Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Extra Story of the Eel 37

Wu Xinghai, the one who threw the party for Li Li last time.

This guy might also be from the government compound, but he’s particularly rebellious. Skipped classes, had premature romances, got held back in school as a kid, then grew up to race cars, gamble, and mess around with women. Basically, your archetypal bad boy, shunned and rejected by all the parents who worried he’d corrupt their kids.

Despite all his flaws, there’s one thing about him — he’s great to his friends. So Li Li occasionally still keeps in touch with him.

Lu Yuwen rose from his seat and extended his right hand. “Hello, Mr. Wu.”

Wu Xinghai grinned as he shook hands. “Hello, hello! And you are?”

“My last name’s Lu, Lu Yuwen.” He glanced at Su Man with a smile. “I’m Manman’s friend.”

Wu Xinghai squinted knowingly, his gaze sweeping toward Su Man. Seeing her expression was calm and not the least bit offended, he quickly deduced their relationship must be quite good. Instantly, he chuckled and said:

“Pleasure, pleasure! What a surprise running into you two here. Well, enjoy your meal, I won’t disturb you. Next time, let’s meet up!”

Lu Yuwen responded gracefully and politely, “Sure, let’s have a meal together sometime.”

Wu Xinghai smiled, said his goodbyes, and wrapped his arm around the woman beside him as he headed to his seat.

The table wasn’t far away, just two tables over, separated by a decorative crystal wave sculpture.

As soon as he sat down, Wu Xinghai took out his phone and made a call.

The woman next to him pouted in dissatisfaction. “What are you doing? You haven’t even ordered yet, and now you’re calling someone?”

“My buddy.” Wu Xinghai didn’t even look up, scrolling through his contact list on the phone. “This is big news. Iron tree blooming! That tomboy actually went on a date. There’s even a chance my buddy doesn’t have a clue. I gotta let him know!”

“Tomboy? Didn’t see that coming.” The woman turned her head curiously toward Su Man. “Where did she get her face done? It looks so natural.”

Wu Xinghai rolled his eyes instantly. “I’m talking about her fists! Not her face!”

“Oh…” The woman pouted. “Her dating has nothing to do with you. What are you fussing over?”

“She’s my buddy’s little childhood sweetheart, got it?” Wu Xinghai snorted, then frowned. “Why isn’t Li Li answering his phone?”

Hearing that, the woman’s eyes darted around slyly. She also pulled out her phone, opened the camera, and carefully started finding an angle.

Wu Xinghai looked at her, baffled. “Hey, what are you taking pictures of?”

The woman grinned mischievously. “High-society brat cheating on her boy-toy. Proof in hand. I gotta keep some evidence~”

Wu Xinghai’s face instantly darkened, and he lowered his voice to curse. “Do you even know her family background? Piss off her folks, and with that pathetic little livestream channel of yours, you’ll be shut down in seconds, believe it or not?!”

The woman jumped, quickly pulling back her phone. “How would I know? Fine, I’ll delete it, okay…”

She pouted, opened her album, and was about to hit the delete button when Wu Xinghai suddenly stopped her with a hand. “…Wait.”

The woman looked at him, confused. “Now what?”

Wu Xinghai hesitated, his expression wavering. After two seconds, like he was making some sort of crucial decision, he turned to the woman and said, “Send me that photo.”

“Oh…”

A photo of the man and woman dining together was sent. With a *ding*, it arrived on Wu Xinghai’s phone.

Without hesitation, he forwarded it to Li Li, tagging along a message:

[Bro, check out who this is!]

…

Li Li was lying on his bed, playing on his phone.

Truthfully, he saw Wu Xinghai’s call earlier but didn’t bother to answer.

Whenever Wu Xinghai called, it was always about parties and gatherings. It was fun once in a while, but too often it just got annoying. Plus, if his mom found out Wu Xinghai had called him, she would definitely start nagging.

Now, another message from him popped up. Li Li was about to ignore it, but as he glanced at the image thumbnail, something caught his eye. He opened it up—

Huh?
