Chapter 399: Chapter 392: Reaping What You Sow (Part 1)
At the bar, Luna ordered a Margarita, her favorite cocktail. The name was pleasant, the taste crisp, the glass beautiful. Most importantly, this was the drink adored by socialites and ladies, a must-have at social gatherings.
Luna slowly picked up her glass, sipping the drink delicately.
Occasionally, men passed by her, each one stopping for a brief moment before moving on.
She enjoyed the attention from men, the same way she met Leng Liewei. At that time, she had many suitors, but she chose Leng Liewei not because of Huamei International backing him, but because of his mature stability, unlike those fickle young men. Despite their significant age difference, it didnât affect their marital life.
Besides, despite his age, Leng Liewei was still vigorous in that aspect, even more robust than Lunaâs previous young boyfriends.
Thinking about this, Lunaâs body reacted involuntarily, her legs uncomfortable, crossing together. She was utterly disgusted with Qi Hui, who had called her out so late at night, otherwise, she might have been spending some time with Leng Liewei right now.
Bang!
A purse was thrown on the table roughly, and Luna looked up to see Qi Huiâs icy expression.
"I say, why are you so angry? Quickly, sit down!" Luna pushed another Margarita on the table towards her, "I ordered this for you."
Qi Hui glared at Luna, sat down forcefully, and grabbed the Margarita, draining it in one gulp.
"I say, take it slow, this drink is strong!" Luna said, calling the waiter over, "Another Margarita, please."
"Go ahead, tell me why you called me out?" Luna leaned back on the soft couch, holding her glass, looking utterly at ease.
Qi Hui, seeing her relaxed demeanor, got angry. The plan had been Lunaâs idea; she was merely executing it. Yet, when things went wrong, Luna not only offered no help but let her suffer in silence, dealing with it alone. And then, Luna ignored her completely!
"Donât look at me like that~" Luna said coolly, "Why do you think youâre still allowed to work at Huamei International? Itâs because I asked Old Leng, and he intervened on your behalf. After all, Leng Yichen is his son, and Huamei International is the empire Old Leng built up. When he steps in to retain someone, of course, Leng Yichen wouldnât object."
Grinding her teeth, Qi Hui thought Luna was shameless, she replied coldly, "Do you think just having a job can settle everything for me? Besides, this job was mine in the first place. Were it not for you, I wouldnât have fallen to this point, being mocked by colleagues behind my back, and under Leng Yichenâs disgusted gaze daily!"
"Ha, now you blame me?" Luna sneered, "Why donât you say itâs because youâre incompetent, unable to handle even such a simple task, and got tricked by Bai Yiran, such a simpleton."
"You!" Qi Hui wished she could tear away Lunaâs hypocritical smile, "Youâve wanted to use me from the get-go, now that Iâm worthless to you, you want to cast me aside! Where do you get off thinking itâs that easy for you? I was foolish not to expose you back then!"
Lunaâs eyes sparkled, a smile on her lips, "Come now, donât be angry, I didnât lie when I told you the Leng familyâs daughter-in-law wouldnât be Bai Yiran. One attempt failed but thereâs always a second chance, you just need to keep your composure, right?"
"How can I stay composed! Leng Yichen saw me with that despicable man that day!" Qi Huiâs face filled with humiliation.
"So what?" Luna looked indifferent, "Before marriage, who hasnât had a few men? I refuse to believe Bai Yiran was pure before marrying Leng Yichen. Donât worry, I have other plans, as long as youâre willing to cooperate with me!"
