Shi Xi drew a conclusion.
Lin Zeran had followed Xiao Wanjun here.
In the original storyline, Lin Zeran took a liking to Xiao Wanjun after protecting him, and tried every means to create chance encounters, lowering her posture and acting cute and ingratiating.
Xiao Wanjun, however, felt that he was going crazy and avoided him at all costs.
No wonder I sensed a hint of resentment when I sent the message.
So he was unhappy that Xiao Wanjun was with him, and he was jealous.
Tsk tsk tsk, it's fun to mistreat your wife for a while, but you'll be in deep trouble trying to win her back, right?
Shi Xi cast a sympathetic glance at Lin Zeran.
Forget it, a beauty like that isn't someone you can win over.
...
Lin Zeran watched the SUV leave the parking lot with a grim expression, gritting his teeth and growling, "Xiao...Wan...Jun..."
In fact, he had already arrived here before sending a message to Shi Xi.
Jiang Ge said he couldn't attend the movie premiere because of other commitments, but he didn't care.
He had originally planned to give Brother Jiang a ride, but before he could even speak, he saw Brother Jiang get straight into Xiao Wanjun's car.
Lin Zeran was absolutely certain that Xiao Wanjun had seen him just now.
That's why she deliberately kissed Brother Jiang in front of him!
Stray dog, stray dog, stray dog! Xiao Wanjun, that damned stray dog!!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes were filled with rage, and the veins on his hands bulged as he clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the steering wheel.
He was incredibly strong, as if what was in front of him wasn't a steering wheel, but Xiao Wanjun's face that he loathed.
What made Lin Zeran even more uneasy was that Brother Jiang did not reject Xiao Wanjun's advances.
What is Jiang Ge's relationship with him now?
Are they just good friends?
Or...boyfriend?
No, he needs to know exactly what their relationship is.
We can't let Brother Jiang be fooled by that stray dog, Xiao Wanjun!
...
Leaving the parking lot, while waiting for the traffic light to change.
Xiao Wanjun turned her head and glanced at Shi Xi, who was looking down at her phone, and asked, "Why are you dressed so simply?"
To say it was simple would be an understatement. Shi Xi was dressed very plainly, without any embellishments such as a lapel pin, handkerchief, chain, cufflinks, or brooch. She only wore a Rolex watch.
The price of this watch is only a fraction of the price of his brooch.
Even so, Jiang Feng was still so handsome that he couldn't take his eyes off him.
Shi Xi said calmly, "The Qin family banquet is attended by prominent families. Companies like the Jiang family are just going through the motions; there's no need for them to dress too extravagantly..."
Despite the Jiang family's continuous growth and expansion in recent years, Jiang Sheng Construction is a well-known enterprise in Beijing.
But it's nothing compared to a wealthy family like the Qin family, whose net worth exceeds one trillion.
Upon hearing the phrase "a company like Jiang's," Xiao Wanjun frowned deeply and pursed her lips, seemingly unwilling to hear Shi Xi's defeated tone.
Jiang Feng is still young. He has become a rising star in the business world after only a little over a year of taking over Jiang Sheng Construction, which is enough to show his outstanding abilities.
There's absolutely no need to belittle yourself.
"That's not how it works."
Xiao Wanjun suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi looked up and was caught off guard, meeting a pair of deep, starry eyes.
"With your abilities, sooner or later, the Jiang family will be able to surpass the Qin family."
This usually aloof man now looked serious and resolute, as if what he was saying was a fact that would come true sooner or later.
Shi Xi's hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone, shocked.
No, my beauty, you're giving me way too much credit!
How could I, a devoted male supporting character, possibly surpass the main male lead...?
Perhaps it's because he hasn't seen just how enormous the Qin family really is?
Qin Huaixi's mother is of British royal blood, and his father is extremely powerful, with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Even the Italian Mafia has to give him some face.
Qin Huaixi was in no way inferior to his father, and even surpassed him. Under his ruthless methods, the Qin family firmly established itself as the uncrowned king of the business world.
Ten Jiang Sheng Construction companies wouldn't be enough to compete with the Qin family.
Once she's seen it for herself, the great beauty won't think that way anymore.
After a long pause, Shi Xi finally spoke: "...I hope that day will come."
The atmosphere has been built up to this point, it wouldn't be right not to make a promise.
Just then, the light turned green, and Xiao Wanjun's lips curled up slightly, her eyes, usually bright and clear, brimming with smiles.
"It will happen."
He said softly.
...
Shi Xi didn't know if the cake was real or not.
Anyway, looking at the luxury cars parked in front of the manor, he felt a little regretful.
He should have driven that black Porsche tonight; after all, this is his last chance to show off.
They arrived at a time that was neither too early nor too late, and the banquet hall was already filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and toasts.
Charming and elegant socialites, dressed in haute couture gowns, gathered in small groups among the impeccably dressed celebrities...
Few people noticed them.
Even if they notice someone has arrived, they only come over for a few polite greetings.
Although Shi Xi introduced Xiao Wanjun as a friend, they only thought that Xiao Wanjun had found a new backer, and their eyes showed a hint of disdain. They didn't take him seriously.
It's perfectly normal for actors in the entertainment industry to seek financial backers.
Moreover, this minor celebrity is now infamous.
Xiao Wanjun didn't care about the mocking looks from these people, as long as they didn't talk nonsense.
The two found a quiet corner to stay in.
"Wan Jun, I'm going to the restroom." Shi Xi said to Xiao Wan Jun as she saw Qin Huaixi walking in their direction.
Tsk, it's such a pity we can't see such a great show.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
Xiao Wanjun gave a soft "hmm," his expression indifferent, clearly showing he wasn't enthusiastic about the banquet.
Shi Xi put down her champagne and got up to leave.
He had barely left when Qin Huaixi walked over.
Seeing that Xiao Wanjun was the only one there, he surveyed the entire banquet hall.
Where did they go?
His gaze returned to Xiao Wanjun, glancing at the lotus-shaped ruby brooch on his chest, and his eyebrows rose slightly.
Then she looked up and said to him, "This brooch is beautiful. Did you choose it?"
Xiao Wanjun looked up at Qin Huaixi and said, "No, it was my friend who chose it."
Qin Huaixi chuckled softly: "They're friends."
Xiao Wanjun was taken aback, then realized something was wrong. She frowned, looked at Qin Huaixi, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Huaixi's lips curled into a slight smile. She stepped forward, bent down, and maintained a comfortable distance from him. "I fell in love with your friend at first sight. I was wondering if he needs a boyfriend?"
The latter's heart skipped a beat.
I never expected that attending a banquet would attract another despicable person who covets Jiang Feng!
Shi Xi stood on the secluded terrace... He watched Qin Huaixi and Xiao Wanjun whispering sweet nothings to each other, gazing deeply into each other's eyes, and chatting happily.
Full of confidence and 999 sighed with emotion—
"Cold Relief Medicine, those two are going to get together."
