Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 746 - The Curse (21)

Zhao Ming tapped her fingers on the table and scoffed in disbelief when she heard them calling her naive. Didn't they have any better words to describe her? She would have been happy if they had called her bitch but naive a straight insult to her character.

Feeling unaware of her wronged feelings, Xie Rouxi smiled at Xinyi and said, " We can blackmail her with her mother. Doesn't she become soft when it comes to her mother? We just need to do the same."

Zhao Ming pursed her lips hearing her words and scoffed, " Arghh...I lost my appetite. Why can't people stop bitching about other people and let everyone eat in peace?" She said in a loud voice, making Xinyi and Rouxi frown at her seeing her getting annoyed for no reason.

Zhao Ming looked at the waiter and called him,?"Get us a bill. Also, packed all the remaining dishes. I can't even eat in peace here. Why can't people go somewhere else if they want to keep talking loudly? It's not like we're paying to hear their annoying voices " she commented coldly.

Ji Cheng looked at the piece of pizza in his hand and then at Zhao Ming who stood up and was glancing at the duo of mother and daughter who were sitting opposite to their table. He placed it back on the plate and sighed, " She can't sit tight without fighting, can she?" he murmured with a smirk.

The times she used to argue with Xiao Li or Empress Dowager started to flash in his mind. She has always been bold and fearless when it comes to inviting trouble. The first time she argued with Xiao Li and Wen Xu when she woke up from the state of being unconscious shocked him but it made him admire her even more.

He looked at the women who were talking ill about Zhao Ming and were now staring at her in confusion and bewilderment.

Xie Xinyi glanced at Rouxi before turning to Zhao Ming, " Excuse me? Are you talking about us?" she asked in confusion, seeing the woman's odd reaction. They were not even talking about her, then why was she getting triggered?

Zhao Ming turned to Xinyi who was looking at her in confusion and scoffed, " Of course it's you. Who else is talking so loudly other than you two?"

"...."

Xie Rouxi frowned at the girl who was talking back to Xinyi arrogantly and slammed the table with a force, " You! What is your problem? Do you think you own this restaurant? We can talk about whatever we want. What has it gotten to do with you? What an attention seeker!" She spatted.

The woman was wearing a white dress with a brown overcoat. Although her facial features were gentle, making her appear innocent and graceful, her words are sharper than she looks.

" Mom, please!" Xinyi placed a hand over Xie Rouxi's to calm her down and not talk this way.

She glanced at Ji Cheng who was sitting opposite Zhao Ming calmly and was sipping on the glass of water. She raised her brows in surprise as he was watching them with interest without saying a word. She pursed her lips and couldn't help but blush to see his idol-like looks.

'Is he a model? He does look like one.' she wondered and smiled shyly at him.

She cleared her throat and stood up, she faced Zhao Ming and said, " I am sorry if we bothered you guys. I apologize for my mother's rude behavior. We weren't trying to be loud, do you want me to pay for your meal as compensation?" she asked gently and glanced at Ji Cheng who was minding his own business.

Zhao Ming raised her brows seeing her acting innocent.

"By the way, I am Xie Xinyi. The Vice President of Gu Corporations. And you're?" she pulled out her business card from her purse and offered it to Ji Cheng, while Zhao Ming who fought with her stared at her in a daze, puzzled by her shameless actions.

Even Xie Rouxi was also shocked to see her daughter acting gentle and sophisticated all of a sudden.

Zhao Ming saw what Xinyi was doing and scoffed in disbelief. Since she can't get Liwei, she is now hitting on Ji Cheng with her foxy looks? Hah! Some people can never change.

Ji Cheng was surprised when Xinyi approached him with her business card and glanced at her casually before removing his gaze from her, ignoring her existence.

Xie Xinyi pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed she extended her hand again, " Aren't you gonna take it? You look like a model, I wish we can work together in the future. Is she your sister? She is quite sensitive, isn't she?" she giggled innocently, only to make Zhao Ming angrier even more.

Sister? So she was saying that Ji Cheng and I look like siblings? Has she gone mad or what?

She scoffed and snatched the business card from her hand and raised her brows while reading the name on it, " Vice President Xie Xinyi? Your name doesn't match your personality at all. " she asked coldly, making Xinyi's expressions turn dark.

" What do you mean?" Xinyi frowned.

" Your name means joy and harmony but you're a jealous bitch who tries to hit on others' husbands. How can a Vice President of a company be so clueless to calling someone else's husband their sibling? Can't you even sense the atmosphere? You were just talking about someone else's husband and now you're hitting on my husband? How shameless!" Zhao Ming spatted at Xinyi, making her expressions turn crimson from embarrassment.

Husband? Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the man and then at Zhao Ming. She was not expecting him to be married, who marries so early?

She bit her lower lip when she noticed the people in the restaurant whispering to each other about them.

Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming when she called him her 'husband'. He pursed his lips upon remembering the time when he told her to not call him by his name. It was not her fault that she changed bodies with Zhao Ming but he blamed her for everything and even insisted Shen Jia bring Zhao Ming back to the world.

" How dare you? You are the one who started the argument and now you're blaming my daughter for hitting on your husband? Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Who could tell that he is your husband? " Xie Rouxi stood up and walked to Zhao Ming who was throwing insults at her daughter.

" I am not crazy, but you guys make me sick. And yes, your daughter was hitting on my husband. However, don't even think about it. I might look gentle and soft but I know martial arts. I won't hesitate to give you a neck slice, Shoo." She glared at Xinyi and pretended to give her a neck slice, which scared her and she stumbled backward while staring at her in horror, only to be held by Xie Rouxi who got surprised as well.

" Madam, this is your bill and takeout." Zhao Ming glanced at the waiter who was holding their takeout. She passed him the black card that Liwei has given to her in the morning.

Xinyi and Rouxi both stared at the black card in shock and wondered who is this woman to have the capability to have a black card since it was not something that everyone can have. Zhao Ming smirked, " Don't let me find you bad-mouthing about someone again, I will pull out this tongue of yours and throw you into the mountains. You don't know how ruthless I can be." She threatened Xinyi before walking out of the restaurant.

Staying for months at the palace, she was now used to this much cruelty, and sending someone to the mountains doesn't even sound like a bad idea to her.

Xinyi's hands trembled as she plopped on the chair behind her, " What kind of crazy woman is she?"

Xie Rouxi knitted her brows and glanced towards the door, " She is surely a nutcase. Don't bother yourself with such stupid people."

Jian Yan who was sitting on a far corner table with his face covered with the cap watching the whole drama unfolding raised his brows seeing the way Zhao Ming dealt with Xinyi and Rouxi single-handedly. He recognized Xinyi when she entered the restaurant with his mother as after Xie Ming's scandal about her bullying in the school, he tried to find more about her.

At that time he found out about Xinyi and how they are related to each other. His lips curled in a smile seeing how that strange woman called out Xinyi in the public and taught her a lesson.
