If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 214 "Escorts" Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin's shortcomings
Back home at Jinxiu Villa.

As soon as Li Yuan entered the door, he heard Queen Mother Xia frowning and complaining to herself.

"Xiaoyuan, why are you here so late? It's almost noon, and Zhijin has already heated up the food twice."

"Didn't you agree to come back for lunch?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly. Before meeting Zhong Tingyue, he had already called home and said he would be there in a minute.

Then I met Zhong Tingyue. I couldn't leave without saying hello, right?

It was already almost a little while after I had some vegetarian food with Zhong Tingyue in the car and finished lunch together in the cafeteria.

Li Yuan glanced at the treasure girl dressed as a little cook in an apron, smiled apologetically, and explained.

"The company was quite busy today and moved a lot of equipment to the school's operation base, so it took some time."

Xia Zhijin knew that this sentence was said to him by Li Yuan, so he quickly replied:

To judge herself and others, she couldn't even imagine that scene.
……

At this moment, there was a feeling of "home", warmth and comfort, which he had never experienced in his previous life.

Li Yuan walked up to Xia Zhijin with a smile, touched her head, put it to her ear, and lowered his voice: "Thank you, my dear, I like to eat dumplings the most."

Last night, Xia Zhijin came first, and tonight, it's Bai Weixi's turn.

Seeing Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin leaving together, Xia Qin felt mixed emotions in her heart and suddenly muttered:
"Tingyue and Zhijin are both good girls. The palms and backs of these hands are full of flesh."

Xia Zhijin nodded seriously and waved to Queen Mother Xia: "Well, okay, Auntie!"

She looks like a flower and jade, like a fairy from heaven descending to earth. She is also incredibly good-tempered and soft-spoken, making her feel ashamed of herself. He also knows how to cook well and is very hardworking and capable.
It's just that the family conditions are a bit poor and it's too far away from home.
As someone who has experienced this, Queen Mother Xia considered many factors and subconsciously made comparisons in her mind.
Of course, Xia Zhijin's family situation is not a problem. With the current earning power of the bastard son, he can fully bear the pressure brought by Xia Zhijin's small family.
For a perfect girl, God will always deliberately take away some things from her, such as family love.
"Xiaoyuan, please eat more of the dishes Zhijin worked so hard to cook for you."

"It's too far-fetched to think about. Let's wait until we see Bai Weixi and talk about it later."

Li Yuan knew the reason. It was because several people had agreed to it yesterday afternoon.

Li Yuan drove the car and talked to Xia Zhijin about the entrepreneurial base.

"It's okay. I have nothing to do at home. Come and eat quickly. I'll serve you dumplings."

After all, the two of them have been "living together" for more than a month.
……

Li Yuan smiled. What Queen Mother Xia didn't know was that he had already eaten Xia Zhijin's cooking.

Being with Xia Zhijin always makes an "old man" like him, who has experienced many twists and turns, feel quiet and peaceful, as if he has found a spiritual harbor.
Although there were not so many earth-shattering events, not so many pledges of eternal love, and not so many sweet words, he did enjoy this feeling very much...

Unfortunately, good times always fleeting.

Xia Zhijin gave a shy "hmm".

When Li Yuan was with Zhong Tingyue at noon, he deliberately didn't eat too much. He kept his stomach empty just to go home for dinner.

Looking at a table full of dishes, there are twice-cooked pork, boiled pork slices, and fish head with chopped pepper.
There is also the scrambled eggs with peppers and tomatoes that Li Yuan taught Xia Zhijin to make.

"Zhijin, the operation base in the school will be put into use on Monday, and it will be installed in the afternoon. When you are usually bored, you can often go and take a look..."

Queen Mother Xia tasted a few mouthfuls, and the sour and spicy taste filled her heart and spleen. Her slightly wrinkled eyes kept shining brightly. Looking at Xia Zhijin's expression, she became more and more satisfied and kept nodding secretly.

