Chapter 486: What are surprises

"When do you plan to return to East Sea?"

"Do you have an emergency?"

Jiang Chen reminded her, "I have to rush back for the graduation ceremony."

"Oh right."

Shi Qianxi remembered.

Indeed.

It was already late June.

She turned her head, her smile radiant, "Do you need me to accompany you to the ceremony?"

"You’re busy with work, no need to bother yourself with such a trivial matter," Jiang Chen replied without hesitation.

Shi Qianxi huffed.

"Maybe your school will invite me. I might even have to present you with your diploma."

Imagining that scene, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Aren’t you bored?"

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

With this woman’s capabilities, if she really wanted to, she definitely could make it happen.

Hadn’t she been invited to attend the New Year’s gala before?

"Don’t worry, it won’t take that long, next week then, I definitely won’t delay your graduation," Shi Qianxi yawned and leaned back in her seat.

Jiang Chen did not continue the conversation.

"Weren’t you going to see Mr. Duan? What are you doing here?"

When the car stopped and he saw the gate of Geological University outside the window, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised.

Shi Qianxi ignored him and took out her phone to make a call.

"Xiao Yu, we’ve arrived, right at the front gate of your school. Come on out."

Jiang Chen was stunned. After she put down the phone, he couldn’t help but blurt out urgently, "How do you know my brother’s number?"

Shi Qianxi gave him a glance, no different from looking at an idiot.

Jiang Chen quickly realized he had indeed asked an almost idiotic question.

With this lady’s skills, not to mention a phone number, if she wished, she could probably even know what color of underwear his cousin was wearing that day.

"Why are you calling my brother out?"

"What’s with that look? Do you think I would harm him?"

Shi Qianxi, obviously dissatisfied, argued righteously, "Isn’t he just heartbroken? You’re his brother and yet you’ve left him to his own devices. I can’t just stand by and watch."

Jiang Chen was left both crying and laughing.

What did she mean by leaving him to his own devices?

Could he really force the girl to stay with his cousin?

"I’m warning you, don’t cause trouble," Jiang Chen said sternly.

He was very aware of this woman’s character.

Due to the gap in social class, what might seem like a simple thing to her could end up having a catastrophic impact on ordinary people.

Just look at the once-perfect "Eye of Medusa."

To this lady, it was at most a slightly valuable stone; if it broke, it broke. But that incident had almost ruined Li Shuru’s life.

"How am I causing trouble? I just want to take him out for a meal. Staying alone in school, he’s likely to get depressed," Shi Qianxi reasoned.

That sounded quite sensible.

"But, is it appropriate to bring him along to dine with Mr. Duan?" Jiang Chen still felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

"Don’t you trust my arrangements? I’ve already spoken to Uncle Duan, and he has agreed. It’s not a business engagement, just at his home," Shi Qianxi blinked.

"Besides, there will be a surprise."

The moment she mentioned the surprise, Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "What kind of surprise?"

"You’ll find out soon enough," the Miss Shi remained deliberately vague and mysterious.

"Be clear with what you’re saying," Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, feeling anxious around her. The "surprise" she mentioned could very well turn into a shock.

"Stop asking, I promise it’s something good."

Shi Qianxi’s lips were sealed; she seemed determined to keep a secret, but Jiang Chen felt increasingly uneasy inside.

He wanted to press for answers, but Shi Qianxi looked out the window.

"Your brother has come out."

It was a weekend holiday.

There were many students coming and going.

Shi Qianxi asked the driver to honk the horn.

Hong Xiaoyu walked over.

"Sister Qian Qian, Brother."

Seeing his cousin get in the car, Jiang Chen had to drop the subject.

But surprisingly,

this kid didn’t look dejected or gloomy at all, but rather spirited, much more than Jiang Chen had imagined.

Now that’s what a man looks like.

The Sprinter, dubbed a mobile palace, restarted and left the Geological University.

"Sister Qian Qian, where are we going?"

At that, Jiang Chen also felt somewhat helpless.

Could this kid be any more careless, getting into a car without even knowing the purpose behind the request?

"We’re going to meet an elder; you don’t need to be nervous."

Shi Qianxi said casually.

Such an explanation was clearly perfunctory, and Jiang Chen added, "The person used to be a professor at Hancheng University, so be mindful later."

A professor from Han University?

Hong Xiaoyu was internally shaken.

Indeed, Sister Qian Qian was extraordinary, surrounding herself with remarkable people.

Even though he found it odd that he was included, he didn’t dare to ask and instantly fell silent.

"Don’t listen to your brother; Uncle Duan is very kind, just treat him as any ordinary elder."

Shi Qianxi consoled him; meanwhile, she turned on the 49-inch curved screen TV in the car, as if to relax Hong Xiaoyu’s mood.

Thankfully, both Jiang Chen and Shi Qianxi gave a vague introduction and didn’t elaborate on Duan Zhongxin’s exact identity.

Then they spent the journey with the phrase "There is only one truth."

This lady was indeed unusual, actually enjoying watching Detective Conan.

But it must be said that Hong Xiaoyu’s attention had indeed been effectively diverted. When he got out of the car, he seemed somewhat regretful for not having seen the most exciting case resolution at the end.

It was hard to imagine that Duan Zhongxin, a high-ranking official in Jinhai and a member of the political consultative conference, actually lived in such an ordinary residential building. It wasn’t just that it couldn’t compare with luxurious mansions; it even fell short next to some newly built residential areas.

Pretentious?

Courting fame?

Just like the evaluation of Liu Bei in The Three Kingdoms, if a hypocrite can play his part for an entire lifetime, there’s essentially no difference from a true gentleman.

"Are you sure you don’t need to buy some gifts?"

According to normal social etiquette, it was rather inappropriate to visit empty-handed.

But Shi Qianxi was completely unconcerned.

"No need, Uncle Duan doesn’t care about those things."

It’s one thing for him not to care, but whether you bring something is another matter.

Of course.

Given the relationship between Duan Zhongxin and this lady, Jiang Chen didn’t interfere too much.

As the dormitory assigned to professor-level personnel at Hancheng University, there was an elevator.

The bodyguards waited in the car.

Shi Qianxi led Jiang Chen and Hong Xiaoyu in the elevator to the eighth floor, to door 802, where she knocked on the door.

Soon,

light footsteps could be heard inside, and then the door was pulled open from within.

What appeared before Jiang Chen was not the high-ranking official from Jinhai, but a young girl with picturesque features.

"Sister Qian Qian."

She looked at Shi Qianxi and quickly smiled radiantly.

Miss Shi put on a mature and steady act, smiling slightly, and complimented, "Xue Ling, you’ve become even prettier after a few years."

Lagging half a step behind Shi Qianxi, Jiang Chen wore a peculiar expression, suddenly feeling like he understood "what a damn surprise" meant.
