Chapter 261 The Test of Love
This is a high-end club, so the flow of people is not large, with only a few guests a day, or even only one guest.
Tonight was quite lively, with two tables of guests. Li Rongsen and his friends were at one of them, while the other table opposite was the one that held the suitor arranged by Bai Shu and Li Rongsen.
They were all sitting by the pond.
The pond here isn't deep, only knee-deep, and is filled with lotuses and small carp. Today, however, there are some lotus lanterns lit with candles, sparkling like stars and creating a romantic atmosphere.
An Yan asked: "You planned all this."
"I asked him to do something, so naturally he has to think on his own," Li Rongsen answered her, and then asked, "Why, do you like this?"
"Not really, I'm just asking."
Yan Qingqiu smiled and said, "You're just asking unnecessary questions. What woman wouldn't like something like this? An Yan is a woman after all."
"Shut up." An Yan sneered at him.
Yan Qingqiu shrugged, and Li Rongsen seemed to understand something. He took out his cell phone and put it on the table, turned on the speakerphone, but did not turn the volume up to the maximum.
At this time, a conversation between two people was heard on the phone.
First, the pursuer said: "I have been coaxing you these days. I have done so much for you. Why can't you agree to me?"
"I already have someone I like in my heart."
"Look at how you got hit on the face, and you still dare to like him." The suitor sneered and added, "Don't think I don't know that you wanted to seduce Li Rongqian. The scar on your face was from being beaten by her brother."
"Li Rongsen beat me because he thought I was going to lie to his sister." Bai Shu disagreed, and he didn't blame him. It was his fault for saying those things in the first place, and acting so cynical, which naturally led to misunderstandings.
The suitor laughed and said, "I know. He won't let you be with his sister. He won't trust you at all."
"You'll believe it after a while." Bai Shu didn't think it was a big deal and added, "But you, stop pestering me. I even think you have a plan."
"Of course, to get you, I have to have a plan."
"I despise you."
"Why? I'm prettier than Rong Qian." The suitor said arrogantly.
"Falling in love with someone has nothing to do with appearance. It doesn't matter at all. Even if you are as tall as the sky, I still won't look at you." Bai Shu said coldly.
An Yan felt that this was true, and she said, "Bai Shu is right, what he said is very correct."
Yan Qingqiu didn't say anything, just looked at Li Rongsen's face and found that his expression was quite serious and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Then I heard Bai Shu say, "I haven't been bothered to talk to you lately. It was only when Rong Qian asked about you yesterday that I felt I had to explain everything to you, so she wouldn't have any misunderstandings."
"I told her that I was pursuing you, and you didn't reject me."
"I ignored you, not that I didn't reject you. Please understand the logic here." Bai Shu said to him coldly.
"What do you have to do to make me agree?"
"I won't agree to that."
"How about this, I'll take a step back, okay?" The pursuer looked at him pleadingly.
Bai Shu said nothing and remained silent.
I heard the suitor say again: "I want to be your lover, are you willing?"
"What a load of shit! You're such a complete nobody." Bai Shu scoffed, then added, "You're a good person in every way. You can find someone else, so why waste your time on me?"
"Love has no reason. I just want to get you. Is there anything wrong with that?" The pursuer actually started crying.
Yan Qingqiu thought it was a shame not to win an award for his acting. He said, "Not bad. He acted very devotedly and realistically. If I hadn't heard you mention his true identity, I would have honestly thought he was in love with that man."
"Of course, if he doesn't perform well, he won't be paid."
"Oh, that's so professional."
At this time, Bai Shu was heard saying, "Don't come to see me again. This is the end of it."
"Why? I won't give up!" The pursuer stopped crying and choked up, "How about this, I'll take a step back and let you have you temporarily, okay?"
"What do you mean?" Bai Shu frowned, he didn't understand.
The pursuer immediately took out a room card and said, "Here, let's spend tonight together. Just this one night, and I'll leave from now on and never come to see you again. Is that okay?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"No one will know, Rong Qian certainly won't know. I promise not to tell him. Let's just treat it as a fleeting romance. Isn't that okay?" The pursuer said as he stood up and went to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu also stood up, but the pursuer pounced on him, but missed and fell into the pond.
With a "splash", water splashed.
Bai Shu stood on the shore, motionless, and said, "It's just right, you can wake up. If you continue to pester me, I won't be polite to you." After that, he strode away.
The pursuer frowned, climbed up the bank, and walked up to Li Rongsen, wet as a tear. He said, "Boss, you have to compensate me with a piece of clothing."
"Okay, go back. The mission is completed, but you have to leave the mask behind." Li Rongsen reminded him.
The man immediately tore the mask off his face, placed it on the table, and then left.
An Yan asked Li Rongsen: "How is it, are you finally satisfied?"
"I won't care about this matter anymore. Let them do whatever they want." Li Rongsen was somewhat concerned about his reputation, so he refused to admit his mistake.
Yan Qingqiu said, "This man is quite good. He can resist temptation. That's good."
"This is fate. It's great that we can really become a family. It seems that we will hear good news from them soon." An Yan said. In fact, she didn't dislike Bai Shu from the beginning.
Li Rongsen was also helpless. He originally wanted to expose Bai Shu's true identity, but now that the test was successful, he was relieved. Secondly, he let go of the past and treated it as a fresh start.
"I know you are worried about Rong Qian, but Rong Qian is different now. I feel that she has matured a lot and is no longer the emotional woman." An Yan gestured for him to relax a little.
Li Rongsen nodded slightly and said, "I'm just afraid that she will go blind."
"But it's not a good idea for you to always control her. She is so old now, it's time for her to learn to take responsibility on her own and make the right choices." An Yan reminded him not to always treat Rong Qian as a child.
"I understand. I accept the criticism." Li Rongsen accepted it humbly.
An Yan picked up the water cup and took a sip, then looked closely at the mask on the table and suddenly said, "By the way, could Zhou Ziyi also be disguised as a woman so he can hide from our sight?"
Li Rongsen thought about this carefully and felt that it made sense. He was such a cunning person that he didn't even attend the shareholders' meeting recently. He said, "It seems that it is possible."
"Oh, we actually have such a harvest today. It's great. The eldest lady of the East Mansion has been urging us to do so." Yan Qingqiu said.
"It seems that we should change the way we search and start with the women around Wang Qi." An Yan reminded him.
Li Rongsen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have them arrange it tomorrow. I'm sure there will be clues."
"It's been such a long time since I went to look for Wang Qi. I believe they have relaxed their vigilance. Now is the best time." An Yan said, thinking that she must find the person quickly, otherwise she would not dare to go to the East Palace again.
