Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Hidden Beauty in a Gilded Chamber
Bian Yue coughed sincerely, "Do you think there’s a possibility that I can’t afford to sign him?"
"Why wouldn’t you be able to afford signing?" Wen Jiao asked, baffled, taking it for granted, "That face doesn’t look like it’s worth much money!"
"Who are you calling worthless, big sister!" Shen Zhaoli just felt the woman before him was a visionless madwoman, grinding his teeth and saying, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look! My face is worth a fortune! A top-tier destiny!"
Just as Wen Jiao was about to retort, Bian Yue carefully chose her words and quickly spoke up, "Wen Jiao, don’t argue with him, he’s not a signed artist. He is an adopted son of the Shen Family."
"The adopted son of the Shen Family? The Shen Family... wait..." Wen Jiao’s anger receded as she stared wide-eyed at Shen Zhaoli, "He is... the Shen Family’s..."
Shen Zhaoli sneered, raising an eyebrow, clearly implying: You’ve kicked on iron now.
And in the midst of Wen Jiao’s incredulous stare, Bian Yue solemnly nodded.
"That’s correct."
Wen Jiao’s complexion visibly withered at a visible rate.
The three sat down in the hall, and the butler timely served up a fragrant tea, "Today is a major cleaning day at home, all hands are busy, I apologize for not being able to serve Miss Wen and young master Zhaoli promptly."
"That’s alright; I came here to see Bian Yue, no need for such formalities." Wen Jiao picked up the tea, took a sip, but still felt reluctant, glaring at Shen Zhaoli, "Some people are really rude, grabbing my umbrella in front of everyone, causing my clothes to get wet!"
"Miss Wen, you clearly had a spare umbrella in your hand, what’s wrong with lending it to me?" Shen Zhaoli patted his leg, "I just came from the hospital, still half a patient. Shouldn’t you also demonstrate some virtue, respect the elderly and love the young?"
"You? Deserve respect? You’re just a pretty face!"
Bian Yue understood the whole story from their few words exchanged.
Bian Yue sighed helplessly, finding it somewhat funny, and looked at Shen Zhaoli, saying, "Shen Jinci will be back later; why don’t you go to the study to wait for him?"
"I didn’t come here out of my own volition." Shen Zhaoli sneered, disdainfully saying, "If it weren’t for Shen Jinci requesting for me multiple times, I wouldn’t have come. I’ll just wait for him in the hall."
Listening to Shen Zhaoli’s words, wasn’t it that he wanted to see Shen Jinci, but rather Shen Jinci was looking for him?
Bian Yue thoughtfully nodded, then turned to Wen Jiao, "Jiaojiao, have you come to see me for something urgent?"
For Miss Wen to venture out in the rain, it must certainly be something significant.
Wen Jiao straightened up seriously, coughed lightly, and said formally, "The class reunion has been rescheduled to today! I... I want you to accompany me!"
Bian Yue thought, shall I not go? I’m not very acquainted with those female classmates from high school. Moreover, they’ve all heard about my past romance with Li Sihe.
At 16, Bian Yue genuinely saw Li Sihe as the only light of her life.
But now, concerning anything related to Li Sihe, Bian Yue only avoids.
"Pan Ni and Bai Wending are also going, they both received your wedding invitations, didn’t they? This time, they want to personally thank you. Since the goal is to expand the social circle, today is a good opportunity."
"I know."
Honey just cooperated with Red Mountain Capital and signed two artists, also launching a new 4S+ project.
Now indeed is a critical moment; getting to know more people from the upper-class circles, looking towards the future, it can’t be bad.
Wen Jiao linked arms with Bian Yue, saying, "Yueyue, come with me, I want your company."
Bian Yue’s expression showed hesitation.
She was still worried that Wen Jiao insisted on bringing Shen Jinci along, so she emphasized, "I... I can go with you, but Shen Jinci can’t go."
"Okay, if you don’t want to bring him, then don’t! I just thought it would give you a lot of face!"
Wen Jiao chuckled and blinked, "Why are you so worried about bringing Shen Jinci to the reunion? Do you think it feels better to hide a beauty in the golden house?"
Bian Yue rolled her eyes and sighed, "What golden house to hide beauty? How big of a golden house do I need to build to fit Shen Jinci’s wealth?"
"I don’t know about others, but if you want to squeeze him in, Shen Jinci probably wouldn’t mind sleeping on the road, right? Just sleep under the sky!"
Bian Yue felt that Wen Jiao’s mouth was really formidable.
Sometimes she still fell short.
Beside them, Shen Zhaoli, who was listening with great interest, saw that the two stopped talking and suggested, "Why not bring me along?"
"Bring you?" Wen Jiao made no attempt to hide her disdain and scanned Shen Zhaoli from head to toe, frowning and clicking her tongue, "I’d rather bring a piece of roasted pork."
"You’re comparing me to roasted pork?" Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao in disbelief, his voice rising, "Aren’t you being too much?"
"Oh, this is too much? When you snatched my umbrella at the door, were you being a good student? Should I give you a morality award?"
Kids bickering, it’s giving Yueyue a headache.
Bian Yue patted Wen Jiao’s shoulder, "How about this, you chat with Shen Zhaoli first. I feel a bit sleepy; I’m going to take another nap. Call me for lunch."
"No!" Wen Jiao quickly grabbed Bian Yue, "Stay!"
"Bian Yue, say a word and stay," Shen Zhaoli lazily said, "I want to go to the reunion with you guys. Just give a straight answer, okay?"
Bian Yue really wasn’t opposed to it; she was just curious, "Why would you want to attend my class reunion?"
"I see that this friend of yours..." Shen Zhaoli looked Wen Jiao up and down and lightly clicked his tongue, "is quite unreliable. I better go along with you."
Wen Jiao snorted coldly but then quickly changed the topic, "Okay, let’s go together! Today, there happen to be many handsome men; I really want to see if you’ll feel so embarrassed that you’ll cover your face and run!"
Bian Yue’s headache intensified.
Luckily, Shen Jinci came back.
The man wore a long black suit, his expression cold and aloof.
He usually didn’t carry a cheerful demeanor in front of others, but was visibly indifferent.
Until he saw Bian Yue sitting in the hall; his pace halted, then he softened his cold demeanor and walked towards Bian Yue.
Wen Jiao and Shen Zhaoli were automatically ignored by Shen Jinci as he walked straight towards Bian Yue and asked her how she woke up so early today. Did she not sleep well?
Bian Yue actually had a good sleep.
However, upon seeing Shen Jinci, her mind began replaying the events of the previous night.
He kissed her, that ultimate kiss.
Bian Yue’s gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Jinci’s lips.
He was definitely a restrained person, with pale lip color and beautiful lips, which should seem untouchable. Yet, Bian Yue thought of the words ’suitable for kissing’.
She was so entranced that Wen Jiao coughed again and earnestly said, "Bian Yue, you... reel it back in a bit, we are still here."
