Chapter 132 Moon Cakes
Seeing James was about close in for a kiss, Maria resisted the impulse to close her eyes and kiss
him back. She turned her head and said, "I''m Lawrence''s girlfriend now. This is so not cool! Mr. Xi,
please don''t touch me again! I''m loyal to Lawrence!"
''Loyal to Lawrence? Screw her!'' His hot breath moistened her face. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You
don''t love him. Stop ying these games! If you hurt him, I swear I''ll—"
Maria suddenlyughed, cutting him off. "You don''t want me to hurt him? So should I hurt you
instead? But did you give me a chance? Are you willing to?" ''You son of bitch!'' she thought to
herself.
"I don''t want you to hurt anyone! I won''t let you!" he threatened.
He wouldn''t let her get what she wanted. The woman wanted to hurt him? Keep dreaming.
Maria raised her hand and shook it in front of him. She asked again, "Do you think my hand is good
looking enough?
You''d look good with my handprint on your face!"
James grasped her wrist and warned her fiercely, "Hit me again, I''ll chop it off!"
"You touch me again, and I''ll chop off your hard member!"
After saying that, the woman broke free from his grip, spun on her heel, and left, ignoring his livid
face. Maria tidied her clothes and went back to the living room as if nothing had happened.
The two elders were still chatting in the living room. When they saw hering out, they
instinctively looked past her. James couldn''t be far behind.
James followed her out, and he didn''t look happy at all.
Seeing that, Augustine shook his head helplessly. Although he didn''t know anything about the
discussion those two had, he could tell it didn''t go well.
It was already eight o''clock in the evening. Maria bid the elders farewell.
Augustine stared at his grandson. James had been reticent since he fought with Maria. The old man
said, "Goodbye Maria. Goodbye, James." He stressed that final goodbye. It was a sign he wanted
James to leave as well. He was still angry at James. And why not? He failed to protect his own son!
James quietly stood up from the sofa, put on his shoes, and followed Maria out of the vi.
There were two cars in the parking garage, a white BMW and a ck limited edition Bentley
Mulsanne.
Maria hade to the vi first. When she drove in, there were no other cars around, so she just
parked it wherever.
The driver of the Bentley Mulsanne was careful and precise. He managed to squeeze in beside her
BMW.
The two elders watched them get in their cars and bade them farewell before returning to the vi.
Maria got in the BMW and started the engine.
James'' car was too close to hers. If she wanted to drive off, she had to do so carefully. She wasn''t
that good a driver, and it was difficult for her to park the car in the garage.
The Bentley Mulsanne didn''t move at all, so Maria had to move her car forward first and then throw
it in reverse to avoid clipping his car. She moved forward, right, backward... Bang!
Maria miscalcted the angle and she smacked right into the Bentley.
Thanks to the dim light, Maria couldn''t see James'' expression. She could imagine it, though. His car
was much more expensive than hers.
He didn''t get out of the car and neither did she.
She kept moving the car. Two minutester, she was still trying to leave the parking space.
The tragedy happened again. Maria mistook the elerator for the brake. Her car hit the Bentley
Mulsanne again.
Maria was getting more and more flustered. This was annoying.
Finally, she unfastened her seat belt, emerged from the BMW, and knocked on the window of the
Bentley.
The man in the car was smoking. Seeing her impatient expression, he sneered, "Are you through
destroying my car yet?"
"You''re the better driver. Can''t you leave first?" Maria asked. She wondered why he had to wait for
her to drive away first. Was he doing that on purpose?
James exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked in the rearview mirror. "I want to leave, but you are in
the way."
Maria looked and found he was telling the truth. She spent so much time but she didn''t reverse the
car at all. All that time trying to reorient the car, and all she seeded in doing was blocking his
way out.
Realizing she was in the wrong, she tried to fix it. "Could you back the car out for me?" she
whispered.
Much to her surprise, James answered, "No, I can''t. It would look inappropriate. Why don''t you call
Lawrence?"
Maria red at him. ''Son of bitch!'' she swore at him again. Maria was about to blow up. She kicked
the tire of the Bentley Mulsanne. "So yes or no?"
"No."
"Nice. You''re a real human being!" Maria suddenly turned around and yelled towards the vi.
"Grandpa, Grandma!"
"Fine, I''ll back the car out!" The calm man was efficient and quick. No sooner had he finished
speaking than he was already out of the car, cigarette between his cold lips.
Maria did not bother disguising her glee.
After casting her an icy re, James got in her BMW and drove the car to the vi gate in a few
seconds.

The woman was stunned by his skills. He did what she failed to do, and in record time.
So why didn''t he just drive off first? He was waiting for her to hit him. He knew it would happen.
Probably so he could charge her for repairs.
Under the woman''s suspicious gaze, James went back to his own car, started the engine and left
the vi.
On the second floor of the vi, Charlotte moved to the window and looked at the two cars at the
gate of the vi. "Someone was yelling, Augustine," she said with uncertainty.
"No. You must be hearing things." Of course Augustine heard it as well. It waste at night, and
Maria''s voice carried.
It was none of their business. Instead of meddling in the young couple''s matters, they should just
pretend they hadn''t heard a thing.
"Really?" Charlotte asked doubtfully. Did she hear imaginary voices, then?
The two cars drove into town one by one.
When they almost arrived at the hotel where Maria stayed, the Bentley Mulsanne, which had been
following the BMW all the time, sped up and rode side by side with the BMW.
In the end, the Bentley passed Maria''s BMW and stopped in front of it, blocking her way.
James got out of the car and knocked on her window. He had forgotten to give Maria the moon
cakes he got for her.
Maria pressed the button and the window automatically rolled down. She was confused. "Why did
you force me to stop? I''m going to see Lawrence. Get out of my way!"
"Thiste? Why?" James asked.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I''m bringing him some moon cakes. Take your car to the body
shop. Get an estimate and send the bill to the cafe. See you!" Finishing her words, Maria closed the
window decisively, turned the steering wheel, and left.
James was speechless, left behind, watching the car''s recede in the distance. Two minutester, he
grabbed the gift box with the custom-made moon cakes from the back seat, and tossed the box in a
nearby trash can.
Jamesughed at himself inwardly. What possessed him to get her some moon cakes?
Maria didn''t have any moon cakes for Lawrence. He had tons of friends, and he''d probably have too
many moon cakes to eat in one sitting.
She just said that just to piss off James.
She didn''t know whether James was angry or not. Anyway, it felt really good to leave him behind
without giving him a chance to speak.
In the Tang family, the family dinner for the festival was finished.
After dinner, Alina went upstairs with her phone.
She went back to her bedroom and dialed a number. Her voice was sweet and polite when she
spoke. "Hi, Aunt Judy, am I interrupting?"
"Not at all. I''m shopping with Sebastian. What''s up, Alina?"
"It''s the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Aunt Judy, did you and Uncle Sebastian eat moon cakes
tonight?"
Judy answered with a slight smile, "Yes, we have. Both James and Cooper sent some to us."
Parents were like people who nted trees. Eventually, the trees grew enough to provide you
shade. Judy was extremely happy with the trees she nted.
Sebastian divorced James'' biological mother when James was quite young. When Judy married
Sebastian, the two boys were less than ten years old.
