What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book]

Chapter 61

A barbecue before parting should have been a joyous occasion. However, Su Lingling felt that apart from her and Yaozu, the other guests were acting strangely. When the barbecue party was only halfway through, Lin Ranran dragged her suitcase downstairs. She and Chu Mo were taking an international flight and had to leave earlier.

Lin Ranran walked up to Yan Xi on her own initiative.

Before she could say a word, Zhou Qingyu's tone was full of provocation. "What are you doing? You're about to leave. Do you still want to cause trouble?"

Lin Ranran looked at Zhou Qingyu with a mix of hatred and fear.

If it weren't for Zhou Qingyu, who was Yan Xi?

Thinking this way in her heart, Lin Ranran didn't dare to show it. She still remembered the look in Zhou Yanci's eyes, which was terrifyingly cold. Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci looked somewhat alike, with her amber eyes like a venomous snake hiding in the dark.

Lin Ranran looked at Yan Xi, took a deep breath, and bowed at a ninety - degree angle. "Yan Xi, I shouldn't have exposed our relationship on the show. Moreover, the thing about you bullying your classmates on the Internet last time was also my rumor... I'm sorry!"

Yan Xi looked at Lin Ranran for a couple of seconds and replied in a flat tone, "Got it." She didn't intend to forgive Lin Ranran. This was just a casual response. Anyway, Lin Ranran and Chu Mo were just flying guests. They wouldn't meet again after this. Lin Ranran disliked Yan Xi's attitude very much. She and the Lin family had been tormented by Zhou Yanci, but Yan Xi treated it so lightly, making her look like a joke.

Being young after all, Lin Ranran couldn't hold back. "Yan Xi, do you know why I hate you? It's because of your attitude! You're clearly the one who benefited, but why do you always make it seem like it's my fault?"

Yan Xi looked at Lin Ranran suspiciously.

Knowing that there was no live broadcast and Zhou Yanci couldn't see, Lin Ranran became bolder. "It was you who snatched my identity as the daughter of the Lin family, making me live alone outside! Do you know what kind of life I lived in the orphanage all those years?" "Even after I returned to the Lin family, my mother always talked about how good you were! If I had received such a good education since childhood, how could I have lost to you!" Zhou Qingyu was indignant. "Lin Ranran, what's wrong with you? Can you blame Xixi for that? It was clearly a problem with your family's nanny..."

Yan Xi pulled Zhou Qingyu and looked at Lin Ranran again.

She said word by word, "Lin Ranran, you're right. In the matter of the real and fake daughters, I'm the beneficiary. But it wasn't me who switched the children back then, so I don't owe you anything. I owe the Lin family."

"Do you think it was you and Mrs. Lin who drove me away? No. The day I left the Lin family, I gave your father ten million."

Lin Ranran's eyes widened in shock. Ten million? She had no idea about this! "As for Mrs. Lin always comparing me with you..." Yan Xi sneered. "Can you blame me for that? Even without me, Mrs. Lin would still scold you. What she wants to scold is you." "Lin Ranran, understand this. It's you who is stuck in the past, and it's you who has made me your imaginary enemy. There's no competition or conflict of interest between us." "But," Yan Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "why don't you think about why Mrs. Lin helped you drive me away back then?"

"An adopted daughter also has the right of inheritance, and Mrs. Lin just happens to have a son." Lin Ranran took two steps back in shock.

Yan Xi's words, which deflected the force with ease, revealed another truth that Lin Ranran had never thought of.

— Mrs. Lin was sowing discord between her and Yan Xi.

She made Lin Ranran sink into the pain of the real and fake daughters' incident and forget that the one who really had a conflict of interest with her was not Yan Xi, but her half - brother Lin Sibo.

Seeing that Lin Ranran understood what she meant, Yan Xi said, "Let me give you one more piece of advice, Lin Ranran. During the fifteen years I was in the Lin family, Mrs. Lin never once praised me." Since Mrs. Lin had never praised Yan Xi, how could she now praise Yan Xi and belittle Lin Ranran? The meaning behind this was self - evident.

Lin Ranran felt her head was in a mess.

She originally thought that Mrs. Lin didn't like her just because she had poor upbringing and couldn't compare with Yan Xi. Now it seemed that there was something even more terrifying behind it. She didn't have time to argue with Yan Xi anymore and hurriedly pulled her luggage outside. Chu Mo had been following Lin Ranran all the time, listening to her argument with Yan Xi. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Xi changed from just liking her for her appearance at the beginning to showing a bit of admiration.

Beautiful and smart.

Such a girl was more suitable for him.

Before leaving, Chu Mo looked at Yan Xi with reluctance.

