After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Undercurrents of Confrontation

...Is that all?

Chen Shu had not expected the girl’s reaction to be so indifferent.

She didn’t even let Li Muchen speak to explain before she had concluded that Li Muchen and Gu Siyu were just discussing business.

But the next second, he saw the man who had grabbed his suit jacket and quickly followed, probably Li Muchen’s assistant.

So there was a third person... No wonder the girl had no misunderstandings whatsoever.

Chen Shu’s gaze turned cold for a moment.

His movements paused as he expressionlessly narrowed his eyes and glanced backwards. The moment he met the man’s gaze, Gu Siyu standing by the table couldn’t help but shudder.

Then, as soon as he saw Li Muchen draping his jacket over the girl’s shoulders, Chen Shu’s expression grew even colder.

This Li Muchen...

Chen Shu was certain, at the instant he saw him approach the girl called Shengsheng, this man had no doubt or displeasure towards her. But towards him, there was definitely hostility.

This hostility came from intuition.

Probably from the moment he appeared, Li Muchen intuitively felt that he was different from the friends that had been around the girl before.

Chen Shu was provoking him, seemingly inadvertently, hiding all his intentions behind his gentle and amiable facade.

And Li Muchen coming over to drape the jacket over Lu Sheng was seemingly indifferent in his expression and tone, yet in front of him, he was quietly asserting his dominance.

The girl belonged to him.

Only he could touch and protect her so closely and without reason.

Almost instantly, Chen Shu felt a flame of jealousy ignite in his heart.

Two men, both with excellent stature and appearance, one with an elegant smile, the other with a distant look in his eyes, but when their gazes met, it was as if an invisible clash surged with undercurrents.

However, this confrontation only lasted less than a second.

Because the moment Li Muchen looked at Chen Shu, Lu Sheng proactively began to introduce them.

"Let me introduce you," Lu Sheng directly said to Li Muchen.

"Do you remember Mr. K I talked to you about before, the one who helped us find Grandmother in Suli? His Chinese name is Chen Shu."

"Chen Shu just arrived from Suli to Jiang City today, and we had dinner together tonight. His hotel is nearby, and I was accompanying him to buy a coffee when we happened to see you discussing business."

Then Lu Sheng turned towards Chen Shu and introduced Li Muchen very naturally: "I told you at dinner that I have a boyfriend, this is him, Li Muchen."

Hearing that Chen Shu was the person who had helped find her grandmother, Li Muchen showed a moment of surprise.

"...So Mr. Chen is the one who helped me find my Grandmother." Li Muchen looked up, his previous intense air dissipating as he raised his hand in a gesture to shake hands.

Polite, he said, "Shengsheng should have told me in advance. Mr. Chen has been of great assistance, and for your first meal after such a long journey, it should be my pleasure, along with Shengsheng, to invite you."

"Helping someone is just a small effort for me," Chen Shu said with an unchanged smile, his gaze almost never leaving the girl, speaking intimately, "Mr. Li, no need to be polite, Shengsheng has taken good care of me."

Knowing Chen Shu was the benefactor who had helped find her grandmother, and Lu Sheng had already told Chen Shu about their relationship, Li Muchen was also unsure whether the sense of danger he had just intuited was merely an illusion.

Chen Shu then went on: "I’ve already bought my coffee, and the hotel isn’t far from here. Since Shengsheng has coincidentally met Mr. Li, I’ll just walk back by myself."

"It’s okay," Lu Sheng looked at him, "We can both walk you back together."
