Chapter 2381: Chapter 1508: So Disappointing~

A professional film queen, an amateur film king, if they can’t even fool a little girl, they might as well hang themselves together out of passion.

Faced with Luo Li’er’s questioning, Jiang Chen felt no panic; his expression could only be described with two words.

Upright.

Sincere!

"What kind of secret do you think your sister and I could have?"

The Art of War by Sun Tzu says to advance by retreating.

Don’t easily fall into the whirlpool of self-verification.

Luo Li’er pursed her crimson lips and indeed said no more.

It’s obvious that she feels some distrust towards Jiang and Pei, but hasn’t found sufficient evidence.

Pei Yunxi’s actions at this time are most commendable.

She actually took the initiative to pour someone a glass of water.

Heh.

This made someone pleasantly surprised; just a dozen hours ago, at the same place, what kind of treatment did he receive?

However.

Being called in the middle of the night to mediate a family dispute would surely make the police lose their temper, but he got up immediately and rushed over, risking being caught by his girlfriend. Isn’t a glass of water a given?

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen took the glass and said, "Why don’t you go rest first, I’ll chat with her."

Pei Yunxi shook her head silently.

That’s fine.

It’s already late anyway.

Sooner or later, she might need to cooperate.

Jiang Chen took a sip of water and looked again at Luo Li’er, who was silently observing him and Pei Yunxi, "Sit and chat?"

Luo Li’er responded with a "Hmm."

In the early morning hours.

The world outside is silent.

It’s truly a leisurely moment.

It will surely become a memorable experience in the future.

"Your sister and Chen Jiang have actually known each other for a long time, officially got together last year."

Jiang Chen held the glass and began his story. Without prior rehearsal with Pei Yunxi, he had to improvise.

Such situations test the ability to adapt and the level of cooperation and tacit understanding.

"Chen Jiang? Didn’t my sister say he was a foreigner?"

Luo Li’er quickly spotted the loophole.

Pei Yunxi remained silent as gold.

Jiang Chen stayed calm.

"He’s Canadian. Chen Jiang is his Chinese name."

He was neither hurried nor slow, calm and poised, as if Chen Jiang were a real person and not just the rearrangement of his name.

"I always like to call him that. We are very good friends."

After speaking, he nodded, a psychological hint meant to subtly influence his target, increasing the credibility of his words.

"They’ve been together since last year? So long, and yet not a whisper? Aren’t the media experts at digging into privacy?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, charming and carefree, meeting Luo Li’er’s gaze fearlessly. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Most things in the world can be solved with money. The media is no exception. With enough power, you can make them see black as white, say a deer is a horse. Is shutting them up really all that hard?"

Another damn rhetorical question.

Such a strong CEO persona!

The opponent had always been friendly and approachable in front of her, which made Luo Li’er suddenly feel a bit unused to it. Still, it made her realize her senior’s current social status.

He’s no longer the lapdog she saw pulling at his ex-girlfriend on the library rooftop of East University.

"What about you guys? Why didn’t you say anything?"

"Why should I say anything?"

Jiang Chen shrugged, damn it! He was just too manly. The late-night fatigue seemed to feed his potential, making his eyes captivating.

"First, it’s your sister’s personal matter, and as a friend, I certainly don’t have the right to talk about it.

Second, what good would it do me to tell?"

"I mean, there’s no need to keep it from me."

Luo Li’er corrected, this girl certainly wouldn’t be fooled, her independent thinking was just too strong.

"Even if you intentionally don’t tell me, if you really are in love, there would be some clues, some traces, but throughout this time, I haven’t noticed anything unusual, just can’t feel that..."

"His Chinese name is Chen Jiang."

Jiang Chen reminded.

Luo Li’er didn’t care, "I can’t feel that guy’s presence at all. Saying my sister has a foreign boyfriend seems less reasonable than saying you are my sister’s boyfriend!"

Though spoken inadvertently, the listener was mindful.

Jiang Chen picked up the glass to hide, sneaking a glance at the female lead.

She looked down, nose observing heart, calm and composed.

Indeed.

Anyway, she temporarily only needed to play the background role in this scene, didn’t need to speak lines.

The same old saying.

If you want secrets kept, don’t do them.

Luo Li’er’s feelings are objective and very real.

If someone’s state changes, such as from single to falling into a love vortex, no matter how well disguised, there will certainly be giveaways.

Acting can have NG moments, can be post-edited.

But in life, it means there’s always a high-definition camera on you, what actor can avoid exposing the slightest flaw?

Even gods can’t.

Look.

Luo Li’er’s words might have been spontaneous, not an insinuation of some clandestine affair between her sister and someone. Yet her words reflected her subconscious.

In her subconscious, she had already sensed some intimacy between someone and her sister, which seemed beyond normal relationship to her.

Don’t provoke beautiful girls without enough skill.

Because in most cases, a woman’s intelligence is proportional to her looks.

"Don’t talk nonsense. Chen Jiang and I are friends, he even entrusted me to take care of your sister. What you’re saying insults all three of us."
