Chapter 354: Chapter 352: A Misunderstanding Born of Chance, Something’s Not Right_2

Why are they all looking for him?

Xu Qingmei’s expression twisted for a moment. After glancing at the cameras around her that had all been turned off, she gritted her teeth, grasped the armrest of the chair, and stood up. Painfully, she advanced towards Shen Yunqing.

"I have worked with Mr. Shen for three days anyway. During these three days, I think I have gotten along quite well with everyone. Now that our collaboration is about to end, isn’t it reasonable for Mr. Shen to shake hands with me?"

As she spoke, she extended her hand, refusing to be denied, about to firmly grasp Shen Yunqing’s hand that wasn’t holding the fan.

Shen Yunqing had no intention of accepting it, turning his body to dodge, but a pen suddenly flew through the air faster than him, accurately striking the nerve on Xu Qingmei’s outstretched wrist.

Xu Qingmei’s arm trembled uncontrollably, instinctively flicking to the side.

"Hiss!"

Jing Huai, who was hesitating nearby, got caught in the crossfire. Xu Qingmei’s fingernails scraped his exposed arm, leaving two thin red scratches.

Jing Huai frowned as Xu Qingmei’s expression instantly changed.

When Jing Huai looked at her, she couldn’t help but glare back fiercely.

Fool!

Good for nothing except for spoiling things!

Why are you standing so close?

But it was too late to say anything now.

After glancing at the brush on the ground that had thwarted her plans, Xu Qingmei’s eyes twitched violently, but she held back her temper and stormed off without looking back.

However, to Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing, she seemed a bit flustered from behind.

Their eyes both showed a hint of contemplation.

Jing Huai found a tissue to wipe the blood oozing from his scratched arm, feeling inexplicably bewildered.

He was the one who got hurt, so why was she glaring at him?

Moreover, Xu Qingmei just left like that; what about the plan?

Feeling confused, a cold voice came from the side, "You’re not leaving yet?"

Jing Huai turned his head and met Shen Yunqing’s gaze. Being scrutinized by such eyes made Jing Huai feel like his entire being was exposed, and he quickly averted his gaze in embarrassment, "I-I’m leaving now."

Before leaving, he couldn’t help but give Jiang Lingxi one last unwilling glance, and the pressure from nearby suddenly intensified.

In the end, he almost stumbled as he ran away.

After Xu Qingmei and Jing Huai disappeared from sight, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing finally withdrew their gazes and exchanged a glance.

As Shen Yunqing squatted to pick up the brush on the ground, Jiang Lingxi patted the still somewhat absent-minded Qian Yaya on the head, asking, "When are you and your aunt going back?"

"I plan on checking out the works in the adjacent exhibition hall. Jiang Jie, do you want to join me?"

"No," Jiang Lingxi shook her head, "I have other things to do."

"Then you go ahead, Jiang Jie," Qian Yaya nodded obediently, waving the phone from her pocket with a smile that revealed her teeth, "Let’s stay in touch!"

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but smile lightly, "Alright."

Watching the aunt and niece head to the neighboring exhibition, Jiang Lingxi called Lu Zhengzheng over, "Zhengzheng, you can head back to the hotel first to pack your luggage."

Lu Zhengzheng nodded first, her gaze darting between her sister Lingxi and Mr. Shen, and then she teased quietly with a grin, "Sister Lingxi, are you planning to go on a date with Mr. Shen?" She then added in a justified tone, "I’m just asking so I can report back to Sister Tong if she asks."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at Shen Yunqing approaching with the brush, squinting slightly, "Say whatever you want."

"Got it, hee hee!"

Placing the brush back on the table, Shen Yunqing first watched Lu Zhengzheng run off, then directed his attention to Jiang Lingxi.

Jiang Lingxi looked disdainfully at the other item he placed on the table, "Why did you pick up the tissue Jing left on the ground? It’s bloody!"

Shen Yunqing called over a staff member to request a plastic bag. "Something doesn’t feel right," he said seriously.

Jiang Lingxi’s expression turned grim, considering Xu Qingmei’s reaction when she accidentally scratched Jing Huai’s arm. She also recalled how Xu Qingmei had tried to approach Shen Yunqing multiple times, suspecting some unpleasant scheme.

She allowed Shen Yunqing to store the tissue in the plastic bag.

"Shall we go now?"

Jiang Lingxi turned to look at Su Yi and Li Wanxuan, prompting Shen Yunqing to understand, and they walked over together.

Li Wanxuan was admiring the newly painted sunflower on the fan surface. Upon hearing Su Yi call ’Jiang Jie, Mr. Shen,’ she looked up and smiled at the young couple approaching them, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, we just wanted to say goodbye to you, Mr. Zhang, and Su Yi."

"Go on," Li Wanxuan nodded with a smile, "We’ll surely meet again in the future. Also, don’t pay attention to what’s trending online. Anyone with eyes can see it’s a foolish act by someone with an agenda. You young people shouldn’t be fooled by them."

This time, Shen Yunqing nodded, acknowledging, "Understood, thanks for your concern."

Li Wanxuan waved her hand, "Go on."

Smiling as she watched them leave, she then turned her loving gaze towards the obedient siblings Su Yi and Su Cheng beside her, "After you return to the hotel to check out, why don’t you stay at my place? I happen to have some things related to your teacher there, as well as over at your teacher’s grandmaster’s place..." Li Wanxuan gave a light sigh as she glanced at her teacher talking with Lin Nuo nearby, "After all these years, you should at least acknowledge the relationship as the only disciple of little apprentice brother."

Su Yi first looked back at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng scratched the back of his head under her gaze, "Sis, you decide. I’ll follow your lead."

Su Yi bowed slightly to Li Wanxuan, "Then we’ll impose on Mr. Li."

"Good child!"

When Shen Huchen, pulled by Lu Sen, emerged from the neighboring exhibition hall after viewing others’ submitted works, he suddenly found the area empty.

Where was his cousin?

Where was such a big cousin?

Someone nearby, completely unaware, asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Shen Huchen immediately remembered the culprit, baring his little tiger teeth at Lu Sen, "You were the one who dragged me next door!"

"Yes, what of it? Why are you suddenly so fierce? Weren’t you engrossed with the exhibits there just now?"

"But my cousin is gone!"

"Cousin?" Lu Sen’s pitch rose, "Wait, Mr. Shen is truly your cousin?"

Now that the show had finished recording, Shen Huchen had no intention of hiding it anymore. He nodded earnestly, "Yes."

"Kiddo, you sure kept it well under wraps." Lu Sen was impressed, "But did you notice Jiang Lingxi, Teacher Jiang, is also gone?"

Shen Huchen couldn’t help but exclaim, glancing around. It was true.

Even Lu Zhengzheng, the assistant, was nowhere in sight.

The whereabouts of his cousin immediately became clear.

Compared to the future cousin-in-law, he truly wasn’t up to it!

Chencheng deflated!
