Chapter 57: She Really Was a Soft Persimmon
Jiang Yao found it a little funny when he heard this.
This man is really shameless. Why does he think he is better than his senior?
How thick-skinned do you have to be to say that?
Just as I was about to speak, a voice came from the side.
"Ah Xuan?"
Lu Xuan turned around and found that it was Xu Yueyao.
Xu Yueyao clenched the wine glass tightly, but she was furious.
The daughter of the Xi family, the seller of this venue, is also a member of their socialite circle. She specially invited them to participate in the event tonight.
She didn't expect to meet Lu Xuan here.
What he didn't expect was that he would catch him and Jiang Yao "talking and laughing" together.
So Lu Xuan turned down his invitation because he knew Jiang Yao was coming back?
Still making excuses for yourself, are you talking about business?
In a fit of rage, she came straight over.
"Ah Xuan?"
But she still suppressed her anger, then took Lu Xuan's arm in an intimate manner, looking at the opposite side provocatively.
"Ms. Jiang, Ah Xuan is my fiancé now. Please respect yourself and stop pestering him to try to establish a relationship with you, okay?"
She held her head high and chest out, and deliberately raised the tone of her voice, declaring her sovereignty while letting everyone hear that it was Jiang Yao who was shamelessly harassing her fiancé.
As expected, as soon as the words fell, many gossipers present glanced over.
When Jiang Yao saw this scene, he narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone became even colder.
They come one after another to cause trouble. Do they really think she is a soft persimmon?
"Miss Xu, you're worrying too much. I'd also like to ask you to keep a close eye on your fiancé and stop pestering me and deliberately preventing me from submitting my bidding documents."
Xu Yueyao was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at the bidding number in Jiang Yao's hand.
Is it really just a coincidence?
That won’t work either. Jiang Yao is clearly a thing of the past now, and she shouldn’t have any contact with Lu Xuan at all.
Thinking of this, she sneered, then looked Jiang Yao up and down with a look of disdain.
"You, you also want to compete for this piece of land?"
"Do you know what the lowest bid for this piece of land is? Three hundred million! Do you have that kind of money? Jiang Yao, does your little company have that much liquidity? Miss Jiang, you need to know your limits. Don't just raise the price and end up not being able to pay the money and becoming a laughing stock in the industry!"
The people around suddenly realized.
"So it's that fake daughter of the Xu family! How did she get into the venue?"
"Why act so arrogant if you don't have money! This kind of project that the boss of a big company is discussing has nothing to do with her at all."
Some people started to mock.
Xu Yueyao's face was full of pride. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Jiang Yao, wanting to see her embarrassed look.
Lu Xuan's face looked very ugly. He wanted to protect Jiang Yao, but looking at the gazes coming from all directions, he pursed his lips slightly.
With so many people watching, if he helps Jiang Yao refute Xu Yueyao's words, it might get out and affect Lu's stock price.
Just as he was hesitating whether to help or not, a low and magnetic voice sounded.
"Who said she's not qualified? She's here to negotiate on behalf of our company."
As he spoke, a figure walked across the crowd and approached Jiang Yao, appearing beside him in a protective manner.
The man was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and long legs, and was half a head taller than Lu Xuan.
In addition, he was so handsome and had a strong aura that he was too eye-catching. The whole scene fell silent for a while.
A moment later, a cry of surprise rang out, "This is, the president of Liheng Group, Mr. Li? He is a genius and elite in the industry, a coveted position that is being scrambled for by bosses in the industry.
It's said that his research results have created many legends in the industry! It's not that he never appears in public, but I only met him by chance..."
"So it's him, he's so handsome——"
"So Miss Jiang is his companion? No wonder she's so confident!"
Li Beiting turned a deaf ear to the discussions and instead cast his cold, arrow-like gaze on Xu Yueyao's face.
"Excuse me, what do you think of my people?"
Senior said...his people?
Inexplicably, Jiang Yao's heart trembled, but he quickly came to his senses. Li Beiting said this just to protect himself.
After all, the senior is a kind-hearted person.
