CHAPTER 779: CHAPTER 779

Looking at the person in front of her, Xu Qianli was immensely stunned.

Stunned indeed, but beyond the astonishment, she was somewhat perplexed.

She thought Xiao Wu had wanted her to meet someone else, but, unexpectedly, it was her—wasn’t this Xiao Mei?

Ah, no, something was amiss.

Although she hadn’t interacted with Xiao Mei much, Xu Qianli considered herself somewhat familiar with her; the temperament differed completely from the woman in front of her.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Mei, always hidden and on the run, living amidst constant crises, perpetually dodging Qi Tianlin’s assassination attempts, were cautious, restrained in disposition, alert, and sensitive to everything.

The woman now, though she had the same face and was equally stunning, bore a completely different air—proud like a lofty peacock, exuding nobility from head to toe, coolly confident and composed, manifesting a distinct kind of aura.

This wasn’t Xiao Mei—this woman was someone else.

There was actually someone in the world so similar to Xiao Wu and Xiao Mei—Xu Qianli subconsciously thought of a person, the youngest of the Xiao family triplets who were kidnapped by Qi Tianlin when the Xiao family was destroyed, known to the world as Qi Yujiao, the young mistress of the Qi family!

The woman in front of her was undoubtedly Qi Yujiao!

No wonder Xiao Wu said that once she saw the person in question, she could mostly guess what she and Xiao Mei were planning.

Thinking about it now, it was indeed the case.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Mei had secretly traveled to Wangdong Province, even going to Hai City, relying on Disguise Technique to get close to Qi Yujiao; today, they even arranged for her to meet Qi Yujiao, and they wanted her to make a lasting impression on Qi Yujiao—clearly trying to have her take Qi Yujiao down.

Their idea was probably to recognize each other as sisters, but they were worried Qi Yujiao might not be willing to join them against Qi Tianlin, or even might turn around and sell them out.

No matter how one considered it, Qi Yujiao was raised by Qi Tianlin, always regarding him as her real father.

Suddenly someone would run up and say her dad was fake, twenty years of foster care was false, and he also murdered her blood relations, sharing a blood feud with her—she’d struggle to accept such revelations.

Just having her take down Qi Yujiao, they should have given me a heads up, how could they be so rough, forcing me to make moves immediately?

And this Qi Yujiao, she couldn’t be the same woman who quarreled with me at the art exhibition, preventing me from buying that painting, could she?

After all this trouble, it turns out she was the artist behind that painting—it makes sense now.

No wonder Xiao Wu insisted I buy that painting at any cost—it was intended to help facilitate a meeting between Qi Yujiao and me.

Qi Yujiao was patiently waiting, sipping tea; seeing Xu Qianli approaching, she scoffed before speaking, "We meet again!"

"Have we met before?" Xu Qianli feigned ignorance.

"Of course we’ve met." Qi Yujiao took her sunglasses and placed them on her face, "Remember now?"

Xu Qianli blurted out, "So it was you, the annoying woman who made a fuss for no reason, stopping me from buying the painting and losing your temper at me!"

What the heck... annoying woman?

Qi Yujiao, infuriated, leapt up from the sofa and quickly stepped toward Xu Qianli, "What did you say, you pervert? You dare call me an annoying woman?"

"Isn’t that so? We didn’t even know each other, yet you persistently interfered with my buying the painting, and when that failed, you relentlessly ridiculed and mocked me. Calling you a ’stinking woman’ is putting it lightly—I was so mad I wanted to slap you."

Xu Qianli’s presence grew even stronger, intent on arguing, thinking, who is afraid of who? I have all the time in the world.

Qi Yujiao got even more agitated; her face turned pale green. She rushed forward, pressed her chest against Xu Qianli, tilted her head up, and started bickering with him furiously.

The two of them were like a needle against wheat, always clashing at first sight, never-ending arguments.

Xiao Wu couldn’t help but giggle to herself, worried that Xu Qianli wouldn’t make a lasting impression on Qi Yujiao; now it seemed she had been overly concerned.

Xu Qianli was truly cunning, he really had a way with women! Faking an argument, impressive, doing this, Qi Yujiao would never forget him.

After all, being the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, she had always been handled with care. How could she tolerate being disrespected? It would be strange if she didn’t hold a grudge against Xu Qianli.

As long as she remembered Xu Qianli, always thinking of him, she would surely interact with Xu Qianli in the future; he didn’t believe Xu Qianli couldn’t win her over.

After a while, feeling it was about time, Xiao Wu quietly moved behind Xu Qianli, forcefully pressed the back of his head, pushing it forward, and placed his hands on Qi Yujiao’s waist.

Having done all this, Xiao Wu quickly left, leaving Xu Qianli and Qi Yujiao alone together.

Suddenly, Xu Qianli was stunned, and so was Qi Yujiao.

They were fiercely arguing when suddenly their lips touched— what was happening?

A first kiss—this was Qi Yujiao’s first kiss, and it was unexpectedly taken by a detestable man she hated. How could this happen? No, this shouldn’t be happening.

Also, this guy’s hands, how dare they? He dared to touch her waist without her permission, embracing her waist, on what basis?

So bad, so domineering, so shameless—how could there be such a man? How dare he?

Xu Qianli was also confused. Even if Xiao Wu wanted him to win over Qi Yujiao, there was no need to be so abrupt as to kiss directly.

But it seemed not too bad, Xu Qianli simply went along, tightly held Qi Yujiao’s slender waist, fiercely kissed her red lips, and even pried open her teeth, giving her a deep kiss.

A first kiss that was a deep kiss—Qi Yujiao was utterly dumbfounded, completely unsure of what to do, and was led by the nose by Xu Qianli.

Seeing Qi Yujiao not resisting at all, Xu Qianli was even more enthusiastic; he directly picked up Qi Yujiao, fell together with her onto the sofa, while kissing her red lips, one hand reached under her skirt...

Qi Yujiao trembled lightly, wanting to stop Xu Qianli, trying to hold his hand, but she couldn’t resist, too embarrassed, she could only close her beautiful eyes, letting Xu Qianli do as he pleased.

Annoying, this man was really so bad, so domineering, they had just been arguing endlessly, and suddenly he made his move on her. On what grounds?

Mm, that place, no, no, really no, I’ve never had a boyfriend, you can’t mess around.

Eventually, Xu Qianli finally let go of Qi Yujiao’s red lips, and leering at her beautiful big eyes, he gasped and said, "My woman, what’s your name?"

Qi Yujiao, blushing, spit back, "Who’s your woman? We just met, and you’ve already been so bad, who would want to be your woman?"

"Don’t think I don’t know, that painting was yours, wasn’t it? The model was yourself, right? You painted your naked body and displayed it at the exhibition; isn’t it just because you wanted a man? Had you already made up your mind to follow any man who bought that painting?"

Xu Qianli said.
