Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Annoying

Bai Xu’s gaze lingered on the woman standing behind Wang Dan’an.

The woman’s appearance bore some resemblance to Bian Yue, mainly in the almond-shaped eyes with similar contours. She wore a white dress, her hair cascading down, with almost no makeup on her pure and innocent face.

Different from Bian Yue’s flamboyant allure, she possessed a more pitiful charm.

Men seldom resisted this.

Bai Xu frowned, saying, "This lady..."

"Oh, you mean Youxue, she is an artist we at Red Mountain just signed this year, not yet officially debuted." Wang Dan’an said with a smile, "Today, I specifically brought her here to meet Mr. Li."

It was clearly evident what his intentions were.

Thinking of Li Sihe’s mood, Bai Xu’s frown deepened, "Maybe another day, President Wang, the young master is not in a good mood today."

"When in a bad mood, one should rest even more." Wang Dan’an responded, "You go ahead and let him know. If Mr. Li really doesn’t want to meet me, I will take Youxue and leave."

With the conversation reaching this point, Bai Xu could not dismiss him entirely.

After all, they were essentially Li Sihe’s business partners.

Although he knew, Li Sihe only cooperated with him because of Bian Yue.

Bai Xu regained her usual professionalism, smiling, "Then you and Miss Su, come in with me."

Inside the office, Li Sihe was still reviewing documents. Seeing Bai Xu bringing two people in, he looked up indifferently. The next moment, his gaze fell on the woman behind Wang Dan’an, his pupils narrowing...

Wang Dan’an, seeing Li Sihe’s reaction, knew that his move was most likely correct...

No one knew what understanding had been reached between Li Sihe and Wang Dan’an. However, two hours later, Su Youxue stayed behind as Li Sihe’s assistant.

Bai Xu and Su Youxue together saw Wang Dan’an off.

Wang Dan’an was older but still vibrant. He looked at Su Youxue, who escorted him, with fondness, "Youxue, study well at Feng Cheng, don’t trouble Mr. Li, and come back after some time."

Su Youxue was quick to open the car door for him before his assistant could, smiling, "President Wang, don’t worry, I won’t trouble Mr. Li, I will be obedient."

Wang Dan’an’s gaze towards Su Youxue carried a hint of satisfaction.

Bai Xu just watched from the side, her expression inscrutable, as if nothing had happened, watching the two communicate in their riddles.

"Assistant Bai, if Youxue causes any displeasure, please be patient." Before getting into the car, Wang Dan’an did not forget to plead for his person.

Bai Xu found the comment amusing, as after all, this was a person Li Sihe decided to keep, what could she really like or dislike?

Bai Xu said indifferently, "I am Mr. Li’s assistant, I follow Mr. Li’s orders."

And Su Youxue looked shy, seemingly the entrusted girlfriend image of Li Sihe, reassuring Wang Dan’an laughingly, "President Wang, Assistant Bai is very understanding, you don’t need to say more."

Wang Dan’an nodded, finally satisfied and got into the car.

The two stood there, watching the car disappear from view.

Su Youxue’s smile was light and lively, seeming like a naive girl, she looked up at Bai Xu with a drawn-out, utterly romantic tone, "Assistant Bai, why do you think President Chen would leave me here? Does Mr. Li... perhaps like me a bit?"

Bai Xu truly didn’t know if she was doing it on purpose or really was extremely clueless.

Bai Xu’s face momentarily wore a strange expression, then said coolly, "Doesn’t Miss Su know why she was left here?"

Su Youxue’s eyes appeared even more innocently puzzled.

But sometimes, too much is as bad as too little. Overacting is equally annoying.

Still, must one act so naively to the extreme?

Bai Xu frowned, somewhat speechless.

It’s like not checking the almanac before going out and running into a plague god, sending such a big Buddha into Feng Cheng.

Had I known earlier, I would have thought of an excuse to dismiss Wang Dan’an.

Although this woman bears some resemblance to Miss Bian, it’s impossible to capture her essence; she is nothing more than a vulgar and ordinary woman.

I don’t know what the young master was thinking, to actually keep her...

"Assistant Bai..." Seeing Bai Xu walking away, Su Youxue followed in her high heels, feigning ignorance, "Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

Bai Xu only hoped that Li Sihe would recover from his heartbreak soon; he didn’t want to have much to do with such a foolish woman.

The next day, in the morning.

Bian Yue woke up, and it was still raining continuously in Gang City.

Shen Jinci wasn’t at home; when Bian Yue went downstairs, she saw only the empty hall, where the butler was instructing people to clean.

"Lady woke up?" The butler respectfully approached Bian Yue, "Are you hungry, madam? Would you like to eat something?"

Bian Yue asked him, "Where did Shen Jinci go?"

"Madam, are you looking for your husband? The master went to Lixing early in the morning."

Bian Yue said, that’s fine.

It’s better that he’s not here; after last night’s drama, it would be awkward to see him now.

Bian Yue stood there, pondering, when suddenly she heard the butler continue: "Master Zhaoli will come over to find the master today; he might arrive soon. Would madam like to have breakfast with Master Zhaoli?"

Bian Yue was stunned, realized the timing, and thought that Shen Zhaoli should indeed be discharged from the hospital by now.

Since their last separation at the entrance of the Li Family, Bian Yue hadn’t seen Shen Zhaoli.

It was true that she had sent food to the hospital several times specifically, but Shen Zhaoli, being difficult to please, obviously hadn’t said anything positive, so the people who went didn’t share with Bian Yue whether he enjoyed the meals or not.

And now, he was discharged all of a sudden?

While Bian Yue was thinking this, footsteps were already approaching from the doorway.

Shen Zhaoli hadn’t entered yet, but his voice was really loud, "Aren’t you watching where you’re going? What is this, daring to block me! Do you think this is your house?!"

Hearing this tone, it seemed he had started an argument with someone.

Bian Yue was curious, and the next moment, she heard Wen Jiao’s voice, equally loud, "This isn’t your house either! Who do you think you are, big brother, talking to me like this here! Do you know who I am? I am Bian Yue’s best friend!"

"I am Bian Yue’s best friend~" Shen Zhaoli mockingly repeated Wen Jiao’s words: "Big sister, you really like to flatter yourself! Please take care of your umbrella, my leather shoes will be ruined if they get wet!"

"Who are you calling big sister! Little brat! Just a pair of leather shoes, so what if they are ruined? Why are you yelling like a banshee!"

Wen Jiao was even louder, "I’m telling you! I’ll call Bian Yue in a bit and have you kicked out, then you’ll see how fierce the rain can be!"

Before the argument between the two escalated into a physical fight, Bian Yue stepped forward to intervene.

The two ancestors were already ready to burst, their faces red and necks thick.

Bian Yue spoke with a headache, "Jiaojiao...did you need something from me?"

Wen Jiao glared at Shen Zhaoli and gritted her teeth, "The quality of the contracted artists you sign is getting worse! How could you be interested in such a pretty boy!"
