Chapter 45 Jiang·The Spirited Young Man·Red-Haired Chicken·Yu Bai

The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it stopped the laughter around him immediately and everyone looked over.

Meng Zhiyi held Shen Que's arm and looked sideways, and saw a man about the same age as Shen Que walking towards them.

He has a head of flamboyant red hair and a very pale complexion, which makes him look a little sick. He wears cold grey contact lenses and has a malicious smile on his lips.

Shen Que just glanced at the man who was approaching with indifference, then leaned down and whispered in Meng Zhiyi's ear: "He is Jiang Yubai."

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashing with coldness, and then she spoke back in a strangled voice: "Dear, how come you still know this spirited young man? He looks like a red-haired chicken."

[You stinky red-haired guy, you dare to call me a fool, you think I'm easy to bully, right? 】

Jiang Yubai didn't expect Meng Zhiyi to be so bold that he dared to fight back in public and even called himself a red-haired chicken.

His facial expression changed, and the look he gave Meng Zhiyi instantly became sinister.

However, after only one glance, he turned to look at Shen Que, and said in a tone that was somewhat forbearing, but also extremely malicious: "It seems that the rumors are true. You, Shen Que, can actually accept a fool who has no sense of propriety and integrity as your fiancée. Have you been hungry for too long? How about I find you a few?"

Before Shen Que could even open his mouth, Meng Zhiyi had already retorted: "Back off, back off, back off, don't put any dirty things in front of my baby."

"Besides, I heard that the young master of the Jiang family has a chaotic private life..." As he said this, Meng Zhiyi raised his other hand to cover his nose, and looked up and down at Jiang Yubai with disgust.

Jiang Yubai felt very uncomfortable when she looked at him.

Before he could fight back, Meng Zhiyi's eyes finally fell on Jiang Yubai's crotch and continued, "For someone like you who is not picky about food, be careful that it will go bad one day."

"?"

The reason why Shen Que did not stop it was that he knew Meng Zhiyi's character that would not tolerate any loss, and it would be useless to stop her.

But after hearing her blunt words, I still felt helpless.

What's more, where is this young lady looking at?

He pulled away the hand that Meng Zhiyi was holding, put it around her shoulders, and covered her eyes with his palm.

【？ 】

【Why are you covering my eyes? 】

[I haven't scolded you enough yet, you are affecting my fighting ability. ]

Shen Que ignored her thoughts.

A cold and magnetic voice came out from his lips: "Just take care of yourself."

"That's right, take care of yourself." Although his eyes were covered, Meng Zhiyi continued to say: "He doesn't look like he is on the same level as you. Don't have much contact with him in the future, don't let him lead you astray."

"Yeah." Shen Que responded in a low voice, then turned around and walked inside, holding her in his arms.

Jiang Yubai looked extremely unhappy. He stood there, looking at their backs angrily.

But as he watched, he didn't get angry but laughed instead, and his eyes on Meng Zhiyi gradually became interested.

His eyes were full of amusement. Why was this Meng Zhiyi different from the rumors? Moreover, even Shen Que's attitude towards her was different from what he knew.

"Go check out this Meng Zhiyi." He tilted his head and said to the bodyguard behind him.

*

On the other side, Shen Que brought Meng Zhiyi into the box.

Meng Zhiyi immediately walked away from him, rushed to the sofa and sat down without any image.

"Does this Jiang Yubai have any grudge against you?"

She leaned lazily, looked at Shen Que curiously and asked.

[The original book did not mention any grudges between Jiang Yubai and Shen Que, it only mentioned that they later fought for Song Wei.]

[Hmm... why are there so many missing pieces of information? Did the author not write them, or did Xiaoba miss them? ]

[If they are mortal enemies, then maybe we can use that red-haired guy...]

Shen Que saw the eagerness in her eyes and felt a dull pain between his eyebrows.

He took a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator and walked over. After he squeezed it out for her, he said, "He's not a good person. You should stay away from him in the future."

