Chapter 88 Meeting_5

"Nothing," Ye Shijie withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and thought to himself that it must have been an illusion. Even if Jiang Li did come out tonight, she wouldn't be alone; there would always be Jiang family members with her.

He was really being overly paranoid.

...

Wangxian Tower was the largest tavern in Yanjing City.

When Jiang Li had been a lady of the Shen Family, she had passed by this building with Mother Shen and Shen Ruyun. At the time, Mother Shen and Shen Ruyun were very envious, but she didn't care much. Compared to the Shen family members, her desires were always remarkably tame. However, from that time on, she understood that Wangxian Tower was a den of extravagance, a place frequented by the upper class.

A place she couldn't set foot in in her previous life, she now could stride into so boldly in this one, even being called a "distinguished guest" and "invited" in, though this invitation was different from others, it was still justifiable to accept.
