Inside the Red House Café

The melodious jazz music flowed in the air, and the rich aroma of coffee intertwined with the sweetness of desserts.

Chen Xiaoxi unconsciously stroked the rim of her coffee cup with her fingertips, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the stairwell.

Damn Lu Qingzhou, why isn't he here yet?

Did my dad not reveal the information to Aunt Zhang?

That's unlikely. He likes Aunt Zhang so much, he should be able to tell the difference.

She raised her wrist and looked at her watch; it was almost midnight.

Wang Bin, the blind date in front of me, was enthusiastically recounting the outstanding achievements of his company.

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses kept glancing at her.

That pretentious, refined demeanor completely belied him as a hypocrite.

“Miss Chen, your family runs a medical clinic, and my family is also involved in the medicinal herb business. I think it would be a perfect match if our two families could get married.”

Wang Bin picked up the bone china cup, took a small sip of his latte, and didn't even realize that a little milk foam had gotten on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xiaoxi smiled politely, about to shatter his sweet dream, when suddenly a fragrant breeze wafted over.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Wang? Talking business or having a fling?"

Mo Weilin was wearing a custom-made dark blue suit, looking quite flamboyant.

A lackey followed behind him was Xu Yue, Lu Qingzhou's classmate.

The two swaggered towards Chen Xiaoxi and the others.

Xu Yue's gaze roamed over Chen Xiaoxi like a venomous snake, a malicious smile playing on her lips.

Upon hearing the phrase "Xiao Wang, right?"

Wang Bin's face immediately darkened, and he was about to retort angrily, but then he saw who it was.

He immediately swallowed back the words that were stuck in his throat.

He hurriedly stood up, his face full of obsequiousness: "Young Master Mo, what are you doing here? I... I was just chatting with Miss Chen."

Mo Weilin was very satisfied with Wang Bin's attitude towards him. He sat down next to him with an air of nonchalance, looking Chen Xiaoxi up and down. Damn, this girl is really beautiful.

Chen Xiaoxi frowned slightly, her eyes showing a hint of disgust, and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Mo Weilin didn't care about Chen Xiaoxi's indifferent attitude. He reached out and picked up the coffee in front of Wang Bin, glanced at it, and frowned: "This coffee isn't high-class enough, Xiao Wang. You have to be sincere when you invite a beautiful lady for coffee, don't you think?"

Wang Bin's face twitched slightly as he watched Mo Weilin leering at Chen Xiaoxi.

I really wanted to snap at him.

However, considering that his own company still depended on the Mo Group for survival, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

He gave an awkward laugh: "Yes, yes, Young Master Mo is right."

Mo Weilin laughed and put his coffee cup on the table. "By the way, did your company recently take on a project for the Mo Group? I heard the progress is a bit slow."

Wang Bin forced a smile and said obsequiously, "Young Master Mo, we...we've been working overtime to catch up on the schedule, there will absolutely be no delays, you can rest assured."

"Yeah?"

Mo Weilin raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of threat, "Since you're working overtime to catch up on the schedule, why are you wasting your time here? Hurry up and go back and keep an eye on things, or I won't be able to protect your company if something goes wrong."

Wang Bin's face turned pale and then red. He glanced at Chen Xiaoxi, and finally gritted his teeth, bowing and scraping to Mo Weilin: "Yes, yes, Young Master Mo is right to teach me a lesson. I'll go back now."

After saying that, he grabbed his suit jacket and fled the coffee shop as if he were escaping.

Seeing Wang Bin tactfully leave, Mo Weilin turned back to look at Chen Xiaoxi, straightened his collar, and gave what he thought was a very charming smile: "Beautiful lady, let me introduce myself. I am from the Mo Group..."

"Stop! I'm not interested in hearing you introduce yourself. Please move aside..."

Before Mo Weilin could boast, Chen Xiaoxi stopped him from speaking.

This guy, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, chased her blind date away with just a few words, but then shamelessly sat down next to her, making her even more disgusted.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoxi was being so disrespectful, Mo Weilin's face darkened. "Beautiful lady, that Xiao Wang is nothing but a dog who depends on us for food. You'd be better off getting to know him than being friends with him?"

He then reached out to put his hand on Chen Xiaoxi's shoulder.

Chen Xiaoxi's face turned red with anger, and she slammed her hand on the table, exclaiming, "How could you do this? This is too much!"

"Don't be angry, beautiful lady."

Mo Weilin, however, didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he smiled and pointed to the seat opposite him, saying, "Sit down and chat with me."

The Patek Philippe watch, revealed by the slip of his suit sleeve, gleamed coolly under the light.

The hair, coated with hairspray, formed a glossy arc on the top of the head.

Looking at the smile on Mo Weilin's lips, Chen Xiaoxi was suddenly reminded of the carefully framed artificial flowers in the shop window.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Mo Weilin ignored Chen Xiaoxi's indifference and continued, "If you make me happy, maybe I'll give you a chance to work with me in the future."

Chen Xiaoxi gave him a cold glance.

She could feel Mo Weilin's disgusted gaze following her carefully styled low ponytail, past her earlobe, and finally settling on the waistline of her little black dress.

This scrutiny made her feel like she was picking out live fish at a market, which disgusted her.

"Please have some self-respect,"

Chen Xiaoxi glared at him angrily and took a half step back.

Mo Weilin suddenly chuckled, raising his head to look her up and down. "Little girl, don't pretend to be high and mighty. Your circle..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiaoxi bent down, grabbed the coffee on the table, and splashed it directly in his face.

"Damn it...you just spilled coffee on me."
