Chapter 27 (1/2)

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Married

“Of course, she is suitable! This was practically tailor-made for Yun Nan.” Mr. Mo chuckled and looked at Yun Nan with loving kindness.

Yun Liu was shocked. The young ladies behind her who had spoken callously just now quietly retreated, wishing they could quickly disappear into the crowd.

They had just mocked the other party for being a country bumpkin, and it turned out they were the ones who were inexperienced and uninformed. This slap in the face came too quickly and ruthlessly.

Fang Xi didn’t want to let them go. She smiled at Mr. Mo and said, “It’s a good thing you came. Yun Nan was near-mobbed by these young ladies. They demand she immediately go out and find a shop to buy a new dress and change out of her gown. They told her not to embarrass herself here wearing a high-quality imitation. Isn’t that right, Miss Yun Liu?”

“Oh?” Mr. Mo’s smile faded as his gaze swept across the group of flashily dressed girls.

Yun Liu’s face paled, and she quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Mo, my apologies. I heard the dress was a fake from someone else just now. Yun Nan is my sister, and the one who brought her in here, so I panicked. I have her best interests at heart. I was afraid that she would be laughed at. I’m terribly sorry to have caused you trouble here—”

”

You

brought her in?” Mr. Mo interrupted her and looked at Yun Nan.

Yun Liu hurriedly stepped forward, and said, “Mr. Mo, please don’t be angry with me. The Yun family only has two invitations. I gave them to my brother and sister. My sister came in with my invitation.”

Mr. Mo’s attention turned to Yun Liu, and he inquired, “Then how did you…” He left his sentence unfinished, waiting for her answer.

Yun Liu glanced at Shi Nian, who was standing beside Mr. Mo, and blushed slightly. “I asked for another invitation card from your public relations department using Shi Nian’s name.”

She was certain that Shi Nian wouldn’t ruin her reputation in public. Moreover, she noticed that when Shi Nian saw Yun Nan, the couple didn’t interact, so she felt she knew the score of their relationship.

Mr. Mo’s face darkened, and he barked, “Yun Nan! Did the public relations department not send you an invitation?”

Yun Nan smiled and reassured him, “Don’t accuse them of neglect. How could they not send me an invitation? They’re afraid I’ll snitch on them if they don’t.”

Even a blind person could tell that Yun Nan and Fang Xi had a close relationship with Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo frowned and turned to Shi Nian, “Shi Nian, you should know better than to seek personal privileges from me.”

Shi Nian’s expression was aloof, but his attitude was respectful when he responded, “I’ve never done such a thing. You should investigate this matter and ascertain the facts. On the other hand, I want to sue your public relations department; they shouldn’t believe any charlatan who comes to them with my name. I won’t pay the bill for their negligence.”
