Chapter 469: 416 Really coincidental

Not all unexpected encounters are a cause for joy.

At least at this moment, neither Hong Xiaoyu who is sitting nor the standing girl showed any hint of pleasure on their faces.

"What a coincidence."

With no escape, Hong Xiaoyu stood up, squeezing out a smile.

It was the standard awkward yet polite response.

The girl, of course, was none other than Ren Miao, who had previously declined his invitation yet dined with another man.

It was clear that Ren Miao was not entirely at ease either, but life isn’t a movie—there’s no script, so it often doesn’t give one time to prepare.

"...A friend came to see me, I invited him for dinner..."

Ren Miao instinctively explained, looking towards the direction of the young man reflexively.

Having seen the two enter, Hong Xiaoyu, of course, understood what was going on. Although he had been hesitant before, now that they had run into each other, he at least managed to maintain the demeanor of a man.

"This is my brother, and this is my brother’s friend, Qian Qian."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Hello."

Shi Qianxi looked on with interest.

Ren Miao gave them a somewhat unnatural smile as a greeting.

"Then I won’t disturb you all."

Hong Xiaoyu nodded.

Ren Miao left.

He sat back down.

"Your classmate?"

Shi Qianxi asked.

Hong Xiaoyu explained, "No, my friend."

"Fancy her?"

Miss Shi was as direct as ever.

Hong Xiaoyu’s face turned red instantly. He wanted to speak but couldn’t, his discomfort amusing the sharp-eyed Shi Qianxi.

"If you like her, just admit it. Learn from your brother; after all, he is..."

Jiang Chen hurriedly interrupted.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Shi Qianxi shot him a glance but didn’t continue, sparing him the face as an elder brother.

"Have you confessed?"

Shi Qianxi looked at Hong Xiaoyu again.

"No, I haven’t..."

"If you like her, why haven’t you confessed?"

Shi Qianxi asked curiously.

Hong Xiaoyu had no defense.

"Do you think it’s like shopping in a mall, where you can just try if you like something?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t just stand by.

"What’s the difference? If you don’t confess, how can you be with her?"

Shi Qianxi turned her head, without a second thought.

Jiang Chen had no response.

She was right.

Arguing these points with this lady was probably like casting pearls before swine.

In her world, emotions might indeed be no different from shopping.

With her background, she rarely considers price when shopping, and the same is true in the realm of romance.

The people she takes a fancy to almost certainly can’t escape; she isn’t concerned with their willingness.

Mutual affection doesn’t mean much to her.

There have been too many examples, even for an exceptional person like Sun Xiyu—what can he do? Still helpless, still temperless.

Of course.

Now there’s a brave soul who has stepped forward to take his place.

"Qian Qian, she might already have someone she likes."

Hong Xiaoyu said with a bitter smile.

Shi Qianxi turned to look at the youth who didn’t resemble a student and had a decent temperament.

She quickly turned back, still unconcerned.

"So what if she likes someone else? Marriages can end in divorce, and besides, didn’t that girl just say they were just friends?"

Hong Xiaoyu had no response.

Shi Qianxi leaned forward, her mouth mischievously curving upward.

"Do you need Qian Qian’s help? If you’re willing, I can guarantee you’ll win her over."

This lady’s use of "sister" had become increasingly fluent.

Hong Xiaoyu looked to his cousin for help, overwhelmed.

As for her robust enthusiasm, Jiang Chen could only smile wryly.

"Can’t you relax for a bit? He can handle his own affairs."

He didn’t doubt her abilities.

But given her personality, letting her interfere, who knows what troubles she’d cause.

Love has increasingly become a transaction in this era, but Jiang Chen still didn’t want his cousin to be corrupted.

Shi Qianxi’s forceful approach was not suitable for his cousin’s world.

"Right, Qian Qian, thanks for your kindness. I can handle it myself."

Hong Xiaoyu quickly agreed.

Even though the other person wasn’t shy, he didn’t have the same boldness. It was their first meeting, and he couldn’t accept asking someone to help him chase a girl.

Shi Qianxi didn’t insist.

"Alright, but if you need Qian Qian’s help, don’t hesitate."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, then excused himself to go to the restroom and left his seat.

"Your cousin is not much like you, huh?"

Shi Qianxi mumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"He seems a bit shy, too timid."

Jiang Chen frowned, "Why do I feel like you’re beating around the bush insulting me?"

"No, I’m praising you."

Shi Qianxi smiled sweetly.

Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue, "Sit here for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Chen didn’t answer and got up to leave.

At this moment.

Hong Xiaoyu, who claimed to be going to the restroom, was actually hiding in a secluded spot making a phone call.

"Hurry up, talk to Da Yong and the others, it’s urgent."

Jiang Chen quietly approached from behind.

"Really? The three of you can’t come up with a thousand? How about eight hundred? Do you have eight hundred? I’ll pay you back next week."

Hong Xiaoyu said urgently, completely unaware of his cousin’s approach.

Still so young.

Too concerned with keeping up appearances.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and patted his shoulder.

Hong Xiaoyu jumped, turned around, and like a thief, quickly hung up the phone.

"Brother."

He nervously put down his phone.

"What’s up?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"Nothing, my roommate called me, it’s nothing now."
