Zhang Shuishui saw a faint smile on the face of the man with the whiskers. He seed harmless, but in Zhang Shuishui’s eyes, he appeared so disgusting.
And just as Zhang Shuishui was staring at him, he was also staring at Zhang Shuishui, his smile growing increasingly radiant, like a warm breeze in March.
But the more he acted this way, the more obnoxious Zhang Shuishui found him.
After a mont, Zhang Shuishui took a deep breath and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Fang Yi smiled and replied, "I’ve heard others ntion that over there is Li Yinong, the heiress of the Li Family, a renowned family of dical Skill. You’re Zhang Shuishui, the heiress of the Zhang Family, another well-known family of dical Skill. There’s also an heiress from the Dong Family. Together, you are known as the ’Three Beauties of dical Skill,’ very famous and quite formidable."
Zhang Shuishui tried hard to glean sothing from Fang Yi’s expression, but unfortunately, she couldn’t discern anything.
It wasn’t flattery, nor was it obsequiousness; it seed genuinely like admiration.
No,
She mustn’t be deceived by him!
Zhang Shuishui suddenly snapped back to her senses and released Fang Yi’s arm, leaving him feeling the sudden loss of that softness.
Zhang Shuishui retreated to Li Yinong’s side, keeping her gaze on Fang Yi, and whispered, "This guy is not simple. Don’t be fooled by his smiling deanor; he’s very astute. I almost got tricked by him."
Zhang Shuishui felt like she had just walked on the edge of a cliff.
Initially, she thought she had the whole situation under control. She believed she could take advantage of him and that he would be easily caught.
But suddenly, Zhang Shuishui realized this guy likely wasn’t as amiable as he appeared on the surface. The more wicked and treacherous the person, the more disarmingly they smile, an age-old truth that never fails.
Li Yinong teased, "Weren’t you feeling so proud just now? I thought you were pretty smart, but it seems you got totally fooled."
Zhang Shuishui knew she was in the wrong and didn’t argue with Li Yinong. She said, "What now? Should we just let him go?"
Li Yinong said, "No, I still have questions for him... Also, this person seems quite unusual. He certainly doesn’t have any significant backing, yet he could imdiately tell that the 200-year-old wild ginseng was fake. That kind of insight is impressive; he could be a talent."
Zhang Shuishui understood.
Even she and Li Yinong were almost deceived, but this guy could see through the fake ginseng. This was sothing to ponder.
Moreover, Li Yinong was not the type to be conceited without substance. Her personality was quiet and modest, and she was brave enough to admit her shortcomings.
In contrast, Zhang Shuishui was a bit impulsive, but a single word could describe her.
Tsundere!
Zhang Shuishui contested with Li Yinong to prevent Li Yinong from gaining an advantage. After realizing Li Yinong’s thoughts, Zhang Shuishui imdiately understood.
"You’re not thinking of recruiting this talent, are you?" Zhang Shuishui imdiately saw through Li Yinong’s intentions and teased, "You better think it through. This is only our first eting and we don’t know him at all. You might end up counting money for him after falling into his trap."
Li Yinong gave a faint smile, "If you think it’s a trap, you can stand aside and watch. Your not competing with is already my greatest gratitude."
Zhang Shuishui said, "Sorry, I don’t need your gratitude."
In other words, I won’t let you have it.
