Chapter 73 I will never marry you in my next life!
"She's drunk."
Li Beiting handed the person to Wang Ma, turned around and left without saying anything.
Only then did Wang Ma realize that the other party had sent the young lady back out of kindness, and she quickly expressed her gratitude to him from behind.
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Beiting walked all the way back to his villa, but he felt like he was holding his breath.
He walked to the terrace and felt the cool breeze, but his mood still couldn't calm down.
Somewhat annoyed, he took out his cell phone and dialed Xie Hao's number.
The call was connected after a while.
Li Beiting's voice was low: "Hey, do you have time? Come out and have a drink with me."
"Master, you wouldn't have forgotten so quickly. I'm still recovering in Australia! How can I drink with you over the internet?"
Xie Hao was speechless, thinking that he had something important to discuss with him.
But soon, he noticed something was wrong and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Wait, why do you sound a little down? Could it be that you've been heartbroken? Did Jiang Yao also reject you?"
Li Beiting felt a pang of choking in his heart.
I haven't figured out how to refute it yet.
Xie Hao suddenly seemed to have found some fun and started to mock.
"I told you to show off to me before. You haven't even gotten her yet, but you're already showing off. This is called karma, retribution, hahaha..."
Li Beiting's face turned dark and he hung up the phone on the spot, blocking the number.
He also felt that he was too abnormal.
This is totally unlike him.
On this side, Jiang Yao still didn't know the impact of Li Beiting's misunderstanding caused by his words.
After being helped back to her room by Aunt Wang, she was fed a cup of sobering soup while she was drowsy, and then slept comfortably for a whole night.
The next day, she got up and went downstairs refreshed.
Mother Wang had already prepared breakfast.
"Auntie Wang, where's my uncle? Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
Jiang Yao asked doubtfully.
"The eldest young master hasn't come back yet. It seems he is busy discussing an important cooperation." Aunt Wang explained.
Jiang Yao suddenly felt a little distressed.
The whole night has passed, and my uncle is still busy.
It seems that it is not easy to maintain the position of the Jiang family leader.
"Oh, Miss, it was Mr. Li from next door who helped you back home last night. You were drunk and leaning on his arms. Did you go out with him?"
Aunt Wang asked curiously.
When Jiang Yao heard her say this, he recalled two fragments from his vague memory and his face suddenly became hot.
"It's just a coincidence, don't think too much about it."
"I didn't think much of it. I just thought he was quite kind. You should remember to thank him." Aunt Wang said seriously.
Jiang Yao: "..."
"I know."
When Jiang Yao returned to the research institute in the morning, he wanted to find an opportunity to thank Li Beiting.
But the strange thing is that I didn't see anyone for half a day.
He was always there at this time in the past. Could something have happened to him?
Jiang Yao was confused.
"Yaoyao, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what we said?"
At this moment, the chirping of Yingying, like the sound of a little bird, rang in my ears.
Jiang Yao came to his senses and temporarily put Li Beiting out of his mind.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard, another investor donated a full 50 million to our research institute today! And it happens to be a project our team is currently researching. This sponsor is truly generous."
Lian Yingying held her face with a look of happiness.
Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched, and a premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
“Do you know who the investor is?”
"I think his last name is Lu. I heard he's a young man who used to be a student at our school. He said he wanted to give back to his alma mater, but I don't know the details."
Lian Yingying looked innocent and hadn't made any further associations.
Jiang Yao's heart sank.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
She thought of someone.
But I hope I'm wrong.
But when she came out of the research institute in the afternoon, she happened to see Lu Xuan not far away.
Across from him stood a young schoolgirl, looking nervous as she mustered up her courage.
"Senior Lu, I've admired you for a long time. You're the reason I chose this school. I really like you. Could you please give me a chance?"
Faced with the confession, Lu Xuan looked impatient.
"Alright, I haven't even met you. What do you like? Isn't it that I'm rich? I'm telling you, I already have someone I like. It's Jiang Yao! Are you worthy of being compared to the genius of the academy? Get away."
The schoolgirl's eyes instantly filled with tears. When she saw Jiang Yao walking out not far away, she ran away with a look of resentment and grievance on her face.
Lu Xuan turned around, and the moment he saw Jiang Yao, his eyes lit up and he hurried to greet him.
“Yaoyao——”
He rushed forward and before Jiang Yao could react, he knelt on one knee in front of her and took out a red velvet box from his arms.
Jiang Yao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, the box opened and an exquisite diamond ring appeared before his eyes.
"I was wrong about what happened before. I shouldn't have disrespected your feelings and shouldn't have made you angry, but I have completely reflected on it now. I specially invested 50 million in your research institute.
I even custom-made a ring with our initials engraved on it. I remember you said back then that your biggest wish was to marry me! This time I come with my heartfelt sincerity. Jiang Yao, will you please marry me?
Lu Xuan specially wore a white suit today, dressed elegantly and looked affectionate.
He just didn't believe that the emotional bond they had formed over the years would be no match for Li Beiting and Qin Jinxiu.
Besides, Jiang Yao is now the daughter of the Jiang family, and she doesn't care about the man's conditions at all.
Therefore, he was confident that she would choose him again.
"Marry him!"
"Marry him, he looks so affectionate——"
At this moment, the onlookers who did not know the truth also came forward to make a fuss.
These people clearly didn't understand the situation, but they wanted to put her on a pedestal just because of the "deep affection" shown by the man.
If it were a girl with a thinner skin, she might not know how to refuse at all and would be easily morally blackmailed.
However, Jiang Yao just sneered.
"Lu Xuan, can you please stop being so disgusting? You were engaged to the daughter of the Xu family just two days ago, but when she got into trouble, you turned around and dumped her to propose to me. If you want to be such a jerk, get out of here! I will never marry you in this life or the next!"
Her voice is clear and powerful.
The whole place was silent, and soon someone reacted.
"He is Lu Xuan, the groom-to-be at the engagement party of the Lu and Xu families?"
"It was actually him? His vicious fiancée did that to Jiang Yao, and he actually had the nerve to confess his feelings. Isn't that just plain disgusting?"
"He is truly shameless and invincible!"
"How could the Lu family let such a person be in charge? It's really shameful."
Lu Xuan's initial disbelief and subsequent change of color from blue to purple and then to green were even more spectacular than a color palette.
Especially the sarcasm and ridicule from people around him made him feel like a thorn in his side.
Feelings of anger, loss, and embarrassment all flooded my heart.
