Chapter 24

Huang Mei’s eyes widened. “What? Your sister actually has a fiancé?”

“It’s the second young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Qi.”

As Si Xue spoke, a trace of disdain flashed past her eyes. It was obvious that she hated the man she was talking about.

When Huang Mei heard that, her eyes were also filled with disdain.

Although the Jiang family was the number one aristocratic family in Xiang City and had immense power,

Jiang Qi could be said to be an ignorant and incompetent playboy rich second-generation heirs. He didn’t have much ability and only knew how to drink, womanize and gamble.

It was said that he was especially crazy when it came to women. He changed them every night and never repeated them.

If he took a fancy to any woman, that woman would immediately be unlucky!

Although Huang Mei was born into an ordinary family, her parents were only working clerks and did not have much culture, she just couldn’t stand a playboy like Jiang Qi. What if she provoked him and accidentally got an illness from him?!

“Little Xue, why didn’t you say earlier that Si Fan was Jiang Qi’s fiancée?”

One was a piece of trash that the director had slept with, and the other was a playboy. They were a perfect match!

Si Xue smiled without saying anything.

Because she was the one who had a betrothal with Jiang Qi, not Si Fan.

But she looked down on a disgusting scum like Jiang Qi from the start, so she thought of a way to get her father to swap her with Si Fan.

Perhaps the Jiang family really felt that Jiang Qi was not worthy of her, so they agreed to her father’s request.

And she would never submit to someone like Jiang Qi. If she wanted to marry, she would marry a man standing at the top of the pyramid.

Xiang City was too small. The men here were not worthy of her.

The young masters of real wealthy families gathered in places like Beijing where every inch of land was worth money.

After she graduated from university, she would go to Beijing and meet her true love!

On the other hand, Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao followed the manager to a private room.

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little nervous. Her hands gripped Si Fan’s sleeves tightly.

Si Fan had never seen a girl as nervous and scared as Gu Xiaoxiao. She could not help but twitch her lips.

“What are you afraid of? Don’t you have me?”

Gu Xiaoxiao said uneasily, “B-Big Sister Fan, I’m afraid that the other party is a big boss in the underworld who has taken a fancy to your beauty. Hence, he got someone to bring you to a concealed private room. Then, you’ll be suppressed by him and you’ll be…”

She had read many romance novels. The plot developments in them were similar.

Si Fan’s expression did not change. She said lazily, “It’s still uncertain who will be the one being suppressed.”

Gu Xiaoxiao was shocked. “Huh?”

The manager couldn’t stand it anymore and explained kindly, “Miss, my boss is a serious businessman. He’s definitely not the big boss of the underworld you’re talking about. He definitely won’t do anything illegal!”

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded skeptically, keeping her speculation to herself.

Si Fan didn’t have much patience. She walked over to the private room and pushed open the carved sandalwood door.

The door opened instantly.

A faint fragrance of tea mixed with the fragrance of sandalwood wafted over. It had the effect of focusing one’s mind and nourishing one’s Qi.

It smelled good.

The owner of this private room knew how to enjoy himself.

She reached out and lifted the purple curtain in front of her. At first glance, there was a table full of sumptuous dishes. There were more than 20 of them, and there were all different dishes.

However, when she looked around, other than a table of sumptuous dishes and some antique decorations, there was nothing alive here.

In other words, the owner of the private room was not here.

Si Fan’s gaze landed on the dining table again. She keenly caught a piece of white paper under a rice bowl.

She walked over and pulled out the white paper. A line of words entered her eyes.

The words were vigorous and powerful.

They were quite domineering.

They were also concise.

Have a good meal, little girl. See you again if fate allows.

Si Fan’s peach blossom eyes narrowed at first, then she smiled playfully and gently crumpled the paper into a ball.

Interesting!

The manager also walked in and looked around. He said inexplicably, “Strange, where’s my boss? He was clearly in this private room just now.”

Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind the manager. She blinked her eyes and guessed softly, “Maybe… he slipped away?”

“…” Manager.

Si Fan did not speak. She sat down on a chair and beckoned Gu Xiaoxiao with her finger. “Xiaoxiao, come and have dinner with me!”

Gu Xiaoxiao blushed. It sounded like she was Big Sister Fan’s favorite concubine.

It felt quite embarrassing.

Gu Xiaoxiao blushed and immediately walked over to sit beside Si Fan.

The manager did not see his boss, so he did not want to disturb the two girls from eating. He silently took his leave.

Seeing that the manager had left, Gu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment before asking curiously, “Big Sister Fan, do you really know the owner of this restaurant?”

Si Fan picked up a piece of peeled lobster and slowly took a bite. After chewing a few times, she said, “I don’t know him.”

Gu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. “Huh? N-no. You don’t know him. So, why did he treat us to a meal?”

Si Fan’s eyes darkened. “God knows.”

Gu Xiaoxiao stroked her chin and made a guess. “Big Sister Fan, you might not know him, but he might know you. Besides, he must have taken a fancy to you.”

Si Fan smiled faintly and raised her eyebrows. “What if it’s her and not him?”

Gu Xiaoxiao: “Erm…” That… I don’t know.

In another private room.

Jiang Wang stared at a certain man who was eating elegantly and calmly. He asked soulfully, “Yan, are you sick?!”

Otherwise, why would he help a girl he had never met before?!

He was not such a busybody.

He would not specially invite that girl to dinner either!

Although that female university student looked quite beautiful and valiant, Jun Yan wasn’t the kind of man who would fall for a girl!

Could it be that he had misjudged him?

Jun Yan put down his chopsticks, picked up a glass of red wine, and took a sip. He crossed his legs lazily.

He glanced at Jiang Wang indifferently and said indifferently, “Eat your food.”

Jiang Wang could tell that he was in a good mood.

Jiang Wang pouted and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and could not help but say, “Wait, I heard that the girl’s name is Si Fan. At first glance, she sounds familiar. I think the fiancée of my nephew in Xiang City is called Si Fan. Coincidentally, they have the same name, but I don’t know if it’s the same person.”

Jun Yan narrowed his dark eyes.

There was an inexplicable change in the indifferent aura on his body. There was a ghastly silence.

For some reason, Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, “Ahem, ahem. But I don’t think it’s the same person because I heard my nephew talk about his fiancée. She’s ugly and boring. Not only is she ugly, but she also always wears a pair of black-framed glasses. He feels like vomiting just looking at her.”

“But that girl earlier makes men’s hearts throb. How could she be the ugly fiancée my nephew mentioned?”

Jun Yan glanced at Jiang Wang coldly and said in a low voice, “Are you tempted?”

Jiang Wang’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “…No.”

Jun Yan said, “Stop dreaming. You’re not good enough for her.”

“…” Jiang Wang. F*ck!

He even said that he didn’t like her. He clearly treated her as his property!

And he didn’t allow other men to covet her.

Bastard!

After the meal.

Si Fan and Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room after having their fill.

Gu Xiaoxiao recalled that they had just had a free meal and asked uneasily, “Big Sister Fan, do we need to pay the bill? After all… the man who’s treating us isn’t around.”

She wondered if it was really a treat.

What if that boss went back on his word and refused to treat them?!

Si Fan narrowed her eyes.

After a second of silence, she walked downstairs again. “Let’s go down and ask.”

Gu Xiaoxiao scratched her head and followed him.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw a conflict at the cashier.

“Didn’t you say that there’s a 50% discount? All the other customers have 50% off. Why do we have to pay the original price?!”

“That’s right, it’s unfair. You have to give us a 50% discount!”

The people who were causing a scene at the cashier were Huang Mei and Si Xue.
