"This . . this . . . " Fei Yan was stuttering to speak but she had nothing to say . Her face has turned a dark shade of red from embarrassment .
"Old madam," Jade King turned towards old madam and returned the basket . "Miss Song came to me last week and asked me to create this basket for you . Because the time was less I had worked day and night to create it . I am sorry, I could not tolerate when my work was being called cheap . " He apologised by bowing deeply .
"Ah! Mr . Xu, don't be apologetic . It's alright . If not for you I would not have known what this basket was actually made of until the end of the party . " What her words actually meant was 'that if not for you, my future granddaughter -in- law would have been bullied by this stupid girl . Old Madam smiled, looking proud and utterly pleased . Her grandson would never make a mistake in choosing his life partner .
"Is that a lotus in front?" The same woman who was earlier mocking Song Jia, in a hushed tone spoke loudly this time . Obviously trying to brown nose old madam .
Advertisement"Yes, that is a lotus . We all know how much old madam believes in Buddhism, President Song is indeed quite smart, to give something symbolising buddhism . " The other woman echoed along with her companion .
Fei Yan glared angrily at the ladies, who have switched their colours quicker then chameleon . Well, all she could do right now was glare . She has already thoroughly embarrassed herself and she didn't want to do it more .
Wu Zhang was in a really bad mood, how dare these people bully his sweetheart . The only thing that calmed him down was that his sweetheart came out victorious . He had originally invited her to introduce her to his family, but he was now in no mood to do it . So he pulled her away to a corner, sitting on a table next to each other and asked the waiter to bring her some food .
"I am sorry . " He looked upset . The man who ruled the business empire in the country was apologising, that too for something which was not even his fault .
"What are you apologising for?" Contrary to him, Song Jia was quite pleased . She had thoroughly enjoyed the look on Fei Yan's face .
"I didn't want to cause you trouble . " His eyes were still upset .
"Don't feel sad . I enjoyed the show . " She said with a wink . Well she face slapped her romance rival without even lifting a finger . Why would she not be happy .
Wu Zhang laughed hearing her response, feeling better now . His woman was not someone to be bullied easily . While they were still talking, the waiter brought the food for them .
"What if Jade King would not have come that time?"
"Then I would have told grandma to unwrap it . Simple . " She said sipping on her wine . Obviously she was not going to tell him that she has had a chat with Jade King before coming and has coordinated her time according to him . Thanks to Wu Zihao's warning call, that she took precaution .
"Don't drink too much . " Wu Zhang took her glass in a domineering manner and pushed the plate of food to her . The couple looked so much in love . Mo Biyu and old madam, who were observing them from a distance exchanged a look and smiled happily .
"Shall we go and meet your parents? I didn't greet them . " Song Jia asked .
"Do you want to?" He asked carefully .
"En . " She nodded her head slightly .
"Okay then let's go . " He wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin .
"Miss Song . " The couple has just gotten up, from their place when Fei Yan approached them . She was here to smoothen things that has blown out of proportion . She didn't want to get in Wu Zhang's bad books .
"Yes, Miss Fei . . . " Song Jia said with a lazy expression . She knew Fei Yan must be mad right now . She has caught it in the first meeting itself that Fei Yan liked Wu Zhang . And being a woman herself, she could clearly sense the jealousy in her eyes that Fei Yan had for her .
But Song Jia was not someone to be bullied so easily . She sure looked gentle, but she was not weak .
