Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 927

"Zoey, I think we should just let it go," Vivi said, her mind still far off.

"Why? Vivi, are you afraid of her?" Zoey asked in confusion. She found it ridiculous that she would even think that.

Vivi felt her heart skip a beat at Zoey's words. She sneered, "Afraid of her? How could I, a respectable woman from the powerful Zhuang family, be afraid of a slut like her? Fine, let's go. I just want to see what kind of clothes that bitch is selling."

The two gallivanted towards the shop laughing and chatting. Meanwhile, Ximena had no idea what was coming for her.

She had just finished two consecutive meetings. She discussed with her clients what designs they would like and other important details. She sat at her table and sipped her tea to relax. She rubbed her own shoulders as a way to relax. When she scanned the room full of clothes that she designed, she couldn't help but burst with pride. She felt like she was looking at her own children.

When the word "children" came to her mind, her eyes dimmed.

"I thought it would be at least big but it's so small. Do they even have customers? Why would anyone go here? It's so cheap. Nothing new here, cheap clothes can only be bought by cheap people."

When Ximena heard this, she rushed right out as she already had a feeling on who they were. True enough, as expected, she found Vivi and Zoey standing outside. "I wonder what Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li will think if they hear you talking about the place that they had just ordered clothes from like that," Ximena spat.

Vivi's face turned pale. Although Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li weren't born to the royal family, they were both noble and respectable women. The Zhuang family wouldn't dare offend either the Zhao family and the Li family.

"You..." Vivi was speechless.

Ximena had her arms crossed over her chest and a cold smile was pasted on her face. "Me? Okay, go on. What about me?"

Zoey pointed at Ximena and spoke in an arrogant tone, "Hmm! Do you think that just because my brother gave you a shop that means that you're worth something? It means nothing! My brother will give me anything as long as I ask!"

"Anything? You think he'd give you Leng's Corporations if you wanted it?" Ximena interrupted her.

Zoey knew very well that Aaron would never give Leng's Corporations to her regardless if she wanted it or not. She was at a loss for words. Her face turned pale then green when she saw the triumphant look on Ximena's face.

Vivi rushed to Zoey's defense, "Hmm... Some people have seen so little of the world. Thus, they have no idea that what treasured is actually cheap as dirt. Like the saying goes, mistaking a stone for a treasure. However, they think so much of themselves, and feel proud of stealing things from others. It makes me sick just to look at you."

Ximena didn't want to argue with these senseless women. She wished she'd never seen them in the first place. If Ximena were being frank, sometimes, she thought the two of them as idiots. They were lucky they had been born into rich families because if they were in Ximena's place, they would have died a long time ago.

"What did you mean by that? Are you saying that Aaron is the stone, or that no one else sees how much of a treasure Aaron really is?" Ximena said in a cold voice and staring Vivi down.

Ximena's words enraged Vivi further. What she really meant was that the shop that Aaron gave to Ximena was so small but Ximena saw it as something special like a treasure. She would never say anything to demean Aaron.

"You..." she said, speechless.

Ximena stepped forward and grabbed Vivi's chin with her fingers, sneering, "I think you need to be reminded again. Aaron's warned you before. The last time you did this, things didn't turn out so well for you. Even a dog understands what not to do after being told off. I guess a dog's smarter than you, huh?"

Vivi's chin started to hurt from Ximena's tight grip. Her face reddened with anger at Ximena's words. Never had she been insulted like this in her entire life.

Angered, she slapped Ximena across the face. The sound reverberated throughout the shop.

The shop fell into a thick silence.

Zoey's eyes widened in disbelief. She shifted her glance from Vivi to Ximena. She never expected Vivi to resort to violence and she wondered why Ximena hadn't dodged the attack.
