Chapter 268 Eating and Shopping
Silence lingered for a long while, and at last, her best friend uttered only this one sentence.
"So what do you mean now?"
Han Xuewei was taken aback, then continued to inquire, as Lu Xinyao's face turned even redder.
She didn't know how to broach the subject, as she really didn't want to ask Han Xuewei for help.
But there were no other options left.
She couldn't let all her money go down the drain. She truly couldn't bear that.
And there was no way to explain it to her parents after going home!
"A while ago, Han Xuemei borrowed a large sum of money from me, and her return gift was your hotel. But today, when I went to find Lin Yi, he told me that the contract couldn't be executed because Han Xuewei isn't the chairman of that hotel at all. He had no way to directly sell the hotel to me. I really don't know what to do now.
I couldn't get in touch with you, so I thought I'd come and see if there was any way you could help."
Lu Xinyao blurted out everything she wanted to say in one breath.
Han Xuewei was also startled, not expecting that Han Xuemei could turn out to be such a terrible person.
If Dad Han knew about it, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it either, right?
The daughter he had always cherished had come to such an end.
Han Xuewei sighed. She couldn't contact Han Xuemei now either.
After all, they had already fallen out previously, effectively tearing their relationship apart.
"Hearing about your trouble, I really want to help you, but sadly, we've cut ties with Han Xuemei, and we do not know where she is now."
Han Xuewei apologized with a smile to her best friend. It looked like she would not be able to help with this matter.
She had thought she might be able to do something on her own, without relying on Lin Yi.
With that, Han Xuewei stood up, ready to pack up her coffee and leave.
Lu Xinyao suddenly panicked; if Han Xuewei left, she would be completely without anyone to rely on.
She quickly stood up and grabbed Han Xuewei's hand, then, overcome with nervousness, tears began to fall pitter-patter.
"Don't cry, okay? I really can't stand girls crying in front of me!"
Han Xuewei was in a fluster; no girl had ever cried in front of her before, although she herself had cried plenty.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon hearing Han Xuewei say such words, her best friend cried even harder.
If just crying could soften Han Xuewei's heart and get her help, then she would cry even more.
"Han Xuewei, my dear sister, I really have no other option, I can't find anyone else. I don't know who else to turn to, please, I'm begging you, can you help me? If you don't, when I get home, my parents will surely beat me to death, they don't know I spent so much money."
Just thinking that she might return home without even securing the contract, let alone acquiring the hotel, she truly didn't know how to face her parents.
They still thought that she had finally managed to accomplish something, but who knew she would end up ruining it all.
In the end, Han Xuewei could not reject Lu Xinyao, the poor girl who was crying so pitifully.
Seeing that Han Xuewei had agreed, Lu Xinyao quickly clutched Han Xuewei's hand.
"Han Xuewei, I'm truly so thankful to you. From now on, you're my real sister. As long as you're willing to help me this time, from now on, forget about Han Xuemei, even if the Emperor of Heaven came along, I will definitely not let him go against you!"
The best friend got a bit excited and suddenly hugged Han Xuewei.
Han Xuewei was startled by the sudden hug, could this child's emotional contrast be any greater?
For a moment, Han Xuewei didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
Why had this little girl been staying with Han Xuemei before?
Staying with someone like her and yet not being influenced to become like that was truly no small feat.
"But I'm just trying, if Lin Yi doesn't want to help you, I can't do anything about it. Although he's my husband, I can't force him to do things he doesn't want to do."
It was necessary for Han Xuewei to set this precautionary condition in advance.
If she couldn't manage it, this little girl better not come to trouble her.
But this best friend was quite adorable, making one a friend would also be nice.
"Don't worry, Lin Yi likes you so much, he'll definitely agree to help you. Besides, aren't you two in a married relationship? There definitely won't be a problem. Sister, this time I can only rely on you. If it weren't for you, my legs would surely be broken when I return."
Until the very end, the best friend didn't forget to play the sympathy card, and like that, after finishing their coffee, the two of them went out to have dinner and shop together.
When Lin Yi returned home and didn't see Han Xuewei, he was very surprised. Wasn't she supposed to have finished work early? Why hadn't she come home? Continue reading at empire
Perhaps because her problem had been resolved, the best friend was more than happy while shopping.
She suddenly felt that Han Xuewei wasn't as annoying as Han Xuemei had said, this person was actually quite pleasant to be around.
The two of them enjoyed shopping more and more, and before she knew it, Han Xuewei had completely forgotten about Lin Yi.
That was until she received a call from Lin Yi.
"Oh no, I forgot the time and didn't report to my husband, he's calling me."
In a fluster, Han Xuewei answered the phone.
Lin Yi on the other end was very worried about Han Xuewei's condition and hastily asked where she was now?
"Honey, don't worry, I'm just out eating and shopping with a friend, she's a girl, so there won't be any problems. We're done shopping now and I'll be heading back immediately. We were having so much fun that I lost track of time, I'm so sorry for making you worry."
After Han Xuewei explained everything in one go, she was still very worried whether Lin Yi would stay angry or not?
After listening, Lin Yi just breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he had almost thought his wife might have been abducted.
"Which friend are you with? How come I don't know her? No worries, as long as you are safe. Do you need me to pick you up? It might be hard to get a taxi right now."
Why couldn't Lin Yi remember Han Xuewei having such close female friends?
And at this hour, shouldn't people be at work or having dinner? How come she was out shopping with Han Xuewei?
"You should know her, she seemed to have tried to find you this afternoon, it's that best friend girl."
Upon hearing the woman's name, Lin Yi's eyes widened.
He hadn't expected that after failing with him, she'd go seek out his wife, what a clever move indeed.
"Alright then, I'll come to pick you up now, send me the address."
Lin Yi did not dwell on the matter over the phone with Han Xuewei; after all, it was futile. He'd rather warn the best friend in person.
After hanging up, Han Xuewei sent the address to Lin Yi.
