Chapter 303 The Harmful Male Fox

Chen Ningxi arrived at work and immediately called Cheng Qiaobei. It must have been him who tattled—this man actually went to the "parents."

Seeing her number, Cheng Qiaobei hesitated for a moment, then strode out of his office and stopped at Wei Lai's desk with a business-like demeanor, saying:

"Answer this call for me."

Wei Lai thought it was about declining a dinner meeting, but when she took the phone and saw the word "Wife" on the screen, she looked up at him with a puzzled expression that clearly asked, "What's going on?"

Cheng Qiaobei cleared his throat. There was no way he could admit that he'd tattled to his mother-in-law and angered his wife, so he made up a serious-sounding excuse and said:

"I broke her new lipstick this morning. Tell her I'm in a meeting."

Lipstick is indeed quite significant to some women, especially a new one that hasn't been used much.

Adhering to the spirit of "understanding is everything," Wei Lai decided to help him out this once.
