My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 786 - Trivial Quarrel

Harold looked at the woman helplessly. He placed his paper cup on the table and walked inside the door. He saw a middle-aged woman pointing at Vivi's nose and sneering.

"Hey, how could such a valuable item be kept in the office? I took it only to keep it at home so as not to be stolen! My intentions are good, but you stopped me in front of so many people, where is your respect?!"

This woman was wearing a brown double-breasted coat and paired with plain black trousers, it was a very common style of dress.

She pointed at Vivi's nose, which was a little impolite gesture on her part.

Harold furrowed his brows, pondering whether to step forward to defuse the situation.

Vivi, whose back stood against him, replied in a weeping voice, "Auntie, that bamboo tree decoration was sent by a friend of mine, and I want to honor it by displaying it in the company. Why would you want to take it? Besides, your son Ludwig isn't in the company today. Did you know where he go?"

Your son Ludwig?

Harold secretly thought for a moment, then recognized the identity of the other party.

Come to think of it, it was Ludwig's mother, Nadine.

At this time, Nadine heard Vivi's words and immediately became angry. "What's with Ludwig's absence? Should I ask his opinion on such a small matter? He is my son, of course he will agree with his mother's arrangement. There was no reason to ask him what had belonged to the family."

"Hurry up and give the bamboo tree to me. I will bring it back to my house and keep it. There are so many people in the office, if you lose them one day, it will be too late for you to cry!"

Nadine ignored Vivi's words and shouted at her arrogantly.

Vivi was also a quick-tempered person, but today, she could hold it in. However, she couldn't allow Nadine to be so arrogant in front of her employees.

"Auntie, I told you the tree decoration was given to me by a friend. Even if it was taken, it should have been brought back to my own house."

Hearing this, Nadine sneered. "Bring it back to your house? You and Ludwig live together, and your belongings are his. Is it still unclear? Besides, you used to be a small employee in the company, if you could afford this expensive tree decoration, my son wouldn't live in the small place like now!"

Vivi was out of breath from her anger, she gritted her teeth and her voice stiff. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Ludwig!"

"What is that?"

At this moment, a cold and lazy voice came from the opposite studio.

Vivi turned around, and Nadine too.

In front of the studio, Lilia was leaning against the door's frame, looking at them with a smile.

Harold stood beside her, fiddled with the broken hair on his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you interfere?"

Lilia looked at him and smiled casually, then said in a relaxed voice, "I will never leave my troubled friend! Whoever makes Vivi cry, I will punish them!"

These words reached Nadine's ears, her yellowed cheeks filled with displeasure. "Vivi, is this your friend?"

Vivi didn't say anything, but she stared at Lilia for a moment, and the grievance in her eyes clearly visible.

Seeing this, Lilia walked forward, and when she stood beside her, she smiled and joked. "I've always heard from Ludwig that you are a good person, but why is your mouth so stupid today?"

She had been in Vivi's office a long time ago and Lilia had heard the two of them arguing.

It turns out that they were arguing about the bamboo tree decoration that she gave to Vivi.

Listening to Lilia's taunt, Vivi bit the corner of her mouth and whispered, "Let's see the joke!"

"What kind of joke?" Lilia curled her lips and smiled, then turned her gaze to Nadine. "Auntie, do you really like bamboo tree decorations?"

This time, Nadine looked at Lilia with a sneer.

Her demeanor was polite enough, but her tone was still unacceptable. "It's not a question of whether I like it or not. Since you are her friend, please persuade her for me. I was really worried about putting it here considering the price of the decorations is very expensive."

Lilia couldn't help but smile after hearing this. "Auntie, since this is a gift from a friend, then it's up to her where to put it. Besides, the employees of this office are carefully selected from the elite, they won't do something stupid like stealing an ornament."

"It can't be like that!" Nadine suddenly snapped, she said, "You guys are still too young, with little experience, and always easy to trust people. What does it have to do with the decoration given by a friend or not? This company belongs to my son and everything naturally belongs to Ludwig."

Robber logic!

The corners of Lilia's mouth gradually merged into a smile. She remembered Vivi said that Ludwig's mother was one of the shareholders of the company.

Thinking of this, Lilia's eyes blinked. Vivi's face was full of shame and resentment, and she raised her eyebrows as she heard Lilia say, "Your statement is too inappropriate! This company does use the Ludwig name, but Vivi also invests in it! Besides, when I gave Vivi the bamboo tree decoration, the gift was written to Vivi, not Ludwig Technology!"

In the end, Lilia's face turned full of ridicule.

Hearing that, Vivi said kindly, "That bamboo decoration was given to me by Lilia. If you want to take it, I will return it to Lilia now. If you want, you can buy it from her!"

Nadine's face was shocked, as if she didn't expect the outcome to be like this.

She looked at Lilia suspiciously, and at Vivi again, she couldn't contain her anger. "How could you pick your friend's side and jump on me?!"

"Vivi, when Ludwig comes back, repeat everything you said earlier. We'll see if you still have that impolite mouth of yours or not. See you in a few days, I'm sure your attitude will be rewarded!"

Nadine's voice was so loud, it made the two's eardrums hurt.

Lilia impatiently pulled Vivi behind her back, and said sarcastically, "Auntie, your logic isn't right! Wasn't this company created by Vivi and Ludwig? Why do you sound like you just want Vivi to obey like an employee?"

"But if you really like the decorations, after the two of them get married, I can give them bigger and more expensive decorations, but this one belongs to Vivi."

Nadine was surprised by Lilia's words.

She had always been used to publicity and arrogance in her own territory, and she naturally couldn't stand it when she was ridiculed by others.

"You... What kind of thing do you dare to talk to me about like this? This is my family's business, how can you talk like that and let you go!"

Nadine's savage personality suddenly became clear.

Vivi gritted her teeth and her face turned red with anger. She stepped forward and stood in front of Lilia. "Auntie, is your anger endless? I am indeed in love with Ludwig but you know that I am not yours. I am usually quite considerate of him, so if you are not satisfied with me then I will happily break up with him."

"Just go! Get out of my son's life as early as possible! I don't want my son to have an ungrateful woman like you!"
