Chapter 7 How Far Can You Go, You Vixen!
The Mercedes came to a halt, and the window rolled down.
Liu Hui cleared her throat, trying to make her voice more alluring. She then coyly asked, "Brother, could you give us a lift? We need to get to Lishui Jingyuan up ahead, and we can't wait for a ride."
She intentionally adjusted her clothes, lowering the neckline to reveal a hint of cleavage.
"Liu Hui!"
The window rolled up, and Lu Yi's face appeared. His expression was somewhat cold. He had just spoken to Li Shu about Liu Hui, and now she was presenting herself in this manner.
Outside the car, Liu Hui hesitated for a moment, quickly straightened up, and pulled her clothes back into place.
"Lu Yi, what a surprise to see you here."
Lu Yi sneered, "Haha, why wouldn't it be me? Am I not capable of driving a Mercedes?"
"Could you give us a ride..." Liu Hui hesitated.
"Go as far as you can, you vixen!"
With a determined look on his face, Lu Yi closed the window, and Li Shu started the car.
"A woman who resorts to seduction won't attract a decent man in the future," Lu Yi remarked.
Li Shu chuckled, "That's the brother I know. We can have any woman we desire from now on!"
The car drove away, leaving Liu Hui and Wang Qian staring at each other.
"He used to be one of my followers, always frugal. How did he suddenly start driving a Mercedes?"
"Since you used to follow him, go after him now! Isn't he a ready-made wealthy man?" Wang Qian suggested.
Liu Hui suddenly realized, "You're right, Qian'er, you've reminded me. I'll go out with him! He's been pursuing me for three years, so I believe he still has feelings for me."
"If he's your type, then the driver is mine," Wang Qian declared.
Although Wang Qian only caught a glimpse of the driver through the car window, she noticed Li Shu's handsome face. What caught her attention even more was the fact that he was driving a Mercedes-Benz.
Even though the two women didn't get into the Mercedes-Benz, they had a plan in mind as they headed towards the bus parked at the station together.
Li Shu and Lu Yi arrived back at their place.
Surveying the peeling roof and the rundown makeshift house, the two shook their heads.
"With this shabby place, we've been living here for three years at seven hundred dollars a month. Are we out of our minds?" Li Shu sighed.
"The cost of living in the city is like this. Clearly, our financial situation doesn't allow us to keep living in such conditions. Let's go buy a villa tomorrow!" Lu Yi suggested.
"Stop it! I can't afford to splurge like that; I'd be broke in three days. A villa is out of the question!" Li Shu replied.
"So, are we staying here then?" Lu Yi looked disappointed.
"We don't have to stay here. Let's get a well-furnished apartment of around a hundred square meters and hire a cleaning service. We're both in managerial positions in the city; can't we present ourselves better?" Li Shu proposed.
"Alright, a regular apartment. It's a compromise, but it'll do for now!" Lu Yi agreed.
After Lu Yi spoke, they both burst into laughter. A hundred-square-meter nicely decorated apartment was once just a dream, but now it was enough to satisfy them.
Lu Yi's phone chimed with a notification of money received. He checked it, then looked at Li Shu with slightly teary eyes.
"Li Shu, why are you giving me so much money?"
"Take some time to get yourself a car; don't always rely on me. My future sister-in-law will be sitting next to me in the passenger seat! And don't be modest; the bond between us brothers is priceless."
"Alright!" Lu Yi's voice choked up a bit. With such a brother, this lifetime was enough.
"Don't act like a woman, go to sleep! This is our last night in this place, tomorrow we will bid farewell for good."
The two of them lay in bed, drifting off to sleep in sweet dreams.
The next day was a sunny and beautiful day.
The senior management of Huamei Company had a day off.
Because it was the day of the grand wedding of Shen Tianlin, the son of the general manager Shen Qihao.
Li Shu was part of the senior management and had the day off. Lu Yi was in the middle management and still had to work.
"Sigh, born to a life of hardship!" Lu Yi sighed as he packed up.
"Stop it. Don't you understand the purpose of Shen Qihao taking a day off? It's obvious that he wants us to contribute money for the wedding."
This was quite clear. Those who had the day off couldn't find a reason to miss the wedding. Once they were at the wedding, they had to give some money, or it would be impossible.
The leading lady of this wedding had once been his dream goddess, and he had fantasized many times about being the groom at the wedding.
Although now seeing through Wang Hongyu's true colors, the heart is no longer so persistent, but there is still a faint bitterness.
"Let everything become the past! The weak and incompetent Li Shu of the past has already died from today. Now, it is a brand new Li Shu!"
The Tianzhu Hotel is the most upscale hotel in Huacheng. Shen Tianlin and Wang Hongyu's wedding is held here.
The banquet hall, which can accommodate more than three thousand people, is already full of reserved seats.
The wedding of Young Master Shen Qihao in Huacheng is very prestigious. The names on various labels are not unknown.
To receive an invitation from Shen Qihao to attend this wedding and to sit in this hall is already a symbol of prestige and strength.
Among the various seating arrangements, the lowest prestige is the three seats in the southeast corner of the hall. The label in the center of the seats reads: "Classmates."
Shen Tianlin and Wang Hongyu's classmates, regardless of their status, are invited to sit here.
All the people who should come from Class 92 have arrived.
The former class monitor, Zhang Tianyu, was very attentive and noticed something unusual.
"Why isn't there a label for Li Shu?"
He looked through the three seats, and everyone else's labels were there, except for Li Shu's.
"Surely Young Master Shen finds him unsightly, losing face, and didn't invite him!"
"That day when we gathered, didn't Wang Hongyu say that Li Shu couldn't afford the gift money?"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as Li Shu was mentioned, everyone had a topic to discuss. It was a joyful thing to belittle a former top student.
Only Zhang Tianyu shook his head, "Tian Lin is still too much. Anyway, we classmates still have our friendship."
"At that gathering, everyone publicly kicked out Li Shu, what friendship is there."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Do you think Li Shu would come uninvited? After all, Wang Hongyu used to be his goddess," someone asked.
"If he comes, it will be quite a show. If he can't even come up with the gift money, it will be embarrassing. By then, I definitely won't acknowledge him as my classmate, what about you guys?" someone said.
"I won't acknowledge him either! If our Class 92 has such a useless person, our reputation will be ruined."
Everyone laughed together.
In the second row of seats in the hall, the sign on the table read: "Company".
The seats for the senior executives of Huamei Company were all here.
