Chapter 645: Chapter 635: Wu Hua Approaches Gu Qiantong, Casuo Invites

The topic came to an abrupt end.

The massage therapist hired by Aibosi Manor was naturally skilled, and the originally sore feet felt very comfortable after the massage.

But Gu Qiantong felt uncomfortable inside.

She even had a sense of failing in her plans and losing out.

Her intention was to have Vini on her side to support her, but now it felt like she had handed over a powerful ally to her opponent.

When she returned to her guest room, she went to the balcony to calm her mind.

As the eldest daughter of the Aibosi family, Vini’s residence was the building closest to the main building where the Family Head lived, and the view from the balcony was first-class.

But now, she wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

The search popularity for ’Jiang Lingxi’ displayed on her phone screen skyrocketed as if injected with adrenaline, making her almost want to instruct her assistant to buy some data for herself.

It was truly infuriating!

"Just because she had the luck to say a few words with Vini and Vini’s flirtatious brother, does she deserve so much attention?"

"Why doesn’t she deserve it?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind, freezing Gu Qiantong’s whispered complaints. She instinctively turned her head to look.

When she saw the figure quietly sitting in the rocking chair, she was so scared that she retreated several steps, her back hitting the carefully crafted railing, "Who are you, and how did you get in?"

"No need to worry about how I got in. Do you dislike Jiang Lingxi greatly?"

Gu Qiantong tightened her lips and didn’t speak, but the hand behind her back was quietly signaling for help.

This person appeared suddenly, their entire body wrapped in black gauze, revealing only a pair of eyes, making them as bizarre as they were strange, unnaturally causing her to be wary.

Wu Hua saw Gu Qiantong’s small movements but pretended not to notice and said, "I also know you dislike Jiang Lingxi because in Shen Yunqing’s eyes, there’s only her."

Gu Qiantong was momentarily shaken, forgetting even to send the distress message.

"You, how do you know?"

"I can help you."

"Help me with what?"

"I don’t want to see Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing always together either. I’ll help you separate them."

Both of them carried the karmic destiny of having saved countless people in their past lives. Although Shen Yunqing used the Forbidden Technique, reducing his karmic soul significantly, it was still terrifyingly abundant.

Moreover, she was still injured, and separating these two would be easier to deal with. Together, she had to admit her confidence wavered.

But it’s fine; she could still manipulate some people’s selfish desires.

The one in front of her was quite suitable.

With a family background and ambition, if successful, that would be ideal. Even if not, it could still disgust Jiang Lingxi without much loss to herself.

Gu Qiantong couldn’t help but feel tempted, but she still remained cautious, "Do you have a grudge against them? How can you help me?"

Jiang Lingxi’s current momentum was so strong that even she couldn’t suppress it!

Even she had to admit now that the only thing she had over Jiang Lingxi was her family background.

"I have my own methods. You just need to listen to me obediently when necessary."

Gu Qiantong instinctively frowned. The other person could see through her thoughts, but she knew nothing about the name or appearance of the person in front of her, yet she had to obey orders. What kind of cooperation was this!

Wu Hua saw right through Gu Qiantong, the corners of her mouth beneath the black gauze curling in disdain, "Jiang Lingxi’s rise blocks many people’s paths in their circle. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else. This opportunity is a one-time offer."

Gu Qiantong originally wanted to say she’d think about it and take the opportunity to investigate what this person’s background was.

But meeting those eyes that seemed to hold an amused stare, she suddenly felt like all her thoughts were exposed to the other person.

"Alright."

"Pleasure working with you."

With those four words, Wu Hua got up under Gu Qiantong’s startled gaze, flipped over the railing without hesitation, and jumped down.

When Gu Qiantong gripped her mouth tightly to suppress her scream and looked down over the railing, there was no sign of the black figure.

It was so intense that Gu Qiantong tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep until dawn, finally managing to fall asleep, but in her dream, there appeared the figure jumping over the railing again.

