After Being Reborn and Bound to a System, I Became a Rich, Beautiful, and Successful Woman

67: See through the true faceAt Louju Pavilion,

Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi arrived early and instructed Vice Manager Li Qianshang to reserve a private booth, ideally right next door.

After Jiang He and Shen Chaoyun arrived, Li Qianshang stepped forward. ”Second Miss, Chairman Jiang has already asked me to reserve a booth. She also mentioned that something came up at the last minute, so she won’t be coming today!”

Jiang He replied, ”I see. Okay, I understand.”

”Very well, Second Miss. This way, please.” Li Qianshang led Jiang He and today’s guest of honor, Shen Chaoyun, to Booth No. 2!

In the elevator, Shen Chaoyun asked Jiang He, ”He He, is the owner of Louju Pavilion your sister?”

Jiang He said, ”Yes. Although I’m not sure why Sister invited me to dinner today but didn’t show up herself.”

After they entered Booth No. 2, the scene inside was transmitted to the projection screen in Jiang Li’s room.

Jiang Li had directly asked Li Qianshang to install a surveillance camera.

Fu Xiangqi was feeding fruit to Jiang Li, glancing at the projection screen from time to time.

Jiang Li, however, kept her eyes fixed on it.

Inside Booth No. 2,

Jiang He and Shen Chaoyun were sitting together, looking at the menu.

Shen Chaoyun took Jiang He’s hand and said affectionately, ”He He, you’re so kind. You actually booked this place knowing it’s my birthday today.”

He believed that He He must have said her sister invited him just to give him a surprise.

Jiang He really didn’t know it was Shen Chaoyun’s birthday. Hearing this now, she said, ”Chaoyun, I’m going out for a moment.”

”Okay. Oh, by the way, He He, can I invite my friends over?”

Shen Chaoyun looked at Jiang He as she stood up.

”Sure, go ahead and call them!” Perhaps it was a form of compensation.

Jiang He left and went to the first floor. She asked Li Qianshang to order a cake and sent someone to the LM Building to buy a tie.

But on second thought, she decided to go herself; it wouldn’t take much time to go there and back.

So, she drove to the LM Building.

Li Qianshang had already received instructions from Chairman Jiang, and the cake had already been ordered.

Seeing that Miss Jiang He hadn’t returned yet, he went to deliver the cake.

Arriving at the door of Booth No. 2, he heard a cacophony of noise coming from inside.

He knocked on the door.

Li Qianshang heard a voice say, ”Come in.”

After entering, he set the cake down. ”Mr. Shen, this was ordered by the Second Miss.”

Shen Chaoyun was starting to act like the master of the house, even getting a bit carried away.

”Mm, I got it. Go get two bottles of red wine!”

Li Qianshang remembered Chairman Jiang’s instructions to give them whatever they asked for, so he said, ”Certainly, Mr. Shen. Would the Merlot from Château Pétrus be acceptable? It’s priced at thirty thousand per bottle.”

Hearing how expensive the wine was, Shen Chaoyun said, ”Fine, bring that one.”

Once Li Qianshang left, Shen Chaoyun’s friends immediately cheered, ”Brother Yun, you’re so imposing!”

Shen Chaoyun enjoyed the admiration. ”Keep it down, keep it down. The food is here, let’s eat!”

Someone remembered Jiang He and asked Shen Chaoyun, ”Brother Yun, where’s that girlfriend you managed to win over?”

Shen Chaoyun said nonchalantly, ”Probably went to prepare a gift for me! Let me tell you, her sister is the owner of Louju Pavilion!”

”Really? Brother Yun, you’re amazing!”

Shen Chaoyun said, ”I didn’t expect it either. I only pursued her because I saw she didn’t care about spending money. I never thought she’d be a genuine ’fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful’ girl!”

”Wait... I remember now!”

Someone suddenly shouted out in a fuss.

