Chapter 59 - Talking To The Wall

If she were to join the entertainment industry, she would easily become a big hit with those beautiful looks of hers.

Fang Zhili quickly looked away.

Li Haoran and Mu Che were both smiling and unsure of what to say.

Wu Meiya smiled and said, “Ah, Donglin is just a little prideful. Since it’s just a misunderstanding, everything will be fine after you explain it to him, Niannian.”

Li Beinian snapped back to reality only after hearing her name.

She looked up to see that Wu Meiya was smiling.

What!?!

Isn’t that too quick of a change in attitude!?!

“Forget it, he might not take it to heart either. Donglin has been busy with work lately, let him do his work,” Mu Che said with a grin. He continued, “I heard that Niannian has been attending tuition classes lately. Are you planning to sit for the university entrance exam?

Li Beinian answered with a smile, “Yes.”

She was secretly cursing in her head.

Without a doubt, Li Haoran must be the one who spread the news.

He probably wishes that everyone will find out that I’m working hard and studying to make myself worthy of marrying Mu Donglin.

Pleased to hear that, Mu Che said, “Studying might be stressful but don’t force yourself. Just do your best.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

They then caught up with each other politely before calling it a day.

Before leaving, Wu Meiya handed the silk banner to Li Haoran and said, “The policemen only knew Donglin so they sent this to us. You may bring it home.”

Li Haoran felt extremely awkward upon sight of the silk banner.

He smiled, bade them goodbye and went inside his own car.

The driver had been waiting for them for a long time. He alighted to open the door when he saw them exiting.

As soon as they got inside the car, Li Haoran berated, “You’re so rude. Why did you have to act all arrogant and haughty when Mu Donglin helped you to the dishes? Since he lowered his pride to pick up some food for you, you ought to eat them. By embarrassing him, you’ll be the one at the losing end.”

Li Beinian found it absolutely ridiculous.

I don’t know if I’ll be at a loss but if the engagement is broken, Dawn Entertainment will definitely be at a disadvantage.

However, Li Beinian was too lazy to expose him.

She leaned back against the seat and said calmly, “Got it.”

Li Haoran knew that he could not persuade her too. He Began to feel guilty again while holding the silk banner.

I did not trust her and ended up letting an outsider prove her innocence.

I have failed as a father.

The thought of it made Li Haoran sigh softly. He tried to persuade her, “The Mu Family now knows that you’re planning to sit for the exam. You’d better study hard and aim to pass with flying colors. You’d be doing yourself proud too.”

“Okay,” Li Beinian said while leaning against the seat and stifling a yawn.

“Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if Xueqing was the one who came here today instead of you. Xueqing is obedient, sensible and understanding. You should really learn from your sister.”

However, he did not get any response at all.

He turned around, only to discover that Li Beinian had fallen asleep.

Li Haoran suddenly felt like he had been talking to a brick wall.

He sighed and leaned against the seat before closing his eyes to rest.

As soon as they returned home, Li Xueqing stepped forth to welcome them.

Her eyes lit up upon sight of Fang Zhili and she stepped forth to ask softly, “Mother, how did it go? Has the engagement been broken off?”

She thought, she got arrested for stealing and had to get Mu Donglin to bail her out. It’s so awkward. Even the Li Family would feel embarrassed, let alone the Mu Family.

Li Xueqing felt that it was a sure bet that the Mu Family would cancel the engagement.
