Chapter 1980 : Did You Get It Wrong? Xiao Chu started the car and said with a smile, “Have you already thought of a way to make Miss Ye happy?”
Li Tingshen’s brows moved imperceptibly, and a glint flashed across his dark eyes…
*
Lian Lili sat on the sofa with a cold face. Liang Xuer sat beside her with a hint of worry in her eyes.
When Li Tingshen walked in, Liang Xuer hurriedly stood up.
“Brother Tingshen…”
After telling her what happened today, Auntie Lian was so angry.
This outcome would be blamed on her no matter what.
Indeed, Li Tingshen ignored her and shifted his gaze to Lian Lili.
Lian Lili could hear Liang Xuer’s nervousness. She stood up and looked at Li Tingshen coldly.
“I forced Xu’er to tell me about this. If you want to blame someone, blame me. However, compared to the truth that Xu’er told me, isn’t it worse for Ye Qingqiu to find someone to smash your car into pieces?!”
Li Tingshen unbuttoned his suit jacket and the servants hurried to catch him.
“I made her angry and she lost her temper at me. It’s reasonable and understandable.”
Liang Xuer’s eyes trembled slightly.
The anger in Lian Lili’s eyes intensified.
“She smashed your car because she lost her temper at you?! It’s reasonable and understandable? You’re really bold!”
Li Tingshen, let me tell you again. You can date Ye Qingqiu, but you can’t go further. With her arrogant personality, my Li family can’t serve her.
Didn’t she throw a tantrum at you? This is a good opportunity for you to break up!”
Li Tingshen’s lips twitched and his dark eyes turned cold.
He did not respond to Lian Lili but turned to look at Liang Xuer.
There was a smile on his face, and Liang Xuer felt a chill in her heart.
At this moment, Xiao Chu walked in from outside. Lian Lili was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Chu’s sudden appearance, but Li Tingshen said,
“I’ve prepared the gown for the banquet tomorrow.”
Lian Lili was a little surprised.
Liang Xuer was in disbelief as her gaze landed on the box in Xiao Chu’s hand.
Xiao Chu looked up and met her gaze. She forced a stiff smile.
“This is the gown that CEO Li personally picked for you when he went home.”
Liang Xuer still couldn’t believe it. She turned to look at Li Tingshen questioningly.
Li Tingshen didn’t deny it. “It’s my first time attending a banquet. I should prepare well.”
These words confirmed Xiao Chu’s words.
Xiao Chu took a few steps forward and handed the box to Liang Xuer.
Liang Xuer took it and placed it on the coffee table. She opened the box carefully.
Inside was a white knee-length dress with an irregular shoulder strap that revealed her shoulders. There was a crystal brooch on her left chest.
The design was simple and luxurious.
Liang Xuer looked at the gown in front of her and her excitement subsided.
What she thought was a gown was a unique design. The long dress swayed with every step.
It was not a simple gown. Although it was definitely high-end, the effect was ordinary and inconspicuous.
It seemed that she was more biased…
She bit her lips and suppressed the name that surged out of her heart.
She kept the dress and smiled at Li Tingshen. “Thank you, I like it very much, but why…”
Why would he take the initiative to give her a gown and even go to Oka to choose one himself…
“As long as you like it.” Li Tingshen said calmly, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow night.”
Even Lili was puzzled by Li Tingshen’s behavior today. However, she couldn’t think of any other reason for his abnormal behavior today.
However, it was a relief to see him being so considerate for Liang Xuer.
When she told him to bring Xu’er to the banquet, she was worried that he would reject her. She didn’t expect him to agree in the end.
She had been surprised since then, but that was her ultimate goal. She didn’t seem to have anything else to say.
He was worried that Xu’er would be bullied by the rich young master of the Qin family.
The young master of the Qin family had been chasing after Xu’er recently and had even followed her to a few cities.
The Qin family had participated in this banquet and invited Xu’er. They should have rejected the invitation without hesitation, but it was said that the important theme of this banquet was the script auction.
Drama scripts, musical scripts, film scripts, and so on.
