MFIMM Chapter 20
by VolareBeing Bullied
“Hehe.” Lin Xi thought Pei Jiashu was praising him, his old face flushed, and he ladled a bowl for himself. Although he didn’t scoop up the soup at the bottom, there was still some burnt taste, but Lin Xi was still very satisfied with himself.
Until he ate a broken eggshell.
“Pui, pui, pui.” Lin Xi took a tissue and spat the egg out of his mouth, “Didn’t I pick out all the eggshells?”
He looked up and saw Pei Jiashu’s gloating eyes across from him.
“I got an eggshell in my first bite.”
“Then why did you say, ‘As expected of me…’?” Lin Xi asked in confusion, but before he could finish, he realized that Pei Jiashu wasn’t praising him at all, but mocking him.
Lin Xi was so angry that he almost chewed the tissue.
—
Since he had agreed to go to the charity gala with Pei Jiashu, he simply took a day off for Pei Jiashu the next day.
Lin Xi: CEO Pei, I’m going to buy clothes today, so I won’t be at the company.
Pei: How long can it take you to buy clothes?
Lin Xi: It’s hard to say…
Lin Xi: Cat is angry.jpg
Pei: Alright, approved.
Lin Xi wore large sunglasses on his face, covering most of it. He had over ten thousand followers now, so he had to pay attention to his image.
“Lin Xi!” Chen Mingxuan noticed Lin Xi in the crowd from afar and ran over, waving.
Lin Xi had invited Chen Mingxuan to go shopping with him last night, and since Chen Mingxuan was a freelancer anyway, he came to keep him company.
Lin Xi took out the bank card Pei Jiashu gave him, “There’s 300,000 in this card, so us two country bumpkins can splurge a bit.”
“Oh my god, Pei Jiashu is pretty generous with you.” Chen Mingxuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the bank card, and his sinful hand slowly reached out, about to touch the bank card.
Before he could touch it, Lin Xi quickly put the bank card back in his pocket. Chen Mingxuan’s hand could only hang in mid-air, reluctantly retracting it after a long time.
They went straight to the suit store. The suits they bought for the autumn recruitment interviews were only a couple of hundred yuan, but now they were stepping into a ready-to-wear store that cost tens of thousands.
“What do you two need?” A clerk in the store came out, observing Lin Xi and Chen Mingxuan. They looked young and the clothes they wore weren’t expensive.
“He needs a suit he can wear.” Chen Mingxuan pointed to Lin Xi first.
The clerk glanced at Lin Xi and reluctantly led them inside, pointing to the clothes on the rack and saying, “You can look at these clothes.”
After speaking, he stood aside and played with his phone.
Lin Xi looked at the rack. Since it was a charity gala, the clothes couldn’t be too bright, but being too dull didn’t suit his style either.
He picked out a few and compared them to himself, asking Chen Mingxuan, “Which one do you think looks good?”
“I can’t tell, why don’t you try them all on?”
“Excuse me, where are the fitting rooms?” Lin Xi asked the clerk.
The clerk pointed to the corner on the right, muttering softly after Lin Xi turned around, “Can’t you see such big letters?”
Lin Xi turned his head with good temper, saying with a fake smile, “Sorry, it’s my first time in this store, I really didn’t see it clearly.”
The clerk was instantly silenced.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and took the clothes into the fitting room. The first one was a pure black suit, but the shirt inside had sparkling rhinestones, making him look like a little prince.
Chen Mingxuan gave a thumbs up, “Looks good.”
Lin Xi took out his phone and took a picture of himself in the mirror, then went to try on the second suit. This one was pure white, and the shirt inside was made of chiffon, which draped very well.
Chen Mingxuan said tangledly, “I think this one looks good too.”
Lin Xi tried on a few more, and unsurprisingly, Chen Mingxuan said they all looked good. Lin Xi seemed unsurprised, sat on a small sofa, and sent all the pictures he had just taken to Pei Jiashu.
Lin Xi: Which one do you think looks better on me?
Lin Xi: Kitten rolling around.jpg
Lin Xi leaned on the sofa. Instead of relying on a straight alpha like Pei Jiashu to reply to him, he might as well post it on Weibo and let his ten thousand followers help him choose.
He just wanted to get back at Pei Jiashu for yesterday’s events and give him something to do.
But he didn’t expect Pei Jiashu to reply so quickly.
Pei: Choose the white one, the black one makes you look like you’re five-five.
“Five-five?” Lin Xi stretched out his legs. Although he wasn’t 1.8 meters tall, he was still relatively tall among omegas.
Chen Mingxuan looked at Lin Xi getting angry at his phone for no reason, “Are you okay, Lin Xi?”
“Pei Jiashu said I’m five-five!” Lin Xi complained to Chen Mingxuan about Pei Jiashu, and handed the phone to him.
Chen Mingxuan took a look, and it wasn’t saying Lin Xi was five-five, it was just talking about the clothes.
But he still echoed Lin Xi, “He’s a bad guy, our baby has a great figure.”
Lin Xi was happy now, and said to the clerk, “Please get me the white suit I tried on just now.”
The clerk took the suit down with a pole, and Lin Xi took it and compared it in front of the mirror.
“Seriously, always making me get things when they’re not even buying anything.” The clerk rubbed his shoulders, muttering softly.
But Lin Xi still heard it.
Lin Xi had just tried on four or five clothes, and two of them were hanging up and needed the clerk to help take them down. After all, he had bothered the clerk, so Lin Xi said with a good temper, “Thank you for your trouble.”
