Chapter 275: Giving a tight face slap
“How dare you call me stupid!? And you are saying that I’m a negative influence on my baby?” Long Yanmei was infuriated.
“Yes.”
Nana then ignored her and took out her card. This was the money she earned from Natsukashi, and Jinhai had given a special card for it.
Long Yanmei widened her eyes in shock.
It was a premium platinum card.
‘She is just a pathetic chef. How does she have a platinum card? Even I don’t have that!’
She sneered. “Does it even have money in it? Or it’s just for show?”
*Ding*
The assistant printed the receipt of her bill as she swiped the card.
Her face contorted, showing an ugly expression.
Nana smiled. “Yes, it does have my hard-earned money.”
It was indirectly a taunt that she was living off and flaunting her husband’s money without doing anything.
“You…” Long Yanmei clenched her fingers.
“Heh! Is it really your money? Perhaps you have a sugar daddy whose this card must belong to. Then…” She looked down at her belly. “Maybe your child too…”
Nana’s gaze turned cold. “Don’t dare to complete that sentence.”
Long Yanmei laughed. “Stepped on your tail? It can be possible since your husband is a poor, good-for-nothing gofer? You may have found a fat, ugly CEO to warm his bed in exchange for that card.”
“Did you just call Liu Jinhai a poor, good-for-nothing gofer?” A dark, cold voice came from behind.
Long Yanmei was startled, and she looked behind. Her eyeballs came out of her sockets as she saw Jinhai coming.
How could she not recognize him?
“Mr. L-Liu?”
Jinhai stood beside Nana. He kissed her cheek. “Sorry for coming late.”
Nana shook her head. “It’s okay.”
“Did she trouble you?”
“I didn’t bother with her, so how can she trouble me?”
Long Yanmei was looking at them dumbfounded.
‘Liu Jinhai kissed that woman…How is that possible?’
Jinhai shot a cold glance at her. She stiffened.
He smiled. “Well, well, isn’t it, Mrs. Long? Nice to meet you.”
Long Yanmei stood frozen. It was the first time she saw Liu Jinhai in person. Even Long Guozhi had never got the chance to meet him.
“G-good to see you too, Mr. Liu.”
She was sweating hard. She had no idea that Nana was Mrs. Liu!
“Oh, I think I heard you called Nana’s husband as a poor, good-for-nothing gofer. I didn’t know that running a multi-billionaire corporation was considered poor in your eyes. Is the CEO’s work called as good-for-nothing now? Sadly, I am behind the trend.”
The color drained from her face.
‘He heard everything!’
“No! Mr. Liu. It’s a misunderstanding-” She anxiously tried to explain.
“How? Nana is indeed warming a CEO’s bed. Actually, I’m warming her bed too. We would since we are married. But how am I a fat, ugly CEO in any sense? Clearly, you have problems in your vision.”
Nana was finding it hard holding in her laughter.
Long Yanmei’s face turned red in embarrassment.
She called the Godly handsome Liu Jinhai, fat and ugly?
‘How did the situation take this turn!? This bitch. She purposely didn’t tell me about him to embarrass me! If Guozhi came to know about this, then I’m dead! He was even trying to contact Liu Jinhai for so long!’
“Of course not, Mr. Liu! How can I say that to you? I-I didn’t know that you were her husband. It’s really a misunderstanding.”
She looked at Nana. “Mrs. Liu, I truly had no idea about your identity. That is not right. You should have told me sooner. But you saw making me a fool out of myself and did nothing.” She made an expression as if she was wronged.
Nana raised her eyebrow.
Long Yanmei pitifully looked at Jinhai. “Mr. Liu, if your wife had told me about you, then how could I have said those words? She denied about you.”
“When did I do that?”
“Mrs. Liu, don’t act innocent. You said that your husband is not rich.”
Nana smiled. “No. I said, ‘What if I’m not a rich man’s wife?’ I wasn’t definite. You went on and assumed that my husband must be poor.”
Long Yanmei widened her eyes. She gritted her teeth.
‘She played with the words!’
“But, your tone suggested otherwise.”
Nana shrugged. “I wasn’t implying anything. I was merely asking you a question. I’m not responsible for what you make out of my tone.”
“You-“
“Yanmei.”
Long Guozhi looked at Jinhai. He was utterly taken aback. He never thought that he would meet him here of all places. He couldn’t hide his excitement. He was trying for months to contact him. And now he had submitted his proposal for a deal. If he wins it, then Long Industries could get a partnership with the Liu Corps.
