Chapter 481 - Jealousy (2/2)

Leon immediately jumped to Su Li’s defense with the most outrageous remarks. Then, he switched the topic to Xiao Luo and asked, “Right, I’ve still yet to know what kind of job you do, Mr. Xiao?”

“I’m in sales. Ms. Demi here is my boss,” Xiao Luo replied.

F*ck, how was it possible that he’s just a salesman?

How was it possible that Sabrina actually married a salesman?

Leon was a little shocked when he heard that, but he merely smiled and said, “Mr. Xiao, you must be really capable in sales; so what is your annual salary like?”

“I only receive a monthly salary, not an annual salary,” Xiao Luo replied. He was not very happy with these questions as Leon was evidently finding ways to make him look bad in front of Su Li.

“So, you receive a monthly salary, and here I thought… ah, it’s nothing, nothing. So… just continue to work hard and I’m sure things will get better for you in the future. Anyway, you can’t be all that bad since you’re the guy that Sabrina has chosen,” Leon said.

Shen Qingyan couldn’t bear to watch this anymore and spoke out for Xiao Luo. “Mr. Leon, Mr. Xiao is already a really capable and impressive person. He just helped my company secure a huge order not too long ago. His commission alone was seventeen million,” she said.

“Is that so? That’s really not all that bad. It’s about one-tenth of how much I usually invest in a movie. Considering how Mr. Xiao is just an ordinary guy without a large network, it’s really impressive to be able to secure such an order. Come, here’s a toast to show my respect,” Leon said, smiling as he raised his glass of wine.

“I have to drive, so I can’t drink,” Xiao Luo said.

His response was cold, for he had already formed a poor impression of Leon.

“This is a 1988 Lafite, the alcohol content isn’t that high. You’ll be fine,” Leon said.

“It is illegal to drink and drive in our country, Leon. I think we should just cut all this small talk. Let’s just stick to our discussion about you becoming a shareholder,” Su Li said. She did not like the fact that Xiao Luo was being looked down upon by someone else.

“Fine. Let’s eat as we discuss then!”

Leon put his wine glass down, called for the waitresses waiting outside the room, and had them bring in the food.

While the three of them were discussing business, Xiao Luo was focused solely on the food. It went without saying that the quality of food served in a luxurious place like this was nothing short of superb. Besides, the timing was perfect as he was famished then, and he wasn’t going to hold back. He gobbled everything down and, in his indulgence, ate noisily.

Xiao Luo’s poor table manners made Leon, Su Li, and Shen Qingyan turn toward him and stare.

“Don’t worry about me, you guys just continue!”

Xiao Luo shamelessly grabbed a scrumptious piece of braised wild boar meat and chomped on it like a peasant as the three of them stared at him, horrified. Xiao Luo was oblivious to their stares.

“Sabrina, pray, tell me your husband wasn’t just released from prison?” Leon exclaimed, deliberately teasing her.

Su Li’s cheeks started to turn red, and she glared at Xiao Luo with a murderous look in her eyes. She hoped that he would stop this kind of boorish behavior, but it was obviously not working at all, and she started feeling a little embarrassed. This was shameful, and there was simply no excuse for this. Regardless, one always had to show a little courtesy when having meals, yet she could feel that something wasn’t right that day. Xiao Luo usually didn’t eat that way, so why was he eating this way now? Could it be that he was perhaps… jealous?

Shen Qingyan was annoyed as well and coughed a little. “Xiao Luo, have you gone mad? You’re eating as if someone’s going to steal your food,” she said.

Xiao Luo raised his head. “Don’t worry about me. You guys just continue discussing your work,” he said.

He was indeed a little angry, especially after noticing that Leon and Su Li were actually quite close. It was as if a claw was lightly scratching his heart, and it made him feel troubled. The purpose of him gobbling down all the food could only be seen as a childish ploy to emotionally force Su Li to her distance from Leon.
