Chapter 365: Are You Sick?

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Are You Sick?

Jiang Li didn’t make a sound, she merely glanced in the direction of the second floor.

The man stretched out his hand to greet her, his face still not quite discernible. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Jiang Li politely declined, "Sorry, I cannot accept a reward without merit."

The man didn’t seem surprised and smiled, saying, "No, Miss Jiang, you have done a favor for our Master Shaojing, and these Shariputra are also a thank you gift from Mr. Shang. Please accept them."

"May I ask..." Jiang Li was somewhat curious, "who is your young master?"

The man didn’t speak, instead he glanced at the Buddha Beads on her wrist.

It was just that one look, and Jiang Li understood.

"Okay, then I’ll accept it, please thank your young master for me." She raised her hand and took the box.

On the second floor, He Pingzhang also lifted the corners of his lips.

The assistant who had completed the task nodded and then quickly returned upstairs.

The crowd remaining watched enviously as Jiang Li held the item in her hand.

A lady of high society who had met Jiang Li came forward directly, "Oh, Miss Jiang really is blessed; accepting a gift worth one hundred million just like that. Seems like I need to bask in Miss Jiang’s good fortune."

Jiang Li simply smiled without a word, skillfully responding to the banter.

Beside her, Su Yinwan was practically green with envy.

Who in the world would give Jiang Li such an expensive gift?!

That was a Shariputra worth one hundred million!

Moreover, even Jin Siyue wouldn’t dare to offend that person!

Su Yinwan, wanting to figure out the situation, looked up towards the second floor, but the man was no longer there.

She had no choice but to turn to Shang Shaojing for help.

"Brother Shaojing, who was that man, and why doesn’t Younger President Jin dare to confront him?"

Shang Shaojing looked somewhat cold, lost in thought, and merely uttered four words, "You don’t know him."

After that, he walked straight towards Jiang Li.

Su Yinwan stood there, frozen in place.

Shang Shaojing actually spoke to her like that? And he was going to find that woman, Jiang Li?!

"Do you know He Pingzhang?" Seeing Jiang Li about to leave, Shang Shaojing reached out and grabbed her arm.

A look of disgust flickered in Jiang Li’s eyes, then without a trace of change in her expression, she withdrew her arm.

"Mr. Shang, please be mindful, men and women should not touch hands."

"I am not acquainted with anyone named He Pingzhang, and please don’t suddenly get angry at others for no reason, it’s very impolite."

Shang Shaojing’s face grew even more unpleasant.

"Jiang Li, is this how you’re talking to me now?"

He didn’t understand, how had the annoying shadow who always used to follow him around turned into this stranger before him now?

"Shang Shaojing." Jiang Li inexplicably stared at him, cursing with the first swear word she had used since waking up two lifetimes later, "Are you sick?"

Are all the male leads in dominating CEO novels crazy?

When she clung to him, he despised her enough to want to flatten her entire family; now that she was staying away, he was acting capricious again.

She couldn’t understand it, nor did she want to.

Jiang Li left without looking back.

Shang Shaojing initially wanted to chase after her to get some clarity, but was soon grabbed by Su Yinwan, who had run over to him.

"Brother Shaojing..." Her eyes were already rimmed with red, "When did you and Jiang Li get so close?"

Shang Shaojing stayed silent for a moment, then gave up the idea of chasing Jiang Li and turned back to hold her hand instead.

"Yinwan, don’t overthink it, I just wanted to clear up a few things."

During her time in Chixia Village, she was very close to Zhao Lang, and now she is also involved with He Pingzhang.

It was difficult for him not to speculate about something.

...

Jiang Li returned to Wen Jiaojiao and the others with the Shariputra in hand.

Before she could even sit down, Wen Jiaojiao, who was eager for gossip, dragged her over.

"Damn, Lili, when did you get to know such high-level big shots? A gift worth a hundred million just like that?!"

"Exactly," Qi Tianyu stared at the Shariputra in her hand in shock as well, "I thought I was seeing things at first."

Jiang Yan also looked serious, "Now, Jiang Li, you better not be led astray."

Jiang Li: "..."

"What are you all thinking?" She put away the box and said, "It’s just because I saved someone’s life. A hundred million is nothing compared to his life; I’m still at a loss."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, Zhao Lang sneezed hard.

"You have no idea, Lili," Wen Jiaojiao said, "The discussions about you on Weibo are going crazy. They’re saying you’re wearing a dress embroidered by Master Liu, and that you’ve caught the eye of some mysterious big shot. There’s so much gossip I haven’t even caught up yet."

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, "It’s pretty good, isn’t it? It’s also like helping promote Director Zhang’s movie, right?"

Wen Jiaojiao: ?

Didn’t this sister worry about her reputation being affected at all?

And she’s still thinking about movie promotion at a time like this?

Who else would be popular if not her?

With that, all the auctions had concluded.

The evening ended with a pure cocktail networking event.

Having drawn much attention, Jiang Li, who initially had been ignored, soon found herself surrounded by various people coming over to toast.

Some were slyly inquiring about how she knew Liu Suqing, while others asked about the identity of the big shot who gave her the Vajra Relics.

Jiang Li skillfully defused all inquiries, gaining yet another round of positive reviews for her adept social skills.

After leaving the building, Wen Jiaojiao was still reflecting, "Anyone who didn’t know better would think Jiang Li was a specially trained lady of high society. My mom isn’t even as good as you at handling drinks."

Jiang Li smiled.

Of course, after all, those banquets back in Daqi weren’t attended for nothing.

Jiang Yan stretched lazily, "This party was so boring. Let’s go have a couple of drinks next door; luckily, I don’t have any engagements tomorrow."

"Sure thing, I’m in!" Qi Tianyu and Wen Jiaojiao raised their hands in agreement.

Shu Yan, who had been busy making calls earlier, hurried over to catch up.

"Sorry, guys, I’m not going with you. My husband’s come to pick me up..."

Despite feeling a bit regretful, Wen Jiaojiao knew that a married person like Shu Yan had different commitments compared to their single selves, so she could only nod.

"Alright, Sister Yan, you go ahead."

Shu Yan apologized once more before quickly wrapping up in a coat and running across the street.

Jiang Li instinctively glanced over and happened to see the white sedan Shu Yan’s husband was driving.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face that was gentle but tinged with annoyance.

Jiang Li furrowed her brow.

This face... didn’t look like it belonged to a good person.

The couple seemed to be arguing; Shu Yan’s face revealed her dissatisfaction, but she still mustered a forced smile to wave at her friends before getting in the car and disappearing from sight.

The others didn’t observe as attentively as Jiang Li did, and they turned to walk toward the corner of the street, chatting and laughing.

That was until Qi Tianyu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn’t that Brother He’s assistant, Xiao Wu? Could Brother He also be here tonight?"

They all looked over with a slight excitement at the unexpected sighting.

But the somewhat desolate alleyway only had Xiao Wu standing there alone.

He seemed preoccupied, pacing back and forth nervously.
