Chapter 283: Leng Ruoli Gets Jealous

Jiang Muye's dark eyes were fixed firmly on the photo on the screen.

The photo that had been displayed was a kissing photo.

And the main subject in it was Xia Xiran, and the boy locked in an inseparable kiss with Xia Xiran had a face identical to Jiang Muye's.

But Jiang Muye knew very well that this was not him.

He had never kissed Xia Xiran at all, so how could these photos exist?

"It's not me," Jiang Muye explained to Leng Ruoli with certainty.

Originally, Jiang Muye had thought he would have to waste a lot of words on Leng Ruoli. After all, he really did like Leng Ruoli very much, and Leng Ruoli didn't fully understand his past.

Girls were the most jealous, and the most sensitive about exes.

If Leng Ruoli really believed it, he would be hard-pressed to defend himself.

While Jiang Muye was nervous, Leng Ruoli gazed at him with burning eyes and said, "I believe you."

Jiang Muye was astonished.

Leng Ruoli said seriously, "This is obviously a trap, deliberately meant to drive a wedge between us. If I believed it, I'd be a complete fool. My only worry is whether others will believe you."

Jiang Muye could already feel the doubtful and disdainful looks directed at him from the people around them.

How many people were suspicious, and how many had already concluded that the person in the photo was him?

Jiang Muye said to Leng Ruoli calmly, "I don't care."

He really didn't care.

After all, apart from Leng Ruoli, who else could make him pay attention?

After hearing Jiang Muye's carefree words, Leng Ruoli's lips curved up. She tightly clasped Jiang Muye's fingers, then stepped forward. Under Jiang Muye's surprised gaze, she picked up the microphone: "Everyone, the boy here is not my boyfriend."

However, Leng Ruoli's words were met with shaking heads from the other girls.

"Ruoli, can you stop being so stubborn? Anyone with eyes can see what's going on."

"Don't be PUA'd! He's just deceiving your feelings. Someone obviously couldn't stand seeing you being deceived and is now exposing his true colors!"

"Exactly, how many boys these days can be trusted? Especially handsome ones—even less trustworthy!"

Many people were simply eager to see the world in chaos. After all, Leng Ruoli had a good background and was beautiful, and on top of that, she actually had such an outstanding boyfriend. Who wouldn't be jealous of Leng Ruoli now?

Now that Jiang Muye kissing another girl had been exposed, quite a few people naturally couldn't stand to see things go well and wanted to kick him while he was down.

They had expected Leng Ruoli to be heartbroken, but to their surprise, Leng Ruoli gave a disdainful laugh: "All of you keep saying you have evidence about my boyfriend—do you? Is the upbringing of all of you just about fabricating things out of thin air without any evidence?"

That single sentence left the few young ladies who had just been stirring up trouble somewhat embarrassed.

And Jiang Muye stepped forward. His loud voice rang out and shook the surroundings into silence: "Everyone is so certain—could it be that one of you is the mastermind behind the scenes who deliberately put up the photo?"

The young ladies' eyes darted around, and they shook their heads in panic.

Jiang Muye lazily raised his eyes and said, "As everyone can see, there was just a Yu Xi who looked identical to me. It's hard for ordinary people to tell real from fake. How can you be sure the person in the photo isn't Yu Xi, but me?"

His words made everyone suddenly remember Yu Xi, who had just been chased away.

Judging from Yu Xi's perverted behavior just now—someone who could casually kiss and hug girls—it was most likely him!

Maybe someone had come to expose Yu Xi's true colors, and Jiang Muye had become the scapegoat!

"Someone is slandering me with baseless claims. I could very well send a lawyer's letter and settle all accounts at once! Of course, whoever is scheming behind the scenes, I will absolutely not let them off easily either!" Jiang Muye's voice was resolute and forceful, not backing down in the slightest.

Everyone gasped.

They had just wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but who wanted to provoke the Jiang Corporation, or even the Chen Group behind Jiang Muye, not to mention the massive Leng Group behind Leng Ruoli!

Those who had been making snide remarks just now all started to laugh awkwardly and smooth things over: "We misunderstood. It's fine, this was definitely Yu Xi! He deserved it!"

"Exactly, good thing he was chased away. From now on, everyone should be on guard against this Yu Xi. He really did hook up with quite a few girls!"

"He even claimed Young Master Jiang was his substitute. I think Yu Xi is the real impostor. How could Yu Xi possibly compare to Young Master Jiang!"

For a time, everyone was fawning over Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye raised his chin arrogantly. When the staff came up to apologize, his gaze was cold: "Hurry up and turn off the photo."

The staff member panicked and immediately complied.

Because of this incident, the official director of the Luo Fanter Banquet came personally to apologize, bowing and scraping to Jiang Muye: "We're sorry. Due to our staff's negligence, such a mistake occurred. We will figure out a way to make up for it."

Jiang Muye sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding Leng Ruoli, and said lightly, "How will you make up for it?"

"From now on, the annual Luo Fanter Banquet will invite Mr. Jiang Muye and Miss Leng Ruoli. Moreover, this time we will also provide a free Swarovski crystal necklace, as well as an Island Vacation and a Presidential Suite. All your travel expenses will be charged to us."

After hearing the director's words, Jiang Muye revealed a hint of satisfaction.

He had originally been planning a sweet trip with Leng Ruoli, and now he finally had the opportunity.

"There's one more very important thing that you need to handle," Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" The director was trembling with fear.

Jiang Muye raised his chin and said, "Investigate the true culprit behind the scenes."

"There's nothing wrong with that. We will definitely pursue this to the very end," the director said to Jiang Muye with his head lowered.

"Good. If there are no problems, then we'll be leaving now." Jiang Muye pulled Leng Ruoli up. The director bowed to Jiang Muye, his waist bent to nearly ninety degrees: "Mr. Jiang Muye, Miss Leng Ruoli, please take care."

Jiang Muye coolly led Leng Ruoli out, and brought her to the car.

Leng Ruoli leaned against Jiang Muye's shoulder. Jiang Muye felt a burning gaze and looked down: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"Cheer up a bit." Leng Ruoli's finger hooked the corner of Jiang Muye's lips, drawing it upward again and again.

A smile appeared on Jiang Muye's thin lips. He smiled and leaned in, kissing Leng Ruoli's red lips: "I'm just a little angry that someone ruined the banquet you cared about."

If no one had interfered, it should have been a very beautiful memory for Leng Ruoli.

"For this banquet, what I cared about was whether I was with you. The rest doesn't matter to me." There was light in Leng Ruoli's eyes. "There's always someone whose appearance makes me feel that this moment is worth it."

May the one she loves wear fresh clothes and ride a spirited horse, and may the one she loves accompany her to watch the blazing flames and blooming flowers.
