Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 309 - Rare Friendship

Before Li Qiao could state his point, Xu Mey continued on, "None of us care that you forgot to share such huge news with us. But... What about the fact that we heard it from a third person?" Li Qiao pursed his lips, not daring to speak at all anymore. He knew it! This fact alone was going to be the problem.

Xu Mey suddenly sn.i.g.g.e.red, "Not even third person... I actually heard it from my dad. How do you think my dad got this news?"

Li Qiao was surprised himself that Xu Mey's father was the one who told Xu Mey but he knew who could be the one to relay this news to her father. "Auntie Bingbing." He spoke softly.

"Exactly! It was indeed Auntie Bingbing. And do you know who did she hear it from?" Li Qiao shook his head. "She heard it from your mother, Auntie Manman." Li Qiao raised his brows in surprise again. How did his mother get this news? "Oh, and your mother actually got this news because your cousin was standing beside her when he received Kim's message."

'That explains it.' Li Qiao thought to himself.

"So, the point is... It feels like we were the last ones to find out." Xu Mey really felt wrong as she said it all out. It was almost like the whole world knew except for them.

"But I didn't tell anyone." Li Qiao could only come up with this to defend himself.

None of them noticed that a figure had been leaning against Wu w.a.n.g's car, silently listening to them in amus.e.m.e.nt. Suddenly they heard someone laughing and that's when they noticed Yang Ziyi's presence. "Mr. Li, don't you think that the issue here is the fact that you didn't tell anyone? You should really find a better defending argument."

Xu Mey nodded her head agreeing with Yang Ziyi completely. The problem lied in the fact that he didn't take the initiative to tell anyone.

Li Qiao pressed his lips and taking Yang Ziyi's advice, he changed his statement. "Guys, I was caught up in the moment. I really wanted to tell you but it was midnight, I didn't think it was right to disturb you all."

Yang Ziyi again chuckled as she said, "Although I shouldn't say it, from what I just gathered, how is it possible that your fiancee got the time to text her best friend but you couldn't even text them? What really held you back?" Thinking of something, she tried to stifle her laughter.

"What came to your mind?" Wu w.a.n.g eyed her suspiciously.

"Nothing." Yang Ziyi shook her head trying hard not to laugh.

Wu w.a.n.g narrowed his eyes at her and said, "If you didn't spill it now, your city tour will be canceled."

Under this threat, Yang Ziyi delivered a kick straight to Wu w.a.n.g's knee making him wince in pain. She really didn't want to share her weird thoughts so she changed the topic, "Oh, I'm sorry. For a moment, I forgot that it's not my place to interfere."

As she was backing away, Xu Mey held her arm and said, "Just because you don't have a place now, doesn't mean that there won't be a place in future." Yang Ziyi might not have understood her meaning but how could Wu w.a.n.g not know the meaning behind Xu Mey's suggestive words. It was very obvious!

"Well... I still should be at a side." Yang Ziyi turned to Wu w.a.n.g and said, "I'll wait for you there." Saying that she turned to give them privacy but before going she stopped by Li Qiao's side and whispered, "Mr. Li, you not sharing your happiness with them is almost like you saying, 'Oh, I didn't tell you... Then it must be none of your business.' So, now choose your words very carefully. They are being petty because you mean a lot to them."

Li Qiao was left stumped since Yang Ziyi's words made him realize one thing, he really was being the worthless piece of sh*t to his friends. He took a deep breath and tried again, "I know I'm the biggest jerk at the moment but it wasn't my intention to be one. When Xiamu told me to just go and confess my feelings, I didn't think of anything else and I ran..." This way, he kept explaining the way he proposed obviously he omitted the parts that were too graphic.

After telling his story, the reply he heard was, "You didn't even give her flowers?"

Li Qiao looked at them disbelievingly. 'Seriously, guys? Does it matter right now?'

"Tsk... Tsk... I can't believe you proposed her at her own apartment, with an old ring, no roses and what? No cake or champagne to go with it. What a big disappointment you are!" Xu Mey lamented in disappointment.

"And here I thought you must have done elaborate planning for the proposal, after all, you've been keeping all your feelings inside you for years. You really disappointed me!" Even Wu w.a.n.g shook his head.

"I'm ashamed to be his friend." Lin Shen remarked in dissatisfaction.

"I'm more surprised that Kim actually said yes at his lousy proposal. She really is gullible." Who said He Jian won't make a comment? Even he was ready to strike at the moment.

"Are you guys done?" Li Qiao asked after digesting their ruthless remarks.

"I think so..." Xu Mey spoke for all of them.

All of them stood to play the staring game and after staring for a while, all of them burst out laughing. "Qiao Ge, if I was Kim I would have slapped you in the face for playing with emotions instead of saying yes so easily."

"As I said, Kim is really gullible."

A bit farther away from them, Yang Ziyi couldn't help but smile to herself as she saw them laughing. Now she understood why they were avoiding Li Qiao. Once he was before their eyes, none of them had the ability to stay angry with him. It was a strange, petty and childish friends.h.i.+p but Yang Ziyi felt warmth gus.h.i.+ng in her heart at this scene.

It's better to eat crumbs with b.u.ms then eating steaks with snakes... Now, Yang Ziyi knew the meaning of this. This group of friends was like b.u.ms but none of them was like a backstabbing snake. It really was a rare friends.h.i.+p. Making one green with envy.
