Jiang Li didn"t know the answer.
But the glamorous woman had become acquainted with his ex-fiancee due to her curiosity towards the woman he married in the past life.
It was sparked by the news that Jiang Li had suddenly canceled their engagement.
It was a piece of news that only circulated within the upper ranks since the two families involved didn"t want it to spread to the common populace. Xia Xinyue also didn"t know.
When Zhu Li talked one time with the woman born from a family of scholars in a high politician"s birth party, they clicked with each other and immediately became friends.
Months had gone by since then.
"Xia Xinyue, you"ve taken quite a while so I just came to pick you up. What happened though? I thought you would just be getting your phone"s power bank?"
The pearl white skin and beautiful smile captivated the people around.
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
Zhu Li exuded the grace and poise of a real socialite hence eyes couldn"t help but get drawn to her. It was just hard to not turn their heads to her direction due to her radiant beauty.
Jiang Li who was watching from the distance laughed because he saw Bai Qing also stopping to stare at the woman in red, yet when she recovered and realized that people"s adoration s.h.i.+fted away from her, her face crumpled from hostility.
He could hear them too, of course, thanks to the hacker who kind-heartedly taught him how to fiddle with people"s devices and his earphones.
"Look at this girl." He narrowed his eyes, amused. "Too much of an attention seeker."
"Good day. I"m Bai Qing. We just have a bit of talk. My apologies for holding back Miss Xia."
The man next to the white lotus girl protectively interjected,
"Wait. Why are you saying sorry? You"re not at fault. It"s Miss Xia who kept denying her wrongdoings."
The latter"s current distressed expression was purposely made to take back everyone"s gaze to her.
And the foolish admirer just did a great job following up. As expected of the female lead"s halo.
Zhu Li maintained her polite smile in front of Bai Qing"s apologetic gaze.
Zhu Li saw a bit of what happened earlier so she had a hunch of what kind of person the harmless and pure-looking girl before her.
As someone already mingling with the real world, how could Bai Qing"s little mischievousness escape her notice?

"Xia Xinyue?" She chose to face her friend, reminding the younger girl her question.
Quietness reigned upon the place. Zhu Li looked like a queen having an audience with her subjects. People didn"t dare to chime in since they were not the one asked.
Xia Xinyue gave the Zhu Corporation"s Princess a grateful glance.
This was what she badly needed, an opportunity to explain herself. And this was given to her by the woman.
"I"m sorry, Miss Zhu. There might be some misunderstanding here between me and Miss Bai. Last time, I simply asked if she"s now together with a senior of mine. And she mistook it as if I will be asking her to break relations with him. Which I never did. She had just now apologized, saying since I liked someone I actually don"t...."
Xia Xinyue threw the man an indifferent glance.
She didn"t lie because she no longer does.
Who would continue to idolize a douchebag that doesn"t listen to reason?
So she continued,
"She said since I liked someone I actually really don"t, she"ll stay away from him. I became a bit incensed at her for saying this in public where so many people could see us. I was simply afraid of misunderstanding, for my own reputation."
The girl showed a bitter smile, which returned rationales to some people bewitched by the female lead"s aura.
But that Senior Feng gave Xia Xinyue a disbelieving glance. Must be the ego of a man who she emphasized she didn"t like.
"I think what I fear has somehow come true. People seem to be thinking I bullied her."
