After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 249

Qi Li knew about Guo Yalan's allergy to lemon. Although it was a memory from long ago, how could he possibly forget? He just hadn't paid attention to the drink situation since his mind was elsewhere.

This misunderstanding made him feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

However, Guo Yalan had always been like this with her temperament, so even when being snapped at or scolded, Qi Li didn't think she didn't care about him.

After all, Guo Yalan had deliberately mentioned wanting to meet other handsome men right in front of him, her ex-boyfriend.

Wasn't she just putting on a show to make him jealous?

What Qi Li didn't know was that Guo Yalan had always been like this abroad. In China, Qi Li was her only ex-boyfriend, and after their breakup, she went overseas, so he never had the chance to experience this side of her.

In Guo Yalan's view, a breakup meant making a clean break. If they had to remain in the same social circle and still be considerate of each other, it would be too troublesome.

That's why Guo Yalan's carefree attitude was well-known abroad.

Sometimes at a single gathering, she could harmoniously coexist with more than ten ex-boyfriends present.

Meanwhile, Qi Li was either indulging in wishful thinking or instinctively avoiding rational thought out of fear of losing face...

Even though Guo Yalan had returned, she still wouldn't bow her head properly. She truly maintained that difficult temperament of hers. What he hated most was Guo Yalan's temper - if they were to marry in the future, she would definitely need to change it.

Naturally, Qi Li's temper wasn't good either. Otherwise, when Guo Yalan left the country and broke up with him, he wouldn't have resorted to threats and curses instead of trying to keep her or following her.

So facing the current situation, Qi Li characteristically chose to meet force with force, to see who was tougher and who would bow first.

He imperiously commanded Han Ziyu, who was about to go change the drinks: "Let someone else handle that. Come over here."

Everyone's attention immediately shifted. Lily, standing beside Qi Li, looked even more displeased. She didn't blame Qi Li but glared viciously at Han Ziyu, as if ready to bite her if she dared to come over.

Ji Fei hadn't expected Qi Li's dramatic move either.

[He's not only refusing to find a way out of this situation but continuing to make a spectacle of himself? Why does he seem to have automatically blocked out how Han Ziyu just avoided him like the plague and how his lies were exposed? Is this a required skill for privileged young masters, living in their own world?]

[He still wants Han Ziyu to play along? He really never learns from his mistakes. Does he still confidently believe that Han Ziyu harbors feelings for him, so he'd rather have her help than Lily? He should look at Lily beside him, who's nearly red-eyed with jealousy - she would definitely complete his performance perfectly.]

Qi Li's stubbornness made Ji Fei want to arrange things reasonably for him.

Qin Xian also hadn't expected his friend to be so self-destructive. He couldn't be bothered to stop his self-sabotaging behavior anymore.

When Han Ziyu heard her former boss's commanding tone, she wanted to roll her eyes dramatically. Did this guy really think he was some ridiculous overbearing CEO from a romance novel?

But as she couldn't offend the party's host, Han Ziyu tried to maintain a professional tone: "Sir, I need to be ready for Professor Ji's instructions at all times. If you need service, I can call a colleague for you."

Qi Li's pupils constricted in disbelief. He hadn't expected Han Ziyu to refuse to cooperate with him again and again. His irritation grew - it was one thing for the real target to be defiant, but what right did a substitute have?

Did she understand that he had planned to use her to provoke Guo Yalan earlier and was now angry about it?

Qi Li wouldn't indulge her. His tone became severe, "Han Ziyu, my patience is limited. Remember your place, come here!"

Han Ziyu was now wearing a forced smile. "Sir, my only role here is as a current server. Please don't make our work difficult."

She felt incredibly unlucky - who could have known her former boss would be so unreasonable? She had already resigned, yet he still wanted to order her around?

What position was she in? Others might not know, but how could Qi Li not know? Now that the contract had ended, what position was he talking about? If he had come to her a day earlier to sign a contract for a performance, as long as the price was right, she wouldn't have minded adding some benefits for the welfare home children.

But now he wanted her to work for free? Even capitalists weren't this absurd.

Qi Li hadn't expected that even with his stern tone, Han Ziyu still wouldn't cooperate. She was really getting out of hand. He started trembling with anger, his face turning slightly blue.

If he couldn't control Guo Yalan, could he not even control Han Ziyu?

[Hah, Han Ziyu used to act docile and submissive, but she wasn't actually like that. Qi Li must have fooled himself.]

However, it wasn't Qi Li who exploded - it was Lily who could no longer contain herself.

She hated both Han Ziyu and Guo Yalan. Today was supposed to be the party Qi Li held for her, so why did these two hussies have to appear and steal her spotlight and Qi Li's attention?

Lily didn't dare confront Guo Yalan, but who did Han Ziyu think she was?

If Han Ziyu hadn't refused Qi Li, Lily would definitely have exploded, but Han Ziyu's refusal made Lily feel even more humiliated. It was as if this little tramp was playing hard to get with something Lily couldn't have - who was she trying to insult?

If she couldn't compete with Guo Yalan, could she really not even compete with Han Ziyu?

It must be said that Lily and Qi Li were truly alike in their thinking. Even though it wasn't anything good, Lily couldn't bear being not even a supporting character in this drama.

Before anyone could react, Lily stepped forward and snatched the glass from Han Ziyu's tray, splashing the drink all over her.

The liquid drenched Han Ziyu from head to toe, instantly making her look disheveled.

Seeing that similar face in such a sorry state gave Lily a double dose of satisfaction, making her feel extremely pleased.

Qi Li, standing nearby, hadn't expected Lily to suddenly act like this. He instinctively moved forward as if to step in, but stopped himself a moment later, then coldly smirked. This is what Han Ziyu got for not knowing better - he had really spoiled her too much. Playing attitude with him in this kind of setting, a little lesson would help her calm down and remember who she should rely on!

"You!" Han Ziyu almost lost her temper.

"When Young Master Qi gives you face, you should know your place. Stop pretending - look at yourself in the mirror. What do you think you are? You're not even an ant to us. Don't think that because others are polite to you and Qi Li used to spoil you, you can be so presumptuous. You're nothing but a poor working girl. I can't stand pretentious people like you. If you dare to be so insolent again, I'll smash your mouth!"

Han Ziyu had probably never encountered such an unreasonable rich young lady before, and her eyes immediately turned red.

When Han Ziyu was splashed, Ji Fei and Guo Yalan immediately stood up. Ji Fei grabbed a towel and handed it to Han Ziyu.

Guo Yalan pushed Lily away.

"If you're in heat, keep it to yourself, why are you acting crazy!" Guo Yalan scolded without mercy. "Is Qi Li ignoring you making you this desperate?"
