Chapter 80: Unmasking the Green Tea Mask
Dong Chenli came over again with a smile on her face, followed by Lu Xuan with a wooden face.
"I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. I was actually trying to say that I've always admired you. Your speech just now was truly brilliant. I'd like to invite you out for dinner as an apology. Is that okay?"
There was a cautious plea in her eyes.
"No need." Jiang Yao was unmoved.
Dong Chenli felt a little hurt and turned to look at Lu Xuan for help.
"Mr. Lu, aren't you very familiar with Senior Sister Jiang? Could you please invite Senior Sister for me? We can go out for dinner together. I'll treat you."
Lu Xuan's heart moved slightly, but of course he still had to put on a cold and hard attitude on his face.
"Jiang Yao, you heard it too! Lili invited you so sincerely, can't you put aside your noble attitude?"
Dong Chenli immediately showed a pitiful expression.
Jiang Yao finally understood now.
She suddenly chuckled and looked at Dong Chenli.
"Dong Xuemei, you said my speech was wonderful. So, may I ask what was the most difficult thing I encountered in my major?"
Dong Chenli was stunned. She didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and her mind was confused for a moment.
Seeing that she couldn't answer for a moment, Jiang Yao continued to ask: "How did I overcome the difficulties?"
“Why did I choose this major?”
After being asked three questions in a row, Dong Chenli was like a duck with its throat strangled, unable to answer a single word.
Even Lu Xuan looked at her with some surprise. After all, they had just listened to it together, and it had only been a short time. It was impossible for her to have forgotten everything.
"Is this what you call admiration and sincerity? In fact, you didn't even listen to my speech. You deliberately ran in front of me and acted to get close to me. Don't you feel hypocritical?"
Jiang Yao exposed her mask in just a few words.
Dong Chenli's face turned pale. "I, I didn't..."
All the sophistry sounds pale and powerless.
Jiang Yao sneered.
She now understood Dong Chenli's intention of deliberately coming over to get close to her and throwing water on her.
"To put it bluntly, you just want to act weak and innocent in front of Lu Xuan, making it seem like I'm bullying you to gain sympathy. Am I just part of your play?
You can catch him however you want from now on, but please don’t take me with you.”
Her words almost tore off Dong Chenli's face and exposed it to the sun.
"Senior, you really misunderstood me..."
Dong Chenli thought quickly and burst into tears, "I just wanted to help Mr. Lu talk to you, so I did that. I really didn't mean anything else."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he came back to his senses from his doubts.
Yes.
Dong Chenli said from the beginning that she did all this to help her win Jiang Yao back.
Thinking of this, he immediately stepped forward and protected Dong Chenli behind him.
"That's enough, Jiang Yao. Can you please stop judging others by your own standards? Lili has a simple personality and is not the kind of person you describe her as."
Jiang Yao instantly looked at him as if he was a mentally retarded person.
"Lu Xuan, I used to think you were just arrogant and selfish, but now I understand that you're actually brainless!"
After all, he is the head of the Lu family, but he can't see through this green tea trick.
Was she under a spell in the first place?
How could I fall for such a stupid man?
Jiang Yao took two steps back in disgust.
"They say the same thing goes that people get stained by the company they keep. You'd better stay away from me from now on. I'm afraid of getting infected."
After he finished speaking, Lu Xuan's face turned pale.
Jiang Yao didn't even look at him again.
Li Beiting happened to come back and asked, "What happened?"
In front of this man, Lu Xuan did not dare to be too presumptuous. He could only clench his fists tightly and suppress the evil fire in his heart.
"It's okay, just a moron. Let's go."
Jiang Yao left the venue with him directly.
Lu Xuan was left so angry that his internal organs were about to explode.
"Mr. Lu, don't be angry. It's my fault that I didn't perform well and failed to create any opportunities for you."
Dong Chenli looked guilty and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame me."
"I don't blame you."
After this incident, Lu Xuan's impression of her became even better.
They have similar faces, so why can't Jiang Yao be as obedient as Dong Chenli!
…
After coming out of the venue, Jiang Yao asked Li Beiting curiously.
"What did Professor Song say to you just now?"
"He praised your quick mind and brilliant speech, and said he'd like to discuss professional knowledge with you next time he has the chance."
Li Beiting lowered his eyes and looked at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Really?"
Jiang Yao was a little flattered.
Li Beiting said seriously: "Well, he asked me to take you to see him next time when I have time."
To be precise, what Professor Song said was, next time you have the chance, bring your smart girlfriend here.
"With pleasure."
Jiang Yao's mood suddenly became much brighter, and even the annoyance she felt when Lu Xuan was pestering her disappeared.
After that, the two had another meal together, and Li Beiting drove her home.
Before getting off the car, Li Beiting suddenly told her.
"By the way, I won't be here for the next two days. Just call me if you have anything."
Jiang Yao thought it was quite a coincidence. The weekend was coming soon and she was about to leave and go back to South City.
But she still asked a question.
"Are you going on a business trip?"
"Go back home to be with my elders."
Li Beiting did not hide it.
Jiang Yao thought, this is even more of a coincidence.
Thinking of her grandparents, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Senior, I happen to be meeting two important elders whom I've never met in the next two days. Do you know what special attention should be paid to when interacting with elders?"
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a moment and said.
"If they truly love you, you don't need to do anything special, just let it go. With your personality, no elder would dislike you."
Jiang Yao felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
"I'm not RMB, how can everyone like me?"
"Anyone who doesn't like you has no taste."
Li Beiting said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Jiang Yao almost blurted out: What about you!
When the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized what she was thinking. Her cheeks instantly became hot, her heartbeat became irregular, and she hurriedly opened the car door.
"Then I'll go back first."
After saying that, he almost ran away.
Only after returning to the room did she let out a long sigh.
My heart is still beating very fast, and I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I'll have to find a chance to go and see it some other day.
…
The next day, when Jiang Yao went to school, she found that more eyes were on her.
Some are curious, some are amazed, and some are in admiration.
I found out after I returned to the research institute and asked Lian Yingying.
"Yaoyao, you don't know that your wonderful speech at the seminar yesterday was recorded on video and uploaded to the forum. It's been viewed over a million times. Many people praised you for being not only beautiful, but also smart and eloquent. They called you a true genius and regarded you as a role model."
Lian Yingying herself watched that video more than ten times, and her admiration grew with each watch.
Such a treasure is actually a senior who is in the same group with her.
She must have done good deeds in her previous life to have such good luck in this life.
Jiang Yao blushed at the praise.
But after this incident, she did become more famous.
After a busy day, I went home. Today is Friday and tomorrow is the weekend.
Jiang Yao went downstairs carrying a lot of bags. Jiang Haozhe was already waiting by the car, planning to take her and Wang Ma back to South City.
