Chapter 131: Turning the Tide in Time
Even if Lin Yi minded, he couldn’t possibly say it in Jian Yiyi’s face.
Xia Qinghuan, on the other hand, immediately said impatiently, “Alright, today is Lin Yi’s birthday. No one should spoil the fun because of themselves.” As she spoke, Xia Qinghuan looked at Li Yunmei meaningfully and said, “Even if some people are unhappy, please keep it in your heart. It won’t do anyone any good to fall out with one another.”
Li Yunmei was angry. Now, Xia Qinghuan was also being sarcastic to her. They did not invite her in the first place, so she felt even more embarrassed. Just as she was about to say something, Jian Yiyi pulled the corner of her shirt down secretly. “Xiao Mei, stop talking!”
Jian Yiyi already regretted bringing Li Yunmei here. It was not easy for her to get this opportunity. She initially thought she could use this opportunity to approach Lin Yi and improve his impression of her. However, Li Yunmei ruined the show as soon as it started.
The atmosphere turned awkward. Fortunately, the bus stopped.
Jian Yiyi regained her excitement and waved at everyone. “Everyone, get off the bus. We’re here.”
In front of her was a four-story European-style villa. The exterior was milky white and luxurious. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room on the first floor. Through the window, one could see the luxurious interior.
There was an artificial swimming pool outside the villa, and there were neatly trimmed lawns on all four sides. The view was extremely wide. Because of the height, one could see the beautiful night view of the resort hotel when looking down.
Everyone’s gloominess was swept away when they saw the villa and the surrounding scenery.
“Sure!” Yan Tian immediately raised his eyebrows. He walked to Lin Yi’s side and said, “It seems that Jian Yiyi has indeed thought about it. We might not be able to book such an excellent location for a villa.”
Lin Yi didn’t answer Yan Tian but instinctively turned around to look at Jian Ai. Jian Ai was taking a photo of Xia Qinghuan and Guan Tao with the camera Xia Qinghuan had brought. Her warm side profile was very gentle, and there was a smile on her lips.
Only then did Lin Yi heave a sigh of relief. For some reason, Jian Ai’s mood affected him.
It was as if he could only feel at ease if Jian Ai was happy.
Seeing that everyone was smiling again and seemed very satisfied with the accommodation she had arranged, Jian Yiyi heaved a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had saved the situation in time. Otherwise, all her careful preparations would have been in vain.
Everyone took some photos outside before following Jian Yiyi into the villa. The entire villa was decorated in a vintage European style. Oil paintings and wall sculptures could be seen everywhere, making people feel like they were in a palace. Even the wine glasses on the coffee table were made of white porcelain and looked very luxurious and solemn.
“The guest rooms are on the third and fourth floor. Everyone, take a rest.” Jian Yiyi was like a tour guide arranging everyone’s schedule. Then, she looked at Lin Yi shyly and said, “I’ve specially arranged a birthday party for Lin Yi later.”
These words sounded very flirtatious in the ears of others. Even Lin Yi frowned slightly when he heard it.
It was as if only Jian Yiyi was celebrating his birthday and not everyone else.
Even Li Yunmei looked at Jian Yiyi in surprise. She couldn’t help but think that Jian Yiyi had fallen for Lin Yi as well.
With this thought in mind, Li Yunmei felt as if something was blocking her heart. There was already Jian Ai, and now even her best friend was coming out to snatch Lin Yi from her.
