Chapter 162 Gathering
Li Lanxue spoke coldly, her eyes full of disdain as she looked at Shen Wenjun; his earlier attitude had infuriated her.
Li Lanxue's face was ugly as she sneered, "It seems you still can't forget that woman, how shameless of you. If that were the case, you shouldn't have come to me for a partnership in the first place!"
"If you do anything else to anger me, I will cut off all partnership with the Shen Family, and then you can just wait for all your suppliers to disappear," she said coldly, confident in her own standing, for she was one of the top suppliers in the city.
Wasn't Shen Wenjun only with her because of this fact? Since they were together, if he dared to show any fickleness thinking about another woman, she would not let him off lightly.
At this moment, Shen Wenjun could only nod in response to Li Lanxue's words.
The truth was their relationship was nothing but a forced situation.
If one of them did not cooperate, they were bound to scatter like birds and beasts.
But Li Lanxue still quite liked Shen Wenjun; after all, he was an elite who had studied abroad, and both his personality and looks were good.
But he had deep feelings for Han Xuewei, which annoyed her greatly; not that she cared that much for Shen Wenjun, she instead vented her grievances on Han Xuewei, watching their receding figures with even greater annoyance in her eyes.
...
At this time, Lin Yi directly took Han Xuewei to the mall. The mall was large, and Lin Yi hadn't paid particular attention to it even after receiving it from the system.
Every day, the mall was making a profit, and his bank account frequently gained several million in revenue, but Lin Yi simply didn't bother managing it because he owned too many companies.
However, coming over today turned out to be a bit of a surprise; the layout of the mall was excellent, which seemed to be the reason for the good business.
Lin Yi had originally planned to buy some stationery cards for studying with Han Xuewei, but now it seemed they couldn't just buy those items.
After all, they had just been provoked by Li Lanxue and her group; they must buy something fitting for a gathering, especially because they were dressed too casually today.
At the same time, Han Xuewei felt a full sense of security in her heart as Lin Yi held her hand and led her forward.
If she had to deal with the earlier scene on her own, it would definitely have been very awkward, and if she couldn't out-argue the others, she would end up resenting herself for not performing well.
But Lin Yi's presence today had helped her greatly. She usually didn't provoke anyone, but if others provoked her, she would also think about retaliating.
However, due to her inherently kind nature, she was prone to soft-heartedness, and many things could be let go if possible.
But Lin Yi's demeanor today could be summed up in two words: domineering!
At this moment, Han Xuewei was very happy, hugging his arm and walking forward with a cheerful smile. Seeing that Han Xuewei was in a good mood, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "What's up? You seem to be in a great mood!"
Hearing this, Han Xuewei replied, "Because you are so good."
Feeling pleased by this comment, Lin Tian browsed for a while before pulling her into a coffee shop.
After ordering two cups of coffee, the two of them sat in a corner.
At this moment, Han Xuewei looked at Lin Yi and couldn't help but speak up, "Actually, I really dislike gatherings; we shouldn't have agreed to them back then, so we could have gone home early to be with the babies!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi simply said, "I've already arranged for someone to take the babies back home, and now my mom is there taking care of them. We can go back later; it's not a problem!"
As he spoke, Lin Yi continued, "Actually, what that woman said just now was so obvious. She's clearly jealous of you, which is why she's picking on you."
"I feel the same way. I had plenty of trouble with her back in college, but I never did anything to offend her. She just inexplicably picks fights every time, and I often don't even want to interact with her. I'm truly unlucky to have run into her today!"
As Han Xuewei spoke, Lin Yi's expression turned unpleasant too. He hated anyone who made Han Xuewei unhappy.
"That woman is just jealous because you're better and prettier than her, so she targets you at every turn. Against such people, you must never be soft-hearted."
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Han Xuewei just nodded.
But she found it difficult to follow through with such things, as many relationships bound her thinking.
Moreover, she grew up in a superior family environment where her parents taught her to value harmony and to be kind to others.
So quite often, she couldn't bring herself to do those vicious things. Han Xuewei took a sip of her coffee and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Li Lanxue just seemed to suggest that our classmates will all be there. Does that mean Qin Xiaoxu will be going too?"
"If she knew, she would've told me in advance, but it's strange that there's been no word from her today. I need to give her a call right away."
After saying this, Han Xuewei immediately took out her phone and called Qin Xiaoxu, whose voice came through lazy and hoarse, as if she had just woken up.
"Vivi, did you call to tell me something?"
Qin Xiaoxu's voice was lazy and husky. She had just woken up and, still bleary-eyed, was holding her phone in a daze. But upon Han Xuewei mentioning a name, Qin Xiaoxu instantly perked up.
"What! Li Lanxue?? Isn't she that annoying girl from my dorm, always causing me trouble? Thank goodness the dorm supervisor finally kicked her out, or I would've ended up fighting with her!"
Qin Xiaoxu immediately woke up as she spoke.
She remembered her past interactions with Li Lanxue and showed an unhappy expression.
Han Xuewei merely recounted encountering Li Lanxue earlier that day. Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu also seemed surprised and her expression was filled with disbelief as she asked many questions, to which Han Xuewei responded one by one.
"Yeah, she came with her boyfriend and insisted we attend some class reunion. And her boyfriend turns out to be Shen Wenjun; I did not expect Shen Wenjun would be with her. It's truly surprising. She spoke about me in a passive-aggressive way just now, and they must have invited you too. You have to come over!"
Han Xuewei said this. Then Qin Xiaoxu glanced at her phone screen, and several messages had popped up in WeChat, all sent in the group chat.
She saw the last invitation, and an expression of resignation appeared on her face.
"This is just so annoying; I hate gatherings the most."
Qin Xiaoxu showed a helpless look, prompting Han Xuewei to feel somewhat helpless as well.
If Qin Xiaoxu was not going, then Han Xuewei was even less inclined to attend the gathering.
