"I really didn't do it on purpose..." Han Xiner frantically bowed apologetically.
"Forget it Xiao Yang, come out with me to get changed. Write down her name and send her the bill, there's no need to make things more difficult for her," the woman known as 'Yi Jie' said gently. On the surface she seemed to be understanding towards Xiner's mistake, but in reality, she had no intention of letting her off easily.
'Send her the bill'!
A dress like this, even if Han Xiner worked on her current salary for the next ten years, she wouldn't be able to pay for it.
Han Xiner's face turned pale, "Why don't I wash it for you..."
"Wash? You want our Yi Jie to wear something washed and wrinkly? Which agency are you from? Call your boss over. Are you a hotel staff, perhaps?" The woman had no idea of Han Xiner's identity, so it was reasonable for her to ask for her boss under these circumstances.
Han Xiner looked at Bei Chendong hopelessly. She originally thought he hadn't noticed what was happening, but to her surprise, he immediately walked over and stopped beside her.
Meanwhile, Tangning who had been watching for a while, continued to enjoy the show from the sidelines.
"What happened?"
Hearing Bei Chendong's question, the woman immediately revealed a smile, "Oh, it's Dong Ge. This waitress destroyed Yi Jie's dress, so we are currently dealing with it. Thank you for your concern."
"Who's concerned about you?" Bei Chendong responded coldly. He then lowered his head and looked at Han Xiner, "Tell me, what happened?"
"I saw people trying to force you to drink, so I tried to hurry over to stop them. But, I accidentally ran into these two...I mean Yi Jie. Yi Jie said I need to pay for her dress, but..."
...how can I afford it?
Han Xiner swallowed her last few words...
The two women froze, curious what Han Xiner's relationship with Bei Chendong was.
To their surprise, Bei Chendong directly poured the glass of wine in his hand on Yi Jie's dress as well and said, "I don't like it when other's bully my people. I'll pay you for this dress, it now belongs to me. Since I own it, I can do whatever I want with it..."
"Dong...Dong Ge," the women were speechless.
"Have a good look at this face. She is my assistant, not some random waitstaff. Next time you want to threaten someone, know who you're dealing with first," Bei Chendong hooked his arm around Han Xiner's neck as he spoke in a cold tone. And before the two women could respond, he dragged her out of the banquet hall.
As he walked out, he said to Mo Ting, "I don't like places like this. I'll be leaving first."
Mo Ting squinted his eyes at him. Did he just come here to cause trouble?
But, as he turned and saw the smile on his wife's face, he realized Bei Chendong had just treated them to a good show.
As long as Tangning enjoyed the show, that's all that mattered...
"Ting...when do you think Xiner will realize what's going on?"
"She may not be oblivious. She's just pretending not to know," Mo Ting replied as he turned back to the crowd.
Han Xiner wasn't Lu Che. Even Lu Che pretended to have a low EQ at times, let alone someone as sensitive as Han Xiner.
In reality, Tangning also suspected Han Xiner was playing dumb. Perhaps, she wasn't willing to believe Bei Chendong, so she pretended not to know anything...
Meanwhile, as soon as they stepped out of the hotel, Han Xiner loosened herself from Bei Chendong's grip and held onto a tree on the side of the road, "I only just saw Ning Jie and you're already dragging me away!?"