Li Yuan smiled and joked.

Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Zhijin, these are Sichuan dishes. Did you cook them?"

Even though Empress Dowager Xia tried every means to persuade her to stay, Xia Zhijin still persisted.

"Zhijin, you can eat it too, don't be restrained at home."

Xia Zhijin nodded and asked, "Then will I still go to the company in Longyu Building in the future?"

Queen Mother Xia returned to the elevator with a heavy heart, but her heart was not at peace. Spending most of the day with Xia Zhijin today gave her a deeper understanding of this poor girl.

"I have to say that Zhijin's craftsmanship is much better than that of your mother and me. Please try it quickly. It tastes really good."

"And that Bai Weixi is coming tonight. According to what Zixia said, she must be a beautiful girl from her hometown in the county. She is the high school classmate that the little bastard has been chasing for three years."

"Of course I'm going. You are the boss of our company. If you don't go, how will your salary be paid?"

This treasure girl is truly frighteningly pure and kind, with no intention of fighting in her heart.
Queen Mother Xia held Xia Zhijin's little hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.

While Li Zixia was eating the vegetables, she praised Xia Zhijin:
"Sister Zhijin, the dishes you cook are really delicious, boiled pork slices, twice-cooked pork, fish head with chopped pepper... Hehe, you have to teach me in the future, I can only make some home-cooked dishes."

Just when Li Yuan was about to praise him, he heard Empress Dowager Xia's laughter and praise:
"I said I would cook for lunch, but Zhijin insisted that she cook, saying she wanted me to taste Sichuan cuisine..."

"Zhijin, come and visit Auntie often when you have time!"

She was really worried about whether this poor girl would do something stupid if her bastard son's situation was really exposed.

This poor girl from Sichuan and Chongqing really fits all her fantasies about a daughter-in-law.

Xia Zhijin's face suddenly turned crimson.

Li Zixia took the dishes out from the kitchen and put them on the dining room table, muttering: "Brother, we are all waiting for you. I'm almost hungry. Come and eat quickly."

After lunch, and after a while, Xia Zhijin asked to go back to school.

Li Yuan ate the leek-filled dumplings made by Xia Zhijin himself and the spicy and delicious twice-cooked pork, feeling very happy.

"Oh, this bastard Li Yuan, although I don't know why he suddenly became so carefree after going to college, but he has really good vision. The two girlfriends he found here are both so outstanding and beautiful."

"It would be great if I could have three daughters-in-law. Each of them would have a fat boy, and the legacy of Lao Li's family would be passed down..."

"I have recruited some college students from my school to work part-time at the entrepreneurial base. You also need to pay their wages. At the end of each month, Lin Yuwei will hand over the attendance information to you. You can just pay them according to the daily salary."

Xia Zhijin nodded seriously when she heard that Li Yuan had added another burden to her.

"I will try my best!"

Li Yuan smiled: "Don't put any psychological burden on me. I'm still focusing on studying at the moment. I just want to get familiar with the company in advance and pass the time as if I'm free."

"The company doesn't have much profit now, and the finances are relatively simple. You can only get in and out. Once we get on the right track, I will look for professional financial personnel to give you a little assistant."

"Oh, I will listen to you." Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan and replied obediently.

Li Yuan saw this and mentioned it again with a smile.

"By the way, Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang from our dormitory are also working part-time in our company. When the time comes, their salaries will be raised appropriately. They are all classmates and roommates, so I can help if I can."

Xia Zhijin looked a little surprised. She didn't expect that several of Li Yuan's roommates would also work part-time in the company.

"Then what standard are the wages of the three of them based on?"

Li Yuan smiled: "For other part-time college students, I have initially set a salary of 1000 yuan per month. If they do well at the end of the year, I will give them some performance bonuses."

"As for Liu Jia and the others, let's pay 1500 a month. Let's see how they perform first. The company is still relatively small and has no profit. It will gradually get on the right track in the future. At that time, the financial department, human resources department Departments, marketing departments, R&D departments, etc. must be established one by one.”

