Chapter 147: Someone who Dared to Flirt with Me

Xia Ling looked at him emotionlessly. “Director Jin, is there something important?”

He exaggeratedly placed his hand on his heart. “Xiao Ling, how could you be so cold to me?”

Xia Ling said, “I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now. We can chat another day.”

He quickly blocked the doorway. “Don’t! Why can’t I look for you if there is nothing important? How about you give me some face and eat dinner with me tonight? I know a very good Thai restaurant...”

She vaguely recalled that half an hour ago, Zheng Desong already told him not to provoke her.

“Director Jin, someone is waiting for me.” Xia Ling placed emphasis on the last part of her sentence.

Jin Yifei looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. “You aren’t even dating anyone. No matter who is waiting for you, he or she is in no position to stop me from inviting you to dinner.” Thinking about it, he added, “Rest assured, Xiao Ling. Even if your family has wealth and power, my family’s status is not bad and is definitely compatible with yours. If you’re with me, I’m sure there will be no loss to you.”

He actually thought that her backing was a family member and not a lover? No wonder he dared to have ideas.

Xia Ling looked at him in shock. “How do you know that I am not dating anyone?” Even Zheng Desong guessed that she was protected by Li Lei and deliberately warned Jin Yifei that she had a backing. From eavesdropping on their conversation before her audition, she saw that Jin Yifei agreed with his conjecture. Why did he suddenly change his mind after a short while?

“Oh...” His gaze fell on her body. “I’m good at observing people. Just now when you were dancing, I observed very closely and noticed that although your body is very flexible, you obviously have not...”

Xia Ling’s intuition told her that what he was about to say was nothing good. Her face had just darkened before someone spoke for her.

“Flirting with my staff. Are you tired of living?” A cold and murderous voice thundered.

Jin Yifei immediately stopped talking.

Xia Ling lifted her head and saw Li Lei standing close by and looking very upset.

“Big... Big boss Li!” Jin Yifei was traumatized looking at Li Lei. “Why... why are you here?!”

This was quite unexpected to Xia Ling. Did he know Li Lei?

Turning his head, he could see that Li Lei’s face was as dark as an overcast sky. “Manage yourself and your women. If I find out that you’re harassing Xiao Ling again...”

Jin Yifei finally realized that something was wrong. Could it be that the delicate girl in front of him was actually Li Lei’s woman?! At this moment, he wanted to give himself a slap on the face. He should have listened to Zheng Desong’s warning. Why did he have to chase after women for no good reason? Now, he was in an even more difficult situation.

Indeed, he and Li Lei were old acquaintances. The Jin Family was involved in a business that involved trade with foreign countries. They frequently offended many people, and their cargo ships were often targeted by enemies, so they needed the protection of the Li Family. After a few business transactions, the two families became familiar with each other. Jin Yifei was the family’s youngest son and was spoiled from an early age and became a hedonistic, good-for-nothing. When he was ten years old, he disobeyed his family’s orders and refused to help out in the family business. He then made a living wandering from place to place alone and encountered some trouble in the past, and it was thanks to Li Lei that he was where he was today.

As such, he was not afraid of anything and anyone except Li Lei.

If he had known earlier that she was Li Lei’s woman, he would not have dared to make a move on her no matter how brave he was!

In his heart, Jin Yifei had already burst into tears. He nodded like a chicken and said, “Yes... I assure you that my group of women and I will never disturb Xiao Ling again. Wait, that’s not right. My group of women and I? Big Boss Li, which of them has provoked Xiao Ling? I will give her a piece of my mind!”

Li Lei smiled and said, “Li Beier.”

This time, he remembered that damned woman’s name.

“So it is her!” Jin Yifei flew into a rage. “I was just talking about how this little girl is overstepping her boundaries more and more these days. She thinks that just because I treat her well, she can do as she pleases, and now she has caused problems for me! Big Boss Li and Xiao Ling, don’t worry. I will get rid of her this instant! I won’t even give her a compensation fee for breaking up! No, I won’t!”

“I thought you said before that you were going to give her to someone else?” asked Xia Ling.

Jin Yifei was terrified.

Xia Ling laughed. “I heard it when I was in the corridor outside the dressing room.”

Jin Yifei cried. “You have heard it already... Well, I admit that I had plans to get rid of her. Transferring this sort of woman to someone else when one doesn’t want her anymore is also very common...”

Li Lei’s face darkened and gave Jin Yifei a warning look.

Jin Yifei immediately stopped talking. Being the alert person he was, he naturally saw that Big Boss Li did not want him to say those offensive things in front of Xiao Ling. It was strange. These small stars frequently slept with men, how precious could they be? Why could he not bring up those offensive things around her like he was around a famous celebrity? Wait... Something was wrong!

Jin Yifei suddenly had an epiphany. He observed people very well. Just now, he already wanted to say that that girl’s posture and the way she danced showed that she had not been touched by any man before. She was a clean and pure young lady! Unless it was Big Boss Li who was unable to have sex with her; otherwise, this was rather odd!

This girl was not an ordinary small star that people played with!

Since luck brings wisdom, Jin Yifei blurted out. “Sister-in-law.”

“What did you call me?” Xia Ling stared at him dumbfoundedly.

“Sister-in-law!” Jin Yifei was gleeful and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be surprised. I will definitely take care of Li Beier did and will not introduce her to anyone else. I will get rid of her, hide her, destroy her reputation, and terminate her path to riches. It is her fault for offending my sister-in-law.”

“Who is your sister-in-law?!” Xia Ling nearly collapsed.

“Big Boss Li is like my big brother, so you are my sister-in-law,” said Jin Yifei.

As long as one is willing to lower his pride, one will be invincible. Jin Yifei’s strategy of being shameless was perfect. He was above twenty-five years old but still called an eighteen-year-old young lady “sister-in-law” without any stress. He also gave Li Lei a smile of flattery.

This strategy was very useful. Li Lei’s initial face of dissatisfaction immediately changed from dark to bright. Yes, this Jin Family member, you have a good eye.

Xia Ling’s face turned red. She had never been called “sister-in-law” in both of her lives. She had always been accustomed to hiding her love in a dark corner that never received any light or blessings. However, today, she had gained recognition.

Her heart full of emotions, she lifted her head to look at Li Lei and saw him looking at her with a smile.

Her face turned even redder, and she quickly shouted at Jin Yifei. “Shut up.”

Her voice was very soft.

Sister-in-law was embarrassed, so Jin Yifei smiled and stopped talking. However, in his heart, he was thinking of numerous gossip factors. Oh my god,He thought. I actually guessed it correctly. This girl and Big Boss Li are seriously a couple! Those unclear unspoken rules and the transactional relationship were actually used to hide a clear and pure romance!

This was Big Boss Li’s first love! Big gossip!

Jin Yifei wanted to howl in excitement and share this important news with everyone he knew.