They had invited several famous directors, scriptwriters, producers, and actors in the country. Any of the scripts and guests were top resources in the country.
Not everyone could participate.
Liang Xuer wanted to take root in the drama industry. Even if it was an invitation from the Qin family, she didn’t want to reject such a good opportunity.
However, she was worried that Young Master Qin would take this opportunity to pester her. He might even spend money to buy resources to seduce or threaten her.
Liang Xuer didn’t want to see either possibility.
In order to prevent the Qin family’s young master from pestering her and make her retreat, she got Li Tingshen to be the “flower protector”.
She had already planned to force him to agree even if he didn’t agree. She didn’t expect him to agree so readily this time.
Not only was she happy, but she had also prepared a gown.
“Xiao Chu, remember to send Miss Liang home later.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Li Tingshen walked upstairs.
When she saw his back view disappear, Lian Lili frowned.
She felt that there was something important to discuss.
No matter who this dress suited, Liang Xuer was still very happy to receive a gown from Li Tingshen for the first time in her life.
After sending Liang Xuer away, Lian Lili finally remembered what topic had been fooled by Li Tingshen.
His face darkened. He glanced at the time and didn’t look for Li Tingshen.

After Ye Qingqiu finished her milk, Ye Ze sent her a message.
“There’s a banquet tomorrow. Young Master Li wants to bring Miss Xu’er along.”
The cup landed on the coffee table with a barely audible sound.
She stared at the screen for a long time before her narrowed eyes gradually widened.
“Tell me what you know. Tell me his reason.”
With that, she stood up from the sofa and went upstairs with her phone.
Back in the bedroom, she went straight into the bathroom.
She came out of the shower with a towel draped over her shoulder. Her hair was still dripping with water.
She walked to the bed and picked up her phone to see a message from Ye Ze.
“The banquet has nothing to do with the Chu family. The guests are all important figures in the entertainment industry. Miss Xu’er wants to attend, but she’s worried that Young Master Qin will pester her, so Young Master Li’s mother asked Young Master Li to accompany her.”
Ye Qingqiu sneered.
She threw the phone back on the bed and walked to the bathroom to dry her hair.
In less than five minutes, Ye Qingqiu walked out of the bathroom.
Her hair was no longer dripping, but it was still wet.
She sat by the bed for a while and played games on her phone. She reached out to touch her dry hair and lay down under the blanket.
When she woke up the next day, her head felt heavy. Thinking that she had not slept well yesterday, she turned over and slept for a while.
It was nearly ten o’clock when she woke up again.
After getting up and washing up, she went downstairs. When the butler saw her dispirited look, he couldn’t help but ask,
“Miss, are you sick?”
Ye Jianyun, who had just put down her cup, looked at her.
“What happened? Where do you feel unwell?”
Ye Qingqiu held onto the railing and walked down the stairs. “I’m fine. I might not have adapted to the new season and caught a cold.”
Uncle Ye hurried to the kitchen to order the ginger soup.
After dinner, Ye Qingqiu changed into warm clothes.
She was wearing a knee-length black X-shaped dress. There were a few buttons on the side of the dress, and there was a slit on the hem. When she walked, her fair and slender legs dazzled one’s eyes. She was wearing a black shirt. The light green and orange-red color combination made her look younger and more energetic.
Ye Jianyun was very satisfied with her obedient outfit today. “You’re going out?”
“Yes. I’m bored at home. If I like a piece of clothing, I’ll take a look myself.”
“You don’t feel uncomfortable anymore?”
“I’m fine.”
Her mind was a little dull and she didn’t feel anything else.
Ye Jianyun nodded. “Let Ye Ze follow.”
“Oh.”

When she reached Ao Li, Ye Qingqiu went straight to the exclusive shop for the dress she wore yesterday.
“Miss Ye, you’re here.”
The receptionist hurried over. Ye Qingqiu must be a regular here.
Ye Qingqiu replied calmly and walked around the shop. In the end, she sat on the sofa and said, “Let me try the dress I ordered for you last night.”
