Chapter 125: Throwing a Tantrum

Su Mianmian turned her head and saw a foreign woman standing beside her. She hooked onto Lu Xiangdong's arm in front of her. What was going on? Su Mianmian's mind was a mess of questions.

After a long while, Zhu Di finally seemed to notice her presence. She pouted her red lips and said, "Senior's wife?"

Her gaze was clearly filled with doubt and scrutiny.

Su Mianmian looked at her. She wasn't speaking standard mandarin. When she spat it out from her mouth, it sounded awkward.

"You are?"

Lu Xiangdong looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to introduce her, Zhu Di extended her hand and introduced herself, "I'm his junior. I used to chase after him."

What was she talking about? Senior and junior? The moment she heard this, she knew that there was something fishy going on. Su Mianmian did not want to pay too much attention to his past, but the woman in front of her made her dislike him.

"Name?" She smiled sweetly and held her hand. She did not look at Lu Xiangdong's troubled eyes.

"Zhu Di." She held the back of Su Mianmian's hand tightly.

Su Mianmian withdrew her hand and smiled. "I'm his wife. We've been married for almost two years. Since you're my husband's friend, I'll treat you well."

Zhu Di looked at her with a fake smile. "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all." She glared at Lu Xiangdong and made a gesture to invite him. "Miss Zhu Di, please get in the car."

Zhu Di did not expect the senior's wife to be so enthusiastic. She could not be bothered to be polite with her. She bent down and sat in the back seat.

"Su Mianmian!" Lu Xiangdong grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side. He asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do? Why did you let her get in the car?"

"Do you need me to tell you that? I want to invite your junior over for dinner." She flung his arm away forcefully and forced a smile at Zhu Di, who was in the car.

Even though Lu Xiangdong was dissatisfied with Su Mianmian's decision, he could not make her get out of the car. He could only open the car door and get in.

Zhu Di placed her hands on the back of his seat and tried to chat with Lu Xiangdong, who was driving.

"Senior, it's been a few years. You've changed quite a lot."

He ignored her, but Su Mianmian interjected, "He's changed a lot?"

Zhu Di turned around to chat with her.

"Senior must not have told you, sister-in-law."

This "sister-in-law" was really sweet. Su Mianmian pursed her lips and could not be bothered to care about who was older.

She nodded so that the woman could continue to talk about Lu Xiangdong's past. Lu Xiangdong's expression darkened as he said to Zhu Di, "It's been a few years since we last met. Your mouth has grown."

"Ignore him, go ahead."

Zhu Di stuck out her tongue. "I'm sorry, senior doesn't seem to be too happy. I'd better sit back down."

Su Mianmian was upset. She was just about to hear about Lu Xiangdong's past love life, but she was scared away by Lu Xiangdong. She was really useless.

They drove into the villa. Zhu Di excitedly pushed open the car door and stood outside with her hands outstretched. She smiled and said, "This villa is really big. Senior, you're really rich."

Su Mianmian took off her seatbelt. Just as she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Su Mianmian, you invited her into the house to show off tonight?"

She had forgotten about this matter. When it came to culinary skills, the dishes she cooked could barely be eaten. She couldn't take them out to entertain the guest.

"Perhaps Miss Zhu Di is used to foreign dishes and will think that my dishes are the best in the world?" She turned her head and walked away with a smile.

The best in the world? Could her dishes be called the best in the world? They could certainly be called the best poison in the world.

At first, Lu Xiangdong was worried that Zhu Di would not be used to the dishes on the table, but in reality, Zhu Di had eaten a lot of fruit before the meal was served. She did not eat much after the dishes were served. However, when Su Mianmian picked up a chili, she suddenly said, "Your wife's dishes look very bright. We don't really eat chili over there."

Su Mianmian was embarrassed.

Lu Xiangdong couldn't help but laugh. "She has a strong taste. I've given up chili."

"What's your name? Your skin looks so fair and tender. It must be the effect of chili, right?" She smiled. She looked at Su Mianmian with narrowed eyes.

"You can just call me Chengwu Su. My skin is naturally fair and tender. Others shouldn't be envious of it." Su Mianmian looked back at her with a sneer. She meant that no matter how much powder you put on your face, it wouldn't be as fair as hers.

Zhu Di swallowed. "Oh, that it is indeed." She reached out to touch her face. She had long spots on her face, and they could be removed no matter how she tried. She was very envious of those fair-skinned women. Su Mianmian was the fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman in the eyes of men.

"Senior, I think it's getting late. I'll leave. I'll go to the company to look for you tomorrow." She suddenly stood up and said goodbye to Lu Xiangdong.

"I'll send you out. You should take care of yourself when you go back so late."

"Okay, senior, don't send me off."

