Liu Jin's resort, well-known in Shanghai,
is located in the outskirts of the city, away from the urban hustle and bustle, with pleasant scenery.
Within the resort, there are places like a horse racing track, archery range, and a golf course, to ntion just a few.
After a long journey, and having just waited for quite so ti at the entrance, a group of people were sowhat tired and, led by Liu Jin, they sat down in the tea house inside the resort to rest.
After the waiters had served tea to everyone, Liu Jin took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
The purpose of organizing this event today was to foster a good relationship with Xu Fan and cling to his powerful coattails.
However, the current outco left Liu Jin sowhat disappointed.
Xu Fan showed absolutely no interest in him, even though he tried hard to curry favor; it was useless.
On the contrary, the group of newcors around Liu Cancan, now that they knew the resort belonged to him, were desperately sucking up to him.
"Plant willows with intention and they won't grow; plant flowers without care and they'll bloom luxuriantly." Seeing these short-sighted fools snub Xu Fan and fawn over him, Liu Jin felt a bout of frustration.
What kind of situation was this…
"Alright, everyone has had enough rest. How about we go to my horse riding area to have so fun?"
Not disheartened, and seeing that the conversation wasn't going further, Liu Jin suggested they all go and have fun at the horse riding area.
"Yes, yes, cousin, let's go quickly. I've never ridden a horse before."
The suggestion was quickly accepted and even Guan Shing showed quite an interest.
"Xu Fan, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Pampered like a treasure in her family since childhood, Guan Shing had never engaged in such activities and now looked expectantly at Xu Fan beside her.
Thinking she would ask Xu Fan to teach her horse riding later.
"Of course, I can."
Having grown up in the Tibetan border region, this wasn't an issue for him. Seeing Guan Shing showing great interest, Xu Fan smiled and said, "I'll teach you later."
"Then let's hurry over there!"
After having tried so hard, he finally managed to hit the right note. Seeing Xu Fan and Guan Shing interested in horse riding, Liu Jin stood up and led the group out of the tea house.
"You guys go ahead, I'll go to the restroom and join you in a bit."
At that mont, Li Qinghe excused herself.
"Qinghe, should I wait for you?"
"No need, go ahead."
Seeing that Li Junxiu still wanted to linger by her side, Li Qinghe decisively rejected him.
"Shing, go ahead with them. I'll go to the restroom too."
Having observed this, Xu Fan told Guan Shing.
Thinking he could use this opportunity to ask about Zhuo Wei.
"Alright, sure."
After the group left the tea house, Xu Fan headed in the direction of the restroom.
Today, Liu Jin's resort was closed to others just to please him, so at that mont, Li Qinghe was the only one in the won's restroom.
Entering the restroom, he saw Li Qinghe standing by the washbasin, lost in thought.
"You… why are you here?"
Her reason for quietly avoiding everyone wasn't just because she was fed up with Li Junxiu.
It was more because of Xu Fan.
Pretending not to know each other wasn't so easy.
"Hooligan, if you don't get out, I am going to call soone to throw you out!"
Seeing Xu Fan walking towards her, Li Qinghe tried to keep a stern face and threatened him.
With no one else there, Li Qinghe still pretended not to know him, and Xu Fan, with a wry smile, said, "Li Qinghe, are we really such strangers?"
"Hmph, are we that familiar?"
Xu Fan had done nothing wrong; the mistake was her own for having developed feelings first.
Now that he had taken the initiative to look for her, maybe, just maybe, he had a place for her in his heart.
Thinking this, Li Qinghe couldn't help but feel a burst of secretive joy, but she kept her face expressionless.
This ti, tilting her chin up, she gave Xu Fan a cold glance.
"Familiar or not, why don't you ask your dear father and see?"
"That old man, he's been looking forward to becoming your husband every day."
"You!"
"Scoundrel!"
He didn't bicker with Li Qinghe much; seeing that she had cald down a bit, Xu Fan asked, "Are you and Guan Shing truly friends?"
"What? Xu Fan, you're not telling that you ca to see just to remind not to ss up your good thing, are you?"
How could Li Qinghe not see the relationship between Xu Fan and Guan Shing?
The two of them most likely had known each other for a while, and their relationship was even quite ambiguous.
This ti, glaring at Xu Fan, she snorted.
The way Li Qinghe thought made Xu Fan feel a bit amused. Seeing her face full of resentnt, Xu Fan said, "Li Qinghe, I'm not that shaless."
"A few days ago, a reporter nad Zhuo Wei..."
This ti, looking at Li Qinghe, Xu Fan told her everything about Zhuo Wei in detail.
After listening, Li Qinghe couldn't help but sneer.
"Xu Fan, according to you, my getting close to Guan Shing is ant to harm her?"
"So by that logic, considering your good relationship with her, should I be removed to prevent her from getting hurt?"
"..."
Li Qinghe had once again misunderstood his intention, and seeing her looking so aggrieved, Xu Fan felt helpless.
How could he have such childish thoughts...
With Li Qinghe's status in the entertainnt industry, there was no need for her to resort to such sches.
"Qinghe, what I an is, I want you to help ."
With Li Qinghe's position at Hua Entertainnt, it probably wouldn't take much effort to settle the matter.
Xu Fan couldn't care less about Huan Ya's fight with Hua Entertainnt, nor did he want to intervene.
But he would not allow Guan Shing to beco a casualty of the two companies' feud.
"Hmph, why should I help you?"
Li Qinghe was unaware of the situation Xu Fan had ntioned.
Her acquaintance with Guan Shing was a long story to tell. In short, in this impetuous era, she greatly admired the girl who remained untainted by the mud.
Thinking about it, if soone else had asked for her help, perhaps she would have agreed.
But now, the one asking for a favor was this guy...
Recalling how often he had given her the cold shoulder, Li Qinghe's heart filled with indignation, and she intentionally made things difficult for him.
"..."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, looking at Li Qinghe who was now acting petulant, Xu Fan sighed, "So, what do you want to do? Should I offer myself to you in return?"
"Get lost! I don't want you at all."
Li Qinghe promptly rolled her eyes at him without hesitation.
Seeing this, Xu Fan said with a bitter smile, "How about this? I'll help you deal with Li Junxiu, okay?"
Likely seeing Li Qinghe's aversion to Li Junxiu, Xu Fan volunteered himself this ti.
"You? Are you capable?"
Xu Fan's proposal did seem to tempt Li Qinghe a bit.
Only, with her cold attitude, Li Junxiu still wouldn't give up harassing her. Could Xu Fan really help her?
