Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 857
Chapter 857: Just Give The Word
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded. Then, she was indignant. “They’re excluding you on purpose? To think that they were chatting so happily with you on the surface. Why are they treating you so coldly behind your back? This is too much. Speaking of which, in terms of status, they’re not even worthy of carrying your shoes. Are they really going to ostracize you like this?”
“Xiao Bai, cut it out. Be careful, the walls have ears.” Su Bei stopped Xiao Bai from continuing.
Xiao Bai was still young and had not experienced too many such things. She only felt that Su Bei was too pitiful for being ostracized like this.
Back when Su Bei was popular, how many people wanted to cling to her? Now that she was slightly down and out, she was being ostracized like this. Just thinking about it made Xiao Bai feel terrible.
Su Bei comforted her, saying, “Silly girl. Anyway, they don’t have much of a relationship with me, so it’s not wrong for them to not invite me. Why should we rush over?”
Xiao Bai merely felt aggrieved on Su Bei’s behalf. “But they don’t have to put on an act on the surface. They came up to greet you affectionately when we got down from the car just now because they wanted to get closer to you. And now, they’re secretly excluding you.”
“Now that you mention it, why do I feel like I’ve been abandoned by a jerk?” Su Bei laughed.
Xiao Bai was finally amused. “You’re the only one who’s open-minded about such things. If it were anyone else who ostracized me like that, I really wouldn’t be able to calm down.”
Su Bei had experienced so many things and was indifferent to life and death—let alone such a small matter.
She consoled her, saying, “That’s the way the world works, isn’t it? No one will ever think about you or your feelings. The only thing you can do is make yourself useful. If you become the center, no one will ignore you.”
Xiao White looked in the direction of Song Yao and the others and saw that they were still wandering around looking for people to join them. After listening to Su Bei’s words, she finally calmed down a little.

When Jia Shiyun heard that they were going to invite Li Qisheng to a meal, she downed the remaining red wine in her glass in one gulp. She somewhat disapproved of the idea.
Was there a need to invite Li Qisheng to a meal?
All these years, she had treated herself as the mistress of Lu Group. Although she was very respectful toward Li Qisheng, she rarely asked him for anything.
This was just a matter of asking him to have a meal with them.
Tian Jinna laughed and said, “These newbies are really blind. They actually want you to accompany them and invite Manager Li to a meal. It’s obvious that they’re afraid of not being able to invite Manager Li, so they want you to use your status to ask Manager Li out. Who doesn’t know what their little scheme is?”
Jia Jia also said, “Forget it, Sister Shiyun. Ignore them and let them do whatever they want. It’s more like Manager Li will be the one inviting you out to a meal. Since when did you need to invite Manager Li out for anything?”
Jia Shiyun felt comfortable every time her manager and Jia Jia complimented her. She thought for a moment and asked, “Did they ask Su Bei too?”
“Of course not,” Tian Jinna immediately said, “I’ve already asked them about it and found out they’ve excluded Su Bei. Everyone knows that Su Bei has offended you, so who would dare to associate themselves with Su Bei? Speaking of which, these people have such discerning eyes. They all know who to befriend and distance themselves from.”
Jia Shiyun thought for a moment and said, “Alright then, promise them that we’ll go with them tonight and ask Manager Li out for dinner.”
“You’re really lowering yourself to their level?” Jia Jia exclaimed.
Jia Shiyun was anxious to find an opportunity to ostracize Su Bei, so she was naturally unwilling to give up on this opportunity.