The moment Xu Yueyao saw the man, her pupils shrank slightly, and then she took two steps back in shock from his aura.
But then came more jealousy.
Why is it that Jiang Yao, who is just a slut, has so many high-quality men helping her?
How exactly is she better than me?
She subconsciously set her eyes on Lu Xuan.
Whether in appearance, intelligence, temperament or other aspects, he is far inferior to the man in front of him.
Why does even God favor her?
Lu Xuan also looked incredulous at this moment.
He never expected that Li Beiting had such an identity.
Li Beiting didn't look at the expressions of the two people. His eyebrows were frivolous and his tone was lazy. "If she wants to get involved, she doesn't have to go far away. She doesn't even care about me, so how could she be interested in him?"
Xu Yueyao: "..."
Lu Xuan: “…”
Jiang Yao: "..."
The onlookers present all felt that what he said made sense.
"That's right, with such a stunning beauty by your side, how could you still be interested in other vulgar women?"
"How can this Xu family's daughter so casually slander someone's reputation?"
"She was just a country bumpkin before, and now she's back in a wealthy family. Why would she want to be an actress? She's not presentable in the first place, so only the Xu family treats her like a treasure."
"Apologize! Don't spoil her."
Xu Yueyao's cheeks flushed red, but Lu Xuan had no intention of defending her at all.
Li Beiting continued to speak, but there was a hint of threat in his words.
"Apologize, otherwise I will doubt that Mr. Xu will not teach his daughter well. There should be no future for her to cooperate with such a person, right?"
After hearing the meaning of the man's words, Xu Yueyao felt ashamed and embarrassed.
This man has so many backgrounds, and he even threatens the Xu family...
If she doesn't bow her head, who knows what the consequences will be.
Thinking of this, Xu Yueyao's face turned red.
"sorry."
Then he turned and fled, but his eyes were lit with hatred.
She absolutely could not tolerate Jiang Yao continuing to live so carefree. If he continued like this, it wouldn't be long before her reputation would be completely ruined.
People like her should be completely dragged into the abyss of hell and taste the pain she once suffered!!
Thinking of this, Xu Yueyao's eyes flashed, and she hid in the corner and secretly made a phone call.
…
The incident was settled. Jiang Yao looked at Li Beiting beside him with a complicated look in his eyes.
In the past, she had been slandered and defamed so many times, but no one had ever stood up to speak for her, let alone asked for an apology.
But the senior, who had only known her for a short time, ignored the looks from everyone around him and stood up to defend her...
This gave her an indescribable feeling in her chest.
She thought she had stopped caring about it, but it still shocked her.
Senior, you are really a friend worth making friends with.
"Senior, thank you for defending me just now."
"I was just telling the truth."
Li Beiting looked down at her and said, "You are a very good person. You shouldn't be slandered by them like this."
Jiang Yao chuckled.
"But there is one thing you said wrong."
"Um?"
Jiang Yao blinked and said sincerely.
"I don't take you lightly. I value my relationship with my senior."
Li Beiting was stunned when he heard this, then he curled his lips unconsciously, and his mood inexplicably improved.
"Okay, then to show your appreciation, just... look at me a few more times."
Jiang Yao was stunned. Although she knew that Li Beiting's words were just a joke, she inexplicably heard something different in his words.
Is it an illusion?
She has been feeling a little strange recently. Why does she always have a strange feeling every time she gets along with her senior?
Jiang Yao tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, and then submitted the reserve price for the auction.
Not long after, President Xi finally selected two companies from a batch of reports.
It happened to be the Lu family and Li Heng.
He personally invited the three of them into the rest area inside.
Tea and snacks were also placed on the table.
"Both of your offers are very much in line with my expectations. Regarding the future development of the land, could you please explain it to me in detail so that I can make a final decision?"
Mr. Xi sat upright, looked at the person opposite him, and raised the questions in his mind.
Lu Xuan glanced at Li Beiting beside him with a somewhat obscure look, then straightened his face and spoke out the lines he had prepared in advance.
He will not lose. He just wants to let Jiang Yao see that he is also very good.
If he leaves me, Jiang Yao will regret it and turn back...
