Chapter 778: Lever

Although he didn’t understand much about women’s belongings, the Cheongsam Nan Jiaojiao was wearing wasn’t of those top luxury brands, but he probably recognized the fabric, and this particular piece alone could cost hundreds of thousands.

He had not looked closely before.

And with the tone that Nan Jiaojiao used, as if it were a matter of course, it occurred to him upon further thought that every time he saw her, she was wearing a different outfit and never repeated any.

Where did she get the money?

Ye Jun immediately thought of the owner of Feisheng.

It seemed he needed to find a good time to ask what kind of person this friend of Nan Jiaojiao was.

As a daughter of the Ye Family, it wasn’t anyone else’s place to make arrangements.

Right now was clearly not the time to talk.

He personally took Nan Jiaojiao to his room, telling her on the way that he would wait by the door for her, but just as they went up the stairs, Ye Jun received several calls.

After listening for a while, Nan Jiaojiao considerately said, “You go ahead, I’ll be down once I’m done, and I won’t wander off.”

Ye Jun’s face was full of apologies, “There are a few important guests to attend to, I’ll leave someone with you, and once you’re done, he will bring you directly to me.”

“Friend?”

“Not exactly, just business acquaintances, somewhat older.”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “Then no need, it makes me uncomfortable.”

Ye Jun did not insist and found a hairdryer for her before leaving and closing the door behind him.

Nan Jiaojiao’s sleeves were just damp, and the rabbit fur decoration at the cuffs felt uncomfortably clinging.

She pulled her hand back inside the sleeve, stretched the wet part, and blew it dry under the blower.

After touching it a few times and it was nearly dry, she pulled her hand out of the sleeve, unplugged the hairdryer, and set it aside.

She opened the door to find Shen Shichu standing there.

“Are you done?” He had been facing away but turned around when he heard the door open.

He faced her with a gentle, light smile.

It was utterly nauseating.

Nan Jiaojiao pretended not to see and walked to the other side, as the path was not blocked.

Shen Shichu caught up with her, “Jiaojiao, not even a greeting when you see me?”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at him sidelong, “Am I that familiar with you?”

“We ought to be, after all, we were once together, and now we are practically family.”

If it weren’t for Nan Jiaojiao’s guard towards him and her steady gait, she would have truly been disgusted enough to fall down the stairs.

How shameless would one have to be to reach such a pinnacle of audacity and still speak such words without changing face?

Nan Jiaojiao stopped walking and stood on the stairs where anyone could see her, her lips curling into a faint, mocking smile, almost laughing.

“Shen Shichu, I need to remind you, we were once engaged, you slept with my sister, that counts as infidelity.

Now that you’re married, you should avoid me.

You must know how much you disgust me.

What kind of foul face hides behind that skin of yours, don’t think I don’t know what you’re pretending to be.”

Shen Shichu’s smile faltered, nearly losing his composure.

Though the main villa had no guests coming in, there were servants going in and out.

She did not hold back her words, and her voice was not low; Shen Shichu, with keen eyes, noticed several people looking their way.

He lowered his voice, “You’re still so strong-willed.

You can’t learn to be polite.

With that temper, who would want you in the future?”

Nan Jiaojiao despised it when others spoke to her in a manner that suggested ‘I’m only doing this for your good’ and took it for granted.

It made her want to tear apart Shen Shichu’s cover even more.

“Do you need to worry about that?”

Nan Jiaojiao snorted coldly, “What a thing.”

“Nan Jiaojiao.”

Shen Shichu called out to her, his tone no longer as easy as before, “Be a bit more polite to me, perhaps, I hold your fatal weakness in my hand.”
