Chapter 176: I’ll Be There Anytime
Master Nanshan’s tone was displeased. “I’ve always taught you to be down-to-earth. Instead of wasting your time thinking about meaningless things, you might as well design a few more works like Little Xu.”
“Yes, Master. I’ll take note,” Zhou Lin replied unwillingly. However, in a place where Master Nanshan could not see, she glared fiercely at Xu Wanwan.
What trick did this little bitch use on Master to make Master compare her with her?
She was just a country bumpkin from the countryside. What qualifications does she have to be compared with her?
After Master Nanshan left, the more Zhou Lin thought about it, the more displeased she became. She walked up and snatched Xu Wanwan’s design from Master Nanshan and took a few glances at it.
Just one glance and she could not help but clench her fingers. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could a country bumpkin have such aesthetic and creative abilities?
The level of these drawings did not seem like something a newcomer could have!
What was wrong with Master? He actually thought that this was designed by a newcomer like Xu Wanwan?
Xu Wanwan really did not expect Zhou Lin to directly snatch her things. Her tone was slightly impatient. “Give me back the design drawings.”
Zhou Lin snorted coldly and threw the design on the ground.
“Go and pick it up if you want it.”
Her tone was especially arrogant.
Xu Wanwan clenched her fists. “Do you have a problem with your hands?”
She had clearly not provoked Zhou Lin just now, so she naturally would not look at her.
“Stealing someone else’s design and you still have the cheek to show it to Master? Do you have any shame?”
Zhou Lin’s eyes were full of disdain. “Aren’t you afraid of making a fool of yourself in public and being chased out by Master when the design competition comes?”
“In my opinion, a person like you should stay at home obediently and not embarrass Li Jingran.”
“Don’t you think these words are more suitable for you?” Xu Wanwan was not angry. She smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. There was a hint of coldness in the depths of her eyes.
Zhou Lin was irritated by her calm demeanor. She bit her red lips and said, “Xu Wanwan, just you wait!”
“Sooner or later, I will personally chase you out. I believe that day will not be too far away.”
Xu Wanwan smiled and said, “Then I will accompany you at any time.”
After saying that, she picked up the design on the ground and left without looking back.
The dog had bitten her once. It was impossible for her to bite back again.
Similarly, it was useless to reason with people like Zhou Lin.
If she had such thoughts, she might as well spend her time on serious matters.
Zhou Lin stared coldly at Xu Wan as she left. Her fingertips dug into her flesh, and traces of blood seeped out.
“What, are you angered by that bitch again?”
Xu Yue suddenly walked up to her and laughed mockingly. “I thought you were very powerful and could keep hold of Xu Wanwan tightly.”
Zhou Lin suddenly glared at her. “What do you mean?”
“I still have the support of the Zhou Corporation, but what do you have? All I want is Li Jingran. Xu Wanwan’s existence poses no threat to me.”
What right did she have to laugh at her?
She was tired of living.
Xu Yue laughed even more disdainfully. “There’s really no threat. Don’t be so angry now.”
“Don’t worry, we’re on the same side. I’m here to help you this time.”
Zhou Lin narrowed her eyes. “How are you going to help me?”
“Xu Wanwan and Li Jingran have a falling out. You can go to the Li family to look for Li Jingran tonight. I’ve already told you the opportunity. Whether you can grasp it or not is up to you.”
After Xu Yue said that, she couldn’t help but be secretly happy.
She was really smart back then. After she had planted a bug on Xu Wanwan, she would always be the first to know about matters related to the Li family.
Because of this, she had also helped the Xu family obtain a few good collaborations. She could be considered to have used the Li Corporation’s influence to grab the limelight.
Zhou Lin looked at her deeply. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Of course.”
Xu Yue raised her chin. “Let me tell you this. Someone is helping me keep an eye on Li Jingran and Xu Wanwan. Once they have news, I’ll be the first to know.”
“Now that we’re together, I’ll tell you everything I know in the future.”
“You can’t be helping me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want?” Zhou Lin crossed her arms. She was too lazy to beat around the bush with her.
Xu Yue said, “The Xu Corporation has a new development project and is short of funds. I need your investment.”
Zhou Lin asked, “How much money do you want?”
Xu Yue said, “30 million.”
Zhou Lin chuckled. “Do you have the contract with you?”
Was there a need to look for investors for such a small amount of money?
Xu Yue’s eyes lit up as she quickly took out the contract from her bag and handed it over.
Zhou Lin signed the contract without hesitation and threw it to her in a good mood. “Remember our agreement.”
Xu Yue looked at the signed name on the contract as if she saw a large sum of money. She curled her lips. “Don’t worry, I hate Xu Wanwan more than you do.”
After the two of them left the art gallery, Xu Yue got into the Xu family’s car while Zhou Lin drove straight to the Li family’s house.
In the Xu family’s car, Xu Zhongyi looked at the contract that he had just signed and said in surprise, “You managed to get it in such a short period of time?”
Xu Yue snorted lightly. “What else could it be?”
“I knew Yue’er would be promising!” Sun Yuelan was grinning from ear to ear as she hugged Xu Yue. “This is great. Our Xu family’s business is going to be bigger and stronger soon.”
Xu Yue really liked the feeling of being praised to the skies. Her position in the Xu family was gradually becoming stronger. Of course, she did not need to listen to her parents.
After all, she was the one who had negotiated for half of the Xu family’s cooperation.
“Oh right, let me tell you a piece of news. Xu Wanwan has been chased out by the Li family. She doesn’t even have a place to stay now.”
At the mention of Xu Wanwan, Sun Yuelan’s face darkened as she scolded, “An ingrate like her deserves to be chased out! When the Xu family was in trouble before, we asked her to help, but she refused no matter what. Now that the Xu family is about to rise, we will definitely not let her come back.”
Xu Zhongyi’s attitude was the same. “I haven’t treated her as a member of the Xu family for a long time. It’s up to you whether you come back or not!”
“That’s right. Yue’er is enough for us. Yue’er is so outstanding. Our Xu family will only get better and better in the future.”
Xu Yue was very happy when she heard these words. The corners of her lips curled up proudly.
Hmph. She had finally waited for the day when Xu Wanwan was chased out by the Li family. Let’s see how she can be arrogant in the future without the support of Li Jingran.
Xu Wanwan left the art gallery and wanted to take a taxi back, but when she stood by the roadside and waited for a taxi, she glanced sideways and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Just in front of her, Li Xuyi was leisurely leaning against the white sedan and waving at her.
Xu Wanwan pursed her thin lips. She didn’t expect to see him here.
She walked forward quickly and panted slightly. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to pick you up.”
Li Xuyi leaned to the side and opened the car door. “Is there anywhere you want to go? Do you want me to take you for a walk?”
