Chapter 21: Invitation to Visit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone in the crowd looked enviously at Cui Si. They had thought that Wang Xiaotian was the best among them, but now, she couldn’t compare to Cui Si.

Wang Xiaotian was regretting inviting Cui Si to the reunion. This was supposed to be a humiliating event for Cui Si. How did it turn into a stage for her to steal the limelight?

“But still, I’m not convinced…”

Some were still doubtful. They had heard that Cui Si had never been well off. How did she become a millionaire in a blink of an eye? Everyone looked at Yang Zi, hoping that he could tell the truth.

Yang Zi was furious. Why did these idiots not believe him? What good would it do him to lie to them?

“Wang Xiaotian, what do you mean? Are you calling me, Yang Zi, a liar? It’s not like you don’t know which real estate company I work for. I never mistake my boss for someone else.”

Many of the students nodded after hearing this. They knew Yang Zi’s career well.

Yang Zi had been establishing himself quite well in the real estate industry. Everyone could attest to it. He would not have allowed himself to be bribed by Cui Si over this.

But Wang Xiaotian refused to lose. “Well, since it had come to this, Cui Si, why don’t you bring us over for a look?”

Cui Si thought for a moment. She had obtained the property through the system, so she wasn’t worried about the credibility of her ownership of it. But she had never been there before, so she didn’t know what it looked like inside.

She hesitated for a moment and said, “Xiaotian, I just bought the house. I’ll bring you guys over after I’m done renovating it.”

But Cui Si’s words only further convinced Wang Xiaotian that Cui Si and Yang Zi were pulling an act. After all, if Cui Si had truly purchased such a luxurious place, why wouldn’t she let anyone visit it?

“Look, Cui Si. If it’s yours, then there’s nothing to hide. What are all these excuses for?”

Everyone immediately looked at Cui Si and Yang Zi in confusion. They must be lying, then. Otherwise, what would Cui Si hesitate to invite them over?

Yang Zi decided to stand up for Cui Si. “Cui Si, you bought the best house in Tianxi. It is already well-furnished with the best materials and designs. You really don’t need to renovate it. It’s ready for you to move right in.”

Wang Xiaotian continued to taunt Cui Si. “In that case, Cui Si, you shouldn’t have any other excuses to keep us waiting.”

Cui Si was speechless. She didn’t know what she had done to offend Wang Xiaotian.

Why was everyone so eager to take a look at her place?

“Cui Si, how about tomorrow?

“Also, since you don’t have a boyfriend yet. I’ll ask my boyfriend to introduce you to one so that you won’t be lonely.”

Cui Si immediately thought of Wang Xiaotian’s boyfriend and felt her stomach churn.

If he was the one who introduced her to someone, the candidates would probably be middle-aged, greasy, and perverted uncles.

“Oh, don’t worry about that, Xiaotian. I already have a boyfriend.”

It was at this moment that Cui Si suddenly thought of Li Leyi’s handsome face. With that image in mind, she quickly rejected Wang Xiaotian’s offer. Even if someone else were to get her a boyfriend, that person would have to at least be on par with Li Leyi.

Cui Si finally returned home from the reunion as she lay on the sofa, exhausted.

When she used to be poor and unlucky, everyone would just ignore her. But now that she was rich, all their attention was on her.

Knock, knock. knock…

Li Leyi stood at her door with a slightly nervous expression but did not say anything.

“Leyi, you came just in time. I need your help once again.”

Li Leyi scratched his head and smiled foolishly. Coincidentally, he also had something that he needed Cui Si’s help with.

“Cui Si, I also have a favor to ask of you.”

Cui Si smiled. He had helped her so much already. Returning the favor was the least she could do.

Without asking the details of the favor, she immediately nodded and agreed.

She knew that Li Leyi would not ask her to do anything that would harm her.

“Cui Si, aren’t you going to ask what it is?”

Cui Si obliged. Besides, it wouldn’t be good if his favor clashes with hers.

“The thing is, there is a party the day after tomorrow and I need a female companion to attend it. So, I was wondering if you could be my partner for it?”

Cui Si started to laugh. She was expecting something more serious, but it was just to attend a party with him.

Based on her reaction, Li Leyi knew Cui Si did not know the gravity of the event.

He wondered if Cui Si had any talent at all?
