Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 322 - 295: As Expected, This Person Knows Li Shang
Once the two figures had completely disappeared, she couldn’t pretend any longer, and got out of the car immediately.
"What a lousy car, just sitting in it makes me feel sick."
Not caring whether anyone was around, she took a cigarette from her bag and lit it. After taking a few puffs, she finally felt her mood improve somewhat.
Although in today’s society, women smoking has become a relatively normal thing, it still catches the side glances of others.
Partly because her attire and makeup were so exquisite, it was obvious she wasn’t an ordinary person.
Clad in designer brands, even several passing people felt compelled to strike up a conversation. But as their gaze shifted and landed on the car beside her, they abandoned the idea.
Why would a wealthy person drive such a car?
Seems like everything she’s wearing and using is just a knockoff.
So there’s no need anymore.
Hong Jingxue indifferently pushed her sunglasses and, without exception, rolled her eyes at those people.
With her experiences in the entertainment industry, she could easily sense their intentions, understanding precisely what they were thinking.
Heh.
If you want to cozy up to a wealthy lady, at least see if you’re up to par first.
After blowing another puff of smoke, Hong Jingxue casually flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, extinguishing it. She thought of Wen Xu’s reactions earlier and still felt stifled.
How come she didn’t know from her previous investigations that Wen Xu had a girlfriend?
Noticing the phone ringing out of the corner of her eye, she answered impatiently, "What is it?"
"Sister Xue, the driver said we need to return the car quickly, otherwise he’ll report us to the police immediately."
It was Hong Jingxue’s assistant speaking.
The car they were using was actually ’borrowed’ from a real ride-share driver.
The intent was to create an opportunity for Hong Jingxue to spend time with Wen Xu up close.
Unexpectedly, they found out the other party had a girlfriend.
Already feeling annoyed, hearing this made her roll her eyes, wishing she could curse the other party.
"Are you new here?"
"Can’t you just pay him if he’s dissatisfied?"
Since reaching the top of the entertainment world, Hong Jingxue didn’t feel there was anything money couldn’t solve.
Especially involving such a lower rung individual.
"If he thinks a thousand isn’t enough, give him another thousand to shut him up."
When Hong Jingxue had initially borrowed the car, she agreed with the driver on a thousand yuan for a half-hour use of his car.
Not even twenty minutes had passed and the man had changed his mind.
His concern for the car was a pretense; he just wanted more money.
But for Hong Jingxue, it didn’t matter at all, since to her, even a drop in the ocean is an overstatement for such a small amount.
In this situation, she was more dissatisfied with her assistant’s handling of the matter.
Following her for so many years, she hadn’t learned a thing.
Thus, Hong Jingxue lost her temper with her.
"Alright, just solve it quickly and let him retrieve the car himself."
"Tell the driver to come pick me up quickly; this place is filthy and disgusting."
Just before hanging up, she suddenly asked, "By the way, why didn’t you tell me earlier that Wen Xu has a girlfriend?"
The person on the other end was momentarily stunned.
"Sister Xue, when I investigated before, I really didn’t know about this."
"I’ll look into it more closely."
Wen Xu was, after all, a public figure; while the information wasn’t particularly confidential, it wasn’t easy to come by either.
He rarely ventured out, and even private investigators couldn’t uncover much.
Hong Jingxue muttered under her breath, "Useless."
Her assistant’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that.
It had always been this way; no matter how much effort she put in, it seemed invisible to Hong Jingxue. And any slight dissatisfaction would lead to insults.
Though it made her deeply uncomfortable, she acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.
Hong Jingxue hung up the phone impatiently.
Not feeling there was anything wrong with her scolding.
It was because her assistant didn’t do her job well; such important information was missed, despite all the money she had been paid.
But, in reality, even if Wen Xu had a girlfriend, she wasn’t particularly afraid.
While Hong Jingxue admitted the woman in the passenger seat did have a certain beauty, so what?
She’s confident her allure is unmatched.
Especially when it comes to someone who appears so young and inexperienced.
A van slowly pulled up before her, and Hong Jingxue glanced again in the direction Wen Xu had left, leaving with a determined smile before getting into the car.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Yunchu and Wen Xu were weaving through the market.
Although it wasn’t very crowded at this time, and it wasn’t a weekday, the narrow alleys still posed a risk of running into someone.
With the stalls lining both sides, even avoiding people, it was still easy to bump into someone’s stand.
Wen Xu cautiously followed a bit behind and to the side.
Maintaining a distance that neither breached social comfort boundaries nor left Mu Yunchu at risk of bumping into things.
In such a noisy place, Mu Yunchu’s hearing was affected.
Slightly tilting her head, she asked Wen Xu, "Have you seen a stall selling exquisite pastries?"
Noticing her movement, Wen Xu instinctively bent down to listen, then began to look around upon hearing her words.
Even though he hadn’t spoken for a while, Mu Yunchu wasn’t worried.
Because she had done a divination before leaving that morning, predicting the stall owner would set up today, and they would meet without surprises.
Finally, after another five minutes of walking, Wen Xu’s pleased voice emerged: "Is it the stall of an old man with white hair?"
"Yes."
Mu Yunchu walked over just as two customers were leaving.
The elderly woman was putting away the money in the box and hadn’t even looked up yet when she started to greet them.
"What would you like?"
Wen Xu glanced at the pastries on the table, indeed elegant and appealing.
And judging by its evident good business, there were only three or four boxes left on the table.
The old woman, seeing no immediate response, looked up and was momentarily frozen upon seeing Mu Yunchu.
Then she said, "Oh, it’s you, young lady."
Mu Yunchu smiled.
"Ma’am, I’ll take whatever you have left on the table."
The old woman didn’t smile with joy, instead looking at Mu Yunchu with a complex expression.
"I wonder if you have time; I’d like to talk to you about Li Shang."
Old Woman: "..."
After Mu Yunchu finished speaking, her hearing sharpened again, and noticing the long pause, she was more certain of her suspicion.
As expected, this person knew Li Shang.
And having previously seen her near the shop, she was indeed sneaking a look at Li Shang.
