Chapter 700: He Is the One Who Should Die

~7 min read 1,298 words

Yuanyuan and the others who didn't know the truth all crowded up. Seeing it was Shen Ci, Yuanyuan asked subconsciously: "Shen Ci, wha, what happened?"

"Sorry, I disturbed everyone." Shen Ci looked at Yuanyuan and said decisively: "Yuanyuan, count today's party as mine."

"Boss He..."

Boss He waved his hand immediately upon hearing this: "Ms. Shen, you're being too polite. There should still be half of the final payment left; I'll just waive it for your friend directly."

"Thank you."

Everyone present, those who knew Shen Ci and those who didn't, were all confused.

"Shen Ci, no need, I didn't, didn't get angry!" Yuanyuan hurriedly waved her hand to explain.

Shen Ci smiled indifferently, only saying: "Everyone continue, I'll go first."

After saying this, Shen Ci bypassed the crowd and left without looking back.

Lianxing saw this and couldn't care about anything else, following her.

"A-Ci!"

Lianxing caught up with Shen Ci and asked worriedly: "What exactly happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm really okay. It's obvious that the two of them are the ones with the problem." Shen Ci smiled helplessly and shook her head: "I was really intentionally avoiding any conflict with them, but I still couldn't control other people's words and actions. You help me apologize to Yuanyuan later."

"Right, and your brother, thank him for me for being willing to be my tool man and cooperate."

"Oh my, I'm in no mood to go back now." Lianxing muttered: "I'll go back with you."

"Absolutely not. Today is Yuanyuan's birthday, and you are her good friend. You should celebrate for her. Don't leave because of me, I'm really okay."

Lianxing calmed down and also felt that Shen Ci's words made sense.

"Then I'll come find you when it ends later."

Shen Ci nodded with a smile: "Okay, hurry back."

The elevator arrived just in time. After Shen Ci entered the elevator, she waved at Lianxing. Not until the elevator door closed did she take a deep breath.

Actually, she didn't feel very happy in her heart because she won today. Li Xiao naturally deserved it, but she couldn't produce any malice toward his new girlfriend.

This Ms. Qiu was indeed not smart enough, and combined with Li Xiao's little tricks, it wasn't surprising that Ms. Qiu believed his words.

All the aggressive words she said to this Ms. Qiu to her face were just simple counterattacks. In reality, she didn't really look down on her from the bottom of her heart.

Because Shen Ci felt that she didn't seem to have the qualifications to laugh at Qiu Keying either. After all, she herself had fallen heavily under Li Xiao's disguise in her previous life.

How much better could she be than Qiu Keying?

Only Li Xiao was the true root of the disaster; he was the one who should die!

Qiu Keying ran out of "Yunshang Tiangong" in shame and anger, not looking back even when Li Xiao chased and called out from behind, until Li Xiao caught up and grabbed her, forcing her to stop.

"Let go of me!"

She tried to shake off Li Xiao's hand with force, but Li Xiao didn't let go, instead forcefully pulling Qiu Keying into his arms: "Keying, calm down."

"I calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?" Qiu Keying held back her tears and finally couldn't help but cry out: "I became like this because of you, but what about you? What about you!"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I just didn't want things to get worse at the time. You heard it too, Shen Ci acquired this place. If we keep making a scene, the only ones who will be embarrassed will be us. I didn't want you to lose face because of my wrong judgment, and it might even involve Uncle Qiu."

"Didn't you say she was a vain person who only knew how to climb up to the powerful? Why could she acquire this place? Don't tell me it was money spent by a man. Do you know how much money it takes to acquire this place? Even my dad couldn't take out so much capital at once!"

Li Xiao let go of Qiu Keying and looked at her earnestly: "Keying, I really don't know why it's like this. I'm confused myself. In the year or so I left Longcheng, I had almost no contact with friends in the country. Maybe a lot of things I didn't know happened during this period. But believe me, I really didn't lie to you, and I have no need to lie to you!"

"Everything today was my fault. I only ran into her on the way to the restroom; nothing really happened. The reason I swore and promised her just now that I would walk around her in the future and not take the initiative to talk to her was actually said for you to hear. Because you are my girlfriend, of course I have to avoid other girls."

"I just wanted to end the misunderstanding you had about me just now in that way, not because I was humble to her. But you might have been too angry just now, so you didn't grasp my meaning at the first moment."

After finishing, Li Xiao pulled her into a tight embrace again: "Keying, do you know how much I like you? I have to go abroad later, and long-distance relationships are very difficult, so I was really restraining myself at first. But I discovered that I simply couldn't control the impulse to be with you, which is why I gathered the courage to confess to you."

"In the future, we will be in two different countries, and there will be even more difficulties to overcome if we want to be together. I don't want us to hurt our relationship because of an irrelevant person. You also like me and want to be with me forever, right?"

At this moment, Qiu Keying had been completely brainwashed by Li Xiao's silver tongue. Listening to his words, the knot in her heart had long since dissipated, and her mind was filled only with emotion.

She nodded forcefully: "Of course, of course I like you and want to be with you forever."

"Then let's not quarrel, okay? Don't be angry anymore. I really didn't do well today, I will try hard to improve in the future!"

"Mm." Qiu Keying wiped her tears and looked up at the imposing exterior of "Yunshang Tiangong": "Acquire if they want to acquire, we just won't come in the future. It wasn't as good as 'Shuiyun Jian' anyway. From now on, we only go to 'Shuiyun Jian'!"

Seeing that she had been coaxed, Li Xiao smiled and wiped her tears. Her face was wet, and the cold wind made her cheeks ache.

"Oh, my face hurts, my skin must be damaged." Qiu Keying shivered as she spoke. Only then did the chill clearly enter her body, making her shiver.

Li Xiao hurriedly took off his coat and draped it over her: "Get in the car first, I'll accompany you to get a SPA and maintain your skin."

After all, it was too early to send her back at this time. If Uncle Qiu knew, he would definitely be suspicious.

He didn't want to leave any bad impression in Uncle Qiu's heart. After all, the plan he had in mind was long-term, and he couldn't afford a single mistake.

"Don't mention today's matter in the future, let's forget all the unhappiness." After getting in the car, Li Xiao held Qiu Keying's hand and said.

Qiu Keying nodded with teary eyes and responded with a crying voice: "Okay, let's not mention it anymore, no one is allowed to say it again." ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
