After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 493 - 494: You can only look at me, or else I’ll show you!
The emotions in Qin Mobai’s eyes and the movement of his Adam’s apple, only Lou Xi understands what this means.
She knows all too well how Qin Mobai looks when he wants something.
This man doesn’t know how to restrain himself even during a banquet.
"Alright, I won’t look at you anymore."
"Not looking at me, who do you want to look at?" Qin Mobai stood close to Lou Xi, almost whispering.
"In any case, it’s not you."
"You can only look at me. Otherwise, you’ll be sorry."
"Childish."
Their conversation back and forth made Lou Xi almost forget Bai Lu, who went to celebrate Old Mrs. Lu’s birthday.
Until a cry and the sound of something breaking came from over there.
Everyone’s eyes turned in that direction, looking at Bai Lu who seemed a bit flustered.
The box she originally held fell to the ground, rolled twice, and the porcelain tea set inside fell out and shattered!
That was the birthday gift Bai Lu prepared for Old Mrs. Lu, just like that it fell and broke on the ground.
And Shen Ruozhuo stood in front of Bai Lu, apologetically saying, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to."
The person apologizing showed no hint of remorse in her eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Lu obviously couldn’t start a fight with Shen Ruozhuo, and it was her first time meeting Lu Li’s family; she couldn’t get angry, she couldn’t get angry. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"It’s okay." Bai Lu said suppressing her anger.
Of course, Shen Ruozhuo wouldn’t let things end just because Bai Lu said "it’s okay."
"I feel really bad for breaking the gift you were going to give Grandma Lu." Shen Ruozhuo crouched down to pick up the shattered pieces of the porcelain tea set, "I bumped into you accidentally, I’ll pay you back for it."
Bai Lu didn’t know what this woman was really trying to do, so she didn’t respond.
Shen Ruozhuo examined the porcelain carefully, giving her expert critique, "This porcelain tea set is painted very well, but the firing is immature. The base of the cup has cracks. Did Miss Bai not notice when she bought it? This tea set is probably worth just ten or twenty thousand."
Upon hearing "ten or twenty thousand" from Shen Ruozhuo, the discussions in the banquet hall grew louder.
"What kind of person is this, giving Old Mrs. Lu a gift of a tea set worth just ten or twenty thousand?"
"Yeah, are they treating her like a beggar!"
Standing amidst the crowd, Bai Lu instantly flushed red with embarrassment and didn’t know what to do.
This tea set cost her most of her part-time job salary, but now it was described as worthless.
And the broken tea set meant her salary went down the drain, even before she could give it away.
"Shen Ruozhuo, that’s enough!" Lu Li suddenly pulled Bai Lu behind him, initially believing Shen Ruozhuo’s apology was sincere, yet it turned out to be mocking in public.
Lu Li, protective by nature, could not stand others humiliating Bai Lu like this.
Shen Ruozhuo looked innocently at Lu Li, as if unaware of any wrongdoing.
"Mr. Lu, I already apologized to Miss Bai." Shen Ruozhuo, renowned in the social circle as elegant and graceful, was now pushed to the verge of tears by Lu Li.
The crowd couldn’t help but sympathize with Shen Ruozhuo, feeling Lu Li had chosen a willful woman.
Xi Siwei appeared just in time, holding Shen Ruozhuo in his embrace.
"It’s not your fault, you didn’t accidentally bump into her on purpose." Xi Siwei calmly comforted Shen Ruozhuo, "Lu Li, direct your anger at me, Ruozhuo is a girl, show some tolerance."
Lu Li: "..."
"Alright." Old Mrs. Lu suddenly spoke, bringing an end to this farce.