"Oh, I know!" Xia Zhijin replied with a smile. Whenever she listened to Li Yuan talk to her about the company's future development plans, even though she had never heard of many things, she was still very happy.

This means that Li Yuan has her in his heart and has her in his future plans.
Li Yuan habitually placed his right hand on Xia Zhijin's thigh and thought of another question.

"Zhijin, how were you getting along with my mother this morning? Did she make things difficult for you?"

Xia Zhijin's face turned red and she shook her head quickly, "Auntie is very nice to me and very kind. She asked me many things and talked with me about daily life. She also said that when she is free in the future, she will go to the mountain city to see my grandma and her husband. Where’s Aning?”

Listening to Xia Zhijin's story, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was natural.

With Xia Zhijin's character, he really couldn't imagine that his mother could have any objections to her.

Even he himself doesn't know where to start if he wants to find some shortcomings in Xia Zhijin.

If we really want to talk about shortcomings, there may only be one, a somewhat unspeakable shortcoming?

Her voice was a little weak while the two were playing poker?

Li Yuan doesn't know if this is a shortcoming.
quickly,

The car drove into the school. Li Yuan first took Xia Zhijin to the operation base of the teaching and research building for a brief look, and then sent her back to the dormitory.

Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Li Yuan sat in the car, took out his mobile phone, looked at the message sent by Bai Weixi, and muttered to himself.

Why was he like an 'escort' who was constantly on the go? After spending time with Zhong Tingyue, then with Xia Zhijin, he had to go with Bai Weixi right away.

"Oh, life is hard. This is the trouble of happiness when you have too many girlfriends." Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

If other boys in school knew what he was thinking, they would probably be furious to death.
Li Yuan picked up the phone and dialed Bai Weixi's number.

As soon as the call was dialed, it only rang for a few seconds before Bai Weixi answered the call. "Brother, you finally called me. I thought you had forgotten me."

Bai Weixi's tone was hopeful but mixed with some dissatisfaction. She had sent a message to Li Yuan in the morning, but Li Yuan did not go to her on the excuse that he was busy at the company.

It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon now.

"How could that happen?" Li Yuan smiled and asked, "Xiaobai, where are you now? I'll pick you up."

Bai Weixi smiled and said, "I'm in the house here in Feicui Mansion now. Yuchen came to play with me last night, so I didn't go back to the school dormitory to live."

"Are you coming here to find me now, or are you waiting for me to go back to school?"

Hearing that Wang Yuchen was with Bai Weixi, Li Yuan had a playful smile on his face.

He didn't know how this little pepper with the "senior green tea" attribute would react when he found out how many boats he was in.
Anyway, I definitely won’t say good things about myself.

In the past few days, when he and Xu Zhi chatted occasionally, he heard Xu Zhi keep complaining that Wang Yuchen had become indifferent to him recently. The relationship that once almost broke the last layer of C~N membrane has become complicated and confusing now.
And because Xu Zhi invested all his money in the stock market and had little money except for basic living expenses, Wang Yuchen became quite resentful of him. As time went by, the relationship began to become somewhat estranged.
Li Yuan once joked with Xu Zhi, "Bye bye, the next one will be better behaved, and when they get rich, all kinds of beauties will rush to come over."
It's a pity that Xu Zhi is somewhat similar to himself in the previous life, and he is still unwilling to give up this budding relationship.
Li Yuan stopped the emotions in his mind and said to Bai Weixi, "Okay, I'll go find you."

"Okay, brother, I'll wait for you at home."

Jade Mansion Community.

Wang Yuchen was lying on the rocking chair on the balcony, enjoying the warm autumn sun, staring at the park outside the window, feeling extremely envious.

This is life.

Unfortunately, this kind of life does not belong to me, but to my best friend.

