Chapter 329 Accompany Me to Have a Drink

In fact, her father didn't want her to know that he was sick, fearing it would affect her work. She finally knew it when her mother couldn't hide the fact that his father was seriously ill anymore and called her to go home.

Li Feiran came to help but was pushed out by Fang Feifei and others.

She just moved in, and there were still a lot of cleanings to do. So, she started to do the cleaning as everyone was putting everything in order.

After she finished the cleaning, she washed her hands and watered the flowers on the balcony. Then she stood on the side and watched them quietly. The rose and begonia in the corner were in full bloom, and they became even more gorgeous with the afterglow of the sunset, which added a bit of color. A gust of wind was blowing, and a faint floral fragrance traveled into Li Feiran's nose tip.

She turned her head and looked inside the house. From there, she could see the position of the kitchen. She saw that Xia Yu was busy and could hear the faint sound of a knife chopping on the cutting board.

She remembered that when Xia Yu just started work in the company, Xia Yu was the person who Li Feiran disliked most. Li Feiran thought she would have definitely become the chief secretary if Xia Yu had not come. But now, she discovered that Xia Yu was a really good secretary.

After the meal, everyone rushed to wash the dishes and clean up the table. Xia Yu also wanted to help, but everyone said that Xia Yu did the laborious cooking and asked her to rest aside.

Li Feiran pulled Xia Yu into her room and handed a ring to her. Then she said, "This ring was originally intended for the marriage with that scum. I didn't expect him to be so bad. Just forget it. And I don't want to talk about it anymore. Now, this ring is useless to me. Xia Yu, can you ask someone to sell it for me?"

"This ring is so beautiful. Are you really willing to sell it?" Xia Yu looked at the ring and could know how devoted Li Feiran was to Wang Yu before. Unfortunately, it was hard to tell what was going on in the mind of others. It was impossible to judge one's heart from his face.

"Now I am alone, so what's the use of keeping this ring? And I am planning to buy a house." Li Feiran looked at the ring in Xia Yu's hands and said, "The rent here is too expensive. If I have the money to pay the rent, I'd be better off to get a mortgage and buy a nest. But I don't have much spare money now. I'll get more money when I sell this ring."

Her parents came over because of her appendectomy surgery this time. She saw more white hair on their heads and felt quite emotional. She should be able to pay for the down payment with part of the demolition compensation in her hometown and the money she had saved before.

Xia Yu said with emotion, "The houses in S city are not built with bricks. They are raised by cash." Xia Yu took over the ring and said, "I will try to sell it at a good price."

"My success in putting together a down payment depends on you." Li Feiran joked to say.

"What you are saying puts a lot of pressure on me." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Just kidding. I'll take however much you sell it for. I don't want to see this ring and think of that scum anymore." After joking, Li Feiran smiled and said to Xia Yu.

"Don't worry. I will try to get a good price."

When the two people came out of Li Feiran's room, everyone just finished cleaning up. It was already late, and everyone was about to leave. After Xia Yu sent the two colleagues who carpooled with her home, she drove back home.

Liu Sijie happened to arrive home now. Xia Yu thought of Li Feiran’s ring and took it out. Then she handed it to Liu Sijie. "Brother Jie, help me sell this. I need some money."

"This is a good ring. Young Master Yan bought it for you?" Liu Sijie knew what was what and could tell the quality upon having a look at it.

…

Liu Sijie looked at Xia Yu. If Shen Yan really bought this ring for Xia Yu and he was going to sell it for Xia Yu, Shen Yan probably would skin her.

"It belongs to a friend of mine. She wants to buy a house, so she is anxious to sell it." Xia Yu said with a smile. But at the same time, she was whispering in her heart. Why was he looking at her like that? She had been with Shen Yan for a short time. How could Shen Yan buy a ring for her? Liu Sijie’s imagination was too rich.

There would be no problem if Shen Yan didn't buy it for her. Liu Sijie took the ring. "OK, I will help you."

The next afternoon, Liu Sijie came over. He was very efficient and handed over a check to Xia Yu. Looking at the number on it, Xia Yu was shocked. It should be four hundred thousand yuan. Wow! How much Li Feiran liked Wang Yu! She even bought such an expensive ring.

