Anger rose in Gu'er. 'You can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep,' she thought. 'If Zhang Lili has a friend like this, it just goes to show what she's really like. Thank goodness Li Zhi wasn't bewitched by her looks. If he'd married someone like that, his life would have been impossible.'
"What are you talking about?! Gu'er is my sister, and she's one of the managers here. Show some respect and stop attacking people like a mad dog. Besides, Zhang Lili and I are not a couple, so leave me out of this."
Li Zhi was furious now. He secretly congratulated himself on not getting involved with Zhang Lili. Bringing someone like this into his life would mean he could kiss any hope of a peaceful life goodbye.
"Li Zhi, you…"
Seeing Li Zhi reject her in front of so many people, Zhang Lili cried out his name. Her large, innocent eyes fixed on him, tears welling but never quite falling—a sight designed to tug at one's heartstrings.