“Mr. Liu Jinhai! How are you? I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Jinhai looked at Long Yanmei. She stepped back a little with his sharp gaze.
‘Oh no, what should I do now?’
She clenched her fingers into a fist as she glowered at Nana.
‘How dare she mess with me!’
“My wife and I are buying a crib for our baby.”
Long Guozhi was ecstatic. ‘Yanmei must have definitely formed a good relationship with Mrs. Liu. She finally did something useful!’
“What a coincidence! Yanmei and I came here for the same. How about we shop together?” He was sure that Jinhai would agree since Long Yanmei had got them into Nana’s good books.
‘This will strengthen our relationship with the Liu family!’
Jinhai chuckled, “Together? But how will we do that if your wife grabs everything for herself, for example, how she took the baby crib for herself that my wife chose first.”
Long Guozhi widened his eyes. “What?” He glared at her.
Long Yanmei panicked. “No! I-I just liked the crib, so I asked Mrs. Liu if I could have it.”
The assistant said, “No. Mrs. Liu chose this crib, but your wife forcefully came and ordered to pack it for her. I tried to explain that it is already taken, but she wasn’t ready to listen. Then she started insulting Mrs. Liu…”
Long Guozhi’s expression turned darker and darker as he heard everything.
“Yanmei! How could you do that!?” He yelled.
He really wished to give a tight slap to her at that moment.
‘She even accused Mrs. Liu of having an affair! How stupid can you get! She has Liu Jinhai as her husband. Only a stupid woman would want another man!’
“Guozhi,” Long Yanmei cried, “Mrs. Liu didn’t clear herself about her identity. How is it my fault?”
“Shut up! You insult her and Mr. Liu Jinhai, and you got the nerve to blame her for that!”
Nana asked, “I already said that what you interpret is none of my concern. So, does that mean if I was really a poor man’s wife, then it was alright for you to insult me?”
Long Yanmei was stumped.
“Mrs. Liu, it was all just a misunderstanding. Why are you still not letting it go?” Which implied that Nana was petty.
“Yanmei!”
‘She is making things worse!’
Jinhai tilted his head. “Right. We should let it go…”
Long Yanmei inwardly jumped in happiness.
‘Heh! Doesn’t look like this slut matters to Liu Jinhai.’
“Did you see Guozhi?” She smiled. “Everything is fine now-“
“And Long Guozhi’s business proposal too.” Jinhai cut her off mid-sentence.
Both froze.
Long Yanmei looked at him, horrified. Long Guozhi said, “Mr. Liu,” He was now sweating hard, “I apologize on behalf of her. Yanmei! What are you standing for! Apologize to Mrs. Liu!”
‘I cannot afford to lose this deal!’
‘I apologize to this, bitch?’ Long Yanmei gritted her teeth.
She looked at Guozhi with her big, tearful eyes. “Guozhi, how can I…”
“Shut up!”
Jinhai smiled. “Wasn’t my wife being petty? So, I’m letting this matter go on her behalf. We should leave now. She has already bought the ‘other’ crib.” He emphasized ‘other.’
Yanmei clearly felt the taunt directed at her.
“No, wait, Mr. Liu!” He tried to stop him. “Yanmei, if you don’t apologize right now, then be ready to pack your bags and leave the Long villa!”
Long Yanmei was at a loss of words. “Guozhi…How could you? I’m pregnant. How can you tell me to leave?” She cried.
By now, it had turned into a full-on commotion. The other pregnant women who came for shopping also heard everything. They murmured.
“Seriously, she started it and now refuses to apologize.”
“So arrogant!”
“She was the one who barged in and snatched the crib. How shameless.”
Long Yanmei’s face was livid and red with shame.
‘I will never apologize!’
Then she clutched her belly. “Ah…Guozhi…it hurts…Our baby…Take me to the hospital…”
Jinhai chuckled. “Apparently, your wife is in pain, Mr. Long. You tend to her while we should leave.”
Long Guozhi angrily scowled at her. “Go by yourself!”
Yanmei couldn’t believe his words, and more tears came rolling out. “Guozhi…How can you be so heartless!”
“Mr. Liu we can talk-“
As Jinhai and Nana were stepping out, Nana stopped. She looked at Yanmei. “Mrs. Long, I forgot to thank you for the compliment.”
Long Yanmei furrowed her brows.
‘When did I praise her?’
“Didn’t you like my catering service at your banquet?”
Long Yanmei froze. She looked at her dumbfounded.
She smiled. “I’m the owner and head chef of Natsukashi, who you were praising so much.”