Meng Zhiyi took the water he handed over with a smile and nodded sincerely: "Okay, I'll listen to my boyfriend."

[Not a good person, that's great. ]

[If Shen Que found out that his fiancée was involved with his mortal enemy, he would be furious.]

[Oops, that was a mistake. This guy was obviously trying to give me some credit. I shouldn't have scolded Jiang Yubai just now.]

“…”

Shen Que knew that Meng Zhiyi was not the kind of person who would listen to others.

However, under the current circumstances, it was impossible for him to directly tell Meng Zhiyi about some things about the Jiang family.

Come to think of it, I'll have to keep a closer eye on her in the future.

Next up is the auction.

The meeting room outside was already full of people, and the private rooms were filled with people of great status and power.

Each box is equipped with a screen synchronized with the venue, as well as a tablet for guests to select and learn about the auction items.

Meng Zhiyi was lying on the sofa, holding a tablet in her hands, looking through the treasures at tonight's auction.

Soon, she saw the jade bracelet that Shen Que mentioned.

The bracelet is transparent and icy, really nice.

Meng Zhiyi was already calculating in her mind how much the bracelet could be sold for.

Shen Que, who was sitting next to her, rubbed his temples helplessly as he listened silently to her plan on how to resell the bracelet.

Suddenly, Meng Zhiyi beside him sat up straight, looking at the introduction of the treasures on the tablet with surprise in his eyes.

Why is it here?

Shen Que's eyebrows moved slightly, and he glanced at the tablet calmly.

It was a jade pendant made of white jade and carved into a pattern of two fish playing with a pearl. There was not much information in the introduction column of the jade pendant, and even the origin and age of the jade pendant were written as unknown.

However, it was clear from Meng Zhiyi's thoughts just now that he knew about this jade pendant.

Sure enough, the next second, Meng Zhiyi came in front of him holding a tablet.

"Shen Que, I want this."

"This jade pendant is worthless. It's even a defective item in this auction. What do you want it for?" Shen Que had a puzzled expression on his face, but in his heart he was expecting Meng Zhiyi to reveal something else.

"It...it looks good." Meng Zhiyi quickly found an excuse, but was afraid that Shen Que would continue to ask, so she threw the tablet on the sofa and shook him by the arm: "I want this one. You take the picture for me, and I can pay for it myself."

Shen Que slowly picked up the tablet, seemingly looking at the jade pendant, but actually waiting.

Meng Zhiyi said nothing more, but looked at Shen Que expectantly.

[That was the last thing my grandma left me. One day it suddenly disappeared and I searched for it for a long time.]

【Why is it here? 】

[Have I been to this world before? Then why don't I have any memory of it? In the past, when I completed a mission, the system never erased my memory.]

[No, I'll go back later. I want to ask the system what's going on.]

Meng Zhiyi's inner voice stopped, and Shen Que also got the answer he wanted.

"If I tell you I'll buy it for you, I won't let you spend your own money."

Shen Que said this calmly, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

After a while, the staff member pushed the door open carrying an exquisite box.

"Mr. Shen, this is what you want."

Under Meng Zhiyi's puzzled gaze, the staff opened the box and found the jade pendant inside.

"Jade pendant!"

She jumped up suddenly and held it in her palm lovingly.

The staff member at the side kept a professional smile and slowly explained: "This jade pendant was originally intended to be given as a gift. There is a small flaw on the back of the jade pendant. Miss, do you think you can accept it?"

Meng Zhiyi quickly turned it over and saw a crack on the back.

"I can accept it, I can accept it." She answered repeatedly, with a warm look in her eyes.

[It is this, it is really this, my grandma left it for me! ]

【Great, I finally found it. 】

Meng Zhiyi held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, and in the eyes of the staff nearby, she seemed to be in love with it.

Shen Que waved his hand to let the staff go out, and quietly watched the smile that had been lost and regained on Meng Zhiyi's face.

So, who are you and where do you come from?
