Chapter 575 - Threw away a pearl and picked a stone (1/2)

After exchanging a few more words, Mu Zhichen took back his phone. ”You didn't only call to ask me about the engagement party, right?”

”Right. When are you free to talk? There's something I need your help with.” Obviously, she wasn't going to do an endorsement with another man. It would only have the effect Lu Aotian wanted if it was the man she would marry.

”Just tell me when you want to talk. I'll be available.” The man spoke.

He couldn't be any sweeter. ”Alright. Can it be tomorrow? The sooner you get ready for it the better.”

”Sure. Coincidentally, I'll accompany mother to bring the gifts.”

”Okay. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.”

”Mmh. Goodnight.” In the next second, Lu Meili heard a soft smack sound from the other end.

Her ears turned scarlet. Did that man just blow her a kiss?

No one told her young master Mu was so playful...

The next day, Lu Meili sent the invitation cards. She didn't have many friends so she only sent them to Lu Shaoting's family, the Blanc family and Lu Aotian's friends. If he and Wan Jia wanted to invite other people, they would send the invitations themselves.

There were three people remaining from her side - Small Xixi, her childhood friend Shen Yue and Xu Tang.

Shen Yue was overseas studying so she probably wouldn't attend it. As for Xu Tang and Small Xixi...

This was the hardest part. They were her friends and had to be invited for such an event. However, Xu Tang was also the man who just didn't want to give up on her. Would they attend?

After thinking for a while, she decided that there was only one way to find out.

There was still a few hours before the Mus came, so she rushed to Small Xixi's school.

”Sis Meili, it's really you! I thought I would never see you again.” Small Xixi flung herself into Lu Meili's arms as soon as she saw her.

”Xixi, I missed you. Why would you think that you will never see me again?”

”Isn't it because of that good-for-nothing brother I have? He threw away a pearl and picked a stone.”

Small Xixi's angry face was too comical. She looked like she would slay her own brother for this. ”I'm glad Sis Meili understands him the most. Are the two of you back together? I'll ignore him for weeks for not telling me something this important.”

Lu Meili started feeling awkward. ”Actually Xixi, Xu Tang and I... will never be together.”

The girl's excitement faded in a flash. ”What? But why not?”

Lu Meili took out an invitation card clumsily. ”I'm getting married soon. I came here to give you an invitation card for my engagement party.”
