Chapter 1576: Replace

Yao Zheng pointed at Jing Xi and made others turn to look at her.

"I'm sorry, there was a lot of traffic on my way here," Jing Xi explained.

"No excuses! You should've woke up earlier then! Do you expect everyone to wait for you?"

"I'm sorry…"

Jing Xi lowered her head since she knew that further explanation would do her no good.

But Yao Zheng took it as a chance to show her power in front of everyone else.

"What makes you think a simple apology will be enough? Do you even know where you are? It's the palace! How dare you come in late on the first day! You're fired!"

Jing Xi couldn't believe her luck. Everyone was still staring at her, and she could only turn to leave.

"Wait!" Lan Yi suddenly shouted after Jing Xi had taken a few steps away.

Jing Xi turned and saw Lan Yi walking towards Yao Zheng.
