Because Edith was going to introduce her boyfriend, she decided to change the venue and chose to have a meal at a Cantonese restaurant and opt for a private room.

Aaron grew anxious as they were waiting for her boyfriend to show up. There were a lot of questions in his mind and Edith would not answer them until her boyfriend showed up. Aaron could not be at ease until he saw the person he was supposed to see.

His legs shook impatiently under the table and Aaron would glance at the door from time to time. "Are you sure he's coming?"

"He should be here anytime soon. You must remember not to speak nonsense or I will beat you later," Edith said. "Anyway, why are you so anxious?"

"I just wanted to see which innocent man did you trick to be your boyfriend," Aaron spoke exasperatedly. He was very worried about this girl upon hearing that she and her boyfriend have started to live together months ago, and yet, this girl was treating him like he was the enemy.

His body froze upon hearing the knock on the door. Aaron clenched his fist and turned to the door. 

A waiter in his uniform walked in to hold the door and a familiar figure entered the room. Before Aaron was able to speak a word, he heard his friend's cheering voice, uttering that endearing terms again.

His eyes grew wide and Aaron could not hide his surprise upon watching how Edith had gone towards that man's side and held his hand before the two walked over to him together.

Aaron thought that perhaps his eyes were playing tricks on him. The person in front of him at this moment, was he not Neil Mo? The President of MH Group? That prominent group in L City and one of the largest property and development companies in the country?

Why was he here and why was Edith holding on to his hand?

The two of them finally stopped in front of Aaron. Edith flashed him a bright smile and spoke, "Aaron, meet my boyfriend, Neil Mo. Oh, wait. You've met him before." 

Neil flashed him an amiable smile and stretched his hand. "Mr. Li, Hello."

Aaron snapped out of his trance and shook hands with Neil. Though he had met Neil Mo a few times previously, this was the first time he was anxious to be around him.

His mind whirled and quickly connected a few dots. 

Edith had said that she has been living together with her boyfriend for four months. 

Then… the last time they had 'accidentally' run into this man, the two of them should already be in a relationship. When he left with those grandpas to return to Z Town, Neil had stayed around to wait with Edith until her friend, Lily Zhou showed up.

According to logic, someone as busy as President Mo should have left earlier as soon as dinner ended, but he had stayed around because Edith was drunk.

After Lily showed up, Aaron had left. Therefore, he would not know whether Edith would crash over at Lily's place or go back with President Mo to his place.

If she went back to President Mo's place, then, doesn't that make Lily Zhao an accomplice? 

Aaron suddenly recalled the last time he had drive Edith over to a luxurious apartment in L City. Edith had said that the place belonged to a friend, but Aaron knew now that the luxurious apartment belonged to President Mo.

How could Edith trick him like this? Aaron really wanted to curse and scold this girl.

"Mr. Li, please, have a seat," Neil said. "We can talk while we eat."

Aaron nodded. He watched as the couple sat side by side just across from him and thought that this scene was a little strange. 

This girl was too violent and would hit people whenever she was upset. She would not care whether that person was a boy or a girl, if someone made her upset, Edith would beat that person they cry. And her kicks and punches were not light either.

The last time he had said something wrong, Edith had swung her punch to his arms and that bruise lasted for a week.

How can someone like this dated President Mo? Was President Mo blind? Or was he a masochist?

Of course, if Edith knew what was on her friend's mind, Aaron would have to suffer another round of beating.

The waiter walked into the room carrying various delicacies. The aroma of delicious food wafted in the room. The food presentation was exquisite and colorful. The taste of each dish was very light and fragrant. However, Aaron thought that he was too full from eating too much dog food.

Now that the secret was out, Edith was not ashamed to act frivolously with her boyfriend in front of him. The two of them were clearly flirting as if he was an invisible man!

It turns out that this violent lady could act gently when she was with her boyfriend. She was not like this in the past!

Aaron was tempted to take out his phone, record this scene secretly, and send the footage to Grandpa Qian. He did not mind suffering some beating, but he was a little afraid to offend President Mo.

The three of them continued to have small talk while they were enjoying their meals. Though Aaron had a lot of questions for both of them, he did not dare to ask them straightforwardly and chose to eat in silence.

He took this chance to observe the two's relationship and found that their relationship was pretty good. At least, in front of him, Neil Mo had treated Edith well.

After having a little too much tea, Edith stood up and excused herself to the restroom. 

Once the door closed after her, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned stiff. 

Neil placed the chopstick in his hand down and reached to drink some water. He then raised his head to Aaron. "Mr. Li, from the way you have been staring at me throughout the meal, I assumed that you have a few things that you wanted to say to me."

Aaron chuckled. "You are right. I do have a few things I would like to say. Now that Edith is not in the room, I hope you would not mind me asking a few questions."

Neil gestured with his hand. "Please. I will try to answer them the best that I can."

He narrowed his eyes and his gaze turned dangerous. The way Aaron was looking at Neil at this moment was the same as the way he was looking at the criminal while he was interrogating them. "Do you like Edith? Or were you using her adoration towards you like something to pass your time?"

Neil stared at Aaron as if he was scrutinizing his enemy.. Then he flashed Aaron a smile that does not reach his eyes."I'm not sure which identity are you using to ask these questions? As Edith's friend? Or something else?"
