When Nanxi returned to school, it was after ten in the morning, too early for lunch. Yang Su and the others were surprised and asked why.
Nanxi said, "I suddenly missed you all, so I didn’t have lunch at my uncle’s house and returned here!"
Yang Su and Lan Qiqi collectively rolled their eyes. How fake!
At two in the afternoon, Nanxi was dressed neatly, turned around and struck a pose with them, asking, "How do I look?"
Lan Qiqi had no objections, but Yang Su disapproved, saying that her attire was too plain and if she went to the Li family , she would be compared and found lacking to her two sisters!
Moreover, Yang Su claimed that since Nanxi had already graduated from university and had been working for a few days as a white-collar worker, she should dress more maturely!
Nanxi frowned, "Should I wear professional attire to visit the Li family?"
Yang Su shook her head, "No need!"
Then she touched her chin and suggested, "How about doing some makeup?"
Half an hour later, Nanxi looked at herself in the mirror and frowned, "This..." and reached out to wipe it off...
Yang Su stopped her, "What are you doing, don’t mess up the makeup, isn’t it pretty? I guarantee Li Weihuan will be dumbfounded when he sees it!"
Nanxi was skeptical. Dumbfounded? That’s an exaggeration!
However, to her surprise, Li Weihuan did indeed become dumbfounded!
Upon seeing Nanxi, Li Weihuan opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word. It was only when Nanxi called him that he came back to his senses, stepped forward, and took Nanxi’s hand, "...let’s...go!"
Nanxi nodded and followed Li Weihuan into the car!
In the car, Nanxi noticed that Li Weihuan was restless. Driving the car, he kept glancing at her, making her uncomfortable!
She wondered, didn’t he like the makeup on her face? Was it ugly or something else?
Nanxi, feeling a little angry, said, "Stop looking at me!"
"..." Li Wei Huan blinked and nodded, "I’m sorry, Nanxi!"
Nanxi, "Can you concentrate on driving?"
Li Wei Huan, "...Okay!"
Nanxi frowned, feeling confused: Why was Li Wei Huan being so compliant today?!
This was the first time Nanxi had truly visited the Li family. She had come with Li Weixuan before, but she hadn’t entered the house. This time was different.
When they got out of the car, a servant from the Li family greeted them with a smile, being very respectful to Li Weihuan. He kept addressing him as "Young Master ", but Li Weihuan didn’t pay much attention and simply led Nanxi into the house.
The courtyard of the Li family was large, which made Nanxi think of the Lu family. Both were powerful and prominent families, comparable in scale!
The difference was that the Lu family’s courtyard was full of flowers and plants, while the Li family’s yard was a large open lawn.
It looked much grander, but also rather monotonous and solemn!
Nanxi felt very nervous. Li Weihuan turned his head and looked at her, "Don’t be nervous!"
Nanxi tried to muster a weak smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not nervous!"
Li Weihuan nodded, took her hand, and walked into the house. At the entrance hall, a coquettish female voice rang out, "Auntie, you’re too kind. I’m not that good!"
Li Weihuan frowned, and Nanxi too, stood there, looking at Li Weihuan cluelessly!
Then, Qi Qun’s voice came from inside, "Yuchen, don’t be so modest with auntie. Auntie watched you grow up. If you didn’t go to England for your studies, auntie would’ve wanted to make you my daughter-in-law!"
At this, the girl named "Yuchen" laughed softly, "Auntie, don’t joke with me. Weihuan doesn’t fancy me. He used to bully me when we were young..."
Nanxi, standing at the door, had a rough idea of the identity of the girl named "Yuchen" inside the room. While she was indifferent to it, she glanced at Li Weihuan next to her.
As she suspected, Li Weihuan’s entire face changed, and the grip on Nanxi’s hand tightened!
Nanxi pushed him, and he gritted his teeth, saying nothing, just turned around and walked away with Nanxi!
Upon seeing this, the servant at the door quickly called out, "Young Master——"
This "Young Master" alerted the several people sitting in the room talking. Qi Qun’s face changed immediately. She quickly stood up and said to the girl sitting next to her, "Yuchen, you sit first. Weihuan is probably back, I’ll go and check!"
"Alright!" the girl obediently replied!
Outside, Li Weihuan angrily led Nanxi away, scaring her. Nanxi called out, "Weihuan..."
Li Weihuan ignored her and continued to storm forward. Growing anxious, Nanxi asked, "Weihuan, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
"To our place! Nanxi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you here. I was wrong, I was awfully wrong. I swear I’ll never step into this house again after I walk you out of that door today! They can do whatever they want with this home!"
"Weihuan..." Nanxi was genuinely worried hearing his words. But with Li Weihuan pulling her arm so forcefully, she couldn’t break free — she didn’t have the strength!
"Weihuan, stop it, I heard everything that was said just now. But I swear I didn’t take it to heart. Your mother was just being polite, I could tell. How could you not?"
Li Weihuan ignored her. Nanxi didn’t understand his mother, but didn’t he?
Knowing that Nanxi was coming, she had actually invited Ye Yuchen over. Who was she trying to snub?
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but was unsuccessful. Behind him, Qi Qun called his name. It was useless, he was determined to leave with Nanxi!
No one could stop him!
Nanxi heard Qi Qun’s call and was also anxious. He had already made so many mistakes because of her,how could she let him abandon his family and his home for her?
She exclaimed, "Weihuan!"
Li Weihuan still paid no heed so she took a deep breath and said, "Weihuan, you brought me here to meet your parents, but now you want to take me away... What does that mean... Do you think your family looks down on me? Or do you think I can’t compare to ’Yuchen’? Do you have that little faith in me? If that’s the case, why did you bring me here in the first place? You want to leave right after we come, are you playing with me?"
"Nanxi, stop talking, under no circumstances will I allow anyone to hurt you, or bully you!"
"Right now, the person who’s hurting me is you!" Nanxi took a deep breath, "Weihuan, you really disappoint me. How can someone like you now possibly make me happy in the future? What will you do to make me happy?"
Li Weihuan stopped in his tracks and looked at Nanxi in disbelief, asking her, "What did you just say? Nanxi... what did you just say?"
"Take me to meet your parents! Or we go our separate ways. Pick one!" Nanxi was resolute!
Li Weihuan pressed his lips together, watching as Qi Qun caught up from behind. Qi Qun grabbed Li Weihuan’s hand, her eyes glistening with tears. She blurted out, "Weihuan, what are you doing? Are you doing this to upset me on purpose? I’m your mother, I’ve raised you for twenty-five years, is this how you repay me?"
Li Weihuan freed his hand from her grip and scoffed, "Who’s upsetting who? Mother, you know better than me!"
