Chapter 884: Fighting for a Man
....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Min smiled and shook her head, lightly swaying her body to the rhythm of the singer on the stage. She casually said, “Let her be, but she’d better not give me any ammunition against her, or else…”
Although Ye Min didn’t finish her sentence, Shen Xi knew it wouldn’t be something pleasant.
Indeed, in her past life, Ye Min had killed someone and been to prison—a character not to be trifled with.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan was like a leaf in the wind, carefree and not tethered by concerns. There was a chance she might attract the attention of Li Jin.
Before Shen Xi could continue reminding Zhao Yuan to be cautious of Li Jin, Zhao Yuan leaned toward her with a sly smile and asked, “Do you know why Li Jin targets you? Remember why?”
Shen Xi was momentarily stunned by Zhao Yuan’s question. Yes, she remembered that Li Jin held a grudge against her, but why?
Shen Xi retraced her memories of Li Jin and then looked uncertainly at Zhao
Yuan, saying, “It’s probably because of a man?”
Zhao Yuan burst into laughter and continued, “Then, do you remember any conflicts you had with w.a.n.g Lei?”
Shen Xi went through her memories again and her expression became somewhat awkward. She hesitated and said, even more uncertainly, “It seems like it was also about a man. Or maybe a gigolo or a pretty boy?”
Shen Xi felt a bit embarra.s.sed. Why were all her conflicts with others about competing for men? What had she been doing in her past?
Based on her recollections, she had openly fought with w.a.n.g Lei for a man at a banquet. It was unbelievable!
Zhao Yuan couldn’t stop laughing and, looking at the man next to them whose face had turned unpleasant, continued, “Do you know that the man you and Li Jin vied for is Guan Lei? The pretty boy both you and w.a.n.g Lei were fighting for was also none other than Guan Lei!”
Shen Xi froze on the spot; her rosy lips trembled slightly. She asked in disbelief, “Really?”
After a brief pause, Shen Xi furrowed her brows, nodded thoughtfully, and when she raised her eyes once more, she concurred, “But you’re right. Guan Lei does possess the potential to be a gigolo. His looks are the kind that rich women might find appealing.”
Guan Bo at the neighboring table couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, banging on the table.
Shen Xi and the girls followed the sound and saw Guan Lei with an expressionless face. Shen Xi instantly felt awkward.
Did she just say that Guan Lei was the type that rich women liked?
Shen Xi scratched her head. She was feeling quite embarra.s.sed!
Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi with a burning gaze, a slight smile on his face, and casually asked, “Xi, you said I’m the type that rich women like. Does that mean you like me?”
Shen Xi stared at Guan Lei with wide eyes, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who likes you?”
People heard Shen Xi’s words and shook their heads sympathetically at Guan Lei.
After all, Shen Xi had once publicly declared her sovereignty over Guan Lei in front of everyone, and now she seemed to have forgotten everything.
It was like reaching the end of a game only to be told that there was a problem, and you had to start over. How frustrating!
However, Guan Lei, the protagonist, didn’t show any self-pity at the moment. Instead, he looked at Shen Xi with a mischievous smile and teased, “If we ask who is the wealthiest woman in Beijing, Shen Xi, besides you, who else could it possibly be?”
Ye Min couldn’t help but laugh. “Xi, Guan Lei is right. In Beijing, no one is richer than the combined wealth of the Shen and Lu families. You really are the wealthiest woman.’
Zhao Yuan nodded in agreement, saying, “Exactly, Xi, you are the richest woman in Beijing. No wonder you said Guan Lei is the type rich women like. It seems you picked according to your taste?”
Shen Xi was extremely embarra.s.sed due to the teasing of her friends, and even Guan Bo added fuel to the fire. “Yeah, sister-in-law, if you like my brother, just say it. There’s no need to be shy. As long as you say you like him, my brother will definitely return a thousand confessions to you without hesitation! Absolutely no ambiguity!’
Shen Xi’s lips twitched with a touch of helplessness. “There are so many of you, and I can’t argue with you. Can we drop it?”
Seeing that Shen Xi was genuinely uncomfortable, everyone kindly let her off the hook.
Guan Bo cleverly took a seat beside Zhao Yuan, while Ye Min astutely rose with her drink in hand and headed to the stage to join the singer in a song..
