Chapter 274 - Selena Tang (12) (1/2)

The two of them had experienced kinds of meeting from the past worlds, yet Jiang Li seemed to feel that the one in this world was very odd. It was a chance encounter at the exit of a random restaurant.

Their eyes met. That lasted for more or less three seconds.

However, the woman showed no interest in him and swiftly looked away… Her gaze did not stay on him that long, treating him a normal stranger that one would cross paths once in her life... whose face and name she wouldn't know or remember.

While it was nothing but a normal reaction, Jiang Li hated it. He thought, wasn't it unfair?

While he was a bit shaken, and even feeling guilty for dying without spending more time with her, here she was, passing by him, treating him like air.

He was fully aware she didn't know him so it was normal.

But it was just quite disheartening because once again, it was only him who could remember!

Had it been a man from a drama and he was at the same situation, even though he was also feeling sad, he would still say, 'It's okay… I can bear with this.' But Jiang Li was not like that. He was selfish. And if he could, he would openly state his resentment to her about their situation.

It just happened that right now he couldn't. Because she wouldn't get what he meant, if ever. What a damnable situation.

He was really angry at was her circ.u.mstance.

Even now, it was a puzzle why she was in every world he visited and why they, even though they were the same person, were not sharing the same memories. What was her true identity?

Watching the elegant and smartly dressed woman walked passed him, the man thought to himself. 'Keep calm, idiot. Be content with at least finding her.'

'You're already fortunate to have found her again.'

…

Jiang Li tailed the woman and then found out that she was headed for the second floor where an audition was being held. The way he went after her was quite obvious, but it seemed the woman was too busy to care. As for the other girl, she noticed him but did not pay him any more attention. It was probably because he was not the only one nearby.

The two women went inside a large hall and then got greeted by a few ladies and men of ages ranging from late twenties to mid-forties. It seemed 'she' was quite an important person since those other people kept respectful faces as they conversed with her. Her whole person emitting frost that made even him feel awkward, yet the smiles of those people did not waver, even as she stared at them with her cold hazel eyes.

Jiang Li was secretly watching them from the hallway. He was standing by the sophisticated bal.u.s.trade, his back facing the direction of the double-doors. His head was bowed and tilted to the left. People who would see him from a distance would assume he was watching the floor below when in reality, his eyes were at the woman and the people surrounding her.

'I know that guy. He should be a fairly popular director. A few notable films and commercials have been produced by his hands.'

'And that middle-aged dude with huge beer belly... If I'm not mistaken, he is known as the owner of that large company owning up almost 60% of the liquor industry. Since he appeared here, he should be an investor. So just who is she, that even a person of his status is doing his best to flatter her?'

His hand was not idle as he wondered about this. A moment later, he shook his head at the results.

The only thing he managed to confirm was that this time she was a lady of influence. Perhaps, she was from a giant family. If not, maybe she had a very high status in a particular industry which could intimidate even old fogies. Good. At least it meant she would not be easily bullied.
