Chapter 204: The Girl Who Doesn’t Speak
“Ding, the host’s design has severed Huang Xiaolong’s opportunity, changing the plot. Reward: 2000 Villain Points.”
“Ding, Huang Xiaolong’s luck -2000, reward: 4000 Villain Points.”
Sitting on the sofa chatting with Shen Qingqiu, Jiang Che suddenly heard the system prompt in his ear.
Hearing the system prompt, Jiang Che was stunned for a moment. He glanced in Huang Xiaolong’s direction, but there was no sign of Wei Changming and others, only Huang Xiaolong standing there alone.
He didn’t expect Liu Lei to be somewhat useful. Jiang Che did not have high hopes for this matter, but Liu Lei directly gave him a surprise.
Since Liu Lei had driven everyone away, this banquet was destined to be unrelated to Huang Xiaolong.
Shortly, Old Master Bai Chunfeng descended the stairs. He walked to the center of the living room, looked around at the guests, and cupped his hands, his face full of smiles, “Welcome everyone to my birthday celebration.”
“Old Bai, you’re too kind. It’s our honor to attend your birthday.”
“Old Bai, although you are nearly seventy, your elegance remains.”
As soon as Bai Chunfeng finished speaking, a chorus of voices rose, each praising him.
Seeing the guests’ reactions, Bai Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction, his mood very pleasant. It was worth his lifelong effort in Linjiang City. This was what he deserved.
“Everyone, please be seated and relaxed.” As Bai Chunfeng’s voice fell, a group of chefs carrying dishes entered from outside the living room and began serving each table.
......
Jiang Che’s table had only Jiang Che, Shen Qingqiu, and Li Chengfeng.
Jiang Che, feeling somewhat bored, drank sullenly with Li Chengfeng. This was why he didn’t like attending such birthday banquets.
It was too dull. If not for Huang Xiaolong coming today, he wouldn’t have been interested in coming to such a place to mingle with a bunch of people. Wouldn’t it be better to spend time at home playing house with Ah Qing?
If Shen Qingqiu went to his place and found Ji Menglan at his villa, it would be chaos!
“Okay, then let’s go to my place.” Although she was a bit puzzled by Jiang Che’s strong reaction, Shen Qingqiu didn’t think much of it. She stepped on the gas pedal and headed straight to her Bihai Flower Villa.
Jiang Che thought to himself, ‘That was close! Almost got caught!’
Fortunately, he sobered up in time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to explain tonight. After all, he had some relationship with all of Shen Qingqiu’s junior sisters except Ji Qingwan...
......
The car drove smoothly on the road, and after more than half an hour, they arrived outside Shen Qingqiu’s villa.
After honking twice, the security guard at the gate saw that it was their young lady and let them in. After parking the Maserati, Shen Qingqiu helped the swaying Jiang Che into the villa’s living room.
In the living room, Ji Qingwan was leisurely watching TV on the sofa. Seeing Shen Qingqiu helping Jiang Che in from outside, a look of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
She knew Jiang Che, her senior sister’s fiancé. After all, it was thanks to the Great Restoration Pill he provided that she had successfully broken through to the Transformation realm.
However, Shen Qingqiu had never brought him home for the night before, so she was a bit curious.
“Why are you still up? Waiting for me?” Seeing Ji Qingwan on the sofa, Shen Qingqiu said somewhat helplessly.
Her junior sister had a peculiar habit of checking if she was home before going to bed every night, as if to confirm that she wouldn’t secretly leave her behind.
Ji Qingwan obediently nodded without saying a word, her expression unchanged.
“Go to bed, I’m going to sleep too.” Shen Qingqiu spoke softly, like coaxing a child.
She knew her junior sister’s personality well. After all these years, she had never heard her speak a single word.
If she hadn’t confirmed that Ji Qingwan’s vocal cords were undamaged, she would have thought her junior sister was mute.
Ji Qingwan nodded again, glanced at Shen Qingqiu, and then turned to go upstairs. Since Shen Qingqiu was back, she could go to bed with peace of mind.
