Chapter 149: Sensational! Bro Xi’s Love Rival Is a Man!

“I owe some money and I really can’t pay it back right now. As long as you would help me pay it back, I promise I won’t bother you for the rest of my life!”

As Ji Weixi had thought, Mo Nanfeng’s call was nothing good.

And have her help him? Was that a joke?

Did anyone help her when she was so miserably chased out of her own home?

If Mo Nanfeng had even one bit of conscience, thing wouldn’t have turned out like this between them.

Ji Weixi steeled herself and hung up.

Did he expect her to be a saint? Apologies, but she wasn’t Mary.

On the other end of the call, Mo Nanfeng watched his screen as it was cut off, his fingers that were dripping with blood clenching his phone.

He looked fearsome and frightening in grievance.

He had already begged, what more did she want from him?!

‘Fine, Ji Weixi. Don’t blame me whatever happens!’

***

Meanwhile, as Ji Weixi put her phone into her pocket, she noted that Li Shaoling was not reacting at all.

He would usually be asking and getting to the bottom of it, and be very jealous if it was a man.

Was his brain fried from the fever?

Ji Weixi hence turned to Jian Jie at the backseat and smiled nonchalantly. “It’s my childhood friend. He says he still can’t forget me, sigh…”

Jian Jie smiled bitterly. “I really envy you, Miss Ji.”

“It’s nothing.” Ji Weixi replied humbly, glancing at Li Shaoling with the corner of her eye.

However, he was still keeping his eyes straight ahead and his eyes on the steering wheel, while acting as if nothing happened.

And that utterly infuriated Ji Weixi.

Good, very good!

Fantastic!

Despite her great frustration, she held back her inward raging sea of flames, leaning and looking outside the window.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Shaoling’s fingers were clenching over the steering wheel.

His gaze darkened as if he, too, was keeping something in check.

***

CBS Tower.

Li Shaoling had just entered when another man lunged right at him.

“Ling Ling, I missed you so much!”

The man had coiled around Li Shaoling’s body just like a sloth.

Frightened, both Ji Weixi and Jian Jie retreated several feet.

What in god’s name?

Still, Li Shaoling frowned and shoved the man away. “Get lost!”

The man stumbled a few steps back, holding his chest with a wounded look. “Don’t you love me anymore, Ling Ling? You promised to be nice to me, scumbag!”

Ji Weixi and Jian Jie shared a glance. They smelled illicit relations there.

The man was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a baseball cap, a pair of blue short jeans and a trending pair of sneakers.

His facial features were delicate and cute, too.

Could he… be gay?

As the man sobbed, the other employees on the floor all looked towards him leveling curious gazes at the homoerotic sight.

Li Shaoling coldly scolded him then. “Keep crying. I’ll strangle you, Gu Xiaochuan.”

Gu Xiaochuan immediately stopped crying in fright, although he also walked up to Li Shaoling and started caressing his chest. “Oh, Ling Ling. Don’t be angry, it harms the body.”

Li Shaoling glared down at him murderously. “Touch me again.”

Gu Xiaochuan promptly shifted his eyes aside, and incidentally met Ji Weixi’s gaze.

She was rather afraid, even shivering a little.

Gu Xiaochuan lifted a finger and pointed at her, moving closer with every step while she kept stumbling backwards with a look of utter shock.

“You’re Ji Weixi! Disowned by Ji Xiangdong and Zhou Huijie four years ago and gave birth to a child you named Ji Jiayu while you worked in Paris! Your childhood friend is Mo Nanfeng, your stepsister Ji Jianing and your mother is Xia Jie. Oh, and you graduated from River Town’s Hua Lan Design Academy, right!”

Ji Weixi gasped sharply. “Who are you?”

It was astonishing! Was he a minion sent from the heavens? How did he know everything?

Could he be… a voyeur? A stalker?

Ji Weixi felt a chill at that very thought, and wanted to hit somebody very much.

“Fufu. I am…” Gu Xiaochuan declared while assuming a dramatic pose, “The number one private detective, the king of data who knows all—”

“Gu. Xiao. Chuan!”

“Never heard of you.” Ji Weixi replied.

“But you must know Fat Butterfly.”

Fat Butterfly? Wasn’t it that person who was all boo-hoo when chatting with Li Shaoling the other day?

“So you’re that boo-hoo… ahem. I mean, so you’re Fat Butterfly.”

Gu Xiaochuan’s brow lifted in pride. “That’s me! Without me, you wouldn’t have found Jian Jie!”

Li Shaoling shot him a cold, sharp glare. “Do you want to die, Gu Xiaochuan?”

How dare he tease his woman in his face!

“Look at you, getting all angry!” Gu Xiaochuan pouted miserably. “You can’t do that to me, Ling Ling! You said you’ll be nice to me!”

“I’ve also said that I’ll strangle you.” Li Shaoling shot back.

In response, Gu Xiaochuan lifted his chin and showed his neck with an agonized look. “Come on, then! Do it, do it!”

Li Shaoling glowered, but just as he was about to reach out choke him, Gu Xiaochuan had already withdrawn his neck and sobbed. “I knew you wouldn’t do it. I’ll let you do it, but you won’t do that either.”

Everyone was left speechless.

Be that as it may, Gu Xiaochuan made a serious face then and said, “By the way, Ling Ling, Huisheng Group’s boss just came in with his sweetheart Lin Xiaoman. They’re waiting for you upstairs! Oh my, don’t you know that she could really throw a fit? She’s like a boo-hoo monster—so annoying!”

“You guys go up! I’m going home. See you, Shaoling. Remember to think of me~”

Gu Xiaochuan threw a flying kiss at Li Shaoling before he left, leaving everyone shuddering.

Ji Weixi retorted inwardly. ‘Who’s the boo-hoo monster here?’

***

The reception room upstairs.

Chen Libin, boss of Huisheng Group was holding Lin Xiaoman in his arms and consoling her.

Although she was wearing a mask, her rashes had not faded. Anyone would feel chills when they saw her.

Qian Jia was beside her, consoling her as well. “Don’t cry, Manman. Didn’t the doctor tell you that the rashes would heal faster if you stay calm?”

The doors opened then.

Li Shaoling entered, followed by Ji Weixi, Jian Jie and one security guard.

Qian Jia’s face dropped at the sight of Jian Jie, and her eyes tightened at the security guard behind them. Still, she acted as if it was not her concern.

Chen Libin promptly stood up and reached out a hand to Li Shaoling, smiling. “President Li! I’ve been waiting for you!”

However, Li Shaoling slowly sat and leaned on one of the couches and crossed his legs. He did not bother to even look at Chen Libin and had no intention of shaking hands at all, showing both arrogance and disdain.

Huisheng Group was the first company in River Town to rise with motorcar production, and held an unshakable position over the entire nation too.

Chen Libin was himself a billionaire who frequented the country’s wealth rankings. His darling Lin Xiaoman had thereby gained so strong a position that she could strut around in the entertainment industry.

However, as the old saying goes: two tigers cannot live on the same mountain.

Regardless of how stubborn and upset Chen Libin was, he could not afford to provoke Li Shaoling.

Not that he would dare to.

As such, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and smiled. “President Li, our client Xiaoman had made a fool of herself because of your employee’s fault. You should oversee this matter…”

Li Shaoling pretended as if he had heard nothing, and stood aside looking like he was just enjoying the show.
