am an actress with a good reputation, your words can be misleading and damage my public image. "
Gu Wen stressed the word reputation as if wanting to remind Xu Qin of his wife's wretched name.
There is no smoke without fire.
Although the woman in front of her looked nothing like the one in the picture, Gu Wen who had been working in the entertainment industry could tell that they were the same person.
So those rumors should be true to some extent.
Yu Qing who had been huffing in anger finally found his ground and snorted, "Humph! You should look after your wife and stop letting her run around in the club which is full of men. Who knows? She might have secretly let you wear a green hat behind your back!"
Despite being provoked, Xu Qin was not one bit angry. He carefully checked his daughter to make sure that she was not awake due to this clown and unhurriedly said, "I am not like you who are always feeling insecure about yourself. What's wrong with letting my wife go out to play?"
If any other men were to say this, others would mock him for being stupid. However, when it came to Xu Qin, his words sounded credible.
He has the look, power, wealth, good temperament, and open-mindedness. No woman would leave him for another guy.
Yu Qing got choked by his confidence.
However, Xu Qin was not done yet. He slightly turned his head to look at Xu Ming and reconfirmed with a light laugh, "Wife, am I wrong?"
Gu Wen witnessed his indulgent look which was in contrast to when he was facing her. She angrily clenched her fists and her red-painted nails were dug into her palms.
How she wishes that she could switch places with that shameless thing?!
While Gu Wen was about to die from envy, Xu Ming was having goosebumps from being called 'Wife' by another man.
Had it not been for Xu Qin's good-looking appearance and outstanding temperament, Xu Ming wouldn't stand this nonsense and punch him right in the face by now.
Regardless, Xu Ming still conveyed his response, "You're right. You are an ideal marriage partner."
Xu Qin didn't expect this unexpected praise at all. Based on his understanding of her, she didn't like speaking nonsense and was not afraid to voice her real thoughts out loud.
Even if she were to play pretend with him, rather than fabricating a story, she spoke ambiguously to mislead her audience.
Having been treated coldly by the other party for all this time, Xu Qin didn't know how to react to this.
His ears couldn't help but turn slightly red. In the end, he cleared his throat and turned around to face the ugly face of Yu Qing.
All the good feelings instantly evaporated. Xu Qin quickly regained his calmness.
Yu Qing finally couldn't stand their interactions and raised his voice, "How can a cheater dare to confess that she is cheating in front of others?!"
She dares. Xu Qin who had suffered multiple times under Xu Ming's sharp tongue internally answered.
On the surface though, he didn't show any irregularity and said, "Trust is important in a relationship, don't you know this?" He made a short pause then added as if he had just realized something, "Ah, is this why your relationship never lasts?"
"You, you!"
Gu Wen hurriedly hugged his hand and whispered, "Let's leave."
Yu Qing was about to refuse when Gu Wen cut in, "Do you want this matter to reach your older sister's ears?"
Perhaps her persuasion did have an effect. Yu Qing surprisingly calmed down. He stormed out of the room after giving Xu Ming one last glare.
Finally, the room regained its calmness. Xu Ming commented in a dull tone, "What a waste of time."
Xu Qin couldn't agree more with him. He nonchalantly took out his phone from his coat pocket and stopped the recording.
Xu Ming saw him proceed to send the recording to someone followed by several texts.
Finished, Xu Qin lifted his head and said, "Let's go home."
Xu Ming didn't ask anything and took the lead to walk out.
Manager Wan who was having a lookout for all this time in case other customers overheard their conversation politely escorted them out.
After all the Great Buddhas were sent away, he felt as if a big stone was lifted from his chest.
Sigh... Of all days why didn't he check his fortune before coming to work?
Just as Manager Wan was about to get back to work, a figure with granny gray hair was spotted in the distance coming in his direction.
The man eventually stopped in front of him and tugged down the face mask revealing his handsome face.
"Where is Xu Qin and his family?" He excitedly asked.
Manager Wan had a moment of silence.
Others would have never expected that this man who dressed flamboyantly like an idol turned out to be their chef or in other words his boss.
What day is it? Why do these busy people suddenly pop up one after another?
"They left just now."
Song Jiayi widened his eyes in amazement, not believing that he was this unlucky.
"I ran here without stopping to catch my breath, what a shame." He sighed.
Song Jiayi refused to give chase after Xu Qin and his family like a diligent detective in the drama. His body was also precious.
Dragging his tired body into the restaurant, he went to sit down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"So how is his wife?"
It was not an exaggeration to say that everyone in the upper circle was curious about Xu Qin's mysterious wife.
Song Jiayi was Xu Qin's classmate back in high school so he was rather enthusiastic about this matter.
He didn't believe in those ridiculous rumors but was not carefree enough like Yu Qing to poke his nose in someone else's private life.
He merely enjoyed eating melon that's it.
Manager Wan recalled Mrs. Xu's appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing his somewhat troubled expression, Song Jiayi exclaimed in disbelief, "There is no way! Is Xu Qin's wife really not attractive as previously said in those rumors?!"
Manager Wan shook his head. In the next second, he began to sing praises of Mrs. Xu's beauty, "It is the opposite! I have never seen a woman with such a strong aura like her! She is born to be a queen! Her glance makes men weak in the knee! Her voice is melodious like a nightingale. Her posture is straight and her head never cowers in front of coercion. Her heart is as big as the ocean. Her beauty makes the moon hide in shame behind the cloud! Words alone can not describe her beauty!"
Song Jiayi: "..."
Song Jiayi's forehead was full of black lines while listening to his nonsense.
Why don't you just say that Xu Qin married a fairy as his wife?
What kind of soup did Xu Qin's wife make his subordinate drink when he was not here?
