Chapter 45 On Your Knees

At this moment, she was regretful for her superiority and cheeky thoughts that made her lose her decent and high-paying job.

But there was not use crying over spilled milk.

She brought this upon herself.

At the eleventh floor.

Mu Xia and Situ Hai had waited in the meeting room for almost half an hour. But the people from the Ye Group were nowhere to be seen.

A staff came in between to refill the water for them, and he asked the staff for them, but the staff couldn't answer.

Situ Hai was getting anxious as time went by.

「Did the Ye Group found out that Xia was from the countryside, and they're trying to back out because she might not fit the image of an ambassador?」

Situ Hai stood up.

They had already signed the contract.「 All we needed was the stamp from the Ye Group, and the deal for the ambassador would be sealed. How could I afford to lose this collaboration?」

Situ Hai lost the glistening gaze he had on Mu Xia before and felt her useless.

"What's your education level? Did you graduated from high school?" Situ Hai asked coldly.

When Mu Xia was about to make up a story, someone opened the meeting room door.

Both of them looked towards the door at the same time. Headed by Ye Sijue, around ten higher-ups from Ye Group came in.

Most of them were prominent figures in the business circle. Situ Hai stared in surprise.

At the same time, he was also in a panic.

"Y-Young Master Ye…" Situ Hai stuttered his words, "D-do you think my daughter's educational background is too low, so you don't want her? I can find someone to help with her studies. Even though she might be dimwitted and cowardly, but if we package her nicely, I think we can continue our collaboration. We can even negotiate again about the remuneration…"

"Dimwitted and cowardly?"

A hint of amusement flashed under Ye Sijue's eyes, and he chuckled under his breath.

「Was he talking about Xia? It seems like Situ Hai does not know his own daughter.」

The information showed that it was not long after Mu Xia had returned to the Situ family. If she hid it purposely, it would indeed be difficult to understand her. Because even he wasn't sure what kind of person was Mu Xia.

Situ Hai was afraid to look directly at Ye Sijue. When Situ Hai heard a chuckle from Ye Sijue, he thought that he guessed Ye Sijue's thoughts correctly.

Situ Hai quickly added, "My daughter is very honest. She would definitely cooperate with you earnestly. Please give her another chance!"

After he finished his words, he turned his head towards Mu Xia and commanded, "Xia, come over here and get down on your knees!"

"Get down on my knees?" Mu Xia thought she had known Situ Hai well, but what he said today had given her a whole new perspective of him.

Situ Hai was furious when he saw Mu Xia didn't budge an inch. He roared, "Why are you still there? Get your ass here now!"

He didn't show Mu Xia any respect at all.

Mu Xia bit her lips. This was the first time she felt such humiliation in her life.

She never kneeled to anyone. But…if this was for the sake of finding the truth and avenge for her mom, she was willing to do anything.

Mu Xia clenched her fist and walked forward.

But when she set her foot out, Ye Sijue suddenly spoke, "Mr. Situ, there might be some misunderstanding here. We're not dissatisfied with Ms. Mu. On the contrary, we feel that Ms. Mu is perfect for the role of our ambassador. We just have to verify some minor details with Ms. Mu again."

Mu Xia looked at Ye Sijue in shock. His expression was cold as if he was suppressing his anger.

「He is angry? But why?」