The blind - date event that Zhou Qingyu organized for Yan Xi yesterday made Chu Mo realize that Yan Xi was still single and not with Zhou Yanci.

It didn't matter. There would be plenty of time in the future.

After Lin Ranran and Chu Mo left, the tense atmosphere in the villa eased a lot. Director Yu didn't want to dampen everyone's spirits and invited the staff to have the barbecue together. "Lu Beiyu! Hurry up and pick up the skewers! They're burning!" Su Lingling exclaimed and quickly used a drink to put out the flames on the skewers. Lu Beiyu seemed to wake up from a dream and only then realized that all the skewers of meat he had been grilling were burnt to a crisp, turning into black, ugly lumps.

Su Lingling teased, "Lu Beiyu, I didn't expect you to like gossiping too!" Lu Beiyu was in a very complicated mood.

He ignored Su Lingling and quickly walked up to Yan Xi. "Sister Yan Xi, can we have a talk?"

In the backyard of the villa, there was no one around.

The gentle breeze blew, and the swimming pool sparkled, reflecting the hazy figures of Yan Xi and Lu Beiyu.

Lu Beiyu walked closer to Yan Xi and asked cautiously, "Sister Yan Xi, after you left the Lin family, did you find your own family?"

He previously thought that after Yan Xi left the Lin family and returned to the Yan family, she naturally had a new family. But just hearing what Lin Ranran said, since Lin Ranran was an orphan before, it was very likely that Yan Xi was also an orphan.

Yan Xi replied, "No."

Lu Beiyu said excitedly, "Then, Sister Yan Xi, can I have a strand of your hair? I'll go back and do a DNA test. Maybe we're siblings!" Yan Xi refused, "No."

Lu Beiyu was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"Why not? Sister Yan Xi, you're the same age as my second sister, and you look very much like Sister Wanning! You're very likely to be..." "Lu Beiyu, why can't you understand?" Yan Xi looked at Lu Beiyu. "I don't want to do a DNA test because I don't want to find my family." Lu Beiyu was shocked and opened his mouth, unable to understand.

How could there be someone who didn't want to find their family? Those were blood - related family members!

Yan Xi sneered, "Lin Ranran was an abandoned baby and was thrown into a trash can not long after she was born. So I'm a child abandoned by my parents. Since they didn't want me back then, why should I go looking for them? Am I some kind of cheap person?"

Lu Beiyu explained in a flurry, "No, Sister Yan Xi. It was Dad's business rival who deliberately lost you! It wasn't that Mom and Dad didn't want you. They were very sad when they knew you were gone!"

"Stop!" Yan Xi stopped Lu Beiyu. "First of all, I'm not your sister, so you don't have to talk to me like this. Secondly, so many years have passed, and I'm already an adult. Anyway, we've been strangers for twenty years. Let's just stay that way." Lu Beiyu was extremely anxious, with tears welling up in his eyes. "But over these years, Mom and Dad have missed you so much! If you hadn't gone missing, Mom wouldn't have taken Sister Luoyi as her god - daughter. She just misses you so much..."

"Why didn't they find me before!" Yan Xi roared out loudly, her voice also tinged with a sob. "They miss me and are reluctant to part with me. Why didn't they find me before I lost hope!"

Lu Beiyu was at a loss for words. "The world is too big."

It's not that we didn't want to, but the world is too big and we couldn't find you. Yan Xi forced a bitter smile. "Yes, you also know that the world is too big." Yan Xi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Actually, before I knew that Lin Ranran was an abandoned baby, I also tried to find my family."

Lu Beiyu suddenly looked up, looking at Yan Xi expectantly.

"I've met many 'parents' and had many DNA tests. But after every glimmer of hope, there was only disappointment."

"Again and again, how many times exactly? I don't even remember myself. The world is so big, with a population of 1.4 billion in the country. It's so difficult to find blood - related relatives among them."

Yan Xi looked at Lu Beiyu. "Twenty years old, allergic to mangoes, and the name 'Gubei'... It's just a coincidence. 40% of the world's population has different degrees of mango allergy, and there are plenty of twenty - year - old girls. I just happen to meet the conditions of your sister, but I'm not her."

Lu Beiyu was unwilling. "But I still want to give it a try!"

Even though he knew the hope was slim and that disappointment would follow hope, Lu Beiyu still wanted to try.

"But I don't want to." Yan Xi refused him again.

Lu Beiyu and Yan Xi were at a stalemate for a long time, so long that Yan Xi got impatient. Lu Beiyu had no choice but to leave the backyard dejectedly.

