Chapter 231
“Aurelia is so lucky. Her husband may not be rich, but he is considerate and handsome.”
“Having a good husband is indeed the best transformation a woman can get. Look at Aurelia. She looks completely different. She’s practically glowing.
“I finally know why people say that beautiful women will look good in anything. That’s what Aurelia is.”
The others chatted as they entered the restaurant and ignored the four people in dark expressions behind them.
“Jackson, let’s go in,” Millie said gingerly, worried that Jackson would leave.
“Millie, you better keep your mouth shut later,” Jackson warned. He would have left Millie if he didn’t need her for the next step of his plan.
“Alright. I know. Let’s not keep the guests waiting.”
Millie dragged Jackson into the restaurant and Kimberly followed suit, only to notice that her fiance wasn’t moving.
“What’s wrong?”
“Why didn’t you tell me who Aurelia’s husband is?” the man questioned.
“Her husband is just a normal salaryman. How can he compare to you?”
“Salaryman? Very well. I can’t afford to be with you. I need to leave.” With that, the man left without
hesitation.
Crossing the young master of the Mulan Group for Kimberly’s sake was simply not worth it.
Kimberly was livid. She turned to glare at Aurelia.
It was Aurelia again! She would make her suffer today!
Once everyone took their seats, Kimberly entered.
“Sorry, but my fiancé has something to take care of in the office. Forget about him. Let’s eat.”
Despite what she said, everyone could see the dark look on her face and knew that her fiancé didn’t
leave due to urgent business.
Still, they kept their mouths shut and waited for the dishes to be served.
Soon, fresh seafood dishes were brought to the table.
Although the portions were not large, they were delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Suppressing her resentment, Kimberly cast a pointed look at
He immediately stood up to pour drinks for everyone. “Raw seafood pairs well with alcohol and it can kill bacteria,” he remarked.
Nodding in agreement, everyone took a sip whether they were accustomed to drinking or not.
Aurelia didn’t want to be an exception and also took a sip.
However, after that gulp, she sensed that there was something off with the drink.
Was the alcohol in the Japanese restaurant usually this strong?
Jackson explained, “Today, Millie asked me to treat everyone well, so I specially brought my dad’s best liquor.”
“Mr. Morrison is really good to Millie.”
“Thanks to Millie, we are able to taste such good liquor.”
“This liquor is really good. It’s smooth down the throat.”
Millie blushed at the praise. In her happiness, she called the waiter to bring the menu. “Order whatever you like. This amount of money doesn’t mean much.”
Jackson didn’t object and played along with Millie’s generosity.
Their group consisted of around thirty family members, and the Japanese restaurant had to open up two private rooms to accommodate them..
Hearing Millie’s generosity, they passed the menu around to add more dishes.
When the menu reached Aurelia, she looked at the three–digit prices on some of the dishes. After some thought, she closed the menus and handed them to Leslie beside her.
Opening the menu, Leslie said calmly, “You don’t like seafood?”
Aurelia was momentarily surprised as she hadn’t expected Leslie to notice.
Pointing to the last page with the main dishes, he said, “I’ll order a bowl of plain noodles for you.”
Aurelia nodded. “Okay.”
This conversation reached Millie’s ears.
In a normal voice, she sarcastically said, “A bumpkin can’t appreciate delicate food.”
Aurelia’s face turned pale, but she chose not to argue.
After all, colleagues and their family members were all present.
To her surprise, Leslie casually put down his teacup, attracting the attention of the people around him.

Glancing at Millie, he said coldly, “Ms. Parker, there’s dirt on your face.”
Aurelia tugged at Leslie’s sleeve. “It’s not dirt. It’s blush.”
