Chapter 921: Cheesy Love Words
Shen Hanxing really wanted to know what Zhuang Li, the so-called male lead, could achieve without the cannon fodder Ji Yan dying prematurely and giving Zhuang Li a chance to shine, and without Wei Xi’er, the infatuated supporting female character, being a stepping stone for him.
"I still have other guests to attend to, please excuse me," Shen Hanxing said gracefully, then turned to exchange a glance with Wei Xi’er before leaving, not even sparing a glance for Zhuang Li!
This performance undoubtedly once again stung Zhuang Li’s arrogant self-esteem! He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Why do you look so gloomy, Zhuang Li?" Wei Xi’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she looked at Zhuang Li with concern and said softly, "Mrs. Ji is just like that. Don’t be angry with her, okay?"
"How can I be angry with her?!" Zhuang Li suddenly waved his hand fiercely and gritted his teeth, "She is the esteemed Mrs. Ji, and I’m just a young master of the Zhuang family. How can I have the right to be angry with her? In your eyes, am I just a piece of useless trash?"
Indeed, if he weren’t a piece of trash, how could he not strive for the power he wanted but instead schemed and groveled before her? Wei Xi’er smiled to herself. What did Zhuang Li think he was? Did he think he was Goujian, the king of Yue, who slept on firewood and tasted gall? He wanted to gain benefits from her using his charm, to live off her, and yet he was not content with just living off her and still wanted to put on an arrogant posture. Wasn’t this the legendary saying "wearing the hat of both a slut and a virtuous woman"?
Wei Xi’er felt a clarity in her mind that she had never experienced before. She covered up the coldness in her eyes, lowered her head gently as if she were a bit hurt, and said, "Zhuang Li, how can you think of me like that? I’ve never thought of you that way... Whether you can inherit the Zhuang Group or not, I love you." Her eyes reddened slightly, and she said with a hint of grievance, "Being with you, it has never been because of your status. Moreover, even if you can’t inherit the family business, so what? I can leave the Wei Corporation and start my own entertainment company and thrive. You’re so outstanding, you can definitely do it too!"
