Chapter 211: My Wife Protects Me
A tall and slender figure stood on the second-floor balcony of the manor not far behind the two of them.
When Su He turned around, he met the man's eyes. Just one glance was enough to tell that this man was extremely cunning.
Three minutes later, several people came to the living room.
The huge living room was extremely quiet.
"It's so cold." Lan Yan shivered all over and muttered, "If you didn't know, you would think this is the underworld. It's so gloomy and spooky."
She wasn't the only one who had this idea, Su He had it too.
What does the furniture and decoration style here reveal about the personality of the owner who lives here?
At this moment, the hoarse voice that sounded like an icy arrow rang out again: "This beautiful lady must be President Jiang's beloved wife, right?"
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a dark suit, black trousers and a black shirt standing at the stairs on the second floor.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his face was as handsome as jade. His narrow eyes seemed to be smiling, but there was a strange light hidden in his eyes.
He exuded a dark and sinister aura from head to toe.
This close eye contact made Su He really dislike the man's gaze.
Jiang Yan subconsciously moved her behind him.
Xi Jue saw all of his actions and looked at him with a sneer on his face.
He said with a smile: "Boss Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met. You've already started a family, but I'm still single."
As he came down from upstairs, the eerie aura emanating from him became stronger.
Seeing that Jiang Yan ignored him, he took the initiative to greet Su He and introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Xi Jue. Nice to meet you today, Miss Su He."
He deliberately prolonged the last four words, looked at her meaningfully, and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with her.
Su He glanced at it indifferently, not taking it seriously, but a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.
Because this man was wearing a black leather glove on his right hand but not on his left.
She did not hide her doubts, so when she was puzzled, Xi Jue curled his lips and sneered and said, "Miss Su, are you curious about why I wear a glove on this hand?"
Su He remained silent after hearing this.
Xi Jue didn't think there was anything wrong. He still had a smile on his face. He retracted his right hand, raised it slightly, looked at it for a few times, and then spoke slowly.
I only heard him say: "This is a gift from your husband."
Su He narrowed his eyes calmly. The "gift" he mentioned was probably that simple.
The entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
In addition to Jiang Yan and Jiang Feng, Su He and Lan Yan were waiting for his next words.
Immediately afterwards, several people saw Xi Jue suddenly lift up the sleeve of his right hand, and a mechanical arm appeared in their eyes.
Lan Yan was slightly stunned: "..."
Su He simply raised the end of her eyebrows slightly, and then said the first words she had said since entering here: "This gift looks quite expensive. You must have spent a lot of money on it, right? Why are you still such a spendthrift?"
She said this while looking at Jiang Yan.
I don’t know if she deliberately understood it this way, or if she really believed that Xi Jue’s mechanical arm was really given to him by Jiang Yan.
When she said this, Jiang Yan and Xi Jue were stunned.
She's obviously not playing by the rules.
The smile on Xi Jue's face obviously faded, and then a light laugh came from the depths of his throat. The laugh sounded a bit deliberate, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Miss Su is really humorous." Xi Jue said.
Su He turned around and looked at him, and replied with a forced smile: "Mr. Xi Jue, you are too kind. I usually don't like to joke around."
Xi Jue didn't know what to say for a moment.
No woman has ever been able to make him speechless for a moment. Su He is the first one, which is quite interesting.
His thin lips curled slightly, and with a smile that was three parts cold and four parts teasing, he looked at Jiang Yan, who had remained silent, and said, "Your wife is quite interesting, much more interesting than the one with the surname Tang."
Your last name is Tang?
The name Tang Sirou flashed through Su He's mind.
Then, she leaned close to Jiang Yan's ear, the hot air from her nose sprayed on his ear, and whispered, "Mr. Jiang, look, your enemies all know the existence of you, Bai Yueguang."
Jiang Yan frowned and immediately explained, "That's fake. You are the real one."
“But no one else knows.”
"It's enough for me to know, no one else needs to know."
“…”
Xi Jue watched the interaction between the two people in front of him and actually saw the atmosphere of nausea and vomiting. His brows knitted together. These two people really didn't treat him as an outsider, right?!
Jiang Feng and Lan Yan on the side were slightly stunned for a moment, and then their expressions returned to normal. After all, their masters were not ordinary people, so what they did was naturally unusual.
Xi Jue's eyes were as dark as a knife, and his voice was hoarse and cold: "Do you two want me to make room for you?"
“…”
"No need to bother!" Jiang Yan's first words after seeing him.
The anger that he had suppressed in his heart was now diverted by Su He.
So, at this moment, his heart calmed down.
"Xi Jue, there's no need to keep things secret between you and me. Just say it directly if you have something to say, otherwise you may not have the chance to say it!"
The man's voice was low and cold, his angular features were tense, and his dark eyes were like two whirlpools, so deep that it made people shudder.
Jiang Yan's aura was no less impressive than Xi Jue's, and he even had a wolf-like arrogance.
Facing Jiang Yan's threatening words, Xi Jue did not get angry, but laughed instead, "Jiang Yan, you are still so arrogant."
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile that was three parts sneer and seven parts narcissism, "It can't be helped. Excellent people just have this capital."
This sentence sounded very familiar to Su He, Jiang Feng and others, as if they had heard it not long ago.
Has the word "feelings" become his catchphrase?
However, there seems to be nothing wrong with this statement, and it even seems like a universal sentence.
Xi Jue's forehead twitched slightly. Why did he always feel that Jiang Yan seemed to have changed after not seeing him for a few years?
Then, as if he had thought of something, a sly smile played on his thin lips: "Since you are so capable, you shouldn't have let your good brother be your target back then."
Jiang Yan remained indifferent to Xi Jue's provocation. What happened back then was indeed a knot in his heart. Although he had always blamed himself for Jing Chu's death, the real culprit was the man in front of him.
If Xi Jue hadn't played dirty tricks back then, that wouldn't have happened.
He was indeed careless at that time and underestimated the methods of the madman Xi Jue.
Jiang Yan said in a deep voice, "Xi Jue, it seems that losing an arm hasn't taught you a lesson yet!"
When mentioning his arm, Xi Jue's face suddenly became gloomy and cold, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes, as if there was a poisonous snake that might wake up at any time.
