Chapter 483 A Sheer Waste of a Beauty


    "I was in town for business, so I swung by Yanqi Lake," replied Xu Lei with some random excuse.


    Xu Lei didn''t tell them about the Yanjing fighting match.


    Since it wasn''t something that could be easily exined, she chose to say nothing about it.


    "Oh, you''re on a business trip in Yanjing. It''s true that new hires almost always get bullied in the


    Rookies get tormented in the workce, and it''s prettymon in my husband''spany. It''s always


    rough at the beginning, but things improve with experience," said Guo Ya-Wen eloquently.


    Guo Ya-Wen worded it as though she was giving Xu Lei advice when she was actually bragging about


    how well her family was doing in reality and unted her wealth with subtlety.


    Guo Ya-Wen thought Xu Lei would ask about her husband''spany, but she was in for a


    disappointment.


    Xu Lei merely nodded and smiled without saying a word.


    This undoubtedly left her slightly downcast.


    But it was alright since Guo Ya-Wen quickly found some other way to get to that conversation.


    "Oh, I got too excited about chatting and forgot to introduce him," said Guo Ya-Wen as she smiled. "Lei,


    this is my hubby, Lei Dong-Bao. He''s an entrepreneur who handles tens of millions in turnover daily. It''s


    too stressful, so he looks a little haggard."


    Guo Ya-Wen smiled as she introduced him. Lei Dong-Bao stepped forward to hand Xu Lei his name


    card and smiled as he shook her hand. Then he said, "Since you''re Wenwen''s friend, call me Dong-


    Bao. You can reach me anytime at that number on the name card. I have some friends over in


    Jiangdong, so you can call anytime if you face problems. There''s no need to be shy with Wenwen and


    me. Also, I heard that you work in a third-rate city. There''s no room for progression in a tiny ce like


    that. If you want to have a better future, you should go to big cities like Yanjing or Zhonghai."


    Although it was merely a few words, Lei Dong-Bao was quite the show-off.


    Lei Dong-Bao sounded as though he was some important man from the business world teaching a


    rookie.


    Guo Ya-Wen chimed in and said, "Exactly, Lei. My hubby is right. Yunzhou is so small thatpared to


    Yanjing, it''s simply too backward. If you want toe work in Yanjing, just say the word. My hubby is


    the CEO, so I can get him to set you up as my assistant. Then we can carve a career together. Won''t it


    be a lot better than a tiny ce like Yunzhou?"


    Although Guo Ya-Wen smiled as she spoke gently, she sounded superior.


    Guo Ya-Wen sounded as though Xu Lei


    was inferior to people from Yanjing like them.


    Xu Lei made noment and only smiled and thanked Guo Ya-Wen.


    "Oh yes, Lei. You haven''t introduced him yet. And this is..." asked Guo Ya-Wen quizzically when she


    caught sight of Ye Fan.


    "This is Fan, and he''s like a brother to me. He''s from Yunzhou too and came over to Yanjing with me,"


    replied Xu Lei.


    "Fan? I''ve never heard about you having a brother before," said Guo Ya-Wen in surprise instantly.


    Guo Ya-Wen always thought Xu Lei was the only child in her family and didn''t know she had an older


    brother.


    "Erm, Wenwen, don''t be mistaken. Fan isn''t my brother," exined Xu Lei.


    Guo Ya-Wen asked even more quizzically, "Then is he your cousin?"


    "Stop asking, Wenwen. Are you trying to make Lei admit that he''s her lover boy?" said Meng Han as


    she teased andughed.


    Xu Lei instantly blushed and kept exining, "Meng Han, stop saying nonsense..."


    But Xu Lei failed to exin and only made matters worse.


    "Okay okay okay, we will call him Lei''s boyfriend instead since she''s too shy about calling him her lover


    boy." Meng Han shared a bunk bed with Xu Lei when they were in university, so they were closest to


    each other in the hostel.


    So Meng Han wasn''t worried about poking fun at her.


    But poor Xu Lei blushed as pink as a peach after getting teased by Meng Han.


    Guo Ya-Wen was undoubtedly surprised to see Xu Lei react like this.


    She didn''t expect Xu Lei tond herself a boyfriend like Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan had a vulgar dress sense and even wore a pair of Hongxing Erke trainers.


    Guo Ya-Wen was well-acquainted with this brand. It was the hot favorite of impoverished students.


    After all, they were longsting, trendy, and affordable for just $100 a pair, so it was the brand of choice


    for poor students.


    But in Guo Ya-Wen''s perspective, they were the ultimate sign of being a pauper.


    Guo Ya-Wen was the sort who undoubtedly despised anything that wasn''t an internationally acimed


    brand.


    Despite Guo Ya-Wen''s shock, she felt even snootier in her heart.


    So what if Xu Lei was pretty and the belle of the faculty?


    Despite her beauty, she ended up dating a loser like Ye Fan.


    Xu Lei was destined to be forever trampled by Guo Ya-Wen!


    Guo Ya-Wen clearly appeared more proud and smug at the thought of that, and the sense of


    superiority intensified in her heart. Then she said, "Lei, you must have nned on doing some boating


    on Yanqi Lake. Didn''t you know that theke is closed today? I heard Yanqi Lake was closed off


    because a fighting match is taking ce at the center of theke, somoners can forget about


    going onto theke. Only the richest and most powerful of Yanjing have the chance to board the cruise


    ship and see the fight."


    "Oh, I see," replied Xu Lei. She wanted to say she wasn''t nning on going boating, but decided


    against it. Since there was no sense in exining herself so clearly, she merely acknowledged Guo Ya-


    Wen.


    But Guo Ya-Wen misunderstood Xu Lei and thought she appeared shocked.


    "Lei, there''s no need to be shocked. It''s perfectly normal that you didn''t know about it. After all, news


    about the high society only gets spread within its circles, andmoners like you naturally know


    nothing. But don''t lose heart, my hubby is well-connected, so those rich and powerful people will be


    happy to do him a favor if he calls. It''s no problem for us to get you a couple of tickets to board the


    ship. You and your lover boy just need to sit tight and wait to board the ship with us this afternoon," said


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Guo Ya-Wen slowly with a calm tone as though it was something insignificant.


    "Yes, Lei. Wenwen''s husband is incredible. I managed to get tickets for the ship all because of her


    hubby. So if Wenwen says she will handle it, you can sit tight and stop worrying about the tickets,"


    chimed Meng Han immediately.


    Then Meng Han suggested that they visit the smallmercial town outside the scenic spot together.


    "We need to board the cruise ship in the afternoon, so we have plenty of free time. Lei, why don''t you


    join us? The small town next to Yanqi Lake is loads of fun," said Meng Han warmly as she invited them.


    Xu Lei didn''t reply and only nced at Ye Fan with a look of anticipation on her face.


    Xu Lei clearly wanted to explore the small town nearby.


    Ye Fan instantly nodded and smiled, "If you want to go, then let''s do it together."
