Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 706 - Do Not Humiliate Yourself Any Further (2)

"W-what?" Mo Qingfan stared back at her in shock, not expecting that Su Jingyi would talk to him like that.

According to his parents, Su Jingyi had a mild temperament and had good etiquette, ideal to become a wife to a person who had a bright future waiting for him.

Su Jingyi narrowed her eyes and looked at him as if he was truly a fool for daring to underestimate Yun Zhen. She hated pretentious people like Mo Qingfan the most. He had just met Yun Zhen and didn't know much about him, but he dared to humiliate Yun Zhen in front of her family.

As a person who had been with Yun Zhen for over a decade, how could she just watch a stranger humiliate him in her own home? She could overlook the fact that Mo Qingfan thought that she was a manager of a small team at Yun Group, but to look down on Yun Zhen didn't sit well on her.

"You heard me right. I won't repeat myself." Su Jingyi said, her gaze sharpening on Mo Qingfan. "But since we are here and he didn't make a proper introduction earlier, let me introduce him."

She glanced at Yun Zhen who didn't seem bothered at all by Mo Qingfan's impertinence. They both knew that Mo Qingfan wasn't the first person who misunderstood Yun Zhen anyway. No matter how visible and popular Yun Zhen was, they don't expect people to recognize him as some kind of a celebrity.

Still, whether Yun Zhen was a CEO of a huge company or not, even if he's a regular office worker, what made Mo Qingfan think that he had the rights to insult her guest?

"Mo Qingfan, you must know by now that I've only worked for one company ever since I graduated and it is true that I used to work with Mr. Yun for a long time." She paused, trying to gauge Yun Zhen's reaction.

"Mr. Mo, this is Yun Zhen, the current CEO of Yun Group. I'm pretty sure you've heard his name, considering how proactive you are these days within the circle." Su Jingyi announced, heightening the awkward atmosphere between them.

Yun Zhen had been the CEO of the Yun Group for over ten years now and he was just a young man, a fresh graduate from university, when he defeated his other brothers to ascend to his current position. News said that he had a fierce battle with his brothers until he eventually rose victorious above the rest.

What rumors failed to acknowledge was Su Jingyi's participation throughout it all. She had become Yun Zhen's shield and companion for the longest time. People who knew them well knew how much they needed each other. They would be nothing without the other.

"C-CEO Yun?" Mo Qingfan stuttered, his face lost its colors as he realized how f.u.c.k.e.d up his situation was.

"Yes?" Yun Zhen replied, raising a slender brow towards the other man.

His current company was trying to secure a deal with the Yun Group recently, but to think he would offend Yun Zhen of all the people tonight, Mo Qingfan realized how doomed he was once this event reached the ears of his superiors.

What bright future? If Yun Zhen decided to be petty enough to get even with him, Mo Qingfan would have to kiss goodbye to his ambitions. He realized how supid he was for even trying to humiliate Yun Zhen and to paint himself as a better prospective groom for Su Jingyi.

But all of that was for naught as he didn't interest Su Jingyi one bit and his attitude today had ruined his chances to ever have her as his wife. Not that Su Jingyi wanted to marry him anyway. She was disgusted by him.

Yun Zhen pretended like nothing had happened and continued with his meal, casually chatting with Father Su while Mo Qingfan didn't utter a single word anymore, losing his appetite for dinner.

It didn't take long before he decided to leave without finishing his meal. After bidding goodbye to the Sus, Mo Qingfan immediately left their home, pretending that he had forgotten to do something.

"He must have forgotten his brain somewhere." Su Jingli stealed a chicken from his sister's plate, much to her chagrin.

"Hey! That's mine!" She exclaimed. Now that Mo Qingfan had left, the atmosphere around them became lighter and more casual.

"It's a pity that he became an arrogant fellow. His parents are kind and decent people. I wonder what happened to him." Mother Su cupped the side of her face then regarded Yun Zhen. "Mr. Yun, I hope you forgive us. We didn't expect Qingfan to act like that."

"It's quite alright, Madam. We can't control how people think and act, but we can control how we react to them. Mr. Mo might have blindly assumed that I wasn't as good as him." Yun Zhen said in response. "It's not too late for him to change anyway."

Their dinner continued without Mo Qingfan and Yun Zhen felt full from the amount of food he'd eaten tonight. He couldn't remember when was the last time he had a hearty meal like this.

Mother Su placed a plate full of sliced melons, which instantly brightened Su Jingyi's face since it was her favorite.

"So Mr. Yun, may we know what brings you here?" Father Su asked, knowing that they couldn't avoid this topic any longer.

"I'm here to ask your daughter for a date if that's quite alright with you." Yun Zhen said with a straight face.

Su Jingyi stopped eating her sliced melon midway and stared at Yun Zhen wide eyed, her brain short circuiting for the second time tonight. Was she hearing things or did Yun Zhen just asked her parents' permission to court her?
