Chapter 210 Acting As Viin
What''s more, with this makeup, Zed would never be able to recognize her even if Jean stood in front of
him.
This was the most critical and the most important point.
By now, a lot of people had known her rtionship with Zed. She couldn''t have him humiliated with
this.
"This here, is my best friend Jean Wen. Jean, This is Ron Qi and his friend Calvin Li."
Maranda swiftly realized that she had to introduce her friends to each other. She did so with a wide grin
on her face.
Jean arrogantly looked at the man called Ron from head to foot. While she tried to look judgmental on
purpose, she admired him a lot on the sly. Ron was a fine man.
Coming from a rich family, Ron had the money to spend capriciously like a yboy, but he inhibited
himself from such.
He was tall, strong and handsome, but what was most admirable about him as a first impression was
the nobleness in his demeanor and the way he carried himself.
"Nice to meet you." Hearing that Jean was Maranda''s friend, Ron stopped staring and gracefully
extended his hand out to shake hands with her.
Jean intentionally pretended as if she didn''t see him stretch his hand out. She just sneered, "Mr. Qi,
right? So, do you want to go after Maranda?"
Ron was taken aback that Jean got straight to the point. He wasn''t prepared to meet such a confident
and straightforward woman. He was at a loss for words.
However, Calvin, who stood beside him, watching the whole thing, kept silent. He took a side nce at
Jean and continued smoking.
"There won''t be any chasing today. It is just the first time that we meet each other and we just want to
get a bit more familiar with each other."
Ron Qi frowned. He disliked Jean''s looks on him.
She was staring so sharply at him as if she could see through him. Ron felt uneasy all over and
seemed a little nervous. Jean was a little intimidating for him.
"So, did you alsoe here to score a date with Maranda as your parents instructed you to do?" Jean
did not beat around the bush.
Maranda had no idea what Jean had nned to do, beforehand. She had only made a request that
Jean should help her that day.
And it was for Jean to do whatever she wanted to ruin this date.
Jean could get creative and have as much fun as she wanted as long as they would get to walk away
from this supposed date.
However, Jean was being too frank and unrelenting!
Jean asked such a superficial and dumb question that Maranda even got chocked and spewed all juice
out of her mouth immediately after she drank it. Now, she had been put in an extremely awkward
position.
Jean coldly looked at Maranda and involuntarily knitted her eyebrows.
It was Maranda that asked her for this favor. But now, Maranda was the least cooperative with this little
drama.
"Yikes! Be careful......" Ron hurried to get some paper towels out and handed them to Maranda like a
gentleman.
"Thank you......" A little embarrassed, Maranda flushed and took the towels.
"Yeah, you can put it that way! Does Ms. Wen have any advice?" Ron raised his head, stared at Jean
and asked her in a good-tempered manner. He seemed to have picked up on what was going on.
"I dare not to give any advice. However, we are all young. This pile of crap "tradition" we are doing here
is out of date. It won''t do us any good to blindly follow what our parents tell us to do. So Mr. Qi, don''t
you want to find a girl that you love to happily spend the rest of your life with?" Jean shrewdly asked
while looking straight at him.
"I don''t need love. Ms. Wen, do you think that someone from a family such as mine can marry a woman
I like?" Ron still smiled while speaking.
"Why not?" Jean asked with her eyebrows raised, feeling a little agitated.
"Because we have a much stronger sense of ountability and responsibility than ordinary people. We
should consider the interests of our family. What we think for ourselves is just secondary or evenst
priority. If it is to protect the interests of our family at the cost of our own personal and selfish wants,
then I don''t see why not?" Ron replied with a sophisticated motion of his hands.
"You are just seeking excuses for your faithlessness in love." All of a sudden, Jean lost her temper and
furiously rebuked him, "Ron Qi, don''t take for granted that we don''t know what men like you are
thinking. You follow your parents'' instructions to marry a woman from a family of equal status. Then,
you can still have affairs outside your marriage with the excuse that you and your wife don''t love each
other. Does that sound familiar?
Let me tell you here and now. You''d better drop the idea if you intend to deal with Maranda in that
manner. Maranda will not marry such a spineless man without a disposition like you!"
"Jean, don''t get too excited." Maranda couldn''t stay silent anymore. She pulled Jean aside and advised
her in a low voice, "It is the first time for me to meet him, so it is too early to talk about marriage. Go
and have a little rest somewhere."
Afterwards, Maranda gave Jean a ss of juice and smiled.
Jean fiercely gave Maranda a disdainful look. Here she was, acting as the viin, whereas Maranda
herself was acting as the good person. What the hell was Maranda doing?
"Ms. Wen......" Calvin Li, who had been sitting farthest from them, suddenly came over to Jean with a
ss of wine in his hand and gently smiled to her, "I am so lucky to witness such a wonderful scene. In
addition, I really admire you for helping your friend so righteously. She is very fortunate to have you.
Let''s drink to that. Cheers!" He raised his ss expecting everyone to do the same. "
"I don''t drink." Jean coldly stared at Calvin and directly refused him.
"You can drink the juice in ce of the wine." Calvin still smiled. He cared none for Jean''s quirky
attitude tonight.
Jean defiantly replied, "I don''t know you. So why should I drink a toast with you?"
Without batting an eysh, she grabbed the juice beside her and drank arge mouthful. The gulping
sound was so loud that it was heard by all three other people present there.
Realizing what her friend was doing for her, Maranda was moved by such effort.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
She had never seen Jean behave so rudely.
She was giving her 100% and acted like that just for her, Maranda.
It seemed that Jean really treated her as a real friend.
Jean was unclear of what Maranda was thinking, but she didn''t want to know.
After drinking a big mouthful of juice, she sat back and calmed herself down.
When she saw that all three people were starting at her, Jean couldn''t help frowning and asking, "What
are you looking at? Is there anything on my face?"
She stretched her hand out and touched her own face, as if looking for some strange object on it.
"No, you are very good." Maranda hurriedly took Jean''s hand and smiled.
Both Ron and Calvin felt a bit embarrassed when Jean asked them the question. They just looked at
each other and then looked away.
"Jean, you have done a good job. Since you have messed everything up, they are so turned off and
they will definitely have no interest in me any longer." Maranda murmured to Jean.
"Have no interest in you? What do you mean?" Jean frowned and asked her in confusion. What
Maranda said sounded so weird!
"I mean......" Before Maranda was able to exin clearly, they were interrupted.
"She means that she has found the right person for help. You have sessfully attracted the attention
of both men."
The facial expressions of everyone present there changed immediately when they suddenly heard a
familiar and insinuating voice.
Maranda raised her voice while looking at the sexy and enchanting woman who had juste to join
their table. "Who are you?"
That womancently gazed at Jean and replied, "To know who I am, you should ask your friend."
