My Evil Genius Wife - Chapter 388

” It was all because of you. You’ve been driving for four years now and you don’t even know how to change a tire?” Xu Nuan lectures Jia Fei as they drive back to the cafe after visiting Jiang Yue’s graveyard.

They were supposed to be back by 4 pm but on their way, their tire punctured. They had a spare tire in the car trunk but no one knew how to change it. And the signals of their phones were so weak in that area that they couldn’t even call anyone for help or call a cab at the least.

They spend almost the whole night on that secluded road if they haven’t received help from strangers. Thankfully, a car passed by them and they helped them to change the tires and they somehow managed to come back by dinner time.

Jia Fei parked the car in front of the cafe and turned to Xu Nuan who was taunting her since then and said, ” Aren’t you being too unreasonable? If you think you’re that amazing, shouldn’t you at least change the tires? Why didn’t you do it then?”

” Also, aren’t you driving for 5 years as well? Why didn’t you do it then? Huh?” Jia Fei shouted at her.

Xu Nuan was surprised by Jia Fei’s sudden outburst and coughed to clear her throat. Did I say too much? She wondered.

Her eyes wavered as she tried to avoid her gaze but she was not someone to be intimidated by her fierce questions as well.

” I….It was because I am 21 now. It’s alright for me to not know how to change a tire but you should not make such useless excuses. You’re 24. Ho…Ho, wait. You’ll be 25 this year, so you should know how to change the tires at the least. How dare you try to change the topic and put all the blame on me?” Xu Nuan talks back, causing Jia Fei’s blood pressure to rise.

” Waah! I can’t believe you’re now using the age card to support your shitty argument.” Jia Fei scoffs in disbelief. She turned to Luo Dan who was quietly sitting in the back seat and was watching them bicker like elementary school kids.

” Why are you so quiet now? Say something at the least. You tell us who is wrong in this situation. Me or this 21-year-old girl?” Jia Fei asked, putting Luo Dan in a difficult position.

Xu Nuan also nodded and added, ” Yes. Luo Luo. Tell us who is at fault here. You don’t need to feel intimidated by this 25-year-old aunty, she can’t do anything to you anyway. Just tell the truth.”

“…”

Jia Fei bit her lower lip and with much strength, she controlled herself from not lunging at Xu Nuan to teach her a lesson.

Luo Dan purses her lips in a thin line as she was left speechless by their level of pettiness. How can they put all the pressure on her?

She scratched her neck awkwardly and hesitated before saying, ” Ermm…I don’t think anyone is at fault here. The car maintenance company is at the fault here. Yes, That’s right.”

” Jia Fei, didn’t you give the car for maintenance a few days ago? How did they work to get the tire punctured in the middle of the road? If they can’t do their work properly, then why are we even giving them our car for maintenance? She said seriously.

If she can’t choose anyone between them, it’s better to blame the maintenance company. At least, they won’t come to her later to blame her for everything.

Her words almost convinced the two agitated people and made them fall into deep thought. Seeing them in deep thought, Luo Dan found her opportunity and hurriedly got out of the car, ” Ah, we’ve reached. Let’s hurry up and get inside. We need to close the cafe soon enough.” She said as she almost ran inside the cafe, running away from the two hungry hyenas.

She has no idea why they fight like that but it was giving her a hell of a lot of headaches. During the whole ride, she did not get a single moment to rest as they were constantly bickering with each other, and then the next moment, they started discussing the newly launched designer bags.

Can’t they stick to one topic at a time?

Luo Dan pushed open the door, however, as soon as she entered the cafe, her gaze fell on the familiar figure in the cafe. ” OH!! Lin Hui? What a pleasant surprise. When did you come here?” She asked in surprise as she approached him for a hug.

Lin Hui smiled to see her back and stood up to hug her in greeting, ” I came a while ago. The waitress told me that you guys have gone somewhere. I was planning to leave to finish coffee but you guys came back just in time.”

Luo Dan smiled hearing his words as she joined him at his table. ” Where is Jia Fei by the way? Didn’t you guys go out together?”

” Ah, She is just- Here she is.” Luo Dan pointed towards the door when she noticed Jia Fei entering the cafe as well.

_

” Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I will call the maintenance company and will give them an earful for doing such a sloppy job. They have no-” Jia Fei said as she pushed the door open. However, she was caught off guard upon noticing Lin Hui who was sitting together with Luo Dan.

It was her first time seeing her after he got drunk and she had to take him to Yuhan’s house to not let him sleep on the streets. That was sure an eventful day.

Similarly, Xu Nuan who was standing behind her also halted in her steps to see Lin Hu in the cafe. It was also her first time seeing him after he confessed his feelings to her. Since that day, she has neither seen him nor has received a single call from him.

Before that, at least he used to call her frequently when they couldn’t meet or talk much about their busy schedules. She coughed to dissipate the awkwardness between the two and was about to turn around and leave when Jia Fei held her hand and pulled her towards the table.

” Oh. You’re here.” Jia Fei smiled awkwardly as went to sit at the same table.

Luo Dan pursed her lips tightly as she noticed the uncomfortable awkwardness between them and said, ” Ah, Lin Hui, You must not have met her. Let me introduce you guys. She is Xu Nuan, the CEO of HJ Entertainment, mostly known as The Knight’s manager.” She introduced them. She assumed that Xu Nuan must have not told him the truth yet and it’s better for them to act as naturally as possible.

” She is frequent at our cafe and Xu Nuan, this is-”  ” I know her. We met a few times before.” He said indifferently,

Luo Dan and Jia Fei both looked at Lin Hui and then at Xu Nuan.” Oh? How?” Luo Dan asked.

” Ah, Did you guys meet because of work? Since Xu Nuan also used to work as a manager, it’s inevitable for people who are in the same industry to not know each other.” Luo Dan said in understanding.

Lin Hui took a sip of his coffee and carefully glanced at Xu Nuan, who wasn’t saying anything. He was not sure if she had said anything to them or not and wasn’t planning to reveal anything as well.

” Nice to meet-” He sighed and was about to greet Xu Nuan formally for a show when Xu Nuan finally spoke,” He knows everything.”

Luo Dan and Jia Fei turned to Xu Nuan in shock as they were not expecting her to reveal this truth to him as well.

Xu Nuan sighed and glanced at Lin Hui and said, ” I already told them everything. So you don’t need to hide anything.”

Jia Fei: “…”

” What is this? So he knew about this all along? Xu Nuan, did you only keep us in the dark for so long? Huh?” Jia Fei felt betrayed. She thought that she had only told them the truth but he had told the truth to almost everyone.

She thought that she was part of this ‘secret mission’, but it seems like they were not the first ones to find out about this truth.

Xu Nuan didn’t say anything and simply rubbed the area below her ears and commented irritatedly, ” Ah, You’re so loud.”

Luo Dan sighed to see Jia Fei and Xu Nuan bickering again and shook her head in helplessness and smiled at Lin Hui awkwardly. Although it wasn’t a new thing for him to see them fighting like kids, it does feel embarrassing to fight like this in front of him.
