"You mean, you want me to compensate you?"
Lin Beiyin looked up and down at Bai Nianxi and saw that she wasn't dressed like before. He couldn't help but feel confused, but he still sneered: "This pot of mine is a top quality red robe, one pot is priced at one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, with your poor look, how can you afford it?"
"Who says you can't afford it?"
Before Bai Nianxi could say anything, Kang Mobei had already walked over gracefully with heavy footsteps.
CHAPTER 15 - ESPECIALLY HER
The atmosphere in the tea room was quiet. The argument between Bai Nianxi and Lin Beiyin had attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Now that Kang Mobei was walking over, it attracted everyone's attention.
When Lin Beiyin saw Kang Mobei, his eyes were first filled with shock, then filled with resentment. She was very clear about Bai Nianxi's background. To be able to enter such a place, what else could she be other than being with a rich man?
Sneering coldly, "I was wondering how a poor working girl could come here, and it turns out that she was involved in some big money?"
What was even more disgusting was that it was not the fat one. It was handsome!
It was very common for rich people to be surrounded by a group of girls. However, this did not affect the disdain people had for these girls who were lustful towards women.
Especially those who were born in prestigious clans.
At this moment, most of them looked at Bai Nianxi with a look of understanding and loathing.
"Bai Nianxi, your methods are pretty good." Lin Beiyin continued to mock him, his tone was filled with disdain, "I was the one who didn't notice that before, other than poverty and poverty, you have other attractive traits?"
As Lin Beiyin said this, he didn't notice Kang Mobei's increasingly cold expression at all.
Bai Nianxi, on the other hand, was as calm as usual. When she was in France, she had been constantly harassed by Lin Beiyin. She would laugh it off and never take her harsh words to heart.
"I once felt sorry for you when I saw you moving the dishes in the restaurant. Now, it seems that you're just pretending to be a noble and noble person?"
"Lin Beiyin, you …"
"Apologize."
Faint, cold, it was Kang Mobei's voice.
Lin Beiyin couldn't believe his ears. What did this man just say? Ask her to apologize? Apologize to Bai Nianxi?
"Apologize? Why? Can she bear it? " Lin Beiyin's attitude was still as bad as before. However, under the invisible might of Kang Mobei, the fire couldn't help but die down a lot.
The manager of the teahouse walked over. He was very clear on the status of the people who came here. He had dealt with these people from the upper class many times and also developed a unique handling method.
However, the person who looked at him was Kang Mobei. He was unable to use the usual method at all.
He walked up to Mr. Kang and asked respectfully, "Mr. Kang, what are you doing?"
Kang Mobei didn't say anything. He just stood there with a straight body, his sharp eyes swept past Lin Beiyin. Someone had already explained this to the manager of the teahouse, and the manager understood what Kang Mobei meant.
He turned to Lin Beiyin and said, "Miss, please apologize."
"I won't apologize!" Lin Beiyin was still stubborn.
Kang Mobei stood there unmoved, his cold face was expressionless, and several security guards in black sunglasses and clothes had already surrounded him.
Lin Beiyin was scared and his voice trembled, "I'm right here, are you going to …" He didn't manage to finish the sentence.
Seeing this, the manager went up and whispered a few words into Lin Beiyin's ear. Lin Beiyin's face instantly became shocked and frightened. After knowing that this person was Kang Mobei, he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart.
Her family's wealth was not enough for her to offend Kang Mobei.
She wanted to plead, but seeing Kang Mobei's cold face, she couldn't open her mouth. Kang Mobei just stood there quietly, but the chill in his body was already making her speechless.
In the end, he could only choose to apologize.
Kang Mobei glanced at the tea in the waiter's hand and said, "Here's to you."
He wanted her to apologize to Bai Nianxi in this way.
Lin Beiyin stretched out his hand and tried his best to resist the humiliation. He took the cup of tea from the waiter beside him and poured himself a cup. Then, he stretched out his hand while trembling.
"Your family told you that you only use one hand to toast your tea?" Kang Mobei's eyes squinted slightly as the cold aura around his body started to rise again.
