Xu Xinchen's lips curled into a sneer, her eyes filled with disdain: "What a mess? Miss Li, since you're so eager to go to this place, why don't you leave now and we can find another place to talk after I've finished eating?"

Li Xueyan was completely stunned by Xu Xinchen's words. She didn't know what to say for a moment. After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter a resentful sentence: "You have no manners!"

Xu Xinchen twitched her lips, not even wanting to acknowledge Li Xueyan anymore. She pulled out the menu from the table and quickly ordered a few dishes: "Boss lady, please give me a braised beef and a braised eggplant..."

After quickly placing her order, Xu Xinchen handed the menu directly to the proprietress who was standing next to her writing down the dishes, without even glancing at Li Xueyan.

Seeing Xu Xinchen's expression, Li Xueyan frowned instantly and said with disgust, "Miss Lu, don't you know that it's polite to give the menu to your companions after ordering?"

"Miss Li," Xu Xinchen glanced coldly at Li Xueyan, "You were already so disgusted with this place, I thought you wouldn't want to eat anything. Did I misunderstand you? Does Miss Li want to be a mess like me?"

Stared at by Xu Xinchen, Li Xueyan couldn't say anything more. Her face turned ashen as she picked up the water glass next to her and took a big gulp.

Standing to the side, the proprietress, who had been memorizing the names of the dishes, glanced at Li Xueyan expressionlessly: "Excuse me, sir, this water is for cleaning dishes and utensils, not for drinking."

Li Xueyan's face stiffened; she didn't know whether to drink the water in her mouth or spit it out, her entire expression was like...

It's like a color palette, very beautiful.

Xu Xinchen sat opposite Li Xueyan and, seeing Li Xueyan's frustrated expression, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Xueyan's expression was truly hilarious, but she deserved it; who told her to complain about the shop in front of the owner's wife?

Xu Xinchen turned her head and glanced at the proprietress. She saw the proprietress raise her eyebrows at her with a slight smile. Xu Xinchen quietly gave the proprietress a thumbs-up from under the table, in a direction where the proprietress could see.

The proprietress, with a smile in her eyes, took the menu with the dish name written down and turned to steal it into the kitchen. Did she really think everyone was easy to bully? How dare someone who came to eat at her restaurant complain about her like that? She had to teach them a lesson.

Seeing Xu Xinchen and the proprietress in this state, Li Xueyan could no longer hold back. She stood up angrily and slammed her hand on the table with a loud bang, attracting the attention of the other customers in the store.

She and Xu Xinchen were already very attractive, and most people in the store focused their attention on them.

Now that Li Xueyan had slammed her hand on the table, those people stared at her even more brazenly. Li Xueyan still had the cup of water that the landlady had mentioned for cleaning the dishes in her mouth.

She wanted to yell at Xu Xinchen, but with a mouthful of water in her mouth, she couldn't say a word. In the end, she could only glare angrily at Xu Xinchen, reach for her bag on the inside of the chair, and turn to walk outside.

Xu Xinchen watched Li Xueyan's retreating figure, then simply shrugged at the curious stares to indicate that she didn't know either.

Knowing what kind of temper the other person is throwing.

Once the female lead who had attracted attention left, those people all turned their attention back to eating and stopped focusing all their attention on Xu Xinchen.

Xu Xinchen had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Xueyan leave angrily, thinking she could finally eat in peace. But she didn't expect that Li Xueyan would turn back so soon after leaving.

This time, the water in her mouth was gone. As soon as she came in, she threw her bag onto the chair: "Your full name is Lu Minshi, right? I won't pretend to be polite with you anymore. I only have one question: how much money do you want to leave Chen Ningsheng?"

Xu Xinchen was studying the patterns on the boss's dining table when a loud bang suddenly came from across the table, followed by an arrogant and willful voice in her ear.

The content of what she was saying was so offensive that her face immediately darkened. She raised her head and glared coldly at Li Xueyan: "Miss Li, are you out of your mind? By what right do you speak to me like that?"

Although this was the first time she had encountered a situation where money was thrown at a girl to make her leave a rich man, it didn't stop her from understanding when such scenarios would happen.

Li Xueyan is neither Chen Ningsheng's originally betrothed nor his mother. For someone to say these things to her like this, he must be out of his mind.

Li Xueyan's lips were pressed tightly together, her eyes filled with disgust: "Just tell me how much money you need to leave Chen Ningsheng? Give me a price while I'm still willing to, or it will be too late if I change my mind later."

Li Xueyan had no other choice; she couldn't give up her current comfortable life, so she was determined to bring Xu Xinchen back.

She had to get rid of Chen Ningsheng; otherwise, she would have no chance at all, and how could she complete the task her father had given her?

However, after thinking for several days, she still couldn't come up with a way to make Chen Ningsheng give up, so she could only take the initiative to find Xu Xinchen and try to get money from her so that Xu Xinchen could leave.

Xu Xinchen looked at Li Xueyan with amusement: "Miss Li, who told you I was going to leave Chen Ningsheng? He's been so good to me, he's practically the person who loves me the most in the whole world, why would I leave him?"

Li Xueye stared coldly at Xu Xinchen, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain: "Lu Minshi comes from a small town called Qingyuan Town. Her parents didn't achieve much, her mother died early, and now she has a stepmother whose relationship with her family isn't very good. She's been away for so long and hasn't been home for a month. Am I right?"

Xu Xinchen's expression froze, and her hand on the table clenched tightly. What did Li Xueyan mean by this? Did she even go to investigate her?

Seeing that Xu Xinchen remained silent, Li Xueyan's expression turned smug: "I told you so, didn't I? Someone like you, coming from an unknown little town, with parents who aren't very capable, do you think you're good enough for Chen Ningsheng?"
