Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 303 - 144: Bai Weixi Declares Sovereignty, The Envy of the Girls_2

Chapter 303: Chapter 144: Bai Weixi Declares Sovereignty, The Envy of the Girls_2

Hehe, Daddy will be so heartbroken. His little girl has been snatched away by another man. Will Li Yuan be nervous when he meets my parents? Bai Weixi found the thought amusing.

Her parents doted on her. She was their only daughter, the apple of their eye, and they had given her the best of everything since she was a child. You could say she was spoiled rotten by them. She had always tried her best to make them proud, consistently ranking in the top three of her class and eventually gaining admission to a prestigious 985 university in Modu.

Just as Bai Weixi was daydreaming about Li Yuan meeting her parents, her phone rang. It was her roommate, Wang Lisha.

Bai Weixi smiled and quickly answered the call.

"Shasha, why are you calling so early?"

On the other end of the line, Wang Lisha struggled to suppress the urge to tell Bai Weixi the truth. She did her best to keep her voice even as she asked, "Weixi, where are you?"

Bai Weixi was in a great mood and didn’t notice anything strange in Wang Lisha’s tone. "I’m at home, Shasha," she replied cheerfully. "What’s up?"

In her heart, she already considered this place a home for herself and Li Yuan.

Wang Lisha asked, "Are you with your boyfriend?"

Bai Weixi nodded. "Mhm."

That’s strange, Wang Lisha thought. Wasn’t Li Yuan with Zhong Tingyue last night?

Despite her confusion, she didn’t press the issue.

"Weixi, are you coming back to campus today?"

Bai Weixi shook her head. "No, my parents are coming over this afternoon."

"Shasha, you sound a little strange. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Wang Lisha felt a mix of disappointment and relief, because she had no idea how to bring it up with Bai Weixi anyway. "No, nothing. I was just wondering when you’d be back."

"Oh, okay! I thought something was wrong," Bai Weixi replied brightly. "It’s good that everything’s fine. But if you ever have a problem, you have to tell me, okay?"

Forcing down the urge to blurt out the truth, Wang Lisha composed herself and said with a laugh, "Alright, I get it. Have fun with your boyfriend."

"Bye-bye, Shasha."

「」

After hanging up, Bai Weixi frowned. She was on great terms with her roommates and knew a bit about their family situations. Wang Lisha’s family was well-off; they were from a county in Zhejiang Province, and Bai Weixi had heard that both her parents worked.

Shasha’s tone was a bit odd today, Bai Weixi mused. Is she short on cash but too embarrassed to ask? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It was just a guess. Since Wang Lisha hadn’t mentioned anything, she felt it would be rude to ask directly.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast of porridge, Bai Weixi went to the study. She turned on the computer Li Yuan used for his writing, logged into her QQ account, and connected her phone with a data cable. Then, she began uploading the pictures from yesterday to her QQ Space album.

The album was filled with photos she’d taken while out for a drive with Li Yuan. There were pictures of them holding hands in the sports car and a snapshot of them together at the BMW flagship dealership. She posted a new status update with some of the pictures and a caption:

[Thank you for the gift, big bro! Life is so good with you!]

Then she hesitated.

Isn’t this a bit too showy? Who cares? Our classmates and friends all know about our relationship. There’s nothing to hide. I’ll tell Mom and Dad when they come this afternoon, too, if they ask. Might as well post it.

After hitting send, Bai Weixi ignored Li Yuan’s suggestion to call Wang Yuchen and invite her over. For some reason, she suddenly felt it wouldn’t be good for Wang Yuchen to visit their home too often. During dinner last night, she had sensed a change in Wang Yuchen’s attitude toward Li Yuan. Recalling the accident that evening, her instincts screamed at her not to let Wang Yuchen get too close to him.

I’ll just stay home and read this morning. I can go pick up Mom and Dad at noon.

「」

After hanging up with Bai Weixi, Wang Lisha looked helplessly at Ding Shanshan, Xu Tingrou, and Deng Meiqi.

"You heard what Weixi said," Wang Lisha reported. "She’s with Li Yuan right now. And from the sound of it, she’s really happy."

Ding Shanshan frowned. She had just called Zhong Tingyue, who sounded like she hadn’t woken up yet but also claimed to be with her boyfriend.

So, were there two Li Yuans? Or was one of them—either Zhong Tingyue or Bai Weixi—lying?

Xu Tingrou cleared her throat. "This is getting weirder and weirder. Could there really be two Li Yuans? Or can he clone himself? Maybe he has an identical twin?"

"But what are the odds of a coincidence like that?"

The four girls exchanged helpless glances.

"Let’s just wait for them to get back," one of them said. "Fretting about it won’t help."

Because of what they’d discovered last night, none of the girls in the dorm went out today.

Wang Lisha was on her computer when a notification popped up for a status update from a "Special Concern" friend.

Huh? It’s Weixi. She posted a new status?

Wang Lisha instinctively clicked on it. The moment she saw it, her jaw dropped.

Bai Weixi had posted three pictures along with a single line of text.

Who gave Weixi a gift like this? It’s a sports car! Isn’t she an only child? How does she have a ’big bro’? This model looks familiar... I think it’s a BMW Z4. That costs six or seven hundred thousand yuan! Where would Weixi get that kind of money? The silhouette in this picture... it looks a lot like Li Yuan. Could the ’big bro’ she mentioned be him?
