Chapter 114: 114 Keep the profits in the family

"Shu Rui."

After Li Shu Rui finished her shower and was blowing her hair in front of the cabinet mirror, Xu Siyi approached her.

"What’s up?"

Li Shu Rui tousled her wet hair as the hairdryer kept running.

"You’re with Jiang Chen now, aren’t you?"

Xu Siyi asked.

Li Shu Rui didn’t directly answer the question, sensing that the other’s true intentions lay elsewhere.

"If there’s something you want, just say it."

Pressing her lips together, Xu Siyi stopped beating around the bush and batted her eyelashes, "Since you’ve fallen for Jiang Chen, could you introduce me to ’Han Jiang Gu Ying’?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shu Rui paused, then let go of the hairdryer, turned around, and looked at her roommate of three years.

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran weren’t there; they had gone to visit other dorm rooms.

"Shu Rui, the water that’s been fattened should not flow into other people’s fields. Since you’re not interested in ’Han Jiang Gu Ying,’ why not let me have him?"

Xu Siyi was more straightforward.

Li Shu Rui fell silent for a moment, then said, "You and he are not suitable for each other."

Xu Siyi frowned, "Have you met him?"

"No."

"Then how do you know we’re not suitable?"

Xu Siyi pleaded, "Shu Rui, I know the chances are slim, but what if? What if I really end up together with ’Han Jiang Gu Ying’? It would benefit you too. Think about it, if he knew you’ve found someone you like, he definitely wouldn’t waste his energy on you anymore. If I can attract his attention, he can still be your top giver."

Xu Siyi appealed to emotion and logic, though it was clear she was irresistibly attracted to his assets and status, yet she made it sound as if she was doing Li Shu Rui a favor.

"You don’t need to do anything, just introduce us and help me get a chance to talk to him. I’ll handle the rest. Is that okay?"

While saying this, Xu Siyi took Li Shu Rui’s hand, her eyes filled with hope that was hard to refuse.

"Si Yi, he’s not like the other guys you’ve met before, you don’t need to waste your energy."

"How is he different? Aren’t they all just men? Or is it that you can’t bear to let him go?"

Li Shu Rui’s continuous evasion led Xu Siyi’s tone to lose its gentleness, and her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"You’ve already fallen for Jiang Chen, haven’t you? Why are you still monopolizing ’Han Jiang Gu Ying’? I told you, I’m not trying to steal him away. If I’m with him, he can still send you gifts."

Li Shu Rui slightly furrowed her brows, detecting the sarcasm laced in the other’s words.

Living together for so long, although she tried to maintain good relations with her roommates, she couldn’t change the envious nature of people.

She was aware that Xu Siyi had always been somewhat jealous of her, but she didn’t expect such harsh words to be spoken.

"Sorry, Shu Rui, I got too carried away. Don’t take it to heart, pretend I never said anything."

Xu Siyi also realized her slip of the tongue. They still had to live together, and of course, she didn’t want to burn bridges with Li Shu Rui, so she quickly calmed down and softened her voice.

"It’s okay."

Li Shu Rui picked up the hairdryer and resumed blowing her hair.

Xu Siyi didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

On the surface, it seemed the matter was dropped, but inevitably, a rift had formed between the two.

"Si Yi, it’s so late, are you going out?"

In the hallway, when Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran came out from another dorm room, they ran into Xu Siyi, who was dressed and had even put on makeup.

It was clear she was going out.

"Yeah, someone asked me out for drinks. Do you guys want to come?"

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran exchanged glances, then shook their heads.

"Forget it, you go ahead."

"Are you coming back tonight?"

"She’s not coming back."

Dressed in a tight mini skirt, her figure curvy and well-defined, Xu Siyi smiled and passed by.

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran turned their heads, watching her disappear at the end of the corridor before continuing on their way to the dormitory.

They were already used to this.

Inside the bar.

The lights were mesmerizing.

Heavy metal music constantly bombarded the eardrums.

"Liang Shao, isn’t it funny? Shu Rui actually said she likes Jiang Chen, giggled..."

Xu Siyi had already drunk quite a bit, her face flushed, sitting cross-legged, holding a wine glass. The hem of her skirt had nearly been pulled to the root of her thigh without her noticing; fortunately, she was wearing safety shorts, thus preventing any wardrobe malfunction.

Liang Zhenlun was also in this crowd.

"Shu Rui, she has an eye for talent, doesn’t she?"

It was typical male behavior, and it was certainly true.

At that moment, Liang Zhenlun’s gaze involuntarily swept over Xu Siyi’s fair and plump thighs.

Although she paled in comparison to Li Shuru, Xu Siyi could definitely be considered a genuine beauty, with an enticing charm about her.

If it had been before, Liang Zhenlun would not lack interest in her, but now, he was content just to look; even if he was somewhat drunk, he did not entertain many unworthy thoughts.

Messing around with other women was one thing, but this girl was Li Shuru’s roommate. He couldn’t act rashly.

"An eye for talent? I think it’s more like being blinded by lard. I really don’t know what kind of love potion Jiang Chen has given her."

Xu Siyi scoffed.

"He probably didn’t give her any love potion, but rather a life-saving sum of several million. Say, if you were in a desperate situation and someone came out of nowhere and pulled you out of despair, wouldn’t you be moved?"

Liang Zhenlun drank.

"Several million in life-saving money?"

Xu Siyi’s sleepy, drunk eyes showed a hint of confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Hasn’t Shu Rui told you?"

Liang Zhenlun also seemed a bit surprised.

"Told us what?"

"Her dad’s in the hospital. You guys know that, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

Under the influence of the environment and alcohol, Liang Zhenlun’s rationality was not very clear, and without much thought, he continued, "Her dad’s illness, it can’t be solved by a regular surgery; he needs a heart transplant to survive. Besides the cost of surgery, it requires three million. Shu Rui couldn’t come up with that much money; it was Senior Jiang who provided it."

"Jiang Chen?"

Xu Siyi’s pupils shrank, then she began to giggle foolishly, "Liang Shao, you’re joking with me, right? Who doesn’t know that Jiang Chen is a poor sod? Three million? Even if he were killed, he probably couldn’t scrape up that much money."

"Why would I lie to you? I handled that money myself. You all have misunderstood Senior Jiang; he’s just someone with high ideals, different from us materialistic people. He prefers to keep a low profile."

They say the truth comes out when you’re drunk.

Liang Zhenlun was quite drunk by now; he probably wasn’t lying.

Moreover, he and Jiang Chen were widely known as arch-enemies; why would he possibly add luster to his foe’s image?

Xu Siyi’s expression gradually changed, she stiffly said, "Are you really telling the truth?"

"More real than gold."

Liang Zhenlun nodded without hesitation, affirming confidently.

"Liang Shao, cheers."

Someone came over to toast with Liang Zhenlun.

Liang Zhenlun turned to deal with them, leaving Xu Siyi sitting there, her mind somewhat muddled.