"A house worth more than two million yuan, a BMW sports car, a Mercedes-Benz sedan, LV bags, and designer clothes. Li Yuan, a scumbag, is really willing to give up to Wei Xi."

"I thought Wei Xi would choose to break up with Li Yuan, but in the end I accepted him and accepted this situation."

"That's right. If Wei Xi takes the initiative to let go now, he is willing to throw away everything he has at his fingertips. He will gain advantage over several other vixens for nothing, and his three years of high school youth will be wasted."

"Li Yuan has created another 'Zhihu' now. Judging from the current trend, it is quite popular. He might also become a business tycoon and billionaire in the future."

Wang Yuchen glanced at Bai Weixi who was talking to Li Yuan in the living room, and couldn't help but think of his "boyfriend" Xu Zhi.

In high school, she felt that Xu Zhi was pretty good. He was very kind to her, always accompanied her, and cared about her in every possible way. They were admitted to the same university, and they were also an envied couple in the eyes of their high school classmates.

At that time, she had already planned to have a sweet love relationship with Xu Zhi in college.

But after arriving at university, I met more outstanding friends, and Li Yuan, a high school classmate, suddenly seemed to be shining like a bright pearl around me. Compared with the mediocre Xu Zhi, there was a big gap in my heart.

My best friend lives in a mansion, drives a luxury car, and wears famous brands. My living expenses are more than 600 yuan a month, and I am not even willing to buy snacks and milk tea.
She is not reconciled!

Wang Yuchen thought of Li Yuan's strong figure and handsome face, and couldn't help but think of the accident that night. Her eyes kept flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking!
……

After a while, Bai Weixi came to the balcony with a sweet smile.

Wang Yuchen asked curiously: "Xiaobai, was it Li Yuan who called you?"

Bai Weixi nodded and explained a little shyly: "Li Yuan's mother has returned to Shanghai. He is taking me home to meet my aunt tonight."

Wang Yuchen's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "You are really fast! You have started to meet both parents. When you graduate from college, you are not allowed to get married and have another baby!"

Bai Weixi smiled shyly. Li Yuan had met her parents half a month ago. Her parents were very, very satisfied with Li Yuan. They often asked her how their relationship was in the past few days, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.
As for the rumors spread on the Internet, I can't see them these days. My parents don't surf the Internet much, so I still don't know the real situation.

"Yuchen, please help me think about it. Do I need to buy a gift when I go to meet my aunt for the first time? What gift is better?"

Wang Yuchen thought for a while and said: "Li Yuan is about the same age as us, and his mother is almost in her forties. Middle-aged women generally prefer bags, cosmetics, jewelry, etc..."

"Xiaobai, what gift are you going to buy for Li Yuan's mother?"

Bai Weixi shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know anything about his mother, but"

The figures of Li Yuan's parents appeared in Bai Weixi's mind. Although they did not have close contact, they were very simple rural people based on their appearance. They should be easy to get along with, right?

Wang Yuchen saw Bai Weixi's tangled look and joked:

"Xiao Bai, in my opinion, you should buy some better imported fruits, such as cherries and durians, and then buy gold jewelry, jade pendants, jade bracelets, etc., to ensure that your future mother-in-law will like it. "

"Besides, usually when a girlfriend comes to visit, the elder gives a gift to the younger one, so you can just go and be alone."

"Even if you don't buy any gifts, just because of your appearance, figure, and education, Xiaobai, Li Yuan will be so fucking happy when he sees you."

"So, Xiaobai, you don't have to worry at all."

After listening to Wang Yuchen's words, Bai Weixi was still a little nervous. It was the first time she met Li Yuan's parents, and she wanted to leave a good impression on them.

Just like when Li Yuan met his parents, he prepared Maotai, Zhonghua, Rolex, and LV, and coaxed his parents around, but he just had to get the two of them married...

Bai Weixi paused and asked, "Yuchen, how about buying a pair of jade bracelets? My mother also has a pair of jade bracelets. I think they look good when worn."

