Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed
Chapter 871 - 298: Zhijin’s Request—Is Third Uncle Selling His Daughter?"Bai, it’s okay, you still have me and many good friends. When you get back to Modu, I’ll take you to see the sea, ride a yacht, and relax a bit..."
Li Yuan smiled and comforted her.
"Okay, brother!" Bai Weixi sweetly replied.
Thinking about her happy times with Li Yuan in Modu, at this moment, she suddenly felt an urgency to return quickly.
"Brother, I miss you so much, how about I return to Modu tomorrow and come find you?"
Li Yuan felt a thump in his heart and quickly declined politely.
He had already decided to go to Beijing early the next morning with Zhong Tingyue to have some fun and conduct market research to expand the company’s operations.
This trip would take at least two or three days, and if Bai Weixi came to Modu, she would be all alone.
It’s not that he couldn’t take her along; it’s just that time was too tight.
Unless she could catch a flight overnight, it would be impossible for her to join him.
Li Yuan gently advised, "Bai, I miss you too, but since you’re finally back home, spend more time with uncle and aunt."
"In the next few days, I have to go for a business trip to Beijing to inspect the market..."
Listening to Li Yuan telling her not to come, Bai Weixi felt somewhat downhearted.
"Oh, okay! But I really really miss you!"
"If only I could hold you and lie in your arms right now!"
Li Yuan felt a bit helpless. At this moment, Bai Weixi was emotionally fragile due to friendship setbacks, craving for someone to confide in.
It’s a common feeling; even he wished to have some drinks with his good buddies when he was upset...
"Bai, we’ll meet in a few days. Then I can hug you to sleep every day. Don’t be sad, everything will pass, we must look forward..."
Bai Weixi softly uttered, "I understand, brother."
"Brother, do you think Yuchen and Xu Zhi will get back together? Do you think they’ll really break up?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "I don’t know. Actually, I feel they’re not very well-matched. But it’s up to them to decide. Everyone has their own path, their own choices. As friends, we can just offer suggestions and silently wish them the best..."
Bai Weixi sighed, "I also don’t know why things turned out this way. We started so joyfully, and I even took your advice and paid the bill. Who knew Xu Zhi and Yuchen would have a public falling out in front of the whole class..."
Li Yuan also felt regret; he only knew Wang Yuchen was somewhat materialistic, and a bit of a green tea type.
He hadn’t expected that she would flirt with other guys just after starting a relationship with Xu Zhi.
To make matters worse, Xu Zhi had invested in Bicrown Di’s stocks, earning over a hundred thousand yuan, and spent most of it on Wang Yuchen...
This kind of dedication can’t be said to be small. If Xu Zhi wasn’t angry, he wouldn’t be a real man.
Any man who learns about his girlfriend’s behavior would be livid!
...
While they chatted,
not long after, Bai Weixi reached home.
Once Li Yuan confirmed Bai Weixi was safe at home, they continued talking for a long time before hanging up.
Li Yuan checked the time,
and unknowingly, nearly an hour had passed, mostly discussing Xu Zhi and Wang Yuchen, and then about other high school classmates’ current situations...
Ending the call, Li Yuan glanced at missed calls from Qi Siyu and Xia Zhijin, sighing deeply.
"Sigh, I’m really feeling spread thin these days."
Li Yuan then called Xia Zhijin back.
The treasure girl far away in Shancheng called him nearly every day, sending a few messages, "reporting" what she did that day...
This silly treasure girl had such a pure heart, never fighting or competing, just quietly accompanying Li Yuan.
She’s exactly the kind of perfect wife-and-mother type woman Li Yuan envisions.
Though there might be some lacking in fun, unlike Zhong Tingyue, who is like a "goddess of transformations,"
nor like Bai Weixi, who is like first love, clingy, a bit proud, and slightly capricious...
But, Xia Zhijin’s wife-and-mother type character really made his soul feel like finding a harbor...
Li Yuan actively greeted her, "Zhijin, did you miss me?"
Xia Zhijin shyly replied, "Yes, I missed you!"
"Haha, I missed you too, my treasure girl." Li Yuan asked with a smile:
"Why are you still awake at such a late hour today? You usually sleep by this time."
Xia Zhijin’s voice was slightly timid: "Li Yuan, I want to tell you something."
Li Yuan chuckled, "Zhijin, what’s the matter? Just say it."
Xia Zhijin’s voice lowered: "I... I’m afraid you’ll be angry."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Tell me first, let’s see if it’s worth me being angry."
Xia Zhijin whispered: "Well, my uncle asked me to lend him some money, and I don’t know if I should."
Li Yuan’s expression froze, with a slight frown: "Money? How much?"
"Ten, ten thousand!"
Xia Zhijin was frightened, her voice barely audible.
If it wasn’t for Li Yuan’s good hearing, he almost couldn’t hear it.
Upon hearing "ten thousand," Li Yuan was relieved.
At least he didn’t ask for an exorbitant amount.
Ten thousand isn’t much.