She was tormented into having two big dark circles under her eyes, shocking Vini, who came to join her for breakfast.

"What did you stay up all night doing?"

"Had a nightmare."

First, she couldn’t sleep no matter what, then she was scared awake once she did fall asleep. Of course it was a nightmare!

*

Jiang Lingxi was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. Opening her eyes, she saw Shen Yunqing holding her hand, seriously appearing as if counting the lines on it.

She made a few grasping motions, waiting for him to turn his gaze over, "I feel fine now."

Shen Yunqing released her hand, lightly responding, "Indeed, it’s not as pale as last night."

Her hand had regained some color, but there was still a difference compared to the other hand.

Jiang Lingxi placed her two hands together to compare. What difference?

"Better wear gloves today to keep warm."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She opted to turn her head and pick up the phone, seeing it was a call from Casuo. She quickly answered.

"Mr. Casuo."

"I hope I’m not disturbing your rest. I heard that Kevin’s welcome ball lasted until almost midnight yesterday."

Jiang Lingxi moved the phone away from her ear to check the time.

Wonderful, it was already 10:30!

"I’m up already."

"That’s good, that’s good. I’m in the studio now. I’ll have my assistant pick you up later, just in time for lunch together, and then try on the outfit for tomorrow’s show. How does this arrangement sound to you, Lingxi?"

"Very thorough."

"Then it’s settled."

Before hanging up, Jiang Ning heard sounds of movement from behind, glanced back, "Mr. Casuo, may I bring an assistant along?"

"Of course."

Shen Yunqing, who also heard the conversation, said, "After visiting Mr. Casuo, let’s go see Wu Jue."

"Okay. By the way, where are they staying now?"

"Not far from here, and also not far from where the Changcang Sect people are."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

So they’re watching her!

The two of them finished getting ready and opened the door to leave, running into several pairs of eyes in the living room outside watching them.

Tong Yue hesitated to speak.

Jiang Lingxi didn’t wait for her to say anything, "Later, Yunqing and I will go to Mr. Casuo’s studio and grab a meal. We also have late plans. Tong Jie, you can take Zhengzheng and the others for some free activities today. Tomorrow will be busy, so today is a good chance to relax a bit."

Tong Yue ultimately swallowed her words of gentle reminder, nodding in understanding, "Are you and Mr. Shen coming back tonight?"

"If we’re not returning, I’ll send you a message."

"Alright, keep in touch."

After just a couple of sips of water, the phone in the room rang, and it was Wang Lu notifying them that someone was there to pick them up.

"Punctual indeed."

Jiang Lingxi finished her water in one gulp, pulled Shen Yunqing along with one hand, and waved to Tong Yue and the others with the other hand, "We’re off."

The door closed.

Xiaoxiao realized belatedly, "Sister Lingxi added gloves to the outfit I paired for her, and it looks quite good."

At the side door of the Chongxiao Building, a slightly conspicuous car was parked.

Seeing two figures emerging from the security gate, a young man waiting by the car quickly approached, "Hello, Miss Jiang, I’m Mr. Casuo’s assistant."

Jiang Lingxi gave him a once-over; the young man felt a bit nervous under her gaze, blinking as he turned to open the car door, "Please, get in the car."

"I’ve seen you before." Jiang Lingxi’s voice came from behind him, "Last night’s welcome ball, you were very chummy with the second son of the Aibosi family."

The young man’s movements stiffened, "Miss Jiang, sharp eyes. Alright, I admit, I took my grandfather’s assistant job temporarily, mainly to make friends with Miss Jiang." He couldn’t help but glance at the man beside Jiang Lingxi, "But, who is this gentleman?"

He heard from his grandfather that Miss Jiang would bring an assistant, but this man, no matter how he looked, did not resemble an assistant at all!

"Assistant and boyfriend, any issues?"

"...No!"

So just multi-tasking...who would’ve guessed you could do it like this? Truly eye-opening!
