Chapter 420 Suffering Because You Want Face
Qiu Cha wanted nothing more than to rip that woman apart. This woman was too much. If it weren’t for Lan Anran, she would have rushed up and slapped her.
“Qiu Cha? So you’re Qiu Cha. I especially like your works. Ever since you became famous, I have been chasing after your works. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any of them each time. I only managed to get one from the Deep Girl Series. That dress was especially beautiful and I still have it in my closet, as I’m unwilling to wear it.
Can you give me a few pieces for free? I don’t mind if it isn’t free; can I get you to customize a few pieces?”
Chen Xiao’s expression immediately changed as she stood up with a smile.
When she heard that she was a fan, Qiu Cha found it hard to accept. The Deep Girl series was her most satisfactory work, but she didn’t expect it to be bought by this woman. It was such a shame, but she straightened her back at the thought.
“Sorry, I’m currently employed by someone else and have signed a contract. All my works will be dedicated to the Mo Corporation and I can’t take on private work alone. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill your wish,” Qiu Cha
said.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s expression dimmed, feeling a little disappointed, but her smile quickly came back.
“If you really can’t, just say that you made it for yourself and give it to me. Don’t worry, I have money and my dad is president of a bank, how can I not have money?” Chen Xiao said.
“Miss Chen, since your father is the president of a bank, why did you leave him and come out alone?” Lan Anran smiled and said.
“It’s not convenient for me to tell you. If Jinrong mentioned me to you, he would have told you why I came out.” Chen Xiao stood up with a smile.
“It’s getting late, I know a Chinese restaurant that is newly opened nearby. Why don’t we try it together? I’ve been abroad for a long time and I haven’t had Chinese food in a long time,” Chen Xiao said.
Lan Anran and Qiu Cha looked at each other and walked out.
The three of them arrived at a Chinese restaurant and attracted a lot of attention the moment they entered.
Chen Xiao was very confident. Thinking that everyone was looking at her, so she smiled at everyone.
Lan Anran and Qiu Cha seemed to have received a lot of attention.
“Anran, are these people looking at you? I can’t believe that you can still attract so much attention even though you’re already a married woman.” Qiu Cha quipped.
“Don’t tease me, can’t you see that someone in front is gloating?” Lan Anran pointed to Chen Xiao and said.
“Some people like to be arrogant,” Qiu Cha muttered.
The three of them found a table and sat down, casually picking up the menu.
Chen Xiao looked at the price and felt a little scared.
Her father was the president of a bank, but because she had escaped, her father had frozen her money and she didn’t have much money on hand. She chose this Chinese restaurant because she thought Chinese food was cheap. She didn’t expect it to be so expensive, even a pot of tea cost more than three hundred yuan.
Lan Anran saw through her thoughts and smiled.
“Miss Chen, is it too expensive? But surely the president of a bank’s daughter can afford the food here?”
Chen Xiao looked troubled, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
“Who said I can’t afford the food here? It’s just that I don’t like the food here. Order whatever you want, it’s my treat.”
She was a prestigious young lady, how could she endure such a humiliation?
“Then, Miss Chen, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Qiu Cha took the menu and ordered three dishes on each page. Chen Xiao looked at her and felt her heart ache, but she couldn’t stop her.
“Miss Qiu, you ordered so much, can you finish it?” Chen Xiao smiled wryly.
“If I can’t finish it, I can take it away and give it to my colleagues. Anyway, Miss Chen is rich, right?” Qiu Cha said.
“Get me another mango pudding, the most expensive pizza, three cups of coffee, and two pieces of black forest cake.”
Lan Anran saw that Chen Xiao’s face had darkened. She estimated that the meal would cost three to four thousand yuan, but since the other party said that she was the daughter of the president of a bank, she definitely could afford it.
“Qiu Cha, Miss Chen is Jinrong’s savior,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
“Really? In that case, I’ll have to thank you today. I ordered so many dishes as a form of repayment for saving his life. If it weren’t for you, Anran wouldn’t have been able to meet Jinrong,” Qiu Cha said.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, still thinking about what to do later.
She only had about a thousand yuan in her pocket, so how could she have come up with three to four thousand yuan?
She had never felt frustrated about money before, but now, she knew the troubles one had without money.
Chen Xiao lowered her head and kept scrolling through her phone, wanting to borrow some money from her rich friends.
But those people were distancing themselves from her as if they were running for their lives. It wasn’t that they didn’t have money, it was just that their parents were strict and they didn’t want to lend money.
She didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of these two women, so she had to force herself to finish the meal.
“Miss Lan, are you and Jinrong married because of love? From what I know, Jinrong never gets close to women and he almost died three years ago. I specifically asked around and found out that you and Jinrong are engaged in an arranged marriage. This is the first time I’ve seen such a marriage and I think it’s a little childish,” Chen Xiao said.
“Coincidentally, we didn’t reject each other because of the engagement made by our parents. On the contrary, we became even more loving. Jinrong even told me that we are going for a trip after he comes back from his business trip. It seems like we’re going to a foreign resort island. I’m really looking forward to it,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Chen Xiao kept pinching her fingers. This woman was too wicked, she couldn’t understand why Mo Jinrong would like her.
“Anran, I’m so envious of you for having a good husband, unlike me who is still single,” Qiu Cha said.
“Qiu Cha, I heard that you and Zhao Han…”
“We are just good friends. He tried very hard to pursue me, but I didn’t agree. You know that I’m celibate[1], so how could I accept his request? I can eat and drink alone, so why should I suffer the frustrations from another person when I get into a relationship?
I can’t compare to you, who has such a good husband. I think it’s better to live alone,” Qiu Cha said.
“That’s true, my relationship with Jinrong isn’t something others can achieve. Don’t you agree, Miss Chen?” Lan Anran deliberately talked to her.
She saw that Chen Xiao was here to challenge her, so why should she be polite?
“I envy you, but I’m in trouble now. Jinrong took me in and let me stay in a hotel, but a hotel isn’t as comfortable as a house. I just wanted Jinrong to make room for me in his house today. I prefer the feeling of having a home, it’s too cold in a hotel.” Chen Xiao spoke deliberately.
