For several days, Xia Xi did not go to Mrs. Li's private estate.
That day, Mrs. Li said in person that her manor did not need her to renovate it, and there was no need for her to repeatedly put herself in a difficult position and cause trouble for herself just to keep this order.
Xia Xi reported the cause and process of the whole incident truthfully to Lu Mingji so that he could be mentally prepared. From this order from Mrs. Li, the company would not earn anything except the deposit.
No, after deducting the medical expenses paid to Mrs. Li, the deposit is also gone.
Gao Ge was also present during the discussion and said indignantly, "I also ran into that scumbag Li Shiguang when I went to the manor that time. He hinted at me sleeping with him. If I hadn't considered him a client, I really wanted to take off my high heels and slap him twice. And that Mrs. Li is not a pushover either. I didn't do anything, but she's wary of me like she's a mistress. I'm really fed up with it."
Xia Xi looked at Gao Ge and said calmly, "Thanks to your reminder, I was more careful. Even so, I was still disgusted."
Gao Ge knocked on the desk in front of Lu Mingji and said, "Mr. Lu, it's boring to continue with this order. We can't just change the designer for Mrs. Li. Who knows what trouble will come out of this."
Whether as Xia Xi's boss or her friend, Lu Mingji couldn't bear to watch her suffer any more. "Don't worry about this matter. I'll send someone to talk to Mrs. Li about terminating the contract."
Gao Ge felt relieved, this should have been done a long time ago.
Just after finishing the conversation, someone knocked on the door. Lu Mingji turned the pen in his hand and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open a crack, and Huang Shiyu poked his head in and asked, "Did I disturb you?"
Xia Xi was slightly stunned and waved: "Come in if you have something to say."
Huang Shiyu bravely walked in. "Sister Xi, Mrs. Li is here at the company, and she specifically wants to see you." She looked worried. "I was going to tell Mrs. Li you weren't at the company, but she seemed to have guessed what I was going to say and sat down. It looked like she absolutely had to see you."
She had no choice but to come over to inform them.
Gao Ge frowned, thinking back to the last time he was bullied, and suggested to Xia Xi, "I think you should just not go over there. Just find someone to get rid of her. You saw her causing a scene at the company that time. There was chaos everywhere, and she smashed anything she could get her hands on. I've never seen such a person before. She's like a psychopath."
Lu Mingji stood up, straightened the hem of his suit, and agreed with Gao Ge: "You stay here, I'll go see her in person."
Xia Xi hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head: "I'd better go. If she doesn't see me, she will probably come again. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of her finding fault with me."
Lu Mingji: "Then I'll go with you."
The two walked out of the office. Many employees outside were looking around. Lu Mingji coughed, and those who were slacking off tacitly lowered their heads, staring at the computers in front of them, pretending to be busy, but in fact, their minds had already flown away.
Lately, the entire company has been gossiping about Mrs. Li, who's become the center of attention. Rumors suggest she's accusing Xia Xi of seducing her husband. Of course, no one believes this. First, Mrs. Li has also slandered Gao Ge before. Second, everyone knows who Xia Xi's boyfriend is. Although Xia Xi hasn't disclosed the name, everyone has at least witnessed him picking her up from work.
Xia Xi said that she was not afraid of Mrs. Li and did not want to have a head-on conflict with her. She deliberately fell half a step behind Lu Mingji. When she saw Mrs. Li, she was surprised that she was not dressed up like the previous times. She was only wearing a simple dark blue shirt dress with no extra decorations. She had loose curly hair and wore sunglasses on her face, so her expression could not be seen.
Her pale lips showed that she was not wearing lipstick.
Mrs. Li took off her sunglasses, glanced at Lu Mingji first, and said straight to the point: "I want to talk to Miss Xia alone for a few words."
Xia Xi saw Mrs. Li's face clearly. Compared with before, she looked much more haggard. Not only was her skin dry, but the fine lines and bags at the corners of her eyes were particularly obvious. It was no exaggeration to say that she looked like a different person.
"If it's about the subsequent renovation of your private estate, why don't you talk to me." Lu Mingji did not give in.
Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "It's a private matter."
Lu Mingji glanced at Xia Xi, who reacted calmly and showed no other emotions.
Mrs. Li understood the exchange of glances and chuckled self-deprecatingly. She had left a bad impression on others before. She lowered her head, then raised it again, saying calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not looking for trouble with Miss Xia, nor do I intend to break the contract. I just want to apologize to her."
Lu Mingji asked Xia Xi for his opinion. Xia Xi thought for a few seconds and nodded.
Mrs. Li didn't want to talk in the office. As lunchtime was approaching, she offered to treat Xia Xi to a meal as an apology. Xia Xi declined, saying that her husband usually sent someone to bring her lunch.
As a second choice, Mrs. Li invited her for coffee. Xia Xi wanted to say that she had given up coffee since she had some stomach problems, but she thought it would be too embarrassing to refuse repeatedly, so she didn't say it.
Xia Xi went to the coffee shop with Mrs. Li and ordered a glass of pure juice.
Mrs. Li held a coffee cup, her nails bare and clean after removing her manicure. She said she wanted to apologize to Xia Xi, and she was not vague. After sitting down, she thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I wronged you last time. I'm sorry."
Xia Xi looked at her in disbelief, wondering what she had been through. Her attitude had changed so drastically in just a few days. Xia Xi almost thought the person in front of her was a fake Mrs. Li. She took a sip of orange juice to suppress her surprise.
"I know my previous performance was quite poor." Mrs. Li smiled as she spoke, but her smile was very faint and mixed with bitterness. "You are right, my husband... Li Shiguang is indeed surrounded by women all the time."
Xia Xi was stunned and didn't dare to respond.
