Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 331 - 151 Heading to Shancheng, Xia Zhijin Cries wit

Yang Jinyu spoke these words with a serious tone, her gaze lingering purposefully on Bai Weixi’s face.

Bai Weixi looked shy and huffed playfully, "Mom, I still want to test him a bit more."

Yang Jinyu let out a light huff. "Xixi, how else do you want to test Yuan? He’s already given you everything he can.

"Let tell you, from now on, you must get along well with Yuan. Don’t throw little tantrums over every little thing. Be more tolerant and caring. It’s not easy for Yuan with his career, you know..."

Seeing her mother taking Li Yuan’s side filled Bai Weixi with a bittersweet feeling—she was both deeply touched and felt slightly wronged. She was already being so well-behaved and obedient! Since they made their relationship official, she had given her all to Li Yuan, satisfying all his excessive demands. What more could he possibly want from her... However, Li Yuan was also very good to her and to her parents. She was truly moved.

"Okay, Mom, I understand. I’ll be more considerate of him."

Yang Jinyu let out another light hum, her features as beautiful as a painting as she smiled. "It’s good that you understand. He’s such an outstanding son-in-law; I wouldn’t accept anyone else."

After speaking, Yang Jinyu turned to look at Bai Tianqi. "Old Bai, haven’t you always liked rcedes? Your son-in-law bought another big Benz for your precious daughter. Quick, take the two of us for a spin."

Bai Weixi tactfully stuffed the rcedes keys into Bai Tianqi’s hands, smirking. "Dad, Mom, Li Yuan initially wanted to buy it directly for you, but he was afraid you’d decline, so he registered it in my na to give you a surprise."

"Dad, Mom, let’s go try it out," she added.

Yang Jinyu’s face bead with a smile. "My dear son-in-law is indeed very considerate and extrely generous. It’s making feel a bit embarrassed."

Bai Tianqi felt a little awkward, yet he was also extrely excited as he accepted the car keys from his daughter. He had never imagined that the dream he and his wife had pursued their entire lives could be achieved so easily. Having an outstanding daughter truly could change one’s fate.

「...」

After Li Yuan left the Erald Mansion complex in his BMW X6, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This first eting with my future in-laws went quite well. I spent enough money to lt even an iceberg. Bai Weixi’s parents are a typical middle-class family, a notch above my own but still a ways off from an average family in a big city. Families like theirs are easy to handle; all I have to do is be better than them. The instinct to admire the strong is deeply imprinted in their genes. They are a vivid representation of the masses who yearn to climb the social ladder.

Thinking about how Bai Weixi’s parents had acted today, Li Yuan sighed internally. The truth is so obvious, a reality I understood clearly in my past life. Why do I still harbor such illusions? Is this why my forr colleagues used to say I was too naïve, too simple, too emotional? The person involved is always confused, but a bystander sees clearly. Society has been a murky pool from ancient to modern tis. If you don’t have the talent to rise from the mud unstained, what’s the point of pretending to be above it all? It’s just a joke.

Li Yuan smirked, the tension in his mind suddenly easing.

As a man, you should never complain about a woman or her family. As long as you work hard enough and act with a clear conscience, what does it matter what happens? Cut off who you need to cut off, replace who you need to replace. In the end, it all cos down to not being outstanding enough. If I were truly exceptional, the whole world would be eager to embrace , and I’d never lack for beautiful eighteen-year-old girls... That’s the reality of society. Whether you face it calmly or refuse to admit defeat, this social law will always exist. Poor in the city, no one is interested; rich in the mountains, distant relatives flock. The ancients spelled out this truth long ago.

Lost in his thoughts, Li Yuan drove leisurely down the wide road toward Jinxiu Villas.

If a truly pure and flawless treasure of a girl still exists in this world, she might be the only one left. With her, I feel no worries. Even the most restless heart would be cleansed in her presence. This isn’t about the primal desires of the flesh, but a hocoming for the soul.

「...」

「Jinxiu Villas」

Xia Zhijin stared blankly out the window, her gaze occasionally falling on the phone Li Yuan had given her. Her heart was in a turmoil as she waited for his ssage. Today was the day Li Yuan had promised to accompany her back to her hotown in Shancheng.

But Li Yuan hadn’t returned for two nights now, and she didn’t have the courage to ask why. She could only wait for him at ho, silently. Actually, she wasn’t the only one waiting; Li Yuan’s younger sister, Li Zixia, was there too.

At so point, Li Zixia had quietly co to Xia Zhijin’s side. Looking at this pure, beautiful, and exceptionally gentle and sensible young woman, Li Zixia felt a pang of heartache for her.

How could her own brother not know how to cherish such a wonderful girl? She just couldn’t understand it.

"Zhijin, let call my brother. What if he got busy and forgot?"

Xia Zhijin shook her head, speaking softly. "Zixia, there’s no need. Li Yuan must be busy."

Li Zixia muttered with dissatisfaction, "Zhijin, you’re my brother’s girlfriend. He should at least let you know what he’s up to."

Xia Zhijin smiled gently and shook her head, her gaze returning to the window as she continued to wait for Li Yuan. Just then, the door suddenly swung open.
