Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Shengxiao Won’t Let You Off Once He Knows
 

He saw Rong Yan clutching Shen Siyuan’s hand, while Shen Siyuan’s hand was raised in midair, as if about to slap someone. Seeing the flush on both of their faces, he instantly felt headache.

How did these two come together?

He hurried over and said to Rong Yan with an apologetic smile, “Miss Rong, do me a favor and let go, will you?”

Rong Yan gave Cui Jiangjing the face he deserved and let go.

Once freed, Shen Siyuan immediately said, “Cui Xiaosi, where is Brother Shengxiao? I want to see him!”

She looked furious, and Cui Jiangjing didn’t even want to bother arguing with her. After apologizing to Rong Yan and promising to take her out to dinner another day, he forcefully dragged Shen Siyuan away.

Shen Siyuan was pulled by her wrist all the way out of the mall until she shook off his hand, “What are you doing!”

“That woman just now was about to hit me, didn’t you see?”

Cui Jiangjing dropped his usual playful demeanor and stared at her seriously, “I saw it. But what I saw was you about to slap someone.”

Shen Siyuan wanted to argue that even if she had hit someone, how could she be compared to that woman?

But before she could speak, Cui Jiangjing cut her off, “Siyuan, tell me, what exactly did you do in the suite upstairs at Lan Club that night? Why would Shengxiao call us so ruthlessly to come and take you away?”

Shen Siyuan, who was still fuming at Rong Yan, looked away in embarrassment when she heard his question, her complexion turning unsightly as she dodged, “Why do you ask? I don’t want to say.”

“Because I know what you did that night!” Cui Jiangjing’s words exploded in Shen Siyuan’s head like a thunderclap.

He knew…

He knew she had drugged someone, knew she had stripped naked and still got rejected…

Her face gradually turned pale.

Cui Jiangjing couldn’t be too blunt about it, since she was his best friend’s little sister. He softened his voice but remained serious, “Siyuan, you went that far and Shengxiao still showed no interest. Don’t you understand? You’re a smart girl, I hope you realize that soon.”

Shen Siyuan clenched her fist and pursed her lips, suddenly lifting her head with tears in her eyes, “I’m not smart, where am I smart? It’s because I’m not smart that I don’t understand where I’m inferior to an actress from the entertainment circle. What’s so great about that woman? In terms of looks, body, or family background, where do I lose to her? I’m just not convinced. Yes, I just want to bother that woman. What right does she have to talk back to me!”

She had reached her breaking point.

She had restrained herself the last time they met at the hot springs.

But jealousy was like a sword piercing her heart, especially when she saw the news with that man standing in front of another woman like a towering mountain, not even flinching when eggs were thrown at him.

She didn’t want to be smart; why did she have to be?

Cui Jiangjing understood the pain in her heart as well; after all, he had watched Shen Siyuan pining over Li Shengxiao without receiving any reciprocation for so long.

But Shengxiao had never made any promises from the start, nor had he done anything to mislead Siyuan. As a man, he knew right from wrong clearly.

Siyuan was the one in the wrong here.

“She is the woman Li Shengxiao cherishes in his heart!” Cui Jiangjing interrupted her, his words resounding firmly.

It was time for her to give up.

“Siyuan, as your brother, I advise you. Don’t do things like you did today again. If Shengxiao finds out, even if it’s for my sake, he won’t let you off!”
