Chapter 179: Can’t You Accept My Offer Once?
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yu fell silent for a moment, and a tinge of disappointment lingered. This girl had turned him down once again. He couldn’t help but say, “Can’t you accept my offer just once?”
Jiang Ling ‘er replied, “When the time is right.”
Then, she walked to the Jiang family’s car with Wen Nuan.
Li Yu watched their retreating figures with a sense of helplessness and said, “Alright, stay safe.”
Jiang Ling ‘er raised her hand, gesturing with an OK sign.
Once the two had boarded the car and it drove away, Gu Yinian said, “Li Yu, you’re going about this all wrong. When a girl says ‘no,’ it often means ‘yes.’ Do you get it?”
Li Yu responded coolly, “As if.”
Glancing at the time, Gu Yi Nian then proposed, “It’s not even ten o’clock yet. How about going for a drink?”
Li Yu agreed, saying, “Sure.”
They both got into a car and headed off.
Bai Xue held a wine glass and chatted with the guests, appearing unconcerned, but in reality, she was not. Bai Xue kept a close eye on Jiang Ling ‘er and her group’s movements.
When she saw them leaving without coming over to say goodbye, Bai Xue felt very angry.
Jiang Ling ‘er, that despicable person, acted as if she were superior to everyone!
Of course, there was also Wen Nuan, that despicable person. She only had physical strength, and apart from that, she was entirely useless. But these two despicable people had excellent backgrounds, one better than the other.
Originally, Bai Xue wanted to use this birthday banquet to challenge Jiang Ling ‘er in piano skills. She had never heard of Jiang Ling ‘er playing the piano before and wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass her.
However, in the end, Bai Xue had to give up because Jiang Ling ‘er had undergone significant changes in recent days. It was uncertain whether Jiang Ling ‘er would excel at playing the piano, and if she did, it would be a big loss for Bai Xue.
Especially the person that Bai Xue had arranged to cause trouble for Jiang Ling’er had ended up doing her a disservice. Bai Xue gritted her teeth in hatred.
Qin Xiaoxiao noticed that Jiang Ling ‘er and the others had left, and she also noticed Bai Xue’s anger.
Qin Xiaoxiao inwardly sneered, thinking Bai Xue was such a fool. She had wanted to harm Jiang Ling ‘er, but in the end, she was the one who was humiliated.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing was that Li Yan didn’t stay until the end and even gave the first piece of cake he cut to Jiang Ling ‘er.
The birthday banquet was organized very well, but Bai Xue gained nothing from it. She only managed to gain some attention during her piano performance, while everything else had been overshadowed by others.
Qin Xiaoxiao pretended to be concerned and said, “Bai Xue, what’s wrong? You look so pale. Why don’t you go rest for a while?”
Bai Xue replied, “It’s nothing.”
Then she proceeded to down the glass of champagne in her hand.
Qin Xiaoxiao handed over a glass of juice to Bai Xue and said, “Don’t drink alcohol like that; it’s bad for your health. Have some juice.”
Bai Xue accepted the juice with a smile and replied, “Xiaoxiao, thank you. Why don’t you go chat with someone?”
Xiaoxiao shrugged, “It’s not very interesting, and it seems like you’re not in the best mood. Besides, you gave a fantastic performance with your piano. Isn’t that enough?”
Xiaoxiao thought that talking to attractive men wasn’t interesting, or rather, she didn’t even need to approach them. Many men had already noticed her, and she enjoyed being admired from a distance.
Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Bai Xue felt pleased and said, “It’s not a big deal. Li Yan is so busy, and I’ve been on my own until now.”
Xiaoxiao envied her and said, “You’re so lucky. If my boyfriend could throw me a birthday banquet like this, I’d be moved to tears.”
Bai Xue sighed lightly and said, “Although it’s nice, deep down, I’m a bit disappointed. If 1 had a choice, I’d prefer to have a simple birthday celebration with Li Yan alone. This grand event is nice, but 1 don’t know most of the people here.”
Xiaoxiao advised, “Just chat with them. It’s not too difficult. You did well earlier, talking to those people with ease and a relaxed attitude. You really gave off the aura of the future Mrs. Li.”
Xiaoxiao knew that those guests who seemed to be chatting well with Bai Xue were doing it to maintain face for the Li family and Li Yan.
Bai Xue replied, “Don’t make fun of me. It’s quite nerve-wracking to talk to people 1 don’t know. By the way, did Chu Xiaotong leave? I don’t see her.”
She pretended to look around the room.
Xiaoxiao pointed in her direction and said, “Look, there she is.”
Bai Xue looked in the direction Xiaoxiao had pointed and saw Zhu Xiaotong with seven or eight men.
Zhu Xiaotong had a charming smile on her face, appearing to enjoy herself.
Bai Xue shivered at the thought that Zhu Xiaotong, that despicable person, was fishing for men at her birthday banquet?!
Feigning envy, Bai Xue said, “It’s a joke. With her beauty, she’s stolen the spotlight from the birthday girl. I feel a bit upset and helpless.”
Xiaoxiao replied, “It’s all because your boyfriend is Li Yan. Those people are too scared to approach you..”
