CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 360

Xue Junyi stared at Ling Hua, who looked like a goddess in her expensive outfit, and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Seeing that Xue Junyi remained silent, Ling Hua felt there was nothing left to say to him.

Just then, her mother’s secretary called her over, so Ling Hua prepared to leave.

But suddenly Xue Junyi grabbed her hand, "I also want to ask you, how come you are at this kind of banquet wearing such expensive clothes!"

"What do you mean?" Ling Hua furrowed her brows slightly.

"You’re still pretending? Then I’ll just say it outright, you’re having an affair with your employer, aren’t you?"

Xue Junyi felt a surge of jealousy when he thought of Ling Hua, so pure and beautiful, lying beneath that fat and big-eared man not far away.

"What employer, what affair? Xue Junyi, don’t smear others with your own filth."

Ling Hua was infuriated; Xue Junyi was actually suspecting that she was selling her body for money, which was the ultimate insult to her.

She tried to pull her hand away from Xue Junyi and wanted to slap him a few times.

But she was no match for Xue Junyi’s strength, and after several attempts, she still couldn’t break free.

And Xue Junyi’s hurtful words continued, "I’m filthy? Would he bring you to such a high-class party and dress you in such expensive clothes if there wasn’t something between you?"

Xue Junyi thought that Ling Hua’s pure body should belong to him, and the thought of her being tainted by someone else made him even angrier.

"How many times have you been with your employer? Why don’t you also accompany me? After all, I was your first boyfriend. You never gave me anything. I even brought you fruit, gave you hair ties, really feel like a big sucker."

"The fruits were from the Little Tomatoes group buying app, only 0.99 per pound. The hair ties were free gifts from your online shopping! Shame on you for mentioning it."

"Still, it counts as a gift. You ate them and used them, so you have to fulfill the duties of a girlfriend."

Xue Junyi became increasingly out of control and even tried to grab Ling Hua’s collar.

Seeing her dressed up so beautifully made him feel he had really missed out during their dating period, as there had been no real progress.

But now it seemed like there was still a chance to make up for it.

"Uncle Wang, come and save me!" Ling Hua sensed what Xue Junyi was about to do and cried out for help.

Secretary Wang, who was nearby confirming the final procedures with the hotel manager to report to President Ling, was startled by Ling Hua’s cry for help and immediately rushed over.

"You rotten kid, what are you trying to do to our Miss!"

The manager, hearing Secretary Wang’s words, also became very nervous.

Ling Hua was the rich girl from the Ling Group who was here to host the anniversary celebration today. If anything happened to her before the event started, he would definitely be held responsible.

Not only would he lose his job, but he might also be implicated such that he couldn’t work in the service industry in the future.

So the manager took it very seriously and immediately called several waiters to subdue Xue Junyi.

Besides, the manager quickly found a cape to put on Ling Hua’s shoulders, asking with concern, "Lady Ling, are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Ling Hua said, though her arm was all red from Xue Junyi’s twisting.

But thankfully, with so many protective people around, the panic on Ling Hua’s face finally lessened.

After calming Ling Hua down for the moment, the manager then scolded, "Which supervisor brought this man here? Come here."

So Supervisor Song, who had brought Xue Junyi in, had no choice but to step forward reluctantly.

"Supervisor Song, you brought this man? You bring in anyone you like, do you think our hotel is a shelter?"

To vent for Ling Hua, the manager’s tone was particularly strict and his words were sharp.

"It wasn’t me who brought him in. We were short staffed today, and he was inserted as temporary labor."

Supervisor Song felt terrible; he had already repeatedly warned Xue Junyi not to tamper with the food and utensils here.

True, Xue Junyi hadn’t touched these expensive items, but instead, he had meddled with guests attending the dinner.

"Temporary worker? You should keep an even closer eye on a temp worker. Do you know who he was meddling with? She is the jewel in the crown of tonight’s host, the President of Ling Group!"

Supervisor Song’s legs were weak.

He really didn’t know, this pretty girl came from such a prominent background.

Now it’s over!

Supervisor Song didn’t even know if he could keep his job now.

The more Supervisor Song thought about it, the more he resented Xue Junyi.

But Supervisor Song didn’t know, Xue Junyi’s mind was even more messed up, by tens of thousands of times.

And this mess started when Ling Hua called for those helpers.

They treated Ling Hua with utmost respect and treasure, an attitude definitely not for someone who is a rich person’s mistress or a toy.

But Xue Junyi kept telling himself, it’s not possible.

Ling Hua was just a little maid working in a wealthy family’s house, how could her status be so esteemed?

Until the manager announced Ling Hua’s identity in front of everyone...

The darling of the Ling Group?

Ling Hua is a real rich girl?

At this moment, Xue Junyi truly realized what he had missed.

Amidst the panic and guilt in his heart, there was even a trace of luck!

Xue Junyi hurriedly spoke to Ling Hua, his demeanor was even more tender than when their love was at its sweetest, and his tone was so gentle it was uncharacteristic.

"Huahua, I didn’t know you are Ling’s rich girl, why didn’t you tell me before?"

If Ling Hua had told him earlier, how could Xue Junyi make himself so embarrassed over some nonexistent properties?

"What difference does it make if I told you, or if I didn’t?" Ling Hua noticed the change in Xue Junyi’s attitude, but she didn’t show him any pleasant expressions.

"If you had told me, this wouldn’t have been the outcome between us. Huahua, I know I was wrong, can we start over?" Xue Junyi’s voice was almost pleading.

Seeing this situation, the manager hurriedly asked, "Lady Ling, do you know this person?"

The manager was originally planning to call the police.

If this person knew Lady Ling, it would be difficult to handle.

Today, Xue Junyi’s actions had destroyed the last bit of feeling Ling Hua had for him in her heart, so Ling Hua simply said coldly: "I don’t know him."

However, these words deeply hurt Xue Junyi, turning the greed in his eyes to evil.

"Don’t know me? Huahua, you ate my gifted fruits, used the hair tie I gave, and now you even deny recognizing me, your boyfriend?"

Xue Junyi’s words disgusted Ling Hua terribly, leaving her unable to say anything at the moment.

And this reaction in Xue Junyi’s eyes seemed like an acknowledgment from Ling Hua, so he started to make a scene with the manager.

"You bunch of blind fools, what are you waiting for, let me go, I am the future son-in-law of Ling Group, your employer!"

Although the manager found Xue Junyi’s words arrogant, from Ling Hua’s attitude, he could still feel some truth in Xue Junyi’s words.

So, he was momentarily unsure how to deal with Xue Junyi.

The manager could only look at Ling Hua anxiously: "Lady Ling, this..."

"Go and find me some Little Tomatoes and a hair tie," said Ling Hua.

Though the manager didn’t know what Ling Hua suddenly needed those for, he still instructed someone to fetch the two items.

During this time, Xue Junyi kept making a scene, saying some very unpleasant things.

Not until the waiter brought the Little Tomatoes and hair tie to Ling Hua, did she smash them in Xue Junyi’s face.

"These Little Tomatoes and this hair tie are much more expensive than your group buys and gifts. I am now returning these to you, we are even now. Never appear in front of me again!"
