Chapter 79 - Sniffed the Smell of Conspiracy (1/2)

Jiang Kaiwei followed Shen Li’s finger and looked over. There was a man and a woman who were sitting on the bench not far away. With the light in the distance, he could recognize that the woman was Du Xiaoxian. The little girl had a smile on her face and her soft hair was gently swaying in the wind. Across a few meters away, Jiang Kaiwei saw her eyes shining like stars. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Gu Nianbin liked her. Du Xiaoxian was actually very beautiful. He then looked at her outfit. It was a dress. This was the first time he had seen her in a dress, and it was a very new thing to Jiang Kaiwei. He remembered that Du Xiaoxian always wore jeans with suspenders and wore her hair in two braids. She was like a child. Now, she was in a fitting dress, revealing her two thin legs, and this really made her attractive like a little woman.

Jiang Kaiwei always thought that apart from Gu Nianbin, Du Xiaoxian would not smile at any other man. But now… Jiang Kaiwei looked at the man beside her again. He should be a young teenager, although he looked mature. Probably he was her classmate. Jiang Kaiwei raised his eyebrows. If Gu Nianbin saw this scene, would he be pissed off so much as to lose his temper?

Jiang Kaiwei slowly paced over and waved his hand at Du Xiaoxian while shouting, “Hi, Xiaoxian!”

Du Xiaoxian and Cheng Mingchi were chatting when they heard the shouts. Du Xiaoxian looked up, and then her smile subsided.

Shen Li whispered to Jiang Kaiwei, “The little girl’s expression changed when she saw you. How annoying are you?”

Jiang Kaiwei glared at him. “She changed her expression because she saw you.”

Shen Li smiled and walked two steps closer to greet Du Xiaoxian. “Hello, Xiaoxian, we meet again.”

Du Xiaoxian had a pretty good impression of Shen Li, so she forced out a smile and replied, “Hello, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Li turned his head and winked at Jiang Kaiwei, as if he were saying, “Now who do you think has made her change her expression?”

“Xiaoxian, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for a long time.” As Jiang Kaiwei said so, he wanted to sit down. However, Du Xiaoxian and Cheng Mingchi sat loosely on the bench. The gap between the two of them and at both ends of the bench were not enough for one person. Jiang Kaiwei couldn’t sit down and coughed awkwardly, “Well, Xiaoxian, I didn’t come to you specially. I came to your classmate’s Ball for the Coming-of-Age Ceremony and happened to bump into you, so I’m just here to say hi. Don’t worry.”

Du Xiaoxian said with a dull face, “Oh.”

Jiang Kaiwei thought that she would continue, but the little girl’s “oh” was her ending word. For a moment, it was quiet and the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Jiang Kaiwei was thick-skinned, and this wasn’t his first time being treated like this by the girl, so he didn’t have much of a feeling. Shen Li was a little regretful, though. He shouldn’t have agreed to accompany Jiang Kaiwei to come. Because he wasn’t someone who deserved to be faced with a cold shoulder at all!

At this time, Cheng Mingchi said, “Xiaoxian, your friends are here. I’m going inside.” As he spoke, he stood up.

Du Xiaoxian also stood up and said to Jiang Kaiwei, “You can sit here now. We’re leaving.”

“Wait!” Jiang Kaiwei stopped her and said, “Since we’ve met, let’s have a chat!”

“I have nothing to talk about with you,” Du Xiaoxian said seriously. Then she pulled Cheng Mingchi’s hand and left.

Not far away, there were a series of flashes that were flashing with constant click noises. It was that group of reporters. Their mission was to follow and photograph Jiang Kaiwei.

Jiang Kaiwei looked at Shen Li with an unhappy face. If Du Xiaoxian had said those words angrily, he could have still pestered her with a playful smile. However, Du Xiaoxian did not seem to be angry at all. She only expressed her opinion seriously. Looking at the little girl’s incomparably clear eyes, the thick-skinned Eldest Young Master Jiang felt like that his self-esteem had fallen down from his face bit by bit.

Shen Li was watching the movements of those reporters all this time. He glanced at Jiang Kaiwei and saw that the latter was also looking at him, but Shen Li pretended not to see him. At this moment, Shen Li turned around and looked at Cheng Mingchi. “Xiaoxian, is he your classmate?”

“Yes, he’s also my friend.” Du Xiaoxian emphasized the word “friend”. She regarded Cheng Mingchi as her friend because they were both people who had nothing, and they had a feeling of pity for each other.

Shen Li slowly nodded and looked at Cheng Mingchi with a faint smile. That kind of insightful gaze made Cheng Mingchi suddenly feel a little nervous. He grabbed Du Xiaoxian’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Du Xiaoxian smiled at Shen Li and then followed Cheng Mingchi to leave.

Jiang Kaiwei threw himself down on the bench and said angrily, “We just let her go so easily?”

Shen Li shook the cocktail in his hand, and the corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc. “I sniffed the smell of conspiracy.”

“Only a fool can’t tell,” Jiang Kaiwei said angrily, “didn’t Yang Yiqing just want to gain some advantage from me? Let him be.”

Shen Li shook his head. “You’re not the main character, Du Xiaoxian is.” He leisurely crossed his legs, with his eyes glancing at the shadows that were moving around in the darkness.

Although Shen Li was a businessman, he was also sent to the army to take training like his brothers. Apart from strengthening his physique, he also had to learn keen observation, the ability to distinguish and analyze things, the ability to cope with dangers, and so on. He was not a special forces soldier, but his courses in the special forces were all completed with excellent results.

Now that he had caught a glimpse of something unusual, he was certain that the people hiding in the dark were targeting Du Xiaoxian!

Jiang Kaiwei was stunned for a moment and didn’t believe him. “Du Xiaoxian? Why? Because of Gu Nianbin? Those people want to reveal their relationship?”

He asked a few questions in succession, but Shen Li only shook his head. “What relationship? Gu Nianbin is not even here, who would believe it? But I noticed that they had just photographed you and Du Xiaoxian.”

Eldest Young Master Jiang smiled and said, “That’s not bad. They should make it public. I’m happy. I want to see if Gu Nianbin will lose his temper or not.”
