Chapter 305 Jealousy Makes People Ugly

Ashley leaned over to Andrew and whispered in his ear, "Please try to put up with it, okay? I'll make it
up to you when we get back home."

Andrew's eyes lit up at her words. He glanced at the seat and then sat down without batting an eye.

Ashley shook her head helplessly and sighed.

'I'd better be more careful the next time that I accept an invitation from someone. I need to make sure
that Andrew feels comfortable with it, as well.'

Lena watched as Andrew and Ashley whispered intimately in each other's ear. She clenched her teeth
with hatred and jealousy.

But she swore to herself that it would all change. She would soon be the one standing in Ashley's
place. She would be the heroine of this story.

Ashley would lose her reputation, and Lena would replace her.

With that thought in mind, she felt much better. Lena said gently, "The love between you two is very
touching."

Ashley smiled and said nothing.

"Ashley, please order whatever you like, and you don't have to be modest."

Ashley picked up the menu and glanced at the prices. It was a high-end Chinese restaurant, and the
food on the menu was quite expensive.

The waiter stood patiently on the side, waiting to take their orders.



As Ashley read the menu, she had a glimpse of Lena. She noticed that Lena couldn't take her eyes off
Andrew the whole time. Ashley gave a little snort and thought, 'Well, since the Mu family didn't lack
money, then I'll order the most expensive dishes.'

So she flipped through the menu and picked the dishes with a three-digit price tag. "Well, I'll have the
Thai flavor fish with lotus fragrance, ribbon fish with soy sauce and garlic, crispy skin pepper gadus,
chicken with tremella in cucumber..."

Ashley wasn't paying much attention to the food. She was just ordering the dishes that had the highest
prices.

'Since she was the one that asked us out, I'll make her pay dearly for it. I'm not going to make things
too easy for her.'

After she finished ordering, she closed the big and elaborate menu. Smiling sweetly, she said, "All right.
That's all." Then she handed the menu back to the waiter.

But she suddenly thought of something and turned to Lena and asked, "Oh, I'm sorry, do you want to
order anything from the menu?"

"No, it's okay. I'm sure we'll like what you ordered," said Lena sweetly.

However, in her heart, she was cursing Ashley and wishing her to go to hell.

This meal was going to cost her an arm and a leg, and she wasn't looking forward to paying the bill.

Then she remembered that she wouldn't have to pay for the meal since Raymond was here. That
made her feel much better.

The waiter took the menu and left. While they were waiting for the food to arrive, Lena tried to strike up
a conversation with Ashley. Though Ashley didn't have much interest in her and she responded coldly



and briefly.

It seemed as if nothing was wrong. Even though Ashley's tone was cold, she still responded to Lena
every time that she said something to her.

Andrew was starting to feel peeved because Ashley was neglecting him. Once they had arrived, he felt
like Ashley had abandoned him completely. He couldn't understand what on earth Ashley had anything
to talk about with that woman.

'Isn't she supposed to hate her? Why is she having this small talk with her?

Luckily, she hasn't laid her eyes on Raymond once, since we got here.'

After a short while, the waiter returned with the food that Ashley had ordered. Lena wanted to say
something more but was interrupted by Ashley. "Let's eat first. We can talk later."

So Lena could do nothing, other than shut up.

Ashley tasted the food and thought, 'Yeah, it's pretty darn good. It deserves the steep price.'

While Ashley was enjoying the food, Andrew, who was sitting next to her, didn't touch it.

Lena noticed Ashley enjoying the food while Andrew just sat there watching her eat. Her eyes sparkled.

She said gently with deep concern, "What's wrong? Don't you like the food?"

She didn't address Andrew when she spoke to him. Subconsciously, she wanted to show her intimacy
with him.

Andrew frowned and didn't even bother to glance at her. He remained silent.



Instead, Ashley said with a faint smile, "Lena, why do you care so much about my husband? Your
fiance hasn't eaten much either. Why don't you show him the same concern?

Oh, and another thing. Stop staring at my husband all the time. I don't like it. We'll leave this place if
you keep doing something that I don't like.

Lastly, I can take care of my husband. He just doesn't like the food here."

After she said that, Ashley didn't bother to see what expression Lena had. Instead, she went back to
eating her food, ignoring Lena. She reached one of her hands under the table for Andrew's hand.

Lena's face froze after Ashley finished her words. She turned to look at Raymond, who was sitting
beside her. He wasn't pleased with her at all.

She was in a panic. Although she planned on breaking the engagement off with Raymond, they were
still an engaged couple. Lena might have been too obvious with her intentions and her behavior. She
was feeling guilty now.

Putting on an innocent face, Lena looked at Raymond and said sincerely, "Raymond, I wasn't doing
that. It's just that Ashley and Andrew are our guests. So I have to show some concern for them. You
aren't angry at me, are you?"

When Lena saw Raymond still fix his eyes on her, her eyes became tearful. "Raymond, don't you
believe me? I didn't. I really didn't."

Raymond sighed after seeing her act this way. "I believe you."

Lena sighed with relief.



When she turned her head back, she found Ashley was watching her with an invisible smile. Her heart
lurched with terror. 'Has she detected anything? But even if she does suspect something, what could
she do? I'll win in the end.'

Guests? Lena's intention was so obvious with what she wanted. Raymond said that he believed her,
but who knew what he was really thinking.

Either way, she had already planted the seed of suspicion in Raymond's heart. She couldn't do
anything about it for the time being. She would deal with it later.

For a moment, their table became awkwardly silent, until Ashley broke the silence by saying, "I have to
go to the bathroom."

After she left, Lena gave the same excuse and followed her.

Once the two ladies left the room, Andrew glanced casually at Raymond.

'Well, a pretty little face. Not as tall as me, and his physique isn't as good as mine. He doesn't know
how to take care of his girl as well as I do...' Andrew thought to himself while he regarded Raymond.

Andrew couldn't understand why Ashley fell in love with Raymond in the past. Now that he knew that
Ashley loved only him, his dislike of Raymond had changed into contempt.

Ashley washed her hands and fixed her hair. She was about to leave the bathroom when somebody
stopped her.

Ashley raised her head and saw the person who stopped her.

It was Lena who was standing in front of her.

They stared at each other for a few seconds in silence. At last, Ashley broke the silence.



"Lena, step aside, let me pass."

Lena didn't move. Instead, she took a step forward toward Ashley.

Ashley took a few steps back.
