The "good buddy" glanced at Su Jiyu and, with a wink and a nudge, smiled at Su Jiyu, "Whatâs this, Young Master Su? Youâve taken a liking to this comrade?"
Su Jiyu quickly waved his hands, feigning righteousness, and laughed, "Not at all, just asking for fun."
Would his "good buddy" really believe him? Everyone was from the same social circle; how could he not understand him?
But his "good buddy" didnât call him out, instead he said, "Seems like she came with the Jiang girl."
"Just now, that pretty chick was even having a conversation with Jiang Fengqi."
After pausing briefly, the "good buddy" continued, "With my years of experience in judging women, the comradeâs temperament just now suggests sheâs probably a university student."
"The beauties of poetry and literature reflected in her noble air, pure and composed..."
After heaping on the praise, the "good buddy" analyzed, "Think about it, isnât the Jiang girl studying at Beijing University? Jiang Fengqi is also a graduate from there."
"And today, itâs Jiang Fengqiâs farewell party... I reckon that this comrade is a student from Beijing University, here to see Jiang Fengqi off."
"Beijing University student?" Su Jiyu repeated his "good buddyâs" words, his eyes slightly flickering as he thought to himself, If sheâs from Beijing University, doesnât that mean she doesnât have much of a background?
"Iâve got the picture," Su Jiyu patted his "good buddyâs" shoulder and said, "Thanks, bro!"
"Donât mention it, what are we if not brothers? Helping you, Young Master Su, with your troubles is my honor!" the "good buddy" said with a beaming smile.
"Not at all." Su Jiyu smiled smugly and didnât bother to refute.
After Su Jiyu had left, a friend next to the "good buddy," watching Su Jiyuâs retreating figure, sighed lightly and said, "Having connections sure is great. Young Master Su dares to go after anyone he takes a fancy to, tsk tsk tsk."
"Just you wait, with his kind of brains, whatever others say goes. If he runs into a beauty, he doesnât even bother to do his own investigation and dares to go straight to flirting," the "good buddy" said with a laugh.
"Hehe, sooner or later heâs going to get sorted out."
"Sorted out?" his friend asked, "With his aunt Su Susu married to Huo Zhongcheng, can anyone really take him down?"
"Unless he crosses Huo Shiqian!" his friend said, shaking his head.
"Who knows?" the "good buddy" laughed heartily and said, "I heard Huo Shiqianâs little wife is a student from Beijing University?"
"What if one day he messes with the wrong person and she turns out to be Huo Shiqianâs little wife? Hehe, that would be quite the show to watch!"
"Hahaha." The two of them laughed as they spoke, and exchanged knowing looks.
Elsewhere, Jiang Shuqin went to ask Ou Cong to clarify Liu Yingyingâs situation and ran back to look for Xia Chuyi but couldnât find her.
"Where could Chuyi be?" Jiang Shuqin made a round and finally found Xia Chuyi at the back door.
"Chuyi, what are you doing here?" Jiang Shuqin hurried over and said to Xia Chuyi, "Iâm telling you, I found out about Liu Yingyingâs situation, she is..."
Before she could finish, Xia Chuyi raised a finger, gesturing for her to look outside.
"What is it?" Jiang Shuqin stopped talking and followed the direction of Xia Chuyiâs finger.
"Song Zhicheng? Whatâs he doing here?" Jiang Suqin was surprised to see Song Zhicheng standing not far from the back door.