Yan Xi didn't leave. Her eyes were red - rimmed. She didn't want Zhou Qingyu to see her in such a mess, so she stayed by the swimming pool to calm down for a while.

The system popped up: [Host, you're lying.]

It was a statement.

Yan Xi sniffed. "Where am I lying?"

[I can check the records. You didn't stop looking for your family after you knew that Lin Ranran was an abandoned baby. You stopped after you knew that this world was a novel.] [Host, you don't want to drag down the Lu Family, right?]

Yan Xi didn't say a word. The system turned into a glowing ball and floated beside her. Yan Xi deliberately turned her face away from the system.

The system didn't care about Yan Xi's avoidance and continued on its own: [In the novel, the elder brother will die because he is the backer of the eldest young lady. You will become a vegetable because the eldest young lady's luck was extremely poor, a negative number at that time, but you still chose to help her.]

[So, before the luck value reaches 100 points, all those who are kind to the eldest young lady won't end up well.]

[If you are the youngest daughter of the Lu Family, the Lu Family will surely side with the eldest young lady. Then the Lu Family won't have a good ending either.]

[Host, although you were just being fierce, I know you're trying to protect the Lu Family!]

Yan Xi argued unreasonably, "You're just an artificial idiot. What do you know?" "If I were the daughter of the Lu Family, only I would die in the end. If I die, the connection between the Lu Family and Qingqing will be cut off. How can I have any feelings for the Lu Family? I just want to live longer."

The system bounced around beside Yan Xi: [Oh! It's more or less the same! Anyway, it's for similar reasons. You're not really disappointed in your family!] [Host, there is a solution too!]

Yan ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Xi realized what the system was going to say and immediately interrupted it. "It's time to go back."

She had been away for too long and she had to go back.

Yan Xi got up and walked towards the lawn in front of the villa.

The system silently followed behind Yan Xi, looking at her back.

- [Actually, as long as you don't help the eldest young lady, you won't become a vegetable and the Lu Family won't be in trouble either.]

But the system didn't say it.

It knew that its host wouldn't do that.

When Yan Xi and Lu Beiyu returned to the barbecue party, Lin Ranran and Chu Mo were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the two of them, Su Lingling suddenly remembered what Lin Ranran had accused Yan Xi of before and exclaimed, "Yan Xi, don't tell me you're the missing youngest daughter of the Lu Family?" Ye Luoyi immediately looked at Yan Xi, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly.

Yan Xi looked helpless. "Come on, have you read too many novels? How could there be such a coincidence?"

Ye Luoyi let out a sigh of relief.

Su Lingling sighed. "If you were the youngest daughter of the Lu Family, I could watch you give Lin Ranran a good beating. How boring!"

Zhou Qingyu's eyes darted back and forth between Yan Xi and Lu Beiyu. She suddenly remembered that in Licheng, she had asked Yan Xi if she still wanted to find her parents. Yan Xi had said that she didn't want to look anymore.

So, it wasn't that she wasn't the youngest daughter of the Lu Family, but that she didn't want to find them. Moreover, they had just talked for a while and hadn't even done a DNA test. How could they know for sure?

Zhou Qingyu didn't say a word. Sometimes she didn't understand what Yan Xi was thinking, but Yan Xi was smart. Zhou Qingyu thought it was normal that she couldn't figure it out. If she couldn't understand, she wouldn't think about it. She just respected Yan Xi's choice.

Yan Xi sat down beside Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu gave her the skewers that Piao Baoyuan had just grilled and then patted her on the shoulder.

The barbecue party was quiet for a moment and then became lively again. Especially Yaozu, as a care - free Samoyed, was happier than anyone else. It shook its fluffy big tail and wandered among the crowd, hoping that some kind - hearted person would give it a skewer.

Seeing its pitiful look, Zhou Qingyu asked the food cart to bring some cream that animals could eat and gave it to Yaozu.

Yaozu's eyes lit up and its tail wagged even more happily.

Suddenly, in its jumping around, it bumped into Ye Luoyi beside it. Ye Luoyi let out a scream and her phone fell on the grass. The screen lit up, and Zhou Qingyu saw the ambiguous text messages between Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai on it. The date was today. Ye Luoyi immediately picked up her phone.

But Zhou Qingyu's face had already changed.

The good mood at the party vanished without a trace. Zhou Qingyu's anger flared up. She rushed in front of Ye Luoyi, pointing at her nose. "Ye Luoyi, how can you be so shameless? You know my relationship with Brother Yubai, yet you still pester him?" "I didn't!"

Ye Luoyi retorted, clutching her phone tightly. "You... you haven't agreed to get back together with Young Master Pei, have you? You've already broken up!"

