Chapter 746 - The Curse (21) (1/2)

Zhao Ming tapped her fingers on the table and scoffed in disbelief when she heard them calling her naive. Didn't they have any better words to describe her? She would have been happy if they had called her bitch but naive a straight insult to her character.

Feeling unaware of her wronged feelings, Xie Rouxi smiled at Xinyi and said, ” We can blackmail her with her mother. Doesn't she become soft when it comes to her mother? We just need to do the same.”

Zhao Ming pursed her lips hearing her words and scoffed, ” Arghh...I lost my appetite. Why can't people stop bitching about other people and let everyone eat in peace?” She said in a loud voice, making Xinyi and Rouxi frown at her seeing her getting annoyed for no reason.

Zhao Ming looked at the waiter and called him, ”Get us a bill. Also, packed all the remaining dishes. I can't even eat in peace here. Why can't people go somewhere else if they want to keep talking loudly? It's not like we're paying to hear their annoying voices ” she commented coldly.

Ji Cheng looked at the piece of pizza in his hand and then at Zhao Ming who stood up and was glancing at the duo of mother and daughter who were sitting opposite to their table. He placed it back on the plate and sighed, ” She can't sit tight without fighting, can she?” he murmured with a smirk.

The times she used to argue with Xiao Li or Empress Dowager started to flash in his mind. She has always been bold and fearless when it comes to inviting trouble. The first time she argued with Xiao Li and Wen Xu when she woke up from the state of being unconscious shocked him but it made him admire her even more.

He looked at the women who were talking ill about Zhao Ming and were now staring at her in confusion and bewilderment.

Xie Xinyi glanced at Rouxi before turning to Zhao Ming, ” Excuse me? Are you talking about us?” she asked in confusion, seeing the woman's odd reaction. They were not even talking about her, then why was she getting triggered?

Zhao Ming turned to Xinyi who was looking at her in confusion and scoffed, ” Of course it's you. Who else is talking so loudly other than you two?”

”....”

Xie Rouxi frowned at the girl who was talking back to Xinyi arrogantly and slammed the table with a force, ” You! What is your problem? Do you think you own this restaurant? We can talk about whatever we want. What has it gotten to do with you? What an attention seeker!” She spatted.

The woman was wearing a white dress with a brown overcoat. Although her facial features were gentle, making her appear innocent and graceful, her words are sharper than she looks.

” Mom, please!” Xinyi placed a hand over Xie Rouxi's to calm her down and not talk this way.

She glanced at Ji Cheng who was sitting opposite Zhao Ming calmly and was sipping on the glass of water. She raised her brows in surprise as he was watching them with interest without saying a word. She pursed her lips and couldn't help but blush to see his idol-like looks.

'Is he a model? He does look like one.' she wondered and smiled shyly at him.

She cleared her throat and stood up, she faced Zhao Ming and said, ” I am sorry if we bothered you guys. I apologize for my mother's rude behavior. We weren't trying to be loud, do you want me to pay for your meal as compensation?” she asked gently and glanced at Ji Cheng who was minding his own business.

Zhao Ming raised her brows seeing her acting innocent.

”By the way, I am Xie Xinyi. The Vice President of Gu Corporations. And you're?” she pulled out her business card from her purse and offered it to Ji Cheng, while Zhao Ming who fought with her stared at her in a daze, puzzled by her shameless actions.

Even Xie Rouxi was also shocked to see her daughter acting gentle and sophisticated all of a sudden.

Zhao Ming saw what Xinyi was doing and scoffed in disbelief. Since she can't get Liwei, she is now hitting on Ji Cheng with her foxy looks? Hah! Some people can never change.
