Zhang Mo didn't even turn around and said, "I'll return the money to Editor-in-Chief Lu tomorrow. You've invited Teacher Xiao so many times before. Even if I go, the result will definitely be the same."
"Mo Yan, you can't be so absolute. Just give it a try! If it doesn't work, there's nothing we can do. Ouch—"
There was a scream and a thud behind him. Zhang Moyan turned around and saw Lisa fall to the ground pitifully, holding her ankle in pain.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Moyan squatted down.
Lisa grabbed her and begged, "Mo Yan, don't be so absolute. Give it a try for us! I don't think you know yet, but I'm actually a real-life version of Fan Shengmei. Don't look at me walking in and out in designer clothes every day, but I only have a few sets. My home is in the mountainous area of Yunnan, and I support my parents. I also have a younger brother who is in high school... So, you may be able to return the money to Editor Lu without any hesitation, but think about me. I've spent a huge amount of money for nothing! I can do any other job to get my hair done. Why do I have to come here..."
Lisa sobbed at the end of her speech, and Zhang Moyan was stunned. It was right that she was the one who was deceived, so she should be the one crying!
"Mo Yan," Lisa grabbed her hand, "I believe in you, and Editor-in-Chief Lu believes in you too. She was the one who originally came forward to tell you about this today, but she was worried that it would put too much pressure on you, so she asked me to come. If I mess this up and it costs her so much money, I will definitely suffer in the future..."
Zhang Moyan was speechless, her chest heaving. "Big sister, you're clearly trying to pass the buck! If you don't invite me, you'll be in trouble. If I don't invite Xiao Xingyu, then I'll be the one who suffers in the future, right?"
"Miss, what happened? Do you need our help?"
Lisa's whimpering finally attracted the kind-hearted crowd of passersby. Zhang Moyan's scalp tingled as he pulled Lisa up: "You get up first!"
Lisa's butt sank down instead: "Promise me, if you promise me I will get up."
"I..." Zhang Moyan looked around, "If you don't get up, I'm leaving!"
"Don't go!" Lisa hugged her thighs.
More and more people gathered around.
"What's going on?"
"Miss, do you want to call the police?"
"What happened?"
Zhang Moyan had truly met her match. Lisa, the entertainment team's sister, lived up to her reputation! After a brief inner struggle, she leaned down and held onto Lisa's shoulders: "Alright, alright, I promise you, get up now!"
Zhang Moyan agreed verbally, but she had already made up her mind not to look for Xiao Xingyu. Since so many people had been rejected, she would just say that she had contacted him but was rejected and get away with it. Anyway, no one would verify it.
Under the night sky of the city, at the entrance of the brightly lit hotel, a group of well-dressed people greeted each other and said goodbye.
After shaking hands with the last person, Xiao Xingyu said goodbye to everyone, turned around, walked down dozens of stairs, and got into a black G-Class that had been waiting there.
"Brother Yu, let's quit! How can a professor have more social engagements than a businessman? Who can stand drinking every day?" Xiao Wa handed over a sports cup. "Brother Yu, drink some honey water first to sober up."
Xiao Xingyu leaned against the back seat with his eyes closed and waved. Xiao Wa tactfully took back the thermos cup, feeling a pang of heartache in his chest.
His brother Yu had changed. He used to be very direct and disdainful of his younger brothers (especially him), but now he hasn't used that tone in a long time. Tattoo and the others said it was because Yu was now a visiting professor at the university and was more aware of his status, but he just didn't think that was the case. When asked, he said that he felt that Yu was not as confident as before.
He didn't dare tell anyone about this acquaintance for fear of being beaten.
"Brother Yu, where should I take you back to now?" Xiaowa started the car gently. "Yuelan Residence, or Yunshan Garden?"
Xiao Xingyu opened his closed eyes a little, looked around the carriage, and said, "I'm not going."
As a confidant who has followed Brother Yu for many years, Xiao Wa immediately responded, "I'm sorry, Brother Yu, it's all my fault for rushing out and driving the wrong car. I should have driven the X3."
Xiao Xingyu was silent for a while in the back row. Perhaps he drank too much tonight, and all his emotions were magnified. A feeling of futility came over him.
"It's okay, drive yours," he said.
"Okay, Brother Yu, take a rest. I'll call you when we get there." Xiaowa stepped on the accelerator with a guilty look on his face.
The boss behind him didn't rest. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Has she been to Ocean Park recently?"
Xiao Wa answered without hesitation, "Not very often. I've only been twice this month. I guess he doesn't want to keep seeing people show off their affection..."
Xiaowa suddenly remembered when his brother Yu changed. It seemed that he changed after he came back from the Ocean Park with his sister-in-law who had abandoned him.
God, his brother Yu is such a poor, infatuated man!
There was silence in the carriage for a while.
"Brother Yu, if you can't let go, then go get Sister Mo Yan back and make peace with her!" Xiao Wa said boldly, "Brother Yu, you have to believe in yourself! Sister Mo Yan likes you."
Xiao Xingyu propped up his elbows, resting his knuckles on his temples. He was silent for a while, muttering to himself, "Do you like me?"
"Of course she likes you. If she doesn't like you, she'd be a fool!" Xiaowa automatically added the second half of the sentence.
"I'm not sure," Xiao Xingyu shook his head, and then said, "But I'm sure she must be hiding something from me."
Xiao Wa was confused: "Then let her keep it a secret and we won't ask. This won't affect your reconciliation!"
Xiao Xingyu looked at the back of Xiaowa's furry head and was surprised: "Are you so sure we can get along?"
