Chapter 1129: The Play is Really Good
Lin Xi’s expression turned sour immediately as she looked at Gu Fan with a questioning gaze, her phoenix eyes carried an air of authority, along with a hint of a murderous look, as if to warn Gu Fan that if he did not explain himself clearly, he wouldn’t make it through the night.
Gu Fan’s heart trembled. The usually calm and collected him suddenly lost his composure, unsure of how to deal with the situation.
Su Hui, sensing Lin Xi’s anger, quickly stepped back to avoid being affected by Lin Xi’s potential outburst.
Li Shi looked at Su Hui, then at Lin Xi, and then turned back to Gu Fan. Her eyes filled with confusion, wondering who these two beauties were.
Soon, Li Shi noticed Lin Xi’s hostile gaze. Woman’s intuition told her that this must no doubt be Gu Fan’s girlfriend.
The atmosphere became tense. Gu Fan quickly changed the topic, "You’re back. Let me introduce you, this is my high school friend Li Shi. She did me a huge favor this time, but also got into trouble because of it. Now, Helen is here on behalf of Haywes to offer compensation." Having said that, Gu Fan glanced over at Helen and Gu Ling hiding behind the door, both appearing reluctant to get involved.
"Please," Gu Fan pleaded with his eyes, but Helen remained indifferent, even whistling, exuding an air of having nothing to do with the matter.
Lin Xi did not react but scrutinized Li Shi and Gu Fan with narrowed eyes, as if trying to discern something.
Feeling the atmosphere growing more uncomfortable, Su Hui tried to lighten the mood. "Ah, Gu Ling and Helen are here too. It’s rare to have everyone together. If we’d known, we would have invited you to go shopping with us."
