Chapter 813: Chapter 812 No Relation at All Chapter 813: Chapter 812 No Relation at All “Seems the two of you have a good relationship, coming to eat together?”
“Forget to introduce, this is my friend, the daughter of an oil tycoon, Maria.” Lan Lan introduced with pride, even her friends were of notable status.
Qiao Xiaren glanced at Maria, her eyes flickering with a mocking smile, “Miss Maria, I’ve seen before. Good, today we all can get to know each other well. Previously, Miss Maria’s understanding of me was rather shallow.”
Lan Lan didn’t understand what Qiao Xiaren was talking about; she didn’t know that Qiao Xiaren had the fortune to have met Maria, to make acquaintances with such a renowned lady from M Country.
“Don’t be like that, Miss Lan, Miss Maria once told me that you had spoken of me in front of her. Have you forgotten?” Qiao Xiaren stared at Lan Lan intently, her gaze cold and indifferent.
Lan Lan’s expression stiffened, then she remembered that she had slandered Qiao Xiaren in front of Maria.
Not only in front of Maria, but she had also smeared Qiao Xiaren in front of others. Because of her unwillingness, she wanted to vent her dark emotions in front of others and incidentally tarnish Qiao Xiaren’s image.
Feeling embarrassed, Lan Lan spoke up, “Today in New York, Maria helped me choose a gift, initially intended to deliver it personally to your mother when I returned home. It’s such a coincidence she is also here, so I’ll just give it now as a token of my appreciation.”
Lan Lan took out a beautifully packaged gift box from her bag, which Qiao Xiaren guessed must be jewelry, looking quite heavy.
Seeing her behavior, Qiao Xiaren also knew it was a provocation.
Giving these to Mrs. Si in front of her own face, it all seemed like a display of status.
“I’m sorry, I can’t accept unearned rewards; please take this jewelry back.” Mrs. Si was also forthright, directly pushing it away. Lan Lan didn’t expect Mrs. Si to rebuff her in front of so many people, which was somewhat embarrassing.
“It’s too kind of you, madam, but this is a dress I am giving to you, it’s not right to take it back, please accept it.” Lan Lan looked sincere and stubborn, showing no sign of taking it back.
Mrs. Si frowned, suddenly feeling a bit pitying.
Such a young girl, and so thin-faced.
“Please accept it, madam,” Lan Lan insisted, leaving her no room to refuse, her relentless approach giving Mrs. Si a headache.
Maria seemed a bit dense, as she was completely unaware of the backstory. She only knew that Qiao Xiaren had stolen Lan Lan’s boyfriend, though she wasn’t much of a moralist herself, she couldn’t bring herself to engage in such behavior and also felt that those who did were disgusting.
Seeing Qiao Xiaren in front of her, sitting beside a man who seemed intimate, clearly the unfaithful man Lan Lan spoke of, she wanted to defend Lan Lan.
And now, seeing the situation, she felt even more annoyed.
The distinguished young mistress of the Lan Family, when had she ever needed to swallow her pride, to speak in such a subservient manner? Being utterly suppressed by another woman.
“Sir, do all you men really cherish the new and tire of the old? After all, having been together once, is there a need to embarrass her ?”
In Maria’s view, not only did Si Limo allow his mother to treat his ex-girlfriend with cold violence, but he also didn’t utter a word to defend her at the side, showing no gentlemanly demeanor at all, what a waste of a handsome face!
Si Limo’s expression began to darken, “Maria, hasn’t anyone told you to be responsible for your words and actions? This is M Country, and if I’m not mistaken about the law, what you did today is defamation. Miss Lan and I have absolutely no relationship.”