Zhou Qingyu got even angrier. "That was just a little quarrel between lovers!" Ye Luoyi didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of Zhou Qingyu and didn't want to be called a mistress. She straightened her back. "Zhou Qingyu, we're all adults. Be realistic. There's no such thing as a little quarrel. Breaking up means breaking up! Since you've proposed to break up, you're just strangers with no relationship. What I do with Young Master Pei has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Qingyu was so angry that her face turned ashen.

She seemed to have returned to the old days when she loved Pei Yubai to madness but could only watch him and Ye Luoyi create a CP. Her heart was always filled with sourness and pain. Was she wrong?

Was she wrong to reject Pei Yubai?

She should have agreed to get back together with Pei Yubai on the plane!

The sky had already darkened, and the boundless night shrouded Han City. Just then, a bunch of fireworks shot up into the air with a "biu" and then exploded with a "bang"!

The gorgeous fireworks dyed the night sky in a riot of colors. The lonely night sky turned into a grand feast of blooming flowers. One after another, the fireworks vied to show their fleeting beauty in the sky.

Amid the background sound of "bang, bang, bang", everyone was stunned.

Only Zhou Qingyu got even angrier. She turned to Director Yu and shouted, "Yu Jizhong! What are you setting off fireworks for at this time? Are you crazy?"

Director Yu looked innocent. "It wasn't me!"

After the last bunch of fireworks shot into the air and bloomed vigorously, the flames "crackled" and turned into a string of words.

Director Yu's eyes lit up. "Miss! Look at the fireworks! Look at the fireworks!"

Zhou Qingyu was confused, but instinctively looked up at the brilliant night sky. Then, she saw an unmissable line of words in the gorgeous fireworks - "Zhou Qingyu, I love you."

Everyone was stunned, not only Zhou Qingyu but also the guests and staff on the scene.

The sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, bright and eye - catching.

Not far away, Pei Yubai was wearing a handmade black suit. Holding a bunch of flowers in his hand, he came over like a star.

He walked to the barbecue party and knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Qingyu, with a sincere and affectionate look in his eyes.

"Qingyu, stop being angry."

"Forgive me, okay?"

In such an overly romantic scene, the roar of the fireworks made people lose their senses. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness at Haicheng Airport before and instinctively started to cheer -

"Say yes! Say yes!"

Everyone was like this.

Except for Yan Xi and Ye Luoyi.

Yan Xi squinted her eyes. "System, why do I feel like this scene is so familiar?" The system jumped up angrily: [Can you not be familiar with it! This was the scene in the novel when Pei Yubai apologized to Ye Luoyi! The sky - full of fireworks, isn't it so touching?]

[This was supposed to be the highlight moment of the male and female leads, but Pei Yubai used it on the young lady!]

Yan Xi snorted. "He knew that Qingqing was busy recording the variety show, so he deliberately ignored her for a few days and then came to her on the last day, making it so romantic. Pei Yubai is really good at using the strategy of 'first suppressing and then promoting'!"

The system said awkwardly, [You know, he has Feng Meiyu as his advisor behind him!]

Pei Yubai had planned everything well.

Before Zhou Qingyu could agree, Ye Luoyi slapped him with a "pop"! Ye Luoyi was holding her phone and trembling with anger. "Pei Yubai! What do you mean? Didn't you just tell me that you were just pretending to be a couple with Zhou Qingyu?"

Pei Yubai averted his eyes. "Yiyi, stop making a scene. We were just doing a CP hype! It was all for marketing! I'm serious about Qingyu!"

Ye Luoyi felt cold all over.

Pei Yubai's words were like needles stabbing into her heart. She felt that her breathing was being restricted, and the pain was drowning her bit by bit. Everyone on the scene was looking at them, as if they were watching a clown and her joke. Ye Luoyi shed a tear and turned away.

Su Lingling and Lu Beiyu were also stunned by the situation and quickly chased after Ye Luoyi to comfort her.

The stage was given back to Pei Yubai and Zhou Qingyu. Ignoring the red mark on his face, Pei Yubai looked at Zhou Qingyu again -

"Qingyu, let's get back together, okay?"

Zhou Qingyu was extremely happy now!

Not only did she slap Ye Luoyi in the face, but Pei Yubai also didn't leave her. This was the best ending she could think of!

Yan Xi was right. Men should be left alone for a while!

The atmosphere was just right, and with the cheers from others around, Zhou Qingyu was almost about to agree to Pei Yubai.

Yan Xi quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Qingqing! Didn't we agree to get back together after returning to the country?"

Zhou Qingyu hesitated. "The atmosphere is great now!"

