Chapter 349 The Cat Demon Abused by the Hypocritical Heiress 23 (1/2)

Realizing this, Yuan Jiang's smile froze instantly. The cold light from the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling slanted across her profile, reflecting the coldness and wariness in her eyes. Her gaze swept around, and she saw couples or friends whispering and sipping their wine, without a trace of anything unusual.

Is it just my imagination?

Yuan Jiang's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she secretly sighed that she had been too vigilant.

"Junior, I haven't had a chance to apologize to you for what happened last time, but I really didn't mean any harm." Jiang Ci nervously licked her lips and explained in a low voice, "I saw that Xin Zhouzhou and you are on good terms, so I thought of asking her to bring you to the social event."

Since that incident, Xin Zhouzhou has never appeared in front of Yuan Jiang again. As time went by, Yuan Jiang almost forgot about him. Now that he was mentioned by Jiang Ci, she smiled and said, "It's all in the past. But Jiang Ci, I don't like people who are persistent and clingy."

“But I…” Jiang Ci’s expression fell, her nose suddenly stung, and she swallowed back the sob that was rising in her throat. She stared intently at the delicious-looking steak in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming misty, and her eyelashes drooping wetly.

Jiang Ci was born into the top-tier Jiang family and was an only child. He had everything he wanted from childhood to adulthood and had never been rejected. Countless charming, pure, sweet and lovely girls flocked to him, eager to throw themselves at him, but he never fell for them.

You finally meet someone you like, only to be harshly rejected.

Jiang Ci pressed his tongue against his back teeth. In fact, he could have told his parents to arrange a family marriage. Although the Yuan family was also a wealthy family, it was no match for the Jiang family. Wealthy families are also divided into different levels. The Jiang family is a wealthy family that has accumulated wealth for more than ten generations, while the Yuan family has only been wealthy for a few generations. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

But Jiang Ci knew in his heart that if Yuan Jiang didn't agree to be with him, and he insisted on using methods to be with her, that would be coercion!

Yuan Jiang looked at him calmly: "I have someone I like."

"Hey, junior, don't be so narcissistic." Jiang Ci raised her hand to wipe her face, revealing a smug and disdainful smile, her tone smug: "Although you're very pretty and have a great figure, I'm not bad either!"

"How could I possibly pester you like this?"

Yuan Jiang smiled slightly and raised her glass to Jiang Ci: "Senior is indeed not bad."

Among ordinary people, Jiang Ci's appearance is indeed top-notch. With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a spirited demeanor, the young master who grew up in Jinshan exudes an air of nonchalant nobility, not to mention that he has the backing of the Jiang family.

"Ring ring—" The cell phone rang.

Jiang Ci glanced at it and said considerately, "Junior, you answer the phone first."

Yuan Jiang nodded. It was Liu Yun calling. Liu Yun rarely called her. Was there something urgent?

She swiped to answer the phone: "Mom."

"Jiang Jiang! Gou Dan ran away!" Liu Yun's anxious voice came through the phone: "I just wanted to take him to get him spayed, but I didn't expect him to have such a strong reaction. He ran away when I wasn't looking, and more than a hundred servants in the house have been searching for him all day but haven't been able to find him!"

"What?" Yuan Jiang's eyes narrowed. Liu Yun was unaware of the situation, but she knew that Gou Dan was a spirit cat who could transform into human form, so it was impossible for him to get lost. However, Gou Dan neither came to look for her nor was he at home that day. So where did he go?

"Jiang Jiang, I've already contacted over a dozen cat-finding teams, they're on their way, don't panic." Liu Yun was filled with regret. If she had known Gou Dan was so afraid of being spayed/neutered, she would never have dragged him to the vet. Now it's all over, the cat has run away!
