Chapter 545 Jealous, Can’t Wait to Court Death

The next day…

Yu Manxi had arranged to meet the person in charge of the private dessert shop. She originally thought that it would be the girl who answered the phone, but she didn’t expect it to be a man. He arranged to meet her in the store and even let her taste all the desserts suitable for a wedding banquet.

“Can you really make so many desserts on time? I need them fresh.” Yu Manxi sized up the shop. It was a small shop of around thirty square meters.

“Yes. We can sign a contract. If we can’t deliver the goods on time, we will pay ten times the compensation.”

“Okay.” After Yu Manxi decided on the type and number of desserts, she bought some black forest cupcakes and buns to bring back for Huai Sheng.

Huai Sheng had a long vacation every two weeks. Other than going up the mountain, he also went to the old residence. He had a good relationship with Yu Manxi, so she planned to buy some snacks and let him bring them to school.

“The buns are still being baked. Please wait a moment.”

“Is there any bread that can be stored for a longer period of time? I want the child to bring them to school, and he might not be able to finish it in a day or two…”

The man introduced a few things to her.

“Please give me one of each…” “Okay.”

“By the way, a girl answered my call last time. Why are you alone in the shop?”

“You’re talking about the boss. Recently, the willow catkins have started to flutter in the capital. Her skin isn’t very good, and she’s prone to allergies, so she doesn’t go out much.” While sending a message, the man seemed to be reporting his work as he packed Yu Manxi’s things. “The boss said that she’ll give you all these things. Thank you for taking care of our business.”

“This isn’t good.” Yu Manxi was stunned.

“It’s fine…”

After declining a few times, Yu Manxi left with her things. At this moment, there were indeed some parts in the capital that had willow catkins fluttering…

Her skin isn’t good, and she has allergies?

The young lady from the family in Lingnan seemed to use this reason too. It can’t be that coincidental, right? There are a lot of people with allergies this season…

But when she thought about the grudge between the family in Lingnan and the Chuanbei Jing family, she naturally wouldn’t inform Jing Hanchuan about this news. She was worried that it would cause trouble.

After signing the contract, Yu Manxi didn’t think much about it and called Fu Sinian directly. They had arranged to go to Qiao Xiyan’s hotel in the evening to send him a wedding invitation.

The Qiao family and the Fu family had a good relationship to begin with. Coupled with Song Fengwan and Fu Chen’s relationship, they had to make a trip personally after discussing it.

Qiao Xiyan was carving stones in his room. When he received the call, Fu Sinian and his wife had already arrived at the hotel and would soon be at the door of his room. He frowned slightly and tidied up the table covered in stone dust.

After Tang Jingci returned to her room yesterday, if she wasn’t eating, she wouldn’t see him. Song Fengwan had gone to volunteer during the day, while she had buried her head in her blanket and refused to communicate with him.

Qiao Xiyan thought that it might be the aftereffect of her blindness. She felt uncomfortable, so he didn’t disturb her.

Hearing the knock on the door, he got up to open the door. Fu Sinian and his wife were standing at the door.

“Mr. Qiao, sorry to disturb you,” Fu Sinian said directly. “I’m sorry for having you come personally. Please come in.” Qiao Xiyan moved back to let them in.

The room was neat and tidy, but there was a row of cold-looking carving knives on the table.

Qiao Xiyan wasn’t talkative to begin with, so the two of them didn’t stay long. They quickly left after delivering the invitation card. When Yu Manxi came out, she still had lingering fears…

“Are he and Wanwan really cousins? Why is his personality completely different? Who would place so many dangerous items in a room? It’s too scary.”

“Yuxiu and I are also cousins. What do you think…”

Yu Manxi had interacted with Fu Yuxiu a few times. He was still a little childish and completely different from Fu Sinian.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiyan’s rough fingers kept rubbing the invitation card thoughtfully.

She should have left the day after Duan Linbai’s event ended. She hasn’t even changed her plane ticket. But her eyes haven’t recovered yet, and we can’t keep dragging this matter…

He hesitated before making an overseas call.

***

The next day, the last day of the Eye Appreciation event…

Duan Linbai was in the media industry to begin with, and he was already quite popular online. Coupled with the fact that he had been doing public service for the past few months and even invited many A-list celebrities, this event gained everyone’s attention.

The event started at 10 a.m, and the media arrived before daybreak, trying to occupy the best positions.

There were also many fan clubs of popular celebrities waving banners along the path. This event was equivalent to doing public service, and no one wanted to fall behind others.

