Her delicate face fell, and she accused Chi Enen in frustration, "Enen, what do you mean? Are you trying to replace me? I am your cousin!"
"I know the Habsden family found you, and your identity is different from before, but you canât be too ungrateful. My Grandfather and my mom never treated you badly in the past, especially my Grandfather. You may have soared to success, but we havenât benefited from it. I came looking for you today just to reminisce. Forget that you didnât even offer me a drink of water, but itâs too much that you keep sneering at me!"
Chi Enen waited for her to finish and only then replied, "Iâm just suggesting that if youâre really that delicate, let someone else do the shoot. If you feel itâs sarcasm, thereâs nothing I can do."
Before Lin Nai could continue bringing up Lin Meiqi and Grandfather, she went on, "As for not benefiting from me, it shows you forget favors easily. Donât forget who pulled you out of the casino in Country Y."
"That was..." Lin Nai was about to say Young Master Li.
The words got stuck in her throat.
Chi Enen didnât just meet her today; she could guess eight or nine out of ten what she was about to say even if she didnât say it. Her gaze became even colder and indifferent, "And about me being ungrateful, you can ask your mom what she did? Why isnât she daring to benefit from me!"
Originally, Lin Meiqi threatened her with her Grandfatherâs life to make her find Li Beijue for help, making things absolute. Ever since then, knowing what she did, she never contacted her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Nai brought it up today.
"But even so, my mom is your aunt, at least sheâs been your aunt for 20 years. Even without blood relations, thereâs no difference from a real aunt, and Grandfather, Grandfather has been so good to you, at the very least you should show some consideration for Grandfatherâs sake." Lin Nai spoke, trying to mask her shame; Lin Meiqi had told her how she had threatened Chi Enen earlier, so now that Chi Enen had spelled it out, she wasnât that confident anymore.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"At least put in a good word for me with Young Master Li so that I can stay."
Seeing she was still unwilling to give up, Chi Enenâs gaze cooled completely, not even offering the courtesy of an additional glance, "Looks like you didnât hear what I just said clearly. If youâre really unable to do the shoot, I can make a call to get someone else now."
Saying this, she took out her mobile phone.
Lin Nai saw she was serious, her face turned green.
She had worked hard to snatch tomorrowâs advertisement from a group of female celebrities, having paid considerable âcosts.â If Chi Enen really made the call to replace her, all her efforts these days would be in vain. No matter how unwilling Lin Nai was inside, she still stopped her, "I can do the shoot! I can do it!"
Chi Enen put down her mobile phone.
"Enen, I wonât bother you anymore." Lin Nai, though filled with resentment, forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Iâm going to pack my luggage, bye. If you have time tomorrow, we can have a drink together."
Chi Enen didnât respond.
Which equated to a refusal.
Lin Nai clenched her fists tight, unwillingly turning to leave...
Chi Enen watched her walk away before heading into the villa.
The mood initially good was now turned gloomy because of the disruption by Lin Nai.
As soon as her foot was in, a certain person sitting on the sofa expressed dissatisfaction, "Where did you run off to? Why have you been missing for so long!"
