Chapter 956 Luo Xiaoxi’s Disdain (2)

A journalist kept asking, “Miss Han, are you dating Mr. Kang? If not, why would Mr. Kang set up a studio for you?”

“Well…” Han Ruoxi smiled awkwardly and looked at Kang Ruicheng for help.

Kang Ruicheng did not answer the journalist’s question. He just said, “Ruoxi and I have something to do. Please excuse us.”

The journalists, of course, were unwilling to let Kang Ruicheng and Han Ruoxi leave. So they followed behind and asked, “Miss Han, after coming back, will you really not act in TV shows or movies for the time being?”

Han Ruoxi did not answer their questions. Under Kang Ruicheng’s protection, she soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Witnessing the whole process, Su Jian’an only had one feeling.

Something unusual must be happening!

The strangest thing was that Kang Ruicheng actually asked Han Ruoxi to be his female companion.

Han Ruoxi had a dark history. Bringing her to such an occasion would definitely make Kang Ruicheng the subject of rumor mongers which should not be what Kang Ruicheng wanted.

Could Han Ruoxi be Kang Ruicheng’s temporary companion?

While Su Jian’an was thinking of this, someone snorted beside her.

She was too familiar with this tone. It was the typical “Luo Xiaoxi’s disdain”.

Su Jian’an followed the sound and looked over. It was indeed Luo Xiaoxi.

She looked at Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi in surprise and said, “You’ve come!”

“If I hadn’t come, I would have missed a good show.” Luo Xiaoxi looked at the place where Han Ruoxi left with contempt. “Focusing on charity and public benefit activities and making amends for the past? My foot! Bullshit!”

Su Jian’an was speechless.

Luo Xiaoxi kept complaining, “Her ten layers of foundation cannot cover up her ambition to return to the entertainment circle. She dares to talk about charity and public benefit. She is so shameless!”

Su Jian’an wanted to say something, but on second thought, she gave up. Let Xiaoxi rant on.

As expected, Luo Xiaoxi was not done yet. She continued as if she had seen through her tricks, “In the next three months, Han Ruoxi will take part in charity and public benefit activities. But news about her will frequently show on social media. Then after three months, there will be news that she had been offered a role. At that time, she will tell everyone that the role was too attractive and she had looked forward to cooperating with the director for a long time. It was really hard for her to refuse such a rare opportunity, blah, blah, blah…”

Su Jian’an couldn’t help laughing out loud and gave Luo Xiaoxi a thumbs-up.

Luo Xiaoxi snorted and flung her hair back. “These are all tricks. Only fools will believe her,” she said.

Su Jian’an nodded in agreement.

Han Ruoxi was once at the peak of her life and received the most beautiful flowers and the loudest applause. Obviously, that was the life she wanted.

How could she give up flowers and applause and turn to charity work?

Nobody knew what trouble she would cause in the future.

But, Su Jian’an was ready to welcome them.

Lu Boyan picked up his phone and walked out to call Mu Sijue. “Kang Ruicheng is here. How long will you need?” he asked.

Mu Sijue replied, “I’m downstairs.”

“I have bad news,” Lu Boyan said this so calmly that it did not sound like bad news at all, “Kang Ruicheng’s female companion is not Xu Youning.”

After a while, Mu Sijue smiled indifferently and said, “What a coincidence. My female companion is not Xu Youning either.”

Lu Boyan was stunned. “You brought a female companion?” he asked.

“Why not? You can bring your wife, but I’m not allowed to bring a girl?”

Mu Sijue said this in a casual tone as if bringing a female companion to attend such an occasion was the norm for him.

Lu Boyan did not say anything more. He hung up and went back to tell Su Jian’an that Mu Sijue came with a female companion.

“Really?” Su Jian’an felt a headache coming on, “it’s faster than I thought.”

“Your thought?” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Jian’an, “What were you thinking of?”

Su Jian’an coughed and said, “I just felt that after Youning left, Sijue will look for other women who are completely different from Youning. He wants to prove to us that it does not have to be Youning.”

“Boyan, believe what Jian’an said. She is always right about this kind of thing,” Luo Xiaoxi broke in.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Sijue appeared in the banquet hall with a girl.

It seemed that the girl was a little older than Xu Youning but still younger than Mu Sijue. She wore exquisite makeup and a fashionable dress and she seemed to have adopted the manners of a foreigner. She was completely different from Xu Youning.

Even Lu Boyan did not know what was the relationship between this girl and Mu Sijue.

However, if Xu Youning were there, she would definitely have recognized that it was Yang Shanshan.

Yang Shanshan was the daughter of one of Mu Sijue’s elder relatives. She had been infatuated with Mu Sijue since she was a child.

Half a year ago, when Yang Shanshan found that Mu Sijue was dating Xu Youning, she went all out to exact revenge on Xu Youning.

At that time, Xu Youning’s grandma was still alive and was admitted to the hospital because of Yang Shanshan, which completely irritated Xu Youning. Since then, Xu Youning regarded her as an irreconcilable enemy.

Later, Mu Sijue intervened personally and ordered Yang Shanshan to go back to Country C and never appear in City G again.

Yang Shanshan didn’t show up in City G anymore. However, when she heard about what happened between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning, she came back to City A to look for Mu Sijue.

