Chapter 168: Chapter 171: Angry?

(The New Year has arrived, wishing everyone a Happy New Year, may the new year bring you lots of good luck, a prosperous love life, and abundant blessings! Also wishing myself plenty of tickets, rewards galore, hehe...)

"He does look somewhat familiar."

Zhao Hu nodded, his expression also laced with confusion.

"Ah, I remember now, that silhouette, it’s a bit like that country bumpkin!"

Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Qiang slapped his forehead in realization. Earlier, while he was looking at Shen Xiaoxiao, he had glanced at that man, caught a glimpse of the silhouette, but didn’t pay attention at the time as his focus was all on Shen Xiaoxiao. Now, after carefully considering their words, he suddenly reacted and exclaimed, leaving his own expression filled with disbelief.

When Gao Junjie and Zhao Hu heard what Wang Qiang said, they exchanged a look, both seeing a hint of shock in each other’s eyes.

"Old Fourth, have you been scared silly by that country bumpkin? Now you think everyone looks like him?"

Li Han disdainfully glanced at Wang Qiang, "How could that guy be the country bumpkin? Does the country bumpkin even have the right to come in here?"

"This... that’s true, it probably isn’t him, I only thought the silhouette resembled him somewhat, I didn’t see his face."

Chided by Li Han, Wang Qiang suddenly felt a bit sheepish.

Then, as if recalling something, he cried out loud, "I remember now, the coat that guy was wearing, I think I’ve seen it somewhere before, it’s from an Italian brand, I think it costs over twenty thousand a piece, it definitely can’t be that country bumpkin, he absolutely couldn’t afford that outfit!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember too, I’ve also seen that suit he was wearing, the whole set must be around fifty or sixty thousand, that country bumpkin, I guess even if he had another twenty years, he might not be able to afford that suit. And also, that kid’s bearing just now is completely different from the disgusting rogue vibe on that country bumpkin."

Li Han nodded in agreement.

Hearing their conversation, Gao Junjie and Zhao Hu pondered for a while, both let out a sigh of relief. Gao Junjie’s face showed a faint smile as he lightly patted Wang Qiang’s shoulder, "Let’s go, we should head inside. We’re already late, and it would be rude to delay any further."

"Damn that broken car."

"Right, of all times to break down, it just had to be now."

Hearing Gao Junjie’s words, the two grumbled and quickly straightened their clothes before walking inside.

"Oh, isn’t that Young Master Gao?"

Just as they were about to take a step, a somewhat soft mocking chuckle suddenly came from the side.

Jin Xiaohan, looking sharp in his formal wear and exuding an extraordinary presence, stepped down from a BMW beside them and walked toward them with a faint smile on his face.

"Young Master Jin, have you just arrived?"

Gao Junjie was slightly surprised, encountering Jin Xiaohan here was not unexpected; if he had an invitation, Jin Xiaohan was definitely on the guest list as well. Although Jin Xiaohan’s father was just a businessman without any significant status, he had a well-connected grandfather and mother—his mother was of the legitimate lineage of the Li Family.

"Sigh, what can I do, the traffic situation in G City really leaves one speechless."

Jin Xiaohan sighed before quickly changing the subject, casually asking Gao Junjie and the others, "Young Master Gao, did you see that BMW just now? Do you know who was in it?"

"I don’t know, I didn’t get a clear look. By the time I came over, they were already getting ready to leave."

Gao Junjie shook his head.

"Oh, is that so? That’s strange. We were all heading inside, and yet they were on their way out."

Jin Xiaohan shook his head somewhat disappointedly.

"Heh, who knows."

Gao Junjie chuckled. He was also curious about this question, but he knew that to get an answer, he had to wait until he got inside and asked someone there. His gaze shifted to Jin Xiaohan, who was still looking in the direction of the distant BMW, apparently deep in thought, and a shadow of gloom flickered in Gao Junjie’s eyes. He said, seemingly nonchalantly, "By the way, Young Master Jin, the beauty you mentioned last time, you must have handled it by now, right? That bumpkin from our class hasn’t continued to ruin your good deeds, has he?"

"Hmm."

Upon hearing Gao Junjie bring up this matter, Jin Xiaohan’s gaze suddenly shifted, and his expression turned cold. He muttered an indistinct "hmm" before saying, "Young Master Gao, let’s hurry up and go inside, or we’ll be late."

Inside his sleeve, Jin Xiaohan’s fist clenched tightly. This incident was his utmost humiliation; he had been bullied over and over by that bumpkin Xiao Yi, and he could only suppress his anger to the point it nearly made him vomit blood. However, this was something he would never let Gao Junjie learn of.

If Gao Junjie knew about it, who knows what he would say about him in their circles. The next time they met, he might just end up being mocked.

What he didn’t know was that Gao Junjie wasn’t much better off, equally suffocating internally due to Xiao Yi.

But soon, it should all be resolved; that bumpkin wouldn’t be able to jump around much longer. A cruel, cold smile crossed Jin Xiaohan’s heart.

"Hehe, Young Master Jin is right, we should head in first."

Seeing Jin Xiaohan vaguely brushing the topic aside, Gao Junjie felt somewhat annoyed, but it wasn’t his place to press further. Asking more would be too brazen, and if he let the vindictive Jin Xiaohan find out that he had laughed at him, it would not bode well.

He chuckled dryly and followed Jin Xiaohan inside.

......

After leaving Young Master Liu’s villa, Shen Xiaoxiao drove Xiao Yi to a seafood restaurant by the Redwater River, where they enjoyed a meal of delicious seafood.

The restaurant didn’t look very impressive, resembling a large iron shed, but it was bustling with guests. The seafood inside was cooked so well that even Xiao Yi, who had quite high standards, couldn’t help but praise it heartily.

If it weren’t for Shen Xiaoxiao’s constant teasing, it would have been an absolutely perfect dinner. Unfortunately, her incessant ribbing, which turned his face red from embarrassment, left Xiao Yi unable to enjoy his food.

"Sister Shen, if you keep this up, I won’t be polite anymore."

After being teased once more by Shen Xiaoxiao, who whispered softly in his ear, causing his face to flush almost to the roots of his ears, Xiao Yi finally raised his head and glared at her fiercely.

"Oh my, our Brother Xiao is angry? How do you plan to be impolite to Sister, hmm?"

Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Yi’s glaring eyes, her gaze playful and seductive as she cast a provocative look his way.

Xiao Yi, seeing the smile in the corners of Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes, appearing utterly unafraid of him, suddenly felt a rush of blood to his head and, with a sudden move, wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips against her bright red lips.
