Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

“What?” Ji Weixi looked at Mo Nanfeng innocently, putting her chin on both hands. “You are the heir of Mo Group, so three hundred thousand should be peanuts to you... or could it be that you can’t let go what happened four years ago, and still hate me?”

With Mo Group bankrupt, he wouldn’t be able to afford thirty thousand —much less three hundred thousand. It would leave him worse off than a beggar.

And she would love to see him pay that sum.

“No, no.” Mo Nanfeng quickly denied. “Well... what is the full cost?”

“That would depend on whether you’re going for something simple or elaborate, as well as the fabric.” Ji Weixi continued the duping in a businesslike manner. “Mo Nanfeng, I believe in the bottom of my heart that a man of your identity only deserves the highest-grade fabric and the best of designs, which puts the full cost somewhere around several million. Of course, that’s just the price of a car for you, right?”

The woman’s gaze was crystal clear and her words sounded especially sincere, and yet contained an irresistible charm.

On the other hand, while Mo Nanfeng was keeping a calm exterior, his hands were sweating nervously beneath the table.

That was the first time he felt that it was so difficult to pay three hundred thousand.

“Weixi, I actually don’t think the suit needs to be that fancy. Nowadays I like being subtle instead of showing off.”

Ji Weixi held her hand over her mouth. She almost laughed out loud.

Such a liar, neither blinking nor blushing.

“Subtle, huh. Then should I design the cheapest set?” she asked, offering him a way out.

Mo Nanfeng quickly nodded in acceptance, but grinned when he realized that it was too revealing. “You know it, it’s just a ceremony... throwing away a whole suit after wearing it once is a little wasteful.”

“Then pay the deposit of two hundred thousand.” Ji Weixi replied.

Mo Nanfeng inhaled sharply but forced a smile. “Well... Weixi, I forgot to bring my card with me. May I make the deposit into your account in a few days?”

“Sure,” Ji Weixi smiled politely. “Actually, you should deposit the amount to my company’s account without going through me.”

So that he knows she wouldn’t be embezzling him.

With that, she rose and left.

Mo Nanfeng followed behind her, his eyes running all over her body.

Ji Weixi always wore formal attire to work: a white shirt, a dark high waist skirt.

Mo Nanfeng could see her hips shifting every step she took, and those long, white legs of hers.

He swallowed, regretting in that very moment.

Why did he choose Ji Jianing four years ago?

Meanwhile.

Huixing Entertainment Corporation.

“Jianing, news about you is spreading across the whole world. I would like to help, but I can’t...” Eve, Ji Jianing’s manager began.

Ji Jianing had been crying, which left two long trails of tears over her face as she promptly turned to Eve. “You are leaving me too?”

Eve nodded, troubled. “You understand, Jianing. I don’t want that to happen, but the company told me to stay out of this. It’s clear that they are giving up on you.”

“No!” Ji Jianing rose to her feet and roared. “Why would they? I signed a four-year contract! I’m a up and coming star! I have so many, so many fans... I... I’m popular!”

Eve sighed at length, but advise her earnestly, “The company has said that the contract is annulled, but would pay you ten million in damages. Wake up, Jianing. What use is your popularity? Everyone is cursing you now! You made a mistake—you should never have had an affair with Jiang Zhuonan!”

“At first, it was just about you and Li Shaoling, and then suddenly Jiang Zhuonan was dragged into it. His company is in a mess and their bosses had already come asking for blood. It’s best for you to leave now, what’s wrong with ten million?”

“No! no!” Ji Jianing grabbed a flowerpot by the window and smashed it into the floor, screaming hysterically, “Lin Xiaoman was protected when he was caught last time, but why wasn’t I? My career has barely started, why are you treating me like this? That’s not what all of you said when I signed the contract!”

Shards of the pot and the soil within splashed all over, and Eve recoiled in fright.

Still, pressing her hand over her heard, her face turned cold. “Ji Jianing, enough! This is not the Ji family which tolerates your whims! The company had provided you the best resources when you signed on, giving you the best public relations... even I had to tear up my contract with my former client to partner with you! And don’t you know the backing Lin Xiaoman has? Do you have that?”

“I have Li Shaoling!” Ji Jianing yelled between sobs.

Her Shaoling would definitely save her.
