RBCT Chapter 366 Jealousy
Chapter 366 Jealousy
The weather in Han City was excellent for the next few days.
Li Mengli attends classes at school every morning. In the afternoon, she rides in a black Rolls-Royce arranged by Lao Yi to the manor on the outskirts of Han City.
The top international designers are still at the manor, making final adjustments to Li Mengli's look.
After the conversation in the school cafeteria that noon, Li Mengli's feelings were completely different now.
In the past, when Li Mengli saw Pierre giving her flowers or heard Lu Wenzhou say caring words to her, she would feel extremely nervous. She would feel very embarrassed, and her face would turn red. She even wanted to avoid them.
But now, Li Mengli knows that both men are pursuing her.
She listened to Huo Qian and her younger brother Li Menghan's advice. She decided to give these two men a proper test.
She stopped avoiding it. She decided to accept their kindness with a clear conscience.
She wanted to open her eyes wide and look carefully. She wanted to see who was more reliable and who was more sincere towards her.
Inside the manor's main hall.
Pierre always dressed very smartly. He would arrive at the lobby well in advance every day to wait for Li Mengli.
As soon as Li Mengli walks in, Pierre will happily go up to greet her.
He prepares different surprises for Li Mengli every day.
Today I'll send you a bouquet of yellow roses, and tomorrow I'll send you a bouquet of pink lilies.
When Pierre was doing Li Mengli's hair, his movements were still so slow and careful.
He would have the kitchen prepare exquisite French pastries every day, and he would also personally brew very delicious coffee.
Through the translator, he loudly said many sweet things to Li Mengli.
"Miss Li, you look absolutely stunning in this dress today. You are incredibly beautiful."
"Miss Li, I've read many books, but none of the heroines are as lovely as you. You make me very happy every day."
In the past, Li Mengli would blush and lower her head when she heard these words.
But now, Li Mengli sat in the dressing chair. She looked at Pierre in the mirror very naturally.
She had a very generous and beautiful smile on her face.
She replied loudly, "Thank you, Pierre. The snacks you prepared were delicious. And your words were very pleasant."
She accepted the flowers and ate the pastries with grace.
She felt this was something a suitor should do. She didn't feel embarrassed. She felt she could perfectly accept it.
Lu Wenzhou has also been busy these past few days.
He had made Li Mengli very unhappy by lying about work last time. He felt very regretful.
He's learned his lesson now. He no longer uses those business tricks to deceive people.
He would arrive at the manor every afternoon without fail.
He never comes empty-handed.
He knew Li Mengli liked the food at a restaurant in downtown Han City. Every day, he would send someone to that restaurant to pack up the best dishes in insulated containers. Then he would personally bring them to the manor for Li Mengli to eat.
He would also buy Li Mengli many very expensive and famous snacks, such as imported chocolates and specially made cookies.
Lu Wenzhou strode up to Li Mengli.
He placed the things on the table. His attitude was very sincere.
He looked at Li Mengli and said in a very calm voice, "Mengli, this is your favorite dish. You've been doing your hair all afternoon, you must be hungry. Eat some while it's hot."
"Here's some chocolate; you can have a few if you get bored sitting here."
Li Mengli looked at Lu Wenzhou. She did not refuse.
She said very politely, "Thank you, Lu Wenzhou. You come all this way every day and bring me so many things. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Lu Wenzhou was overjoyed to hear that Li Mengli was willing to accept his gift.
He quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all. As long as you like it, I'll bring it to you every day."
Pierre and Lu Wenzhou met in the lobby every day.
The two of them appeared to be very polite to each other. They would greet each other when they met.
But behind the scenes, they were all competing with each other.
They were all trying their best to please Li Mengli. They all wanted Li Mengli to think they were better.
Once, Li Mengli said, "The air in here is a bit dry. My skin feels a little uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Pierre immediately turned and ran to pour a glass of warm water, adding a little honey to it.
Pierre, holding a glass of water, said loudly, "Miss Li, drink some honey water; it's good for your skin. Drink it quickly."
Pierre hadn't even handed over the water glass yet.
Lu Wenzhou had already taken out a very high-end air humidifier from the side. He turned it on and placed it next to Li Mengli.
Lu Wenzhou looked at Pierre and said very calmly, "Drinking water can only solve the problem temporarily. Increasing the humidity of the air will make Mengli feel comfortable in the long run."
