Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!
Chapter 97 The Gentle Male Supporting Character Fights and Snatches Away 4
[Premium green tea! Honey, did you hear that?]
This man's every word is a dig at his good friend's connections to climb to the top, while simultaneously brainwashing you into believing how reliable he is.
This isn't a piano prince, this is a scheming prince.
Jiang Li pretended to look down at her phone, but actually replied to it in her mind.
[Please say less, or I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing.]
Smile, he'll think you're cute.
She was indeed quite impressed with Pei Shiheng.
I originally thought this gentle second male lead was just good-tempered.
Now it seems that beneath this aloof and gentlemanly exterior lies a master of using others to do his dirty work.
Without that obsession, a man who knows how to provide emotional value...
When it comes to dating, she definitely won't neglect her stomach and sleep.
A low-key yet luxurious Maybach was parked in front of a private bar in a bustling area of City A.
This bar is owned by Lu Chengye's family.
There were many luxury cars parked at the entrance, and the people coming in and out were all extraordinary.
Pei Shiheng got out of the car first.
He went around to the passenger side and opened the car door for Jiang Li.
He reached out and blocked the top edge of the car door, waiting for her to get out.
When Jiang Li bent down, her heels touched the ground, and her body swayed slightly.
Pei Shiheng raised his hand and gently placed it on the outside of her arm.
They didn't actually hold hands, but that slight distance made the relationship feel even more ambiguous.
"Slow down."
His voice lowered.
Jiang Li looked up at him and said, "Thank you."
"Of course."
Pei Shiheng withdrew his hand.
The two walked into the bar side by side.
Jiang Li could feel the gazes of the receptionist and waiters fixed on them.
Pei Shiheng stood out too much among this group of people.
A white shirt buttoned all the way up, black trousers that made her legs look long.
He walks with his shoulders and back straight, and even when he raises his hand to signal the waiter to lead the way, he displays good manners.
The private room is on the second floor.
The laughter and chatter inside stopped as soon as the door was pushed open.
All of Lu Chengye's friends were there.
Someone holding a wine glass glanced between Jiang Li and Pei Shiheng.
"Brother Pei? Why are you the one who brought the ginger pear?"
"Where is Young Master Lu?"
Jiang Li stood quietly beside Pei Shiheng.
She had been to this kind of event several times.
Everyone knows she is Lu Chengye's new girlfriend, and everyone knows she has been pursuing Lu Chengye for a long time.
So at this moment, their gazes held a hint of watching the spectacle.
Pei Shiheng's expression was calm, and his every move carried his usual gentleness.
He stepped aside and, with utmost gentlemanly courtesy, let Jiang Li go in first.
"Chengye had some urgent business to attend to and couldn't leave, so he asked me to bring her over first."
There's nothing wrong with that statement.
But when it falls into other people's ears, it takes on a different meaning.
The girlfriend was waiting at the school gate, but the boyfriend didn't show up, so she asked her best friend to pick him up.
Inside the private room, someone was laughing ambiguously.
"Young Master Lu is too carefree."
"Jiang Li, sit here. Brother Lu should be here soon."
A girl patted the seat next to her.
Jiang Li was about to go over,
Pei Shiheng, however, picked up a glass of ice water from the table first and placed it on the inside side.
"She's been out in the sun for a long time, it'll be cooler inside."
The tone was gentle, and the arrangement was natural.
The girl paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Brother Pei is so thoughtful."
After Jiang Li sat down, Pei Shiheng sat in a seat one seat away from her.
This distance is perfect.
Neither close nor distant.
The system was amazed.
He even planned out the seating arrangements, leaving one empty seat between each person.
It's convenient for handing you water, convenient for keeping an eye on you, and convenient for pretending to be innocent.
Jiang Li picked up the ice water and took a sip.
[Tongzi, your professional skills have improved rapidly lately.]
The main issue is that the green tea sample is too typical.
The music in the private room wasn't turned up too high.
A few people started talking about racing and recent gatherings.
Occasionally, someone would bring up Jiang Li, but Pei Shiheng would naturally deflect the conversation.
A dozen minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Young Master Lu is here!"
"Oh, Brother Lu finally decided to show up?"
Lu Chengye walked in.
He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and trousers today; he had broad shoulders and long legs.
His brows and eyes held an air of arrogance, while his face displayed a listless irritation.
Jiang Li looked up.
That face, which bore a five-point resemblance to Shen Yan, still made her chest ache.
This time, however, she didn't rush to greet him as she had done before.
Lu Chengye's gaze first fell on her, then he saw Pei Shiheng not far from her.
His brow furrowed slightly.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Li looked at him and said, "I'm fine."
Lu Chengye seemed oblivious to her coldness and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
"Sorry, I was delayed on the way."
There was some commotion in the private room.
"Young Master Lu, you've taken quite a while. You even had Brother Pei pick up your girlfriend."
Lu Chengye looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't stop walking.
Only then did everyone realize that there was a girl following behind him.
The yellow delivery uniform was very large and hung loosely on her.
The jeans she was wearing were faded from washing, the cuffs were covered in dust, and there was gauze on her ankle.
That pure yet stubborn face appeared noticeably pale in the light.
She stood behind Lu Chengye, clutching a plastic bag containing a medicine box.
The people in the private room were dressed elegantly, with watches, necklaces, and bags that were all at prices that ordinary students would rarely encounter.
Her entrance seemed particularly abrupt.
"Oh, Young Master Lu."
Someone leaned back on the sofa, their tone full of schadenfreude.
"Your lateness is quite amusing."
Another boy, holding a wine glass, glanced at Lin Xiaoman.
"Who's this? A new friend?"
"Jiang Li is still here, and you're already bringing the newcomer to make an appearance?"
Lu Chengye casually tugged at the collar of his black short-sleeved shirt, his eyes revealing the arrogance of a young master.
"Shut up, all of you, and stop joking around."
Lu Chengye turned to look at Jiang Li's calm reaction, his unease becoming more apparent.
He handed over the gift bag he was holding.
"This is for you."
The gift bag was from a high-end jewelry brand, and inside the box was a diamond bracelet.
Immediately, a commotion broke out in the private room.
"Young Master Lu is quite something, he can even make up for being late with a gift."
"Jiang Li, shouldn't we forgive him?"
"I looked at this one with my sister last time, it must have been a six-figure sum."
Jiang Li looked down at the bracelet.
She used to be happy to receive gifts; who doesn't like gifts from rich people?
She doesn't resent the rich.
But when this bracelet was placed in front of her today, Jiang Li's first thought was, does Lu Chengye know that she has been waiting for so long?
In his view, a sufficient gift could cover up the lateness and perfunctory attitude.
The system sneered in her mind.
[Honey, you spent a six-figure sum to pay for being late. That shows sincerity in spending the money, but not so much in the person.]
Jiang Li lowered her eyelashes and reached out to take the box.
"Thanks."
Seeing that she had accepted the gifts, Lu Chengye's brows finally relaxed a little.
They habitually use expensive gifts to fill in the details that are often overlooked.
He naturally assumed that as long as the woman accepted the gift, everything would be fine.
"If you like it, that's fine."
Lu Chengye turned his head and gave instructions to the few people around him who were waiting to watch the show.
"Her name is Lin Xiaoman. She's just a friend. She's also from University A."
"On my way to pick up Jiang Li today, I saw her fall while delivering takeout."
I happened to be passing by, and when I saw she was injured, I took her to the hospital for a checkup.
The boy's tone was clearly impatient.
She hadn't had dinner yet, and I was in a hurry to see you all.
I just brought her along.
P.S. (Here are some more beautiful photos of Pei Lvcha!)
