Chapter 129 - Break the Appointment (2/2)

Shi Qingxue was displeased and pulled Xia Mang to her back, mumbling, “I didn’t feel well and wanted to sleep in. What does it have to do with Xia Mang? Mother, don’t wrong a good person.”

Seeing that Dong Hui got mad again, Shi Qingxue hurriedly shut up and pointed to the Juxian Restaurant in front of them, changing the subject. “The Juxian Restaurant is here. Mother, don’t be anxious. It’s so early. Maybe the people from the Leng Family haven’t arrived.”

Dong Hui denied without thinking, “No way. Madam Leng cares about this matter a lot and must be waiting for us in a private room for long.”

She said that firmly but was embarrassed soon.

When they entered the Juxian Restaurant, they found that there was no private room reserved for Madam Leng. Facing Shi Qingxue’s eyes with a faint smile, Dong Hui felt awkward. She told a servant to book a private room and defended the man. “Perhaps he has something to deal with on the way.”

Shi Qingxue thought so and nodded, echoing, “Yes, men need to dress up, too.”

Dong Hui was clear about her daughter’s character and didn’t dare to irritate her anymore. Otherwise, the girl could leave immediately, so Dong Hui had to say, “Since we are here, just have a seat. No need to go away at once.”

Shi Qingxue had no objection and told the waiter to serve food. That was her main purpose to come here.

After the food was served, she started to eat. As she said, the ones who arrived late didn’t qualify to keep others waiting. She ate in a random manner, which made Dong Hui goggle at her and say that girls should be reserved.

Shi Qingxue turned a deaf ear and acted like she was at home.

But Dong Hui’s worry was unnecessary. Till Qingxue was satiated with food and drink, the people from the Leng Family didn’t show up.

“Gee, it means that we’ve been stood up?” Shi Qingxue received the handkerchief from Xia Mang contentedly and wiped her mouth.

Dong Hui’s face darkened and she reproached the servant next to her, “Hasn’t Madam Leng come? Did you not tell the shopkeeper the right room number? So they couldn’t find us?”

The servant shrank his neck in fear and replied while trembling, “I have told the shopkeeper and waiters to bring Madam Leng here as soon as she came, and someone was sent to guard at the door. We wouldn’t have…”

Dong Hui got impatient and interrupted coldly, “Why haven’t they come?”

The servant showed a sad face and wanted to cry but shed no tears. How could he know why they hadn’t come?

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but say, “Mother, it’s fine if the people from the Leng Family didn’t come. Why did you shout at our people?”

Dong Hui was embarrassed to be taught, and Shi Qingxue laughed secretly but continued on purpose, “Maybe they don’t like me and think I am too willful, arrogant and unreasonable, not a good wife.”

Dong Hui didn’t allow anybody to underestimate her loved daughter, including herself and rebuked her sullenly, “What are you talking about? You are wonderful. Leng Qinghan doesn’t deserve you. He didn’t come, and we don’t want to meet him.”

Shi Qingxue was waiting for Dong Hui to say that and instantly stood up, smiling. “In that case, let’s go back home.”

Dong Hui was speechless. She hadn’t thought that she would fall into Shi Qingxue’s trap. But she had said that, so they had to go back.

Shi Qingxue looked at the angry Dong Hui in the front and thought for a while. Then she whispered in Dong Shuang’s ear, and the maid looked at her in surprise. She didn’t say more and just shook her head, speaking in a low voice. “Go now. Don’t let my mother see you.”

Dong Shuang glanced at Dong Hui’s back cautiously and then nodded. “Yes, My Lady.”

In fact, Dong Hui had noticed the two girls behind, but she was furious to have a heartache because the Leng Family had broken the appointment, so she didn’t want to interfere. After they got in the carriage, she asked, “What did you tell that girl to do?”

Shi Qingxue smiled and didn’t plan to hide it from her. “I told her to check in King Rui’s mansion.”

“You contact His Excellency again?” Dong Hui goggled. If Qingxue didn’t have such tender skin that red marks would be left after she pinched her, Dong Hui would want to grab this girl’s ear and call her heart back which was nowhere to be found.

“Mother!” Shi Qingxue noticed Dong Hui’s attitude and felt unhappy. She couldn’t help but call dispiritedly to show her resentment.

Dong Hui snorted. “Don’t call me mother. I tell you frankly. I don’t care who you love and will let you marry anybody as you wish, but it can’t be Mo Junyang. And in the future, I don’t allow you to contact him again. Do you understand?”

Shi Qingxue was dumbfounded and stared blankly at Dong Hui, at a loss what to do.

It was her first time since childhood to see Dong Hui so determined. She just prevented her from marrying Mo Junyang?

But why?

Qingxue frowned and looked at Dong Hui in confusion, asking anxiously, “What’s wrong with Junyang?”

Dong Hui paused for a while and scowled, responding, “He is not a good person.”
