Jiang Banchi lowered her head, her eyes fixed on Sun Xiuqi's earlobe. She knew that Sun Xiuqi had feelings for her, and she also knew that she looked her best from this angle.
She had to keep Huo Zhongyuan hanging on to his string until he got tired of her.
"You~"
Sun Xiuqi paused for a moment, then said softly.
"Jiang Jiang, why are you doing this to yourself!"
Just as he had expected, Jiang Banchi's lips twitched slightly, but when she looked up at him, her eyes held a hint of melancholy.
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Sun Xiuqi glanced at Huo Zhongyuan, who had already taken his seat, and nodded.
“You know Fu Bowen and the others, I’ll go over and say hello.”
He was quite rational; knowing the other person didn't like him, he never pestered her.
This time, it was simply that he couldn't refuse, after all, he had once liked her, but that liking had faded over time.
As soon as Qin Suisui entered, she felt the other person's hidden gaze, but she didn't care.
She did fall in love with Huo Zhongyuan, but her world wasn't just about men.
The more time they spent together, the more they understood each other, and she and Huo Zhongyuan found they were on the same wavelength in terms of both feelings and hobbies.
The two can even agree on logical thinking.
She likes this shared value system and enjoys their current way of getting along.
"Sui Sui!"
Pei Qing squeezed through from behind, took Qin Suisui's arm, and looked at Huo Zhongyuan.
"Brother Zhongyuan, can I borrow your girlfriend for a bit? I'll return her to you later!"
"Um!"
Huo Zhongyuan nodded with a smile. These were some of his rare friends whom he respected, and of course he hoped they could get along well with Sui Sui.
Seeing Pei Qing walk across to the other side with Sui Sui, he couldn't hide his joy.
"Did you feel it?"
Pei Qing glanced back and said softly.
“I’ve brought you this far, and Brother Zhongyuan is still watching us.”
"Is there?"
Qin Suisui gave her an amused look.
She could sense the goodwill the other person was showing her, and she was willing to accept that goodwill.
"Of course!"
Pei Qing pulled her to sit down and chattered in Qin Suisui's ear about interesting things happening in the industry.
"Sui Sui, do you see Jiang Banchi over there?"
She put her hand on Qin Suisui's shoulder and whispered in her ear.
“If you run into her outside, you should be careful. I can tell that she has never given up on Zhongyuan.”
"Yes, I know!"
Qin Suisui nodded slightly. The other person's gaze was almost glued to Senior Brother Huo. How could she not see it?
"Sui Sui, how come you're not worried at all!"
Pei Qing looked at her in surprise, but inwardly marveled.
Are all lawyers, regardless of gender, so calm and composed?
Thinking of the recent rumors, she still kindly offered her a reminder.
"You may not know about Jiang Banchi's family situation. Her father is the vice president of Huating Petroleum Group, and she herself also works in the petroleum group. It is said that the petroleum group will reappoint a new leader at the end of the year, and her father is the most likely candidate. I heard from my mother that her father, Jiang Yu, is the most likely candidate."
Although she knew that Zhongyuan was currently serious and passionate about Qin Suisui.
But in their circle, relationships are relationships, and future prospects are future prospects.
People in their circle always have some lingering regrets about their relationships.
People outside the circle rarely truly integrate.
When in love, they care deeply about each other.
However, whenever they encounter opposition from their families, the relationship always ends without resolution, and even if they do get married, their married life is often far from ideal.
Men in this circle often get bored with new things unexpectedly.
Of course, it also has to do with the woman. A dependent woman who tries to keep a man through affection will end up with nothing but a mess.
A woman like Qin Suisui was a novelty to Pei Qing.
She surpasses her friends in both appearance and ability.
In particular, she so easily made the aloof and intellectual Zhongyuan unleash all his passion.
This made their entire circle of friends take notice.
Fu Bowen and his friends even set up a betting game at the beginning, betting on how long Qin Suisui and Huo Zhongyuan would date.
However, as Huo Zhongyuan's infatuation became increasingly apparent, the bet fell through.
For the past six months, Pei Qing would subconsciously pay attention whenever he heard Qin Suisui's name while out and about.
The more I learn, the more I admire them.
She now understands why Zhong Yuan, such a distant and aloof man, would like Qin Suisui.
These two are exactly the same type.
Out of optimism, she enthusiastically helped Qin Suisui get to know the people.
"Jiang Banchi's father is very supportive of her pursuing Zhong Yuan, so you have to be careful. It is said that her father is very influential in Huating, and he is respected by both the legitimate and criminal worlds."
"The legitimate and the criminal world?"
Qin Suisui was puzzled when she heard this, and she looked at Pei Qing with a hint of curiosity.
"Sister Pei Qing, how do you know so much?"
Hi~
Pei Qing rubbed his nose sheepishly.
"I enjoy listening to gossip, and I like to listen to more of it when I come across it."
"Don't be fooled by Jiang Banchi's father's gentle and refined appearance; he's incredibly ruthless in private!"
"Ruthless?"
The vice president of Huating Petroleum Group?
All of this combined information is subtly pointing in one direction.
"right!"
Pei Qing nodded affirmatively.
