Chapter 33: South City Villa (11)

When Han Xi Ping saw who it was, his trembling body straightened up at once. He even stood in front of Jiang Shi Yue and whispered, “These guys are thugs. They’re not good people. They’ve always wanted to steal our turf.”

Hearing one delinquent young man call another delinquent young man “not good people” felt pretty strange.

Lin Cheng Yi added in a low voice, “Sister Shi Yue, trust me. He really isn’t a good thing. He started off doing online livestreams. He had a lot of fans, then he got full of himself, and he built up this Li Family Gang.”

“A lot of fans?” Jiang Shi Yue repeated with interest. Her eyes darkened slightly, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

…

“Li Wen, what are you doing here?” Jiang Zi Chen asked with a cold face, his expression dark. “How did you know I was here?”

Liu Zi Yan’s heart thumped. He spoke weakly, “Um… I think it’s because I checked in on my friend circle…”

How many people dared to go to a haunted house?

This kind of thing that showed off how brave you were, you could post it forever and never get tired of it.

Li Wen had seen that haunted-house check-in while scrolling in the middle of the night too.

He didn’t even sleep. He quickly gathered his brothers and rushed over to join the fun.

And sure enough, it wasn’t a wasted trip.

“If I didn’t come, wouldn’t I miss the sight of you guys crying for your moms and dads?” Li Wen said with a nasty grin. He raised his eyebrows, looking downright creepy. As he spoke, he shook the DV in his hand. “Alright, thanks. I recorded it all.”

The words hit like a bolt from the blue.

Embarrassing yourself wasn’t scary. What was scary was embarrassing yourself in front of your mortal enemy, and having your mortal enemy record it.

Jiang Zi Chen’s face instantly turned sour, but before he could speak, Jiang Shi Yue stepped out from behind Han Xi Ping.

She said, “Recorded what? Let me see.”

Only then did Li Wen notice Jiang Shi Yue. The girl was slim, with a small face. Her brows and eyes were sweet and delicate. Her lashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up, like a lazy little cat.

The night was dim. In the hazy light and shadow, her features took on a soft warmth, making her look tiny and refined.

She seemed even prettier.

Li Wen’s eyes shifted. He drew out his voice, trying to sound serious, but it only made him look ridiculous. “I can tell from your eyes – you’re the one I want.”

Ugh…

The moment he said it, Jiang Zi Chen and the others all wanted to throw up.

Anyone who said corny pickup lines should be strangled first, no questions asked.

Chen Ze couldn’t take it anymore. He rolled his eyes. “I can tell from your eyes – she’s someone you’ll never get!”

Li Wen’s face couldn’t hold up after that. He waved an arm in a show of intimidation, telling Chen Ze to get lost.

But Jiang Shi Yue quietly pushed Chen Ze aside.

She lifted her lips in a smile, her voice still gentle. “I’m sorry, but I don’t like your type.”

If someone else said it, you’d know it was just a standard rejection.

But Jiang Shi Yue always spoke like she meant it.

Her tone was so sincere that it gave Li Wen a wrong impression – not that he wasn’t good enough, but that he just didn’t suit her.

Li Wen raised one eyebrow high and chuckled. “Then what type am I?”

“You’re not good-looking,” Jiang Shi Yue said, looking at him seriously, and saying it seriously too.

The moment her words fell, Jiang Zi Chen and the others burst into loud laughter.

When Li Wen flirted with young girls, when had he ever taken a loss like this? He glared, and one of his underlings stepped forward.

“You ungrateful little girl,” the underling cursed, spitting abuse, looking like he was about to throw hands.

Then you were probably about to be done for.

Jiang Zi Chen and the others took a step back in perfect sync.
