Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Belittling Mo Jun’s Status
Is Hao Yansen blind? What’s so good about Shangguan Ya?
Song Ziqi felt it wasn’t worth it for her cousin, but soon her attention shifted.
Because she saw Shangguan Ya walking towards Mo Jun.
Shangguan Ya was famously fond of the limelight, and seeing someone else steal it would definitely upset her.
Song Ziqi suddenly felt gleeful, curious about what sort of sparks would fly between Shangguan Ya and that Luoyun.
Shangguan Ya indeed did not expect Luoyun to attend this banquet.
She couldn’t find Old Mr. Hao after looking around, so she had to return sullenly. And just as she returned, she saw Luoyun.
At first, Shangguan Ya thought she was seeing things, but the closer she got, the more certain she was that it was her.
“Luoyun, how come it’s you?” Shangguan Ya stepped forward, staring at her in disbelief.
What surprised her even more was how good Luoyun looked.
Mo Jun merely greeted her lightly, “Hello, Miss Shangguan.”
“Do you know each other?” a man asked in confusion.
Shangguan Ya immediately laughed, “Of course we know each other. Miss Luo has worked for my family before, and I even paid her a million as a reward.”
Shangguan Ya said this instinctively, but it was intentional.
Seeing Luoyun looking even better than her and stealing her thunder, Shangguan Ya felt inexplicably annoyed and wanted to put her down.
So she deliberately said those words to belittle Mo Jun’s status.
As expected, many people were surprised upon hearing this.
Mo Jun was not at all flustered and calmly said, “I would have forgotten about it if Miss Shangguan hadn’t mentioned it. Last time, you insisted on giving me a check, and I haven’t had the chance to return it. Now that we meet again, please take it back.”
With that, Mo Jun took out the check from her purse and handed it to her.
Shangguan Ya smiled faintly, “No need, it’s just a million, just accept it, it’s nothing special.”
“Thank you, Miss Shangguan, but I can’t accept unearned rewards. You should take back your million,” Mo Jun insisted.
There was no way Shangguan Ya could actually take it back; she was just afraid Mo Jun might spread what they had done.
That million was like hush money.
Besides, taking it back in front of so many people would be too embarrassing!
“Miss Luo, I, Shangguan Ya, never take back what I give out. Consider it a little gift for you, accept it, and don’t be too polite.”
Mo Jun also smiled, “But I really don’t see why I should accept this money. Besides, I don’t need this million.”
“How can that be? Isn’t your company just starting up and short on cash? Just take it and spend it however you like.” Shangguan Ya’s smile was fake, and no matter how you looked at it, it seemed insincere.
“Our company is just starting up, but we’re not short on money. If Miss Shangguan doesn’t want this money, then donate it to charity instead; there’s no need to waste it on me.” Mo Jun placed the check on the table and turned to leave.
Shangguan Ya didn’t expect her to give her no face at all, and her expression immediately turned cold with anger.
But she quickly put on a smile and handed the check to a servant, “Since some people are pretending to be noble, so be it. Go, donate it for me, consider it charity.”
“Okay.” The servant took the money and went directly to donate it.
The Hao Family held this banquet without accepting any gifts. They just set up a donation box, where everyone could donate as much as they wanted, and it would all go to charity.
Shangguan Ya thought it might as well be to curry favor with the Hao Family.
