Chapter 7 Deception and Betrayal

Su Mi knew about the welcome party tonight.

But she had no idea that the so-called school beauty would be the lead dancer.

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 beauty.

If so, her task would only become more difficult.

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

[Host, have you made any progress in the past few days since I was away? 】

Su Mi found a bench under a camphor tree on campus and sat down. At that time, students were coming and going from class.

She sighed and replied to the system, "Don't mention it. There is 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 talking about 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. But tonight... maybe there will be some clues."

【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 reading some information, and after a while he said, "In addition to basketball, there are also billiards, volleyball, swimming, equestrianism, fencing, and musical instruments such as 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 fully booked.

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 she naturally cannot bring shame to her family and must maintain her reputation.

Born into such a prominent family, Xiao Xuanjin must have had many helpless moments. Although he appears to be cynical and mean on the surface, he may not be so in his heart.

"Xiao Xing, I remember you said before that Xiao Xuanjin's character is because he has been smooth sailing since he was a child, 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 lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery, putting entertainment above all else, relying on the original accumulation of their fathers.

The other type is the heir carefully cultivated by the family, who is outstanding in terms of academic qualifications, vision, personal ability, and the way of doing things, and no one can find any fault with him.

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

[I do know this. When Xiao Xuanjin was young, he was brought up by Grandpa Xiao. Grandpa Xiao always liked to use thundering methods and always used the stick to educate Xiao Xuanjin. But later, after Grandpa Xiao passed away, Xiao Xuanjin's parents were busy with the company, and Xiao Xuanjin changed. No one in the family could control him anymore.]

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

Whatever the reason, at least it shows that he was not originally like this.

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

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

She had very flamboyant short silver hair, an earring inlaid with dark blue rhinestones, and a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, as if she was emitting electricity at any time and anywhere.

When she looked at him, he was also looking at her, "Are you a freshman? Alone? You are so beautiful."

His words were those of a playboy who was used to hunting for curiosities.

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

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

At this time, the voice of System Xiaoxing came into 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.

To be able to become Xiao Xuanjin's opponent, I believe this person must be no simple person.

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

Su Mi touched her hair and said, "So it seems that you are a big shot 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 the fact that his relationship with Su Mi had never been mentioned until now.

Although Brother Xiao didn't say anything, he had already tacitly acknowledged that something was going on between them. Moreover, didn't Su Mi ask him for Brother Xiao's home address last time, and it seemed that he 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 someone started trouble instead of them looking for trouble.

Meng Yuncheng saw them and stood up, "Hey, isn't this our school idol Xiao?"

He Fei knew that Meng Yuncheng had been brooding over his failure in the election for school hunk, so he always had a gun and a stick with him whenever they met.

Xiao Xuanjin was not to be outdone, and put one hand in his pocket, "Hey, isn't this the defeated general of my men?"

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 silently.

Meng Yuncheng was touched in the sore spot by Xiao Xuanjin, 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 his shoulders and said, "He's just a person who betrayed me, and you still treat him as a treasure?"

"You say it so easily, but you must be feeling bad inside."

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

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

Having said that, he turned and left.

Su Mi, who was standing nearby and hearing it clearly, felt a jolt in his heart.
