Chapter 424: Chapter 413:
Xiao Jinli and Liang Qiming quickly got acquainted under the introduction of Li Jiatong.
After finding out Xiao Jinli’s address, Liang Qiming would just happen to bump into her while waiting around in the area.
“Miss Xiao, what a coincidence. Where are you off to?”
“Miss Xiao, last night I saw a beautiful piece of jewelry online, and I thought it would suit you perfectly. I wanted to buy it for you as a gift.”
…
Regarding Liang Qiming’s appearance, Xiao Jinli didn’t order anyone to drive him away, and the security personnel wouldn’t do so without being told. They were just a bit puzzled.
As for Liang Qiming’s “coincidental encounter,” Xiao Jinli politely nodded her head and then continued with her own business without engaging with him.
Liang Qiming followed her and said, “Miss Xiao, I’m new here, and I’m not familiar with this place. Can I ask you to be my tour guide?”
Xiao Jinli declined, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liang, I’m very busy and I’m afraid I don’t have time to be your tour guide. If you really need someone to guide you, our information desk has free tour guides, or perhaps you can ask Tongtong to be your guide.”
Liang Qiming said, “But Miss Xiao, you are a local of the Xiao Family Village and are surely more familiar with the local customs and practices, right?”
Xiao Jinli shook her head, saying, “Mr. Liang, the tour guides at our information desk are also locals of the Xiao Family Village. I’m sorry, Mr. Liang, I have urgent matters to attend to. I must go now.”
With that, Xiao Jinli hurriedly left.
These days, Liang Qiming’s occasional encounters with Xiao Jinli did not go unnoticed by everyone.
“Jinli, who is that guy?”
“Just a stranger.”
“Ha, a stranger? Is he trying to pester you? Should we drive him away?”
The people of the Xiao Family Village now have enough confidence to kick people out if they don’t like them.
Xiao Jinli waved her hand and said, “Not for now. I have other plans for him. Uncle, tell everyone not to make a fuss when he’s with me.”
Uncle Xiao was puzzled and asked, “Jinli, can you tell us what kind of person he is and if he has any intentions towards you?”
Xiao Jinli smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle. No matter if he’s a dragon or a tiger elsewhere, he has to crouch in front of me in the Xiao Family Village. Besides, I wouldn’t let outsiders bully me here.”
Uncle Xiao was still a little worried, “But Jinli, what exactly does he want to do?”
Xiao Jinli raised an eyebrow, “Uncle, don’t worry about him. Just sit back and enjoy the show.”
Uncle Xiao was puzzled, “Enjoy the show?”
Xiao Jinli’s smile was enigmatic.
Subsequently, Uncle Xiao laughed, “Alright, let’s enjoy the show. I’ll tell everyone to be cautious and not to disturb you.”
Hearing about the show, Uncle Xiao was especially interested!
Uncle Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked, “That young man was walking so close with you just now. People might think he’s either your lover or friend, Jinli. Are you sure it’s okay? Won’t Little Quan misunderstand?”
Xiao Jinli laughed, “Uncle, think about it like this! If Little Quan mistrusts me so easily and doesn’t believe me, then there’s no need for us to be lovers, right?”
Uncle Xiao suddenly understood and nodded, “That’s true! Well then, Jinli, go ahead and do your thing! Should we tell Little Quan?”
Xiao Jinli shook her head and said, “Uncle, what’s the difference between you telling everyone and telling him? Unless he doesn’t care about me at all!”
Uncle Xiao nodded, “Alright, I got it!”
Soon, the whole village, including the employees working at the Xiao Family Village, received a notification!
Many people were both interested and puzzled after reading the message.
