"How disgusting and despicable! To satisfy their vanity, they forge signatures and create composite photos. Can't they use this talent for something good?"
"I told you long ago she's no good, she just does stupid and embarrassing things, it's just her usual routine."
The socialite who sided with Li Manyue immediately said, "She just forced Manyue to apologize! She even tried to slap her. We must get revenge."
Yi Lianxue was humiliated and ashamed. "My face is already injured like this, what more do you want?"
The socialite deliberately made things difficult: "So, of course you should kneel down and apologize to Manyue!"
Enraged, Yi Lianxue roared, "You'll only make me kneel if I'm dead—"
Before she could finish speaking, someone deliberately kicked her knee from behind.
She immediately collapsed to her knees, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Now that you're kneeling, why don't you just die!"
"The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn. Don't worry, I'll burn paper money at your grave."
Yi Lianxue could no longer bear such humiliation. With tears in her eyes, she turned and fled in panic.
"This vain girl is really lowering our standards. Let's kick her out of the socialite circle," someone suggested, watching her disheveled figure as she left.
"No way! This kind of person can bring a lot of laughs. Just treat her as something to talk about over tea or after dinner. Keep her here and let's make a fool of her."
"That's true, with her around, our lives are much more fun!"
"Although we can't reach Daniel's level, it's still pretty good to get to know other male idols through her!"
Looking at the wicked expressions on the faces of the socialites, Li Manyue suddenly felt out of place with them.
After seeing everyone off, Li Manyue formally expressed her gratitude to Yi Tianran, saying, "Thank you so much for helping me today. I will definitely repay this kindness."
"You and I are friends with Qingruo, so there's no need to be so polite." Yi Tianran handed the gift box to her and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Li Manyue asked a few more questions, "How are Sister Qingruo and the rest of the Fu family?"
Yi Tianran sensed a different meaning in her words and asked curiously, "Who...are you asking about? Fu Yunchen?"
"No, no, no—" Li Manyue waved her hands repeatedly, stammering, "I, I'm just a nobody, how dare I ask about Brother Fu's affairs? I'm not worthy!"
"..." Yi Tianran said with a wry smile, "You seem to be very afraid of him? He's actually quite nice. Although he usually has a cold face and seems unapproachable, he won't get angry as long as you don't cross his bottom line. He's even quite considerate."
"Huh?" Li Manyue was dumbfounded.
"He's quite handsome when he's serious, but he also has a childish side, and sometimes he's even a little cute." Yi Tianran's smile never stopped when she mentioned Fu Yunchen.
It's as if he's all she can think about.
Li Manyue was numb: "..."
Are we really the same person?
Yi Tianran changed the subject: "So, Miss Li, who are you really concerned about?"
Li Manyue said somewhat shyly, "I just wanted to ask how Brother Zhiyan has been lately?"
"Oh~" Yi Tianran suddenly realized, and said with a half-smile, "So you like Fu Zhiyan!"
“It’s not that I like it…” Li Manyue’s cheeks flushed red, but her excuse wasn’t very good: “It’s just… just out of curiosity.”
Meeting Yi Tianran's teasing gaze, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore.
Perhaps because the other person had just helped her, when faced with Yi Tianran's clear and innocent eyes, she still unconsciously revealed her true thoughts.
In fact, the Li family and the Fu family are old friends.
When they were little, the younger generation from both families would play together. Back then, Fu Zhiyan often protected her and even said he wanted to marry her.
However, as the Fu family's business grew larger and larger, the gap between the two families widened.
After starting school, they went their separate ways. Until the day she turned 18, when she was almost bullied at a bar with her friends, Fu Zhiyan saved her again.
The moment Li Manyue saw his handsome face, she gasped for breath and immediately recognized him as her childhood playmate, Fu Zhiyan.
Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.
No matter how many suitors she had met before, or what methods they used, none of them had ever made her feel moved.
Upon seeing Fu Zhiyan, her cheeks flushed, her heart pounded, and her breathing became rapid, as if a deer were running wildly...
Halfway through her sentence, Yi Tianran suddenly realized, "Your symptoms sound more like a fever!"
Li Manyue was stunned: "Huh?"
"Flushing, racing heart, rapid breathing, and feverish all over? Aren't these symptoms of a fever?" Yi Tianran said matter-of-factly, "Are you mistaking illness for infatuation?"
Li Manyue: "..."
An awkward atmosphere spread through the air.
Li Manyue thought back carefully and realized that she had indeed fallen ill after returning home the night she met Fu Zhiyan.
But that's because he was frightened... right?
For a moment, Li Manyue questioned the meaning of life.
She couldn't help but argue, "But I think there's a difference between being smitten and having a fever... He's handsome and gentle..."
“Then you have a 'baby bird complex',” Yi Tianran said with certainty. “Because a man saved you when you were most helpless, you have the illusion that he is handsome and gentle.”
Li Manyue: "..."
I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
"You don't want me to fall in love with Fu Zhiyan?" She gradually became wary. "Could it be... that you like him too?"
“Of course not.” Yi Tianran shook her head with a wry smile, then became serious: “I just want to remind you that when you like someone, you must understand their background. For example, Fu Zhiyan, although he is a good doctor, is also a playboy. He goes through many women but never gets attached to them. No woman has ever been able to make him stay.”
Although she doesn't deny that Fu Zhiyan comes from a good family, is handsome, and has the ability to charm women, he is the object of many women's desires.
But she had heard from Xiao Mao Tuan that her uncle could date dozens of women a year, and none of them lasted more than a month.
In a way, this can be considered a kind of... talent!
Upon hearing this, Li Manyue's face paled slightly, and her expression immediately dimmed.
Undeniably, she felt very disappointed when she first heard the news.
Because in her eyes, Fu Zhiyan was too perfect. All she knew about him was his outward brilliance, and she had never heard him publicly acknowledge a girlfriend, so she always thought he was not in a relationship.
So that's how it is in private.
She gritted her teeth, clinging to a sliver of hope: "Perhaps, he hasn't met the woman who will capture his heart yet..."
"Don't think you'll be the exception, and don't gamble your future on a man, you'll get hurt." Yi Tianran stopped there, leaving the choice to her.
Taking advantage of her relatively free time today, she made a special trip to the Fu family, intending to give Fu Yunchen a surprise.