The impatience on the clerk’s face couldn’t be hidden at this time.
“Are you going to buy this one?” he asked.
Lin Xi felt that the chiffon shirt inside the white one was a bit casual, and was hesitant for a moment.
“Seriously, running into a freeloader again, unlucky.” The clerk rolled his eyes, reached out and snatched the clothes from Lin Xi’s hand, hanging them back on the rack.
“Huh?” Lin Xi’s hand suddenly felt empty, and he looked at the clerk with some anger and helplessness, “Of course we have to try on clothes to see the effect.”
The clerk rearranged the clothes, turned his head after hearing Lin Xi’s words, and muttered softly, “It’s obvious you can’t afford it.”
Lin Xi took a deep breath and slammed the bank card on the table. If he came to buy it himself, he definitely couldn’t afford it, but Pei Jiashu gave him 300,000! He could buy ten pieces and still be fine.
“Check how much money is in this card yourself!”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Chen Mingxuan stood beside Lin Xi with his hands on his hips, feeling inexplicably happy.
The clerk scoffed lightly, “Who knows if you’re taking out all your wealth to show off, it’s not like I haven’t seen people like this before. If you’re not buying, then get out and don’t waste my time.”
Lin Xi took the bank card back, really hating that his attack power was insufficient.
“Where’s your manager, I want to complain about you!” Chen Mingxuan rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to have a big fight.
The clerk said with confidence, “It’s useless even if you call the manager.”
“I don’t believe it.” Chen Mingxuan found the mall’s complaint number on his phone and called it in front of the clerk. After a while, the mall manager came, and the ready-to-wear store manager also came.
As soon as the clerk saw the manager, he started to complain first, “Manager, these two have been trying on clothes here for an hour and haven’t bought a single piece, and they’ve been taking pictures all the time. It’s obvious they’re not here to do business with us, they might be competitors.”
The manager’s face changed when he heard this, and he scanned Lin Xi up and down.
“How can you slander people like that? We’re just normal customers here to buy clothes!” Lin Xi looked at the clerk angrily.
The manager also had an unbelieving expression. Lin Xi and Chen Mingxuan weren’t wearing any brand names, and it was obvious they couldn’t afford the clothes in their store.
“Forget it, we won’t complain, and we won’t buy anything either.” Lin Xi saw that they couldn’t reason with them and planned to give up, but the manager came up and grabbed his arm, “Wait, you have to delete the photos you took in our store.”
Lin Xi had originally thought about taking a step back and the sea would be wider, he was here to buy clothes, not to make enemies, but the feeling of being wronged was really uncomfortable.
“Have you finished buying?” The phone suddenly vibrated, and Lin Xi unlocked it and found that it was sent by Pei Jiashu.
On a whim, he dialed Pei Jiashu’s phone.
Pei Jiashu was in a meeting when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated continuously. He thought it was Lin Xi bombarding him with messages again, but when he looked, it was actually Lin Xi calling him.
Which side is the sun rising from today?
He indicated that the meeting would be suspended for ten minutes, “Sorry, I need to take this call.”
“Hello, husband…”
Pei Jiashu almost spat out a mouthful of water and quickly stood up from his chair and went outside. Lin Xi’s voice was a bit aggrieved, and he didn’t know what had happened.
He cleared his throat and tried to lower his voice and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Someone here said I can’t afford their clothes, and they’re spreading rumors that I’m their competitor, and they want to look at my phone.”
Lin Xi’s voice trembled slightly. Although there was a performance element, Pei Jiashu’s heart still tightened.
Two “and,” you could tell how angry Lin Xi was.
“Where are you, I’ll come find you.”
Lin Xi was his legal wife, after all, and only he could bully him. If someone else bullied Lin Xi, wouldn’t that be bullying him?
“No, you don’t need to come, just have Assistant Song come over.” Lin Xi quickly stopped himself, if he continued to act, his disguise would probably fall off.
Pei Jiashu’s warm heart was drenched in cold water by Lin Xi. Was he not as good as Assistant Song?
The phone was hung up, and a location was added to the chat box.
Lin Xi: You said you would fulfill any request I had after marriage. I can’t argue with them, so have Assistant Song come over and insult them!
Lin Xi: Kitten angry.jpg
Pei: Hehe
Lin Xi: Please (starry eyes)
Pei Jiashu opened Lin Xi’s location and looked at the name of the mall. It wasn’t a coincidence, the mall belonged to his old man.
Although he didn’t hold a position in the company, he was his father’s only son, after all, and it was okay to use this identity occasionally.
He directly called the person in charge of the mall, “Hello, this is Pei Jiashu, my wife is being bullied in your mall. Is this how your mall serves customers?”
The person in charge was a little unfamiliar with the name, and the person next to him reminded him, “This…this is the Pei family’s young master!”
“Quickly find someone to go to the mall and see what’s going on!”
Pei Jiashu hung up the phone with satisfaction, and reluctantly sent the location to Assistant Song, “Lin Xi is being bullied, go take a look.”
Assistant Song came out of the office, and Pei Jiashu thought for a while, took out a black card from his pocket, “Accompany him to buy clothes, buy him whatever he likes.”
Watching Assistant Song leave, Pei Jiashu returned to the office to continue the meeting, but his mind was not in the meeting.
Pei: Idiot, you can cause so much trouble just buying clothes.
