Mo Bonan was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Yiqi.
“How did you get here?”
He didn’t remember sending her an invitation.
Zhang Yiqi’s face fell instantly when she saw the obvious disgust on his face.
“I’ve apologized to you already-”
“Have you apologized to Luo?” Mo Bonan cut her off directly.
Zhang Yiqi stiffened; her breath caught in her throat.
“You should apologize to Luo, not me,” Mo Bonan said in a cold voice. “Sorry, I have to go. Please excuse me.”
As a gentleman, he couldn’t lose his demeanor.
It was his birthday today, and he shouldn’t be wasting time on her.
Tears welled up in Zhang Yiqi’s eyes as she watched him leave.
He was being too much!
She had apologized to Mo Bonan already, but he did not accept her apology.
She had wanted to take this opportunity to talk things out with him, so they could put an end to the matter.
However, she hadn’t expected Mo Bonan to be so hard-headed!
“Qiqi?” Xia Qinghan came to her side and asked with concern.
At the brink of tears, Zhang Yiqi hugged Xia Qinghan in grievance.
Li Weiyun stared at the two of them with a rather cold expression.
She had come here with the intention of getting some interesting experiences, but it turned out that there was nothing interesting about this at all.
In just ten minutes or so, she had witnessed two “good plays.”
She didn’t have much liking for Zhang Yiqi to begin with, and her distaste only grew when she saw her weeping and sobbing over a man.
She looked down on women like that.
Xia Qinghan patted Zhang Yiqi on the shoulder, “Someone’s here.”
Startled, Zhang Yiqi let go of Xia Qinghan right away.
Zhong Xianjing walked up to them gracefully, asking, “You’re Ms. Zhang, right?”
That question instantly put an ear-to-ear grin on Zhang Yiqi’s face.
“Hi Auntie, you can just call me Qiqi.”
Her heart couldn’t help but race wildly. Did Auntie Mo strike up a conversation with her because she thought she was good for her son?
“Ms. Zhang,” Zhong Xianjing smiled, but without any humor in her eyes. “I’d better call you Ms. Zhang, since we’re not close.”
Zhang Yiqi’s smile froze. It was very awkward.
“I’ve heard about your misunderstanding with Luo.”
“That really was just a misunderstanding!” Zhang Yiqi’s face paled, and she hurriedly explained, “Someone was trying to defame me!”
“Yeah, it must have been a misunderstanding.” Zhong Xianjing smiled in an ambiguous way, “No big deal, bickering and arguments are common among youngsters.”
Zhang Yiqi’s expression changed subtly. She had a feeling that the conversation wasn’t heading in a pleasant direction.
“Ms. Zhang, you’re a good-looking and outstanding young lady, I believe you’ll find yourself an equally excellent partner. I wonder who will turn out to be the blessed guy?”
Zhang Yiqi’s face reddened, “Actually, Brother Bonan…”
“It’s a pity that our Bonan isn’t an excellent partner,” Zhong Xianjing carried on without inflection. “He’s bad-tempered, childish, and willful in doing things, often giving people around him a hard time. His dad and I are both worried about when he’ll find a partner.”
Zhang Yiqi wasn’t an idiot, her face quickly turned very pale.
Zhong Xianjing was rejecting her in a tactful way!
“Actually…”
“But it’s difficult for him to find a partner indeed. After all, no girls will like a wicked mother-in-law like me, right?”
“Auntie, you’re not wicked…” Zhang Yiqi’s lips twitched.
“Of course I am a wicked mother-in-law. If I’m not happy with the partner he decides on, I’ll throw her out of the house!” Zhong Xianjing threatened in a gentle manner. “Ah, I shouldn’t be saying things like that. My apologies, Ms. Zhang. We tend to nag when we get older.”
“Never…”
“Ah, someone’s calling me there. Have fun, you girls. I’ll go over.”
“Sure, have a good time.”
Mo Bonan was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Yiqi.
“How did you get here?”
He didn’t remember sending her an invitation.
Zhang Yiqi’s face fell instantly when she saw the obvious disgust on his face.
