Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Stop Glorifying Yourself
Everyone in Capital City knows that the most eligible bachelor Li Shengxiao is indifferent to women. Over the years, whether they be high-society ladies who throw themselves at him, or top models and actresses who stick to him, none has managed to even touch his sleeves—except Shen Siyuan. She’s the exception who occasionally shows up by his side and doesn’t get pushed away.
"Better listen to your friend, stop embarrassing yourself here. Sour grapes!"
Jiang Wen, held back tightly by a friend, couldn’t stand the humiliation and retorted with a cold laugh, her face flushed, "Me, sour grapes? I think it’s you who are sour grapes! Mr. Li already has a girlfriend and you’re still trying to gold-plate your faces as if you’re all so unique! If you were really that unique, how come Shen Siyuan has only been Mr. Li’s little sister after all these years? Simply put, Mr. Li just isn’t into her!"
"She desperately tries to get close to Mr. Li, but he doesn’t care about her. It’s embarrassing that you guys still have the nerve to mock others. If I were you, I’d hold my tongue a bit to avoid getting humiliated!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? What girlfriend? She’s just a minor celebrity, just someone for Mr. Li to play around with. Can she even compare to our Siyuan? She can’t even show up for Old Madam’s birthday! You call that a girlfriend? Only our Siyuan can personally deliver gifts that Old Madam will accept. You clearly don’t understand the situation at all!" Neither would budge in their argument.
Jiang Wen, infuriated by the provocation, ignored the desperate persuasions of her friend, let go, and snapped, breathing heavily, "Even if that minor celebrity isn’t considered a girlfriend, it sure as hell wouldn’t be Shen Siyuan’s turn. Mr. Li has an official fiancée; what is she but a tag-along? On a good day, she’s a sister, on a bad day, just shameless, sticking around just because her brother is Mr. Li’s friend."
Shen Siyuan’s friends, who had never heard about Li Shengxiao having a fiancée, were stunned for a moment, then burst into mockery.
"Huh? Mr. Li has a fiancée? Who, you?"
"I think she must be dreaming. So funny, a fiancée? How come we never heard about Mr. Li having a fiancée, only she knows. Wow, she’s so impressive."
"Ha, random claims must be impressive; I could even say I’m Mr. Cui’s wife."
"You!" Jiang Wen, shaking with anger, her face ashen, enunciated each word, "Believe it or not, the marriage was arranged since Mr. Li was a child. Shen Siyuan knowing and still fawning over him just shows how thick-skinned she is, shameless."
Cai Sinan, the granddaughter of the CEO of Nanshan Group and best friends with Shen Siyuan, stood up straight, crossed her arms, tilted her chin up, and condescendingly said, "Oh really? Then tell us, who is Mr. Li’s fiancée? You better not say it’s you; I don’t want to laugh my teeth out right here."
Provoked beyond patience, the young Jiang Wen bit her lip hard, shook off her friend’s hand, and stared straight into Cai Sinan’s eyes, "It’s Miss Chu of the Chu Family! How about that? Her family background is much better than Shen Siyuan’s! You people can’t even catch up to them with all the boot-licking! She’s the real deal, top-notch socialite!"
Both the Chu and Lin Families are top-level noble families. The direct descendants from such families truly belong to the crème de la crème, prestigious and privileged.
Stunned by her words, as people were about to sneer and question her source, a striking figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
