Chapter 154: Oh, I, the grandaunt, can afford to eat a hundred meals!

~7 min read 1,302 words

It only took a few words.

Wang Yingna felt inferior.

Her powder addiction became the stain she could never hold her head up over in this life.

The most infuriating thing is that the woman across from her is also a Maozi.

A Maozi who specializes in catching powder dealers.

If it weren't for Wang Yingna having successfully quit powder now.

God knows what state she'd be dragged down to by the other side.

Wang Yingna clenched her fists in anger.

Her breathing became hurried.

Li Jiaci saw this, hurried over and advised: "As a Maozi, reminding you a few words is for your own good!"

"Can a Maozi look down on people?"

"Which of her words is for my benefit?"

"This is clearly not trusting me, is it?"

Wang Yingna was at the peak of her anger.

How could she listen to Li Jiaci?

Li Jiaci snorted and said: "Wasn't it you who started provoking her? If you can't win the argument, you get hot-headed; if you have the spite, just retort directly!"

"You think I don't want to retort?"

"I… isn't it that I was wrong first?"

"I only did this one wrong thing, and she's caught hold of it and won't let go!"

"She's dragging me down with all her might!"

Wang Yingna kicked the table leg.

The noise made Liu Yanxi frown.

She asked the two: "What are you muttering about me?"

Wang Yingna glanced coldly at her, saying nothing.

Li Jiaci then said: "Nothing much, I scolded her for ordering too many dishes, and she's a bit unhappy!"

"Since I'm the host, you should order as much as you like!"

"As long as you eat happily, that's fine!"

Liu Yanxi didn't take it to heart.

The waiter pushed open the private room's door.

They successively brought the ordered dishes to the table.

Liu Yanxi raised her hand and said: "Eat while it's hot!"

"Mm, Nana, these are all your favorites, eat more!"

Li Jiaci gave Wang Yingna a way out.

Fortunately, this guy is also sensible.

He didn't continue to be sulky.

At that moment, Liu Yanxi stood up, walked to Li Jiaci's side, picked up the chopsticks nearby, and clipped some vegetables for him.

"Your hand is inconvenient; tell me what dishes you like, and I'll clip them over for you!"

Li Jiaci smiled: "Having Liu Team help me clip vegetables—if this gets out, I'll have plenty of face!"

Liu Yanxi humbly shook her head.

"What am I as a team leader? I just have a bit more work experience than them!"

"Today I've shown my timidity in front of you!"

"I've made you laugh at me!"

Li Jiaci doesn't think he's seen her joke.

Managing such a big bunch of people—how easy could that be?

He deeply feels that.

If his subordinates make a mistake,

those of us who are bosses also can't escape responsibility.

This is joint liability.

It can't be shaken off.

Li Jiaci's injury is his right hand.

It's inconvenient to hold chopsticks.

Liu Yanxi then brought over a spoon and moved a stool to his side.

Wang Yingna saw this scene and couldn't help feeling a surge of tension.

"Jiaci bro, I can feed you—no need to trouble Liu Team Leader!"

Before Li Jiaci could reply,

Liu Yanxi immediately said with a smile: "I owe him a favor; helping him with something makes me feel better inside!"

"What a coincidence, right?"

"I also owe him a favor!"

Wang Yingna ladled a bowl of soup, scooping up the bones inside, and said.

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Li Jiaci in the middle.

I don't know if Wang Yingna was just too anxious or what, but as she held the bowl her hand suddenly shook and she spilled the soup onto Li Jiaci's pants.

Liu Yanxi frowned, turned, took a napkin and wiped Li Jiaci.

"I say, little girl, you should let your Jiaci brother relax a bit!"

"What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning, you don't understand?"

"Jiaci brother, you tell me, who should help you pick vegetables?"

Wang Yingna turned her head to look at Li Jiaci.

At the same time, Liu Yanxi was waiting for his response.

These two women.

Nobody can afford to offend them.

Otherwise, this meal can't be eaten.

Li Jiaci didn't reply, but instead picked up the spoon with his left hand and scooped a mouthful of soup to drink.

Liu Yanxi handed over the napkin, saying: "Don't push yourself!"

"Heh."

"Just don't push me, you two!"

Li Jiaci teased.

Hearing that, Liu Yanxi also laughed, lowering her head and saying: "Actually I should have treated you to a meal long ago; we can consider ourselves acquainted after a fight."

"That's for sure."

"Now that you've been promoted to Liu Team, we should keep in touch!"

"My rundown factory still needs your support!"

"If anything comes up, I'll go straight to you to get it sorted!"

Li Jiaci had just finished speaking.

Wang Yingna got angry and put down her bowl.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"You two have a good relationship!"

"You might as well just get together!"

Liu Yanxi pursed her lips.

Then she let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh."

"I didn't mean it that way!"

Wang Yingna raised a hand and cut off her further words.

"I'm going to the restroom; you two keep chatting."

Having said that, she got up and walked out.

Liu Yanxi awkwardly asked: "Jiaci, should I explain things to her?"

"No need."

Li Jiaci understood Wang Yingna's temper.

That's just a gust of wind.

Once it blows over, it'll be fine.

This meal left all three feeling less than pleased.

When leaving, Li Jiaci had the waiter pack up the leftover dishes.

They arrived the day before.

Liu Yanxi took out her wallet, ready to pay.

Li Jiaci said: "Let me take care of it!"

"How can that be?"

"We agreed, I'm treating you to a meal!"

"You go wait outside first!"

Liu Yanxi disagreed.

At that moment, the front desk girl glanced at Wang Yingna and said with a smile: "You two don't need to pay; Miss Wang has already paid the bill!"

"Huh?"

Liu Yanxi turned around and looked at Wang Yingna.

Even Li Jiaci didn't expect that this guy would sneakily have paid the bill.

"Nana, I'll have Xiao Alán reimburse you for this meal when I get back!"

Wang Yingna gave a light hum, crossed her arms arrogantly and said: "Do we need to reimburse such a petty sum? This lady can afford a hundred meals!"

That's actually true.

Liu Yanxi tugged at the corner of her mouth, suppressing a smile.

"As for reimbursement, let me handle it!"

"You help me catch the suspect; this is a big deal, I can't just do nothing!"

"Just let Director Zhao know, and he'll surely sign the reimbursement form!"

Wang Yingna let out another light hum and said: "Captain Liu, as I said, no need—these dishes were what I ordered, so it's only natural for me to pay!"

While the two hadn't yet started arguing.

Li Jiaci hurriedly grabbed Wang Yingna and urged, "Take the packed food to the car first, otherwise it'll get cold soon!"

Got it!

Wang Yingna said unwillingly.

She took the two bags handed by the waiter, turned and walked out of the Spring Happiness Restaurant.

Liu Yanxi smiled helplessly.

"Next time I'll find an opportunity to treat you to a meal alone!"

Li Jiaci also laughed, "I appreciate the thought!"

Well then...

Liu Yanxi lowered her head and rubbed her hands awkwardly.

Li Jiaci greeted her and then hurriedly got into the car.

The elder in the car is still angry.

Have you two finished chatting?

When did you agree to meet again?

Wang Yingna asked sourly.