Duan Linbai was the organizer and came early. The moment he appeared, he instantly attracted many cameras. From the place where he got out of his car to the venue, there was a hundred-meter-long red carpet with a signature board at the end.

Today, he wasn’t wearing his usual high-profile clothes but instead a black and white suit. He didn’t style any special hairstyle either. The spring sun was warm and gentle, and his black hair fluttered, making him look even more elegant and unrestrained…

He was lean, fair, and thin. He looked like peach blossoms in spring, and he was even more eye-catching than the male celebrities dressed up today.

Just as everyone aimed their cameras at him, he turned around and reached out his hand. His actions seemed exceptionally careful and gentle.

A fair and tender hand landed on his palm, and then a woman in a woman’s suit walked out. Her wavy hair was unruly, and she was wearing sunglasses. Her facial features couldn’t be seen clearly, but her lips were very thin, and she looked…

… a little indifferent and cold.

“Miss Tang, slow down. There’s a red carpet in front. There are no steps.” Duan Linbai didn’t expect Tang Jingci to suddenly say that she wanted to come to the event.

He definitely had to pick her up personally. Besides, he also wanted to use this opportunity to announce his cooperation with Master Joe.

“Thank you.” Tang Jingci’s fingers moved up slightly and gently rested on his forearm. It looked intimate, but in fact, the two of them were trying their best to avoid arousing suspicion.

Outsiders naturally couldn’t tell that Tang Jingci was blind. They only saw that Duan Linbai was extremely gentle to her.

“I don’t think I’ve seen this person before. She looks beautiful and has a good figure. Is she Young Master Duan’s new lover?” Not to mention the capital, but even the entire country thought that Duan Linbai was a frivolous young master.

“I’m not sure, but it’s a charity event today. Why is she wearing sunglasses to show off?” “I’ve never seen Young Master Duan take care of someone so carefully. There must be something between the two of them!”

The media were discussing among themselves, but Duan Linbai didn’t care about everyone’s heated discussions at all.

Anyway, he would announce his intention to cooperate with Joe later. At that time, everyone would naturally know that this person was his money tree and God of Fortune. They would definitely want to serve her. Song Fengwan was in the inner area. Just as she finished introducing the event arrangements, she saw Qiao Xiyan, who had arrived early, staring outside. “Cousin…” Song Fengwan walked over. “Are you waiting for Big Sister Tang?” “No.”

Qiao Xiyan was holding an event brochure in his hand, his eyes as deep as the sea. He had originally come here today to settle scores with He Xi, but he didn’t expect Tang Jingci to come too.

Since she couldn’t see, she shouldn’t be running around.

The most ridiculous thing was that Qiao Xiyan suggested, “I’m going too. If you really want to go, shall we go together?”

Unexpectedly, Tang Jingci immediately declined. “No need. I have an appointment with Young Master Duan. He’ll pick me up.”

“Duan Linbai? With his temperament, can he take good care of you?” “It’s fine. He’s quite nice.”

While he was thinking to himself, he caught sight of Tang Jingci appearing in the venue holding Duan Linbai’s arm, which instantly attracted the attention of many people. “Big Sister Tang is here!” Song Fengwan smiled. “Cousin, I have to go get busy. Sit by yourself for a while.”

Qiao Xiyan nodded.

“Is she Young Master Duan’s girlfriend? I’ve often seen the two of them go out together recently. Even when I went to the school to do charity last time, this girl followed him. Young Master Duan is really taking good care of her.”

“Probably. She looks good. I wonder which family’s young lady she is.”

“These beautiful people are so eye-catching standing together. They’re really compatible.”

Everyone naturally praised and flattered Duan Linbai.

Qiao Xiyan tightened his grip on the brochure in his hand. He exerted too much force and tore the brochure.

He turned around and walked straight to the restroom.

The actions of these three people completely fell into the eyes of He Xi, who was not far away. She narrowed her eyes and watched as Duan Linbai brought Tang Jingci to a seat in the corner and turned around to take care of the other guests… She tightened her grip on her bag.

Song Fengwan had been introducing the contents of the event to the people attending. Her mouth was dry, and she was about to drink some water during her break when she saw from the corner of her eye that He Xi was actually walking straight toward Tang Jingci.

The event hasn’t even started. He Xi is really impatient…

Tang Jingci was sitting on a chair with Duan Linbai’s assistant, Little Jiang, standing beside her. He blocked all the people who came to talk to her.

She was wearing sunglasses and was as motionless and quiet as a porcelain doll. Little did people know that she could see everything happening in the venue clearly.

When she saw He Xi approaching, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

She’s courting death.
