Stop There, Daddy

“You know it better if I’m talking nonsense.” Wen Shuyue said blandly. She turned to Qin Weiwei and said, “I can design the dress for you. But I only design high-end formal attires, so my designs charge really high prices, 5 million yuan minimum.”

Without a doubt, it was a high price but good value, since it wasn’t anything pleasing for Wen Shuyue to design clothes for people like Qin Weiwei.

“What? How could it cost that much? Wen Shuyue, are you ripping us off?” Lu Yaoyao yelled at Wen directly, being too grumpy to hold her temper.

Her loud voice drew a large crowd around the reception room, but people got back to work soon after they took a glimpse of Wen Shuyue inside the room.

After all, unlike their former CEO, Wen Shuyue never gave her staff a second chance.

Wen Shuyue shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, “This is my quote. Accept it or leave it. I won’t force you.”

“Weiwei, she’s so…”

Lu Yaoyao went speechless with anger, and obviously didn’t expect that Wen Shuyue was more sharp-tongued than before.

“Yaoyao, never mind. Five million is not much. Let’s take it as doing charity.” Qin Weiwei comforted Lu Yaoyao, holding her hands. Qin then turned to Wen Shuyue and said, “I accept it. Take the measurement for me.”

“OK, no problem,” Wen Shuyue agreed instantly.

No one would refuse to earn money, from the enemy in particular.

Qin Weiwei misinterpreted that Wen Shuyue didn’t want to design the dress for her and tried to scare her away with the high price. So the moment Wen agreed, Qin was astonished and her heart ached once she thought of the money she had to pay.

When Qin Weiwei was being taken the measurement, she talked to Lu Yaoyao about how happy she was with Lu Junhan. At the beginning, Lu Yaoyao echoed her, but later she didn’t even believe what she was saying as Qin talked more. Probably Lu didn’t have the confidence to continue her lies.

“Yaoyao, what is it? You look weird today. What happened? Did your brother do anything wrong behind me?” Qin Weiwei was not a fool, and more or less, she could perceive something was wrong.

Those questions left Lu Yaoyao at a loss for words before she hesitated for a long time to smooth things over, “Well, I know nothing. Weiwei, stop asking me please.”

“No way, you don’t seem to know nothing. Yaoyao, come clean with me. Does your brother have an affair?” Qin Weiwei asked Lu Yaoyao, disregarding the presence of Wen Shuyue.

The most interesting part was about to come, which Wen Shuyue wasn’t foolish enough to skip.

Lu Yaoyao lowered her head speechlessly, which already indicated the truth to Qin Weiwei.

Immediately, the happy moment was ruined. Recalling what she had said just now, Qin Weiwei felt extremely embarrassed, as if she had slapped herself hard in the face. With anger overtaking her shame, she made a phone call to Lu Junhan directly.

“Weiwei, calm yourself down, OK? Let’s go back home to deal with it.” Feeling humiliated, Lu Yaoyao persuaded Qin Weiwei but failed.

No one answered the first call. When a woman answered the second one, Qin Weiwei was too angry to say anything and hung up the phone.

“Yaoyao, let’s go back home now. I have to know exactly what your brother is doing.” Qin Weiwei was very angry and about to leave, holding Lu Yaoyao.

But they were stopped by Wen Shuyue at the door.

Leaning against the door lazily, Wen Shuyue said drowsily, “Since the measurement is done, you need to pay the down payment now.”

“What down payment? I don’t want it now,” Qin Weiwei said, pulling a long face. Upon finishing her words, Qin Weiwei was about to leave but Wen Shuyue stopped her again.

What was worse, several security guards stood outside the door. Against heavy odds, Qin Weiwei and Lu Yaoyao couldn’t leave the room as they wished.

Wen Shuyue took a glance at the security guards and looked at Qin Weiwei and Lu Yaoyao condescendingly with her arms crossed in front of her chest. “How dare you lie to me if you can’t afford it? Do you think you can come and leave this place as if it was your home?

“What do you want?” Lu Yaoyao asked angrily.

“Nothing else, just pay the money since the measurement is done. You can afford 5 million yuan, can’t you? If you really can’t afford it, forget it. I’m generous to the beggar.”

Upon finishing her words, Wen Shuyue smiled at them gently, putting on an air of the Savior who would kindly offer them a dress for free.

Being insulted in the way they had insulted Wen Shuyue, Qin Weiwei and Lu Yaoyao looked resentful. But in the end, Qin Weiwei paid the down payment before they left.

Meanwhile, Lu Junhan was going to negotiate a contract with Wen Shuyue. He bumped into Qin Weiwei and Lu Yaoyao at the gate before he made a scene with Qin.

“Miss Wen, CEO of the Lu Group is at the gate. But he may be busy taking care of his family issue.” The secretary tried hard not to laugh but couldn’t help laughing a bit in the end.

With great interests, Wen Shuyue went out happily to watch the drama.

“Lu Junhan, be honest with me, do you cheat on me? Why did a woman answer the call for you?” Qin Weiwei kept asking Lu Junhan regardless of losing her dignity.

Gradually, Lu Junhan lost his patience and even nudged Qin Weiwei away directly.

He tidied his sleeves with a disgust expression on his face. “It’s none of your business. Just be a good wife and don’t care about what I do outside.”

“How can I not care about it? Are you really having an affair, Lu Junhan?” Qin Weiwei sounded unconfident and her face turned pale abruptly.

Many people gathered to watch the drama in a short time, including Wen Shuyue of course.

She came to watch them bickering since it didn’t cost a cent and she hated the two of them.

“Quite enjoying the show, huh, Miss Wen? But I’m sorry I have to interrupt you.”

A familiar charming voice suddenly came from the behind, which Wen Shuyue had got used to in the last few days.

Wen Shuyue was stunned a bit and turned round to look at He Siming. “If my memory serves me right, it’s not the day we’ve appointed to negotiate the project. So, Mr. He, what’s…”

“Right, it’s something else. Come with me.” He Siming took a glance at her and turned round to leave before Wen Shuyue said anything.

Wen Shuyue knew it well that He Siming was a man of resolution, but…

He was being too bossy this time, wasn’t he? At least, he should have waited for her answer.
