Chapter 1129: 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."

Helen smiled. "Long time no see, Sister Su. You’ve become even more beautiful. I have a little gift for you here."

"Really? I can’t wait to see it." After saying that, Su Hui eagerly entered the room, unable to hide her impatience.

Gu Fan inwardly scorned them. These women were so unreliable. Su Hui leaving was practically desertion. Now only he, Lin Xi, and Li Shi were left.

The scene instantly became as awkward as it could get. Gu Fan did not even know what to say. Just when one wave had settled, another rose. Life was tough.

Suddenly, Li Shi smiled and walked over to Lin Xi, greeting her warmly, "Hello, I’m Gu Fan’s high school classmate, my name is Li Shi."

"Hello, I’m Lin Xi." Meeting someone so gracious, Lin Xi, having once been a queen in her previous life, naturally could not be outdone.

The two women chatted briefly and seemed to get along fairly well. The atmosphere appeared to have eased considerably, but Gu Fan never felt relaxed.

At that moment, Su Hui, Helen, and Gu Ling were peeking out the window, eager for a drama to unfold. They were hoping for the two women to start arguing, with Gu Fan caught in the middle, and in the end, for Lin Xi and Li Shi to give Gu Fan a thrashing together.

If Gu Fan knew that the three women inside were not only unwilling to help but also taking pleasure in the prospect of seeing him make a fool of himself, he would certainly have been furious enough to explode.

A short while later, Li Shi took her leave, and Lin Xi also smiled and waved goodbye to Li Shi, appearing quite friendly on the surface.

Gu Fan was a bit anxious inside, and sure enough, as soon as Li Shi’s figure disappeared from sight, Lin Xi’s expression darkened and she glared fiercely at Gu Fan, frightening him nearly out of his wits.

Gu Ling sighed inwardly upon seeing how scared Gu Fan was from just one look, "Brother, it seems like you’re not going to have any good days ahead. But there’s no helping it, you chose your wife yourself, so no matter how tough it gets, you have to keep going."

Suddenly, everyone saw Lin Xi storm off, and Gu Fan immediately followed after her.

"No more drama to watch, let’s disperse," Helen shook her head, looking very disappointed.

"Exactly, I was hoping to see my brother get beat up into a pig’s head. I didn’t expect that after waiting for so long, nothing happened at all. It’s really dull," Gu Ling’s words made Su Hui burst into laughter and tears, she couldn’t help but say, "No wonder Gu Fan always calls you a little traitor, you really are one."

"Nonsense, I am the most loyal and righteous," Gu Ling had just finished speaking when he saw the door pushed open, followed by Gu Fan’s dejected look. It was obvious at a glance that Lin Xi hadn’t listened to the explanation properly.

Gu Ling’s eyes rolled swiftly and he quickly consoled, "It’s okay, brother, Sister Lin Xi is just angry. Once she calms down, you can go and apologize."

"Yeah, it seems that for now, all I can do is wait for her anger to subside before apologizing," Gu Fan said more and more dejectedly, "But the problem is, what exactly did I do wrong? I wasn’t alone in a room with Li Shi, and I even invited a third and a fourth person to be present. Having you there shows that Li Shi and I were not messing around; we had serious business to attend to."

"There’s no helping it, you invited such a beautiful old classmate to your home without discussing it with Lin Xi. After all, she’s your future wife and the future lady of this old house. When guests come over, you should at least give her a heads up," Su Hui said.

Hearing this, Gu Fan shook his head with a wry smile, as he had been afraid of Lin Xi overthinking things, which was why he hadn’t told her in advance. He didn’t expect that Lin Xi would catch him anyway. What could he say? Perhaps it was just fate. Gu Fan admitted his bad luck.

"My life is too nerve-wracking," Gu Fan sighed and slumped onto the sofa.

While patting Gu Fan’s head, Su Hui consoled, "Alright, don’t be so pessimistic. Think about it, who else can have the good fortune like you? A sister who is smart and cute, a roommate who is pretty and mature, a girlfriend as beautiful as a celestial being, and a high school classmate with devastating beauty."

"That seems true!" Gu Fan felt there was some truth to it, then realized it was also a major problem in his life.

Helen interjected discontentedly, "Wait a second, Sister Su, why did you leave me out? I’m a beauty too."

Su Hui explained, "Because you and Gu Ling are similar in nature, both related by blood, so I just didn’t repeat it."

Gu Fan couldn’t take it anymore and protested, "Alright, stop messing around, can’t you see I’m upset?"

"What’s there to worry about? I have an idea for you. As long as you’re in danger, Lin Xi will rush to your rescue regardless of how angry she is with you," Helen finally gave a seemingly good suggestion after all the chatter.

Gu Fan’s expression lit up with hope, "Right, that’s a good idea, so now I’ll just need to find some trouble for myself..." He cut off as he saw Helen’s sly smile, instantly alerting Gu Fan something wasn’t right, "Hey, relative, you wouldn’t have something else you need from me, would you?"

Helen smiled faintly, "Of course, my grandfather wants you to come over for a meal, and the high-ranking members of Organization X would like to meet you as well."

"It’s finally coming!" Gu Fan’s expression turned serious, then he glanced at Su Hui, who also became more vigilant, and everyone was wary of Helen.
