Chapter 296: Do You Have Someone You Like? (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Life was quite difficult.
As for Li Yu, he had lost his parents and was supporting his sister’s education… Their situations were too similar. When Xiaoxi looked at Li Yu, she would most likely think of the life she had led in the past and feel sorry for him.
Otherwise, how could she have fallen for Li Yu in such a short time?
Ye Xiaoxi pondered for a moment before saying, “Perhaps you’re right. There are indeed many similarities between Li Yu and I, but I’m not as outstanding as him.”
“No, you’re equally outstanding. Xiaoxi, I really admire you for being able to persevere until today.”
Jiang Yining said sincerely.
Ye Xiaoxi instantly felt ecstatic!
She thought, “Haha! The goddess actually admired me!”
She was so happy!
Ye Xiaoxi grinned from ear to ear. “Yining, praise me again.”
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Until they reached the hotel, Ye Xiaoxi kept pestering Jiang Yinign for more compliments.
Jiang Yining had no other choice and reluctantly praised her with a couple of indifferent remarks.
Even so, it was enough to make Ye Xiaoxi elated.
The two of them took the elevator to the top floor.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard a familiar voice loudly protesting. “Why can’t 1 go in? I’ve already booked this place well in advance. Do you think you can just revoke it? Where is the consideration for the customer’s interest?” Xiao Yeyu was particularly angry.
She had been hiding at home and hardly went out recently.
It wasn’t easy for her to have a meal outside, but she was rejected at the door.
This made her exceptionally furious.
The hotel manager said, “We’re very sorry, but we have to entertain a VIP guest tonight. I can’t let you in. Miss Xiao, as compensation, our hotel is willing to compensate you ten times the loss.”
“Do I care about your money?” Xiao Yeyu said arrogantly, “Bring that distinguished guest over. Let me see who she is! Why let her in and not me?” The hotel manager was in a dilemma.
Jiang Yining stepped forward and said, “I’m here. Didn’t you want to see
me? You can look now.”
When Xiao Yeyu heard Jiang Yining’s voice, she shivered in fear.
She slowly turned around and looked back.
Seeing that it was Jiang Yining, she swallowed her saliva and said, “So it’s
Yining. 1 didn’t know you were coming here for a meal. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll leave first.”
Ye Xiaoxi was furious when she saw her and sarcastically remarked, “Why are you running away so quickly? We’re sisters after all. We haven’t seen each other for so long. We can catch up.”
Xiao Yeyu stopped in her tracks and said with a sense of grievance, “Xiaoxi, 1 know I’ve let you down. But I’ve already been punished. Don’t stoop to my level and don’t hold it against me.”
Ye Xiaoxi snorted, “Who would want to stoop to your level? Xiao Yeyu, don’t think too highly of yourself!”
She hated it the most when others deceived her feelings!
Xiao Yeyu was even more detestable than those bandits and thieves! It was even more disgusting! Pretending to be sisters on the surface, but scheming behind her back!
The more Ye Xiaoxi looked at her, the more infuriated she became!
“Xiaoxi, let’s go.”
Jiang Yining didn’t want to get too entangled with a villain like Xiao Yeyu.
She said calmly.
“Yes.”
Ye Xiaoxi nodded.
Xiao Yeyu’s eyes reddened as she made way for them.
Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi didn’t spare her a glance and walked straight inside.
Just as they stepped in, Yuan Luochen arrived in the elevator right behind them.
Seeing Xiao Yeyu still standing outside, he asked, “Why aren’t you going in?” Xiao Yeyu said, “The top floor has been booked. The hotel won’t accommodate us.”
“Who is it? Who dares to fight for my territory? They’re asking for trouble?” Yuan Luochen said rudely.
“It’s Ye Xiaoxi and Jiang Yining.”
When Yuan Luochen heard these two names, his anger subsided by half.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Ye Xiaoxi and Jiang Yining.
Instead…
He still needed to curry favor with the Elizabeth family now, and he couldn’t let them know that he had intimate relations with Xiao Yeyu.
Otherwise, if Ye Xiaoxi turned around and told her father.
He would no longer have the chance of marrying Miss Elizabeth.
Yuan Luochen paused and said, “Let’s go. There’s more than one place to eat.
Let’s go to another place.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Yeyu felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Yuan Luochen was Ye Xiaoxi’s uncle, but as an elder, he dared not be too assertive with his younger relatives.
It was truly disappointing.
However, everything she had now depended on Yuan Luochen, so she didn’t dare to say anything.
She could only follow him.
The entire class occupied a total of thirteen tables.
When the classmates learned that Jiang Yining had booked the top floor of the hotel for the entire night, spending millions of dollars, they were all extremely shocked.
After that, they let loose and enjoyed the meal.
After all, most of the people here had never been to such a high-class hotel in their lives.
If they dined with others, they would feel restrained.
Now, with their closest friends and classmates, what else was there to consider?
The class monitor and a few classmates jeered and called the waiter to bring the wine.
Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi followed them and had a few drinks while playing games.
By the time the dinner ended, it was already past nine.
Jiang Yining had the hotel staff call taxis and send all the classmates home.
Then, she informed Ye Xiaoxi’s driver to pick her up.
She supported the stumbling Ye Xiaoxi and stood at the entrance of the hotel.
After waiting for a short while, the chauffeur drove over.
The driver’s door opened and the man got out.
Jiang Yining looked up and saw a slender and cheerful young man.
She suddenly had a feeling.
He was the person that Ye Xiaoxi liked.
“Hello, I’m Miss Yuan’s driver. Please hand her over to me.” Li Yu walked up to her and extended his long arm, saying politely.
Jiang Yining didn’t release Ye Xiaoxi, instead, she asked in a soft voice, “What’s your name?”
Li Yu remained silent and just stared at her.
Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow and said, “How can I trust you with Xiaoxi if I don’t know who you are?”
“I’m Li Yu, the personal bodyguard recently hired by Miss Yuan.”
Li Yu replied with a clear voice.
“Li Yu. I’ve heard Xiaoxi mention this name before. She praises you a lot.” Jiang Yining said playfully, then unexpectedly pushed the slightly drunk Ye Xiaoxi towards him.
Li Yu subconsciously hugged Ye Xiaoxi.
Jiang Yining smiled and said, “Alright, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, she hailed a taxi.
She jumped in cleanly.
Li Yu looked down at the person in his arms.
Ye Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at him with a silly smile. “Hmm… You are Li Yu… You’re really good-looking…”
She spoke slowly as if her brain had slowed down by a few beats.
Li Yu’s eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking.
A moment later, he carried her into the car..
