âBoss Mo, donât be deceived by her. Yesterday, I saw her enter a room with many men. I even heard people say...say that she had made an appointment with them because she wanted to...play with together with them.â Thinking herself clever, An ZiYi waited for the two to break into a large argument and for Mo WenHan to express his thanks for her.
She didnât expect for her words to be met with a scalding hot cup of tea being thrown at her stomach.
Her exposed skin immediately turned red and swollen. âAH!â Covering her stomach, An ZiYi recoiled back. If Le ChenXi didnât hold her, she would have fallen onto the floor.
Mo WenHanâs face was dark, causing the temperature around him to decrease. Even the diners sitting further away could tell that this Big Boss was angry. But who was he angry at? They quietly shifted in their seats.
Everyone had a tacit understanding: in case a fight was going to occur, they were going to run away. No one was willing to get involved in this kind of thing.
âOnly an idiot like Le ChenXi would want a trash like you. You still try to tempt me? You even dare slander my madam? I know very well where my madam was last night. Guan Xiao, help me wash this trashâs dirty mouth.â The anger in his heart grew and grew. XunMi had good luck so was sent into his room. This woman deserved to die!
XunMi stood up, lightly patting Mo WenHanâs shoulder and shaking her head with a smile. âThis young lady, you say that you saw me enter a room with many men last night, and even heard their conversation. Perhaps you mistook another woman for me. However, I am curious about one thing: how would you have recognized me? I just came back a couple of days ago, we shouldnât have met before. Le family also doesnât have information on me, and there shouldnât be any pictures of me online either. Am I just that famous?â She tapped her chin.
âOh, donât just say that itâs because Le ChenXi had called my name earlier. Your reaction earlier said differently. Does that mean you are purposely trying to frame me? Thatâs why you purposely followed me and looked for an opportunity to incite distrust between me and Han ge.â
Although they were both wearing a long white dress, her 170cm height gave her an added elegance that An ZiYi didnât have.
On her pretty face, her peach blossom eyes arched up, emitting a sharpness that would pressure those on the receiving end of her gaze.
Standing at Mo WenHanâs side, she didnât seem to be pressed down by his formidable atmosphere. Instead, it was like they were mixed together, as if they were always meant to belong in the same harmonious picture frame.
Meanwhile, the interrogated An ZiYi was panicking, her eyes darting right and left. Her white dress made her look weak and spiritless.
If An ZiYi was alone, everyone might think that she was pitiful. But when a weak woman stood next to a woman with grace, both wearing a similar costume, the latter would be more eye-catching.
For men, a more aloof woman would be more able to raise their natural desire to conquer.
âXunMi, ZiYi definitely wouldnât have done it intentionally. How could you be so imperiously assumptive.â Le ChenXi couldnât stand it anymore and spoke up for An ZiYi.
XunMi carelessly glanced over, laughing coldly, âLe ChenXi, you must remember. It wasnât that you rejected me. Rather, I wasnât interested in you. You were just one step ahead of me, rejecting the marriage while I was still abroad. Did you really think that you were the most outstanding man under the heavens? Or did you believe that you were handsome to the point that everyone should like you?â She disdainfully looked the him up and down.
âTsk, youâre just a immature child. Thatâs not sufficient enough for me to pay you any attention. Go back and tell your father that however big of a mess youâve caused for my family, Iâll be returning it back to him twofold. That includes this commoner girl of yoursâ attempt to scheme against me. Donât think that just because Le family picked up a girl that knew a thing or two about gemstone betting so now you can surpass Xun family. Hehe...you couldnât even compare.â In her eyes, there was no difference between commonpeople and the rich.
But this woman was truly too shameless. Thus, she can only hit her in her Achillesâ heel.
âRight, I heard Miss An ZiYiâs loyal friend Miss Xie Tian Tian was taken to the police station due to a good friendâs betrayal. As for who that friend is, would Miss An like to know? This morning, Miss Xie had revealed a lot of secrets in public, including the fact that Miss An had participated in their gatherings.â Her lips curved up into a smile that could make viewers terrified.
An ZiYi paled, her heart shaking with dread. Xie Tian Tian and her group were arrested this morning. However, her original plan had included XunMi being arrested with them.
Thatâs why she was so surprised seeing XunMi here now. Her words just now made her even more alarmed. What exactly did Xie Tian Tian say?
No, she absolutely cannot let Le family know. She hadnât made connections with Mo WenHan yet so she can only cling onto Le family.
âWhat are you saying? I donât understand. ChenXi, letâs go.â Grabbing Le ChenXiâs hand, she took unsteady steps towards the exit.
The silently listening crowd also quickly lowered their heads and returned to eating their meal. In their hearts, they were gossiping about the melodrama they had heard. That An ZiYi sure was suspicious. Of course: as a commoner girl who was able to climb up the social ladder and gain the elder of Le familyâs approval, how could she be simple?
If they saw that family in the future, it would be best to just walk around them. Boss Mo obviously was Xun familyâs supporter. Moreover, Miss Xun, no, Madam Mo had public stated her feelings.
âGuan Xiao.â Mo WenHan called out. Guan Xiao, who was preparing to quietly leave, immediately deflated.
âYes, boss. Iâll go do it immediately.â Hehe, he knew that his boss was still thinking about making sure that woman had her mouth washed clean.
Aiya, forget it. What else can he do as a high-standard assistant. He should just go do it.
âHave Qiao Yuan thoroughly investigate last nightâs situation. Also, investigate everything that that woman did in the past, donât even miss a single drop.â
âYes,â Guan Xiao put down the car keys and quickly left.
The two people left behind didnât say much afterwards, only beginning their warm and comfortable meal.
In the afternoon, Mo WenHan dropped her off at Lu MoXinâs house, only heading back to the office after making plans to pick her up later.

When Le ChenXi brought An ZiYi back to the Le house, Leâs family head Le ZhengTian sat in the main hall. He was obviously waiting for him, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
Seeing the two enter, the walking stick in his hands slammed down onto the ground.
âItâs all because of this fox temptress! If not for you, how could Le family meet with such troubles! Iâm going to make you regret ever delusionally thinking of climbing into my sonâs bed!â
