NovelEnglishLittle Miss Devil: The President's Mischievous Wife
Chapter 242: What Was so Special About Her?When she hadn't heard a word from Lu Xinyi, Luo Yin dared to lift her gaze and saw Lu Xinyi staring back at her as if devouring her soul. As to how this woman could emit such strong presence—Luo Yin had no idea.
Lu Xinyi wasn't angry. There was no trace of disgust or frown in her face, but the way she looked made Luo Yin feel uncomfortable. She was harder to read than Mo Lihui.
Not waiting for Lu Xinyi to say another word, Mo Lihui spoke, "Luo Yin, your actions have caused trouble for Blue Haven. I expect to receive your resignation letter as soon as possible."
Lu Xinyi wanted to give her a round of applause. She'd expected Mo Lihui to protect herself at Luo Yin's expense. She was interested to see how far Mo Lihui could sacrifice her subordinate just to save her face.
"No! Miss Mo! Please." Luo Yin panicked and grabbed Mo Lihui's arm and went hysterical. Why was her mistress being mean to her today? She just did what Mo Lihui told her to do.

"Putting an edge between two restaurants just before the competition starts? Ah, why am I not surprised by this?"
"Resign? Don't you think you're going overboard, Miss Mo? Wasn't it your idea that she delivered your gift? If I were you, I would just give Luo Yin suspension and let her do some menial work in the kitchen."
Lu Xinyi's comment and 'pity' surprised everyone. They believed that Luo Yin should be fired from Blue Haven so she wouldn't cause troubles in the future. Lu Xinyi had the right to demand some justice, but she instead gave Luo Yin compassion and asked for a lower punishment for her.
This caused Lu Xinyi's image to turn into a favorable one. Their views about her improved.
The rumors about her not being capable to run Grace Palace were almost forgotten. After being fired from Blue Haven, Luo Yin would surely suffer and wouldn't get another job easily. With Lu Xinyi's 'plea', Luo Yin would get a chance to redeem herself after this.
Mo Lihui's expression darkened. She'd underestimated Lu Xinyi. With her outstanding acting as a victim and her false 'compassion' for Luo Yin, Lu Xinyi was able to outwit Mo Lihui. Now, Mo Lihui hated Lu Xinyi even more. Not only Lu Xinyi came into the scene to challenge Blue Haven's authority, but she also came with Shen Yi at her side!
Mo Lihui restrained her anger. She deeply wanted to lash out at Lu Xinyi but forced herself to endure.
Endure this humiliation. She would make sure Lu Xinyi would suffer a greater defeat later. This was what she kept chanting to herself.
"She's right, Miss Mo. You don't have to fire Luo Yin to teach her a lesson. Miss Lu is giving her a chance to change herself. If she dared not to use it well, then Luo Yin doesn't deserve Miss Lu's pity."
"Miss Lu is really a good woman. She doesn't hold grudges. She's kind enough to forgive someone who offended her."
"Fine." Mo Lihui gave up. "Luo Yin, you'll work with the dishwashers and as a kitchen porter for two weeks. Use that time to reflect on your mistakes."

Her hopes went crashing down as she saw Shen Yi focused his full attention at Lu Xinyi as if she was the center of his universe.
Why? What was so special about Lu Xinyi that he would rather ignore other people?
Mo Lihui never experienced being rejected before. With her cold beauty and unsurpassed talent in cooking, men fell in line just to get her attention. Then why it didn't work with Shen Yi?
The bitterness in her heart grew to another level. What else should she do for Shen Yi to notice her? Had he already forgotten about her?
The commotion ended without further problems, but Lu Xinyi was aware that this wasn't the end of it. The jealousy on Mo Lihui's eyes wasn't lost to her.
"Luo Yin didn't even say thanks. She kept her nose stuck at her mistress's ass as if she'd saved her." Yang Liqing snorted as she closed the main doors of Grace Palace Restaurant.
"What do you expect from her? That master and servant are quite a pair." Lu Xinyi stretched her arms in the air and felt the coldness of the afternoon. Soon, very soon, the competition would start; and it was time to re-introduce Grace Palace to the public.
Luo Yin followed her mistress to the Blue Haven Restaurant.
"Miss Mo… it wasn't really my fault…" Luo Yin sniffed and wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
"Enough. Cease your crying. I know that it was Lu Xinyi who started it. She brought shame to us, and I will make sure to get back to her! For you, Luo Yin, I'll beat Lu Xinyi today and let the world know that she cannot just appear from nowhere and play with us!"
