Ever since Shen Linyue was inexplicably taken away by Jiang Yanxin, He Xiao has been quite worried about Shen Linyue's safety.
The Jiang family is a den of snakes and rats; they all like to do dirty tricks behind people's backs, making it impossible to guard against them.
Shen Linyue nodded and instructed, "Remember to bring plenty of security guards, don't go alone."
He Xiao nodded and glanced at Qi Yu again. Only after receiving Qi Yu's assurance did he turn and leave.
"Don't worry about He Xiao, that kid is very clever." Qi Yu said, looking at the petite Shen Linyue beside him, "Come on, let me introduce you to the team that will be the future KPL champion."
Shen Linyue withdrew her gaze, a smile in her eyes: "Yes, you will definitely win the championship."
Qi Yu was surprised that Shen Linyue trusted her so much, and his impression of her instantly improved: "You're really He Xiao's sister? You're much sweeter than He Xiao."
Shen Linyue smiled and raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying the matter.
...
When He Xiao finished dealing with his business and rushed back, Shen Linyue had already become one of the team members.
She was very engrossed in the conversation and often made people laugh; her cheerful laughter echoed throughout the office.
He Xiao's face instantly turned as black as ink, and he pulled Shen Linyue, who was sitting in the crowd, out of the room.
"What's making you so happy?" He Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Xiao, you're back! How did things go? Did you catch them?" someone asked.
He Xiao pursed his lips and nodded. "An acquaintance. We didn't catch him; he got away. But it's okay, I'll catch him sooner or later."
It means they didn't catch them. Shen Linyue wanted to ask who it was, but considering the occasion, she decided not to.
Qi Yu also spoke up at this moment: "Then stay and have a late-night snack before you leave. Later, go play a few games with them and practice their skills."
He Xiao subconsciously glanced at Shen Linyue beside him and saw her nod without hesitation, which made him feel a little annoyed.
I'll never bring her to a place like this again, haha.
The two didn't leave until 9:30 p.m. and took a taxi home.
Seeing He Xiao leaning back with his eyes closed, resting in the car, Shen Linyue finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is this acquaintance you were talking about? Do we both know each other?"
He Xiao paused, glanced at her, and nodded: "Yes, it's Xu Hao."
This guy is a coward. After what happened last time, he didn't dare to go to school for a week. But this time he actually dared to follow them. He's gotten quite bold.
Shen Linyue was surprised, then said with a complicated expression, "You really haven't offended him before? Why do you keep causing trouble?"
He Xiao pursed his lips and looked at her quietly: "Do you think that with my background, if I offend him, he would really dare to cause trouble?"
"So you suspect that Jiang Zhixing sent him to spy on us?" She couldn't imagine anyone else daring to do such a thing.
He Xiao nodded without hesitation this time, "Yes, that's why I told you to be careful of Jiang Zhixing. I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to insist on getting close to him."
"What exactly did Jiang Yanxin say to you last time?" the boy asked.
Shen Linyue raised an eyelid slightly: "It can't be that my participation in this ball has made Jiang Zhixing hold a grudge, can it?"
She thought it was quite possible, but was the male lead really such a petty and narrow-minded person?
"I don't know." He Xiao forced a smile, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
Shen Linyue stared at his profile for a long time, and when He Xiao glanced at her impatiently, she said, "Do you know about the relationship between your mother and Jiang Yanxin?"
She always felt that her future relationship with Jiang Yanxin wouldn't be as harmonious as she described, and that they might break up later for some reason.
After all, their sons disliked each other, making it hard not to be suspicious.
However, she didn't expect He Xiao to actually say anything.
"I don't know, why are you asking these questions?" He Xiao stared at her suspiciously.
Shen Linyue coughed lightly and mumbled, "It's nothing. It's just that Jiang Yanxin told me last time that she and your mother have a very good relationship, so I wanted to ask about it."
He Xiao seemed to be thinking of something, and his expression gradually turned sarcastic, his eyes becoming icy and particularly frightening.
"Is that what she told you? She doesn't even deserve to be my mom's friend. Disgusting." The boy's disgust was undisguised.
This was the first time Shen Linyue had seen He Xiao react so strongly, and she was momentarily stunned. She couldn't help but think of the half-joking remark He Xiao had made last time about 'her becoming Mrs. He'.
Judging from A Xiao's reaction, this is very likely the case. Could it be that Jiang Yanxin was thinking of taking over the He family's mistress right after A Xiao's death?
Jiang Yanxin is so different now than she was back then that she can't even bring herself to say it.
But... Jiang Yanxin isn't married? Then how did Jiang Zhixing come to be here? He's so bold.
Shen Linyue fell into deep thought.
The two remained silent for the rest of the journey until the car stopped outside the villa area. Taxis couldn't get in, so the rest of the way would either have to be covered on foot or they would have to call someone to pick them up.
He Xiao belongs to the latter group; he doesn't want to walk even half a step.
Outside the security building, the dim lighting cast long shadows of the two people.
As Shen Linyue approached He Xiao in the cold wind, she asked, "Ah Xiao, do you hate Jiang Yanxin very much?"
He Xiao looked down at her, shielding her from the wind, and replied calmly, "I just dislike her, I wouldn't say I hate her."
"Oh, so she has nothing to do with your mother leaving?"
He Xiao curled his lips slightly: "If she has even the slightest connection, Old He will be the first to send her to jail, hehe."
Shen Linyue's long eyelashes trembled as she looked up at the boy's well-defined profile. So Ah Xiao knew about her death. Were those words just for psychological comfort?
Suddenly I felt like laughing, but also a little sad.
"Ah Xiao, I will stay with you," the girl whispered.
He Xiao looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly said, "I saw you chatting happily with those guys in the studio."
Shen Linyue: ...Isn't this topic changing a bit too quickly?
"They're different from you." She was quite dissatisfied, then suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, does Qi Yu like online dating?"
He Xiao was surprised: "He's actually willing to tell you even this?"
Shen Linyue shook her head honestly: "No, it was Xiao Pang who said it. I was quite surprised at the time." It also successfully reminded her of something.
He Xiao understood; those people were indeed big mouths, spilling everything, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
If they're going to spill the beans, they might be saying his stuff too, right?! Damn it.
Just as He Xiao thought Lin Yue would bring up his past embarrassing incidents, Shen Lin Yue sniffed and said, "Tell Qi Yu to remind him next time he sees him that online dating never ends well, and he shouldn't be fooled."
What came to her mind was Qi Yu being scammed out of hundreds of thousands of yuan in an online romance. He Xiao would bring up this incident later to constantly provoke him, making Qi Yu furious.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to remember.
He Xiao: ...
It turns out it had nothing to do with me at all, haha.
"I'm not going." He refused coldly, his expression stern as he warned, "You wouldn't have taken a liking to that guy, would you? Old He will never agree to it!"
Shen Linyue: ?
What a jumbled mess of a bunch of nonsense?
Qi Yu, who was dozens of kilometers away, suddenly sneezed twice. "It must be my sweetheart missing me, hehe."
