His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Hu Lei was furious, but there was a thread of uncertainty in her heart. She did not know how to deal with this problem to ensure complete satisfaction. When she had been living abroad and on the road, she was never overly concerned about anything because she could deal with matters using violence. She could make a person disappear without anyone being the wiser.

However, she was no longer a person walking in the path of darkness. Moreover, she was not a passer-by in Supreme City. The metropolis had become her home, and she intended to live in this place for the rest of her life. She could not do anything to jeopardise a beautiful future that had been hard to come by.

She turned from the kitchen window and begun walking back to the lounge. Her mind was thinking about how she could permanently stop the foul atmosphere in the publishing house without destroying the company's reputation. After all, it was her Ah-Feng's.

"Don't worry about taking care of this small fry. I have already captured everything with my phone." Beatrice spoke encouragingly to Hu Lei as they entered the lounge.

Beatrice had recorded the scene because she knew that Hu Lei was not always attached to her phone like most people. Even though she was an assistant, she had been primarily hired by Zhong Feng to protect Hu Lei. The most important thing in Supreme City was to shield against schemes, not assassinations.

"But the video alone will not be enough to cut out the rot." Hu Lei spoke with frustration as she sat down.

"You can ask Bo Qian to deal with the situation." Beatrice suggested.

Hu Lei shook her head. She needed to learn how to deal with the problems in her new life properly. After all, she was Zhong Feng's wife. It would be a huge shame if she could not thwart the plots of small people. She could consider this case a little practice.

The lounge manager came in with a tray of tea and some cookies and placed them on the table before Hu Lei and Beatrice. She looked at them smugly as if she was waiting for them to defile their bodies with her disgusting bodily fluids.

Hu Lei glanced at the drinks and looked at the woman coldly. The lounge manager felt a shiver run through her body. She felt like she was facing a mighty enemy, a predator at the top of the food chain. The aura from the small author was not ordinary.

"Drink it." Hu Lei said suddenly.

"What did you say?" The woman asked.

"I said drink that tea." Hu Lei's eyes were like hard marbles, especially with the glinting yellow colour.

The lounge manager looked at the cups of tea and remembered how she had spat into them, even expelling some phlegm. She felt absolutely disgusted. Only a dog would eat what it had vomited. Even if the fluids were her own, the thought of consuming the tea disgusted her.

"I made this tea for you. Do not go too far with your bullying. You do not even know if it has been made the way you wanted. You can at least taste it before accusing me." She countered angrily.

"If you cannot drink this tea, I can only assume that you have tampered with it. Perhaps, you are trying to kill me with hidden poison." Hu Lei leaned back in the couch and looked the disgusting woman with piercing eyes, as if she could see her soul.

"You… you think that just because you are an author with some reputation, you are better than the rest of us?" The woman breathed heavily in anger.

"Naturally, I am better. Even your attempt to change the subject is quite poor. Now, drink the tea before I have the police here to test this tea for tampering." Hu Lei threatened.

The woman felt afraid because she did not what could be discovered. However, her salvation came suddenly and unexpectedly. The lounge door suddenly opened and two people walked into the room. One of them was quite familiar to Hu Lei.

"What is going on here?" The newcomer asked in a gentle and kind voice.

The lounge manager felt like she had been given amnesty. She looked at Hu Lei in triumph as she turned to Bei Gong Jiu.

"Miss Bei Gong, please help me get justice." Her voice had a wronged note.

Bei Gong Jiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Hu Lei seated nonchalantly in the room. She was afraid that her mask would be torn off. She had only been able to keep up pretences about her position because the real mistress had never appeared in the Sonata building.

If Hu Lei decided to deal with her, it might be difficult to maintain her privileges. However, her fear dissipated after a moment. There was no way the violent woman would attack her in public. There was too much to lose. Plus, there were surveillance cameras in the building.

"What is the problem?" She asked kindly.

"This person is accusing me of poisoning her tea." The manager pointed rudely at Hu Lei.

Hu Lei did not look affected. She seemed like she was quite comfortable. Bei Gong Jiu could not tell what she was thinking.

"Miss Hu, you should not treat people badly just because they are of a lower position than you. I have known the lounge manager for a while, and she is an honourable person." Bei Gong Jiu lectured while maintaining an attitude of the world's saviour.

The lounge manager looked at Hu Lei triumphantly. She was sure that this small-time author knew that Miss Bei Gong had the final say. There was nothing she could do to her.

"Miss Bei Gong, I am sure that you understand my concerns. After all, a lot of people want to see me disappear." There was a hidden message in the words. "However, since you are vouching for this person so strongly, you should drink the tea on my behalf."

The lounge manager felt her heart beat irregularly in fear. She could not afford to offend the future mistress of Zhong Industries. Her heart could not settle down even if she was certain that no one knew about her action, except for her friend.

"That's not necessary. I will make fresh tea for Miss Bei Gong. This tea is already cold." She explained with a stiff smile.

"So you expected me to drink cold tea?" Hu Lei did not provide a way out.

"It is alright. I will drink the tea. I believe in the lounge manager." Bei Gong Jiu said righteously. Her goal was to become an angel without blemish before the public. A clean reputation was worth everything in Supreme City. Even powerful people would find it difficult to deal with someone who was beloved by the public.

Furthermore, there was no way that the lounge manager would have the guts to poison the tea. The highest probability was that Hu Lei was using her position as Zhong Feng's lover to bully people. She could use this to further blacken Little Ninja Cat's reputation.

She walked forward and picked the two cups of tea and presented one to her assistant. The two of them drank deeply from the cups, completely missing the lounge manager's look of fear. Hu Lei did not feel guilty about this turn of events. After all, the source of this problem was Bei Gong Jiu.

The stupid woman had borrowed someone's hand to deal with her. It was her misfortune that the plan had backfired in such a beautifully ironic way. Anyway, there was hardly any risk to her health. However, what face would she make when she discovered everything?

Beatrice shivered a little when she discovered at the subtle but eerie smile on Hu Lei's face.
