Chapter 1181: Trouble in the Backyard
While Gu Fan and Lu Yi were talking, Su Hui came over with good intentions to warn Gu Fan, "Watch out, your backyard might be on fire, and it’s going to be a big one."
"What do you mean?" Gu Fan hadn’t caught on yet when Su Hui pointed in the direction of Li Shi.
In an instant, Gu Fan understood. His heart sank. He didn’t need to look to know what was happening where Li Shi was; he could guess.
Lu Yi shook her head, "Miss Lin is indeed Miss Lin, steadfast in her goals, never changing. If you’re not careful and lose sight of her, she seizes the opportunity."
"With the situation as it is now, stop teasing me," Gu Fan said helplessly. Then he saw Lin Xi had already started talking to Li Shi and prayed silently in his heart, hoping things wouldn’t go south.
Of course, both women were well-mannered and polite. Lin Xi took the initiative to shake hands with Li Shi, displaying a friendly attitude, while Li Shi maintained a polite smile and reached out her hand as well.
"You must be Li Shi, right? Our Gu Fan often mentions you, saying how nice and successful you are, and that’s why he went into business with you," Lin Xi began with a stream of compliments, making it seem as though she really admired Li Shi.
Li Shi humbly accepted the praise, "Not at all, not at all. Actually, it’s mainly because Gu Fan himself is capable that I decided to start a company with him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to make a losing investment."
Lin Xi didn’t mince words in belittling Gu Fan, "Him? He’s just a lazy pig, what capabilities does he have? If it weren’t for you, an old classmate, begrudgingly helping out of past considerations, he wouldn’t have the chance to own his company." While speaking, she gave Li Shi a meaningful look.
