Little Miss Devil: The President’s Mischievous Wife Chapter 241

“It’s your Luo Yin who disrespected me. Did you know what she told me? She said that I’m not worthy enough to compete with you. Much less walk on the same path as you. She then claimed that you own this city and its people so my defeat for this afternoon is inevitable.”
Lu Xinyi then sighed dramatically. “I came here because of the Shen Matriarch’s request. She said that this town has a lot to offer, and locals are very hospitable. Have I known that the locals of this town spite tourists and guests like me, I shouldn’t have accepted her invitation.”
As soon as those words came out from Lu Xinyi’s mouth, Mo Lihui froze. Luo Yin opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Did they hear her right? Did Lu Xinyi just say she was sent here by the Shen Matriarch herself?
Luo Yin shivered in fear. Everyone knew how the Shen family crushed anyone who dared to offend them. If Lu Xinyi came back to the Shen Matriarch asking for help, Luo Yin and her mistress’s careers would be over!
“I can’t believe that I’ll be embarrassed by a servant from your restaurant. I was looking forward to a friendly competition. This wasn’t what I’m expecting when I came to this town.” Lu Xinyi started to sob, her small shoulders shaking.
Comparing Lu Xinyi’s smaller frame against Luo Yin’s, people suspected Luo Yin was starting another issue again! How could a delicate and small woman harm Luo Yi who had a much taller and larger frame?
What’s more, Luo Yin offended someone close to the Shen family of all people! Luo Yin had crossed the line this time.
“Miss Lu! I assure you, you are very much welcome in this town! Don’t let that woman ruin our town’s image because of her nasty mouth!”
“Don’t believe her lies! Luo Yin’s rampant lies are well-known here! She’s just trying to put an edge between you and Mo Lihui!”
As they watched Lu Xinyi sobbed, people pitied her; and their views on Luo Yin and Mo Lihui started to change.
“Shame! You bring shame to our town for bullying outsiders!”
“You should be ashamed of yourselves! Why are you trying to demoralize Miss Lu?”
“You want the truth? Then I’ll tell you the truth!” Lu Xinyi cried with fake tears in her eyes. “This woman came to deliver the said gift but not for me. It was for that gentleman working with me! He didn’t accept the gift from her so Miss Luo said hurtful words to me and to my subordinate. My Yang Liqing here couldn’t take it anymore. She just defended me and slapped her.”
“Luo Yin came here to deliver Mo Lihui’s gift to my mistress’s man! How did they expect her to react to such a shameless act?” Yang Liqing added.
What? The town’s people couldn’t believe that Luo Yin started this commotion just because Miss Lu’s man declined her mistress’s gifts! Did Mo Lihui plan to seduce Miss Lu’s lover and steal him from her? How shameless!
Mo Lihui was flustered; her face turned beet red in shame. In the public’s eyes, she sounded like a desperate woman trying to get a man’s attention. She didn’t think that Luo Yin was stupid enough to ruin her plans to get Shen Yi’s attention.
Luo Yin could not refute Lu Xinyi’s claims as no one had really seen or heard what had been said between them except Shen Yi.
Seeing that Lu Xinyi’s acting and bending of the events was way better than her and Luo Yin’s, Mo Lihui became anxious.
“Don’t believe this liar! Would you rather believe an outsider than listening to me?” Luo Yin refused to back down.
Because of her arrogant tone, everyone’s eyes now turned to her—filled with disgust.
“You deserve that slap, Luo Yin! If I’d personally witness your rudeness to Miss Lu, I’ll do the same thing!”
“Why are you making an issue between Miss Lu and Lady Mo? Is this your plan to distract Miss Lu?”
“Blue Haven is popular enough. The competition is open to any restaurants who want to flourish and introduce their dishes to everyone. Don’t tell me Mo Lihui is teaching Luo Yin to make problems for Lu Xinyi?”
At this moment, Luo Yin realized that no one would believe her. She could only look at Mo Lihui for help.
Now that the tables were turned against them, Mo Lihui started to panic. It was bad enough that Shen Yi was watching the scene where everyone’s questioning her motive. Everyone was siding with Lu Xinyi.
“I think this is a misunderstanding between Miss Lu and Luo Yin.” Mo Lihui adjusted her eyeglasses and released her assistant’s arm.
“Miss Mo! It’s really her that started this problem!”
“Enough of that nonsense, Luo Yin! Apologize to Miss Lu!”
No matter what, Mo Lihui wouldn’t allow for Shen Yi to see her in a bad light. At this time, if she dared to offend Lu Xinyi, then she wouldn’t be able to face Shen Yi in the future. For this reason, she didn’t mind Luo Yin to suffer humiliation—just to save her own reputation.
“But Miss Mo…” Luo Yin couldn’t understand why Mo Lihui was distancing herself now. Why was there such coldness in her eyes? What had she done wrong?
“Apologize to Miss Lu at this instance!” Mo Lihui stressed out.
Knowing that Mo Lihui was really angry now, Luo Yin’s body shook in fear and tried to suppress her tears.
Unfair. Her young miss should be protecting her. This was Luo Yin’s thoughts as she faced the mocking gaze of Lu Xinyi.
“I was wrong for offending Miss Lu. This lowly one begs for Miss Lu’s forgiveness.” She lowered her head to hide the tears that welled up in her eyes, her hands clenching the side of her white apron.
