Chapter 584 Grinding on the Ground
"Hey..." Jiang Yulai wanted to stop her, but found that she ran so fast that she disappeared in an instant, giving him no chance to chase her.
"Alex!" The female assistant walked up to Jiang Yulai and grabbed his hand, saying, "You shouldn't be like this. Have you forgotten what Senior Murray told you before you left?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten. Lina, this is just a misunderstanding?"
Lina wasn't so easily fooled: "Misunderstanding? If it's a misunderstanding, why don't you leave immediately? Why are you deliberately bothering her? Are you...?"
"No, absolutely not. My dear girl, you've really misunderstood me."
Lina snorted and pulled him inside.
Jiang Yulai was dragged forward by her. From an angle where she couldn't see him, his face darkened with impatience. He recalled Ye Wanxi's face, and a hint of mockery and smugness flashed in his eyes.
"A passerby? How will you know if they're just a passerby or something else if you don't try?"
He was always proud of his looks and didn't think that his pursuit was a nuisance to the girl. He even presumptuously interpreted Ye Wanxi's behavior as shyness and playing hard to get.
As Jiang Yulai secretly plotted how to find out the other party's identity and planned their next chance encounter, he suddenly felt a chill from his neck and his shoulders began to ache, causing him to frown uncomfortably.
Luckily, Ye Wanxi didn't know what he was imagining, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have left like that. She would have smashed his head on the spot and helped him fix his brain.
"Oh my god? Are all these foreigners so open? They start flirting with me the moment we meet, regardless of the situation, and even say things like, 'What do you think of my face? Meeting you in this vast world is fate, you're the first person I've met here.' My god, how greasy! I thought those domineering CEOs in melodramatic idol dramas only existed in the world of anime, but I never thought they'd actually happen in real life, it's unbelievable!"
"He looks like he's only in his early twenties, how can he be so greasy? Like a middle-aged, oily uncle? Do his fans know what he's like in private?"
“Some people can be greasy regardless of age.” Ye Wanxi was amused by Gao Min’s disgusted and nauseous expression at the greasiness. “You’ve been in this industry for quite a while now, don’t you know that some fans only like the idol’s face and the persona they’ve imagined? If they actually met the real person, at least half of them would be disillusioned.”
Gao Min wholeheartedly agreed. Just now, from a distance, she had indeed been captivated by the other person's face for a moment, but those few words had made her feel nothing for him at all.
She even disliked him as a person, so much so that his face seemed to have lost its original luster, just like Ye Wanxi said, he only had a nose and two eyes, nothing special.
"Judging from how overly familiar and enthusiastic he was just now, could it be that he has a crush on you? You even smiled at him before you left, who knows what he might have imagined. What if he pesters you when you're in the same circle later? You should have been stricter just now and shouldn't have smiled at him."
"Who told you I was smiling at him?"
Gao Min was stunned: "Isn't that right?" She clearly saw Ye Wanxi just now...
Wait, Ye Wanxi did smile at him just now, but when she smiled, it looked like...
A bold guess suddenly formed in Gao Min's mind, and her gaze towards Ye Wanxi became filled with surprise and fear: "You...he..."
"What?"
"Is he wearing...?"
"Yes." Ye Wanxi didn't hide anything and leaned close to Gao Min, whispering, "There's something on his shoulder."
Gao Min shuddered in fright: "Something? What is it?"
Ye Wanxi smiled but remained silent.
It was a blonde, blue-eyed woman in red, hanging suspended in mid-air around Jiang Yulai's neck.
Jiang Yulai thought she was staring at his face, but Ye Wanxi was actually looking at the person on his shoulder from the beginning.
The woman in red looked at Jiang Yulai with a complex expression, a mixture of affection, resentment, anger, and a twisted possessiveness.
In just a few seconds, Ye Wanxi saw several different emotions on her changing face, comparable to the face-changing technique in Sichuan opera, which was truly amazing.
It took Gao Min several minutes to finally digest the meaning of Ye Wanxi's words. She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she finally said, "Then... will you care?"
"Why should I care about him? I don't even know him. Besides, isn't he an E national? Neither he nor his partner are our family. Although they are currently on our land, she has not committed any heinous crimes or harmed our family members without reason. Why should I meddle? If things go wrong, it could turn into a diplomatic issue."
Gao Min: "..." I don't believe you! If this were a person, that would be one thing, but a ghost that no one else can see, if you really try to capture her, do you think anyone will know?
However, she thought again, this person might not be a good person, maybe this ghost is a good ghost?
Even if she isn't, evil people will be punished by evil people. As long as she doesn't harm innocent good people, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with keeping her around.
Thinking about it this way, Gao Min felt relieved and asked excitedly, "What's her relationship with him? Why is she clinging to him and refusing to leave? Could it be that he did something unspeakable?"
“There is a causal link between them, and a blood debt. If I’m not mistaken, even if he didn’t do it himself, he is still involved in the death of the person he’s carrying.”
"Hiss—" Gao Min couldn't help but gasp. "Then isn't he a murderer, an accomplice? Should we...?"
"There's no evidence, and his identity is rather complicated. But it doesn't matter, we're already entangled, it's only a matter of time before something happens. As for sooner or later, it depends on that person's methods, but at the latest it will be within the next few months."
Gao Min suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and she felt even more strongly that people should not do bad things, because who knows, one day she might be entangled by some unseen evil spirits and suffer retribution?
"What are you talking about? It's so mysterious." The short-haired girl walked ahead, equally stunned by Jiang Yulai's earlier flirting.
Seeing Ye Wanxi and the other person whispering together, he wisely refrained from eavesdropping, only asking a question out of curiosity when they were almost at the photography studio.
When Gao Min heard her question, she looked up at her, her expression somewhat complicated.
The young woman froze, then touched her face in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think you're pretty accurate. This time, the magazine next door might really get crushed by you guys."
The cover guests they invite are going to be in trouble; no wonder sales are so bad!
That's why they say Wanxi is a lucky charm. This is the legendary "winning without effort," isn't it?
Short-haired girl: "??!"
