Chapter 557: Putting a Green Hat on Mr. Gu
He tossed the bread crab onto the plate in his hand: "Tch! I’m no fanboy, I don’t even care to know!"But Qin Sixue is Zhao Shu’s diehard fan. If she heard that her idol had won an international award, she’d definitely be overjoyed.
So annoying!
Finally, a rare moment to relax, and yet he’s thinking about that troublesome person?
Xi Nanfeng furiously grabbed his hair, successfully turning his handsome chestnut short hair into a bird’s nest.
Ji Wei had just put down her bowl when the phone on the table started vibrating.
Seeing the word "husband" displayed on the screen, her lips instinctively curved into a smile. She pressed the answer key: "Mo Qian."
"Have you had dinner?" Gu Moqian asked with concern.
Ji Wei glanced at the sumptuous spread on the table and replied, "I’m eating now. I’m with Second Young Master Xi and—"
Suddenly, her hand was empty.
By the time she realized what had happened, Xi Nanfeng had snatched her phone and was proudly speaking into it, showing off to Gu Moqian: "Old Mo, you’re still stuck at A City’s airport, right? You must be freezing, starving, and pitiful. Ah, what a pity! Not to brag, but your wife and I are having a seafood feast right now!"
Gu Moqian: "..."
"Huh? Why aren’t you responding? Don’t be too envious now. I’ll make sure to eat more for you. And since it’s your wife treating me, I definitely won’t feel guilty about it."
On the other end of the line, Gu Moqian’s face darkened as he gritted his teeth.
He truly wanted to storm over and shut that unfiltered mouth!
Gu Moqian managed to suppress the anger bubbling up inside him and spoke sinisterly: "Itching for trouble, aren’t you?"
"Oh, almost forgot to tell you, Old Ye is here too." Xi Nanfeng, entirely unfazed by his threat, continued to grin mischievously.
Ye Cheng’s face instantly turned a few shades darker.
Gu Moqian: "..."
"Your wife dining alone would’ve been so lonely. Thankfully, we’re here to keep her company."
"Oh, so I should thank you two good brothers properly?" Gu Moqian already felt the rising urge to strangle someone, his fists clenched tightly.
Seeing Xi Nanfeng’s words getting more off-track, Ji Wei quickly stepped forward to seize the phone.
"Mo Qian, don’t be angry. He’s just playing around with you."
"Come back immediately, I’ll send Old Xu to pick you up." On the other end, Gu Moqian’s voice was icy, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Ji Wei swallowed nervously, knowing this was not the time to argue. She obediently nodded: "Okay, I’ll come back."
Gu Moqian’s tone finally softened a little: "Hand the phone to Old Xi. I need to have a word with him."
Ji Wei complied, extending the phone toward Xi Nanfeng.
Xi Nanfeng took it with a puzzled look, sensing foreboding vibes...
"Old Mo, what do you want to say?"
On the other end, Gu Moqian was grinding his teeth audibly, his fury palpable even through the call: "As it happens, I met the chairman of the supercar championship, Luo Lun, at today’s banquet. Your qualification to compete has been withdrawn."
"No, Old Mo, I was wrong! I was wrong, okay? Isn’t that enough?"
Xi Nanfeng was an avid supercar enthusiast, never missing the annual competitions.
Gu Moqian had hit him right where it hurt!
Ji Wei looked at Xi Nanfeng’s frantic apologies with astonishment, puzzled by what Gu Moqian could have said to turn the previously cocky Second Young Master into a groveling mess.
"Here."
A few minutes later, Xi Nanfeng dejectedly returned the phone to Ji Wei, his expression so forlorn it seemed he was on the brink of tears.
Silently, Ji Wei lit a metaphorical candle for Second Young Master Xi in her heart. Official source ıs novęlfire.net
Ten minutes later, Old Xu arrived in his car.
Upon receiving the message, Ji Wei stood, "You two continue eating. I need to go now."
Ye Cheng rose too. "I’m leaving as well."
After hanging up the call, Xi Nanfeng had lost his appetite completely. Even the fresh seafood felt tasteless, as though he were chewing wax. He grumbled while standing up, "Let’s go back and sleep!"
Ji Wei prepared to take out her wallet to pay, but Ye Cheng stopped her, handing his golden card to the waiter before she could.
"Mr. Ye, isn’t this inappropriate? I invited you both to dinner..."
"It’s fine."
Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Ji Wei didn’t press further.
At this moment, a group of young girls passing by the private room took notice of them at the door.
"Huh, isn’t that Ji Family’s fake daughter? She’s actually having dinner with two hot guys, openly making Mr. Gu wear a green hat! Shameless! Such a promiscuous flirt!" one girl pointed at Ji Wei and scolded.
