Chapter 680: Used, but not very effective
Soon, the emotions in Shen Ci's heart gradually shifted and appeared on her face and in her eyes.
Disdain, contempt, and even a hint of mockery at the corners of his mouth.
Li Xiao saw it clearly and his heart suddenly tightened.
He never expected that when he saw Shen Ci again, the other party's reaction to him would be exactly the same as before!
But what he didn't know was that Shen Ci had already seen him in this bluffing state in his previous life.
In his previous life, Li Xiao became famous with the academic papers he plagiarized from Shen Ci, and then he got rid of Shen Ci without leaving any explanation.
Three years later, when Chen Ci entered a scientific research institution with her talent and hard work and became Li Xiao's direct subordinate, Li Xiao standing in front of her also looked like this.
No, that scene was profound and unforgettable, even funnier than today.
On that day, he appeared to be in high spirits and high spirits, and he looked down upon her. However, only Chen Ci knew that Li Xiao was a piece of rotten rubbish inside, and all the fame he had gained was due to that paper, the paper he had written.
How could Li Xiao not know this?
So ever since Chen Ci entered the agency, he has been on high alert every day, and finally kicked Chen Ci out of the agency again using dirty means.
People who are guilty of something always have paranoia, so they will certainly not keep a time bomb around them.
This time, the time, scene, and opportunity when the two met again had undergone earth-shaking changes. The most important thing was that Chen Ci's state of mind was completely different from his previous life.
So, she looked at Li Xiao and said calmly, "You've become uglier!"
Li Xiao frowned, as if he thought he had misheard, but before he could say anything, a slender hand naturally wrapped around his arm.
"Li Xiao, your friend?"
A beautiful girl appeared next to Li Xiao. Although she was speaking to Li Xiao, her eyes were on Shen Ci.
Seeing Chen Ci appearing in such an occasion in an inappropriate casual outfit, the girl could hardly hide her disgust between her brows, but when her eyes wandered to Chen Ci's face, she instantly became alert.
Li Xiao smiled at the girl and explained generously, "Old classmate."
He didn’t say she was his ex-girlfriend, or even a friend, but defined Shen Ci as an old classmate, as if he was deliberately trying to tell Shen Ci that he had long since stopped caring about her.
After hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but sneer. When he looked up, Su Zheyuan also walked over.
"Do you know him?"
Su Zheyuan looked at Li Xiao with curiosity and asked.
Shen Ci curled her lips: “I don’t know it, but I have used it.”
Su Zheyuan looked at Chen Ci in shock, and even Li Xiao and the girl's pupils dilated at the same time after hearing her words.
Then Shen Ci shook his head in disgust: "It doesn't work very well!"
"Chen Ci!" A crack immediately appeared in the noble and profound personality that Li Xiao had created, and he looked at Chen Ci with a hint of anger in his eyes.
It's all old news. Just because he failed once, Chen Ci dragged him out again and again to have his corpse whipped!
Su Zheyuan immediately cast a sympathetic look towards Li Xiao.
As a man, he knows what it means to be told no by a woman.
Shen Ci just shrugged provocatively, not bothering to talk nonsense with him and turned to walk inside.
Su Zheyuan saw this and quickly followed: "What's going on? A one-night stand?"
Shen Ci glanced at him lightly: "Ask about what you should know."
"Oh, right." Su Zheyuan reacted: "I just asked, and experts said that at exhibitions of this level, generally no one will actively sell exhibits, but if you like any, you can take the initiative to negotiate."
"I took the initiative?"
"If you're interested, just talk to me. Maybe someone's willing to sell it to you!"
Shen Ci felt a little troubled: “Let’s take a look first.”
On the other side, Li Xiao looked at Chen Ci not far away and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.
He thought that facing the new him, Shen Ci would be somewhat moved, but he didn't expect...
"Li Xiao, was what she just said true?" The girl next to her asked, covering her mouth, her tone unable to conceal her shock: "You two..."
"Of course not."
Li Xiao patted the girl's hand and said soothingly, "She was my college classmate before I went abroad. We haven't seen each other for over a year. Before I went abroad, she had always had a crush on me and pursued me, but I didn't agree."
"Didn't agree?" The girl thought of Shen Ci's face, a face that no man could refuse, so she asked in confusion: "Why?"
Li Xiao blurted out an explanation without hesitation: "The difference in our family backgrounds is too great. She might really like me, but I always worry that her motives are not pure."
"I see..."
Seeing that Li Xiao spoke naturally and confidently, the girl believed him.
Moreover, the girl just now came here in casual clothes, which was indeed out of place in such an upper-class place. This made her believe Li Xiao's words even more.
"I knew it, you came dressed like that." The girl sneered and said, "That guy just now must be her current boyfriend. He looks quite rich."
Li Xiao continued, "So I'm even more certain of my opinion of her. She wants a rich boyfriend. Luckily, I was sober at the time. Just now, she said that because she was still holding a grudge against me for rejecting her. Don't take it seriously."
"No, you're so young, how could it be impossible?" The girl said delicately, blushing: "I don't believe a word of it."
Li Xiao smiled and took the girl's hand in his: "Take me to say hello to Uncle Qiu first!"
On the other side, Chen Ci had already locked onto a pair of white jade bracelets.
“I want this!”
She fell in love with it at first sight and could even imagine how her mother and aunt would look wearing it. Her only philosophy when buying things was that if she hesitated, she wouldn't buy it. If she liked it at first sight, she would definitely buy it.
"White jade?" Su Zheyuan glanced at Chen Ci and said, "Imperial green is so nice."
"This color looks warm and elegant, suitable for my mother."
Seeing that she was picking it for Aunt Shen, Su Zheyuan didn’t say much: “Then go sit over there for a while, I’ll go and ask for you.”
Shen Ci looked in the direction he pointed and found that there was a sofa area inside the exhibition. At this time, many people were sitting there in twos and threes chatting, but there was no one she knew.
I can't help but sigh that there are so many rich people in Longcheng.
She walked over and found a place to sit down, but the next second a man in a suit and a waiter came and sat down at the seat next to her.
The waiter was holding an ebony tray with a piece of red silk on it and an exquisite wooden box on top.
The wooden box had no lid, and inside it lay a sky-blue oval jadeite.
This size is called "pigeon egg" in the industry!
