Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Delusional Xuu Family _1
In the following time, Xu Lele took Ye Ming through every corner of the hotel.
She also had Ye Ming taste a meal at the five-star hotel.
The two of them spent the day as if it were a date.
Lying in the soft bed at night, Xu Lele’s face occasionally broke into a silly smile.
Xia Ningning had already changed into her pajamas and was kneeling beside Xu Lele, watching her for a long time without receiving any attention.
Feeling annoyed inside, Xia Ningning mischievously poked Xu Lele in the ticklish spot, provoking a sharp scream from her.
Afterward, the two girls started frolicking on the bed, and only when they were tired did Xia Ningning ask, "Le Le, tell me honestly, what exactly did you do today that made you so happy?"
Xu Lele didn’t conceal anything and directly told her about the day’s date with Ye Ming.
Xia Ningning felt a sudden chest tightness and was almost out of breath.
She asked, "You can’t be serious, are you actually going to go through with it? Are you going to fulfill that marriage contract?"
"Le Le, you have to stay clear-headed."
Xu Lele said indifferently, "Ningning, why are you panicking? Come sleep with me!"
"Don’t worry, I have everything under control. He hasn’t even begun to serve as a shield yet; I’m just grooming him, just in case..."
At this, Xu Lele suddenly stopped.
Frowning, Xia Ningning asked, "Just in case what?"
"Just in case I really fall for him, fulfilling the marriage contract isn’t out of the question!" Xu Lele said, "Besides, Ye Ming isn’t like you think, he’s got a lot of backbone."
Xia Ningning had a headache, and with great patience, tried to reason, "You should let him go. You know full well what those suitors of yours are like. Ye Ming is just an ordinary person, how can he be your shield?"
"You’re completely engrossed now, the onlooker is clear, but the player is blind!"
Raising her eyebrows, Xu Lele whispered into Xia Ningning’s ear, "Ningning, how about we make a bet?"
"Hmm?" Xia Ningning was a bit stunned, "What bet?"
Xu Lele said, "I’m going to be in Hai City for a while longer, two months. I bet Ye Ming will definitely make something of himself."
"If the bet is won, I’ll fulfill the marriage contract, but if I lose, I’ll tear up the marriage contract in front of him, and we’ll never see each other again for the rest of our lives!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Xia Ningning asked.
Xu Lele’s eyes rolled slyly as she said, "Didn’t we agree before? If we get married, we’ll do it together, and if not, we’ll spend our days together."
"If I win the bet and marry Ye Ming, you have to come along! How about the two of us marrying Ye Ming together?"
These bold words turned Xia Ningning’s face a bright red.
She couldn’t help but remember that she also had a marriage arrangement with Ye Ming, although it had already been canceled, something she hadn’t yet told Xu Lele.
Could it be, Le Le had already guessed? Xia Ningning thought to herself.
Seeing Xia Ningning not responding, Xu Lele urged, "Are you scared?"
With a snort, Xia Ningning said, "Scared? As if. How could I possibly be afraid, especially with someone like him? It’s just not possible!"
"It’s a bet then, who’s afraid of whom?"
Having said that, Xia Ningning turned to leave.
But at that moment, Xu Lele launched a surprise attack, grabbing Xia Ningning’s nightgown and stripping it off her.
"You dared to attack me just now; now I shall punish you!"
Instantly, a screech sounded, followed by the playful commotion of the two girls once again filling the room.
...
Early the next morning, the front of the Garden Hotel was already swarming with people.
Countless luxury cars gathered there as business tycoons convened, all for a wedding.
Looking at the grand scene before him, Xu Daqiang’s face had already bloomed with joy.
"Our Ling really married the right person, thank goodness she didn’t marry someone like Ye Ming,
a bumpkin!"
Xu Daqiang, who had lived half his life, had never been treated like this, and naturally, he was extremely excited.
Zhang Xueping was naturally also brimming with happiness, endlessly praising and saying, "Wang Hai, you truly brought glory to the Xuu Family. We are so lucky indeed."
Wang Hai wore a satisfied smile, basking in all sorts of flattery, feeling on top of the world.
It was then that Zhang Xueping asked again, "By the way, didn’t you say yesterday that Miss Xu from the Xu Family
would also attend the wedding today?"
"When the time comes, you must speak on behalf of your little uncle, my good son-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Wang Hai’s face turned awkward.
The Xu Family from Yanjing were a major family with clout in both the underworld and the establishment. How could their tiny Qianyang Corporation possibly have a connection with them?
He deeply regretted the boast he had made and was also calculating in his mind how to gloss over the matter.
"Auntie, you just relax. Your little uncle’s matters are my matters," Wang Hai said with a forced smile.
Xu Daqiang and Zhang Xueping, the couple, repeatedly expressed their approval, unable to hide their excitement.
Xu Ling’s vanity was through the roof as she selfishly said, "If Miss Xu personally comes to send her blessings,
nobody in Hai City will dare to laugh at me again!"
"If I can get on good terms with Miss Xu, I might also become a rich heiress like her, and then what kind of man would I not be able to catch?"
Little did she know, she had spoken too loudly, and Wang Hai, who was nearby, heard every word and was cursing internally.
Realizing her faux pas, Xu Ling hastily changed the subject: "Young Master Wang, why don’t we go look for her now?
If Miss Xu came early, I could have a chat with her."
"Well... let’s go have a look, you never know!" Wang Hai stammered.
Xu Ling, immersed in her own happiness, didn’t notice anything amiss with Wang Hai as she continued, "By the way,
I could also speak with Miss Xu and, leveraging her connections, get my brother exonerated, and it would be best if he could also be spared any compensation."
Ye Ming woke up from his meditative rest.
After a night of rest, he was amazed to find he had touched the threshold of the Superior Yellow Rank.
Indeed, the two million hadn’t been spent in vain, and the three Qi Condensing Pills had truly taken effect.
But today he had even more important things to do, so he put the cultivation matter aside for the moment.
After freshening up a bit, he went straight downstairs.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Ming came downstairs, he saw Le Le’s car waiting there.
Through the car window, Le Le was smiling at him.
"Put this on. Today is a very important day, and you need a decent suit,"
Le Le said as he got into the car and handed Ye Ming a tailor-made suit.
Wearing a suit was a first for Ye Ming; after all, the occasions he usually attended never required one.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man just as a saddle makes the horse – Ye Ming, now in a suit, made Le Le’s eyes light up,
her pupils taking on the shape of hearts.
"I never thought that once you took off those earthy clothes,
you would actually look so handsome! I really didn’t misjudge you!"
After speaking, Le Le quietly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