Su Mianmian happily picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

After he sent Zhu Di back, he saw that Su Mianmian was still sitting at the table eating. He couldn't help but cross his arms as he watched her eat.

"Why are you watching me eat? Oh, I know, you want to teach me a lesson? Am I right?" She slowly put down her chopsticks and looked up at him.

He let go of his hands that were crossed in front of his chest and walked in front of her. With one hand on the table, he met her gaze. "Su Mianmian, if you want to know about my past, you can ask me yourself. You don't have to beat around the bush to get information from others. She's just a junior who pursued me when I was studying abroad, but I rejected her. She's at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight now. She's one or two years older than you."

Su Mianmian opened her mouth. That woman was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight? She really took good care of herself. She was actually almost fooled by her looks. She had thought that Zhu Di was younger than her.

She leaned against the back of the chair with a gossipy look on her face. "She's quite photogenic. Don't all men like girls that beautiful? Why did you reject her?"

"So you're implying that you're not as good-looking as her?" The corner of his lips curled up. He put a hand on the chair behind her and pulled her into his embrace.

"She's a little bit worse than me. But that's not the point. The point is that other people flew all the way from abroad to find an old lover like you. Aren't you tempted?" She placed her hand on his chest. She playfully played with his collar. He looked very charming.

He grabbed her hands and narrowed his eyes. He moved closer to her ear and teased, "So sour. It looks like you're not completely indifferent to me."

She pinched his collar. His face was slightly red, but he did not forget to defend himself. "Don't go too far. We're talking about your junior now!"

He lowered his head to kiss her. He placed his hands firmly between the chair and her chest, and he kissed the corner of her mouth. She was kissing him until she was gasping for breath. Her hands wrapped around his neck.

His large hands traced along her beautiful curve.

Lu Xiangdong could not be satisfied with just a kiss. He leaned against her chest. His eyes were burning with desire and his voice was deep and hoarse. "Let's go upstairs."

Su Mianmian immediately came back to her senses. She was easily distracted by him, but now was not the time for her to be in love. She had to endure it.

She raised her hand and made a yawning motion. "I'm so sleepy. It's time to go upstairs and sleep."

He glared at her. He clearly felt that she wanted to have him, so why would she say that? Did she want to infuriate him?

"You're not sleepy? Then wash the dishes on the table. I'm going to sleep. I have an early shift at seven tomorrow morning." She found a very good excuse for herself and crawled out from under his hand. She ran away quickly.

Lu Xiangdong combed his hair and looked at the mess on the table. He cleaned it up slowly.

He was in the kitchen washing the dishes and smoking at the same time to ease the boredom he felt.

She had rejected him many times. More than once, he had begun to doubt his charm.

He threw the bowl into the sink, took a slow puff, and blew out a smoke ring. He looked troubled.

After he finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and rinsed off the soap on the bowls. Only when the bowls were neatly placed in the cupboard did he turn off the light and walk out of the kitchen.

Su Mianmian was right. Her shift started at seven in the morning, and at six in the morning, she started to get ready. When she got up, he was still asleep.

When she fell asleep last night, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She guessed that he must have been drenched in cold water last night. Now, he was wrapped up like a dumpling.

At six-thirty, she appeared in the airport lobby and passed through security.

Lu Xiangdong got up at six-thirty. He changed into a clean suit, spun the watch on his wrist, picked up his tie, and left the bedroom.

In his office, he bumped into Qi Chuyan, who entered at the same time as him. Qi Chuyan greeted him, "Good morning, brother Xiangdong."

He tilted his head and asked, "Have you recovered from your injury?"

"Yes, I have. That's why I've come back to work." Qi Chuyan smiled proudly as she changed into a pair of black silk stockings.

He glanced at her leg and strode forward.

Qi Chuyan was about to chase after him when a woman suddenly appeared behind her. A faint fragrance drifted over and pushed Qi Chuyan away with great force. She jumped forward and reached out to hold Lu Xiangdong's arm, looking very intimate with him.

"Good morning, Senior."

Lu Xiangdong was stunned at first, then he pulled her hand away from his arm.

"Good Morning. I'll get my assistant to accompany you to take photos nearby." His reaction was neither cold nor warm as he stepped into the elevator.

Zhu Di followed him into the elevator, and then the elevator door closed with a bang.

Qi Chuyan's face turned dark. Who was that woman? If that woman actually dared to hug brother Xiangdong's arm in front of her, she did not want to live anymore.

She angrily walked to the elevator. As she stood inside, she prepared to settle the score with that woman later.

Lu Xiangdong pushed open the office door and entered.

Zhu Di looked around and asked curiously, "Where's your wife? Didn't she go to work with you?"

He raised his head to look at her. "She's at work. She should be on a plane now."

"She's a stewardess?" she asked in surprise.

He nodded and contacted his assistant to come in. Just as he picked up the landline, the office door was suddenly knocked open. Qi Chuyan walked in.