Lin Beiyin had no choice but to offer the tea in both hands to Bai Nianxi. He lowered his head slightly, clenched his teeth, and said, "Yes, I'm sorry."
Bai Nianxi stood in front of Lin Beiyin and frowned.
How was Lin Beiyin apologizing to her? It was only because of Kang Mobei's power and influence.
Even though she thought this, she still reached out her hand to take the tea cup from Lin Beiyin. Lin Beiyin was relieved when he saw her taking it.
Bai Nianxi lifted her hand again, and the teacup was held high in the air by Bai Nianxi, right on top of her head.
Suddenly, she remembered two years ago, at the French Western Restaurant, she had spilled a glass of red wine on the head of Bai Nianxi, who was just a waiter at the time.
Bai Nianxi was trying to return the humiliation she had suffered back to her!
Lin Beiyin's shoulders slightly shrank and his expression turned extremely ugly. He was ready to pour the tea down his head. However, Bai Nianxi only paused for a moment before slightly raising her eyebrows and withdrawing her hand.
Kang Mobei looked at Bai Nianxi with slight surprise in his eyes.
A smile appeared on the corner of Bai Nianxi's mouth. It was extremely light and beautiful. Without any contempt, Lin Beiyin's self-esteem was still shattered.
"If I pour this tea over, I'll become a person like you." Bai Nianxi slowly put the teacup back on the table beside her.
He looked straight into Lin Beiyin's eyes, "Since it is not sincere, I will not accept Miss Lin's apology."
"That's right. I, Bai Nianxi, have always been poor, but this does not affect me in the slightest. Everything that I have depends on my own hands. Your mockery weighs nothing to me."
He looked around, "This place is very expensive, but it's not something that only you can afford to come here. Being able to come here does not mean that I am being taken care of."
Bai Nianxi smiled. "Do you understand?"
He turned around and walked a few steps before stopping again. He turned his head to the side, leaving a perfect profile. "Right, let me buy you a cup of tea."
Aside from being embarrassed, Lin Beiyin was a bit absent-minded. What she did not expect was that the poor working girl that she had always looked down upon, Bai Nianxi, at that moment, made her feel unreachable.
Kang Mobei's eyes were cloudy, but after a while, he came back to his senses. He turned around to look at Bai Nianxi, who had already left. Her back looked inexplicably firm and proud.
His pupils constricted as he caught up to her.
Kang Mobei and Bai Nianxi were in the back, with Secretary Hsing in the front.
Bai Nianxi stared straight ahead without blinking. Kang Mobei, on the other hand, had one hand on the window as he leaned his head slightly to the side, his gaze fixed on Bai Nianxi.
"What is Mr. Kang looking at?"
Kang Mobei slightly raised his brows, "Look at you."
"..."
"Mr. Kang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Kang Mobei's gaze was teasing, "I'm just curious, what kind of person is Miss Bai exactly?"
"Ordinary people." Bai Nianxi's tone was also very ordinary.
Is that so? Why did he feel that it was a bit special?
CHAPTER 16 - STARTLING DISCOVERY
"There's going to be an art exhibition in three days. Accompany Luoluo."
He suddenly felt that as long as she was here, Luoluo would definitely … It would become like a normal child, completely different from the life he had lived in the past few years.
And he, should be.
The art exhibition Kang Mobei was talking about was not a normal person's art exhibition, but a personal exhibition of Jenny Mace, the hottest painter in the world.
Jenny Mace is one of the most famous new painters in the world recently. She is famous for her unique art and beautiful style.
Jenny Mace, the original little transparent painter, also emerged from the art gallery.
Although there were more than a dozen paintings on display by Jenny Mace this time, most of the people who came to the exhibition came from the book "Nine Prefectures Landscape", and Kang Mobei was no exception.
One could even say that Kang Mobei was running towards Jenny Mace.
The people who came to see the picture in the gallery were all dressed very decently and solemnly.
From the looks of it, the casual white lace blouse that Bai Nianxi had chosen today along with the short skirt of an irregular cut made her seem slightly more casual in the crowd, but it wasn't too eye-catching either.