Yan Xi said, "But you have to think about the long - term. Don't you want to be with the second young master Pei for a long time?"

Zhou Qingyu paused. Although she really wanted to get back together, a long - term relationship was more important! Zhou Qingyu gritted her teeth and looked at Pei Yubai. "Brother Yubai, I can see your sincerity, but I'm not completely over my anger yet! I... I can't agree to you now!"

Pei Yubai was shocked. He had gone this far and even scolded Ye Luoyi in front of her, but she still wasn't satisfied?

But Zhou Qingyu didn't say it too definitely. Pei Yubai could feel that compared to the time at the airport, Zhou Qingyu's tone was much softer.

That meant there was still hope!

He couldn't anger Zhou Qingyu now and had to go along with her. Even though Zhou Qingyu didn't agree to get back together now, Pei Yubai still managed to pull out a gentle smile. "It's okay. As long as it's you, I'm willing to wait for as long as you want!" After the barbecue party, the trip to H Country ended, and the guests returned to their own countries on their own. Ye Luoyi left one step ahead. She couldn't stay in Han City any longer and went back to Lu Beiyu's plane early.

After that, the other guests also arrived at Han City Airport.

The Pei family had a private plane, but it belonged to Pei Hanli. Pei Yubai didn't have the right to use it. He came here on a national flight. Fortunately, on the way back, Zhou Qingyu said he could go back with her.

Although they weren't back together yet, on the way back, Zhou Qingyu couldn't help but hold Pei Yubai's arm.

Pei Yubai also felt Zhou Qingyu's attention to him, and the smile at the corners of his eyes became deeper.

During the flight, Sun Qi contacted Pei Yubai to discuss work matters. Pei Yubai deliberately explained to Zhou Qingyu, "There are too many things going on in the company... I took time out of my busy schedule to come to you."

Zhou Qingyu asked worriedly, "Is it because I cut off your resources?" Pei Yubai nodded helplessly.

Zhou Qingyu whispered, "I didn't expect Qiao Yan to act so quickly. After we get back to the country, I'll ask Qiao Yan to give all the resources of Zhou Corporation to you, okay?" Pei Yubai was overjoyed. "Okay!"

"Oh, and about the birthday banquet," Pei Yubai added, "Actually, at the previous birthday banquet, Grandpa wanted to announce our engagement and set the wedding date, but unfortunately you didn't come."

Zhou Qingyu was very nervous. "I... I didn't know! After I get back, I'll go to see Grandpa, and we'll discuss the wedding date again, okay?"

Pei Yubai stroked Zhou Qingyu's hair. "It's okay. As long as you're still willing to marry me, that's enough."

It took about two hours to fly from Han City to Hai City.

Pei Yubai said he had to work and temporarily separated from Zhou Qingyu, going to the study alone. - Since Zhou Qingyu had already agreed to give him back the resources, he had to rearrange the work of Tianhui. He would also definitely give the resources that belonged to Ye Luoyi to her. After flying in the air for an unknown amount of time, Pei Yubai left the study because he was thirsty and saw Yan Xi in the living room.

His gaze suddenly turned cold. He poured himself a glass of whiskey and deliberately sat across from Yan Xi.

"I heard that Qingyu wants you to be the VP of Xingyao?"

Yan Xi looked up at Pei Yubai. "The second young master Pei has very good information." "It's a pity that Qingyu has already agreed to give all the resources of Zhou Corporation to me. Xingyao is destined to be a mess!"

Pei Yubai crossed his legs and looked at Yan Xi with his chin raised. "You've accompanied Zhou Qingyu for so long. What's the use? As soon as I showed up, she clung to me again!"

"I'm still much more important to her than you are!"

Yan Xi smiled. "Is the second young master showing off?"

"It's not showing off. It's all the truth."

Pei Yubai took a sip of whiskey proudly. "Yan Xi, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Don't you just want to cling to Zhou Qingyu? That's all you're capable of. You still want to fight me? Dream on!"

Pei Yubai firmly believed that once he returned to the country, Zhou Qingyu would surely return the resources to him, continue the engagement, and he would get back the shares of the Pei Corporation that he had lost. Yan Xi didn't refute Pei Yubai.

The private plane was flying smoothly in the air, passing through large clouds. The stars in the distance were twinkling and gradually fading away.

At the moment when the private plane flew across the border of Country H, the system popped up - [Ding! Changed Zhou Qingyu's fate of being the control group on the variety show. Zhou Qingyu's luck value increased by 5 points. The current luck value is 60.2 points.] [When the luck value exceeds 60 points, a phased achievement is locked. Zhou Qingyu completely gets rid of the control of the plot.]
