Chapter 74: Is an Apology All There Is to It?

"Xiaoli, is this where you work?" As soon as Lin Dazhi stepped through the door, he smelled a rich fragrance and couldn't help but ask.

However, before Zhang Xiaoli could answer, Lin Dazhi saw the three members of the Zhou Family standing to the side with unpleasant expressions.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaojun had indeed called both his mother and his sister over, a look of mockery appeared on Lin Dazhi's face.

"Yo, Xiaojun, your mom and sister are here too? What is this, trying to get a family package deal?" Lin Dazhi teased.

"Lin Dazhi, stop interrupting! I'm asking you, last night on the phone you said it clearly: Lili invited you all to dinner because Bai Weiwei topped up a card, and you said you wouldn't bother Lili. You turn around and pull this stunt—Lin Dazhi, is your word just hot air?" Zhou Yue took the lead, stepping forward to point at Lin Dazhi's nose and curse.

Looking at the wide-eyed Zhou Yue, Lin Dazhi wasn't angry at all. He said with an innocent face, "Zhou Yue, don't just start spewing hot air. Do you even know what's going on before you start yapping? Zhang Xiaoli recommended I top up a card here for beauty treatments too. Is there something wrong with me trying it out first?"

"Pfft, Lin Dazhi, a grown man like you doing beauty treatments? Are you some old hag?" Zhou Yue said with a look of disdain.

"Who says men can't do beauty treatments? I have the money, and I'm happy to!" As Lin Dazhi said this, he turned to look at Luo Yufang and said, "You must be Sister Luo."

Luo Yufang, standing to the side, had been waiting for Lin Dazhi to speak. This was a wealthy big spender who had come to consume!

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Yes, yes, General Manager Lin. Oh my, when Weiwei was getting her facial here yesterday, she kept praising you, saying you were handsome and had a great physique, and that you were her Male God. At first, I didn't believe it, but seeing you today, I realize Weiwei was actually being modest..."

Luo Yufang knew how to flatter people; a few sentences made Lin Dazhi feel completely at ease. He immediately took out his phone and asked, "How much is your most expensive package?"

Seeing Lin Dazhi take out his phone and hearing him ask that, Luo Yufang's eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly said, "General Manager Lin, our best one is the same one Weiwei bought yesterday, but you could also top up a bit more; the more you top up, the more you get back."

"Fine, I get it. Let's start by topping up 200,000. In a moment, let Lili give me a full set so I can get a feel for it. If it's good, I'll top up more." Lin Dazhi said while taking out his phone to transfer the money.

"Hey, hey, hey, alright, alright, General Manager Lin. Don't you worry, Lili's technique is excellent; she will definitely satisfy you!" Hearing that Lin Dazhi wanted to top up 200,000 at once, Luo Yufang's old face crinkled into a smile like a chrysanthemum.

However, seeing this scene, the expressions of the mother and daughter, Zhou Yue and Xie Fenglan, became even uglier!

Especially Zhou Yue; seeing this, her heart ached with sharp stabs, and her face was almost distorted with jealousy!

"Good for you, Lin Dazhi. In the past, when I bought a few thousand yuan worth of cosmetics, you complained it was expensive. When it's your turn, you actually top up 200,000 for a beauty treatment. You have a little money and you don't know how to act anymore, right?" Zhou Yue gritted her teeth, glaring at Lin Dazhi as she questioned him.

"That's right, I have money, and I'm happy to act this way. Do you have an opinion, Comrade Ex-Wife who cheated during marriage?" Lin Dazhi asked with a smile, shaking the foldable phone in his hand.

"Lin Dazhi, you're not going to let this go, are you? We're both divorced; is there any point in you constantly bringing this up?" Zhou Yue screamed.

"That's right, we're both divorced. Where do you get the nerve to point fingers at me? What does me topping up money for beauty treatments have~to~do~with~you?" Lin Dazhi asked, enunciating every word.

"Spend your money however you want, as if anyone cares! Lin Dazhi, rest assured, even if I, Zhou Yue, were poor enough to beg for food, I wouldn't care about your petty cash! But you bothering Xiaojun's girlfriend—that has to do with me! Today, in front of Xiaojun and Xiaoli, Lin Dazhi, you must explain this clearly to me!" Zhou Yue said, refusing to back down.

"Fine, you want it explained clearly? Then let's talk about it properly."

Lin Dazhi crossed his arms and looked down at the three members of the Zhou Family, saying indifferently.

Once he became serious, his whole body exuded an invisible pressure that actually caused the three people, who were in the heat of anger, to falter.

"There was no need to explain anything to you people in the first place. Even if I did bother Zhang Xiaoli, so what? Is she married to Zhou Xiaojun? Some people are married and still fooling around outside; what nerve do they have to talk about others?"

Seeing that Zhou Yue was about to lash out again, Lin Dazhi glared at her and continued, "I'm preparing to invest in the research and development of beauty equipment and am experiencing the industry situation myself. Is that not allowed?"

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, Zhang Xiaoli also chimed in from the side, "That's right, Lin told me everything. He's experiencing the beauty projects for market research! Also, Zhou Xiaojun, I'll say it again: I am not your girlfriend; we are just ordinary friends! You said I spent over ten thousand of your money—didn't I transfer you twenty thousand last night? Please, stop harassing me in the future!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's words, Zhou Xiaojun became anxious and hurriedly said, "Lili, I was drunk last night. Don't be angry with me. Didn't I apologize to you? By the way, didn't you say you wanted to buy that Apple 16? Let's go buy it right now, right now!"

Xie Fenglan, standing to the side, felt very uncomfortable seeing her son acting so subserviently to apologize to Zhang Xiaoli, but she also knew her son treasured this young girl immensely, so she had to echo, "Exactly, Lili, you know Xiaojun has many friends outside and cares about his reputation. What he said to you was just out of anger; don't take it to heart!"

Hearing Xie Fenglan's words, Zhang Xiaoli said relentlessly, "Auntie, that's not how you put it! Zhou Xiaojun cares about his reputation, but don't I care about mine? Last night, in front of so many people, he said such nasty things and even claimed that I was doing this and that with Lin. Shouldn't I be angry?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Lili, everything you say is right. I've already scolded Xiaojun properly at home. I guarantee he will treat you well from now on. You two should just get along," Xie Fenglan said with a fawning smile.

"Lin Dazhi, if we're talking about this matter, you also have responsibility! You said Lili wanted to thank Bai Weiwei for the card and invited her to dinner; why did you have to join in? If you hadn't gone, this wouldn't have happened, right?" Seeing her mother and brother both apologizing to Zhang Xiaoli, Zhou Yue couldn't stand it and felt she should say something.

Moreover, in her heart, she just felt that Lin Dazhi had handled this matter incorrectly!

Hearing her words, Lin Dazhi couldn't help but find this cheap woman's unreasonable trouble-making amusing, but this was exactly what he was waiting for from Zhou Yue!

"Right, I didn't handle this matter very appropriately. I apologize to Xiaoli; if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been misunderstood by Xiaojun," Lin Dazhi said with a smile.

"Hmph, is an apology all there is to it?" Xie Fenglan said sarcastically from the side.

"Then what do you suggest should be done?" Lin Dazhi asked with a smile.

"Xiaoli has suffered such a great grievance; shouldn't you pay some mental damages? You're so rich that you don't even blink when topping up 200,000 for a beauty card for yourself; paying a few hundred thousand in mental damages wouldn't be excessive, would it?" Xie Fenglan argued with a sense of self-righteousness.
