Chapter 16

"Nurse, may I ask where Ms. Ling Yinan is? She was just brought in because of a car accident, I heard she was sent here."

Ling Ye and Jiang Moxi reached the hospital emergency room and immediately grabbed a passing nurse to ask.

"She's in the bed at the very end over there."

Seeing the worried look on Ling Ye's face, the nurse also comforted him: "Aside from a bit of concussion and some scratches, requiring hospitalization for two days of observation, there's nothing serious."

Ling Ye obviously felt relieved, thanked the nurse several times, and then quickly walked towards the hospital bed.

Jiang Moxi, afraid that Ling Ye's Mother would misunderstand their relationship, didn't follow and just watched from a distance.

After Ling Ye reached the bedside, he still checked up and down, holding Ling Yinan's hand.

"Are you really okay? Do you need to get full-body X-rays? To see if there are any fractures anywhere?"

"It's fine, all the necessary checks have been done."

Ling Yinan gently patted Ling Ye's back, comforting him, "Mom is okay, sorry to have worried you."

Ling Yinan was very beautiful, even without makeup, and even with a slight abrasion on her forehead, it couldn't hide her beauty.

But what Jiang Moxi envied the most was Ling Yinan's tenderness and love.

Such feelings, she had never felt from Yu Man.

Jiang Moxi looked on for a while before taking her eyes off and leaving the emergency room.

At the entrance of the emergency room, she saw two girls dressed in Lolita skirts walking this way.

The girl in the pink-white Lolita skirt had lighter makeup and looked more obedient.

But she simply ignored the girl in the black Lolita skirt, who had heavier and eerily intense makeup and looked worriedly at her.

"Ling Hua, it's my birthday on Saturday, I want to throw a party at Night Color."

The girl addressed as Ling Hua seemed to be in a rush and said, "If you want to throw a party, go ahead."

"That's settled then, you'll foot the bill and I'll be the host."

The girl in the pink-white Lolita skirt reminded her of this before letting go, contentedly leaving.

Jiang Moxi inadvertently heard their conversation and couldn't help but marvel that there was still this kind of bold move like "I'll be the host, you pay," and couldn't help but take a few more looks at the unfortunate Ling Hua.

But then she saw Ling Hua walking towards Ling Yinan and Ling Ye: "Mom, where are you injured?"

This dark Lolita girl, she is Ling Ye's sister?

Jiang Moxi, belatedly realizing, withdrew her gaze and quietly left.

Night Color had no shortage of guests; those who came here to relax were either rich or noble, and almost all would tip the waitstaff.

The team leader, Li Qin, assigned them work, and today Jiang Moxi and Yu Na were arranged to serve on the first floor.

As soon as the two arrived on the first floor, Yu Na made an insinuating comment.

"The guests on this floor usually have more regular tastes, you might not have much room to shine here."

Previously, Lin Xian had openly expressed his love for Jiang Moxi in the VIP room, causing Yu Na to doubt her own beauty.

Moreover, since Lin Xian still hadn't given up on Jiang Moxi, even now at Night Color, he didn't dare to look for female escorts, let alone waitresses like Yu Na.

Therefore, Yu Na had completely taken a dislike to Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi didn't mind her sarcasm, simply replying indifferently: "I hope so."

There were plenty of people who disliked her, and Yu Na's type wasn't even ranking high on the list, so why bother with her?

Afterward, both entered the VIP rooms to serve the guests.

The guests on the first floor were mostly nouveaux riches, lacking in depth, with relatively simple and crude aesthetics.

The likes of Yu Na with her assembly-line produced v-line face and big eyes were very popular.

After serving some drinks, Yu Na came out with pockets full.

In contrast, Jiang Moxi didn't earn a single penny in tips.

Even the drinks she was supposed to serve just now were poured by Yu Na instead, as the bosses found her so ugly they told her to stand aside and let Yu Na do it.

This instantaneously restored Yu Na's confidence, and she acted especially smug in front of Jiang Moxi.

"Can't help it, as Lu Xun once said, scrutinizing an ugly person is a kind of cruelty."

Jiang Moxi wasn't sure if Yu Na was trying to show off her literary cultivation in front of her, but felt the need to correct her.

"That was said by Mr. Qian Zhongshu."

Yu Na was stunned, "Qian Zhongshu? You sure?"

Jiang Moxi sheepishly replied, "Certain. Mr. Qian Zhongshu also said, 'You're not hateful, but you're utterly useless!'"

"You..." Yu Na realized that Jiang Moxi wasn't instructing her on how to recognize famous sayings but was actually mocking her.

Just as she was about to scold Jiang Moxi, she heard a hearty male laugh from behind.

"Quite articulate, insulting someone without using swear words."

Jiang Moxi and Yu Na followed the sound and saw Fu Youhan sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Chi Jing toward them along with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's signature peach blossom eyes were looking at Jiang Moxi with a hint of admiration—it was clear that the previous comment came from him.

However, Jiang Moxi's gaze involuntarily fell on Fu Youhan.

The man wore a black suit paired with a haze blue shirt, his side profile enchanting.

Even in a wheelchair, he exuded nobility and elegance, a strong visual impact.

Jiang Moxi wanted to greet him; after all, Fu Youhan had helped her before, and he had also seen her real face.

She had once thought that their relationship was different.

But she quickly noticed that the glance Fu Youhan directed at her was distant, as if he were treating a stranger.

So the words "Uncle" that she almost uttered were stifled in her throat.

"What's with the dilly-dallying? Weren't you supposed to talk about that collaboration?"

Aside from that brief glance, Fu Youhan did not pay any further attention to Jiang Moxi, instructing Chi Jing to push him toward the elevator.

His cold urging also forced Ye Chen to quickly catch up to him, grumbling, "You're not usually this eager, are you?"

The trio soon disappeared at the elevator entrance.

Jiang Moxi swiftly withdrew her gaze, the corners of her lips subtly curving into a smirk, mocking her own wishful thinking.

To Fu Youhan, those previous favors were nothing but simple gestures, and as for seeing her true face...

With his status, he must have seen plenty of beautiful women.

As for why she felt their relationship was different, it was probably because Fu Youhan was her first man.

But Fu Youhan did not know that she was the woman from that night.

So, their relationship was not different after all...

As Jiang Moxi was self-deprecating, Yu Na seemed to have been awed by the presence of Fu Youhan and Ye Chen.

She forgot her previous displeasure and even excitedly latched onto Jiang Moxi's arm.

"Moxi, that was Third Master Fu and Young Master Ye just now. Gosh, they're truly from the top elite families of Yan City, with a manner and presence unlike any others. If I could get close to one of them, I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of my life."

"Snap out of it. It might be dark, but you still have to work."

Jiang Moxi withdrew her hand and headed to another private room as instructed by the walkie-talkie from team leader Li Qin.

But she never imagined that she would encounter Lin Xian and his rowdy bunch of friends.

And there were heart-shaped candles set up in the room, with constant jeers from the crowd.

Lin Xian was even holding a bouquet of flowers, standing amidst the flickering candlelight, gazing affectionately at Jiang Moxi.

Tonight, he came prepared with everything women like the most.

His good friend Cheng Mingxiu even said that he has prepared a trump card to help Lin Xian capture Jiang Moxi in one fell swoop…
