Chapter 30 : Patron, Please Keep Me 10 (2/2)

Xi Mo lowered his voice, “Jiang Wan, have you forgotten what you promised me?”

Shi Sheng feigned ignorance, “What did I promise President Xi?”

The one who made the promise was Jiang Wan. Besides, Xi Mo had half-coerced her into it with threats. Shi Sheng didn’t believe that Xi Mo dared to say it out in front of such an audience.

“Wan’er, I was late because I had some matters to take care of at the company. Don’t be upset.” Xi Mo suddenly softened his tone. “Come over here first. Don’t forsake your future for the sake of a moment’s anger.”

‘Holy fuck, you actually dared to THREATEN me!’

Xi Mo was the cold-blooded type. Aside from Xia Man, he could use anyone.

No, he even used Xia Man, although the extent was very little.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Sheng spoke with a smile on her face, “President Xi and I are merely an employer and employee. Instead of explaining the reason for being late to me, you should be explaining to your fiancée.”

Xi Mo’s fiancée was the woman who had been slapped just now, Xia Xuan. She was the daughter of Xia Man’s father and his previous wife. She was also the target of Jiang Wan’s vengeance.

With the Xia family as her backing, Xia Xuan had made quite a name for herself in the circle; She was currently a first ranked celebrity.

Hearing Shi Sheng mention Xia Xuan, Xi Mo laughed coldly inwardly. He just treated it as Shi Sheng throwing a tantrum because she knew about his fiancée.

Thinking thus, Xi Mo’s face softened a bit more. “Our engagement was simply decided on by our elders but my heart only has you. Wan’er, come over here first.”

“President Xi, I believe I’ve made myself very clear already. You’re a CEO, you don’t have to make things tough on your employee, right?”

Xi Mo nearly broke his own teeth with how hard he was clenching them. ‘Humph, you still know I’m the CEO? Then you still dare to defy me? I had thought this woman was one of the ones who knew their own limit but now I see that she’s just as greedy as the rest of them.’

“Jiang Wan, very good.” Xi Mo’s face darkened as he stopped pretending. He had already given her enough face just now but she hadn’t known when to stop.

“Thanks for President Xi’s praise.”

Xi Mo clenched his fists, his gaze dark. ‘Jiang Wan, if I can make you then I can break you. I want to see how you’ll beg me then.’

As they were already starting to attract attention from the surrounding onlookers just by standing there, Xi Mo coldly humphed before heading for the party, just leaving Xia Man there. He knew this wasn’t a good place to talk.

“Ah Mo, wait for me.” Xia Xuan raised her skirt as she chased after him, not forgetting to shoot a glare at Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘That fellow already hit you and you still chased after him? Are you a fucking masochist?!’

Xia Man remained standing there the entire time. From the bitterness of seeing Xi Mo with another woman, to confusion before straight out being stunned stupid. ‘What’s going on? Xi Mo was spurned?’

However, upon seeing Lu Qingyun’s face, Xia Man suddenly felt like it wasn’t so strange.

Shi Sheng raised her brow as she looked at Xia Man. ‘The female lead this time is rather normal.’

[1] As you might have guess, it means something like one true love. Though most of the time it’s not reciprocated or there’s no one there to reciprocate it anymore.
