Chapter 13: Catching a Cheating?

Thanks to Cheng Du’s tip-off, Ji Xueli already knew that Duan Qingyu was drinking with him at the club.

Li Li, are you coming over?

Ji Xueli looked at the message Cheng Du had sent her, with a photo attached.

In the picture, the man looked indifferent, with dim lighting casting a soft glow on his exquisite face. He held a whiskey glass in his hand, leaning back on the sofa with a graceful and lazy posture, a smile on his face that didn’t reach his eyes.

Around him were two or three beautiful women, and judging by the atmosphere in the picture, it looked very flirtatious.

The man in the picture was Duan Qingyu.

Ji Xueli didn’t show any emotion as she replied: Ten minutes.

She wasn’t angry at all after seeing the picture; in fact, she was a bit excited. Although she wanted to finish her task quickly, if it were too easy, she would feel regretful.

Turning this into a challenging game made it much more interesting.

Of course, the premise was that the other person had to be interesting too.

Host, do you want to go catch him cheating? the system suddenly asked.

No, just participate in the fun. Ji Xueli said casually, gripping the steering wheel.

“…Don’t go too far, you don’t have the protagonist halo.” The system paused for a moment, then continued.

Ji Xueli snorted, “You know that too.”

“Hehe, anyway, if you follow the rules, I believe with your beauty and intelligence, you’ll definitely succeed,” the system said, sounding a little embarrassed.

“Facing him, I can’t just follow the rules, or I’ll be backstabbed at any moment.” Ji Xueli shook her head.

She could still tell that when you think you’ve seen his true face, underneath the mask, there’s another hidden one.

She soon arrived at the club’s entrance, got out of the car, and casually tossed the car keys to the security guard at the door.

Soon, someone came up to her and said, “Miss Ji, I’ll show you the way.”

Ji Xueli nodded.

The place where Cheng Du and Duan Qingyu were was the club’s top-tier private room, a place frequented by the wealthy and powerful. Everyone there was not ordinary.

“This is it,” the server led her to the door.

Ji Xueli smiled politely, then the door was pushed open, and the scene inside unfolded before her eyes.

There were at least a dozen people in the room, including the women accompanying them.

Looking around, only about five or six of them seemed to have status and influence, with Duan Qingyu sitting in the main seat.

As soon as the door opened, all conversations in the room stopped, and everyone turned to look at the entrance.

Duan Qingyu, holding a cigarette with his long fingers, had the smoke curling around his sharp jawline. Through the haze, he looked at the beautiful, cold face of the woman standing at the door.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile, as the white smoke spiraled up his fingers.

Ji Xueli’s gaze immediately fixed on Duan Qingyu, then shifted to the woman beside him.

“Li Li, you’re here.” Cheng Du was the first to stand up and walk toward her.

“Master Cheng, who is this?” Someone asked. This person’s demeanor and appearance made it obvious that he came from a wealthy family, but they didn’t seem to recognize Ji Xueli.

“I’ll introduce her. This is Ji Xueli, just back from overseas,” Cheng Du said, linking his arm with Ji Xueli’s as he spoke to them.

“Oh, so it’s Miss Ji from the Ji family.” They finally realized who she was, but their gazes couldn’t help but drift toward Duan Qingyu, who was seated at the main seat.

Ji Xueli observed everything with a composed expression. “It’s been a long time, everyone.”

“Yes, it’s indeed been a while. We almost forgot what Miss Ji looked like.”

“Don’t say that. Our Li Li is so beautiful, how could we forget?” Cheng Du glared at them.

“Right, Miss Ji, why don’t you sit with me?” one of them suggested.

“Li Li is naturally sitting next to me.” Cheng Du raised an eyebrow.
