Chapter 7 Deception and Betrayal

Su Mi knew about the welcome party tonight.

But she had no idea that the so-called school beauty was going to lead the dance.

But since Xiao Xuanjin might go, then she must go.

By the way, let’s see if there is anything going on between Xiao Xuanjin and the school belle.

If so, her task would only be more difficult.

After class, Su Mi just walked out of the teaching building, and the system, which had been silent for a few days, finally spoke.

[Host, have you made any progress in the past few days since I left?]

Su Mi found a bench under a camphor tree on campus and sat down. At this time, the people coming and going were students going to and from classes.

She sighed and replied to the system, "Don't mention it, there's been zero progress."

[Host, don't be discouraged. It's only been a few days.]

"You also know it's only a few days, so why are you asking?" Su Mi looked into the distance, "By the way, where have you been recently?"

Xiao Xing felt a little guilty when he mentioned this. "I need to recover my strength after helping you with a few things. I forgot to tell you this before."

No wonder Su Mi didn't think much about it. "It's okay. I haven't made any breakthroughs recently anyway. But tonight... maybe there will be some progress."

What do you need me to do?

"Can you help me find out what Xiao Xuanjin likes to do besides playing basketball?"

The first step is to cater to the other person's preferences and understand their preferences first.

The little gorilla seemed to be flipping through some information, and after a while he said, "Besides basketball, there are also billiards, volleyball, swimming, equestrianism, fencing, and musical instruments like piano and violin. He can do all of these, but whether he likes them or not is another matter."

I didn't expect there were so many.

Su Mi thought about how he was forced to learn many courses when he was a child, including musical instruments, art, and flower arrangement etiquette classes.

Every weekend is packed.

At that time, her family also wanted to train her to be more outstanding. After all, in the socialite circle, the competitive mentality is stronger and no one wants to fall behind.

She is the daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng, so naturally she cannot bring shame to her family and she must maintain face.

Xiao Xuanjin was born into such a prominent family, and I believe he also had many helpless moments. Although he looked cynical and mean on the surface, he might not be so in his heart.

"Xiao Xing, I remember you said before that Xiao Xuanjin's personality is because he has had it easy since childhood, which is why he is so arrogant now. But if he was a spoiled dandy, how could he have learned so many things so obediently?"

She had met many rich second-generation young men of her age in Jiangcheng. Basically, there were two types of people. One type was the second-generation rich who relied on their parents' original accumulation to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery, and put entertainment above all else.

The other type is the heir carefully cultivated by the family, who is outstanding in terms of academic qualifications, vision, personal ability, and handling skills, and there is no fault to be found.

These are the two most common types, but obviously, Xiao Xuanjin does not belong to either type, but is somewhere in between.

[I do know this. When Xiao Xuanjin was young, he was raised by Old Man Xiao. Old Man Xiao always liked to use thundering methods and always used the stick to educate Xiao Xuanjin. However, after Old Man Xiao passed away, Xiao Xuanjin's parents were busy with the company, and Xiao Xuanjin changed. There was no one in the family who could control him anymore.]

Could it be that his parents’ lack of discipline caused him to develop a rebellious mentality?

No matter what the reason is, at least it shows that he was not like this originally.

Su Mi was thinking about something when someone sat down next to her.

Feeling someone approaching, she turned around and saw a handsome guy.

She has very flamboyant short silver hair, an earring inlaid with dark blue rhinestones, and a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, making her look like she is emitting electricity anytime and anywhere.

When she looked at the other person, he was also looking at her, "Are you a freshman? Alone? You are really beautiful."

His words sounded like those of a playboy who was used to exploring new things.

Su Mi was already used to such looks, "Who are you?"

The man laughed, "I didn't expect there are people in this school who don't know me."

At this time, the voice of the system monkey came to Su Mi's mind: "His name is Meng Yuncheng, and he is Xiao Xuanjin's mortal enemy. In school, the two have always been incompatible."

Rivals? Interesting.

I believe that this person must be no ordinary person to be able to become Xiao Xuanjin's opponent.

However, there is one thing that opponents should know each other best.

Su Mi lifted her hair and said, "So, it seems that the senior is a celebrity in the school."

"Not really, it's just because I'm handsome and popular."

He is quite narcissistic and you can tell that he is always popular among girls.

Xiao Xuanjin and He Fei, who were coming out of the teaching building not far away, happened to see the man and woman sitting on the bench.

He Fei glanced at Xiao Xuanjin, and then thought about his relationship with Su Mi, which had never been mentioned yet.

Although Brother Xiao didn't say anything, he had already tacitly acknowledged that there was something between them. Moreover, Su Mi had asked him for Brother Xiao's home address last time, and it seemed that she had already been to his home.

Now seeing Su Mi and Meng Yuncheng together, he was even worried that Brother Xiao would lose his temper on the spot.

But unexpectedly, he looked calm, as if he didn't see it, and just walked forward.

He Fei had no choice but to follow, calculating in his mind. It seemed that Brother Xiao didn't care that much.

They had only taken a few steps when they didn't look for trouble but someone else did.

Meng Yuncheng saw them and stood up immediately, "Hey, isn't this our Xiao Da campus hunk?"

He Fei knew that Meng Yuncheng was still brooding over his failure to become the school hunk, so he was always sarcastic whenever they met.

Xiao Xuanjin was not to be outdone, and put one hand in his pocket, "Heh, isn't this my defeated opponent?"

The two men confronted each other.

Su Mi saw Xiao Xuanjin and He Fei when Meng Yuncheng just opened his mouth. Now she was standing behind Meng Yuncheng, looking at Xiao Xuanjin quietly.

Meng Yuncheng was sore after being touched by Xiao Xuanjin that he felt like a peacock with its feathers standing on end. "Do you think you can always win?"

"What else?" Xiao Xuanjin faced Meng Yuncheng's madness calmly.

"You may not know yet, but your capable team member has joined my team." Meng Yuncheng looked proud when talking about this.

Su Mi guessed that the players they were talking about were the ones who played basketball.

I thought Xiao Xuanjin would be a little emotional, but he just shrugged and said, "He's just a person who betrayed me, and you still treat him as a treasure?"

"You say it easily, but you must feel bad inside."

Meng Yuncheng was still trying to find a way to provoke him.

Xiao Xuanjin walked over, patted his shoulder, and said in a leisurely and slow voice, "In my life, I hate betrayal and deception the most, so you should keep people like that and use them."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Mi, who was standing nearby and listening carefully, felt a jolt in his heart.
