Chapter 23.2: I’m With You

Jiang Shi kept glancing over, and although the person was just sitting in the corner, Bian Yi still noticed.

This Jiang Shi behaved strangely on E Island last time.

Was there any connection between Guan Xi being arrested on E Island and these two?

Bian Yi narrowed his eyes and rubbed the juice glass in his hand.

After a moment, Bian Yi went to the dessert area and randomly picked a pastry, sitting across from Jiang Shi.

There were many people around Kou Li, but no one dared to get too close, especially when they noticed Kou Li’s gaze was always on Bian Yi. The people around him deliberately left a space around him to avoid blocking Kou Li’s line of sight and causing his displeasure.

Sure enough, when Bian Yi moved, Kou Li’s gaze also followed the movement until he saw the person sitting in the corner position, and then he withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with the people around him.

His actions made the people around him secretly shocked.

Before this, not many people knew that Bian Yi’s husband was Kou Li. As for Kou Li, he had never mentioned who his lover was, even if someone asked, he would not mention it at all.

This made many people think that Kou Li and his partner had a bad relationship, and even reached a critical point.

It wasn’t until today that they realized it was all just a cover-up, and that Kou Li didn’t want outsiders to know.

Some people guessed more and guessed that the fake Bian Yi was involved. The bad relationship was true, most likely because Kou Li suspected the fake Bian Yi’s identity, so he didn’t reveal anything to outsiders.

Jiang Shi was a bit uneasy for a while.

He had a bad book in his mind, wanting to destroy the relationship between Bian Yi and his husband. Now Bianyi was sitting across from him, and he felt guilty about facing him.

Bian Yi smiled at Jiang Shi with a polite and gentle expression, without any trace of vigilance or suspicion in his eyes. He asked, “I’ve been noticing you looking at me. Is there something you want to say to me?”

Jiang Shi held his cup with both hands, licked his lips, and said nervously, “I wanted to apologize to you.”

“Apologise?” Bian Yi lightly frowned in confusion and asked, “Why?”

Jiang Shi hesitated for two seconds and said, “Last time we had dinner on E Island, I…I kept looking at you. Please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean any harm. It’s just that…”

“It’s just that Teacher Bian is too beautiful,” Jiang Shi interrupted, lowering his head with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I might have caused you some trouble.”

Now Bian Yi was a little confused.

This kid didn’t look like he was lying, could it be that he was too suspicious?

Bian Yi replied, “It’s okay. You know, something unexpected happened that day, and I wasn’t in a good mood because of it.”

Jiang Shi raised his head again and felt relieved when he saw that Bian Yi was not really angry. Then he thought, yeah, if Bian Yi was really mad at him and didn’t want to talk to him, why would he come over to find him?

Jiang Shi quickly became happy and saw the desserts that Bian Yi brought over. He began to share with Bian Yi which dishes were the best and which drinks were the most delicious.

He was eager to feed Bian Yi, but was stopped by him.

Bian Yi said he had no appetite and couldn’t eat too much. Jiang Shi heard this and shared many tips for regulating the appetite.

His enthusiasm was like that of a child trying to get close to an elder.

Bian Yi took a sip of juice and changed the topic, “The nickname of your koi fish is quite interesting.”

He didn’t want Jiang Shi to bring him food and drinks, so he was naturally on guard. He wouldn’t dare to eat food from someone who might have some problems.

Jiang Shi didn’t notice this and his expression collapsed when he heard Bian Yi’s question. He muttered, “I’m not really a koi fish.”

The golden finger produced by the true koi carp are all healthy and pollution-free, unlike him who inexplicably came up with a bad book in his mind.

However, Jiang Shi was interested in listening and told a few funny stories about his past experiences with this nickname, and the two got along well for a while.

However, it wasn’t long before someone came to disturb them.

It was also a senior member of the entertainment industry whose name Jiang Shi knew well, and who was very popular and according to Jiang Jie, was able to be in the top tier of actors, but Jiang Shi didn’t know him.

Jiang Jie said that this person used to have a good relationship with Bian Yi.

But now, Jiang Shi watched as Bian Yi coldly and impolitely drove the person away, and he understood that Jiang Jie’s gossip could be updated.

Afterward, a few more people came, all of them very popular, and some even won awards for Best Actor or Actress, but Bian Yi didn’t show any mercy to any of them, refusing and driving them away with extremely blunt words, to the point where Jiang Shi could clearly see the unnatural expressions on their faces.

This was really embarrassing.

And Teacher Bian was so fierce.

But the same Teacher Bian who was so fierce to others had just been smiling and speaking gently to him.

Jiang Shi sat up straight, feeling a bit floaty, and he actually felt like he was more awesome than these real big-name stars!

The system read Jiang Shi’s thoughts and only wanted to sneer.

“You’re awesome? Bullshit, you’re just a fool!”

“Everyone knows how cold and cruel Bian Yi can be, yet this person still dares to think of themselves as special? Can’t you tell this is just flattery? It’s obvious that they’re being suspected, but this fool doesn’t seem to realize it and is even self-satisfied.

However, despite this, the system still doesn’t dare to speak up.

Obviously, it’s afraid that Bian Yi might really notice something.

Watching another famous artist leave with a black face, Jiang Shi’s face turned red.

He’s a little afraid to look at Bian Yi now, so he’s fanning himself with his hand and glancing around randomly.

In one of those glances, he saw Xu Rui.

Compared to Jiang Shi, Xu Rui was the one who was blatantly snubbed by Bianyi in their previous program.

It was perfectly normal for Xu Rui to attend this banquet.

His career is actually very successful. Although it was affected by the incident involving the fake Bian Yi, his works and reputation were good before that.

The main target was still Guan Xi.

It’s normal for people in that circle to misunderstand when Guan Xi never wore a wedding ring and had never been seen with a lover. Xu Rui also had no boyfriend or girlfriend, nor was he married, so it was normal for him to date Guan Xi in the context of the misunderstanding.

But saying it out loud was not good, even if Xu Rui knew nothing about it. The fact was that it was an extramarital affair, and the object of the affair was fake.

In any case, after this incident came out, many people were openly or secretly ridiculing him, including at this banquet, where some were discussing it in secret.

Bian Yi also saw Xu Rui.

He had no intention of going to Xu Rui, and Guan Xi’s position had not changed; he was still with Xu Rui.

Xu Rui was talented and capable and had a position in today’s entertainment industry. Wasn’t he respected before?

Looking at Xu Rui’s expression of hidden anger, it’s not hard to imagine that he will eventually vent his anger on a certain someone. This Xu Rui has no grace at all, but when considering his tragic ending in his previous life, it’s also hard not to feel sympathy for him.

One can only say that this is all retribution for Guan Xi.

Bian Yi watched as Xu Rui clinked glasses with a red-haired man and raised an eyebrow.

This red-haired man is a second-generation rich, and it must be said that he was the first target of Guan Xi’s conquest, Zhuo Feng.

Extravagant and unrestrained is a true portrayal of this young master.

He also ridiculed Xu Rui, but unlike Xu Rui, this young master didn’t lose anything even if he tangled with Guan Xi.

Of course, although he didn’t lose anything, there was still some anger toward Guan Xi deep down in his heart.

As Xu Rui listened to the red-haired man’s mocking laughter in his ears, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at him discreetly.

Zhuo Feng noticed and put his arm around Xu Rui’s shoulder, and the two of them went to a place where no one else was.