However, the place where Kang Mobei was standing, was naturally the place where all eyes were gathered. Standing beside Kang Mobei, holding onto Bai Nianxi, the little young master of the Kang Family, was forced to reveal himself in front of everyone.
An old man dressed in an English gentleman's attire walked over with a cane. He took off his domed hat and slightly nodded towards Kang Mobei. Kang Mobei also slightly bowed and asked, "How have you been recently, Elder Ji?"
Elder Ji was an old painter who was renowned internationally. He was the top painter in Chinese painting. This time, he came to Jenny Mace's art exhibition. It showed how popular this new painter was recently.
"It's okay, it's okay." Elder Ji smiled and nodded.
"Greetings, Grandpa Ji." The small blob walked out from behind Bai Nianxi, bowed and greeted respectfully.
Elder Ji smiled even more as he nodded his head. He could be considered half a teacher of Luoluo, she was extremely intelligent and could draw easily. She was a talented painter that he liked.
"This is?" His gaze fell on Bai Nianxi, who was beside Kang Mobei. Kang Mobei had never brought a woman to any occasions before. This woman's sudden appearance next to Kang Mobei made people suspicious.
"Miss Bai, Jin Chuan's counselor." Kang Mobei introduced him politely.
The doubt on Elder Ji's face disappeared. He had heard that Kang Family Little Master had the habit of nightmares, so it wasn't strange for Kang Mobei to ask him for a counselor.
After greeting Bai Nianxi, a bright and clear voice came from behind him. Uncle Ji, why have you come as well? "
Bai Nianxi looked over and saw a girl wearing a red dress standing behind Elder Ji with an elegant smile. Although she was greeting Elder Ji, her eyes were focused on Kang Mobei.
"Jenny is here?" Elder Ji happily turned around and pulled Jenny over, "Let me introduce you. This is my niece, Jenny. This is the CEO of Kang's Group, Director Kang."
"Hello." Kang Mobei nodded slightly. However, Jenny reached out her hand enthusiastically, "Hello, I'm Jenny."
Jenny's hand stopped in the air. Kang Mobei seemed to ponder for a moment before he stretched out his hand and gently touched Jenny's fingertip. It was a very courteous gesture.
Bai Nianxi could feel Luoluo's meaty hands tighten unnaturally. She looked down and found Luoluo staring at Jenny with her wide, alert eyes, with a hint of inexplicable hostility in her eyes.
He only needed a single glance to understand what these women were thinking about his father. Hmph, Daddy is such a lustful butterfly, a big stinky bug.
"You came at the right time, Mobei told me before that he wanted to see you." Elder Ji smiled at Jenny and said, "Since you're here, you should get down to business with Mobei."
With a bashful expression on her face, Jenny nodded with a smile. "Alright, Uncle Ji."
Then he looked at Kang Mobei, who had already changed to a more intimate way of addressing him, "Brother Mobei, let's go."
Kang Mobei was stunned for a moment and then nodded. Before he left, he told Bai Nianxi, "Take Luoluo to see the painting. He knows what he wants. You only need to look at him."
Bai Nianxi nodded and was about to leave while holding Luoluo's hand. However, she found that Luoluo seemed to have rooted herself on the ground and refused to leave. Her gaze fell on the direction where Kang Mobei and Jenny had left in.
He reminded her softly, "Luoluo, let's go."
Luoluo harrumphed, "Xi, can't you tell? "This Jenny is really interested in Father!"
Bai Nianxi laughed and half bent down to scratch the tip of Luoluo's nose. "You really are a small fry."
How could she not see the adoration in Jenny's eyes? However, this was none of her business. It seemed like Luoluo hadn't had a mother all these years, so it was normal for other women to appear beside Kang Mobei.
He wanted to persuade Luoluo to open her mind a little more, but he felt that it was normal for her to mind something like this. He didn't say anything more, but his love for Luoluo only increased a bit more.
Looking at Kang Mobei's retreating back, Jenny followed beside Kang Mobei, with the intention of getting close. However, Kang Mobei had his hands in his pants pockets, and his steps were a bit big, as if he was deliberately keeping his distance. When he reached the corner, Kang Mobei looked back.
