Chapter 132 - 132 Meeting An Old Friend
132 Meeting An Old Friend
The three of them walked to the school gate. Chen Wei had been waiting there. When he saw Shi Mu coming too, his eyes lit up. He quickly came over and said respectfully, “Is the President coming with us? That’s really making me look good!”
Shi Mu sneered and grabbed his collar. He said angrily, “You’re the one who asked my sister to go to Nightless City with you?”
“Brother, I was wrong. I really don’t have any other intentions. I just admire Sister Man!” Chen Wei begged for mercy and turned to Shi Man as if asking for help. “Sister Man, please, explain to your brother quickly. I really don’t have any other intentions. I just want to invite you to play with me!”
Shi Mu glared at Chen Wei, determined to teach him a lesson.
Shi Man raised her hand and patted his wrist. “Brother, let him go. There’s no need. I promised him myself, and he didn’t force me to go.”
“Sister!” Shi Mu looked at Shi Man worriedly, but his hand obediently let go of his collar. “Don’t be deceived by him! This kid doesn’t look like a good person!”
“Big Brother, you’ve really wronged me.” Chen Wei defended himself aggrievedly.
Shi Mu immediately glared at him and scolded, “Shut up. It’s not your place to speak!”
Shi Man glanced at the car that had been parked by the roadside in the distance and calmly retracted her gaze. She smiled evilly and said, “Let’s go first. The tail will be anxious from waiting later.”
“What tail?” Shi Mu did not understand what she meant, but he still drove the car obediently to Shi Man’s side and personally opened the car door for her. After Shi Man got in, he glared at Chen Wei. “You better not let me seize the opportunity!”
Chen Wei hurriedly smiled and got into his car to lead the way.
Shi Mu drove personally and followed behind Chen Wei aggrievedly. He couldn’t help but look at his sister through the rearview mirror and complain, “Baby, you can tell me if you want to go to Nightless City to play. I definitely won’t reject you. Why agree to another boy?”
“Because I’m bored,” Shi Man replied honestly.
This city was too calm, so calm that she began to find it boring.
In her previous life, her life had always been thrilling and exciting. Every day was very fulfilling, but now that she could easily get first place in the cohort, her school life had completely lost meaning. If she didn’t find something exciting to do, she would probably want to run away from home and continue living the life of a mercenary.
Shi Mu did not expect his sister to easily agree to another boy’s invitation because of this reason. He was immediately angry at himself for being careless and not being able to take care of his sister’s feelings. He spent the entire journey blaming himself.
When the car arrived outside Nightless City, Shi Mu was still regretting as he opened the car door for Shi Man.
Chen Wei had been waiting at the entrance of Nightless City for a long time, but he did not dare to approach. He could only wait for them to walk over.
After Shi Man pulled Su Tang out of the car, she followed Chen Wei into the private room that had been prepared long ago. The originally noisy private room instantly became silent because of Shi Man’s arrival.
In the corner, a man in a purple suit who looked like a peacock heard the commotion and his eyes lit up. He swirled his wine glass and walked up to Shi Man obsequiously. After seeing her face clearly, he did not hide the surprise in his eyes and smiled in surprise. “Miss Shi, I haven’t seen you for a while. You seem to have become prettier.”
The person who spoke was none other than the man she had met at the black market, Jiang Sheng.
Shi Man did not expect to meet him here. She raised her eyebrows and smiled. “I haven’t seen you for a while, but your mouth is still as sweet.”
Seeing that the other party was actually willing to acknowledge him, Jiang Sheng tried his best to please her. “So Miss Shi still remembers me. I’m really too excited. I have to drink a few more glasses with Miss Shi today.”
“Okay.” Shi Man played along casually.
Shi Mu immediately objected angrily, “No! Who are you? How dare you drink with Manman?”
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment before he noticed Shi Mu, who had entered with him. An awkward expression flashed across his face before he regained his smile and said, “Since Miss Shi has agreed herself, Young Master Shi, what reason do you have to reject?”
Chen Wei was frightened. He knew that Jiang Sheng and Shi Man knew each other, but he did not expect Jiang Sheng to be so bold as to fight Shi Mu head-on. He quickly tried to smooth things over. “Everyone, sit down and talk slowly. Knowing that Brother Shi is coming, I specially ordered a few bottles of good wine. Do me the honor and try them. If you think they’re okay, I’ll get someone to add a few more bottles.”
Before Shi Mu could react, Shi Man led Su Tang to an empty seat and sat down.
The others in the private room immediately seemed to have seen something rare and surrounded her eagerly. Jiang Sheng quickly poured a glass of wine for Shi Man and said in a low voice, “Miss Shi, if you’re willing to drink with me, I won’t hesitate even if you kill me today.”
He could tell that Shi Man was different from before. He thought that his chance to marry into a rich family had come. How could he not try his best to please Shi Man?
