Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

Chapter 99 The Gentle Male Supporting Character Fights and Snatches Away 6

Jiang Li's eyes showed little emotion.

As expected, he always does this.

As long as Lin Xiaoman sheds a couple of tears, he can pin all the blame on someone else.

In the original novel, Lu Chengye was repeatedly attracted by Lin Xiaoman's unyielding resilience.

Every time Lin Xiaoman hurts someone with her pride, Lu Chengye would always cover for her by saying that she was just straightforward and had no ill intentions.

Jiang Li suddenly felt it was quite boring.

She used to see Lu Chengye as a possible replacement for Shen Yan, which is why she was willing to give him chance after chance.

But Shen Yan would never embarrass her in front of others.

She would never defend others when she was wronged.

Pei Shiheng turned his head and glanced at Jiang Li.

The girl sat under the lamp, her shoulders and neck slender.

The white dress made her skin look even whiter, and her wrists were so slender that they could be easily held in one hand.

She didn't cry, nor did she complain.

But those eyes are too easy to soften one's heart.

Especially when she was quietly watching him, Pei Shiheng would have a terrible thought.

He wanted to take her away from Lu Chengye.

He wanted her to always have someone respond to her waiting, and he also wanted her to only accept gifts from him.

Pei Shiheng lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing as he suppressed his emotions.

When he looked up again, he was still the gentle and courteous Pei Shiheng.

Pei Shiheng's gaze calmly fell on Lin Xiaoman.

Those beautiful mixed-race eyes held an obvious gentleness.

This gentleness, however, made Lin Xiaoman feel extremely embarrassed for no reason.

"Ms. Lin, you are free to refuse help from others."

"That's about protecting your own self-esteem."

"But you don't need to treat girls who accept gifts from their boyfriends..."

It sounds like you're inferior, making you seem so superior.

Those who were watching the commotion earlier have now stopped expressing their excitement.

Pei Shiheng's words completely exposed Lin Xiaoman's little schemes.

Lin Xiaoman bit her bloodless lips, her eyes red-rimmed.

"I really didn't mean that."

Pei Shiheng nodded, his gaze frank.

"Since you didn't mean that."

"So now you realize that saying that was inappropriate?"

This rhetorical question is very polite, like an elder patiently guiding an ignorant child.

Lin Xiaoman was completely speechless.

Lu Chengye's expression darkened.

"Shi Heng, you're overthinking it."

Am I overthinking this?

Pei Shiheng looked up at him, his tone still gentle.

"Lu Chengye, Jiang Li is your girlfriend. She's been waiting for you for a long time today."

With just one sentence, the expressions on the faces of the people in the private room changed.

Everyone understood the key point.

Lu Chengye was late; Lu Chengye broke his promise.

Lu Chengye brought another girl with him.

"You can apologize for being late."

"You can explain why you helped others."

"But you can't bring someone here and let her be compared to others."

Jiang Li glanced at him.

Pei Shiheng did not look at her.

He knew very well that if he made his presence too obvious at this time, Lu Chengye would become suspicious.

So he suppressed all his emotions, leaving only the most reasonable reminders between friends.

[Honey, his rhetoric is really sophisticated.]

He's standing up for you while simultaneously portraying himself as a righteous friend.

This man can either steal someone's partner or remain a brother; the motto is: Sustainable Development.

Jiang Li nearly choked.

She lowered her head and bit the rim of the cup, suppressing a laugh.

Pei Shiheng's eyes fell on the slightly curved corners of her eyes out of the corner of his eye, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

She still had a hint of grievance in her eyes just now.

But now, a smile she couldn't hide was playing on her lips.

Pei Shiheng pressed his knuckles against the cup, and that dark, possessive desire in his heart surged up again.

He wanted her to stay like this forever.

I want her to show this relaxed and vibrant expression only in front of me.

This thought is not clean.

But he could hardly put it back.

Lu Chengye looked at Pei Shiheng sitting there and felt a strange feeling arise in his heart for the first time ever.

Pei Shiheng has had a good temper since he was a child.

He was a young nobleman who was raised by his family to be their heir.

He always valued appearances and would never easily embarrass any girl.

Even if they don't like someone, they will politely send them away.

Why did you do this in front of so many people today?

He stood up for Jiang Li several times in a row, even speaking so bluntly.

A man's intuition made Lu Chengye instinctively feel uncomfortable.

Before his suspicions could even grow...

Pei Shiheng tapped the cup lightly twice with his fingertips.

Pei Yubai raised his eyes slightly.

He and Pei Shiheng grew up together and knew his cousin's habits all too well.

The more gentle Pei Shiheng's smile, the more it indicated that someone was about to suffer misfortune.

Those two movements just now were to ask him for help.

Pei Yubai leaned back, his gaze sweeping over Lu Chengye, Lin Xiaoman, and Jiang Li, and clicked his tongue inwardly.

His brother is really something.

If he personally gets involved, it will easily arouse Lu Chengye's suspicion.

By having him stir things up, it became a way for friends to speak up for Jiang Li.

The job that came with trading a limited-edition sports car was definitely not that simple.

Remembering that the car keys were still in Pei Shiheng's hands,

Pei Yubai resignedly put down his wine glass and lazily yawned.

"I think my brother is right."

Pei Yubai is Pei Shiheng's cousin.

He loves to join in the fun and is known in the circle for being carefree and thoughtless.

The boy walked over casually and plopped down in the empty seat next to Pei Shiheng.

"Jiang Li is your girlfriend, Brother Ye, so she's also our friend."

"When our group was having a get-together, a stranger we had just met came over."

They're making sarcastic and insinuating remarks about our friends, can't we even say something in response?

Turning to look at Lin Xiaoman, Pei Yubai's young and flamboyant face wore a mischievous smile.

"It's your business if you have backbone."

"Don't use your integrity as a weapon, stabbing others at the drop of a hat."

It makes us look like bullies harassing the poor.

These words immediately livened up the atmosphere in the private room.

A girl next to him chimed in.

"Actually, I felt something was off earlier. Jiang Li didn't do anything to her."

"That's right, Brother Lu, you really did act a bit unfairly this time."

"If you want to help someone, you could at least send a message beforehand."

Making Jiang Li wait at the school gate for so long, anyone would be unhappy.

Several boys who were on good terms with Pei Yubai also chimed in.

Pei Yubai's witty remarks suppressed the budding suspicion.

Lu Chengye thought about it and agreed.

Pei Shiheng has always been loyal to his friends.

Jiang Li is now his girlfriend, so she's naturally included in this circle.

Lin Xiaoman's words just now were indeed easy to misunderstand, so it was reasonable for Pei Shiheng to stand up for his friend.

Even Pei Yubai couldn't stand it anymore, which is enough to show that Xiaoman really didn't handle this matter smoothly enough.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lu Chengye's impatience subsided considerably.

But he was born and used to being pampered.

Even if you know you've done something wrong, it's hard to back down in front of so many people.

What's more, Lin Xiaoman was standing behind him, her eyes red, looking like she was being attacked.

He let out a breath, suppressing his agitation.

"Alright, Xiaoman didn't mean that."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Li, his tone softening.

"Jiang Li, don't overthink it."
