He looked down on her so much back then, and now that they've finally reached an agreement and he has a chance to distance himself from her, he actually admits it now?!
Xie Li thought Pei Si was either stunned by the fall or his brain had been caught in a door.
"You can take medicine however you want, but you can't say things carelessly." Xie Li tried to maintain a calm facade, adhering to the principle of friendly cooperation between the two parties. "Wouldn't you like to think carefully before you speak?"
Pei Si's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Now that things have come to this point, does Xie Li still dare to deny it? Is she serious?
If she misses this opportunity, he will never be able to acknowledge their engagement in any public setting again, and she shouldn't regret it then!
"What I mean is, you and this woman are in cahoots, framing each other!" Shen Lian couldn't stand it anymore; she felt she smelled a conspiracy.
"You still won't admit you tried to scam Xie Li? You're shameless, you even fabricated the engagement!"
"Tell me, what makes you worthy of Xie Li? Look at that face, those long legs, do you know how many people are lusting after you? Even I, a woman, am smitten. You want him too? Dream on!"
"I, a woman, wouldn't even look at you, do you think Xie Li would look at you?"
After Chen Lian finished speaking passionately, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have inadvertently praised Xie Li.
She felt a little embarrassed and turned to Xie Li softly, saying, "Don't overthink the rhetoric."
Xie Li: "..."
No, I can choose not to think too much about it, but the Pei family doesn't think so!
Pei Si was furious. What was wrong with Chen Lian? Was she determined to offend him today?
Shen Lian was actually a little afraid of offending the school bully, which is why she couldn't help herself during the argument.
She couldn't afford to lose face. If Pei Si wanted to cause her trouble in the future... she could just go back to being a good student and complain to her parents and teachers!
Seeing Pei Si clench his fists, Chen Lian quickly added, "Don't think I'm attacking you personally... Xie Li has women around her who are a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you. There's no way she'd be interested in you. Give up."
She wasn't lying. During that socialite training class incident, she almost thought "Holy crap!" the moment she saw Luo Zhihan.
With such a handsome young man around every day, how could she possibly be interested in someone like Pei Si?
Moreover, Luo Zhihan is not only good-looking, but also has impressive fighting skills; her fights are so captivating that it's impossible to look away.
Moreover, her mother later reminded her that Luo Zhihan was not simple and that she should not offend him.
Madam Shen has always had a sharp eye; if she says Luo Zhihan is not simple, then he is definitely not simple.
In comparison, Pei Si was completely crushed.
Xie Li quickly realized who Chen Lian was referring to, and surprisingly, she agreed.
“Well, Shen Lian is right. There’s no way I could be interested in you. And the whole engagement thing is just nonsense. If I’m going to choose someone, it’ll be Luo Zhihan.”
As the plot completely collapsed, Ming Xiaoxiao was consumed by anger.
She felt that Xie Li was just being stubborn. Xie Li had always farmed in the mountains, and the only person he was close to was Li Chen.
Pei Si was the only outstanding man Xie Li could come into contact with after entering the city, and given Pei Si's good family background, it was impossible for Xie Li not to be tempted.
"Are you just saying this out of anger? I don't believe you!" Ming Xiaoxiao said with red eyes. "What Luo Zhihan? I've never even heard of that name. You might as well say Li Chen, that's more plausible."
Shen Lian was stunned. Had this woman really lost her mind?
