CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306:

Si Ruo looked at the Ace in her hand, and she really didn’t want to be in the same group as Jiang Moxi.

So, she took the opportunity when others weren’t paying attention to swap cards with Shen Ruyi.

Just like that, the group members were each confirmed.

The group that Ye Chen was in, apart from Yu Dingding, also included Shu Yani.

Shu Yani was extremely excited, constantly edging closer to Ye Chen, describing all of this as a fate bestowed by the heavens.

Ye Chen felt that Shu Yani was almost bumping her face against his, yet Yu Dingding remained indifferent, even taking a step further back, clenching her teeth in anger.

"Baby, didn’t you see I was almost carried off by a beauty? Don’t you care at all?"

Yu Dingding glanced at Shu Yani indifferently: "Why should I worry about you? I think you two are quite a good match."

Ye Chen’s face looked even worse.

Never before had he been more certain than in this moment that he didn’t occupy a place in Yu Dingding’s heart.

Si Lin watched the odd scene of the three of them and couldn’t help teasing: "Young Master Ye, not bad! Enjoying the company of ladies on each arm!"

Ye Chen, of course, was not someone who took a loss lying down, and he quickly retorted: "The same goes for you, Young Master Si."

Si Lin’s dark pupils also instantly darkened a great deal.

He only wanted to hunt with Jiang Moxi, but who knew that Shen Ruyi would also worm her way into their group!

At this moment, Shen Ruyi was happily hooking her arm around his, which irritated him greatly.

So, after this round of jibes, neither man got the better of the other, and both quieted down.

The rest of the people were busy selecting suitable hunting rifles.

Especially Si Ruo, who was extremely serious in her selection, even taking a cloth to wipe them.

Si Lin shook off Shen Ruyi’s hand and also stepped forward to pick a rifle, calling out to Jiang Moxi: "Xixi, come pick one that suits you as well."

But Jiang Moxi said, "Just give me whatever you guys don’t want."

After all, she had used all kinds of guns, so it didn’t make much difference to her.

Yet, when Si Ruo overheard this, she couldn’t help but scoff: "Bro, she obviously will just be a burden, why bother picking a gun for her? Better to just let her carry more bullets for you."

Si Lin frowned, "Ruoruo!"

Naturally, Si Ruo could see that Si Lin had feelings for Jiang Moxi.

But why Jiang Moxi?

Her brother was clearly opposing Jiang Moxi just to protect her and to compete with Fu Youhan before, so how come in the blink of an eye, he wanted to be with Jiang Moxi just like Fu Youhan did?

Si Ruo couldn’t stand to see both her brother and the person she liked the most being taken away by Jiang Moxi, so she suddenly proposed: "Jiang Moxi, how about we compete on the number of prey we hunt later? The loser has to wash the winner’s shoes, how about that?"

Si Ruo wanted to teach Jiang Moxi a lesson, wanting to humiliate her into washing her shoes in front of everyone.

But Jiang Moxi wasn’t as easy to fool as imagined, and only mockingly asked her: "Why should I compete with you? I’m not that bored!"

This meant that she, Si Ruo, was the bored one?

Si Ruo didn’t expect that her ploy against Jiang Moxi would fail, and even got insulted by Jiang Moxi; she was livid with anger: "You’re just afraid of losing to me, afraid of washing my shoes, that’s why you say it’s boring!"

"If that’s what you want to think, so be it."

Jiang Moxi was unaffected, leaning against a tree trunk with a foxtail grass in her mouth, looking utterly carefree and content, infuriatingly nonchalant.

At some point, Si Ruo suddenly understood why her brother Si Lin was attracted to Jiang Moxi.

Because they were originally the same kind of people, indifferent to the gaze of others, and not constrained by morality.

But Si Ruo just detested her, to the extreme, so she also started to hurl insults.

"Jiang Moxi, you’re completely useless, it’s your foster parents who despise you, pushing you aside at every turn, and they won’t leave you anything!"

Recently, Si Ruo had also deliberately investigated Jiang Moxi’s background and found out that Jiang Moxi was actually a foster child of the Jiang Family, and she also discovered those incidents that had happened in the Information Security Department, leading her to blurt out these words in a fit of rage.

And these words also made long-forgotten scenes flash through Jiang Moxi’s mind.

"These are the cookies saved for your brother, and you dare to steal them, watch me not beat you to death!"

That was during the few years after she was taken back by the Liang Family. The Liangs were considered well-off in the village, but everything was reserved for their son, and Jiang Moxi was often left without food.

So that day, when Jiang Moxi was starving, the cravings got the better of her, and she sneaked a piece of the cookies.

The cookies tasted really sweet, just as Jiang Moxi had imagined.

But after eating that piece of cookie, she was beaten half to death and then thrown out of the house, starving for two days, eventually reduced to fighting with stray cats near the trash can for food.

The fondness for cookies, the fear of cats, these were probably traumas left from that time.

And Si Ruo’s words struck right at the deepest wound in her heart, causing a change in her gentle eyes.

Si Lin, afraid that Si Ruo would make Jiang Moxi unhappy, was already prepared to scold Si Ruo.

But just then, Jiang Moxi suddenly said, "Let’s compete then, afraid you’ll be crying in the end!"

Shen Ruyi, upon hearing Jiang Moxi agreeing to the competition, could not help but snicker, "Miss Jiang, I think you may not know, Si Ruo is actually on the national shooting team. She has even won a gold medal for the team!"

Si Ruo was not afraid of Shen Ruyi revealing her true skills. After all, Jiang Moxi had already agreed to the competition. If she wanted to back out now, it would still be embarrassing.

So she only continued with a cold and mocking tone, "Some people are just shortsighted, not understanding that there are always higher mountains, and others better than them!"

"Ruoruo, enough! If you keep this nonsense up, don’t blame me for being rude, you too!"

Si Lin’s voice grew colder, the warning even evident in his deep eyes.

In the end, he also gave Shen Ruyi a cold glance.

That look made Shen Ruyi immediately hold back.

But unlike Shen Ruyi, Si Ruo was not afraid of Si Lin, so her sarcasm continued, "I’m not causing trouble; she agreed to the competition herself. If she wants to back out now, well, she can start by polishing my shoes!"

Just when Si Lin was about to punish Si Ruo, Jiang Moxi spoke up first: "Which eye of yours saw me backing down?"

Si Ruo instantly felt that her provocation had worked, looking at Si Lin excitedly, "Brother, you see, she herself wants to compete."

Si Lin looked at Jiang Moxi as if hating that she couldn’t grasp the situation, "She has no filter on her mouth, I’ll deal with her. Why did you agree to her?"

Yes, even Si Lin felt that in this competition, Jiang Moxi had no chance of winning.

Even though he had witnessed Jiang Moxi’s extraordinary talents, even though he felt that Jiang Moxi could handle a gun.

Yet he always believed that Jiang Moxi had no chance against Si Ruo of the national team in a shooting match.

But Jiang Moxi just looked coldly at him, "I want to teach her a lesson!"

Si Lin frowned slightly.

At this moment, the person in charge of the Hunting Ground came over to ask Si Lin if the competition was about to begin.

Si Lin, preoccupied with their squabbles, started arranging for the birthday party attendees to enter.

After all, the hunting competition had already been delayed for over an hour; if it didn’t start soon, it would be dark!