Shen Chaoyun was in the middle of speaking and was startled by the sudden noise.

”What’s wrong? You’re being so jumpy.”

”No, do you guys remember a news report saying the owner of Louju Pavilion is the hidden chairman of the Jiang Group? It was taken down very quickly, though! Do you remember?”

At this point, everyone suddenly remembered.

Furthermore, the chairman of the Jiang Group and the young master of the Fu Group were a couple.

Everyone looked at Shen Chaoyun. If there were no mistakes, Jiang He was the younger sister of the Jiang Group’s chairman.

Shen Chaoyun also realized this.

Immediately, everyone began to toast Shen Chaoyun.

”Brother Yun, once you rise to the top, don’t forget about me!”

”Yeah, Brother Yun, with such a powerful girlfriend, you’ll never have to worry about food or drink again!”

”Brother Yun, you must invite me when you get married!”

”Why call him Brother Yun? Call him President Shen.”

”Right, right, right. President Shen, cheers.”

Shen Chaoyun listened to the compliments one after another, feeling immensely satisfied.

Their words greatly satisfied his vanity.

He completely forgot that all of this was gained through a woman.

He didn’t even realize that everything he was doing was being watched by others.

When Jiang He returned with a tie, she happened to run into Li Qianshang.

”Second Miss.”

Jiang He was puzzled. ”What are you doing?”

”Replying to Second Miss, it’s Mr. Shen. He asked me to bring over some red wine.”

”Red wine? To Booth No. 2?”

”Yes, Second Miss.”

”I see. Let’s go together!”

Arriving at the door, she heard the chattering voices of everyone inside.

Even if she had agreed to let Shen Chaoyun invite his friends, making such a ruckus and disturbing others was a matter of poor manners.

Furthermore, Jiang He overheard things about herself.

It turned out that Shen Chaoyun had been scheming against her from the very beginning.

Jiang He heard Shen Chaoyun talking about how he created opportunities, and... ”And what? Shen Chaoyun, keep talking. I’m listening.”

After opening the door, Jiang He sat directly in the head seat, with Li Qianshang following behind her holding the red wine.

Shen Chaoyun hadn’t expected Jiang He to return so soon. ”He He, you misheard. Besides, don’t you know how much I love you? I even cut my hand while cooking for you. You know how important hands are for a doctor.”

Jiang He listened to his false accusations and his attempt to PUA her.

”To hell with you! You want to PUA me? You must be looking for death.” Jiang He couldn’t stand being wronged at all. Now that she knew how Shen Chaoyun had plotted against her, she felt nothing but disgust for him.

Shen Chaoyun hadn’t expected Jiang He to be so assertive and unwilling to listen to any excuses.

He didn’t want the wealth that was almost within his grasp to slip away like this.

He knelt down directly and pleaded with Jiang He.

”He He, I really love you! I only staged those encounters because I was afraid you wouldn’t like me. He He, believe me!”

Jiang He looked at the man kneeling before her. ”Shen Chaoyun, this is truly the first time I’ve realized you are so despicable.”

Hearing the word ’despicable,’ the expression on Shen Chaoyun’s face almost crumbled, and he was about to stand up and strike Jiang He.

Seeing Shen Chaoyun stand up, Li Qianshang immediately stepped forward and restrained him.

”Mr. Shen, this is Louju Pavilion, not a place for you to throw a tantrum. I suggest you think carefully.”

Seeing this, Shen Chaoyun’s fair-weather friends hid in the back without saying a word. Finding that no one was stopping them, they simply left, abandoning Shen Chaoyun.

When he turned back, he found that not a single person was left.

They were just complimenting him a moment ago, and now!

”Shen Chaoyun, I, Jiang He, am not someone you can scheme against. Since you dared to plot, you must have the capacity to face the consequences.”

Li Qianshang had the security guards seize Shen Chaoyun, just in case he tried to run—after all, the bill hadn’t been paid yet.