The receptionist was stunned. Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is there a problem?”
The receptionist reacted and smiled. “I’ll get it now.”
Not long after, Ye Qingqiu came out of the fitting room.
The saleswoman followed behind her, her eyes filled with admiration and envy.
There were also shop assistants waiting outside the fitting room. The moment the door opened, they were dazzled and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Miss Ye, this dress looks so beautiful on you.”
Actually, this new product had just arrived. When they first saw it, they didn’t think it was stunning or beautiful. The design was simple and there wasn’t anything outstanding, but the price was shockingly high. The only thing that was valuable was probably the brooch on her chest.
Whether she could buy it or not was a question.
Before they could start worrying, Ye Qingqiu called and ordered the outfit.
They couldn’t help but sigh. They really didn’t understand the taste of rich people.
Now that they had seen Ye Qingqiu wearing it, they finally started to admire their designer.
It was a simple design, but it was just right for her.
It was naturally advanced.
However, this was not something that ordinary people could wear.
She had been pampered by the Ye family since she was young. Even if she had a rag on her, she would still be beautiful.
“Miss Ye, you can wear this dress to some high-end banquets. You can wear it usually.” The salesperson smiled.
Ye Qingqiu stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at the details of the dress from a different angle. She nodded and said, “I want that dress too.”
A salesperson immediately took the dress from Ye Qingqiu, who had already entered the fitting room.
When she came out again, she had already changed into the clothes she had worn when she came.
When she went to the counter to settle the bill, the cashier reported the price of the clothes and handed the bag to Ye Qingqiu.
Hearing the price and the bag in front of her, Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows. “Did you make a mistake?”
The cashier was stunned. “What?”
The shop assistant hurried over. “What’s wrong, Miss Ye?”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t show any reaction. She placed the card on the counter and said calmly, “You didn’t give me the dress I ordered yesterday, nor did you calculate the price… You should get a lot of commission for that dress.”
The salesperson paused and asked in confusion, “That dress… do you want another one?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqiu’s hands paused. She raised her head and said slowly,
“I remember that I only called you yesterday to order this dress. I didn’t pay for it and I didn’t get the dress. What do you mean by another one?”
“Ah…” The salesperson seemed to have thought of something and suddenly covered her mouth. She hurriedly smiled and said,” I spoke too much… There was a customer who came to order this dress last night. I thought you asked him to come and take it. I’m sorry, Miss Ye.”
Ye Qingqiu had never cared about things that had nothing to do with her.
She could buy this dress and so could others. As for who bought it, she had no interest in knowing.
“Wrap it up and swipe the card.”
“Oh, okay.” The shop assistant nodded at the cashier. The cashier picked up the card and skillfully swiped away a sum of money that was enough for an ordinary family to live for a year.
When the salesperson went to wrap the clothes, another salesperson whispered to her, “You still have to take it. The one from last night…”
“Shh, maybe Young Master Li hasn’t had the time to give it to her? If it’s a surprise, wouldn’t we have ruined her plans?”
“But the price of this dress isn’t low. Wouldn’t it be…”
“Does she lack money? Besides, there’s nothing we can say. If we say anything bad, she’ll buy an extra dress. We’re all smart people. They won’t make things difficult for us.”
With that, she took the wrapped bag and walked out.
When she handed it to Ye Qingqiu, she said, “We only gave Ping Cheng two dresses. In a sense, it’s a unique custom-made dress.”
Ye Ze took the bag from behind.
Ye Qingqiu smiled in boredom and remained silent.
This flattery was an undisguised hypocrisy.
He said that there were two pieces, but he told her that they were custom-made?
He felt that she was really a brainless idiot.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t leave Ao Li immediately. She bought some cosmetics and a pair of shoes that matched the dress.
A dress with high heels was indeed the most beautiful.
Although high heels were a little troublesome, she felt that it was worth it.
She was probably not used to it the last time. Perhaps she would hurt herself a few more times and bleed more. One day, she would be able to control them perfectly and be beautiful.