Of course, Xia Yu just guessed that the ring was bought by Li Feiran. Thinking of Wang Yu, a toy boy like him made a living by cheating out of money. How could he be willing to buy such an expensive ring for Li Feiran?

It seemed to be correct indeed that love was blind. A savvy person like Li Feiran still suffered from this kind of loss. If Xia Yu hadn't seen this with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Li Feiran would do such a stupid thing.

"Thank you. I will treat you some other day!" Xia Yu said and smiled, holding the check

"You don't need to be so courteous with me. I've got something to do. I'll leave now!" Liu Sijie handed the check to Xia Yu and then left.

This was four hundred thousand yuan. It was not safe for Xia Yu to keep the check with her, so she rushed off to send it to Li Feiran.

Li Feiran looked at the number on the check and gave out a scream. "Xia Yu, did you ask Young Master Yan to help you?" According to Li Feiran's estimate, it would be great if the ring could be sold at half of the original price. This price really surprised Li Feiran.

"I let Liu Sijie sell it for me. You should thank him if you want." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"I really need to thank him." Li Feiran was really content with the fact that this ring could be sold at this price.

Xia Yu chatted with her for a little while and then got ready to go back to the secretariat. When she passed the corridor, she heard that Fang Feifei was talking to someone on the phone impatiently.

"I'll go over later. But Mom, don't arrange this sort of dinner party in the future. OK, I'm going to hang up now."

After hanging up, she came out. "Xia Yu, what can I do for you?"

"I just went to look for Li Feiran." Xia Yu smiled and asked, "Were you just on the phone with your mom?"

"Yeah, she always let me accompany her to see her friends from morning till night. I don't know where she got so many friends. She used to let my brother accompany her. But recently, my brother got into a relationship with a new girlfriend. My mom couldn't grab him anymore, so she's grabbing me now."

"Then you should get a boyfriend as well. When your mother asks you to see her friends again, you just tell her that you're meeting your boyfriend. She will feel ashamed then." Xia Yu told her a trick.

"It is easy for you to say this. Huh, a boyfriend. It's hard to find one, isn't it?" Fang Feifei shook her head aside.

"A fair one should be good enough. Don't ask too much of him." Xia Yu said.

"I will thank god if others don't ask too much of me. How can I ask too much of others?" Fang Feifei said with a smile, "But my brother's girlfriend is really pretty. I just took a photo in secret. I will send it to you by WeChat."

Xia Yu was about to say that she didn't know them, but Fang Feifei had already sent the photo to her. She opened the message and had a look at the photo. The photo was taken from afar, but it was quite clear. The smiling man on the photo must be Fang Feifei's brother, and his smile was warm and gentle. A young woman was sitting on the opposite side, and she had fine facial features with short hair to her ears, which made people feel that she was quite intellectual.

"Xia Yu, do you think this young lady is a good match for my brother?" Fang Feifei asked Xia Yu.

Xia Yu wanted to laugh and weep all at once. How could she comment on the love of others? "As long as your brother likes her, it will be fine."

"Yeah, that's true." The two people separated at an intersection while speaking. Fang Feifei went back to the Planning Department, and Xia Yu returned to her office.

When Xia Yu was about to get off work, there was a knock on the door. It was followed by Fang Feifei's voice of calling her name. Xia Yu immediately went over and opened the door.

Fang Feifei, who looked a little pale, was standing outside the door. She was very different from what she looked like a few hours ago.

"Fang Feifei, what's wrong?" Xia Yu asked in a gentle tone.

Fang Feifei scratched her hair and walked in. Then she said, "A war broke out at home. I did not dare to go back."

Xia Yu was so surprised when she heard the words that a war broke out at home. It really scared her.

"My brother quarreled with his girlfriend who had been dating him for two months. My mother happened to run into the line of fire when the two people were quarreling at home. They called me to be the judge, and I didn't want to do this kind of arduous and thankless task. Otherwise, I would become the cannon fodder. Anyways, I didn't want to deal with it as well. So I came to you to seek a peace of mind."

