Chapter 4 Are you thirsty?
"I told you, don't be so close to her." Catherine looked at her daughter with disappointment, pulled her arm and whispered.
Xu Xizhen felt aggrieved: "It was you who left us alone there."
Katrin was speechless. She glared at her clueless daughter helplessly and changed the subject: "Shen Shouli from the Shen family is here today. I heard he has also signed up for the Moye Military Academy. Have you seen him?"
Shen Shouli was invited by her with great difficulty.
Xu Chengbi used to be a subordinate of the old man of the Shen family. The old man of the Shen family is now 60 years old and in his prime. He sits firmly on the throne of admiral and is also the principal of Longyuan Military Academy. Shen's father also holds an important position in the political arena. The Shen family is the object of flattery even by the current Prince Norton.
If everyone in the central area of the capital star was born in Rome, then Shen Shouli was born at the top of the Roman Palace.
Even putting aside his family background, his own mental strength level test is S+, and he is destined to be a favored child in the military.
If Xu Xizhen could get to know him better, even if there was no romantic relationship between them, it would be of great benefit to their joint development in the military in the future.
Lady Catherine is a man of foresight, but her daughter is careless.
"Who knows where he went? I didn't install any surveillance cameras on him." Xu Xizhen was a little confused by the question.
Catherine looked around and saw that no one was looking at her. She calmly slapped her daughter on the head and pulled her to continue socializing.
-
If you put away your sneaky face before doing something bad, perhaps your success rate will be higher.
Xu Lingqu stood by the small fountain in the garden, her eyes fixed on the two ice-blue ornamental fish in the pond, but she was very clearly aware of the two people "plotting" behind her.
She had never seen or known these two people, but since they were invited by Lady Catherine, they must be either rich or noble.
At this time, the two young masters should have discussed how to deal with Xu Lingqu, who seemed to be unaware of their existence. Before they took any action, they had evil smiles on their faces.
Xu Lingqu sighed helplessly and continued to stand there calmly. A slight breeze blew behind her, and she seemed to move sideways inadvertently, perfectly avoiding the man's hand when it was about to push her back.
The irresistible thrust and the irresistible gravity caused the man to inevitably fall into the fountain.
"Puff." There was a loud sound, and the splashing water wet Xu Lingqu's skirt.
The other person who was giving advice but not hitting anyone seemed to have not expected such a sudden turn of events to happen, and hurried forward to check the situation.
Xu Lingqu turned lightly and saw the other man lying on the edge of the fountain trying to rescue someone. He raised his foot and sent him down, reuniting the two.
Another person also threw himself into the fountain in a ridiculous posture.
"Yeah." Xu Lingqu calmly turned around and looked at the two drowned rats in the fountain. "Are you two thirsty?"
The two people's consecutive "jumping into the fountain" made quite a noise, and the home robot guarding the garden immediately sounded the alarm, attracting the people who were having a party in the backyard.
When Lady Catherine and the others hurried over, holding up their skirts, the two men had just climbed out of the fountain and were wringing the water out of their clothes in a panic.
"What are you doing?" Xu Xizhen, who had joined in the fun, spoke first, identifying the two men. "Lawrence and Jones, what are you two doing? Stealing our fish?"
Cousins Lawrence and Jones were renowned prodigals and unscrupulous prodigals in the Weile family. Their commonplace activities included flying their aircraft on the capital's main thoroughfares, sauntering through red-light districts, and even once assaulting a wealthy businessman's son in the street for no apparent reason, simply because they disliked him.
Xu Xizhen immediately walked over to Xu Lingqu, who was standing nearby, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Judging from the scene, Xu Lingqu was alone with those two bastards just now. Who knows if these two lunatics bullied Xu Lingqu alone.
"It's okay. I just thought you two gentlemen were thirsty. I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen such a way of replenishing water." Xu Lingqu said.
Jones, who had dyed his hair green, glared at her.
Originally, he and Lawrence passed by with the intention of bullying this "adopted daughter" of the admiral's family who was obviously not favored. They expected that given her status, Lady Catherine would not support her even if she was pushed into the fountain.
Unexpectedly, the woman seemed to have eyes on her back and was keenly aware of Lawrence's movements. She made Lawrence throw himself into the fountain and kicked Jones, who came to rescue him, into the fountain as well.
