"Oh, I still have things to do, so I won't be accompanying you guys." Li Xi stood up as she spoke, and anxiously took her own bag. "Sorry, but I suddenly remembered that Yuexiao is still waiting for me to go to a party."
"Oh, then hurry up and leave us be." Gu Wei also hurriedly got up and hypocritically dealt with it for a bit, until Li Xi's figure disappeared from her line of sight before she finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"What, I'm scared!" Su Wan put her slender legs on the chair in front of him with a complacent look on his face, and leaned her back against it. "It seems like your good days are coming to an end."
Gu Wei's face darkened as she glared at Su Wan in displeasure.
"You, what nonsense are you spouting!" Gu Wei was obviously a little nervous, and even her tone did not carry the slightest bit of confidence.
But Su Wan only sneered, and ignored Gu Wei's attitude, as she grabbed her own bag, and left.
Three years ago, she had personally witnessed the relationship between Gu Wei and her, so how could she not know all of this?
However, even Su Wan did not expect that Li Xi, who was originally so heavily injured, would actually miraculously survive …
Although she had too many questions regarding the sea oil, Su Wan walked away in front of Gu Wei with satisfied steps.
Gu Wei slumped onto the chair, but her heart was in turmoil.
After staring blankly for a long time, Gu Wei finally walked out of the coffee shop and went straight to her car.
When the red car sped off, Li Xi slowly lowered her window and instructed the driver coldly, "Follow that red car."
The driver nodded and started the car.
Seeing Gu Wei's car arrive outside Cheng Xiaonuo's house, Li Xi's eyes became even colder …
One hour later
Watching Gu Wei leaving Cheng Xiaonuo's house, Li Xi's eyes were ice-cold.
"Ma'am, should we follow her car now?" The driver suspiciously waited for Li Xi to speak.
Li Xi thought back to it and was stunned.
"No need, just wait for me here." Li Xi slowly got off the carriage and walked in.
When she opened the door, Cheng Xiaonuo saw that Li Xi, who was standing in front of him, was completely shocked.
"You … "Why are you …"
"Can't I come?" Li Xi's glass-like eyes were cold like ice.
Seeing Li Xi's appearance, Cheng Xiaonuo lowered her head.
"What did Gu Wei say." Li Xi did not beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.
Towards Cheng Xiaonuo, Li Xi still had too much hatred. After all, this woman had killed her sister.
Cheng Xiaonuo slowly raised her head and let out a helpless sigh of relief. She told me to go out and hide for a while, that you were beginning to suspect what happened three years ago. "
The coldness in Li Xi's eyes continued to spread. It was so cold that it made Cheng Xiaonuo's scalp go numb, and made him feel even more guilt.
"Oh, is that all?" Li Xi was clearly a little disappointed. She had originally thought that Gu Wei would greatly increase the number of people that were called to deal with her, but she didn't expect that she would only have this one sentence.
Cheng Xiaonuo frowned. Facing Li Xi's eyes, she still could not read Li Xi's true thoughts. Instead, the more she looked, the colder she felt, as if Li Xi's heart had already been frozen by ice.
"She …" "She said …"
Cheng Xiaonuo spoke as if her words were stuck in her throat.
However, Li Xi actually revealed a faint smile with her white teeth, as if everything regarding Cheng Xiaonuo was within her expectations. She said she would get rid of me, right? "
Li Xi's words made Cheng Xiaonuo suddenly raise her head, her face turning pale white.
She did not expect Li Xi to guess it.
"Looking at Cheng Xiaonuo, Li Xi lightly patted Cheng Xiaonuo's shoulders. Xiao Nuo, if you have any feelings of guilt towards my sister, you'd better stand on my side. "
Li Xi's words became cold and gloomy, causing Cheng Xiaonuo to tremble all over as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Looking at Cheng Xiaonuo's sallow face, Li Xi eased up her attitude. The corner of her mouth rose slightly, revealing her cute teeth. I just hope that you do not make the same mistake over and over again. You should understand this logic. "
Cheng Xiaonuo slowly nodded her head. Of course she understood.
"As for the matter with the Jin family, I will give you a proper investigation. That way, you will be able to find out who is the one that has truly forced your senior, who you secretly love, onto a path of death." Glancing at the small hands that were tightly holding onto Cheng Xiaonuo, Li Xi raised her eyebrows.
Cheng Xiaonuo raised her head again, the guilt in her eyes had been replaced with rage.
"I will never let these selfish people off."
Regarding Cheng Xiaonuo's oath, Li Xi sighed.
"Actually, it's been so many years. You should let it go now." Li Xi slowly turned around, faced the brilliant sunlight, and raised her small face that resembled a hibiscus, slightly covering her eyes. Golden Flow City also does not wish to see you continue to live in such a miserable manner. "
When Gold Flow City was mentioned, Cheng Xiaonuo would always act like a deflated ball.
Once, she would have been filled with anger and hatred for Li Xi in the next moment. But now, she could not find anything that could help her overcome her sadness.
"There's an opportunity today to let you get closer to the Jin family. I wonder if you're willing." Li Xi suddenly opened her eyes, and turned to look at Zhan Chang, who was hating Cheng Xiaonuo nonstop. Perhaps, this is also the person who will be the easiest to breakthrough. "
"I do." Cheng Xiaonuo answered with absolute determination.
