Chapter 158: 072: Revelation of Background_3

She wanted to invite Lin Wu to her home as soon as possible.

She couldn’t afford to give anything away.

"Okay," the Butler nodded.

Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the door, followed by Loo Xiyue’s voice, "Junjun, come out and see who’s here."

At these words, Loo Xiyue slightly furrowed her brows.

Who is it?

Shen Lijun had just stood up from her chair when Loo Xiyue walked in from outside.

Following her was a sun-kissed teenager about seventeen or eighteen.

Dressed in a hoodie, and although his face was covered with a mask, Shen Lijun recognized him instantly, "Song Jiu?"

Song Jiu was a good buddy Shen Lijun made at the aristocratic school after the Shen Family suddenly made a fortune.

Upon hearing her, Song Jiu took off his mask, "Didn’t expect Miss Shen to still remember me."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Lijun walked over and gave Song Jiu a light punch, "What brings you to Qing City all of a sudden?"

Song Jiu held his chest in feigned agony, "Ow! My bones are broken! It’s been so long, Miss Shen. How are you still this violent?"

Loo Xiyue didn’t want to interfere with the young people’s affairs, and said with a smile, "Junjun, you chat with Ah Jiu. I’m off to play cards with your Aunt Zhao and the others."

"Hmm," Shen Lijun nodded.

Song Jiu politely said, "Auntie, take care."

Loo Xiyue turned to Song Jiu and continued, "Ah Jiu, I’ve specifically asked the kitchen to prepare some good food. Don’t leave tonight; stay for dinner."

"Thank you, Auntie," Song Jiu replied politely.

"Hmm, Auntie, there is no need for formalities."

"Song Jiu, tell me honestly, what brought you here?" Shen Lijun asked, looking at Song Jiu.

With a mischievous grin, Song Jiu replied, "Isn’t it because I was worried you’d be lonely and cold here in Qing City all by yourself? So I came specially to keep you company."

Shen Lijun naturally didn’t believe a word of it.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Jiu added, "Don’t you still have no friends to speak of up to now?"

Shen Lijun was very socially anxious.

Additionally, many people approached her with an agenda in the past, which made her deeply wary of everyone.

At his words, Shen Lijun laughed and said, "You’re wrong. I have a very good friend now."

Song Jiu was taken aback.

"Who?"

Shen Lijun replied, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know her."

"A guy or a girl?" Song Jiu asked.

"A girl," Shen Lijun said, continuing, "To be precise, she’s my bestie."

Bestie?

Song Jiu disliked this term.

Many news stories nowadays involve besties.

Cheating out of some money was one thing.

But some besties didn’t even spare their good friend’s husband.

Utterly disgusting!

"Miss Shen, you’re rich and powerful, but please don’t let anyone deceive you," he warned.

Shen Lijun felt exasperated, "How can you and Mum think so badly of people?"

How could Lin Wu possibly be a bad person?

With a smile, Song Jiu said, "You can never be too careful. After all, you are who you are."

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Lijun was like a little lamb.

Even getting a little wool from her would be worth quite a bit.

Moreover,

Shen Lijun, a person who was not easily trusting of others, was now defending a girl so adamantly, which in itself was enough to arouse suspicion.

If this girl wasn’t very calculating, who would believe it if you told them?

Shen Lijun knew Song Jiu’s words were for her own good; he was worried she would be deceived or bullied, "She doesn’t know about my family situation."

Without knowing her family’s circumstances, how could Lin Wu possibly have any ulterior motives?

"She doesn’t know?" Song Jiu furrowed his brows slightly, "Then, how did you two meet?"

"At the Qingzhong School exam hall. She’s incredibly talented, scored first in five subjects," Shen Lijun couldn’t even think of an adjective good enough to describe Lin Wu, "Basically, she’s not like what you would imagine. And another thing, it wasn’t she who approached me first, it was me who approached her! And she’s super pretty, I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than her. Anyway, I just want to be good friends with her."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiu grew curious.

It was the first time he had ever heard Shen Lijun praise someone like this.

And it was the first time he had ever heard her call someone else good-looking.

Shen Lijun herself was no slouch in the looks department.

Someone even more beautiful than her...

What would she look like?

With a beaming smile, Song Jiu said, "Then when will you introduce this new friend of yours to me?"

Shen Lijun did not directly answer the question but instead said, "You still haven’t told me why you decided to come to Qing City."

"Missed you, that’s all," Song Jiu crossed his arms.

Song Jiu was always nonchalant, and Shen Lijun couldn’t help but kick him, "Can’t you be normal for once?"

"Fuck! Are you trying to murder your own husband?!"

Shen Lijun raised her leg for another kick, "Crazy!"

Song Jiu, cradling his leg, "It’s broken! Miss Shen, what should I say to my girlfriend if she asks?"
