Chapter 101: Dumbstruck
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hu Li and Li Zhen arrived at the entrance of the Supreme Private Room, and four beautiful girls stopped them.
They were the four who had brought food to their room just now. It was obviously the right place.
“We’re going in to make a toast.” Hu Li’s face was full of smiles.
“How may I address you?” asked a girl in a traditional outfit.
“My name is Hu Li! His name is Li Zhen.” Hu Li said her name, and she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. There must be big shots there. As a girl who hadn’t even gone to university, she really hadn’t experienced such a scene.
“All right. Wait a moment.” The girl pushed the door open and entered the private room.
“Sir, Madam, Ms. Hu Li and Mr. Li Zhen would like to come in and propose a toast.”
“Let them in.”
“Eh?” Li Zhen and Hu Li looked at each other. Why did the voice sound so familiar? It sounded like Ning Xiaoyu’s voice.
However, the two of them instantly dismissed that thought. How could that poor girl Ning Xiaoyu be in there?
The door opened, and the beautiful woman in the traditional outfit walked out. She smiled and said, “Please come in!”
Li Zhen and Hu Li first gathered their emotions, making the smiles on their faces appear even more brilliant. Then, they walked in with trepidation.
However, as soon as they reached the door, the two of them were instantly petrified.
There were only two people in the room, and those two people were Ning Xiaoyu and her male friend.
“Why are you here? This is impossible!” Hu Li suddenly screamed. It was like the most unbelievable thing in the world. She would rather see anyone else than Ning Xiaoyu.
Ning Xiaoyu was shocked by their reactions and was tongue-tied. A big hand held her small hand, and Ning Xiaoyu turned to see Ye Xiaofei’s encouraging gaze. Her heart immediately calmed down. Ning Xiaoyu first gave Ye Xiaofei a smile, then turned to Hu Li and said, “Hu Li, you don’t have to be so polite. I’m just adding a few more dishes for you.”
That was what Hu Li had said to Ning Xiaoyu before they entered the shop.
Although Ning Xiaoyu didn’t use the same mocking tone as Hu Li did, those words were extremely ear-piercing when they reached Hu Li’s ears.
“Impossible! Ning Xiaoyu, why would you come here to eat?” Hu Li shook her head vigorously.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here either.” Ning Xiaoyu smiled.
Hu Li suddenly turned her head and shouted at Li Bing, who was walking over, “President Li, the two of them are here to dine and dash!”
Li Bing’s face sank. “Don’t spout nonsense here. These two are our esteemed guests.”
“Esteemed guests? Impossible! You must be mistaken. She’s just a poor girl. How can she have the means to come here to eat? Hurry up and chase them out!” Hu Li was exasperated. She hated Ning Xiaoyu because of her beauty, good personality, and good grades.
Hu Li could only win Ning Xiaoyu in terms of money, or at least that was what she thought. Now, even that had fallen through.
“Hu Li.” Li Bing’s expression turned even uglier. “Don’t think that your father’s reputation can allow you to shout around. You’re disrespecting our esteemed guests.”
When Li Bing got angry, Hu Li immediately became listless. She stuttered, “President Li, this… is impossible.”
Li Bing said coldly, “Let me remind you. Mr. Ye and Ms. Ning are distinguished guests of the Li Family. They have done a great favor to the Li Family. Whoever dares to offend them is also offending the Li Family. You’d better look out for yourself.”
Seeing that Hu Li was still unwilling to give up, Li Zhen hurriedly pulled Hu Li out. “I’m sorry. Let’s go, let’s go!”
When they returned to their private room, a few students asked excitedly, “Hu Li, what kind of big shot is there? Quickly tell us and let us broaden our horizons.”
Hu Li sat down on the chair and remained silent, her face ashen.
Everyone felt that something was wrong and looked at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “The ones in that private room are Ning Xiaoyu and her male friend.”
“No way!”
The few of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and did not explain further.
“I know!” Hu Li suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted excitedly, “It’s that man. That man must be the scion of some prominent family. Hmph, she must be his sugar baby.”
Li Zhen hurriedly said, “Lower your voice. How do you know they’re not a normal couple?”
Hu Li gritted her teeth and said, “Hmph, with her family’s conditions, which scion from a prominent family would date her normally? She must be his sugar baby. What’s the big deal about that? She can’t marry into a rich family anyway. When he’s done playing with her, he’ll dump her.”
“No matter what, she has someone protecting her now. You must not offend her again.” Li Zhen smiled bitterly.
“Why should I be afraid of her? I… I…” Hu Li uttered, but she couldn’t continue.
Whether Ning Xiaoyu was Ye Xiaofei’s sugar baby or real girlfriend, Hu Li could not afford to offend her.
In the Supreme Private Room, Ye Xiaofei smiled at Ning Xiaoyu and said, “Do you feel good?”
“It’s indeed quite satisfying.” Ning Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly. It would be strange if she didn’t feel resentful after being bullied by Hu Li all this time. However, because she couldn’t afford to offend Hu Li, she could only endure it.
“However… We’re classmates at the end of the day. I think I’ve gone overboard by treating her like this.”
“Overboard? How did she treat you? If it were me, I wouldn’t let her have it so easy. You… If anyone bullies you in the future, don’t be polite to them. With me backing you up, you won’t have to worry about the consequences.”
Ye Xiaofei couldn’t help but shake his head. On Villain Island, he had a deep understanding of the principle that a kind person would be bullied by others. If one didn’t want to be bullied, one had to be strong enough to beat those who wanted to bully them into submission.
“Got it. Brother Xiaofei, you’re so nice to me.” Ning Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.
“Silly girl,” Ye Xiaofei said. “If it weren’t for you and Auntie who took me in when I was going through my most difficult times, I wouldn’t even have a place to live. I’ll never be able to repay this favor in my entire life.”
“Oh, you’re good to me because of that.” Ning Xiaoyu looked a little disappointed.
Ye Xiaofei didn’t notice and smiled. “That’s right. Come, let’s continue eating. We’ll bring some delicious food for Auntie to nourish her body later.”
“Yes, yes!” Ning Xiaoyu quickly agreed. While eating, she stole a glance at Ye Xiaofei.
The little girl’s heart was completely captured by Ye Xiaofei..
