Li Shi casually grabbed a book to use as a paperweight to hold down his freshly inked artwork.
He rose from his chair and walked out of the study.
When he arrived in the living room, he noticed Chen Qiu Ye and Wang Yue Lan coming from the direction of the dining room.
"It sounds like it should be Fei Miao; she sent a message this morning saying she would come over to play… so why is she arguing with someone?"
Upon seeing Li Shi, Chen Qiu Ye offered an explanation and headed toward the entrance.
Fei Miao was a member of the "If Not Coquettish, Then Crazy" WeChat group, a vibrant and beautiful second-generation rich girl. She had been studying abroad in South Korea for the past year, but it seemed she returned to China recently because a suitor had been pestering her incessantly there.
Li Shi learned about this through the group chat "The Three of Us," where he saw the conversation between Qiu Ye and Yue Lan.
