Chapter 1029: Do You Know Who I Am? (2)
Seeing Mo Xicheng’s gloomy expression, Shi Nianyao lifted her chin and took a step forward to stand next to him. “Idol, don’t worry, I’ll get rid of her for you! And it will be a clean job.”
Mo Xicheng was stumped for a moment.
Then he shook his head and said, “Let me handle this matter. Why don’t you return to the hotel first?”
“Now way!” Shi Nianyao was insistent. “As your assistant, I will share your burdens and miseries.”
On that note, she strode forward.
As he watched her from behind her, he could only think of how adorable she was when she was this overbearing and aggressive.
He shook his head and followed her.
Upon seeing Shi Nianyao, Yao Lili shot her a dirty look and asked, “Why are you here?”
Shi Nianyao said, “Aunty, I’m Mo Xicheng’s girlfriend, so I’ve come to say hello to you.”
She had emphasized the word “girlfriend” to stake her claim.
Li Xue narrowed her eyes at that word and looked at Shi Nianyao, as she humphed icily.
On the other hand, Yao Lili said, “What nonsense are you speaking? Our Mo Xicheng does not have a girlfriend. And even if he did, it would be Li Xue.”
As she said, Mo Xicheng had already walked over. His gaze was cast downwards and his eyes were sorrowful.
He said with an indifferent expression, “Miss Li, I’m sorry. I already do have a girlfriend.”
When Yao Lili heard what he had said, she was livid. Pointing a finger at him, she started, “You rascal, are you going to make me let your father down? Huh! The Mo family has brought you up and this is how you repay their kindness? You’re saying that this silly girl is your girlfriend? Let me tell you, I won’t accept her.”
Mo Xicheng ignored Yao Lili and looked straight at Li Xue.
Li Xue’s pupils shrank back, but very quickly, she smiled and said, “It’s alright, Mr. Mo, but I think you should at least give me a chance. Let’s have a meal together, if that’s ok with you. And even if we don’t end up as a couple, we can be friends. Perhaps I can even remain as one of your fans—”
Upon hearing this, Yao Lili immediately interjected, “What do you mean not a couple? Miss Li, don’t worry. Mo Xicheng will not go against my wishes. Since Miss Li suggested a meal together, then we shall do that.”
At this point, Li Xue threw a glance in Shi Nianyao’s direction and said with a faint smile, “I think perhaps we should have French cuisine.”
When Yao Lili heard this, her pupils shrank immediately.
She recalled the early days of being together with Dad Mo. He would take her to French restaurants, but she had not known a word of French when it came to the names of the dishes.
At that time, she had felt inferior and the experience had shaken her self-esteem.
Since Li Xue had suggested eating French cuisine, was she using this as an opportunity to beat Shi Nianyao?
At that thought, Yao Lili’s face lit up with delight and she clapped her hands once to seal the decision. “French cuisine it is then!”
She would leave Shi Nianyao no doubt about this.
Although Mo Xicheng was a bastard son, they still were from a wealthy family. It was not something a commoner girl like her could handle.
Mo Xicheng had listened silently to this conversation. Having grown up in such an environment, he immediately understood the intentions of these two women.
His pupils shrank back as he furrowed his brow.
Just as he was about to reject the suggestion, Shi Nianyao spoke up, “The French cuisine you’re referring to… Would it be that newly-opened French restaurant about a 100 meters from here?”
Li Xue nodded at once and said, “Indeed. I just passed by that way and the atmosphere seemed rather pleasant.”
Shi Nianyao thought to herself, “That restaurant is my big brother’s new business venture… Of course the atmosphere is rather pleasant.”
