Chapter 69: The meal (2/2)

Huh? So it turned out I reaped some rewards after all! Suddenly, I didn’t want to leave.

“It’s not really harassment. He’s only a child.”

“He almost poured sulfuric acid on you! You’re still going to endure it? What if he gotyour face? We all know reporter Mi relies on her face to eat.”

Sulfuric acid? They were talking about Lu Zhengyang!

Mi Fan gave the man a deadly glare. She seemed extremely irked. “It was just a bad joke. He has bitter feelings towards me.”

“That’s why I mentioned it. Do you want me to get rid of him? I mean, we got rid of his dad. Why not allow the father and son to reunite? Then, you won’t have to fret.”

What?! Scum of society!

I shouted from the inside. Who would’ve thought such a respectable looking gentleman would be like this the moment he opened his mouth…

“He’s a child. He’s not a threat. If I can’t even deal with him, how can I be the reporter for the director’s family? I’m not letting it get to me, so there’s no need for you to be concerned as well.”

“Let me guess. Could it be that you’re feeling remorseful for the child?” The man’s eyes suddenly sharpened. He spoke in a testing manner, “You must not become soft-hearted, reporter Mi.”

“We’re on the same team. I never thought of turning back. Also, I never thought of becoming soft-hearted. But the incident is already over. I don’t want to reignite the drama because of a child. That is not good for us either.”

“As expected of reporter Mi, you sure are considerate. But lately, there has been a lot of houseflies around you… you must be careful.” The young master drank his red wine as his eyes flickered.

“You have been investigating me.”

“How could this be considered investigating? You’re an outstanding performer for my family. We just care about you.”

“I don’t need you to worry about those around me.” Mi Fan put down her fork and knife. She was clearly agitated.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to search the background of that guy? Or could it be you honestly want to date him?”

They were talking about Suyang? Uh oh...could Suyang be a target now?

“Young master, you do not have the power to meddle in my personal life.”

The man finished his cup of red wine in one go. Then, he smiled, “I’m not interested in meddling with your personal life. But, reporter Mi, I must give you an advanced warning. If you’re doing anything that will put my family’s interests at stake, you know the consequences!”

It was a clear threat. I’ve finally experienced what it meant as a one second face change. I was still at the corner listening to their conversation, but I was so intimidated that I didn’t even dare to breathe a bit louder. I was worried I would catch their attention and end up inviting disaster upon myself.

I was trying to make use of my specialty -being an invisible person.

Mi Fan’s expression was calm again. She had her head lowered as she concentrated on eating. Then, she lightly uttered two words, “I know.”

I felt like their words were filled with conspiracy. Is it actually ok for a fake server to listen to so much? Aren’t they too careless? Or would I be killed for knowing too much?

I felt like something was wrong with this picture.

From time to time, I would observed the two of them. There was an unspoken, shapeless, ominous atmosphere that was causing me to break out in cold sweat.

My mind was scrambling to make sense of everything. Could this be a trap? In reality, they already knew I was a fake server from the beginning? That was why they were deliberately mystifying the whole situation to lure me to take the bait?

No, based on their titles, there was no need for them to do that?

Mi Fan wiped her mouth and placed down the handkerchief. The man was almost done eating as well.

Ok, after they get up, I will be able to tidy everything and escape. Currently, I give myself 80% of success rate.

“Thank you for the meal, young master. I have something else to attend to this afternoon, so I will be taking my leave now.” Then, Mi Fan stood up and took her bag with her without turning back.

The moment her back faced the man, there was a quick change of expression. She looked angry. There was a look of hatred in her eyes.

I watched as Mi Fan left the room. The director’s young master’s face had also darkened. Wow, those two were chameleon experts!

I sighed. Then, the young master suddenly turned his attention towards me. He sounded annoyed, “Why aren’t you tidying up the table? What are you waiting for?”

I flinched. Oh yeah, this was the perfect opportunity to leave.