Wang Yuchen smiled and nodded: "That's okay. The jade bracelet is indeed very beautiful, but it's not cheap. The better ones cost thousands or tens of thousands. Do you have that much money?"

When Bai Weixi heard this, she pursed her lips and chuckled: "Li Yuan gave me a bank card. I haven't used it much. We just bought a few sets of clothes last time we went shopping."

Wang Yuchen thought of the way Bai Weixi swiped his card last time he went shopping, and felt extremely envious.

She really didn't know how much money was in the card Li Yuan gave to Bai Weixi.

The last time I went shopping to buy clothes, it was just

"Xiao Bai, you don't have to save money for Li Yuan, just spend what you should. Think about it, if you don't spend it, he will spend it for other women."

Bai Weixi looked stunned and glanced at Wang Yuchen hesitantly.

Although what Yuchen said seemed to make sense, she always felt that it was not good. She couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.
"Yuchen, how are you and Xu Zhi doing lately?"

Wang Yuchen curled his lips nonchalantly: "Don't mention him, he's made me so angry recently."

Bai Weixi asked curiously: "What's wrong with you two? I heard you complaining about him a few days ago."

Wang Yuchen frowned and muttered:

"I don't know the reason, I just don't feel the same as before. Every day, I am pestered to chat and ask questions, good morning, good night, have you slept, what are you doing? It's annoying to death. I would go out to sing with my roommate, and he would always be on the phone, so I felt like I didn’t have any free time.”

"That's all. He's been wearing a lot of clothes recently. When we went shopping together, I spotted a few clothes that I liked, but he was reluctant to buy them for me."

"Xiao Bai, do you know? We went shopping in the mall for two hours, and he bought me a cup of milk tea and a bag of chestnuts. We went there on a bus full of sweaty odor, and even took a taxi. Not willing to fight."

"If he could be half, no, one-tenth as generous as Li Yuan, I would be so happy."

Listening to Wang Yuchen's various complaints about Xu Zhi, for some reason, Bai Weixi suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of envy in her heart.

Li Yuan was very generous to himself in terms of material things, but because he was not his only one, he could not enjoy the kind of meticulous care that Wang Yuchen said...

No, I have already enjoyed it during my three years in high school.

Bai Weixi continued to listen to Wang Yuchen's complaints, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of the dream Li Yuan told her about her previous life.

In the dream Li Yuan mentioned, Li Yuan was just an ordinary college student like Xu Zhi. He was not so talented. He made millions a month just by writing a novel. He could not write songs or sing. He is nice to listen to, but he has a stupid mouth, he doesn’t know how to speak sweet words, he is single-minded to himself, and his mind is full of himself...

But if I met Li Yuan like this in college, would I still love him regardless of everything?
Will you give him all your first times?
Just like how Wang Yuchen felt about Xu Zhi, would he also be disappointed in that ordinary Li Yuan?
Bai Weixi suddenly became very confused. She subconsciously wanted to deny that she was not the woman in the dream that Li Yuan said.

But when she saw her good friends around her constantly complaining, she felt confused and hesitant for the second time.

The first time was when Li Yuan sang the song "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole" to himself...

"Am I really a bad woman who loves vanity?"

Bai Weixi murmured to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

"No, that's not the case. I've liked him since high school."

"If I didn't like him, why would I ignore the comments of my classmates and sit at the same table with him for two years?"

"Why did you reject all other boys' confessions for him, and even gave him the love letters you received..."

"Why would I be willing to let him hold my hand, let him kiss me, and make an agreement with him..."

"I obviously like him..."

"But why did I become like that in that world?"

"Is it because, like Yuchen, I started to like it from the beginning but gradually became disappointed?"

"If that's the case, it will delay his youth for seven years. No wonder he hates me so much..."

Bai Weixi felt a slight pain in her heart as she thought about it. She looked at Wang Yuchen as if she saw her own shadow...
