Chapter 948: Wishful thinking, endless entanglement
Li Nianqi really didn't expect that Xia Sisi was so capable.
She went around the other side of the garden and went up the external stairs, hoping to meet Huo Xingzhou before he went upstairs.
Her heart leaped when she heard the steady, rhythmic footsteps in the corridor.
She always felt that Huo Xingzhou would not be so heartless, and he only said those words in front of everyone.
He...maybe he's different in private.
A virtuous woman is afraid of being clingy with men.
Li Nianqi was very narcissistic and immersed in her own fantasies. She felt that all this was a test from God, and that this man would eventually belong to her. In her countless dreams, Huo Xingzhou had a gentle smile on his face and was extremely caring towards her.
She wanted Huo Xingzhou so much that she was going crazy.
Li Nianqi adjusted her skirt and greeted Huo Xingzhou's arrival with her most graceful and charming side.
She thought well.
At the corner, she pretended to accidentally bump into the man's arms.
When their eyes met, Huo Xingzhou would surely be moved, and he could also smell the faint, man-attracting fragrance on her body. This perfume was specially chosen by her, with some aphrodisiac effects, and the effect was best smelled up close.
Li Nianqi walked over with her head down, and when she saw the elongated figure reflected by the light at the corner of the corridor, she quickened her pace.
Rushed past.
The imagined scene did not happen.
Her high heels twisted, and she lost her balance and fell forward. The man at the corner moved quickly and took a few steps to the side.
Bang!
Li Nianqi fell directly to the ground, and her chin hit the floor.
She vaguely felt that the prosthesis had shifted slightly.
"……it hurts."
Her tears fell and she looked at the man in front of her with grievance.
Huo Xingzhou looked down at her and asked, "Miss Li, why are you so polite?"
"Huo... Huo Xingzhou, I sprained my ankle. Can you give me a hand?" She looked at Huo Xingzhou with tears in her eyes, using the most delicate expression. "Can you help me?"
"I can find someone to help Miss Li."
"you……"
Li Nianqi watched him leave and quickly stood up, shouting, "Huo Xingzhou, do you really not like me at all? Do you know that I miss you day and night abroad and follow your news? I feel sorry for you. Qiao Xi only gets into trouble everywhere and needs you to help clean up the mess, but I am the only one who really wants to share your worries."
"I am the one who loves you the most! Can't you just look at me?"
Huo Xingzhou looked at her indifferently: "What worries can Miss Li share for me?"
"I……"
Li Nianqi licked her lips, her heart racing: "If I can help you, will you marry me?"
"Look at your chips."
Huo Xingzhou's words gave Li Nianqi hope.
He didn't have to be with Qiao Xi, he didn't love Qiao Xi that much. It turned out that as long as he could help him, he could go to his side.
Li Nianqi thought of the close connection between the Pei family and her father. She also heard about the situation in the imperial capital and knew that Huo Xingzhou and the Pei family were incompatible.
"My father is going to cooperate with the Pei family recently."
"I know about this. If Miss Li has nothing else to do, I'll leave first." It was obvious that Huo Xingzhou didn't care much about the news.
Li Nianqi gritted her teeth and said, "The Pei family wants to use our Li family's overseas auction house to sell their things. You don't know this, right? Before you came, Pei Zheng and my father talked for a long time, and I eavesdropped for a while."
"This is a normal cooperative transaction and doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about."
"No, what they want to sell is..."
Li Nianqi shut up.
Her reason saved her at the last moment. She looked at Huo Xingzhou and asked, "If I help you, will you really marry me? I can get rid of the Pei family for you, but you have to promise to marry me. No, I can only help you if you divorce Qiao Xi first."
"No need."
Huo Xingzhou looked at her foolish appearance and always felt that anyone could take advantage of Li Nianqi.
But he didn't think Li Nianqi could really get anything out of the two old foxes unless she monitored them day and night.
"Huo Xingzhou, don't go!"
Li Nianqi watched him leave without looking back, feeling annoyed.
That's all she knew.
I don’t know anything else.
Do I need to get more information to attract Huo Xingzhou's attention?
Regardless, he had already wavered tonight. This left Li Nianqi somewhat conflicted. She had been desperate to marry him, and now there was a shortcut before her. But Huo Xingzhou refused to believe it unless she could come up with some valuable information.
Where can she find it?
Li Nianqi was very upset.
She thought of Xia Sisi. That woman looked smart and must have a lot of clever ideas.
She wants to keep in touch with her more.
And inside the banquet hall.
Xia Sisi stood in the corner holding a glass of wine, looking at the scenery of the garden outside. She had just talked to Huo Xingzhou about it, and he cooperated with her plan.
This will definitely make Li Nianqi trust her.
She also opened a gap.
Xia Sisi drank half a glass of red wine, and before she could come to her senses, she was dragged out of the banquet hall and directly into the garden full of lush flowers.
She spilled some red wine on her dress.
She looked at the man in front of her, tried to calm down and asked, "Young Master Sun, what's wrong?"
The tone was full of alienation.
Sun Weimeng laughed. "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and we've become so unfamiliar? Let me ask you, what did you say to Huo Xingzhou just now? I saw Li Nianqi chasing after him. What kind of deal did you discuss with that woman from the Li family?"
"Can I order Mr. Huo to do anything? I'm just a messenger."
"Xia Sisi! How could you do anything! You knew that woman was interested in Huo Xingzhou, yet you still helped her..."
"Young Master Sun, I don't need to explain my actions to you." Xia Sisi said impatiently, "This is my private matter. My relationship with Miss Li is also my private matter. As for me helping her, it's just a matter of convenience. You're meddling too much..."
"You..." Sun Weimeng was so angry at her, "Are you here with Zhao Qin?"
He was worried about her situation and afraid that Zhao Qin would bully her.
Those photos are still on his phone. How could this woman have no bottom line? After Zhao Qin humiliated her so much, she still had contact with Zhao Qin.
"Did Zhao Qin threaten you?"
"Young Master Sun, I volunteered. I don't need your protection. In the entertainment industry, Master Zhao is still more powerful. I believe he will give me a future."
Sun Weimeng gritted his teeth.
Very good!
Xia Sisi is really great!
"Are you completely tied to Zhao Qin? Do you know what business he's been running behind the scenes? I'm asking you one last time, were you forced into this? Just tell me, and I can help you!"
"I'm happy to follow him. You see, he can even take me in and out of occasions like this."
Sun Weimeng was furious. He took out his phone, opened the photo album, and said to her, "What about these photos? What's going on?"
When Xia Sisi saw it, her face turned pale.
