Chapter 680: Used it, not very effective

Soon, the emotions in Shen Ci's heart gradually shifted and surfaced on her face, as well as in her eyes.

Disdain, contempt, and the corners of her mouth even carried a trace of mockery.

Li Xiao saw it clearly, and his heart couldn't help but twitch violently.

He never expected that when he saw Shen Ci again, the reaction she gave him would be exactly the same as before!

But what he didn't know was that Shen Ci had already seen this posturing appearance of his in her previous life.

In her previous life, Li Xiao became famous for the academic papers he plagiarized from Shen Ci, and he threw Shen Ci away without leaving a word of explanation.

And three years later, on the day Shen Ci entered the research institution as Li Xiao's direct subordinate by virtue of her talent and hard work, the Li Xiao standing in front of her was also this kind of human-like dog.

No, Shen Ci remembered that scene vividly, even more ridiculous than today.

That day, he looked proud and high-spirited on the surface, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was also condescending, but only Shen Ci knew that Li Xiao's inside was a mess, and all the fame he got was due to that paper, that paper written by her own hand.

How could Li Xiao not know?

So ever since Shen Ci entered the institution, he was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow every day, and finally used dirty means again to kick Shen Ci out of the institution.

People who are guilty have persecution delusions, so he naturally wouldn't leave a time bomb by his side.

And this time, the time, scene, and opportunity for the two to meet again have undergone earth-shaking changes. Most importantly, Shen Ci's state of mind is completely different from her previous life.

So, she looked at Li Xiao and said calmly: "You've become ugly!"

Li Xiao's eyebrows twisted, as if he thought he had heard it wrong, but before he could speak, a slender jade hand naturally wrapped around his arm.

"Li Xiao, is she your friend?"

A beautiful girl appeared beside Li Xiao. Although the words were said to Li Xiao, her eyes were on Shen Ci.

And seeing Shen Ci appearing in such an occasion in inappropriate casual clothes, the girl couldn't hide her disgust, but when her eyes shifted to Shen Ci's face, she instantly became vigilant.

Li Xiao smiled at the girl and explained generously: "Old classmate."

He didn't say ex-girlfriend, or even friend, but used old classmate to define Shen Ci, as if he deliberately wanted to tell Shen Ci that he didn't care anymore.

Shen Ci couldn't help but sneer when she heard it. Looking up, Su Zheyuan also walked over.

"Do you know him?"

Su Zheyuan looked at Li Xiao with curious eyes and asked.

Shen Ci curled her lips: "I don't know him, but I've used him."

Su Zheyuan looked at Shen Ci with shock, and even Li Xiao and the girl were widening their pupils in unison when they heard her words.

Shen Ci shook her head with disgust: "Not very effective!"

"Shen Ci!" The noble and deep persona Li Xiao built immediately had a crack, and he looked at Shen Ci with hidden anger in his eyes.

It was all old history, but because he was not good once, he was repeatedly pulled out by Shen Ci to whip the corpse!

Su Zheyuan immediately cast a sympathetic look at Li Xiao.

As a man, he knows what it means to be said to be ineffective by a woman.

Shen Ci just shrugged provocatively, too lazy to talk to him, and turned to walk inside.

Seeing this, Su Zheyuan hurriedly followed: "What's the situation? One-night stand?"

Shen Ci looked at him lightly: "Ask about things you should ask."

"Oh, right." Su Zheyuan reacted: "I just asked, the expert said that this level of exhibition generally no one will take the initiative to sell the exhibits, but you can take the initiative to talk about which one you like."

"I take the initiative?"

"If you are interested, just talk about it. Maybe someone is willing to sell it!"

Shen Ci felt a bit troublesome: "Let's take a look first."

On the other side, Li Xiao narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Ci not far away, his eyes obscure and difficult to understand.

He thought that facing the brand-new self, Shen Ci would be moved, but he didn't expect...

"Li Xiao, is what she just said true?" The girl on the side covered her mouth and asked, her tone unable to hide her shock: "You two..."

"Of course not."

Li Xiao patted the girl's hand, his expression gentle and soothing: "She was my college classmate before I went abroad. We haven't seen each other for more than 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, which was a face that men simply couldn't refuse, so she asked puzzled: "Why?"

Li Xiao explained without thinking: "The family background is too disparate. She might really like me, but I always have concerns and feel that her purpose is not pure."

"I see..."

Seeing Li Xiao speak naturally and certainly, the girl believed him.

Moreover, that girl actually came here wearing casual clothes, which was indeed out of place in this upper-class occasion. In this way, she believed Li Xiao's words even more.

"I just said, she came here dressed like that." The girl sneered and said: "The man just now is probably her current boyfriend, who looks quite rich."

Li Xiao followed the trend and said: "So I am even more sure of my opinion of her. She is looking for a rich boyfriend. Fortunately, I was sober at the beginning. Just now, she has been holding a grudge against me for rejecting her, so she said such things. Don't take it seriously."

"I won't. You are so young, how could you be ineffective?" The girl said, blushing shyly: "I didn't believe a word of it."

Li Xiao smiled and took the opportunity to hold the girl's small hand: "Take me to say hello to Uncle Qiu first!"

On the other side, Shen Ci had locked onto a pair of white jade bracelets.

"I want this!"

She liked it at first sight, and could even imagine her mother and aunt wearing these bracelets. And the only philosophy she has always believed in buying things is that you shouldn't buy what you hesitate about, and you must buy what you like at first sight.

"White jade?" Su Zheyuan looked at Shen Ci: "Imperial green is so good."

"This color looks warm, elegant, and suitable for my mother."

Seeing that she was picking for Mother Shen, Su Zheyuan didn't say much: "Then you go sit there for a while, and I'll go ask for you."

Shen Ci looked in the direction he pointed and found that there was a sofa area inside the exhibition, where many people were chatting in twos and threes, but there was no one she was familiar with.

Couldn't help but sigh that there are really many rich people in Longcheng.

Walking over and finding a place to sit down, but didn't want to have a man in a suit bring a service staff to sit down next to her in the next second.

And the service staff was holding an ebony tray in his hand, with a piece of red silk on the tray, and then an exquisite wooden box was placed on it.

And the wooden box had no lid, and a sky-blue oval jade was lying quietly inside.

This size is called a "pigeon egg" in the industry! ===== CHAPTER 681 =====
