Chapter 418 - One Drunk, One Down (1/2)

Realizing that she wasn’t very welcomed here, Li Beinian removed her sunglasses and mask and spoke honestly, “Jiang Yeqing invited me here today.”

All eyes were instantly directed towards Jiang Yeqing.

Jiang Yeqing lowered his cigarette without a hint of guilt and replied with a smile, “You guys were all drinking, so I had no choice but to call an old friend over to accompany me, or I would have been so bored.”

He waved to her. “Come and sit with me over here. I’ll treat you to some fruit juice.”

Li Beinian was speechless.

Just as she was about to walk over, she suddenly felt another pair of eyes staring at her.

Lin Ya looked at her with a smile on his face. “We meet again.”

Li Beinian returned a smile. “We must be really fated, Mayor Lin. I’ll go over first. If you would excuse me.”

“Sure,” Lin Ya said with a seemingly unchanging smile on his face. “But, I’m curious. Did you come here today because of your ex-fiancé or because of your lifesaver?”

His words were laced with a hint of mockery. Li Beinian immediately knew that he was up to no good.

As if on cue, Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen looked over at the same time.

They were both obviously waiting for her answer.

Feeling their hot stares burning into her back, Li Beinian looked directly at Lin Ya’s questioning yet not interrogative stare. She smiled. “Brother Jiang just called me to come over today. I didn’t know or expect to see so many familiar faces here.”

“Brother Jiang?” Mu Donglin repeated with disbelief.

On the other hand, Mu Xichen immediately shot Jiang Yeqing a look.

Feeling their unfriendly stares, Jiang Yeqing’s hand shook slightly while still holding onto his cigarette. He said with a slight cough of surprise, “We’re just friends. Don’t misunderstand, guys.”

Deciding to ignore any further questioning from Li, Ya, Li Beinian walked directly towards Jiang Yeqing.

Gu Mingye smiled cheekily and patted Jiang Yeqing on the shoulder. “You’re so done.”
