"I am sorry Mam, it"s just that I got tripped and the coffee was spilled over your dress" a timid voice came from the waitress.
"What...what you have just uttered..."it"s just that"... and what will I do with your sorry? Do your sorry can compensate my dress. Do you even know whom you have offended, I"m Long Jie " Jie said in an accusatory tone.
Daiyu and Guand was ready to speat something but Lifen signalled them that she will take the initiative. Then something expected but unexpected at this moment occurred. "And will the fact that you are Long Jie, the so-called heiress of Long Industries can change a small mistake into a crime?" Lifen interrupted her with a disgust look.
"Who are you? " Jie said in a baffled tone.
"No one if compared to you in your world. No, no wait how can I compare myself to you, a girl with a lowly heart. And in this moment you just have to know me as the one who can stand and ignore the tone with her" she said while glaring into her eyes.
Jie wasn"t able to collect her thoughts , until today no one has interrupted her while she was scolding anyone.
"Are you covering her mistake? " Jie asked.
"Exactly!! It"s just a mistake which you are portraying like a crime" she explained.
Speaking this she moved forward and handed Jie some money out her purse and then politely asked the waitress to bring another coffee for Mam.
"What are you trying to do? Your this petty money can"t afford this dress. Do you even know how much this dress cost?" Jie said with a smile of disgust on her face.
"Sorry Miss, but I don"t wanna know. I am really not intrested in your high-end dress. And by the way, this money may not bring your dress back nor it can afford the another similar dress but can surely solve this small chaos as now you can send your dress for laundry" Lifen said with a smirking smile on her face.
This irked Jie and she left the place giving a glare to Lifen. She was feeling highly insulted today. She took out her phone and speed dialed 1 and said with teary eyes and sobbing voice,"Brother let"s not meet today, I"m not feeling well".
There was a concerned cold voice on phone," What happen Jie, why are you sobbing? Is everything okay?"
"There is nothing like that Brother Ming...I am totally fine , it"s just I am not feeling well today. I am sorry for today, I know today we would have met after 3 months..." Jie said while she was interrupted by the one on the other end of the call.
" That"s completely okay dear. Your health comes first. Go and have some rest. I love you"
"I love you too" then she hung up the call and got into her call.

" Wow! That was impressive Lifen. You never let go off the opportunity to help others" Chang said from a distant while clapping his hands.
"We need to talk Chang", she said while looking at him. She asked Daiyu and Guang to go inside the party and help her ask farewell from others as it"s getting late and they need to return soon. They nodded to her and returned to the party leaving Chang and Lifen alone.
Lifen and Chang walked towards the garden. There was a feeling of uneasiness in her eyes. She doesnot wanted to hurt Chang"s feeling but she knew the false hopes will hurt him more.
"Chang...I wanna ask you something", she said breaking the silence between them.
"Okay....But you know you never needed a permission from me for that", he chuckled.
"Do you really want to be in my life", she asked. Hearing this, there was a sudden s.h.i.+ne in his eyes. He overjoyed. But he could say anything to her she interrupted and said with extreme warmth in her eyes, "Then you have to give up on loving me because I really wanna see you hurting yourself. We can be friends...real good friends. Now the choice is yours."
She didnot wanted to be rough but it was there was no other ways left to her. She left him there alone.
