Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 484 - 484 479 Each Has Their Own Thoughts

Chapter 484: Chapter 479: Each Has Their Own Thoughts Chapter 484: Chapter 479: Each Has Their Own Thoughts “It’s Wang Fan, what’s wrong with you, don’t even remember him? Just now when you came in, he was the first to greet you, and he even got you a fruit tea.”

Ding Yuanyuan was speechless. Do I not remember Wang Fan? Do I not know that he’s buddies with Chu Xuan?

She said indifferently, “I don’t feel anything special, he’s just like everyone else.”

“How can he be just like everyone else, Wang Fan is so handsome.” Li Siyao said while winking at her, “A top student, I know you have high standards, but Wang Fan isn’t just handsome, his school is also a 211, only a bit inferior to Beijing University, but that’s already quite good compared to others. Plus, his family background isn’t simple at all, he’s from the famous wealthy Wang Family of Quanshan. The CEO Wang Baichuan who has been in newspapaers and the news—that’s his uncle. This Xingquan Hotel, for example, is one of his uncle’s chain hotels, and his dad is the vice president of his uncle’s company. The private room for our gathering today was booked by him, and he’s covering all the costs. How about it? Why not give it a thought?”

Ding Yuanyuan shook her head without hesitation, “I…”

“You don’t have a boyfriend, so why not try to get along with him? You haven’t interacted with Wang Fan, so you don’t know what he’s really like. Maybe after getting to know him, you’ll find you click, right? It’s not impossible.”

Ding Yuanyuan frowned slightly, feeling quite averse to Li Siyao’s insistence on coaxing her into dating Wang Fan against her wishes.

It seems that as time passes, people really do change.

“Yuanyuan, I know what you’re thinking. You’ve got good grades and attend a good school; surely you’re going to have a good job after you graduate. But have you ever thought that no matter how good your job, in the end, you’re going to get married, right? You’ve been in university for three years now. If you were going to date someone from Beijing University, you’d have done it already. Nearing your senior year, it’s even less likely. So you really could consider Wang Fan; although his school isn’t as good as yours, his family background is better than yours. And as for looks and height, the appearance is impeccable, very handsome. As for height, well, he might not be as tall as Chu Xuan, but he’s at least one seventy-five, not short at all. Besides…”

While speaking, Li Siyao nudged Ding Yuanyuan with her elbow, “Just between us sisters, don’t get upset, but you know you’re not tall either. Though you are cute, which is definitely a plus. Right, Yuanyuan? If you could just lose a little weight, like me, then you’d be perfect.”

Ding Yuanyuan snorted with laughter, and said to Li Siyao, “If you think I’m too fat to even talk to me about it, what’s this? Trying to flaunt how much better off you are? You tell him there’s no need to stoop so low and inconvenience himself, because I’m not interested in him at all.”

Li Siyao’s expression froze; clearly, she had not expected Such psychological tactics would upset Ding Yuanyuan. She quickly explained, “No, Yuanyuan, Wang Fan didn’t mean…”

“It doesn’t matter. All right, let’s not talk about this. My friend will be here shortly to pick me up; I’m going to wait for him at the entrance.”

After saying that, Ding Yuanyuan turned around to go back to the private room to grab her bag but was caught by Li Siyao’s hand on her arm, “Wait, are you actually mad? I thought with our relationship, even if you didn’t want to, you wouldn’t be mad at me.”

Ding Yuanyuan looked at her calmly, “Siyao, I also thought that with our relationship, no matter what the issue, you would at least try to see it from my perspective. But I didn’t expect… Never mind, let’s leave it at that.”

Li Siyao felt panicked inside. She didn’t quite understand if Ding Yuanyuan meant their conversation should end there, or if it was their friendship she was referring to.

“Yuanyuan…”

“Daling Daling Daling Daling….”

A pleasant ringtone interrupted Li Siyao just as she was about to speak, stopping the words in her throat.

Taking the opportunity, Ding Yuanyuan freed her arm from Li Siyao’s grip and flipped her phone in her hand, noticing the display showing the name “Fatso”.

After answering, she said to the person on the other end, “Wait a moment, I’ll be right down.”

Having hung up, she said to Li Siyao, “My friend’s here.”

Li Siyao watched her in shock; she had thought “a friend is coming to pick me up” was just an excuse to leave, but it turned out to be true.

“We agreed to have a meal together today since yesterday, how could you make another appointment with someone else?”

Ding Yuanyuan looked at her indifferently, “Yes, we did make plans yesterday, but today, haven’t you also arranged to meet your boyfriend and others?”

Li Siyao was at a loss for words and could not say anything more.

Ding Yuanyuan turned and went straight back to the private room. When she entered, she noticed most of the gazes were focused on her.

She walked to the chair she had been sitting on before, picked up the small backpack hanging on it, and gave everyone a faint smile, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. You guys have fun.”

Wang Fan, sitting beside her, was stunned at her words and hurriedly said, “The gathering hasn’t even officially started yet, and not everyone has arrived. Yuanyuan, leaving now, isn’t it…”

‘Not too good’ was held back under Ding Yuanyuan’s sharp glance. She said, “I had already had plans with my friend. It was just a last-minute thing that Li Siyao called me here. I know it’s not easy for everyone to get together, but with so many people here, one more or one less doesn’t make much difference, right?”

After speaking, she gave an apologetic smile to the people around her, “It’s been nice to see everyone today. I won’t join you for the meal, goodbye!”

Watching Ding Yuanyuan’s retreating figure, Wang Fan felt a mix of emotions. Wasn’t it clear to him that she had been called over last minute by Li Siyao?

But what he hadn’t expected was for Ding Yuanyuan to refuse.

To say that he was heartbroken would be an overstatement; to claim he was deeply in love with Ding Yuanyuan was even less true. He merely thought her graduation from Beijing University could add weight to his status at home and make his father proud, potentially securing him an important position in his uncle’s company after he graduated next year.

Beyond that, he actually wasn’t very satisfied with Ding Yuanyuan’s height and figure. She might be considered cute, but she was not beautiful enough, and she was slightly overweight; if only she had the curves of Li Siyao.

His thoughts had been communicated to Li Siyao in an ‘idle chat’ with Chu Xuan, but what he didn’t know was how she had conveyed them. It seemed that Ding Yuanyuan… had taken offense?

Tsk!

Wang Fan couldn’t help but scoff in his mind. What a bookworm, thinking that just because she’s good at studying and got into a top university everything is set?

No matter how good your grades are or how high your educational background is, if you have no connections or background after graduation, won’t you still be working for someone else as an exploited laborer? Unlike him, his family owns a company, his uncle has no sons, his younger step-brother is not doing well in school, so the Wang family’s business is destined to be his.

Without you, Ding Yuanyuan, I can still marry a wife from a good family who can also help me, and for sure, she will have better looks and figure than you.

With this thought, Wang Fan suddenly felt much better. The previous displeasure had been swept away, and he turned to call a few people over to play cards.

Li Siyao stood at the doorway of the private room, watching Ding Yuanyuan leave. Her heart was in turmoil, laced with unease, aware that she had botched things up today. She wasn’t worried about Ding Yuanyuan growing distant, but she feared Wang Baichuan getting angry.

Her dad had been laid off, and she was hoping to rely on Wang Baichuan to find a job for her dad.

Does she still stand a chance…?
