219: Chapter 183: She Says: Iâm at Weihuanâs Home Now_1 219: Chapter 183: She Says: Iâm at Weihuanâs Home Now_1 Nanxi had no idea how she managed to make it through that meal!
Before Li Weihuan returned, Nanxi had eaten two pieces of braised spare ribs that Qi Qun had helped her with, as well as the spicy chicken that Ye Yuchen had served her.
After Li Weihuan returned, Qi Qun didnât clip a dish for her anymore!
The atmosphere at the dinner table maintained the appearance of harmony, but the unrest at the bottom of Nanxiâs heart spread increasingly!
She knew she couldnât stay for long, she needed to leave immediately!
After the meal, Ye Yuchen wanted to leave, and Qi Qun, unable to hold him back, agreed.
Nanxi also intended to leave, because Qi Qun didnât like her and it was quite uncomfortable for her to stay here, but she couldnât take the initiative to mention it, because if she left, Li Weihuan would have to follow her!
This was something that Qi Qun didnât like!
Qi Qun suggested that Li Weihuan drove Ye Yuchen home, Li Weihuan frowned, âI donât have time, later Iâll have to send Nanxi back!â
Qi Qun said, âNo need to send her, tonightâ¦letâs tal stay for the night.
Tomorrow is a weekend anyway, no need to work, it wonât delay anything!â
Li Weihuan was somewhat surprised that his mother would let Nanxi stay over the night.
He thought it might be her compromise.
Since his mother had made a concession, he should make one too!
He nodded and agreed, then said to Nanxi, âWait for a moment, Iâll be back as soon as I send Yuchen off!â
Nanxi felt awkward and wanted to refuse.
She didnât know how much longer she could hold on, but what could she say now?
Should she prevent Li Weihuan from sending people off?
Or reject Qi Qunâs goodwill?
Apparently, none of these were practical.
Nanxi said, âYou go ahead!â
Li Weihuan nodded, embraced her with his arms, and softly said to her ear, âDonât take it the wrong way!â
Nanxi nodded, âI wonât.
Donât worry!â
This warm scene caused varying emotions among the people present.
Ye Yuchen turned and walked out, and Li Weihuan let go of Nanxi and followed!
Nanxi watched Li Weihuan leave, then glanced at Ye Yuchen leading the way, and felt a sense of sadness seeping into her heart, oppressing her!
âSorry, Iâ¦
I need to use the restroom!â Nanxi turned around and said.
Qi Qun did not respond, picked up her tea cup, took a sip, and her face sank againâit was the real her!
Li Mufang stepped forward and took Nanxiâs arm, âIâll take you!â
At the restroom, Li Mufang furrowed her brow, âI apologize to you for my mother!â
Nanxi shook her head, âNo need, Sister, I really didnât take it to heart!
Iâm not mad either!â
Li Mufang nodded, âGo ahead!
Iâll have the servant clean your room!â
Nanxi wanted to say that there was no need for that, but Li Mufangâs cell phone rang.
She picked it up, gave Nanxi an apologetic smile, and pressed the answer button:
âHello⦠Whatâs up?
You call at this time?â¦â
Nanxi closed the restroom door and didnât listen anymore.
She felt restless and uncomfortable.
She needed to leave here as soon as possible!
She pulled out her cell phone from her pocket, thought about it, and called Liang Qiaoqiao!
âHello, Nanxiâ¦â
âCousin, listen, in a while⦠about five minutes later, call me and say something urgent has come up at homeâ¦â
ââ¦â Liang Qiaoqiao was surprised on the other end, âWhat happened?â
Nanxi bit her lip, âItâs a long story, just promise to call me in a while anyway, I must go now!
Remember, donât forget to call!â
âWait, Nanxi, what are you doing?
Who are you with?
Calling to say you have an emergency⦠I donât quite understand?â
Nanxi bit her lip, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She said, âIâm at⦠at Weihuanâs houseâ¦â
On the other end, Liang Qiaoqiao paused, and immediately replied, âI understand!â
Nanxi stayed in the restroom for two minutes, and went downstairs where she saw Liang Youquan, Qi Qun, and Li Muyun talking.
Seeing her, they stopped talking.
As for what they were talking about, Nanxi felt too uncomfortable to listen!
She walked there, greeted everyone, Qi Qun had a cold glance, said no words, and it became as quiet as a painting!
Li Muyun frowned, âNanxi, your face doesnât look so good.
What happened?â
âThatâs not really a problem, Iâm fine,â Nanxi answered.
Two minutes later, Nanxiâs phone rang.
She picked it up quickly, feeling relief deep down!
After hanging up, Nanxi explained that it was a call from her cousin and there was an emergency at home, so she needed to leave and couldnât stay overnight!
Li Muyun frowned, âBut Weihuan hasnât returned from sending Ye Yuchenâ¦â
âNo need, I can get home myself!â
Li Muyun pursed her lips, picked up her car keys on the table, âIâll give you a ride!â
Nanxi paused, then nodded, âThank you!â
â¦
Getting in Li Muyunâs red sports car really felt awesome.
Nanxi had been in it before, during the time when Li Weihuan drove it!
Nanxi sat upright in the seat, rarely speaking and a layer of thin sweat appeared on her forehead again, but Li Muyun, who was focused on driving, didnât notice!
On the road, Li Muyun chatted with her, âHeard you graduated and are working in the Publicity Department of a companyâ¦â
Nanxi nodded, âYes!â
âHave you ever thought about being a fashion editor?
If youâre interested, I can give you an internship opportunity!â
Nanxi felt a shock.
The magazine agency where Li Muyun was working was considered one of the best female fashion magazines in H City, and it was hard, even very hard, to get in.
Itâs said that they only recruit about ten newcomers each year, divide out three after three months, divide out another three after half a year, and itâs hard to tell whether the remaining four can stay for a yearâ¦
Even though the elimination rate was high, many people were eager to get in because once you got out of there, even if you were eliminated, you could be an editor at a general small magazine agency and be well-receivedâ¦
So that place was a real challenge for people!
Butâ¦
âNo need, Sister.
Iâm not really suited for the fashion field,â Nanxi politely refused.
She suppressed the temptation in her heart and said, âMy dreams are both big and small.
For now, I just want to accompany my uncle and grandmother well and use my salary to make their lives easier.
Thatâs all!â
Li Muyun laughed, âI know, working under me would make you uncomfortable!â
âNo, Sister!â
Nanxi didnât know how to explain, she said, âSister, Iâm really tempted by the opportunity you gave me.
If it was possible, I would love to accept it, but I canât!â
She said, âI canât promise you, not because Iâm afraid to work under your command, but because Iâm worried about the impending trouble after I start working under youâ¦
Aunt would probably dislike me more because she might think Iâm up to something, Weihuan would feel uncomfortable, and others might give me pointed looks.
I donât like thatâ¦â
Nanxi took a deep breath, âIn short, I want to thank you a lot for offering me this wonderful chance, but right now, I donât have the courage to face and accept all these things, so I must decline your offer.
Iâm sorryâ¦â
Li Muyun glanced at her, smiled lightly, âYou donât have to apologize, you see things very clearly, itâs my fault for not considering carefullyâ¦â
She paused for a moment, then said, âNanxi, I admire you!â
Nanxiâs eyes flickered slightly as she replied, âThank you!â
