Chapter 849: Should I go and beg my sister?

The black Porsche slid smoothly to the side of the road, its sharp body lines gleaming with a cold, metallic luster under the streetlights. This car had a landing price of nearly six million, a New Year's gift Shen Ci had given to Li Xiao last year.

"Wang Ziyu, get in!"

Li Xiao pushed open the car door and gestured with his chin toward Wang Ziyu, who was standing by the roadside. Wang Ziyu pulled the door open and sat inside, feeling somewhat uneasy. She didn't know much about cars, but from the delicate interior and the heavy, solid feel, she could clearly tell this was an incredibly expensive luxury vehicle.

"Good thing I didn't drink today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drive you home." Li Xiao grinned, revealing a row of neat, white teeth. "Fasten your seatbelt, then tell me your address, and I'll take you back."

Wang Ziyu murmured an "Mm" and lowered her head to grope around at her side. But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the seatbelt buckle. The car's design was a bit unique; the buckle was hidden, requiring a light press on a side button for it to pop out automatically.

Seeing this, Li Xiao leaned over directly. Being tall with long arms, he was able to maintain a safe distance while helping Wang Ziyu fasten the belt.

Even so, the cramped space in the front seat suddenly pulled the distance between them close. Li Xiao's fair-skinned profile was suddenly right next to her, making Wang Ziyu feel slightly awkward and shy.

She hurriedly tried to find a topic: "I've never seen a seatbelt like this. This car must be very expensive, right?"

"You bet! It's super expensive!" Li Xiao didn't hide it at all, his tone carrying a bit of childish pride as he said bluntly, "My sister gave it to me."

"Sister Shen Li?" Wang Ziyu asked subconsciously. "She... hasn't she only debuted for less than two years? She gave you such an expensive car?"

"No." Li Xiao shook his head and explained with a smile, "Not your Sister Shen Li, but another sister—the one who just went to help you."

Wang Ziyu realized, then looked at Li Xiao with a hint of envy: "That's so nice, your sisters are all so good to you."

Mentioning his sisters, Li Xiao's pride radiated from his very bones: "I actually have a biological sister too. I haven't told you that, have I?"

Wang Ziyu shook her head.

Then she heard Li Xiao say: "Sometimes I think I might just be lucky. I'm the youngest in the family, and I grew up with three sisters and one brother. They've all let me have my way since we were little."

"Are you the only one in your family?" Li Xiao asked Wang Ziyu.

"Mm." Wang Ziyu lowered her eyes, her slender fingers unconsciously picking at the corner of her clothes, her voice dropping a little. "I have cousins who are older and younger than me, too. But... our relationship isn't as good as yours and your sisters'."

Hearing this, Li Xiao fell silent for a moment. In his mind, that scene he had seen at the entrance of the restroom flashed involuntarily.

That man who had been pawing at Wang Ziyu like a beast was actually her own uncle, and her manager at that.

He opened his mouth, really wanting to ask Wang Ziyu what exactly was going on, but the words died on his lips.

Regarding this kind of thing, unless Ziyu told him herself, it was better not to be too curious.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help but say: "Didn't you keep my contact information? If you run into this kind of situation again in the future, tell me."

Wang Ziyu raised her eyes, a flash of hesitation crossing her clear pupils: "Those people are all very powerful. I don't want to cause you trouble."

Her thinking was very simple. The people in that private room today were all big shots in the film and television industry. Sister Shen Li was an actress, just like her. If Sister Shen Li offended these people because of her affairs, it would truly be too unworthy.

She couldn't afford to bear this favor, and even less could she accept it with a clear conscience.

"I know, I might not have the ability to help you solve it directly." Li Xiao's head was quite clear; he didn't make any big promises, but said honestly, "Although I can't, I can find my sister. I mean, my Sister Shen Ci. She definitely has a way." ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
