Chapter 310 Uninvited Guests (I)

Wang Dongdong greeted everyone and bowed politely to Wen Xuanning.

Wen Xuanning also returned the greeting with a calm expression.

Wang Dongdong sat down with full of doubts, still not understanding why he was here.

Although they had met each other many times since childhood, they were not familiar with each other because of his special identity and he was not considered part of their circle.

While he was thinking, Jiang Caibin next to him took the initiative to say: "We have sent people to wait under the list. Don't worry, we will know immediately when there is news! I heard from Qingzhu that he has occupied a particularly good position."

"Okay." Wang Dongdong nodded, his eyes still looking at Wen Xuanning.

Jiang Caibin seemed to see Wang Dongdong's confusion and explained in a low voice: "Dongdong, the private rooms on this street are basically all booked. Fortunately, Yu Ke said that Master Wen has already booked a large private room and specially invited us to wait here together!"

He also emphasized words such as "Yu Ke said", "specially", and "invite".

Wang Dongdong immediately realized something and his eyes fell on Ling Yuke who was next to Wen Xuanning. Seeing Ling Yuke talking to Wen Xuanning affectionately with an admiring look on her face, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing Wang Dongdong's eyes, Jiang Caibin covered his mouth and smiled.

"Do you understand?" As he said this, he threw a coquettish glance at Wang Dongdong.

Not to mention that the interaction between Wen Xuanning and Ling Yuke made people uncomfortable, the same was true of Jiang Caibin's speaking manner.

Wang Dongdong's mouth twitched and he looked away, saying, "What do you know?"

"Ah! Them!" Jiang Caibin lowered his voice and nodded at Ling Yuke and Wen Xuanning who were sitting opposite him and whispering. "Otherwise why would he suddenly drag us in and say that Yuke's friends are his friends and we should get closer?"

Ling Yuke and Wen Xuanning?
Wang Dongdong had never thought that these two people could be together, and his mouth opened in shock.

But looking at Ling Yuke's blushing face, the gesture of a little girl she had never seen before, it seemed to be the case.

"Control your expression and don't make it too obvious!" Jiang Caibin reminded.

That makes sense, Wang Dongdong closed his mouth.

He seemed to be watching the interaction between the two people opposite him unintentionally, and there was indeed something interesting going on.

Looking at Wen Xuanning's every move, he became more and more like the tall and straight pine and bamboo in the mountains, with a graceful demeanor. His face was always calm, and occasionally he would reveal a youthful and shy look. The subtle contrast made one want to explore it.

No wonder Wen Xuanning is so popular among women in Chang'an City now. Wang Dongdong finally understood.

In her heart, she always remembered the little brother who used to smile brightly, was arrogant and silly, and she could never reconcile him with the man in front of her.

Forget it, Wang Dongdong shook his head, threw the snotty little boy in his memory out of his mind, and simply changed the subject.

"Why didn't Sister Shao Yan come?"

Wang Dongdong did not lower his voice to say this, and Ruan Shizhi, who was standing next to him, heard it and continued, "Sister Shao Yan said that she has a lot of cases recently and is busy outside every day, so it is inconvenient for her to come."

Although Jing Hao didn't say anything, he nodded silently beside him.

"I see." Wang Dongdong nodded with some regret. She still missed Sister Shao Yan very much.

Ruan Shizhi probably thought that Wang Dongdong would still care about Jiang Caizhi, so he continued, "I heard from Caibin that Brother Caizhi is one of the officials responsible for announcing the results, so he can't get off duty and go home."

"Oh." Wang Dongdong responded somewhat coldly.

She doesn't care about Jiang Caizhi!
Fortunately, no one noticed her reaction as everyone was thinking about their own things.

The results are about to be announced, who cares about these small details?

Jiang Caibin was also unaware of Wang Dongdong's hostility towards the Jiang family, including him, because he also had his own concerns.

"They are here!" Jiang Caibin looked at the spiritual message and suddenly said excitedly.

"Who?" Everyone asked.

Jiang Caibin took the initiative to stand up and open the door of the private room.

They turned out to be two men that no one had ever seen before, one tall and one short, one thin and one strong, both wearing scholar's blue shirts, and obviously both were modern science students.

This time, Jiang Caibin took the initiative to introduce: "These two are my friends, one is named Zhang Huaiyi, the other is..."

The dark and strong scholar bowed and introduced himself, "I am Zhang Huaiyi's junior fellow apprentice, Lu Shen."

The two of them bowed to everyone, looking a little embarrassed.

Obviously Jiang Caibin didn't tell them that there were so many strangers at the scene, and they were all young masters and young ladies. The class difference was too big, and it really seemed like they were trying to get a free meal.

