Mu Fengqie and Jing Xuncha had already spotted Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong at a nearby stall. Judging from their expressions, they knew exactly what those two were up to.
Jing Xuncha couldn't help but sneer, "Those two must be scheming against you."
"I know," she replied. That was exactly what she wanted. If they didn't take the bait, how could she catch the fish?
"Ache, take a look at this hairpin. Do you think it looks good on me?" Mu Fengqie casually picked up a hairpin and showed it to Jing Xuncha as soon as she saw them approaching.
Jing Xuncha took the hairpin from Mu Fengqie's hand and inserted it into her hair. "This hairpin suits you perfectly. It's really beautiful."
"Boss, how much is this hairpin? We'll take it," Jing Xuncha said without removing the hairpin from Mu Fengqie's head. He meant what he said. The hairpin really did suit Qier well.
Mu Fengqie was wearing a dark blue dress today, and with this purple hairpin, she looked even more vibrant.
"Are you two a couple? You can tell you have a great relationship. I'll only charge you one tael of silver," the boss said with a beaming smile.
Actually, this hairpin wasn't worth one tael of silver at all. But earlier, Mu Fengqie and Jing Xuncha had asked him to cooperate with them in a little act and promised to give him one tael of silver later.
At first, he didn't want to take the money and just wanted them to buy a hairpin. But he couldn't refuse Mu Fengqie and Jing Xuncha, so he had to agree. The boss thought that since they were willing to pay one tael of silver for him to act in this play, he might as well give them the hairpin for free.
Mu Fengqie sensed the boss's kindness and gave him a smile. She paid the silver and was about to take Jing Xuncha to another place.
After Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong decided to set their sights on Mu Fengqie, they quickly walked towards them and happened to overhear their conversation with the boss.
They thought to themselves that Mu Fengqie must be rich. She was willing to spend one tael of silver on a hairpin. She really didn't know how to save money. Why didn't she send some of her money to them?
Mu Rendong, in particular, couldn't take his eyes off Mu Fengqie. He looked at her as if she were a walking piece of gold.
"Wait a minute," Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong called out in a hurry when they saw that Mu Fengqie and Jing Xuncha didn't seem to notice them and were about to leave.
When Mu Fengqie turned around and saw Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong, her eyes were full of surprise. "What are you two doing here?"
Jing Xuncha saw Mu Fengqie's expression and secretly stifled a laugh. His wife was so cute. Mu Fengqie probably sensed that Jing Xuncha was laughing at her, so she quietly placed her hand on the soft flesh on his waist and gave it a hard twist!
Jing Xuncha's body stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. His wife's strength was really comfortable!
"Mu Fengqie, we were about to ask you the same question. What are you doing here? You got rich and didn't even tell us."
Mu Fengqie didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you to a meal."
Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong cursed her secretly in their hearts but thought she still had a bit of conscience.
"Of course we've eaten. But since you're so eager to treat us, we'll reluctantly let you do it," Mu Rendong said, putting on his high - and - mighty act again.
Little did he know that his attitude was attracting the disdain of everyone around him.
But Mu Rendong was oblivious. He just kept talking, "If you're treating us, take us to the biggest restaurant in the capital. Otherwise, we won't go."
Mu Fengqie felt disgusted when she saw Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong acting so condescendingly. Who gave him the confidence? Was this the so - called ordinary yet confident man? How come she never noticed before that Mu Rendong was such a person?
Jing Xuncha also felt nauseous looking at Mu Rendong. He couldn't understand how there could be such a disgusting person in the world.
Mu Fengqie swallowed her nausea and agreed. She took them to the biggest restaurant in the capital.
When the waiter in the restaurant saw Mu Fengqie and Jing Xuncha coming in, he was about to bow, but Jing Xuncha stopped him with a look. Most people in the capital were smart. They just glanced at Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong behind them and understood the situation.
So they treated them like ordinary customers, but there was still a hint of respect in their actions because these two people had high status.
"Waiter, bring all your signature dishes to me. And then bring a pot of your most expensive wine," Mu Rendong and Mrs. Kong didn't hold back at all after they entered. They directly ordered the most expensive things in the restaurant.
They never even thought about whether Mu Fengqie could afford all these. Even if she couldn't, they wouldn't care. After all, it was her treat. If she didn't have enough money, she could figure it out herself.
The waiter hesitated and looked at Mu Fengqie, not knowing what to do.
Seeing the waiter standing still, Mu Rendong got angry. "Why aren't you going? Don't you always say that customers are your reborn parents? Now your father wants to eat. Why aren't you going quickly?"
Mu Rendong couldn't help but show off his power in front of the waiter. He might not be able to provoke others, but he could surely provoke a low - level waiter.
Seeing the waiter's face turn pale, Mu Fengqie said, "Don't take his words to heart. Just go and serve our dishes first." She took out a silver ingot from her money bag and gave it to the waiter as compensation.
After all, being scolded by someone like Mu Rendong was really disgusting.
"Sure thing, esteemed guests. Please wait a moment. The dishes will be here soon!" The waiter wasn't angry anymore after getting the silver. After all, getting scolded a few times and getting a silver ingot in return wasn't a bad deal. If possible, he even wanted to be scolded a few more times.
"Are you crazy? Why are you giving so much money to a low - level waiter?" Mu Rendong started to pick a fight when he saw Mu Fengqie giving so much money to the waiter without even blinking an eye.
But he was also secretly happy in his heart. This meant that Mu Fengqie was rich, and she had a lot of money.
"That's right. You don't know how to manage a household at all. Do you know how expensive daily necessities are? You should learn to save. If you don't know how, just give the money to me. I'll keep it for you so you don't waste it everywhere," Mrs. Kong also had her eyes on the money.
She thought that this little slut Mu Fengqie must have a lot of money at home. She had to find a way to get her to hand it over.
Mu Fengqie looked at the greed and undisguised calculation in their eyes and felt a sense of irony. Sure enough, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. They were always eyeing things that didn't belong to them.
She even thought that they should be careful not to choke on their greed and eat themselves to death!
