The wheat-toned skin young lady winked at Jiangnan with her big eyes and left.
Jiangnan put his half-removed jacket back on!
How could he miss such a golden money-making chance?
Three grand right in the bag!
The waiter who spotted the scene was green with envy!
“Damn! Why don’t I get lucky like that!”
“You? With a face like concrete, give it up!”
“Tsk tsk tsk! With that mug! What the hell’s he doing waitering here!”
“Bloody hell! I’m dying of jealousy…”
Jiangnan glanced left and right!
He snuck the cash into his pocket.
Then he kicked off his moneymaking scheme.
He sauntered up to a young lady and stood there casually.
Waited half a minute.
If no reaction, off to the next!
He actually hooked a few interested ones.
But that wheat-toned lady kept eyes on Jiangnan the whole time.
Whenever someone bit, she shot a fierce glare.
The young ladies saw it.
A pang of regret hit them, but they dared not compete with her.
Had to back off.
Jiangnan: …
Damn!
Are you that possessive!
Good stuff’s for sharing, you know?
You’re killing my business!
Jiangnan wasn’t ready to quit.
He wandered on!
Finally parked himself by a young lady with a generous expanse of bare back.
“Ahem!”
She turned, then grabbed his arm.
“Xiaonan! Where’ve you been? Been looking everywhere!”
Jiangnan: ???
Xia Yao?
This…
This is proper awkward.
Jiangnan couldn’t exactly say he was hustling business!
He quickly changed tack, fuming:
“You’ve got some nerve!”
“What do you think I’ve been doing? Serving drinks! Look at this crap outfit you picked!”
“See how I sort you when we get home!”
Xia Yao stifled a laugh, eyes screaming scheming success!
Clearly premeditated!
She whispered in his ear, “Who asked you to make me look like you? Hmph!”
Jiangnan: …
Women!
All big trotters indeed!
The hall waiters were gobsmacked, staring at Jiangnan.
“Damn! He’s reeled in another one?”
“Xia family heiress, where the hell do you complain about that?”
“This bloke’s not waitering, he’s here to fish for girls!”
And that wheat-toned lady locked onto Xia Yao, glaring daggers!
Xia Yao eyed Jiangnan, then her, puzzled!
But she wasn’t fazed, glared right back!
“Xiaonan, why’s that woman staring at you?”
Jiangnan looked guilty as sin…
“Ahem! Probably ’cause I’m too dashing!”
“Pah! Shameless git!”
Just then, Jiangnan felt eyes on him.
Zhong Yingxue was chatting with a couple, then looked his way.
The couple followed suit!
Xia Yao waved, Jiangnan flashed a bright grin.
“Xuexue’s folks?”
Xia Yao kept her smile, “In name only…”
Jiangnan went quiet!
Zhong Yingxue had been graciously helping her parents greet guests.
Then a icy voice cut in:
“Hmph! A dump like this for the likes of a penniless loser?”
“Dressed as a waiter? Tsk tsk tsk! Sneaked in disguised, eh?”
“Hahaha! I’m dying!”
Jiangnan turned, Luo Tianxiang in an Armani suit, sneering with utter disdain.
Xia Yao’s pretty face frosted over, “Watch your mouth!”
“Don’t think I don’t know your dirty little secrets!”
Luo Tianxiang scoffed, “So what if you do? Snitch to the Zhong family?”
“Old Master Zhong signed off on it!”
“None of your business! What’s up, Jiangnan? Hiding behind skirts? That’s all you’ve got!”
Jiangnan beamed, “If it isn’t Young Master Luo!”
“Hair grown back, bold enough to show your face?”
“Daring public dumps in lifts now, no more sneaking, but still fussed over a bit of pride?”
Luo Tianxiang’s face went livid!
Expression like he’d swallowed shit.
“Pfft… hahahaha!” Xia Yao couldn’t hold it, laughed till tears streamed.
[Resentment value from Luo Tianxiang +1000!]
No one knew how he’d survived the month!
Even his dad eyed him with disgust.
Anyone knowing their son’s office antics would question life…
“You think that vid still packs a punch? Go on, release it!”
“Let’s see which rag dares print it!”
“Don’t think I can’t read you! Dare show in Songjiang Lingwu!”
“I’ll Luo Tianxiang cripple you!”
Jiangnan ignored him, fiddled with his phone.
Luo Tianxiang, “What? Trash! Can’t even muster a comeback?”
“What’re you doing?”
Jiangnan, all matter-of-fact, “Me? Posting the vid?”
Luo Tianxiang: ???
Damn!
You’re actually doing it!
[Resentment value from Luo Tianxiang +1000!]
“You dare!”
Jiangnan pouted, “Sister Xia Yao, this bloke’s odd, he literally told me to post!”
“Having second thoughts?”
Luo Tianxiang’s eyes bulged red, no way he’d let Jiangnan post.
Media spin took time!
Who the fuck expected on-the-spot upload?
“Hand it over!”
Eyes wild, Luo Tianxiang lunged to snatch!
Jiangnan, arm round Xia Yao’s waist, blinked away in a flash.
Luo Tianxiang: !!!
“Tsk! You wait!”
Where’s time for threats? He whipped out his phone, dialled frantically, “Oi! Mr Ma! Favour, he really posted…”
“Oi! Brother Liu! That thing I mentioned last time!”
“Oi! Brother Ma, crap! Why’s it not connecting!”
Luo Tianxiang sweated buckets, mad calls.
Jiangnan had whisked Xia Yao to a side table.
Xia Yao’s face alight with thrill, “Wow! Teleport! First time for me! So exhilarating!”
Jiangnan, “Love that wide-eyed innocence of yours!”
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +999!]
“Ow! Don’t pinch! Hurts hurts hurts!”
“Hmph! Cheeky! So, did you really post that vid?” Xia Yao, eyes sparkling with hope.
Jiangnan chuckled slyly, “Nah! Got bigger plans!”
Xia Yao perked up, “Spill, what’s the naughty scheme?”
Jiangnan nipped her ear, “Goo girl~ goo goo goo~”
“Heehee! You’re so wicked! I love it!”
…
Meanwhile, the wheat-toned lady frowned and tracked down Luo Tianxiang!
He’d been on the phone half an hour, battery dead, throat parched!
Still jittery as hell.
“Xiaoxiang, who’re you calling?”
Luo Tianxiang blinked, “Cousin? Back from Oz?”
Yu Ruonan, “Answer me!”
“N… nothing!”
“You know that buzz-cut hunk?”
Clearly, her focus was Jiangnan!
Luo Tianxiang itched with hate, “Know him! How not? I’d know him from ashes!”
Yu Ruonan stared, “He’s not a waiter?”
“Ever seen a Bronze three-star, space-ability waiter?”
Yu Ruonan’s face flushed crimson!
He… not a waiter?
A guest the Zhongs invited?
Then that room card she gave…
Yu Ruonan was mortified!
Wanted to crawl into a hole!
Resentment exploded inside!
Not a waiter, why wear their gear?
What kinda freak kink?
Luo Tianxiang: ???
Mention Jiangnan and you blush?
Could his cousin fancy Jiangnan too…
Bloody hell!
Jiangnan! This ain’t over!
