C158 – Intentionally Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone
“It’s all Jiang Hao’s fault!”
“I was supposed to be the center of attention, the star of the show!”
Lee Xuan’s inner voice roared with fury.
“Bang!”
In a fit of anger, Lee Xuan slammed the cup down on the table!
The sudden noise startled everyone, causing them to turn and look his way.
Caught in their gaze, Lee Xuan cowered, forcing a smile while he quickly apologized.
“My bad, my bad!”
“I guess I’ve had a bit too much to drink!”
“Carry on, folks. I just need to hit the restroom!”
Saying this, Lee Xuan staggered toward the exit.
Little Fat, standing by Jiang Hao, was quick on the uptake.
He leaned in and whispered to Jiang Hao,
“Lee Xuan is green with envy over you!”
“He was supposed to be the main attraction at this party!”
Jiang Hao just smiled at the comment, clearly unbothered.
“Let him be. I’m going to raise another toast to everyone!”
......
“Group Leader Sun, let’s chat while we walk,” he suggested.
With that, Lee Xuan took Sun Qi by the arm and led him upstairs.
......
Upstairs, Jiang Hao and his friends were enjoying their drinks when Lee Xuan burst in, abruptly halting the merriment.
“Hold on, everyone, just hold on!”
In that moment, a sea of bewildered eyes turned toward Lee Xuan.
Wearing a grin, Lee Xuan met their gazes, and then shot Jiang Hao a look that was anything but friendly.
“I’d like to introduce a few friends to you all!”
“Let’s give them a warm welcome!”
He finished his announcement and, looking toward the door, started clapping enthusiastically.
At his words, confusion spread across the faces in the room. Some people were visibly upset, and the murmuring began to swell.
“What’s Lee Xuan up to now?”
“Who are they? Today is our class reunion, why do we have to welcome his friends?”
“Exactly, what’s he trying to pull?”
......
The grumbles and complaints came from all corners.
Jiang Hao watched Lee Xuan with a mix of irritation and curiosity. This was their class dinner, not Lee Xuan’s personal party.
Yet, he didn’t intervene.
He was curious to see what Lee Xuan was up to this time.
