Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 13: Bai Yueguang’s Stand-In (13)

What does Shen Liao an by this?

Does he just have too much money with nowhere to spend it? Why is it that everything Xu Guang is interested in, Shen Liao also wants?

The place had fallen into complete silence.

Everyone was speculating about what was really happening between them, a business partner nearby even asked Xu Guang.

"Did you sohow offend President Shen?"

Xu Guang was completely baffled.

"How would I know? It shouldn’t be the case."

He glanced at Jiang Lai beside him, and suddenly, instinctively felt that perhaps Shen Liao’s hostility toward him had sothing to do with her.

How could that be?

He had looked into Jiang Lai’s background too; she’s just a fairly pretty woman from a very, very average family. How could she possibly make Shen Liao spend so much money opposing him?

Could it be he really offended him sohow recently?

Could it be about that piece of land next to Xuhui?

But wasn’t that sothing Shen Liao discarded himself!

Until the auction ended, Xu Guang hadn’t acquired a single item.

Later, he realized he was being targeted, so after it ended, he left directly with Jiang Lai. In the car on the way back, Xu Guang tentatively asked a question.

"You really don’t know Shen Liao?"

Jiang Lai was looking at the neon lights outside the window, calmly denying it.

"No, I don’t know him."

"Tsk... well, that’s true. That President Shen isn’t simple."

He wouldn’t casually take an interest in other won.

Jiang Lai seed to be in a good mood, smiling slightly along the way, which made Xu Guang, who was driving, unable to help but keep turning his head to look at her.

At the doorstep of the villa, Xu Guang extended another invitation.

"Next week there’s a company internal gathering, why don’t you co over? I can introduce you to so people from different departnts."

Jiang Lai didn’t imdiately agree but didn’t outright refuse, rely saying she might have other work commitnts next week.

Before getting out of the car, Xu Guang smiled at Jiang Lai, a smile that made Little Buding couldn’t help but comnt.

"In the car, he looked like he wished he could take an eyeball out and stick it onto his temple, and look at that smile just now, his porcelain veneers are done quite well."

Jiang Lai humd a tune as she took off her high heels, with a hint of tipsy delight, she wandered up the stairs.

"Aren’t you going to hook up with Shen Liao anymore?"

"Pah, what do you an by ’hook up’."

"Alright then, aren’t you going to seduce Shen Liao tonight?"

"Could you please shut your mouth?"

She’s tired tonight, taking a day to rest.

After all, trying to hook up with Shen Liao is exhausting work, more tiring than a day of carrying bricks at a construction site, even a body of iron can’t take this kind of strain.

After washing up, Jiang Lai didn’t even dry her hair before she fell asleep on her bed.

In the second half of the night, at one thirty in the morning.

The docunts on the desk had been flipped through three tis over, Shen Liao almost morized every set of numbers, his gaze under the glasses frequently glancing towards the door of the room.

This ti he was a bit irritated, annoyed at why the room’s soundproofing was so good.

He looked at his watch, it was almost two in the morning.

Was she not coming today?

Wasn’t she usually lying in bed waiting for him to co back early?

The banquet had ended a long ti ago, he had indeed seen Jiang Lai being brought back by Xu Guang with his own eyes just now, it had been so long, what was that woman doing?

Shen Liao frowned, took off his glasses, and lay on the bed to sleep.

It’s rare to have a peaceful night; Jiang Lai not coming was perfect, so he didn’t have to endure her breathing all night.

Before eting Jiang Lai, Shen Liao had always slept alone, no lights, no scent, no sounds, so his sleeping quarters were always perfectly soundproofed, the air inside was clean, and the light was dim.

But that woman Jiang Lai, slept with a tiny night lamp on, her whole body exuding a faint fragrance, and had poor sleeping habits at night. Shen Liao couldn’t even rember how long he had been losing sleep to the sound of her breathing.

He closed his eyes, the surrounding was silent, with the curtains drawn the room was pitch black, it was his most familiar sleeping environnt.

Ten minutes later, Shen Liao slowly opened his eyes.

That damned Jiang Lai, she better never appear in front of him again, never co crying to him again!

Twenty minutes later, Shen Liao sat up leaning against the bedside.

Could it be that woman got drunk and walked into the wrong room? That was a possibility, he rembered Jiang Lai’s low alcohol tolerance; that evening after drinking a glass, Shen Liao still vividly rembered her endearingly drunk manner, soft and sweet, her voice utterly charming...

His body grew increasingly warm.

The images in his mind becoming clearer.

Drunk Jiang Lai was especially obedient and compliant, not hitting or scolding him, just biting him a few tis then clingy crying against him.

Thinking of this, Shen Liao got up, put on an easily removable robe, and walked out of the room.

——

"Little Buding, what happened last night?"

"You were like a pancake."

"..."

"You were flipped over many tis."

"..."

If he ever dies, it will definitely be because of a sharp tongue getting him punched to death.

Downstairs, Jiang Lai saw Shen Liao sitting by the dining table having breakfast.

The man in a sleek, tailored gray suit, short hair crisp and neat, under which was an aristocratic, refined face, the gold-rimd glasses lending an extra touch of elegance, although behind those glasses his eyes had a faint eerie glimr.

Especially when his gaze landed on Jiang Lai.

Watching the man casually sipping his coffee, Jiang Lai sat down and stuffed a bun into her mouth.

"Shen Liao, did you co into my room last night?"

The man glanced at her, voice cold.

"No."

Seeing her expression, Shen Liao’s hand slightly tightened around his coffee cup.

Did this woman think the man last night was Xu Guang?

The expression that had slightly eased now tensed up again, exuding a faint killing intent.

"I heard, you publicly declared yesterday, that you don’t know ?"

Ti to settle accounts.

Shen Liao stared at her, his gaze assertive.

Jiang Lai laughed dryly, a faint hint of grievance on her face.

"Wasn’t it you who said, not to announce our relationship outside, what’s the problem? Am I not supposed to do that?"

The explosion of rage within Shen Liao was suddenly doused upon hearing this, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, extinguished in an instant.

Indeed.

That was indeed sothing he had said.

But back then, he considered her just a readily discardable substitute.
