Chapter 60: Zhang Xiaoli Gets Provoked

"Tap-tap-tap."

Lin Dazhi sat before the computer, his fingers flying.

After checking the progress of the company's renovation and grabbing a quick bite by the roadside, Lin Dazhi returned home and entered work mode.

The "Time Reversal Instrument" rewarded by the system was already firmly imprinted in his mind; Lin Dazhi only needed to organize it now.

Lin Dazhi spent the entire afternoon busy at the computer, to the point that he didn't even notice when Bai Weiwei returned.

It wasn't until two soft things pressed against his back and his nose caught a familiar, fragrant scent that Lin Dazhi realized Bai Weiwei was back.

Stretching, he reached back to pull the enchantress into his arms, and after giving her a good rub, Lin Dazhi asked with a smile, "Why are you back so late? Did you finish your business?"

Teased by Lin Dazhi, Bai Weiwei's breathing grew rapid; her beautiful eyes, watery and bright, stared at Lin Dazhi's face with a look of longing.

Seeing her like this, Lin Dazhi couldn't be bothered to ask about anything else; he picked up her delicate body and strode into the master bedroom on the second floor.

Just as the two were engaged in deep spiritual exchange, Bai Weiwei's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? Xiao~~~li, hmm~~~ is something the matter?"

On the other end of the line, Zhang Xiaoli heard that Bai Weiwei's voice sounded a bit off and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Sister Weiwei, what's wrong? Why does your voice sound a bit strange?"

"No~~~thing, hmm~~~ I'm just~~~ just~~~ exercising."

"Oh, I'm fine too, just wanted to ask if you'd made it home, Sister Weiwei."

"I~~~ ah~~~, I'm home~~~~"

"Oh, that's good. Sister Weiwei, you bought a Supreme VIP card at our shop today, and even our store manager praised me heavily for it. I'm calling mainly to thank you properly. Sister Weiwei, um, do you have time this evening? I'd like to treat you and Lin to a meal."

"This evening~~~ I~~~ I'm free, let me ask~~~ let me ask your Lin~~~ ah~~~ no, I have something to do, I'll stop talking now~~~"

Beep, beep, beep.

A busy signal came from the other end of the line, and Zhang Xiaoli felt a bit strange.

When they were talking just now, why did Sister Weiwei's voice sound so strange?

Could she really be exercising?

But what kind of exercise would make that kind of sound?

Zhang Xiaoli shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and instead started wondering where she should take them to eat if Bai Weiwei agreed to go out tonight.

Just at this moment, Zhang Xiaoli's phone rang again.

She took a look; it was Zhou Xiaojun calling.

"Hey, baby, where are you? Why didn't you wait for me at noon and just left by yourself?"

As soon as she answered the phone, Zhang Xiaoli heard Zhou Xiaojun's cheeky voice.

A sense of revulsion immediately rose in her heart.

There is no harm without comparison; when she was with Zhou Xiaojun before, she was used to his lack of seriousness and Zhang Xiaoli even found it quite interesting—that "bad boy" vibe gave her a sense of novelty.

But as time went on, Zhou Xiaojun's nature of being lazy and good-for-nothing became increasingly obvious. Moreover, when shopping with him, Zhang Xiaoli could clearly feel that Zhou Xiaojun wasn't well-off. Although he always boasted to her about how well-off his family was, the two of them never spent more than two hundred yuan when shopping and eating, usually sticking to small street-side shops. Although he had bought her a few things, they were basically worthless little trinkets and cheap clothes.

If she hadn't met Lin Dazhi, Zhang Xiaoli actually wouldn't have felt there was anything wrong with Zhou Xiaojun; after all, she was an ordinary person herself, her circumstances were average, and the people she usually met were ordinary people just like her and Zhou Xiaojun.

But after meeting Lin Dazhi, Zhang Xiaoli received a massive shock!

To this day, she still couldn't forget the Cullinan's luxurious interior and its dreamy starlight roof.

And the scene where, when Bai Weiwei drove away that red Mercedes G-Wagon, the dozen or so employees in the shop all bowed to her in unison.

Bai Weiwei had bought a Supreme VIP card at her shop, pulled out her credit card to pay without even blinking, showing no sign of pain at all, just like buying a six-yuan milk tea on the street!

They were both women, so why could she live a life like that, while she herself still had to work hard every day doing facials and massages for customers, busy all month just to earn a few thousand yuan, not even able to bring herself to buy the latest iPhone?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoli said crossly, "Didn't I already tell you? My shop was especially busy this afternoon; I just finished with a customer, and my arms are killing me!"

On the other end of the line, Zhou Xiaojun chuckled and said, "Then are you done now? I've called a few friends for tonight, let's go grab some skewers, didn't you say you wanted to eat barbecue a couple of days ago?"

"You guys go, I don't want to go." Thinking of her plan to invite Bai Weiwei to dinner, Zhang Xiaoli refused directly.

"Don't be like that, come on. I'm telling you, you'll regret it if you don't come, there's a surprise!" Zhou Xiaojun said mysteriously over the phone.

"What surprise?" Zhang Xiaoli was teased by Zhou Xiaojun's words and couldn't help but ask.

"Come over, and you'll know." Zhou Xiaojun deliberately kept Zhang Xiaoli in suspense.

"Then I want an iPhone 16." Zhang Xiaoli made a direct demand.

"Then you come over first, and I'll buy it for you when you get here," Zhou Xiaojun said with a laugh.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoli heard Zhou Xiaojun's words, she knew he was fooling her again.

"I really can't go, I have a dinner appointment with a friend tonight," Zhang Xiaoli said.

"Who?" Zhou Xiaobing asked.

"My friend, why do you keep prying?" Zhang Xiaoli said unhappily.

"I'm just concerned about you," Zhou Xiaojun chuckled.

"If you were really concerned about me, you'd buy me an iPhone 16," Zhang Xiaoli said crossly.

"You come over, and I'll buy it for you when you get here," Zhou Xiaojun remained unserious.

"You only know how to lie to fool me, I can't be bothered to talk to you!" Zhang Xiaoli hung up the phone angrily.

On the other end of the line, Zhou Xiaojun froze for a moment, then let out a string of profanities.

"Damn bitch, acting all high and mighty with me, giving her face and she doesn't want it, just a stinking masseuse acting all high-class!"

"What's wrong, Xiaojun? Got looked down on by your girlfriend?"

"You're not doing so well, are you? Where's that masculine charm of yours?"

"Every day you just brag about how pretty your girlfriend is, but she won't even come out for a meal—are you two actually dating or what?"

The jeering and teasing from his fair-weather friends only made Zhou Xiaojun feel more irritable.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Keep nagging and I'm going to flip out. You all just wait, watch how I deal with her." Zhou Xiaojun could not save face, so he stubbornly threw out these harsh words.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaoli received a positive reply from Bai Weiwei and immediately perked up!

Sister Weiwei agreed!

And, Lin is coming too!
