“Stop!” Seeing that she was leaving, the lady stomped her feet, pulling the man next to her. “Hubby, I want the ring.”
The old man beside her seemed not to have heard her. His face turned pale as he stared at the elegant man in fright.
It was as if he had seen a ghost!
Why would Young Master Li be here?!
“Honey, don’t tell me you are allowing them to bully me? I want that ring! Get it for me.” The lady was angry and anxious, she kept urging her husband to get the ring for her.
Li Beijue finally saw the old man next to her. He pulled Chi Enen along with him and walked to stand in front of the man, curling his lips as if he was smiling. “Director Huang?”
“Y-young Master Li.” The old man who acted arrogantly just now twitched his mouth, anxious to shrug off the woman who was pestering him. Beads of perspiration could be seen on his forehead. He bent forward and had a flattered smile on his face. “I didn’t know that this lady is Young Master Li’s acquaintance. Please don’t take it to heart if I have offended you.”
How could he be so unlucky? He brought his lover to the Ryukyu Islands for fun and yet he encountered such an important figure here.
He was even more unlucky to have provoked him.
His legs turned weak as he was reminded of the rumors of Master Jue’s nasty temper.
“I don’t remember you having offended me.” The tone sounded very cold and aloof.
The old man was after all, the director of a large company, he was still quite tactful. He quickly came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Chi Enen. He could not be bothered to maintain his dignity, plastering a flattering smile on his face. “Miss, it’s my fault for failing to recognize a formidable person like you. I am very sorry for offending you just now.”
“Do you like rings? I have a tourmaline pinky ring at home. If you like it, I will send someone to bring it to you as soon as I return to Lin City.”
He had just finished his sentence when his lover who stood next to him exclaimed, “Hubby, why do you give her a gift and apologize to her? Didn’t you promise to give the pinky ring to me?”
“Shut up!” The fat man kept wiping his perspiration, pushing her away. “Go to that side!”
In the blink of an eye, he changed his expression and looked apologetically toward Chi Enen, with a flattering smile on his face. “Please ignore her. If you like, as soon as I return to Lin City… No… if you are interested, I will get someone to have the ring flown in right now.”
“Hubby, I don’t agree! That’s my ring. You said that it’s for me. Why did you give it to her?” The lover was furious and she kept yelling.
There was a flash of anger in Li Beijue’s jet black eyes. It rested on the man’s face. “My woman doesn’t have the habit of wearing second-hand goods. Keep the ring.”
With that, he pulled Chi Enen along with him.
Huang Yaozu could feel the chills behind his back. He caught up with them automatically. “Young Master Li, please listen to my explanation…”
His lover did not know what was happening. She pouted her lips and cursed in a low voice, “Stop pretending and treating the woman like a treasure. I don’t believe that she hasn’t used a second-hand good!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, the fat old man yelled at her.
“Shut up!”
Since he doted on her, his lover could always get what she wanted. This was the first time that he yelled at her and it was in public. She pouted her lips, feeling indignant. “I am stating a fact. I am not in the wrong. If she is so rich, why did she shop at a roadside stall?”
“You!” The man trembled in anger. He had no idea if Chi Enen was rich or not but the man next to her had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation and had immense power and huge influence!
He felt pissed and anxious at the thought that he had offended him. He turned toward his lover with red angry eyes and gave her a tight slap on her face. “Brainless fool. You have landed me in serious trouble. Scram!”
The lover was stunned after being slapped in the face. She covered her face, and her large eyes teared up as she looked at him with sorrowful eyes. “Hubby, why did you slap me?”
“Who is your hubby? I have nothing to do with you now.” With that, he turned and left.
The lover was in a panic, she cried as she hurried to catch up with him.