"Come with me." Li Xi turned her head and walked towards the carriage. Without any hesitation, he followed suit.
The sound of Li Xi's high heels hitting the ground came from the quiet corridor.
Li Xi pulled Cheng Xiaonuo along, and followed behind Ling Yushi.
"When you have fun later, Xiao Nuo and I will find a place to drink and wait for you." Li Xi smiled lightly, her glass-like eyes flashed.
Ling Yushi nodded, not saying a word. However, the aura of a noble that was born with it was still as overbearing as before.
Tonight, Ling Yushi treated Li Xi to participate in a small gathering place, and the reason Li Xi brought Cheng Xiaonuo here was because she knew that the Jin family that worked with Ling Family would also participate, and Jin Chengyu would also participate.
As the heir to the Jin Group, of course he wouldn't miss the opportunity to meet with the big shots of the big companies.
Once they arrived at the banquet, Li Xi dragged Cheng Xiaonuo to a corner and observed the various people.
Cheng Xiaonuo kept her head down the entire time, constantly wasting time. She was obviously a little nervous.
"Don't be so nervous. You'd better relax if you want to get close to the Jin family." Li Xi picked up her wine cup, her black eyes looking far ahead, her red lips slowly drinking the brown wine.
Cheng Xiaonuo swallowed her saliva, avoided Li Xi's hand, raised her fair neck, and drank all of the remaining red wine. It's all right now. "
Looking at Cheng Xiaonuo's blushing face, Li Xi seemed to feel some heartache.
She even started to doubt whether she had been right or wrong when she had helped Cheng Xiaonuo to investigate the Jin Clan.
Li Xi swept her eyes across her surroundings, and looked at the man in the casual black pants and brown sweater, who seemed to be unable to blend in at all with the environment in front of him.
"Your six o'clock direction, that leisure guy is Jin Chengyu." Li Xi withdrew her watery eyes and looked at her surroundings with a smile. He is Golden Flow City's younger brother, but according to my investigations, Jin Chengyu is Golden Flow City's most beloved family member in this world. It seems to be just a superficial relationship. "
Hearing that, Cheng Xiaonuo nodded.
"Tonight, you have to get close to Jin Chengyu, and find out from his mouth who the person who forced Jin Liu City to commit suicide was."
After Cheng Xiaonuo finished listening, she rushed towards Jin Chengyu without even looking back.
Suddenly, Li Xi, who was behind her, grabbed her.
"If you want to go back on your word, as long as it's not too deep, you can still come back, but …"
"I have no choice. After all these years, the person I hated has become the real killer's scapegoat! And he was at large! You... You don't understand my feelings. " Cheng Xiaonuo slowly pushed Li Xi's hands away as the grief in her eyes flowed out once more.
Li Xi however, grabbed Cheng Xiaonuo's hand once more. Looking at Cheng Xiaonuo's determined face, Li Xi helplessly let go.
Suddenly, Li Xi felt like she was an innocent person who had just pushed Cheng Xiaonuo into a deep abyss …
"Can I borrow a seat?" Cheng Xiaonuo said with an expressionless face, but before Jin Chengyu could speak, she had already sat beside him. She looked in front of him, and continuously drank the red wine in her own cup.
Jin Chengyu looked at the girl beside him with interest.
Although she had a baby face, she looked different from the other girls who tried to curry favor with her. She seemed to be colder towards him, or perhaps, she did not care about him at all.
"You don't seem to like this either." Jin Chengyu slowly opened his mouth, but his magnetic voice made Cheng Xiaonuo's body slightly tremble.
This sound... It was extremely similar to Golden Flow City!
"Aren't you the same?" Suppressing the shock in her heart, Cheng Xiaonuo continued to look in front of him and poured the last mouthful of red wine into her mouth.
At this time, Cheng Xiaonuo's face had turned red, like a ripe apple.
"Yes, originally, I was the one who participated in this event." Jin Chengyu's voice was obviously a little sad, and after that, he took the brown liquid that had been swaying for a long time and gulped it down with a "gulp, gulp" sound.
Only then did Cheng Xiaonuo slowly turn around and carefully size up the boy in front of him.
He had small eyes, a single eyelid, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He looked very elegant, just like a Korean celebrity. It was very similar to Golden Flow City, especially that pair of eyes. It was enchanting and profound.
"Oh." Cheng Xiaonuo pretended not to care about it at all, but it was as if her heart was tightly grasped by someone, and even her breathing was painful.
Cheng Xiaonuo glanced at the red wine bottle on the table. Her two small, cold hands held onto the remaining liquid inside tightly and poured it into her goblet.
Looking at the light inside her body, Cheng Xiaonuo slowly swayed, but her mouth revealed a bitter smile.
"I'm Jin Chengyu."
"Cheng Xiaonuo!" Cheng Xiaonuo was very satisfied, she looked completely different from her soft and weak appearance of a little girl.
However, Cheng Xiaonuo's every action made Jin Chengyu have a face full of good impressions. After all, the girls surrounding him all wished that they could rush up to him one by one, or put on an act, that would make him unable to endure it any longer.
