Leila took a look at Renee’s stance and it seemed as if she wanted to have a fight. Leila stood up immediately, “Ms. Russell, what a coincidence and welcome, let’s all sit together! Renee, please sit down!”
Callum also pulled her, “Sit down, Renee! Mr. White, please have a seat!”
Vincent nodded slightly and his gaze flashed sharply when he looked at Renee, as if he was a little impatient.
“I’m a little curious because I don’t know who she is yet!” Renee’s eyes swept over Vincent’s instantly gloomy face and frowned, “It’s just a little weird that Mr. White doesn’t accompany his own wife to have a dinner, but actually accompanies someone else. Is it possible that the gossip is all true now?”
“Renee!” Leila said righteously.
Renee had no choice but to stop saying anything and hummed as she sat down.
Pippa smiled gently, and sat down without giving any explanation.
Pippa sat down next to Leila, with Vincent in between. Renee looked a bit annoyed and wanted to say something else but was stopped by Leila’s almost pleading gaze. As her chin was raised, Renee looked away from her face. She was unwilling to look at a mistress!
Just like that, Pippa and Vincent joined the three for the dinner.
Leila’s eyes swept a quick glance at Vincent and found him glancing at herself deeply. She instantly flustered, her eyes dodged for a moment, and then immediately calmed herself down. Why should she be vain, she had done nothing wrong, she would not be vain.
Her eyes glanced at Pippa’s eyelids, which were still a little swollen. She had cried a lot last night, hadn’t she? The chin seemed to be a little bruised which was covered up by the foundation make-up.
Leila wondered what had happened when she thought of her crying so badly last night, and she was not at liberty to ask.
“Ordering!” Callum greeted the waiter.
Callum gave the menu to Leila. “Leila, take your order!”
“I don’t know what to eat, Ms. Russell, take your order!” Leila pushed the menu to Pippa.
“Oh fine! I’ll order!” Pippa spoke to the waiter impolitely.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Leila smiled gently, her sight falling on the cup in front of her without speaking.
Renee frowned and glared at Callum and lightly hummed, “By the way Callum, do you still remember our classmate, James?
“James? Oh, do you mean the boy from our junior high school with slightly bulging eyes?”
“Yes!” Renee clapped his hands in unusual excitement. “ Boy, you have a good memory! I’m telling you, he’s married to Maria in my class! Do you still remember Maria? The girl with a little freckle on her face who sat behind me when I was in school!”
“Yeah, I still remember!” Callum seemed to understand what Renee was going to say next and wanted to stop it, but he subconsciously glanced at Vincent and looked at Pippa. He was really worried for Vincent. Renee’s destructive words were really terrifying!
“James was seen hooking up with a woman and I heard that they were having a sex in a five-star hotel, and Maria found out about it. At first, Maria put up with it, but then she couldn’t stand it any longer. Maria cut off James’s penis in a fit of rage!” Renee sighed with a tsk, “I feel sorry for James, he can’t be a real man for the rest of his life! What’s even more pitiful is that Maria has to go to jail for seven years for committing intentional assault. Damn it! A man who cheats on his wife should be sentenced in court, so why should women who have defended their legitimate rights be sentenced? This is not reasonable at all, it seems that the law needs to be improved again!”
“Uh!” Callum could only nod his head. “I have heard about this!”
Vincent’s eyes abruptly blazed, he was so smart that he could understand the meaning of Renee’s accusation. A chilly aura erupted from his grim face. His condescending eyes turned around, and a pair of sharp eyes swept over Renee’s face.
Renee also did not show any sign of weakness, raised her chin slightly and continued, “Would you say that Maria are pitiful?”
“Pitiful!” Callum could only nod his head. “But ...”
“But what?” Renee immediately raised his voice, and the tone sounded as if he would be the next one to be sentenced to castration if Callum said anything to defend James.
“Nothing. I just think it was not worth it for Maria. There are so many good men out there, and she doesn’t have to stay with him. Don’t you think so?” Callum’s words were said in an unusually implicit manner.
“Ha! When you are dealing with a flirtatious and cheating man, you have to cut off his penis without hesitation. We wouldn’t want to kill him either, just let him never be a real man for the rest of his life. We will never tolerate adultery.”
By now, Leila also understood what Renee meant. My goodness, she was messing with Vincent by saying this on purpose. She saw that Vincent’s face had turned dark. She was even more worried, how could this be? What a mess!
He had an iceberg-like, unsympathetic and sharp handsome face. The whole scene became pretty serious.
Leila raised her eyes to look at Renee, she winked at Leila and smiled, “Leila, James and Maria are both my and Callum’s classmates!”
“Well hmmm!” Leila could only nod her head, she didn’t want the atmosphere to be too awkward. However, she was thinking in her mind what if she pissed off Vincent? This Renee was really giving her too much trouble!

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
