Contrary to her expectations, she did not see Li Beinian even after bringing her people to the pool.
That little b*tch can’t have developed wings and flown away.
She must still be here!
Refusing to give up, Li Xueqing looked into the distance.
“Look, there’s someone over there!” a voice shrieked, catching everyone’s attention.
They all saw a deck chair by the poolside and a tall and burly man who had a towel draped over his body.
He was young, tall, reserved and emitted an aura of dominance.
Could he be Mu Donglin?
Li Xueqing’s heart wrenched up and began palpitating at the sight of him.
Mu Donglin, Young Master Mu!
Li Xueqing took a step forward and asked, “May I ask if you’ve seen my sister?”
Everyone was shocked to hear her words.
The people who stood behind her, hurriedly pulled her back and rebuked, “Are you out of your mind? Who would be so brazen as to sneak here? Your sister is a member of the Li Family. She wouldn’t be that silly!”
Li Xueqing pretended to hesitate silently for a moment but she was already well aware that it had nothing to do with Li Beinian being brainless. If she wanted Li Beinian to be there, the latter had no choice!
Li Xueqing cocked her head towards the side with a menacing expression in her eyes and said, “Niannian is insensible. She may have very likely sneaked here for the sake of shirking her responsibility. If she were to run into some big shot… ”
Upon hearing her words, the people behind her praised, “You’re so nice to your sister!”
“Ah, it’s such a pity that she’s pea-brained. Of all the places, why did she choose to hit someone during such an important banquet… ”
Due to the fact that they were standing a distance away, they did not notice the look of annoyance in the man’s eyes.
He turned around to look at Li Beinian who was hiding behind a shelf and asked in a low and rumbling voice, “Are they looking for me?”
Li Beinian was fortunately fully hidden from sight behind the shelf.