"Chuyan, what's the matter?" He asked with a frown while holding the landline in his hand.

Qi Chuyan walked over to Zhu Di and bent down. She put her hands on her hips and asked, "Who are you? Why are you sitting here?"

Zhu Di was shocked and looked at Lu Xiangdong with a wronged expression.

"Chuyan, she's my friend. Don't cause trouble. Go out and do something."

Qi Chuyan acted as if she did not hear him. She pinched Zhu Di's chin and shook her head. "You look like a vixen. Don't think that brother Xiangdong will like you just because you dye your hair inappropriately. Dream on!"

Zhu Di was a little confused. She touched her chin and asked, "Who are you? Why are you talking about me like that?"

"I'm his sister, his biological sister," Qi Chuyan shouted at her.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment. "Senior, do you really have such a rude sister? Why don't you look like her at all?"

Qi Chuyan's face darkened. "Why don't I look like her?"

"Chuyan, have you had enough? Get Out." Lu Xiangdong walked around the office desk and grabbed her arm.

Qi Chuyan refused to go out. She kept struggling in front of him.

"Brother Xiangdong, this woman is obviously coming for you. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

"Do you think I'm not mature? I'm already thirty years old. Don't compare me to you. You're immature. Get Out. Don't act like a child." Lu Xiangdong tried his best to get her to leave his office. If she didn't leave soon, he had no idea what terrible things she would do.

A tear fell from the corner of Qi Chuyan's eye. She looked at him with some resentment. Before she left, she glared at Zhu Di fiercely, covered her face, and ran away.

Lu Xiangdong had originally wanted his assistant to accompany Zhu Di to take photos, but now that Qi Chuyan was an issue, he was worried. He had his assistant keep an eye on Qi Chuyan and decided that he would personally accompany Zhu Di to the scenic spot.

Qi Chuyan cursed as she walked. "Damn vixen, how dare you seduce brother Xiangdong in front of me? I definitely won't let you off."

The assistant behind her broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why are you following me? Get out of my way and leave me alone." She suddenly turned around and yelled at the assistant in a fierce tone. She was in a bad mood. Anyone who appeared in front of her would become a punching bag.

The assistance had been following the chairman for so many years. Now he was serving the president, and worried that he could he not handle such a little girl.

"Vice President Qi, as the saying goes, 'good advice goes against the ear and is good for action'. Although you don't like to hear it, I still have to say that you are not young anymore. You should think more about your future. The president has his career and a woman. He can't take care of you forever."

Qi Chuyan was already in a low mood. She didn't expect that even he would think that she was unnecessary. In a fit of anger, she went to a car that was parked next to her and sat in it.

The assistant came back to his senses and was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

"Vice President Qi, come down quickly. That car is-"

"No one will care about me. Let me be alone." She drove the car away, leaving the assistant alone.

The car that Qi Chuyan had drove away belonged to a client of the NEPC International Airlines. It was an expensive car. If she was in a bad mood and drove the car around randomly, it would mean that she would have to compensate the other person's car. He couldn't make the decision on this matter. It was better to inform CEO Lu.

When Lu Xiangdong received the call from his assistant, he was already in the scenic area with Zhu Di, which was quite a distance away from the city.

After listening to the assistant, Lu Xiangdong's entire body stiffened. He said to his assistant, "Think of a way to stop her from doing stupid things and contact the client. If the car is damaged, let Qi Chuyan pay for it herself. She's already so old, yet she still doesn't have any brains. It's really disappointing!"

"But CEO Lu. She's also..." The assistant swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I'm outside right now and can't make it back in time. I'll leave this matter to you." Lu Xiangdong hung up the phone.

The assistant had a headache. He had a thankless job.

For now, he had to think of a way to contact the client.

The client was having a meeting with Li Mingzhe in the conference room. Li Mingzhe received a call from the assistant and asked him to wait for a moment. He picked up the phone.

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't disturb your meeting, did I? Deputy General Manager Qi drove the client's car out of the conference room. Get the client to wait downstairs in the reception room after the meeting. I think I need to talk to him," the assistant said dejectedly.

Li Mingzhe asked out of concern, "Vice President Qi? What happened?"

He wasn't sure how to tell Li Mingzhe about her. After all, it's not normal for a younger sister to be in love with her older brother. Qi Chuyan looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet. Fortunately, President Lu was a rational person. He had a clear distinction between women. Some people can't be touched, and he was determined not to touch them. Qi Chuyan was the type of person who couldn't be touched.

"She's throwing a tantrum with President Lu. President Lu isn't free right now, so-" The assistant didn't make it clear. He didn't want President Lu to think that he was a meddlesome person.

Li Mingzhe nodded knowingly. "Alright, I won't ask any more questions. I'll just do as you say."
