Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1516 - 1515

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Well then, thanks a lot. If Miss Cui doesn’t mind, Zixia and I will go up and rest first, we still have things to do."

Cui Wenwen had just fallen into a pit and suffered a big loss; how could she let Lin Fan off so easily.

"Wait!"

Cui Wenwen said, "There’s something I still don’t understand, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!"

Li Zixia was a bit speechless. Was Cui Wenwen’s showing off in front of her today not enough yet? She hadn’t refuted or explained anything, as long as Wenwen was happy, fine. After all, you could tell that before, Cui Wenwen lived in her shadow—pretty pitiful—so just let her feel good for once.

That really was Li Zixia’s mindset. Facing some pitiful people, there’s no need to smack them in the face just to feel爽; ignoring them and letting them jump around on their own is also a pretty good way of dealing with things.

Li Zixia had never realized how much she had made Cui Wenwen suffer before. Back then, she really was a little Rich Lady; every time she went out with Cui Wenwen, she picked up the tab. It was because Cui Wenwen kept crying poor, and out of sisterly feelings she insisted on paying. Back then Cui Wenwen gladly accepted it, but who knew she’d always seen it as a condescending favor and kept it as a grudge in her heart.

Li Zixia was pretty depressed too. So she’d spent the money and still hadn’t earned any goodwill?

Sometimes being a person is really hard, and getting along with people is especially hard, because if you’re not careful you might offend someone and never even know what you did wrong, yet they’ll hold it against you for a lifetime.

After all, humans are the most complicated animals in this world.

In nature, when a predator attacks you, its only motive is hunger, so predators are actually easy to deal with.

But in human society, when someone attacks you, they might have countless motives. Tiring, isn’t it? It’s really exhausting!

Look at those doomsday movies, like zombie films. The scariest thing is never the zombies, it’s always the people. Zombies are easy to handle; they don’t think, they attack you for a single motive. But people are complicated, with countless reasons to scheme against you, a thousand times harder to guard against than zombies.

So many people say that if there’s a next life, they’d rather be a little bird, living simple and easy, without such complicated human hearts.

Now, Cui Wenwen still hadn’t shown off enough and wanted to keep tangling; Li Zixia really had no way to deal with her.

"Little Wen, what else do you want?" Li Zixia said helplessly.

After what had happened today, she was already thinking that she wouldn’t keep in touch with Cui Wenwen in future. There was really no need. The little boat of friendship had capsized just like that.

Cui Wenwen said, "There’s something I don’t get, Zixia. With your conditions, even if you’re down and out now, you shouldn’t be going for this level of shabby, broke boyfriend, right? What exactly do you see in this guy?"

Li Zixia said, "I..."

She’d just started to explain when Cui Wenwen cut her off: "Even though you’re down now and really poor, I know, after all, the Company’s gone bankrupt, your father passed away, and your uncle can’t be relied on—he was the one who helped you squander things away. But you shouldn’t have fallen this far. We’re good sisters, I really care about you. Look at you, you’re still as pretty as before, still talented. You could totally be like me and find a rich heir."

Li Zixia said, "Little Wen, I want to explain this to you..."

Cui Wenwen once again cut Li Zixia off: "Zixia, don’t worry, I’m someone who repays favors. Didn’t you introduce me to Jinyu Group back then? I’d just graduated and had no job; that job really helped me through the rookie stage. Now I’m going to pay you back, so no one can say I owe you. I’ve got connections now, I can arrange a job for you. Do you want it? If you do, I can make a call for you right now..."

Helping Li Zixia wasn’t Cui Wenwen’s main purpose in saying all this. Her main purpose was to show off, to flaunt how capable she was now!

She wanted to pay back, one by one, all the "humiliations" she’d suffered with Li Zixia before.

It wasn’t that Li Zixia had treated her badly then, it was that her own inferiority complex was acting up. When she wasn’t as good as Li Zixia, she felt inferior every day, felt like she was worse in every way, and it had weighed on her for a long time.

Being interrupted over and over, Li Zixia was getting impatient. She really wanted to give Cui Wenwen a slap to quiet her down.

"Hold on, stop for a second!"

Li Zixia couldn’t help raising her volume to shut Cui Wenwen up.

Cui Wenwen did quiet down and looked at Li Zixia.

Li Zixia said, "Calm down first and listen to me, okay? After I’m done, you can talk all you want!"

Cui Wenwen snorted through her nose. "Go ahead then."

Li Zixia said, "I need to explain: Brother Fan is not my boyfriend."

Cui Wenwen froze. "What? Not your boyfriend? If he’s not your boyfriend, you still came to get a room with him? No way, Zixia, I didn’t know you were this open..."

Li Zixia’s face flushed. She hurriedly said, "Cut it out! Can you not let your mind run wild? Does coming to a hotel mean you can only do that kind of thing you’re imagining? Didn’t Brother Fan just say it? I’m currently homeless, and he doesn’t own a place in Hang City either, so we can only stay in a hotel. And we’re in separate rooms, one room each. Don’t overthink it."

She finally managed to clarify things, and Li Zixia felt a wave of relief. With Cui Wenwen rattling on like that while Lin Fan was standing right there, she’d been mortified.

Cui Wenwen let out an oh. She’d really been hoping Lin Fan was Li Zixia’s boyfriend, because if Zixia had found such a shabby, broke boyfriend, it’d prove Zixia was miserable now. Only if Zixia was miserable could Wenwen feel her own superiority.

But now that Li Zixia said Lin Fan wasn’t her boyfriend, that sense of superiority instantly took a big hit.

Cui Wenwen said with an unwilling little laugh, "Zixia, you’re not saying that just so you don’t lose face, right? What’re you afraid of, don’t tell me you dare do it but don’t dare admit it?"

Li Zixia: "..."

Even the hotel front desk clerk next to them couldn’t stand it anymore and said, "This Miss Li and Mr. Lin really did book two rooms..."

"Shut up!" Cui Wenwen glared at the clerk. "Who said you could talk? No manners at all!"

The hotel front desk clerk was so scared she quickly shut up and lowered her head. After all, this Cui Wenwen might very well be her boss in the future.

Li Zixia was completely disappointed in Cui Wenwen. Once someone starts talking down to frontline staff like that, in her eyes that person is already in negative points. It showed just how snobbish Cui Wenwen was.

Li Zixia said, "Little Wen, now you get it."

Cui Wenwen said, "Then what exactly is your relationship, why are you staying in a hotel together? A single man and a single woman—of course people will misunderstand."

Li Zixia said, "Here’s the thing, let me introduce him first. I was just about to and you cut me off. He’s Lin Fan. As for our current relationship, it’s..."

Lin Fan said, "Partners."

"Partners," Li Zixia echoed, her cheeks reddening again. She’d originally wanted to say that Lin Fan was her boss now, but Lin Fan calling her a partner gave her plenty of face.

"Tch!" Cui Wenwen cast Lin Fan a disdainful glance. This shabby guy, and he’s your ’partner’?

"What kind of partner? Don’t tell me you’re partners selling rice-noodle rolls by the street?" Cui Wenwen giggled.

She didn’t notice that standing beside her, Chen Junhao’s expression had changed in an instant the moment he heard Lin Fan’s name.
