FMLRWS Chapter 688

Looking at Hua Feifei dressed in designer clothes and the other rich girls she brought along—Zhou Yao, Luo Xi, and Jiang Yanyan—no one expected that during payment, they would actually come up short.

The waiter had seen plenty of women trying to show off, so this wasn’t surprising to him.

However, the onlookers stared with disdain.

Zhang Yan was one of them.

She was dining with the new manager she’d just hooked up with. They were not far from Luo Xi and the others but hadn’t noticed them at first. If it weren’t for the waiter speaking, she might not have realized she would see Luo Xi here.

Ever since she lost her job due to Luo Xi’s actions last time, she had held a grudge. She originally thought Luo Xi was the president’s girlfriend and didn’t dare provoke her. Who would have thought she was actually a mistress!

Anger and schadenfreude surged within her. She began to diss Luo Xi wildly on Weibo, only to attract a lot of attention.

But just when things were heating up, it all inexplicably vanished.

Zhang Yan knew there must be some insider connections helping Luo Xi get away with it, which made her extremely unhappy. But she had no way to gather information on Luo Xi. Her followers on Weibo grew restless waiting for updates, they began to question whether she was making things up to slander Luo Xi, infuriating Zhang Yan.

Now she had her chance.

Zhang Yan took out her phone, recorded a video, and secretly posted it on Weibo with the caption: “Could it be that she was abandoned by her sugar daddy? She couldn’t even afford a meal?”

She then looked at the man across from her who was also watching the show. “Honey, that’s a familiar face. Do you want to go over and say hello?”

“Your friend?” The man, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, looking every bit an elite, looked at Luo Xi and her group of women. Seeing that they were all beautiful, his eyes lit up with lust, and he nodded.

“How about we pay this time?” Luo Xi stood up and spoke.

Hua Feifei turned red and she insisted, “No, I said I’ll treat you. For the past two months, I’ve been angry at my dad and didn’t take the pocket money from him. But it’s fine, I’ll borrow a little from my mom.” With that, she took out her phone to make a call.

Although everyone felt a bit exasperated by her stubbornness, they didn’t want to embarrass her.

“Oh, isn’t this our CEO’s girlfriend? How come she can’t even pay for her meal? Do you need me to lend you some money?”

A mocking laughter rang out, drawing everyone’s attention.

Hua Feifei waited for her mother to pick up the call, but after a long time there was no answer. Just as she was getting annoyed, she heard this gloating laughter. She looked over to see a strange woman. She immediately frowned. “Who is this? Do you know her?”

Jiang Yanyan and Zhou Yao exchanged a glance and shook their heads. “No, we don’t know her.”

Luo Xi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I don’t know her either.”

“Excuse me, do you need something?” Hua Feifei finally turned to Zhang Yan, whose smile was a little stiff, and asked with a frown.

Zhang Yan snapped back to reality from Luo Xi’s words of not knowing her and sneered, “Miss Luo really has a bad memory. Did you forget that I lost my job because of you when I left the Leng Group?”

“Oh? And then?” Luo Xi raised an eyebrow at her.

“You, what’s there to be proud of? You’re just a mistress who ruined someone else’s relationship. You shamelessly entered the company and targeted us employees. Now you can’t even afford a meal. Looks like you’ve been dumped by the president?” Zhang Yan mocked.

“What? A mistress?” Hua Feifei and the others exchanged shocked glances. “Miss, what are you talking about?”

Seeing their clueless expressions, Zhang Yan shot a gloating look at Luo Xi. “Tsk, tsk, so you all didn’t know? This woman being a mistress was all over Weibo not long ago.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hua Feifei and the others darkened. They hadn’t been paying attention to online gossip because of work and were now shocked to learn so much had happened.

But could Luo Xi really be a mistress? Was that even possible?

“Are you kidding? Our Xixi could never be a mistress!”

“If you don’t believe it, go online and see for yourself. You can still find it there. But since we used to be colleagues, if you really can’t pay today, I can lend you some money.”

“Ladies, I can cover this meal for you. Let’s be friends,” the man in the suit took out a gold card.

They couldn’t help but laugh in anger. No money? For a meal? Lend them some?

“Xixi, Yanyan, it looks like I really have to trouble you today.” Hua Feifei sneered and extended a hand to her three friends.

They paused for a moment, then took out their cards and handed them over to her. Hua Feifei glanced at the brilliant black cards, threw a disdainful look at the dazed Zhang Yan, and handed them to the waiter. “Check, please.”

The waiter was taken aback but quickly responded and carefully accepted the card.

After paying the bill, the women strutted out of the restaurant under the astonished gazes of everyone.

Only then did Hua Feifei and the others turn to Luo Xi to ask about Zhang Yan’s matter. Luo Xi explained what had happened, and upon hearing it, the three of them immediately looked disdainful.

“Look at Weibo, this woman is actually slandering you!” Hua Feifei scrolled through Weibo, originally wanting to find what Zhang Yan had said, but a quick search revealed it. The top post was Zhang Yan’s, saying Luo Xi was abandoned by her sugar daddy and couldn’t even afford a meal.

She was furious.

Moreover, the video wasn’t blurred at all. Their four faces were clearly visible. Luo Xi, a fashion blogger with nearly twenty million followers, was quickly recognized.

With a mixture of onlookers and curious fans, many expressed disbelief.

Luo Xi’s popularity was evident. She had recently played a role in a TV series. Although she hadn’t pursued a career in the entertainment industry, she was known for a brief period. Now that she was recognized, her fans erupted in an uproar.

Before long, old rumors resurfaced and were used to attack her.

The stories of Luo Xi in employee attire climbing into the president’s luxury car, being a mistress for a well-known company, and all sorts of nasty words were circulating.

Zhang Yan probably never thought that the impact would be so big. She only wanted to expose Luo Xi but didn’t realize she was a well-known figure. So once the news broke, it created a huge stir.

Luo Xi initially thought Hua Feifei was talking about the past events, but after glancing at the post, she realized it was a recent one.

Her expression darkened instantly.

After the previous incident, she had chosen to ignore it. She never expected that simply going out today would result in her being photographed and criticized, and now her main account has been dragged into it.
