Fluttering Skirt: “Group Owner, why are you also even speaking up for this little girl?”
Xu Wanwan finally reacted and gave the middle-aged man a faint smile. “Hello, Group Owner.”
The Group Owner nodded his head and then said, “Just A Bunny had helped the Li Group this time but refused to accept the reward. She said that the Li Group had once done her a favor and was only repaying it.”
With the Group Owner’s help in proving it, Fluttering Skirt no longer has anything to criticize.
Xia Momo sighed, “Just A Bunny, you’re really amazing. You worked so hard to help the Li Group get their data back, yet you didn’t accept a single cent from them.”
“It’s not that I don’t want anything, but the Li Group has really done me a favor before. I’m very happy that I can help them.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an icy and disdainful voice came from the doorway.
“Some people really talk about themselves as high and mighty. Our Li Group will not casually help others.”
Xu Wanwan looked toward the source of the voice and was stunned.
Li Xuyi was striding toward her. His eyes were still cold, and his lips was hooked up into a sarcastic smile.
Xu Wanwan turned her head and pretended not to see him.
To her surprise, Li Xuyi placed a chair beside her and sat down casually. He propped his elbows on the table and stared at her with a teasing smile. “You said that the Li family has done you a favor? Where did you even come from?”
Xu Wanwan stared at the corner of the table without changing her expression. “As long as my conscience is clear, it has nothing to do with you.”
Chen San knew that the two of them did not get along, so he quickly said, “Just A Bunny, I forgot to introduce him to you. Li Xuyi is actually also a member of the group, but he often dives, so we usually can’t find him.”
“But it’s my birthday today, so I called him over. If it bothers you, I’ll apologize to you afterward.”
Chen San still wanted to say something, but he was coldly interrupted by Li Xuyi. “You’ve never seen a woman in your eight lifetimes. How can someone like this charm you so much?”
“Li Xuyi, what are you saying in front of the Goddess? It’s my birthday today, don’t spoil it.”
Ever since Li Xuyi entered, Xia Momo’s eyes never strayed away from him. She tugged at him carefully. “Junior, don’t be angry. Everyone is celebrating Chen San’s birthday.”
Li Xuyi was as cold as ice, keeping his face straight and not saying a word.
However, Chen San was happy today and did not care about his mood at all. He talked to Xu Wanwan the whole time.
Li Xuyi’s face turned sullen when he saw Xu Wanwan ignoring him, as if he didn’t exist. In a mocking tone, he said, “I really didn’t expect such a noble scholar to come to the party.”
Xu Wanwan smiled and replied, “I also didn’t expect the Second Young Master of the Li family to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the party.”
“Why? Didn’t you confess your love to me a few days ago? Why are you acting so cold today?” Li Xuyi raised his chin with an arrogant look on his face.
Xu Wanwan didn’t want to lose face in front of so many people and denied, “Please don’t flatter yourself.”
“You weren’t like this when you pestered me before.” Li Xuyi sneered. “Now you don’t dare to admit it?”
So many people listened to their conversation and couldn’t help but start discussing.
Xu Wanwan listened to the gossip in her ears and became a little upset.
She turned on her phone and looked at the time. She stood up and said calmly, “It’s getting late. I’m going back first.”
Chen San said dejectedly, “We still have a lot of activities later. Won’t you play for a while?”
Xu Wanwan shook her head. “I still have things to do. Maybe next time.”
She was about to leave when Li Xuyi stood up and blocked her way. “It’s raining heavily outside. Are you sure you want to leave?”
He paused deliberately. “Or if you beg me, I can consider sending you back.”
Xu Wanwan frowned. “No need. Please move aside.”
Li Xuyi snorted. “Forget it if you don’t appreciate it. Don’t stick to me in school next time.”
Chen San saw that Xu Wanwan was about to leave, so he quickly said, “Why don’t we all go? I want to send Just A Bunny home.”
“There’s no need.” Xu Wanwan’s tone softened and said patiently, “You guys continue your fun. Someone’s coming to pick me up.”
Fluttering Skirt had been sulking for the whole night and couldn’t let this one go. “If no one’s going to pick you up, don’t try to be brave. They already got their cars, they can just send you home.”
“Yeah, since everyone is almost done eating, then let’s go back together.”
Some of them deliberated and left one after another.
Xu Wanwan couldn’t argue with Chen San, so she followed them downstairs.
When they walked out of the hotel, the sound of the rain became clearer. A group of people stood at the hotel entrance and chatted, waiting for the driver to pick them up.
The cold wind blew the cold rain onto the steps, and Xu Wanwan’s body was splashed with a few drops of rain. She took a few steps back and took out her phone, ready to call the driver.
“Hey, it’s raining heavily. Are you really going to head back by yourself?” Li Xuyi fiddled with the sports car keys in his hand, maybe intentionally or not. “If you say a few words to me—”
Xu Wanwan cut him off before he could finish. “I said it’s fine, I have someone to pick me up.”
Li Xuyi flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Then you can keep your mouth shut.”
After he finished speaking, he went straight to the hotel basement, got into his sports car and left.
Chen San walked over and tried to persuade her, “You should come home with us. Xia Momo and Fluttering Skirt didn’t drive, so Liu He and I will send them home.”
“No need, I’ve already called the driver.”
Fluttering Skirt scoffed. “Stop pretending, everyone’s the same. If no one answers, then no one will answer. Why do you keep rejecting them?”
Xia Momo couldn’t stand it anymore. “That’s right. You should listen to Chen San. It’s raining so hard right now, it’s not convenient to get around.”
Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to agree, a black top-class sedan came speeding over from the other side of the road.
The car stopped steadily in front of the hotel, and a man in a suit got out of the car with an umbrella and walked toward the hotel.
Xu Wanwan rubbed her eyes as she watched the man walk through the wind and rain. Her heart could not stop racing.
The sound of the wind and rain, along with the exclamations by her ears, all struck her heart.
“Oh my God, this man looks so rich. He drives such a good car.”
“Looks like the people who can stay in this hotel are all extraordinary…”
“That’s not right. Why is he walking towards Just A Bunny?”
“It’s true. Could he be looking for Just A Bunny?”
“How is that possible? Just A Bunny’s family is short of money. How could she know such a powerful person?”
Xu Wanwan stood frozen on the spot as she watched the man walking toward her and meeting his deep eyes. She panicked for a moment, even making her breathing become erratic.
“It’s so late. Why haven’t you gone back?” Li Jingran frowned and looked at the girl as he grabbed her arm and said in an inexplicably serious tone.
Xu Wanwan looked down at the puddles on the ground and stammered, “I was about to go back… I didn’t expect you to come.”
Li Jingran heard the caution in her tone and sighed in his heart. He tilted the umbrella to her side and said, “Let’s go..”