When Fang Feifei was talking about this, she was so angry that her little mouth puckered up. Xia Yu gave her a cup of chrysanthemum tea with the intention to ease her anger.

Xia Yu couldn't say much about Fang Feifei's family affairs. "So, where are we hanging out tonight?"

"I'm not in a good mood today. You just accompany me to get a drink, OK?"

"You know that I can't drink much." Of course, this was just an excuse. Xia Yu was quite busy recently, and she didn't want to get into any trouble caused by excessive drinking.

"Can you just keep me company, OK? My besties are all hiberdating their boyfriends, and no one wants to accompany me. You can't dump me."

Looking at her eyes which were full of hopeful anticipation, she nodded as she remembered that Shen Yan was going to have dinner at the old house tonight.

Xia Yu became quite excited in her mind as she hadn't been to a bar for a long time. She just didn't expect that the place where Fang Feifei, who usually appeared to be quite gentle, was going to drink was a nightclub. Xia Yu was a little baffled.

Xia Yu pulled Fang Feifei when arriving at the door. She said worriedly, "We are two girls. It's not very safe."

"Xia Yu, have you never been to this kind of place before?" Fang Feifei looked at Xia Yu with a look of fuss. "It seems that Young Master Yan's family rules are quite strict."

"Damn it ! It has nothing to do with him." Xia Yu smiled.

"In this case, you have nothing to worry about. Just consider it as a new experience to broaden your horizon. Don't worry about safety. This club is owned by the older brother of one of my besties. It'll be alright."

Saying this, she dragged Xia Yu into the nightclub. Xia Yu's heart started to beat with the rhythm as the deafening sound made her ears and heart unbearable. Xia Yu came to a nightclub for the first time, so she couldn't fit in at all.

Fang Feifei took Xia Yu to the bar and sat down. Obviously, she was very familiar with the routine and directly called the bartender by name. "Xiaojie, give me a cup of Angel's Kiss and another cup of room temperature water."

"OK!" The bartender immediately started bartending, which was dazzling. The final product was very beautiful, and there was a layer of white whipped cream with the decoration of a red cherry on the top.

Fang Feifei reached out and pulled the red cherry out. The vortex on the fresh cream suddenly opened and closed like lips. Xia Yu found it so interesting and cute that she herself itched for one cup of it.

However, she immediately suppressed this thought and took up the cup in front of her before drinking that tasteless water.

After drinking the cocktail, Fang Feifei asked for another two bottles of beer. Xia Yu saw that the percentage of alcohol wasn't high and that Fang Feifei was in a bad mood, so she didn't advise Fang Feifei not to drink.

"Xia Yu, let's go dancing!"

After finishing a bottle of beer, Fang Feifei dragged Xia Yu into the dance floor.

"Fang Feifei, I rarely dance this kind of dance, so I am not familiar with it." Standing on the dance floor, Xia Yu said quite awkwardly.

"Since you're here, don't be so coy."

Fang Feifei shouted out enthusiastically, and she used her hands to pinch on Xia Yu' waist and bottom. She finally pulled Xia Yu’s hands over her head and swinging them. Xia Yu was gradually led into the state by the passionate music and the enthusiastic people around her who were immersed in dancing.

After she danced for a few minutes, her entire body began to sweat since she hadn’t moved like this for a long time. Besides, the back of Xia Yu's waist was always rubbed by others, and it was unknown whether it was done carelessly or deliberately. Xia Yu didn't have the mood to keep jumping anymore and wanted to go down for a rest. But Fang Feifei in the front was still enjoying herself.

"I will go down to rest first." Xia Yu spoke by howling since the music here was too loud. She was afraid that Fang Feifei couldn't hear her.

Fang Feifei nodded fiercely at Xia Yu twice and continued to dance on her own.

After coming out of the dance floor, Xia Yu returned to the previous seat and asked the bartender for another glass of water. "Add some ice. Thank you."

Her comfortable body trembled at the moment when the icy water entered her throat. She sank more than half a cup of water without taking a break.

"Hello, can we get to know each other?" A magnetic yet hoarse voice rang up.
