CHAPTER 473

Bai Ming's face had drained of all colours when she heard Li Fengjin's words. For a moment there, she thought he would not side with Bai Renxiang.

She was happy that he would find his wife's actions as petty or extreme as Feng Yisheng had said.

But no.

He outrightly declared that anything Bai Renxiang wants, she shall get. What about her? What about the rule of first come, first serve?

'No. I can't possibly lose out now,' Bai Ming thought.

"But Mr Li, I asked first. You can't just decide in her favour because she is your wife. You can't–"

"Yes, he can."

Another voice interrupted her. The sound of shoes clicking on the marble floor grew louder as the person who spoke stepped into view.

"Mr Li has the right to decide in his wife's favour because he has paid for everything his wife wants and takes interest in," the person added.

Stopping beside Li Fengjin was a man in his late thirties. His head was held high with both hands behind his back like an ancient monk. He was none other than Manager He.

The staff lady behind heaved out a relief sigh at the sight of her manager. She thanked God for answering her prayers to send him here. This issue can best be resolved by him.

So with that off her hands, she only had to worry about whether she would lose her job or not.

While everyone was still dumbfounded by the manager's confirmation of Li Fengjin's words, he turned to his side and gave a polite nod to Li Fengjin and Bai Renxiang.

"Mr Li, Mrs Li, I am sorry for the late intervention. Please allow me to take care of this matter," Manager He said.

"Hmm. It's your space anyway," Li Fengjin shrugged.

Li Fengjin's voice snapped Feng Yisheng out of his thoughts. He glanced at the manager with confusion written all over his face.

"Excuse me. What do you mean by everything she wants and takes interest in?" He asked him to clarify his doubts.

"It is as you have heard, sir. The moment Mr Li and his wife stepped into this mall, all their expenses has been covered. So other sense, whatever practically pleases Mrs Li's eyes has been paid for," Manager He answered.

"For further explanation with proof, this is Mr Li's bank card," he moves one of his hands behind him to show a black card.

Feng Yisheng was at a loss for words to say. He was left speechless and even if he was not, what does he have to say?

However, Bai Ming could not accept her loss. "But I–"

"Miss," Manager He called. "Please, do not insist further as you have been proven wrong. My staff failed to inform you as she thought it was best to have you check out different clothes here."

Bai Ming swallowed the rest of her words as she pursed her lips. She clenched her first tight that it could have bled but did not as in the next minute, she relaxed a little.

Her eyes scanned the crowd and saw that most of them had held a look of disapproval and mockery in their eyes. She then looked back to Bai Renxiang.

Her face flushed red. But one would think it was of embarrassment but Bai Renxiang and herself knew it was all because of her anger. Bai Renxiang had a mocking smile on her face when their eyes met.

Bai Ming felt stupid. But not wanting to seem like she still wanted to drag on with the matter, she sighed and cast one to pretend longing to look at the mannequin with the clothes she wanted.

Feng Yisheng sighed inwardly seeing her expression. He returned his gaze to Li Fengjin and Bai Renxiang.

"Well, since it is like that, we would let it go," he said. "Come, Ming. Let's check for something else, hmm?" He took Bai Ming by the hand and turned to leave.

"Not so fast, Mr Feng."

They stopped in their steps and turned back. This time it was not Manager He who spoke but Li Fengjin.

"Is there anything else, Mr Li?" Feng Yisheng asked.

"There is one thing left. Your– whatever she may be to you... She insulted my wife. I would have sent a warning of deciding on her punishment but my soft-hearted wife, prefers an apology," he said.

Bai Renxiang was shocked to hear Li Fengjin say that. She wondered how he knew as he arrived not too long ago.

However, Li Fengjin should not be taken as a fool. He might have not been in the scene to know what happened from start to finish. But seeing the two main women in the scene and how tight Bai Renxiang's hand was clenched when he held her spoke volumes.

All he did was put two and two together and every piece of the puzzle fell into its rightful place, creating a clear picture of what had happened.

Meanwhile, Bai Ming's face turned ashen as her ears twitched from what she just heard. She not only has to fail in her plans to humiliate Bai Renxiang but now she has to go through the humiliation of apologising to her.

"What... How did I insult, you big sis? I never said any wing or offensive words to you," Bai Ming cried.

"You don't have to say offensive words to someone for it to be called an insult. Your mere lies against me are already insulting enough. Also, let's not forget that Mr Feng referred to my actions as extreme," Bai Renxiang said the last part with her eyes on Feng Yisheng.

The latter gulped as he ended Li Fengjin's cold gaze on him. He felt cold sweat slide down his spine.

"That... It was all because of the misunderstanding, Mrs Li," Feng Yisheng smiled. "Regardless of that, I apologise."

Bai Renxiang nodded and returned her gaze to Bai Ming.

"Well, Bai Ming. I'm all ears."
