After the meal, Li Ting was almost always looking for topics to chat with Xi Yuchen, showing off almost everything she could show, while Wen Yue became both a listener and an audience. Compared with Li Ting's excellent growth process, her growth process was not at all
Sorry to mention it.
Due to his good cultivation, Xi Yuchen didn't like listening to Li Ting anymore, but he didn't show it. He was more interested in observing Wen Yue's emotions. He noticed Wen Yue's awkward yet polite expression.
inside.
Only Li Ting didn't notice that what she did had aroused the resentment of the other two people. On the contrary, she only hated that the meal was too short.
When Wen Yue put down her chopsticks, Xi Yuchen across from her also put down her chopsticks and asked, "Are you full?"
"Well! I'm full." Wen Yue smiled.
Li Ting also put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full too."
"Then I'll go check out." After Wen Yue finished speaking, she stood up with her bag. When she came to the front desk, the front desk told her that the bill had been settled.
Wen Yue was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked in the direction of the dining table. Xi Yuchen was also looking at her and smiled brightly at her. Wen Yue came over with some embarrassment and said, "Why did you settle the bill? I clearly agreed that I would treat you.
of."
"Next time!" Xi Yuchen stood up and said.
Li Ting looked at Wen Yue with jealousy in her heart. What? Mr. Xi actually made an appointment with Wen Yue next time?
"Okay then! Don't pay in advance next time." Wen Yue warned with a smile.
"Okay, let's go! I'll take you home." After Xi Yuchen finished speaking, he was about to take her home.
At this time, Li Ting immediately bit her lip and asked cheekily, "Mr. Xi, can you take me home by the way? I came here by taxi, and I didn't drive."
"Sorry, mine is a sports car, so it's not convenient for three people." Xi Yuchen refused.
Of course Li Ting knew that there was a row of seats behind the sports car, but Xi Yuchen had already said so, and she suddenly thought that Wen Yue's home was relatively close. She turned to Wen Yue and said, "Yueyue, can you let Mr. Xi see me off?
Take a taxi home!"
This was so shameless. Li Ting thought that Wen Yue was soft-tempered and easy to talk to, so she dared to ask this.
Before Wen Yue could speak, Xi Yuchen had already spoken, "Wen Yue's home is relatively remote. Miss Li, you'd better take a taxi!"
After saying that, Xi Yuchen said to Wen Yue, "Let's go!"
Wen Yue said to Li Ting, "Cousin, goodbye, let's go first."
Li Ting stood there awkwardly, chopping her foot secretly, feeling bitter in her heart. Which step did she lose to Wen Yue?
In terms of appearance, she is also a great beauty. In terms of figure, she is not bad either. In terms of temperament, she is several notches better than Wen Yue. Why is Xi Yuchen's eyes only focused on her? But he doesn't notice her excellence?
Li Ting waited in the restaurant for more than ten minutes before she dared to go downstairs. Of course she drove here, so to avoid embarrassment, she had to wait for Xi Yuchen's car to leave before she could go downstairs.
At this moment, Xi Yuchen's sports car had already driven onto a road. Wen Yue didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit stuffy.
"I can see that your cousin doesn't treat you well." Xi Yuchen said, breaking the dullness.
"How did you tell?" Wen Yue asked curiously.
"It's not a coincidence that she invited friends over for dinner. I think she followed us here. As your cousin, she ignored your emotions and kept chatting with me, ignoring you."
Wen Yue blinked, but she didn't expect that he actually saw it! Wen Yue smiled bitterly, "My cousin's family has the best living conditions in our family, and her growth is much better than mine."
"Is this why she can despise you?" Xi Yuchen looked at her with a deep look that no outsider could look past.
"I'm used to it." Wen Yue smiled.
Xi Yuchen sent her home. Looking at her dilapidated small foreign-style building, he frowned and said, "Can you still live here?"
"It's okay! I can live here until the end of this month!" Wen Yue said with a smile. At least she saved the cost of renting a house outside.
"Let me tell you something, the demolition here is a project in my hands." Xi Yuchen said.
Wen Yue couldn't help but exclaimed and asked in surprise, "Is it your company that wants to dismantle our area?"
"Yeah." Xi Yuchen nodded.
Wen Yue felt very happy, "What a coincidence."
"Go back! If you need anything, call me."
"Drive slowly." Wen Yue waved to him and watched his sports car go away. Then she entered the house and turned on the lights. Although it was very shabby, to her, this was the warmest home.
Not long after Xi Yuchen left, a vandalized off-road vehicle drove to the door. Yang Zhen got out of the car. He looked at the lit-up foreign-style building and knocked on the door without saying a word.
The banging sound was so loud that Wen Yue was startled. She quickly walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, open the door quickly." Yang Zhen's voice sounded outside the door. He sounded a little drunk, and he had obviously been drinking.
Wen Yue's heartstrings tightened suddenly. She was really scared. She immediately thought of asking for help. She said to the door, "Cousin, it's very late. I'm going to bed. You go home!"
"You stinky girl, open the door quickly and give me your money and I'll leave. If you don't give me your money, I'll keep knocking on your door." Yang Zhen yelled ruthlessly.
Wen Yue picked up her cell phone. She wanted to call her uncle and want him to come and rescue her. She called her. The call was connected, but her uncle never answered, and there was a continuous knock on the door from Yang Zhen.
Wen Yue's heart tightened to the point of her throat. She thought of Xi Yuchen who had just left. She thought, could she save him?
"Open the door quickly, you stinky girl. If you don't open the door, I will break down the door. If you hide inside, I can catch you." Yang Zhen was acting drunk outside.
Wen Yue was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, she closed her eyes and dialed Xi Yuchen's number.
"Hello!" Xi Yuchen answered.
“Mr.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be right over." Xi Yuchen comforted her on the other end and hung up the phone.
Wen Yue held her cell phone and listened to the banging on the door. Her heart was beating in fright. She couldn't imagine what Yang Zhen would do to her if she opened the door. She felt that he would hit her.
Wen Yue's heart, which had always been strong, collapsed at this moment. She didn't expect that all the relatives in the family would threaten her like this because of a sum of money.
Fifteen minutes later, Xi Yuchen's sports car rushed in from the intersection and stopped at Wen Yue's door. Looking under the streetlight, Yang Zhen banged on the door and cursed, "Smelly girl, open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I will kick it open."