Coincidentally, he met Bai Nianxi's gaze with his own, causing a strange luster to flow in Kang Mobei's eyes.
Bringing Luoluo to the gallery to look at the paintings, Kang Mobei had told her that she only needed to bring him, she didn't need to care about anything else.
As she walked, Bai Nianxi's gaze fell on the main event of the day — — The Nine Prefectures' Landscape.
With just a single glance, Bai Nianxi's face turned deathly pale, an incomparably complicated expression appearing on it.
This painting was exactly the same as the one she had painted when she was studying at the American Academy in Paris!
At that time, she had spent a lot of effort to design this painting. First, she had spent more than a year's time and then more than half a year's time to draw it.
This directly led to her not being able to graduate because she failed to submit her graduation work. It was a heavy blow to her and she had been depressed for a long time that she had not been able to get her diploma from the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, which she had gone all out to get.
Looking at the Landscape of the Nine Regions on the wall, Bai Nianxi bit her lips and clenched her fists. It was obviously her painting! It was her hard work! Why did he appear here at this moment? He was even crowned with the name of someone else?
In a trance, a familiar voice suddenly called out, "Bai Nianxi?"
CHAPTER 17 - I DISAGREE
Recovering from her shock, Bai Nianxi turned to look in the direction of the voice. Wu Ling!
Wu Ling was her former roommate and her best friend when she first arrived in Paris. However, due to some matters later on, the two became enemies.
But why would she appear here?
"It's really you?" Seeing Bai Nianxi's face, Wu Ling confirmed her thoughts. Seeing Luoluo beside Bai Nianxi, Wu Ling taunted, "Oh, it's been so long since we last met. Is your child already so old? "Sure, Bai Nianxi. Sleeping men sure are fast."
Bai Nianxi frowned slightly, "Wu Ling, pay attention to your words in front of your child."
"Hur hur." Wu Ling laughed without a care, "She really is a good mother."
"However …" From top to bottom, he sized up Bai Nianxi, "What, you can't get your graduation certificate anymore? Why are you wearing such shabby clothes when you came to see the exhibition? "I'm not talking about you. If you really don't have the money to buy good clothes, then don't come
to the exhibition. You're really too poor to care about things like this."
Bai Nianxi was wearing plain clothes today, but was it shabby? The clothes Kang Mobei gave her, she actually said they were shabby?
Luoluo harrumphed in her heart. Idiot auntie, it's fine if you don't know what's good for you, but you still dare to humiliate her mother?
He raised his left hand and tapped twice on the watch screen on his wrist. Then, he raised his hand and scanned Wu Ling's entire body, producing a beeping sound.
Wu Ling was confused. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Luoluo giggle after looking at the numbers on her watch, "Auntie, your clothes don't seem to be that expensive. It's only a few hundred thousand."
The child's innocent and sweet voice reached Wu Ling's ears, making it sound very sarcastic. Before she could say anything, Luoluo added, "Moreover, it's an A."
"You!" Wu Ling's face immediately flushed red. "What does a little brat like you know!?" Don't spout nonsense! "
Although it was "A", she had spent quite a bit of money to buy it! She had just started working as Jenny's assistant. Jenny's salary wasn't high, and she was always getting nailed to her. In order to support her reputation, she had no other choice.
However, that person had clearly said that this shirt was made very realistic and was enough to fake the truth. Even if it was tested on a special counter, it wouldn't be found out. How could it be found out by this child's inexplicable sweep of his watch?
A haughty and disdainful smile appeared on Luoluo's chubby face. It was the exact same expression as Kang Mobei's. That innate king-like aura, no one could ignore.
"The clothes on this brand all have their serial number. You'll know when you scan them."
Luoluo let out a sudden "Ah!" and patted her little head, as if she suddenly remembered something very important.
"Oh, that's right. Auntie, if you don't understand, you can check the brand name 'Julirose'. Otherwise, if you call someone else's clothes shabby next time, that won't be good."
Hmph, saying that her mother is poor means that her father doesn't have any money?