Without Xu Youning, the traitor, Mu Sijue no longer rejected her and was even willing to bring her as his companion to the charity dinner.

Therefore, Yang Shanshan was much more confident about her relationship with Mu Sijue, which could be seen from the way she walked.

As for Xu Youning, Mu Sijue would not let this undercover agent go. She didn’t need to worry about this!

Mu Sijue brought Yang Shanshan over to Lu Boyan.

Yang Shanshan knew that Mu Sijue didn’t like to talk, especially when it came to introducing people.

As a result, she waved to Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi enthusiastically. “Hello, I’m Yang Shanshan. Maybe Brother Sijue has mentioned me to you. We grew up together,” she said.

Yang Shanshan held Mu Sijue’s arm while talking, trying her best to prove how close they were.

What surprised Su Jian’an was that Mu Sijue was not disgusted with this at all.

Gosh, Mu Sijue was pushing himself too hard.

A mess of thoughts flashed through Su Jian’an’s mind that for a moment, she even forgot to respond to Yang Shanshan. After a short while, she finally smiled. But when she was about to speak, Luo Xiaoxi beat her to it.

“Oops, that’s awkward, Miss Yang. Brother Sijue has never mentioned you.”

Su Yicheng turned to glance at Luo Xiaoxi with a dangerous look. His eyes were asking, “What did you call Mu Sijue?”

Luo Xiaoxi patted Su Yicheng’s arm, indicating to him to calm down.

She just didn’t like Yang Shanshan so much.

Luo Xiaoxi was so direct that Yang Shanshan felt as if she had been slapped and her face felt like it was on fire. She looked at Mu Sijue, hoping he could help her, but only to find that Mu Sijue was in no mood for any chitchat.

He was looking around the banquet hall as if searching for something.

Only Mu Sijue knew that he was looking for Xu Youning.

Ah Jin had clearly told him that Xu Youning would be attending the dinner as Kang Ruicheng’s female companion, and she had gone out. Why did Han Ruoxi become Kang Ruicheng’s female companion?

Mu Sijue frowned and then sadly thought that his first reaction was worrying.

He was worried that something might happen to Xu Youning.

Lu Boyan saw through Mu Sijue’s thoughts at a glance. He gave Mu Sijue a look, hinting to him to go to a quiet place.

Going along with the current situation, Su Yicheng followed Lu Boyan out.

Judging from Luo Xiaoxi’s attitude, she would never give up until she satirized Yang Shanshan severely today.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate for him to stay here. He might affect Luo Xiaoxi’s performance.

Watching Mu Sijue walking further and further away, Yang Shanshan called out to him anxiously, “Brother Sijue!”

Mu Sijue turned around and replied indifferently, “I’ll be back soon.” Then, he left without looking back.

Unable to get Mu Sijue’s support, Yang Shanshan could only stand up for herself. She smiled at Luo Xiaoxi and said, “It doesn’t matter. We can still get to know each other.”

Luo Xiaoxi didn’t like Yang Shanshan and didn’t want to show her any respect at all.

However, Yang Shanshan came with Mu Sijue. Su Jian’an did not want the atmosphere to be so awkward, so she tugged Luo Xiaoxi’s dress discreetly.

Luo Xiaoxi smiled at Yang Shanshan reluctantly and said, “Hello, I’m Luo Xiaoxi.”

Su Jian’an also gave a gentle smile, saying, “Su Jian’an. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too,” Yang Shanshan replied smilingly.

Yang Shanshan could feel that Luo Xiaoxi did not welcome her.

Well, she did not like Luo Xiaoxi either!

The brighter Yang Shanshan smiled, the more scornful she felt.

No matter in City G or Country C, she was the apple of everyone’s eye. Who was Luo Xiaoxi to satirize her?

She would not have respected them if Mu Sijue hadn’t emphasized that Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng were his important friends!

Su Jian’an noticed all of Yang Shanshan’s subtle expressions.

Su Jian’an had wanted to chat with Yang Shanshan to relieve the embarrassment.

But now it seemed that there was no need to do that.

Su Jian’an said while maintaining a smile, “Miss Yang, Xiaoxi and I have something to do. Please excuse us.”

After they walked away, Luo Xiaoxi asked, “Jian’an, why did you draw me away? I thought you would take Yang Shanshan with us.”

Su Jian’an replied, “You don’t like her, and she doesn’t like us either. Why do we have to be together?”

Luo Xiaoxi was surprised. “Yang Shanshan doesn’t like us either?” she asked.

“Her feelings showed on her face. I couldn’t ignore it even if I wanted to,” Su Jian’an glanced around the banquet hall, “Where are Boyan and the others?”

“Leave them alone!” Luo Xiaoxi held Su Jian’an’s hand, “Let’s go find something to eat. I’m a little hungry.”

Pulled by Luo Xiaoxi, Su Jian’an soon forgot about Lu Boyan.

On the other side, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue ran into Kang Ruicheng when they were just a little distance away.

Seeing Mu Sijue, Kang Ruicheng was initially surprised. Soon, he snorted and said, “Mu Sijue, you’re really here.”

Mu Sijue sneered and responded, “Why, are you afraid?”