Wang Dongdong and his friends had long been accustomed to Jiang Caibin's eccentricity. He used to suddenly invite strangers to their gatherings, and they didn't know whether to say he was hospitable or that he was stupid.

Sure enough, some people were unhappy.

"Jiang Caibin, this is the private room reserved by Brother Xuan Ning, why are all these indecent people being brought in here?"

Ling Yuke frowned slightly, looking very disgusted. The brothers stood at the door, not knowing whether to leave or stay, looking embarrassed.

Senior Brother Zhang Huaiyi looked indignant, but Junior Brother Lu Shen was calm and said, "If that's the case, we won't disturb you."

Having said that, he clasped his fists and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Jiang Caibin grabbed Lu Shen, pulled him back, turned around and said angrily: "This is my friend!"

Jiang Caibin was filled with indignation. He thought this was how it felt to have his friend looked down upon. He couldn't help but remember that he had treated Wang Dongdong and Sister Liu Sheng in the same way before. Fortunately, Sister Liu Sheng was very magnanimous.

I wonder where Sister Liu Sheng is? It seems like one day I haven't given him orders through my little tentacles, and I can't help but miss her.

Jiang Caibin was lost in thought when he heard Ling Yuke snort and sneer, "So what if we're friends? Have you forgotten the pain now that your wound has healed? Have you forgotten how you fell in Taibai Tower before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the two brothers who were dressed simply and were obviously very different from them.

Wang Dongdong frowned and his heart skipped a beat.

She knew what was going on with Jiang Caibin, but no one else knew.

Sure enough, Ruan Shizhi and Jing Hao both looked thoughtful, and Jing Hao was looking at them sharply.

Jiang Caibin's face turned red with anger: "No...you don't know!"

However, after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The brothers felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and they looked at each other and were about to say goodbye.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward to help.

And it was the unexpected Wen Xuanning.

But Wen Xuanning said, "Sister Yu Ke, please don't say that. I have heard that Senior Brother Lu Shen is the head of Lu Ming Academy. He is not some unknown person."

Everyone suddenly realized that being the head of one of the top ten academies was definitely not something that an ordinary person could do.

"Since today is the day of the announcement, there will naturally be more people, please take a seat, Brother Lu and Brother Zhang."

Wen Xuanning also took the initiative to stand up and invite them, with a warm smile that was intimate yet polite, which warmed the hearts of the two brothers who were originally feeling uneasy, and the situation was less awkward.

Ling Yuke folded her arms and snorted, looking unhappy.

But Wen Xuanning calmed her down with just one sentence.

"Sister Yu Ke is just worried about her friend because of some unfortunate things that happened in the past. I hope you two brothers don't mind. Xuan Ning would like to apologize to you two on her behalf." Wen Xuan Ning explained with a smile.

In Ling Yuke's view, this sentence meant that Wen Xuanning put her in the position of his own and helped her out, and she immediately felt sweet in her heart.

The name!

With his appearance and demeanor, Zhang Huaiyi immediately knew that the elegant young man in front of him was Wen Xuanning, the son of the famous Prime Minister. He was flattered and quickly greeted him.

"I understand. It's normal to worry about your friends. It shows that the girl is loyal and righteous. We are the uninvited guests. It's our fault."

Zhang Huaiyi's heart was pounding. He didn't expect that Jiang Caibin, whom he met casually on the street, would make him meet such a young master from a top aristocratic family.

After the two of them got to know each other privately, Zhang Huaiyi no longer thought that Jiang Caibin was a woman. Although he was a little disappointed, he now realized that getting to know these young men and women from aristocratic families seemed to be better than gaining a relationship with them.

Lu Shen bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, and since his senior brother was not leaving, he would not leave either.

He didn't care whether the people in front of him were nobles or beggars.

But Wen Xuanning was quite interested in him, and pulled him to talk about policy essays, which revealed profound insights into the overall situation of the world, which surprised Lu Shen. He couldn't help but listen carefully and ask questions humbly.

Ling Yuke was left out and pouted, looking very unhappy.

And Wang Dongdong was not very happy either.

Because Jiang Caibin wanted to discuss the latest episode of "Song Gong Detective Cases" with Zhang Huaiyi, he forced her to leave and asked her to sit between Ruan Shizhi and Jing Hao.

But thinking about it, she already hated the Jiang brothers, so this was just right.

Coincidentally, Wang Dongdong could ask Ruan Shizhi about the progress of his father's affairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that Ruan Shizhi's face still didn't look good, with red eyes, which was worrying.

However, Ruan Shizhi shook his head sadly and said, "I still don't know the news. We have completely lost contact since we entered Mobei."

"My mother hasn't returned to the north of the Great Wall yet..." As he spoke, Ruan Shizhi lowered his head and almost cried.

Jing Hao silently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
