Chapter 304: Dare to take the challenge
Lanni’s phone chimed again. She thought it would be another text message from Xiehan but instead, it was a call from a certain annoying boss.
"Little Mumu, how is it going?" The man was as enthusiastic and infuriating as ever.
"I’m alright. CEO, today is Saturday." She meant to remind him that it was not a working day and he should not be making any calls related to work, especially since she had already stated on the first day that she would not be able to work overtime on any day.
"I know, I know... I just wanted to apologize for not being able to make it to your banquet." The man apologized vehemently.
"It’s alright." She didn’t want him to go anyway; she had only extended an invitation because it would have been weird if she hadn’t. Who knew what kind of trouble he would have caused if he had attended?
"Little Mumu, don’t be upset. I will get you a present to make up for my absence. If you wish, we can also have a few drinks together."
"No, thanks. It’s really alright." Lanni expressed her understanding. Why was this man so hard to deal with?
The only positive side to it was that after this banquet, he would no longer doubt her identity. She knew that he had his people in the banquet, disguised as guests. However, thanks to the guests who would suck up to the Jiang family so much as to claim to have cradled her as a baby, the act became even more realistic.
Soon, the banquet ended. The guests started leaving for their homes and Lanni went to change into a more comfortable pair of shoes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xingyu rushed to look for Luna before she could leave. He found her outside, drinking yet another glass of wine.
He walked over and tried to pry the stem glass out of her hand. "Don’t drink too much."
