“Throw that away. It’s dirty,” Wei Zhiqian suddenly said as he took the skewer from Tan Mo’s hand and threw it into the bin next to him.
The woman was completely stunned by his words, especially as she hadn’t even complained because Tan Mo had dirtied her hand.
“I…my hand is clean…” the woman stammered.
In order to make a good impression on Wei Zhiqian, she had even gone to the washroom to wash her hands with scented hand soap and applied hand lotion.
She had also checked her teeth to make sure that no food was stuck in them before reapplying her lipstick.
Of course, all her friends had done the same thing.
That was why she was sure her hands were clean. However, Wei Zhiqian didn’t even want to hear her explanation.
“But…what a waste. Uncle grilled that for me…” Tan Mo pouted.
“Don’t worry. There’s more coming your way,” Wei Zhiqian smiled warmly.
“How did you even think of stopping her with the skewer?” Qin Muye gasped as she shot Tan Mo a thumbs up. “Are you a genius?”
“Well, my arm wasn’t long enough, and that was the only thing within reach,” Tan Mo explained. “It’s also the only thing that can poke someone.”
The woman pouted as Tan Mo and her companions ignored her. However, she wasn’t going to give up just yet. “Hey cutie, may I know your name?” she asked Wei Zhiqian in a flirtatious way.
“Are you talking to me?” Wei Zhiqian frowned, unable to believe that she would ask him for his name. He turned to Tan Mo and asked, “Is this how young people talk nowadays?”
“Not me.” Tan Mo shook her head.
The woman frowned at Wei Zhiqian’s response. She could tell that he hated her direct approach.
“Why would I give you my name? We aren’t acquainted. Also, I’m too old to be addressed in that way,” Wei Zhiqian responded coldly.
Ming Yeqing almost choked on his food when he heard that response. So, you do know you’re old.
The woman was now completely stunned and had no idea how to react.
It took her a few seconds to recover, and she asked, “C…can I have your contact information?”
She decided to stop calling Wei Zhiqian a cutie.
The other three women all nodded and took out their phones, ready to add Wei Zhiqian on WeChat.
However, Wei Zhiqian frowned and replied, “No.”
And, once again, the lady was completely thrown off balance. It was the first time that she had ever been so blatantly rejected.
Under normal circumstances, a man would always welcome a woman who wanted to take his number.
Even if the man didn’t want to give his contact information, he could still refuse with a smile.
There was no one who would do what Wei Zhiqian had just done.
“Do you have a girlfriend?” she asked, not willing to give up just yet.
“No,” Wei Zhiqian answered honestly.
“Then, why can’t we have your contact information? We won’t bother you. We just want your number…”
Getting Wei Zhiqian’s number was a vital step. That was the only way she would have a chance with him.
Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing were both watching this event unfold as if they were watching a drama on tv. Both of them were curious as to how Wei Zhiqian would respond to that.
They had to admit that this woman had a lot of guts not to give up after being rejected.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiqian raised his head to glare at the woman with a serious expression.
“B*tch.” A single yet powerful word came out of his mouth.
Qin Muye, who had just taken a sip of her tea, couldn’t help but spit it out.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned sideways so that she wouldn’t spit at anybody. She was also lucky that she’d only taken a small sip or else she could’ve spat on the people sitting at the table next to them.
Ming Yeqing quickly fetched a tissue for Qin Muye to wipe her mouth. He was as utterly surprised as Qin Muye had been when Wei Zhiqian said that one single word.
Now, he was curious as to what had made Wei Zhiqian say such a thing. He even swallowed what he’d just been thinking about Wei Zhiqian being considerate to women.
The conclusion that Ming Yeqing came to was that Wei Zhiqian was only nice to Tan Mo, and he must think that the rest of the female population were b*tches.
Qin Muye stared at Tan Mo with her mouth wide open and thought, so Mo Mo has managed to brainwash him.
No matter how Qin Muye looked at it, there was no reason for Wei Zhiqian to call a woman a b*tch for wanting to know his number.
Being rejected impolitely by Wei Zhiqian in front of a crowd was a huge humiliation to the four women.
Especially the one who had been doing all the talking…
It was most likely that the word that Wei Zhiqian had just uttered was directed at her.
“D…do you have to be so rude? I was just asking for your number…” she wailed. “W…we aren’t b*tches…”
“Is that so? You tried to flirt with a man and even asked for his number without even knowing what kind of a person he was. Isn’t that part of the definition of being a b*tch?” Wei Zhiqian said and turned to Tan Mo. “You better never do the kind of thing that they just did, do you hear me?”
The thought of Tan Mo flirting with a man and asking for his number made Wei Zhiqian so furious that he almost snapped his chopsticks in half.
“No guys will appreciate you when you approach them first,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Your family and I didn’t raise you like a treasure so that you need to approach a guy first.”
“Okay.” Tan Mo nodded. She didn’t mind as she was too lazy to do such a tiring thing anyway.
“You’re gorgeous and successful. You should wait for a guy to make the first move,” Wei Zhiqian continued. “It definitely wouldn’t be worth it if you are the one who has to approach him first.”
Ever since she’d been a child, Tan Mo had never had to ask for anything. Her family and Wei Zhiqian would always prepare the things she wanted before she could even ask for them.
“I know,” Tan Mo smiled. “Don’t you worry, Uncle, I will never do something like that. Plus, there’s no guy out there that has the looks or the brains for me to want to approach him anyway. They aren’t even half as good as you are.”
“So, if they were as good-looking as me, you’d approach them?”
“Of course not!” Tan Mo quickly shook her head. “Why would I? It’s too much trouble. I would rather just go to sleep. There’s no one better looking than Uncle out there anyway.”
Qin Muye suddenly thought of someone and said to Tan Mo, “You’d say that because you haven’t met Wucai from the Wei family yet. You’d definitely like his looks. He’s like the most precious gem in a treasure box. He’s…”
Qin Muye suddenly paused as she could feel a cold, sharp gaze directed at her.
She turned around and saw that Wei Zhiqian was glaring at her coldly.
“He what?” Tan Mo asked. “What is he like?”
“N…nothing. Forget it.” Qin Muye laughed awkwardly and stopped looking at Wei Zhiqian. “I haven’t seen him for a long time and I’m not sure how to describe him..”
She tried to point at Wei Zhiqian with her lips so that Tan Mo would notice his angry glare.
Tan Mo turned around and saw that Wei Zhiqian wasn’t happy about the direction of the conversation.
“Well, no one is better looking than Uncle in my eyes,” Tan Mo quickly complimented him.
“Is that so? I’ll take that.” Wei Zhiqian smiled. Yet, in his head, he was pondering if he should let Tan Mo meet with Wei Wucai to see if she meant what she had just said or not.
Then again, Wei Zhiqian quickly dismissed that idea as it would be best if Tan Mo would never meet him.
Soon Tan Mo and her companions began to chat as if they were alone, leaving the four women hanging there, looking stupid.
The women were furious at the fact that not only had they gotten rejected by Wei Zhiqian in a humiliating way, but they had also been completely ignored by the entire group.