Pierre stared at Lu Wenzhou, his eyes wide. He was extremely resentful.
Pierre said loudly, "Mr. Lu, machines have no feelings. The honey water I personally prepared is full of my care for Miss Li."
Lu Wenzhou smiled and replied, "Concern isn't just about words. It's about taking concrete actions to solve problems. That's how I can truly help her."
The two of them started arguing back and forth.
Li Mengli sat in the middle chair.
She watched as the two men fought over her.
She didn't speak up for Pierre. She didn't speak up for Lu Wenzhou. She didn't stop them.
She picked up the honey water Pierre had given her and took a sip. Then she reached out and felt the steam coming from the humidifier Lu Wenzhou had brought.
She felt that both feelings were quite nice.
Li Mengli knew perfectly well that both of them were trying their best to present themselves.
Her current task is to quietly observe them from the sidelines.
She noticed that Pierre sometimes became very agitated and raised his voice when arguing with Lu Wenzhou. This indicated that Pierre had a rather impulsive personality.
She noticed that although Lu Wenzhou spoke very calmly, there was sometimes a sense of determination to win in his eyes. This indicated that Lu Wenzhou was very goal-oriented and had to achieve his objectives.
Li Mengli kept all these details in her heart.
She felt that Huo Qian was absolutely right. Girls should do more research and make more comparisons.
Only in this way can you know who is the most suitable person for you.
She doesn't find it annoying at all now. She actually thinks it's quite interesting.
She accepted the gifts they brought her with a clear conscience and listened to their sweet words.
at this time.
On the balcony on the second floor of the lobby.
Li Ze was standing here. He was wearing a dark blue, high-end casual outfit today.
He held the string of beads in his right hand, his thumb slowly rotating it.
The old man stood behind him. The old man stood very straight.
Li Ze watched what was happening in the lobby downstairs.
He watched Pierre and Lu Wenzhou vying for dominance. He also saw his daughter, Li Mengli, sitting there calmly.
Li Ze burst out laughing.
He was laughing very happily.
He turned to Lao Yi and said in a very humorous tone, "Lao Yi, look down there. These two young men are really going all out to please our Meng Li."
"One sends flowers and snacks every day, while the other sends meals and machines every day. They're competing to see who puts in more effort."
"The way they're fawning over me is even more exaggerated than when I was pursuing Ruoran back then."
The first man replied, "Boss, Mr. Pierre and Mr. Lu Wenzhou are both working very hard. They are both trying to find ways to make a good impression."
Li Ze nodded. He said with great satisfaction, "That's right. My daughter, Li Ze's daughter, should enjoy this kind of treatment."
"Look at Mengli. She's so smart now. She's not shy like she used to be. Now she just sits there and watches them perform."
"This girl has finally come to her senses. She knows that in relationships, women should carefully observe men and not agree to things too easily."
Li Ze picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of hot water.
He said domineeringly, "Let them continue to fight. Mengli can test them however she wants."
"If they don't even have this much patience, if they can't even withstand this much test, then they are not worthy of being my son-in-law, Li Ze's son-in-law."
Time flies.
Half a month is about to pass.
The work done by those foreign masters at the manor has also come to an end.
All of Li Mengli's looks and outfits for the New York Fashion Week have been finalized.
The masters were very satisfied with Li Mengli's performance. They said that Li Mengli now fully possesses the qualities of an international top model.
Tomorrow, Li Mengli will be flying to New York, America.
This afternoon was the last time we tidied up the lobby.
Pierre and Lu Wenzhou remained standing beside Li Mengli.
Pierre looked at Li Mengli and said loudly, "Miss Li, we're going to New York tomorrow. I'll be backstage in New York to do your final haircut. I'll make sure you're the most beautiful person there."
Lu Wenzhou wasn't about to be outdone. He looked at Li Mengli and said very calmly, "Mengli, I've already arranged the best hotel and car in New York. Once you get there, you don't need to worry about anything. I'll take care of everything perfectly."
Li Mengli looked at the two of them.
She had a very beautiful smile on her face.
She said very clearly, "Pierre, Lu Wenzhou, thank you for taking care of me these past two weeks."
"Going to New York tomorrow is a very important step for me. I hope we can both do a good job."
