Xiao Yanzhi slightly narrowed his eyes, looking extremely nonchalant. His gaze rested on her. "Why are you here?"
He posed a look of confusion at her presence here.
Perfect.
Truly perfect.
Jiang Li couldn't help but want to clap her hands to applaud his acting skills. He should have been an actor instead of a capitalist. No one would compete with him for the title of movie emperor.
She had originally had no interest in this gathering. Now that he was standing by indifferently, she had even more reason to leave. "I just happened to pass by. Goodbye."
After saying that, she was about to leave.
Just then, Duan Yibo got out of a luxury sports car. Seeing the three people standing by the roadside, especially when he saw Jiang Li, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Jiang Li, I heard you've been in Huacheng recently. I've missed you so much, sis." Duan Yibo walked over, his tone very affectionate. "It's so rare to meet. We must have a great time today."
Chen Siqi had also arrived with Duan Yibo.
They were in the same circle, so they were bound to run into each other.
Jiang Li was suddenly pestered by Duan Yibo and was a bit caught off guard. "Young Master Duan, I'm not very convenient today..."
"Aren't you Miss Jiang Li's boyfriend, Mr. Chen?" Qin Yaoyao's voice was shrill as she suddenly took the lead in the conversation. For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Chen Siqi.
Jiang Li's heart tightened instantly.
The scandal between her and Chen Siqi had basically been cleared up. Not long ago, their companies had even issued a joint statement saying that they had broken up amicably.
Although many fans had been very optimistic about this on - screen couple, they had more or less accepted the breakup calmly.
It was normal for ordinary people to break up and get back together, and it was no different for celebrities.
Jiang Li had thought that she wouldn't have any contact with him in the future. Meeting him here was really embarrassing.
Xiao Yanzhi sneered with a cold voice. "They've already broken up. The statement was released last week."
"Broken up?" Qin Yaoyao was stunned.
Chen Siqi frowned. He first confirmed with Jiang Li with a look in his eyes, then said in relief, "Yes, we've broken up."
A look of disappointment flashed across Qin Yaoyao's face.
But soon, she became excited again. Her eyes kept darting back and forth between Jiang Li and Chen Siqi, and she said deliberately in a profound tone, "But I think Mr. Chen and Miss Jiang Li are a perfect match."
As soon as the word "match" came out, the faces of two people present darkened.
One was Jiang Li, and the other was Xiao Yanzhi.
"Miss Qin, you're overpraising. We're not a match." Chen Siqi's tone was very natural. He looked at Xiao Yanzhi. "You can't force feelings. When you can't hold on, you have to let go."
"Mr. Xiao, am I right?"
Although his tone was calm, there seemed to be an undercurrent of gunpowder, as if it could explode at any moment.
Xiao Yanzhi's eyes were as black as ink, with an indescribable sense of danger.
Chen Siqi was no less so.
Jiang Li's former sugar daddy was A Yan. A Yan's current girlfriend was Qin Yaoyao. Now Qin Yaoyao was saying that Chen Siqi was Jiang Li's ex - boyfriend, and Chen Siqi was also A Yan's competitor...
Duan Yibo wiped his face hard.
Damn it, this circle is really messed up.
He had a naughty personality. He knew he was a playboy and couldn't be taken seriously. He had all kinds of fun.
But looking at the complicated relationships among these people today, it was obvious that they were more promiscuous than him.
"Come on, since we're all here, let's play together."
Duan Yibo always liked to stir up trouble and loved excitement. He was too lazy to care about so much. He put his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder and pushed her towards the bar. "We all know each other anyway. No one is a stranger."
They were not strangers.
But when this group of people who were not really strangers but might as well be sat together, the atmosphere began to turn strange.
Jiang Li was forced to sit in the corner, silent.
She was thinking about when she could leave.
Qin Yaoyao was beaming. She clung to Xiao Yanzhi and wouldn't let go, smiling at him with admiration in her eyes.
The two of them looked like a perfect couple.
Bai He also had a complicated look on her face.
"Hey, Hehe, isn't your fiancé coming today?" Qin Yaoyao leaned on Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder, blinking her eyes. "I'm curious about what kind of outstanding man can marry you."
Bai He was stunned for a moment and replied, "He's my fellow apprentice. I heard he's been working on a serial case in another city recently and won't be back for a while."
This was the news Bai He had only learned after returning to Beicheng.
"Will you get engaged as soon as he comes back?" Qin Yaoyao asked.
"Yes." When it came to her fiancé, Bai He's eyes sparkled. "Song Yu is my fellow apprentice. He's given me a lot of help in my career."
"Your fiancé is Lawyer Song?" Qin Yaoyao was surprised when she heard the name.
At this time, Jiang Li also looked up.
So she was the fiancée Song Yu had mentioned before.
The daughter of the Bai family was engaged to the eldest son of the Song family. Everyone would say they were a well - matched couple.
"Didn't I tell you today? It was his suggestion that I go abroad to study. If it weren't for him, I might not have reached my current level."
Saying this, Bai He blushed like a young girl. This was the reaction one would have towards the person they loved.
Qin Yaoyao looked at Bai He thoughtfully and smiled faintly.
She had an idea.
They had come to play together, but in the end, only Qin Yaoyao and Bai He were chatting non - stop.
Men didn't talk about such love - related topics.
Duan Yibo was bored and yawned. "How about playing some cards? I've been itching to play recently. Guys, give me some face and play a few rounds?"
Qin Yaoyao shook her head, saying she didn't know how to play cards, and Bai He also showed no interest.
Needless to say about Jiang Li.
She had been uninterested since she came in. At this moment, her mind was wandering, and she didn't even notice what Duan Yibo had said.
So the three men played cards, and the three women chatted.
It was a reasonable division of labor.
"Hehe, you've been abroad for so long. You must not know much about the domestic entertainment circle."
Qin Yaoyao pulled Bai He to sit on the sofa next to Jiang Li and introduced Jiang Li. "This is Miss Jiang Li. She's an artist from A Yan's company. She's a very famous big star."
Bai He nodded and reached out her hand. "Nice to meet you. You're very beautiful."
Jiang Li responded politely. "Nice to meet you, Miss Bai."
Seeing the atmosphere become harmonious, a look of dissatisfaction flashed across Qin Yaoyao's face, but she quickly smiled again. "Hehe, actually you should get to know Miss Jiang Li. You two are quite fateful."
The moment she heard this, Jiang Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
Bai He was puzzled. "Why?"
"Because Miss Jiang Li and Lawyer Song have a very good relationship."
Qin Yaoyao blinked her eyes, her tone innocent and light. "Lawyer Song was even involved in a scandal with Miss Jiang Li before. If you don't believe me, you can search for it."
So she had been digging a pit for her here.
Sure enough, Bai He's facial expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously reached for her phone in her handbag.
