Chapter 281: Chapter 281: I Want to Get to Know You

Su Cheng gratefully glanced at Jiang Lingxi; if it weren’t for that pull just now, he would have already been knocked aside by the car door that suddenly opened.

Then he curiously looked into the car.

This car was even bigger than the one Shen Huchen rode today. He remembered clearly that the driver on that car called Shen Huchen "young master," indicating that Shen Huchen was surely from a wealthy family.

Judging by the size of the car, the owner of this vehicle may be even more powerful than Shen Huchen.

To put it simply: he couldn’t afford to offend them!

"Xiao Qiu, where are my sunglasses?"

"Here, I brought three pairs. Brother Huai, pick one."

Just as Jiang Lingxi released Su Cheng’s arm and was about to walk around the front of the car, the person who had been picking sunglasses inside the car finally bent down and stepped out.

A white casual suit adorned his tall, slender frame, and even the soles of his shoes were spotless. His short black hair was meticulously styled, and simple black sunglasses rested on his high nose bridge.

For a moment, Jiang Lingxi felt that the sunlight high in the sky wasn’t so blinding; this person was so dazzling from head to toe that the reflected light made her squint.

"Hiss..."

Su Cheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, finally understanding why this person had to park the car right at the entrance.

If he had walked over like them, his shoe soles would have gotten dirty.

Truly, a person of refinement!

"Teacher Jiang."

As Jing Huai just got out of the car, he immediately saw Jiang Lingxi standing among the group.

After a brief pause, he curled his lips into a greeting.

He didn’t expect Xu Qingmei to be right; he had rejected him before because he was going to participate himself.

Talking about fair competition seemed laughable now.

Jiang Lingxi, who was about to leave, had to stop and, remembering Tong Yue’s repetitive instructions and her own promises, nodded in Jing Huai’s direction, sparing her words: "Teacher Jing."

"It seems we’re heading to the same place. Shall we go up together?"

This time, Jiang Lingxi just gave a slight "hmm" and walked ahead.

Watching the two figures walking in front, the Su siblings following behind were visibly stunned.

Su Cheng whispered in his sister’s ear, "Seems like those two know each other."

Su Yi nodded, "Though they don’t seem familiar."

"I noticed too."

Even outsiders can tell, so how could the parties involved not notice?

Jing Huai maintained a gentle appearance but was slightly disappointed inside.

He was a bit surprised when he saw Jiang Lingxi earlier but didn’t see even a hint of surprise on Jiang Lingxi’s face.

He even sensed a noticeable distance that was quite unmasked.

It had been a while since they’d met, and it seemed she really had changed a lot, just like what was said online.

It wasn’t until they were in the front hall registering for their passes that Jing Huai realized that besides him and Jiang Lingxi, there was another amateur guest for "Inheritance" among them.

He had assumed the people following Jiang Lingxi were all assistants.

That particular amateur guest named Su Yi was really quite unassuming, with less presence than Jiang Lingxi’s actual assistants.

Seeing the pass in Jiang Lingxi’s hand, which was identical to the one his sister had, Su Cheng finally snapped out of his shock and looked over with wide eyes, "You’re also a guest on ’Inheritance’?"

Jiang Lingxi put on the pass and turned to look at him.

Though she didn’t speak, anyone with a bit of sense could understand the meaning of her look: Is there any need to ask?

Su Cheng: "..."

He recalled boasting about his sister earlier on the way here, and the other party seriously praised her for being impressive.

He couldn’t help but raise his hand to cover his face.

And grasped the first truth after traveling far: Truly impressive people never show off.

Never again would he randomly grab someone to brag to!

Su Yi did not share in her brother’s current embarrassment, her eyes were bright as she looked at Jiang Lingxi.

The other party didn’t seem older than her, but from their first meeting, she felt a convincing strength emanating from her.

Originally, she thought they would part ways after arriving here, but unexpectedly, things took a turn, and they were guests on the same show.

She initially thought there was no need to know her, but at this moment, she gathered courage, "Hi, I’m Su Yi."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the hand extended to her—dark, slender, with calluses on the fingers and palms that testified to a hand accustomed to labor, not luxury.

Just as Su Yi’s courage waned and she was about to withdraw her hand, Jiang Lingxi clasped it, "Hello, I’m Jiang Lingxi."

The warmth of her palm was even greater than the air temperature, and Su Yi’s heart, which was in her throat, settled back heavily as she returned a relieved smile.

Watching this unfold, Su Cheng: "..."

He was inexplicably a bit relieved.

Only heaven knows how reclusive his sister’s personality usually was. Back in the small town, she wouldn’t leave unless necessary, and if there was no work, she’d draw, not even indulging her brother in unnecessary conversation.

Now she actually took the initiative to make friends.

That’s something to celebrate!

Jing Huai coldly watched as those two different-colored hands clasped together, and when Su Yi looked his way, he nonchalantly turned and led the way, "Let me show you the way; I’ve been here once before, the elevator is this way."

Su Yi: "..."

She hadn’t planned on shaking hands with this person anyway.

She was well aware that she and these two people in front of her were from different worlds. But the difference was, in Teacher Jiang Lingxi’s eyes, there was no gap between these two worlds, whereas, with Teacher Jing, the gap was all too evident.

And she was always sensible.

After getting out of the elevator, Su Cheng had also met Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling’an.

On this trip, Su Cheng assigned himself the role of his sister’s assistant. Knowing that Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling’an were also assistants, he felt that as fellow assistants, they must have a common language.

Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling’an, who were unilaterally assured: "..."

Don’t really feel that way!

After getting to know each other, they discovered that the Su siblings had completely opposite personalities—how quiet and reserved the sister was, that’s how exuberant the brother was.

Anyone would have thought they’d known each other for years!

"Conference Room 301, here we are."

Jing Huai stood in front of the door and knocked.

Hearing a call of ’come in’ from inside, he reached out to open the door, then looked at Jiang Lingxi with a smile, "Ladies first."

When Lu Zhengzheng followed Jiang Lingxi into the conference room, she couldn’t help but glance back at him.

Once seated in the corner of the conference room, she began to whisper to Xu Ling’an, who sat next to her, "When I used to watch those costume dramas Jing Huai played in, I felt he had the demeanor of an ancient aristocratic gentleman, but now the more I look, the more something feels off."

Even though he has been acting genteel since appearing at the main entrance, she just felt more and more awkward.

After listening to her ponder, Xu Ling’an blinked and thought for a moment before softly replying, "How does he compare to brother-in-law’s portrayal of Prime Minister Shen?"

Lu Zhengzheng suddenly had an epiphany, "I’ve got it!"
