Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 165 - Wager

"I saw you once by Jiaoyang's side when I went to deliver her birthday present."

Hearing the name 'Jiaoyang', the expressions of the people present changed.

Sheng Jiaoyang racked her brains to recall the scene that Shen Zhining had mentioned. How strange, she didn't have any impression of this. There was no recollection of these two together in her memories.

At that moment, Lin Yan's gaze immediately shifted to Sheng Jiaoyang.

Without doubt, Sheng Jiaoyang understood his inquiring gaze. He wanted to know whether or not Shen Zhining knew her identity. But, how could she possibly answer him?

The way the two looked at each other with a kind of tacit understanding that seemed to say more made it hard for others to believe that there was nothing between them.

Shen Zhining's gaze intensified and his grip around Sheng Jiaoyang's hand tightened, dragging her attention back to him.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at Shen Zhining.

"I saw a few acquaintances earlier. Let's go, I'll introduce you to them," Shen Zhining calmly said.

Without waiting for Sheng Jiaoyang's response, he said to Grandfather Lin, "Grandfather Lin, please excuse us."

"Okay, go ahead. You youngsters can go out and have fun later."

Shen Zhining glanced at Lin Yan before walking away with Sheng Jiaoyang.

"You know Lin Yan?" Shen Zhining vaguely asked.

Sheng Jiaoyang thought for a bit before replying, "Lina and I are good friends. I've been to her house before, so I've met her brother there."

Hearing this, Shen Zhining made no comment.

Afterwards, Sheng Jiaoyang saw Lina and Lin Yu enter the banquet hall, and her face immediately lit up.

Lina also saw her and quickly walked towards her. At the same time, she noticed that Shen Zhining and Sheng Jiaoyang were holding hands.

"Jiaojiao, I'll go and greet Grandfather first. I'll look for you later." Lina winked at Sheng Jiaoyang and cast a meaningful look at the rumoured Demon King Shen before leaving.

Sheng Jiaoyang stared at Lina's departing figure and turned to Shen Zhining. "I want to leave early today."

"With Lina?"

"Mhmm."

Shen Zhining nodded.

"President Shen!" Several people came over to chat.

Sheng Jiaoyang was a little absent-minded, so when Shen Zhining was chatting with the others, she just served as a pretty face. Only when the others casually asked her a question or two would she respond. When her mind occasionally wandered too far, she'd completely miss out on the others' words and inadvertently disregard them. Some of these people had attended Grandfather Yang's banquet and knew that she was the latter's granddaughter, so they merely smiled when they were neglected.

A family of three was standing nearby, watching the scene from the sidelines.

"Dad, Mum, let's go and say hello. In any case, we are acquainted!" Pan Mingyue grabbed her parents' hands and dragged them along without waiting for their response.

"President Shen." Pan Zihui smiled awkwardly.

Shen Zhining nodded. "President Pan, your family looks so harmonious that it makes me envious."
