Chapter 204 Why Hide One's Edge?

"..."

Qiaoqiao's smile froze, her face blank with confusion, and she blurted out in Mandarin, "What? What did you say?"

Wen Ni stood there blankly, unresponsive, only her eyes filled with clear confusion!

The foreign man clearly didn't understand what Qiaoqiao was saying either. He shrugged and looked her over repeatedly.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her gaze, Qiaoqiao had no choice but to turn and glare at Wen Ni, urging her impatiently, "Fine, I don't understand, but what are you standing here like an idiot for? Don't you speak English? Ask him if he can speak English!"

"Ah~ I was stunned too, I didn't react at first."

Wen Ni immediately looked like she suddenly understood. She deliberately slowed down a beat and spoke in broken English, stuttering and with completely non-standard pronunciation, "Excuse me, could you please say it again in English?"

"OK".

Seeing that they were genuinely flustered and didn't seem to be faking it, the foreign man finally relaxed and laughed out loud, switching to English as he said, "It's nothing, I was just complimenting you two as very beautiful Chinese girls!"

After he finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Four-Eyes.

Four-Eyes nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that there was no problem.

"Thank you, sir!" Wen Ni bowed with Qiao Qiaoqi.

"You're welcome," the French man said with a smile.

The bespectacled man beside him raised his hand at the opportune moment and continued in French, "Please, Mr. Williams, everyone is here, now we're just waiting for you!"

Okay~

Williams and Four-Eyes walked ahead, while Wen Ni and Qiao Qiao followed at a distance.

You could hear Williams and his companion exchanging a few words in French every now and then, but they were all trivial matters!

Qiao Qiao couldn't understand, but Wen Ni could. She had only pretended not to understand to avoid arousing Si Yan'er's suspicion.

Having spent many years abroad, traveling to various countries to carry out missions, Wen Ni speaks very few languages, almost none!

"You two stay here and guard the place."

"OK."

Wen Ni and Qiao Qiao were left at the entrance of the hot spring.

One person was holding three bath towels, waiting for the guests to come out.

It seems that even though the foreign man had tested her and Qiaoqiao's identities, he remained wary of them because their faces were so unfamiliar, and did not allow them to come into contact with the domestic guests!

From Wen Ni's position, she could only see six female waitresses sitting around the hot spring pool, giving shoulder and neck massages to six guests, including Si Yan'er!

Most of the guests were Western-looking men, with only a handful looking like Asians!

Steam rose from the hot spring, mingling with the gurgling sound of water and the occasional giggles of female waitresses…

Standing in the outer room, it was extremely difficult for Wen Ni to hear what Si Yan'er and the others were saying!

This kind of environment makes it completely impossible to install listening devices.

No wonder...

Four-Eyes always meets them here to discuss things!

"It's so hot and humid in here, I feel like I'm going to suffocate if I stay here any longer! There are clearly people serving us inside, I don't know why they insist on making us stand here!"

After standing there for a while, Qiaoqiao started complaining.

She didn't want to come in the first place; she was completely forced into it!

"You're such a troublemaker! You made the mistake yourself, but you dragged me into it too!" Qiao Qiao grumbled, venting her anger on Wen Ni. "Since you came here, not a single day has gone smoothly for me!"

"Song and the others praised you so much, so why didn't they come up with you? Why did they only come with me, Huo Huo?"

The more she talked about it, the more resentful Qiaoqiao felt.

Ever since Wen Ni appeared, she's stolen all of her popularity. "[Hardworking]" and "[Efficient]"—these words that were previously used to praise her are now all exclusive to Wen Ni!

“If you feel resentful, go talk to Sister Shanshan.” Wen Ni didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids. “It’s not like I’m making you come along. I said I can manage on my own.”

She couldn't be happier to be alone and have some peace and quiet, which would also make it easier for her to move around!

"You want me to go find Sister Shanshan? You just want to see me get yelled at, don't you?" Qiaoqiao stared at Wen Ni, her eyes blazing with jealousy. "I see now. You show your true colors in front of me, but in front of others you act like a little lamb, trying to gain sympathy! You're really good at playing innocent!"

"If others treat me with courtesy, I will return the courtesy." Wen Ni said calmly and steadily. "If you treat me with hostility, why should I hide it?"

"What do you mean? You..."

Qiaoqiao wanted to say more, but then she saw that several distinguished guests had already come out of the hot spring.

With four glasses in front of him, his interested gaze fell on Wen Ni. "What you just said is quite interesting!"

"It seems the waitresses here aren't like you described, all uncultured country bumpkins!" one of the Chinese men joked, his squinting eyes sweeping over Wen Ni's face.

Wen Ni lowered her head slightly, put on a shy expression, and handed over the towel. "I'm still studying. I just started university."

"So that's how it is!"

The Chinese man took the towel, his eyes gleaming...

Qiaoqiao watched from the side, her mouth practically twisted to the sky in smirk.

"Louis, don't scare the young lady!" Four-Eyes looked around and reminded her, then chuckled and led the way. "Let's go change our clothes first. I've also arranged a delicious meal in the guest room next door, so please don't be shy! I hope this collaboration will go as smoothly as every other time!"

"Good, good, good..." The group was very satisfied with the arrangement.

Following behind them, watching their backs, Wen Ni's eyes dimmed slightly.

In the half hour they spent at the hot spring, they had probably finished discussing all the important matters. Now, they no longer held back and spoke directly in Mandarin about romantic matters, none of which Wen Ni wanted to hear!

The only thing we know for sure is that they are shipping a shipment of goods out of the country tomorrow!

I know nothing else besides that.

Wen Ni must find a way to get more clues!

"Wen Ni, pour the wine!"

Inside the guest room, the dining table was laden with delicacies. After the guests had all taken their seats, Qiaoqiao suddenly called out in a low voice.

Why should she command Wen Ni if she herself is not in power?

Wen Ni, being quick-witted, only glanced at the dining table.

Upon seeing those lustful eyes, she immediately understood what was going on!

Qiao Qiao had no idea that what she saw as a den of thieves and tigers was a rare opportunity for Wen Ni.

"They're here."

Wen Ni did not refuse and turned around to pick up the wine bottle.

Qiaoqiao watched with a smug look. Wasn't Wen Ni always eager to do everything? It was time to teach her a lesson and let her experience the harsh realities of society!

Under the golden crystal chandelier

The slender Wen Ni circled the dining table, pouring red wine into decanters, then carrying the decanters and pouring them one by one.

If a man tries to touch her, she will withdraw her hand at the right moment so that he cannot touch her at all!

Then she turned around and poured wine for the next person.

It makes someone feel itchy inside, but they can't lash out!

Little did they know

Wen Ni's only target is that Chinese man: Louis.

Williams sat in the main seat, with Four-Eyes to his right and Louis to his left. Clearly, Louis held a similarly high position among them.

Williams was cautious and suspicious, and not someone to be tested.

Louis was different.

His eyes revealed a naked and direct desire for beauty!
