After successfully getting back into the car, He Xiao consciously sat in the passenger seat.
Shen Linyue's gaze swept over the driver, Mr. Liu, before finally landing on the man reading documents beside her.
His black, handmade, custom-made suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his long, bent legs gave him an air of ascetic nobility.
This was the first time Shen Linyue had seriously examined He Liyu in his middle age. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and she wondered if she was sick.
But she still hadn't forgotten what she wanted to say. Just as she was about to speak, He Liyu, who had been looking down, seemed to sense something and looked at her. A gentle smile instantly spread across his dark eyes.
"What's wrong?" His voice was low and deep.
Shen Linyue pursed her lips and shook her head, then glanced at He Xiao, who was wearing headphones and watching videos, and asked, "Is Jiang Jinyu your college classmate?"
He Liyu raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, you've met him?"
Shen Linyue thought of Jiang Jinyu, but focused more on his voice, which sounded strangely familiar.
"Are she and Jiang Yanxin related?" The key point is that they both have the surname Jiang.
"Is that all you wanted to ask?" He Liyu smiled helplessly. "He has no relation to the Jiang family in Taipei, but we were university classmates, so we know each other and are quite familiar with each other."
Shen Linyue understood; for some reason, she always felt that Jiang Jinyu looked familiar at first glance.
"Is there a problem?" The man's eyes deepened, and he tapped the back of the folder with his fingertip, making a very soft sound.
Shen Linyue said after careful consideration, "I think his relationship with Jiang Yanxin is unusual."
He Liyu frowned thoughtfully, "Ah Jin and Jiang Yanxin have always disliked each other..."
He pondered but couldn't say anything. He had indeed never seen Jiang Jinyu and Jiang Yanxin together. Just as he was about to say something, the girl suddenly spoke again.
"Do you think Jiang Yanxin truly loves you?" The girl's thought process was peculiar, her eyes clear and untainted by any ulterior motives.
Congratulatory gifts: ...
"Do I need to know?" He remained silent for a long time before asking thoughtfully.
Shen Linyue pursed her lips and shook her head, her small face extremely serious as she said, "I suspect that the person who kissed Jiang Yanxin in the hallway was him."
Congratulatory gifts: ?!
The usually composed and reserved CEO of the He Group almost lost control of his facial expressions at this moment.
He remained silent, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Hmm... I'll investigate." Good for Jiang Yanxin, daring to poison his upright and innocent little A-Yue. :)
...
The Jiang family banquet is still ongoing.
As Jiang Yanxin gracefully entered the presidential suite on the seventh floor, she saw a tall, slender man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
She stepped forward and skillfully hugged his waist, saying with a hint of weariness, "He Xiao is so annoying. I almost lost my composure in front of him just now. Do you know what that brat said?"
However, the man did not respond to her, his fox-like eyes gazing intently out the window.
“He Liyu may have sensed something. He’s started investigating that accident again recently. I’ll help you get Cheng Tian’s project.” His handsome face appeared and disappeared in the French windows. “That Lin Yue is also acting strangely. As for He Xiao… he’s He Liyu’s lifeline, huh.”
Jiang Yanxin stiffened slightly, and the hand holding the man's waist tightened involuntarily: "He's just a child who's not going to amount to anything, is there any need to harm him?"
The man seemed to sense her unease, turned around, took her hand, and said tenderly, "Xiaoyan, you know, there's no turning back for us. If He Liyu finds out, he won't let us off the hook, including our A-Xing."
Jiang Yan's panicked gaze gradually calmed down. "I understand. I will help you, but I don't want to stay in this place after it's done."
He Xiao's words still seemed to echo in her mind.
He said that Shen Linyue was staring at her, and she trembled slightly, snuggling closer to the man.
"Yes, I promise I'll get you out of here." The man stroked her head affectionately.
The two people inside, oblivious to their surroundings, didn't notice that a dark shadow flashed past outside the slightly ajar door.
...
Time seems to pass even faster.
Since that banquet, Jiang Zhixing has miraculously not caused them any trouble.
She thought that after witnessing that scene last time, he would let He Xiao know, but she waited and waited and even came up with an explanation, but Jiang Zhixing did nothing. Occasionally, when they met, the look in his eyes was indifferent and cold.
Shen Linyue gradually shifted her focus to her studies and began preparing for the midterm exams.
Furthermore, they became even more rigorous in supervising He Xiao's studies, and the two of them formed a three-person study group with Su Xiao.
After class, Shen Linyue would work on test papers with Su Xiao. As for He Xiao, he always had an indifferent attitude and would never take things seriously if he could slack off.
Despite his attitude, his math test scores kept improving; math was the only subject he improved in, while his other subjects remained a mess.
This left Shen Linyue, who was already bad at math, speechless.
But there was something that comforted her: Su Xiao's feelings for He Xiao were gone.
Shen Linyue had pressed Su Xiao for an explanation.
Su Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it's because we're getting closer, but he's just too silly and stupid by nature, and he's always trying to take you from me, so it's getting a bit annoying."
"I still prefer cool little wolf dogs," she said, cupping her cheeks in her hands in a daydream.
Shen Linyue: "..."
She glanced silently at Jiang Zhixing, who stood aloof and noble in the front row, and really wanted to shake Su Xiao's shoulders to bring her back to her senses.
Sister, your official partner has absolutely nothing to do with that little wolf dog!
The main couple's relationship was going to explode in the next semester and into university, so Shen Linyue thought about it and stopped worrying about it.
...
It's Friday again.
After finishing lunch, Shen Linyue and Su Xiao stayed in the classroom to do practice problems. In the blink of an eye, Gu Yi'an rushed into their class.
"Sister Yue, have you seen the boss?"
Shen Linyue paused slightly, looking at Gu Yi'an, who was sweating profusely even in late autumn, seemingly puzzled.
"What happened?" Her intuition told her that it wasn't a good thing.
Gu Yi'an hesitated for two seconds before angrily saying, "It's those beasts in Gonggang. They thought that our boss had turned into a lamb because he hadn't made a move for several months, and they wanted to get back the face they had lost before."
“But they don’t deserve it. Even if the boss turns into a little lamb, he’s still the fiercest leader!” Gu Yi’an clenched his fist.
Shen Linyue: ?
Is this how you praise someone?
However, she thought of Gonggang, a private boys' high school, which was said to be full of sports students.
But how could He Xiao have any dealings with these people?
"I understand. He Xiao is probably at the convenience store. Go find him." Shen Linyue paused for a moment: "Oh, did they say where they were going to meet?"
Gu Yi'an was so angry that he had to vent, and when Yue Jie asked him that, he realized that he had forgotten to ask, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I'll find the boss first." He scratched the back of his head, turned around and ran away.
Shen Linyue stared into thought as she looked in the direction Gu Yi'an had left.
