1628 Stumbling into Old Enemies in a Foreign Country (2/2)
Luckily, the table was big enough to hold both groups. There were some vacant chairs on the side too. They just needed to move the chairs and set up the table with cutlery. It did not look like the table was set at the very last moment.
”It's you!” The Asian lady was surprised as soon as she saw Mo Fan.
”Oh!” Mo Fan let out a weird sound.
”It's the young master of the Bai Clan. How surprising to see you enjoying the foreign culture in Greece? Or perhaps you are interested in Rosie, the beauty of the Berlens?” Mui Nuxin sat opposite Mo Fan with a smile. She sounded collected, but with an obvious hint of surprise.
”Ugh...” Mo Fan immediately felt awkward. The woman still remembered what had happened in the past.
What a coincidence, there was a misunderstanding when he had visited the Mui Clan too. Mui Nuxin mistook him as Bai Hongfei from the Bai Clan, which had ended up as a joke. He did not expect to stumble into Mui Nuxin again in Greece, especially after how the butler had mistaken them as Rosie's guests.
”Bai Clan? You're Bai Hongfei? Humph!” the handsome man glared at Mo Fan and grunted.
Mo Fan was utterly speechless. What did Bai Hongfei do this time? Why did the guy act like he was about to challenge him to a duel as soon as the name was mentioned?
”Oh wow, it sounds like Leng Qing is going to introduce an impressive handsome man to me. It's great that you two know one another already,” Rosie said smoothly.
Rosie was not too surprised that the two groups actually knew one another. China might have a huge population, but the upper class and the renowned clans in China were fairly small, not to mention that they were both from the same city. It was reasonable for them to know one another.
”Of course he is, I've always wanted to invite this mysterious young man to be my guest, but he never showed up. It seems like I'm not as charming as Sister Rosie. I wouldn't have had the chance to meet him if it wasn't for you!” Mui Nuxin stared at Mo Fan.
”Mui Nuxin, don't flatter me. Why are you in Athens?” Mo Fan inquired.
”I have some business here lately, and Sister Rosie and I happen to have some common goals...” Mui Nuxin said.
Mo Fan remembered that Mui Nuxin was a businesswoman engrossed in earning money. She might not understand anything about magic, but she was in charge of the Mui Clan's financial affairs despite her age!
”It sounds like you often visit other countries to earn money from foreigners,” Mo Fan said.
”HAHA, you can say that!” Mui Nuxin laughed. She was in a good mood after Mo Fan's sudden appearance.
”Stop having a conversation on your own. Shouldn't you introduce them to us properly? Nuxin?” the older of the two men prodded her.
He had thick eyebrows, and seemed to be in his thirties, yet he had the serious bearing of a man around fifty. He was most likely the main guest, considering how Rosie had served him fruits first!
”Sure, well, this is… Bai...” Mui Nuxin was a little hesitant.
”I am Mo Fan!” Mo Fan looked up and introduced himself calmly.
Mo Fan was somewhat observant. He initially thought Mui Nuxin was calling him Bai Hongfei just to fool with him. However, he soon realized that she was trying to hide his identity on purpose.
The only reason Mui Nuxin would do so was because the two men with her might have some grudge against him, the kind of grudge that everyone was well aware of.
Mo Fan had offended a lot of people in his country, especially people from other renowned clans.
However, he was not afraid of stirring up trouble. He did not need Mui Nuxin to cover up for him. He preferred to get right to the point!
As he thought, the expressions of the two men sank as soon as they heard his name.
The handsome young man was only acting a little disdainful at the mention of Bai Hongfei's name. However, when he realized the guy was actually Mo Fan, he immediately rose to his feet and glared at Mo Fan like he was going to throw a punch at him at any second.
The other guy's straight face twisted slightly. He was obviously withholding his anger as he spoke, ”Mo Fan, humph, very well...”
”It's your turn to introduce yourself,” Mo Fan reminded them fearlessly.
Rosie was utterly speechless about how the situation had developed. If she had known something like this would happen, she would rather have split them up. Her efforts to be smooth and slick while adjudicating between the two groups were completely in vain!
Mui Nuxin seemed to have a headache, too. She patted Rosie on the shoulder to comfort her. Wearing a fake smile was never going to work on someone as hot-tempered as Mo Fan...
