When questioned, Wang Rui hesitated and stammered, refusing to explain the situation. His expression grew increasingly complicated, as if he had suffered a great injustice, leaving the three roommates completely bewildered.
But under repeated questioning from the three,
Wang Rui explained it in detail again.
It turns out that when Wang Rui drove to meet Shen Lan last night, it wasn't just the two of them; Shen Lan also brought a girl with her.
At first, Wang Rui didn't think much of it and generously invited the two to dinner at a high-end restaurant in Yanjing. He even did a lot of flattering things in order to leave a good impression on Shen Lan's friend, thinking that he could get the other party to say some good things about him.
However, to everyone's surprise, after dinner, the three of them went to a music bar for a while, and Wang Rui discovered that Shen Lan and this female friend were having an overly intimate relationship.
Wang Rui thought he had misread it and didn't think much of it. Since Shen Lan had drunk quite a bit, he suggested that they stay at a nearby hotel for the night.
Wang Rui naturally wouldn't refuse, so he booked two rooms. Wang Rui stayed in one room, while Shen Lan shared one with her friend. The next morning, Wang Rui didn't want to delay any longer. Even with an outsider present, he decided to confess his feelings. So, he went to the door, but just as he was about to knock, a conversation came from inside the room, though it could be faintly heard.
Shenlan told her female friend that they would be together forever, would never separate, and would always love each other.
Then, it seems like they kissed.
At that time, Wang Rui was stunned. He never expected that one day, his rival in love would be a girl.
Just then, Deep Blue opened the door, grabbed her friend's hand, and the two bumped into each other.
Wang Rui directly asked the other party if they had that kind of relationship.
Deep Blue admitted it, saying that she didn't mean to lie to him, she just didn't want outsiders to know about it.
After listening to Wang Rui, Zhou Chen, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei really didn't know how to comfort him. This kind of thing was so rare, and Wang Rui had actually encountered it.
It's just bizarre!
After the three comforted him for a while, Wang Rui went to bed. He also skipped his afternoon classes, knowing that the kid needed some time to heal himself.
When I got back to the dorm at night,
Wang Rui ate a few bites of the dinner the three of them brought back for him. Afterwards, he wanted to go out and be alone for a while, saying that he wouldn't do anything rash, he just wanted to go for a walk and clear his head.
Around 8 p.m.
Wang Rui had just returned, but he was completely different from the man at noon. His face was no longer bitter, but beaming with joy, showing no sign of heartbreak whatsoever.
alright?
Seeing this, all three breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Wang Rui was still the same Wang Rui. In matters of the heart, he was an unkillable cockroach, able to quickly get back on his feet even after setbacks.
"Ruizi, that's impressive! You got through it so quickly, awesome!"
Zhang Hao patted Wang Rui on the shoulder.
Wang Rui chuckled and proudly raised his chin. "Mouse, let's not dwell on the past. People need to learn to look forward. I understand that principle."
Zhang Hao showed a look of surprise.
Wang Rui continued, "A man should be able to take things in stride. If Shen Lan doesn't like me, it's because she has bad taste. There are plenty of good girls in the world. Just two hours ago, I met one. She didn't want a car, a house, or bags. She didn't want to have dinner or watch movies with me. She just wanted to chat with me and talk to me when I was quiet. Do you think a girl like that is expensive at a bathhouse for 200 yuan?"
The three of them: "..."
Zhang Hao: "Which bathhouse?"
...
The next day
When Zhou Chen saw online comments that he would not attend the economic forum, many netizens spoke up for him, believing that he would definitely receive an invitation.
Seeing how much netizens were defending her, Zhou Chen posted a message on Weibo saying that she would attend in person.
He didn't want to go before, but Li Wenyan asked him to represent Yanda University, so he couldn't refuse.
On the other end,
When Li Xiaolong saw Zhou Chen's response, he smiled. Just as he had expected, as long as Zhou Chen went, his plan would be half successful.
"Hey, Young Master Li, I've taken care of what you asked me to do."
"On the Yanda University forum, everyone is discussing whether he will attend."
Li Xiaolong answered the phone casually, and Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice came from the other end.
“I saw it, and I will give you some money as a reward.”
"Young Master Li, I don't want money. Could you exchange it for a meal? I'd like to have a meal with you alone."
"No need. I'm not interested in women older than me."
Li Xiaolong refused outright and hung up the phone. He knew perfectly well what Zhang Xiaoxiao was up to; she simply wanted to become his girlfriend. He had seen plenty of gold diggers like her. From the very beginning, he had seen through her. The only reason he was willing to contact Zhang Xiaoxiao was to use her as a tool, a pawn.
Once the chess pieces are used up, they should naturally be discarded.
Li Xiaolong didn't take Zhang Xiaoxiao seriously at all. He simply instructed his bodyguard to send Zhang Xiaoxiao some money and then focused his attention on other things.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoxiao's side,
Hearing Li Xiaolong's resolute rejection, Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with deep resentment. Li Xiaolong actually disliked her because of her age and showed no interest in her whatsoever, not even the thought of playing around with her. This greatly disappointed Zhang Xiaoxiao. She would rather Li Xiaolong were a playboy, so that she would at least have a chance to marry into a wealthy family.
She had already planned it all out. As long as she was with Li Xiaolong, she would try every means to get pregnant. Then, she would have a shotgun wedding. Even if it didn't work out, Li Xiaolong's family would still give her a sum of money.
pity,
This plan was stillborn before it could even be implemented.
But she had no other choice.
Just then,
Zhang Xiaoxiao's phone suddenly rang. When she heard that the caller was Li Xiaolong's bodyguard, Zhang Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. Could it be that Li Xiaolong had changed his mind?
But as the person on the other end of the phone spoke next, Zhang Xiaoxiao's smile vanished abruptly.
Li Xiaolong didn't change his mind at all; he just had his bodyguard deliver money to her.
"See you at the school gate in half an hour."
Zhang Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, completely losing all hope. Now she only hoped that Li Xiaolong would be generous and give her more money.
As a young master from Hong Kong Island, he should at least give her tens of thousands of dollars.
However,
Zhang Xiaoxiao was furious when she received the money from Li Xiaolong's bodyguard and saw that there was only a mere 10,000 yuan inside.
She conveyed so much information about Zhou Chen to Li Xiaolong, and it was only worth 10,000 yuan?
The bodyguard kept staring at Zhang Xiaoxiao. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied, he warned in a deep voice, "Your deal with Young Master Li ends here. What you did is only worth this much money. And that's only because Young Master Li is generous and gave you more. Don't think about threatening Young Master Li. I know exactly where you live and what your parents do. Don't do stupid things and cause trouble for yourself and your family. You can't afford the consequences."
After the bodyguard finished speaking, he turned and drove away under Zhang Xiaoxiao's fearful gaze.
