Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed
Chapter 902 - 311: The Sexy Mentor’s "Blind Date Diary" (Part 2)
She felt a warm happiness in her heart, her eyes and cheeks full of smiles, and she said coyly:
"Silly brother, don’t be jealous!"
Li Yuan gave an almost inaudible hum and replied, "I’m not jealous, what’s there to be jealous of? Am I such a jealous person?"
Bai Weixi saw that Li Yuan was still being stubborn, pursing her lips and smiling gently, she went along with his words and said:
"Of course, silly brother never gets jealous, just like before, you wouldn’t get jealous if I talked to other boys, or if other boys gave me gifts, or if other boys confessed to me..."
"Eh heh~~ This time, someone definitely won’t be jealous either, right?"
Listening to Bai Weixi’s teasing words, Li Yuan’s face showed a bit of embarrassment.
Everything she said was completely the opposite.
Indeed, during high school, he often got jealous because of the things Bai Weixi mentioned.
No wonder, with Bai Weixi’s looks, figure, personality, and grades, she was simply the perfect dream girl and ideal girlfriend for all the boys during high school.
The number of boys chasing after her could not be counted on one hand. If he weren’t there as the "guardian,"
to deter those whose height, looks, studies, and family background were lacking, she would have even more pursuers.
Before Li Yuan could respond, Bai Weixi’s voice came through again, gently explaining to Li Yuan.
"Alright, alright, the never-jealous silly brother, hehe, let me secretly tell you, this boy who shares my birth date, is my mom’s uncle’s grandson."
"So, in a way, he’s also my cousin."
Hearing Bai Weixi’s explanation, Li Yuan’s expression relaxed, and the worry of jealousy in his heart disappeared. He curiously asked:
"Auntie’s uncle’s son? Your cousin? So that means he’s your uncle’s son, right?"
Bai Weixi gave a playful snort and explained, "He’s not my actual uncle, probably my mom’s cousin’s son."
"Oh, by the way, brother, want to know something even more coincidental?"
Li Yuan asked in surprise, "Oh, what is it?"
Bai Weixi laughed, "This distant cousin of mine is in the same school and even the same year as us. How about that for a coincidence?"
Li Yuan felt a bit strange after hearing that, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was peculiar.
He just replied lightly:
"Indeed, quite the coincidence."
Bai Weixi heard Li Yuan’s flat tone and sensed his displeasure, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Brother, I miss you! Hehe, you don’t know, but at my grandparents’ house, my parents have been praising you to the skies!"
Hearing that his in-laws were praising him, Li Yuan suddenly became interested and asked curiously:
"Oh, how did uncle and aunt praise me? Why were they praising me?"
Bai Weixi laughed, "Of course, they praised you for being talented, having good grades, being tall and handsome, and already having started your own business, and treating me well..."
"You don’t know, their expressions were quite something. They even asked me when you might be free so that I could bring you over to meet them."
"Hehe, but I decisively refused. I don’t quite like that whole family; they have such a snobbish feel to them, a bit of a disdain for the poor and favoritism for the rich."
"You have no idea, when I was younger, their attitude was awful when I visited. They wouldn’t even look me in the eye and called me a country bumpkin... I could remember it forever."
Li Yuan chuckled, such things were all too normal.
Snobbery, disdain for the poor and favoritism for the rich, looking down on others, these exist in any era, in any place.
Even he, after being reborn, had encountered it?
However, now that he was well-known and his entrepreneurial success marked him as a young entrepreneur with money, people who knew him generally offered compliments.
Of course, this also had something to do with him not knowing many high-ranking officials or noble children.
That so-called "high society" circle was not something he particularly wanted to fit into. Earning his own money and spending it himself, he could live quite well, so why seek unnecessary headaches?
In this life, the goal was to live happily and unburdened, to live without grievances, to indulge in life, leaving no regrets!
After chatting with Bai Weixi for a while, Li Yuan started feeling sleepy and decided to call it a night.
...
In a small city in Huadong, inside an old two-story house!
Qi Siyu looked at the photos of Li Yuan on her phone, her eyes filled with longing, as she softly hummed a song with a beautiful melody.
Later, never again did I see such a beautiful sunset...
When night falls, shadows will disappear at the crossroads...
The gentle wave of a hand still accompanies me in my dreams...
It’s the evening breeze, it’s the starry river, it’s the song I hum...
As Qi Siyu was humming, suddenly she heard a familiar voice from her mother, accompanied by a knock on the door.
"Siyu, are you up yet?"
Qi Siyu lazily stretched, even though she was only wearing a sweater, her perfect figure was still fully evident.
Qi Siyu slipped on a light-colored thick down coat, opened the door, and asked:
"Mom, what’s up?"
Qi Siyu’s mother, Shen Qiong, was over fifty years old, her hair already graying, dressed in a black down coat; she looked at Qi Siyu’s just-woken appearance and slightly frowned.
"It’s already this late, still in bed? Hurry up, someone is coming to our house soon."
Qi Siyu was utterly speechless: "Mom, it’s only nine in the morning. There’s nothing going on, why should I get up so early?"
"I’m on holiday, can’t I sleep in a bit?"
Shen Qiong discontentedly chided: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, you sleep from morning till night, always cooped up at home, you never go out, I really don’t want to say anything."
Qi Siyu grumbled: "If you don’t want me here, I’ll just go back to Modu tomorrow. I barely got home for the New Year, and you’re after me every day like a curse. Can’t even sleep in."
Hearing her daughter bring out the "killer move," Shen Qiong remained calm, only speaking with slight excitement.
"Hurry up, get cleaned up, wash your face, put on makeup, comb your hair, dress up nicely..."
Listening to her mother, Qi Siyu felt a bit puzzled. These days she’s been staying home, barely going out, and her mother never reminded her about makeup, so why now?
Could there be something fishy going on?
Qi Siyu confusedly asked: "Mom, I’m stuck at home, why bother with makeup?"
Shen Qiong’s expression became somewhat unnatural, she glared at Qi Siyu: "Whatever, just tidy up, guests are coming."
"Guests are coming?" Qi Siyu curiously asked: "Who is it?"
"Today is already the eighth day of the New Year, who still visits relatives?"
Shen Qiong huffed, saying: "You’ll know later, just hurry up and get up."
"Oh, alright!" Qi Siyu unwillingly muttered a phrase, she felt that her mother was being particularly odd today.
After washing up, not even starting on makeup, Qi Siyu heard a stranger’s voice at the door.
Qi Siyu casually tied up her hair, and walked to the living room curiously, seeing her mother Shen Qiong excitedly talking to a woman who seemed to be in her forties or fifties.
Beside this woman was a short-haired youth not very tall, but dressed rather formally, holding a fruit basket in one hand and a set of Coca-Cola and Sprite in the other...
"What’s going on here?" Qi Siyu was puzzled, a foreboding sense suddenly clouded her mind.
Before she could understand,
her mother Shen Qiong caught her with her peripheral vision, waving her over.
"Siyu, come over quickly!"
Qi Siyu confusedly walked into the living room, stopped, and before saying a word, the middle-aged woman before her was already gazing at her with shining eyes.
"Mrs. Shen, is this your daughter? She’s really pretty."
Shen Qiong replied modestly: "Yes, this is my daughter Siyu, she’s been teaching at Modu University, just returned for the New Year."
"Very nice! Very nice!" The middle-aged woman scanned Qi Siyu from top to bottom, nodding continuously.
Then, she nudged the youth, who was already dumbfounded, reminding him:
"Xiaofeng, stop dazing, quickly say hello!"
