At the moment when they pushed the door open and entered, a beam of light shone directly on them.
Jian Dan instinctively used her hand to shield her eyes.
Did it have to be so perfectly timed? Not a moment to prepare.
Actually, Jian Dan had mentally prepared herself before entering, but when the light hit them, she was still caught off guard.
"Are you alright?" Mu Yi asked gently about Jian Dan’s condition.𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"I’m fine! It was just a bit blinding at first; now it’s okay."
"That’s good!"
"Assistant Mu, you’re here? Where’s Director Qin? Why haven’t I seen him?" Someone had already e up to greet them.
Jian Dan really didn’t like or excel at dealing with such social interactions. "Mu Yi, I want to go to the restroom."
"Okay!"
Mu Yi watched Jian Dan’s back until it disappeared, then turned back to the person who spoke earlier, "Director Qin isn’t feeling well today, so he didn’t e!"
"Not feeling well? Did he go to the hospital? I have connections at the hospital, so if you need anything, just let me know." At times like this, of course, you should spare no effort to build connections.
"He went to the hospital this afternoon and there doesn’t seem to be any major issues."
"That’s good! That’s good!"
Because Qin Rou didn’t e tonight, there were twice as many people trying to cozy up to Mu Yi.
On the surface, Mu Yi didn’t show any stress, but internally, he was on the brink of breakdown, his gaze frequently glancing toward the restroom, hoping Jian Dan would return soon.
But what Mu Yi didn’t know was that Jian Dan had long since e out of the restroom. Instead of looking for him, she had found a corner to herself and was eating.
Jian Dan had just finished a piece of cake and had picked up a second piece. Just as she was about to turn around, she accidentally bumped into someone.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I stained your clothes. How about I pensate you?"
"Ah—my limited edition dress.
Are you blind? Look at what you’ve done to my dress!" The woman shouted venomously and sharply.
"I already apologized, and I said I’d pay for your dress."
"pensate? Can you afford it? Do you know how much my dress costs? And even if you had the money, you can’t buy it now; it’s limited edition!" The woman didn’t regard Jian Dan as a person.
Because in her eyes, people who just eat at parties like this are either freeloaders or gold diggers.
"I really think what you’re saying is nonsense. Do you think just because you say so, I don’t have to pensate?"
"Not pensate? If you don’t, I’ll call the police."
"Since I still have to pensate, what’s the point of all this nonsense?"
"You’re quite audacious. You stained my dress, and yet you speak to me like this?"
"Heh~ How do you want me to talk to you then? Softly and gently or timidly breathing?"
"I can’t be bothered to waste words with someone like you. You must pensate, but before you do, you have to apologize to me." As the woman spoke, she glanced at the floor.
Jian Dan’s gaze turned cold. "What? You want me to kneel for you?"
"I’m kind-hearted enough not to make you do that. Just a ninety-degree bow and an apology will do."
Heh~
Jian Dan felt like she had just heard an exceedingly funny joke.
"We both know what really happened just now, so when I offered to pay for your dress, you should have let it go. But since you’re insisting on tearing things open, I’ll acpany you." In Jian Dan’s dictionary, there’s no word for backing down. "I was facing away from you when I got the cake, and I’m a normal person who can’t see behind me because I don’t have a third eye.
But you two, with four eyes, were watching, yet you bumped into me. How is that my fault?"
Jian Dan’s words made a trace of guilt appear on the woman’s face.
The reason she hadn’t noticed Jian Dan in front of her just now was that her eyes were focused on Mu Yi in the distance. She bumped into Jian Dan just as she was about to turn around.
"What? Do you have nothing to say now?"
"You’re a villain turning the tables. You clearly stained my dress, and now you’re the one accusing me? How thick-skinned can you get?"
Jian Dan’s worldview was refreshed once more. Today’s events seemed improperly timed. How is it possible to meet someone so thick-skinned?
