"How about this?"
"Considering that you and your husband are old acquaintances of ours, why don't you let him come work at my shop?"
"It's just running errands for me, handling some trivial matters. I'll pay him fifteen hundred a month, which is quite generous, right?" Mao Tianming said with a tone of condescension.
Ma Feifei chimed in, "Exactly! Having him run errands for me will allow him to see a broader world outside instead of just guarding the door for someone his whole life!"
When she mentioned "guarding the door for someone his whole life," Ma Feifei deliberately raised her voice, eager for those around them to hear.
Clearly, Ma Feifei's intention was achieved. Many people turned their heads to look.
Luo Qi's expression darkened slightly, but she still forced a smile and said, "No... that's not necessary!"
Ma Feifei laughed mockingly, "Qiqi, you really should think it over. There are plenty of people who want to run errands for my husband!"
Luo Qi shook her head, "He has a good job."
"Qiqi, you..."
Before Ma Feifei could finish her sentence, Mao Tianming interrupted her, "Since she doesn't want the job we offered, let's drop it!"
After saying that, Mao Tianming shot a glance at Ma Feifei.
Ma Feifei immediately understood his meaning and suddenly screamed, "Oh no!"
"Honey, the diamond necklace you bought me for a hundred thousand is dirty..."
She deliberately waved the pendant of the necklace in front of Luo Qi's eyes.
"It's just a diamond necklace; if it's dirty, so be it!" Mao Tianming shrugged and said, "There's a Charity Auction later; I'll buy you a beautiful diamond necklace then."
"You’re the best, honey! Love you to bits!"
After giving Mao Tianming a kiss, Ma Feifei turned to Luo Qi and asked, "Qiqi, since you're attending such a high-end networking event, why aren't you wearing any necklaces or bracelets?"
"I... I don't like wearing those," Luo Qi replied awkwardly.
When she married Ye Yiming, the only piece of jewelry she had was an old-fashioned silver ring, which Ye Yiming later pawned to settle debts.
"Qiqi, this won't do! In our upper-class society, jewelry is a woman's pride, and we can't afford to lose face!" Ma Feifei said in a lecturing tone. "How about this? During the Charity Auction later, you can have your husband bid on some jewelry for you!"
"Hey! Where's your husband?"
"He..." Luo Qi's expression changed slightly, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.
Mao Tianming spoke up again, " Feifei, look at what you're saying..."
"Qiqi's man is just someone who watches the door; how could he afford expensive jewelry? That comment was a bit hurtful!"
"Ah! I forgot about that!" Ma Feifei slapped her forehead and said, "How about this? To show my apology, my husband and I will buy you a piece of jewelry!"
Her tone was almost condescending, as if a high-and-mighty queen were bestowing a gift upon a slave.
Luo Qi's face grew increasingly grim, her emotions swirling like a pot of mixed flavors. No one could understand how she felt at that moment.
When she used to work with Ma Feifei, she was diligent and kind, and with her beauty, she was the goddess in the eyes of men. Back then, Ma Feifei was merely an accessory!
Time had passed. Now, she had fallen to the level of receiving charity. For the stubborn Luo Qi, this was something hard to accept.
