Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu, seated there quietly and letting him dry his hair. He was overjoyed. If it had been in the past, he would already have been at the door, cursing and swearing.
Li Zhe really wanted to kiss this quiet and well-behaved Meng Yu, but after what had just happened, Li Zhe only had the desire but no courage to do so. It was very quiet in the room, with only the slight rustling sound of towel against hair. Meng Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked, “Has it started in Beijing?”
Li Zhe was solemnly drying Meng Yu’s hair as he replied, “There’s no news yet, so they probably haven’t made a move yet.”
Meng Yu nodded, and the two fell into silence again. Both of them didn’t talk much, but they tacitly no longer mentioned that afternoon’s confession and kiss.
At that time, Shen Xi was following Xia Huang, shuttling through the grand birthday banquet.
“Wow, this is too magnificent!” Zhao Yuan’s eyes were filled with the luxurious layout of the banquet.
Xia Huang smiled. “The old chief has been in politics for decades. He has always been incorruptible. To be able to host such a luxurious birthday banquet, it must have a lot to do with the old Mrs. of the Guan family.”
Xia Huang was explaining. After all, it was not appropriate for a politician to be so extravagant. Even though he was already retired, people would inevitably gossip about him.
“I see. Then which one is the old chief?” Zhao Yuan looked around curiously, searching for Old Master Guan. After all, he was a person who could usually only be seen on TV and the news.
Now that she had the opportunity to meet these famous people face-to-face, Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn’t let it go. If he allowed it, she would even want to take a photo with him.
Xia Huang was also looking around. If she crouched at the place where the Old Master would appear, she would definitely be able to find Young Master Guan.
Of course, Xia Huang did not forget to pay attention to Jiang Xue. She remembered that she had brought these two people in to cause trouble for Jiang Xue.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was in the corner and also looking around, Xia Huang turned back and said to the duo, “Do you guys want to come over with me to have some cake?”
Zhao Yuan immediately pulled Shen Xi along and followed behind Xia Huang. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place and people, so it was better to follow someone who was more familiar with them.
“Jiang Xue, you’re here?” As soon as Xia Huang walked in, Jiang Xue greeted her. “Let me introduce you to my new friends.”
When Jiang Xue saw Zhao Yuan, who was beside Xia Huang, she was shocked. She couldn’t understand why Zhao Yuan would come to the birthday banquet. Zhao Yuan knew about her engagement and pregnancy. If Zhao Yuan mentioned something like that, her reputation would be ruined.
Xia Huang immediately caught Jiang Xue’s panicked expression and the smile on her lips deepened.
Xia Huang introduced her to Jiang Xue. “This is Zhao Yuan, from Rong City. This is Shen Xi, also from Rong City.”
Jiang Xue’s eyes were fixed on Shen Xi, who Xia Huang was pointing at. This fellow whose skin was tanned to a wheat color was Shen Xi? Was this a joke?
“Cousin is looking at Shen Xi like this, could it be someone that you know? Sigh, look at my memory, cousin is also from Rong City. If you really know each other, it means that you are fated,” Xia Huang continued, staring at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue quickly came back to her senses, sinking her fingertips into her palms nervously. She forced herself to keep calm before coolly saying, “Cousin, you’re joking. Although Rong City is small, it’s unlikely that everyone there knows each other.”
“You just came to Beijing not long ago and can’t recognize your old classmates already?” Zhao Yuan said in a strange tone.
“Oh, really? You were old classmates? Isn’t this a coincidence? Quickly tell me what my cousin was like in your Rong City? My cousin has only joined to our family for a short time, so it’ll be easier for me to get along with her in future if I know more about her past, ” Xia Huang said, pretending to be surprised.
Zhao Yuan was about to say something when Jiang Xue stopped her loudly. “We’ve only been classmates for around two months. We don’t know each other well. I didn’t even remember who it was just now. I’m sorry, I was so engrossed in my studies in the past that I neglected to maintain a good relationship with my classmates. I just remembered that we were really classmates.”
Zhao Yuan was stunned by Jiang Xue’s ability to spew nonsense. Jiang Xue’s results in the monthly test were the last in the class, and she still buried herself in her studies? It was more like studying how to get pregnant and have children.
Xia Huang looked at Zhao Yuan’s expression and knew that Jiang Xue must have some secret that she didn’t want others to know.
Just then, a youngster wearing a black shirt, a cap, and a black mask strode in from the main entrance.
Jiang Xue and Xia Huang’s eyes lit up when they saw him. They forgot about their rivalry and quickly walked towards the him..