"It's not right for you to distance yourself from the matter, Miss Xu. It was clearly you who kicked me in." Jones's face was gloomy. He couldn't swallow this.
"I kicked you?" Xu Lingqu laughed. "Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Xizhen was so angry that he pointed at Jones' nose and cursed, "You're causing trouble in our house, and you want to throw dirty water on my sister?"
She called "sister" very smoothly, but her movements were not ladylike at all. Mrs. Catlin, who was standing beside her, felt her heart skip a beat.
There is no surveillance in the garden of Xu Mansion, so there is no way to verify it.
Jones, who had done so many evil things, failed to do his first evil deed and was scolded. He was about to explode with rage, but Lawrence next to him was as stupid as a saw-mouthed gourd and didn't say a word, leaving him to fight alone.
Suddenly, a person walked out from the tree-shaded path beside the fountain.
The man was wearing a light brown windbreaker, he had a slender figure, an upright posture, dark hair, and sparkling light brown pupils. He was too handsome, and the combination of his facial features was very intuitively beautiful, and he was very impactful at first sight.
When Jones saw him, he subconsciously shrank for a moment, then shouted as if he had seen reinforcements: "Chen Shouli! You must have seen it. Your mental strength is S+ level. You must have seen that it was this woman who kicked me."
Shen Shouli? Xu Lingqu was a little confused and looked at Xu Xizhen beside him, only to see her surprised and pouting softly, "Every time she appears, she acts like a big star. It's so annoying."
Seeing Xu Lingqu beside him looking confused, Xu Xizhen briefly introduced to her how powerful the background of this Young Master Shen was.
Xu Lingqu nodded thoughtfully. With an S+ level of mental power, it was indeed possible for him to see her kicking someone.
But so what? She wasn't the first to start the fight. Could it be that this person only saw her kicking someone and didn't see Lawrence push her first?
Although Shen Shouli's name is Shouli, his family background and appearance are there, which are his natural assets worth showing off. He certainly cannot be a well-educated and well-mannered young master as his grandfather wishes.
But after all, he was raised by General Shen himself, and he did not grow up to be a playboy, nor did he do anything out of line to live up to his name. At most, he was a little spoiled and would always ignore people he was not interested in. At the same time, he despised those playboys the most.
Therefore, people like Jones used to treat him like a mouse seeing a cat, but this time they truly regarded him as their savior.
"You must have seen it." Jones looked at him expectantly.
Shen Shouli's amber eyes glanced at him, then fell on Xu Lingqu who was not far away.
Xu Lingqu did not avoid the gaze and looked back calmly.
The two people's eyes met in the air, Shen Shouli retracted his gaze, he snorted coldly: "I didn't see it." After that, he nodded to Madam Katrin and left.
Jones showed an expression of disbelief. He trembled and raised his still wet sleeve, wanting to point at Shen Shouli and question him, but he didn't have the courage, so in the end he put his hand down silently.
Lawrence was so frightened that he almost squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.
The farce was almost over here. The incident was clear and there were witnesses. Lady Katrin frowned and said, "Lady Weile, if you and Weile have failed to educate these two young people in your family, I don't mind helping you teach them a lesson."
She waved her hand gently, and two guards had already controlled Jones and Lawrence, who were still wet.
Her words were quite harsh, directly pointing out the entire Weile family. Mrs. Weile's face paled instantly in the crowd, and she apologized repeatedly to Mrs. Katrin, "Mrs. Katrin, it's our fault for not disciplining her properly... Please..."
"Hand them over to the police station. I heard that Chief Inspector Wen has been looking for them recently." When Mrs. Catherine had a cold face, she was an absolute ice beauty. She was intimidating without even being angry, and scared everyone present so much that they dared not breathe.
Xu Xizhen gloated in Xu Lingqu's ear: "Mother already hates these two hooligans. They dare to bully you in our house. They will definitely pay the price."
Then she must really hate these two people, Xu Lingqu thought silently.
In the end, the banquet for Xu Lingqu's debut ended with the guards escorting the two interstellar gangsters to the police station for tea.
When Xu Lingqu returned to his room, he saw Ms. Gina assembling a large instrument with the service robot.
"Miss Lingqu," Ms. Gina introduced to the puzzled Xu Lingqu, "This is a device given to Master Youwen by his military friend to activate and test his mental power."
