Chapter 65 A Close Contact With the Man With Purple Pupils(3)


    She heard the wind bells from the third floor when she was about to go downstairs. She stopped, and


    she remembered the man with purple pupils.


    “Is he still there?” She then began walking upstairs, and soon she found herself at the door of the room.


    She looked around and pushed the door open when she found there was no one nearby.


    But when she got in the room, she was a little bit disappointed, because things couldn’t be more normal


    in the room. The table was standing on the ground, and the tea set was ced on the table. And the


    basketball below the hoop was also lying on the floor motionlessly. The mysterious man was nowhere


    to be seen.


    “Where is he?” Venus thought. She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that man has


    many superpowers, and maybe he was just hiding somewhere because he didn’t want to be bothered.


    Then Venus walked in the room again and checked every corner that could be used as a hiding ce,


    but she still didn’t find him. She then called him gently: “Hi, are you in here? I know you are hiding


    somewhere,e out now. I need to ask you something. If you don’te out, I’ll ask someone to


    come and find you! Hey, where are you!”


    But there was no response, and the silence in the room was absolute without her voice. Venus was


    then certain the man was no longer there, and she left the room.


    She got to the first floor, and Mrs Qin said to her cheerily: “Ms Mu, the breakfast is now ready.”


    Venus nodded. She looked around and didn’t find Kerry. And she asked: “Has Kerry Left?”


    Mrs Qin was very d that she asked about him. She thought Venus finally began caring for Kerry.


    “Yes. He went to thepany early in the morning.”


    “I see.” Venus nodded carelessly. She looked at her watch and said: “I must go to school now or I’ll be


    late. I won’t eat the breakfast.”


    John asked a chauffeur to drive her to school, and Venus got off the car before they arrived and she


    walked the rest distance.


    She and Kerry had got married for a long time, but she was aware that their marriage was not the result


    of love. She knew there were many uncertainties in this marriage although she still didn’t know the


    reason at that particr moment. It was possible that she would be single the next day.


    She got to her ss and she was a lot rxed when she saw so many familiar people. She went to her


    seat and began organizing her materials.


    Xinyou Qiao was sitting in front of her, she looked back and saw Venus’s fancy clothes, and she felt a


    pang of jealousy. Xiuyou was once the envy of the ss, but Venus took her ce since she got


    married with Kerry, and that, she couldn’t ept. She was so envious of Venus now and she also got


    determined to marry into a grand family.


    “Xinyou, do we have the shortlist for the award of the activity called “Fashion and Soul” which is


    conducted by our school?” Venus asked kindly.


    Xinyou felt another twinge of jealousy. She managed to calm herself down and said: “Yes. There are


    ten finalists and we both are on the list. I’m so d. It will be easier for us to get a good job after


    graduation when we have this good grade.”


    Venus also smiled happily. She put in so much effort in her two works and both of them were on the list.


    Her efforts really payed off. She didn’t care too much about her rank. She was happy as long as her


    works are recognized.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Xinyou then smiled suddenly and she said: “This contest will be made public. All the works on the


    shortlist will be judged and ranked again. Besides, some famouspanies are invited toe to the


    contest.”


    Venus was surprised. She asked curiously: “Why will they be invited?”


    “They are invited to be the judges, of course. That is to say, they will determine which work gets the


    highest rank, and which gets the lowest.”


    Venus understood. “That is to say our rank will possibly determine what kind ofpany will we get in.”


    “Right, you will have a better chance if you ranked high. We will graduate soon and we will need to find


    an internship, and we won’t need to go to interviews if we are chosen by somepany beforehand.”


    Venus was looking rather calm. She said tly: “This is indeed a good chance.”


    “Whether we win this award or not, we will be better off than these students who are not on the list. So,


    try your best!” Xinyou was very confident to win the award.


    Venus’ brow furrowed when she saw Xinyou was so confident. Because there are many talented


    students in the school and it was not an easy task to even get onto the list, to say nothing about wining


    the award. They still have much room for improvement and they must keep learning. It was impossible


    to stand out with their current capability.


    She wanted Xinyou to be more humble and she said: “Xinyou, there are much more people who are


    better than us. So we must work harder, and we still have a long way to go.”


    Xinyou’s face darkened all of a sudden. She thought Venus was telling her that she should not forget


    that her work was actually designed by Venus and she should stop being so arrogant.


    “Xinyou?” Venus said carefully because she noticed Xinyou was not feeling happy.


    Xinyou managed to suppress her anger. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down and said coldly:


    “I see. I will keep what you told me in mind.”


    “Good.” Venus smiled.


    ......


    Kerry was looking at thepany’s financial statement of that season, when he heard some slow


    steps. He looked up and saw Henry Zhang was standing in front of his desk, and Henry asked


    respectfully: “Young master, are you looking for me?”


    Kerry looked at him and said coldly: “I want you to do a background check on Xinyou Qiao, find out


    everything about her and figure out whether that design is truly hers.” He was ying with his pen


    casually and his eyes were gleaming softly.


    Henry memorized what he said and replied: “Yes, Master.” Then Kerry waved his hand and Henry left.


    Kerry then lounged back in his chair and he jabbed his slender finger on the table. His mind went back


    to that night......


    He got mixed feelings when he learned it was Xinyou who made that design. At first he had great


    expectations for her, but now his expectations were reced by doubts.


    He recalled that night dimly. She was so innocent, so sweet, and she smelt like lemon, which was very


    lovely. And then, he opened his eyes suddenly, because he was rather familiar with that smell. Venus


    also smelt like that. But how is it possible? How could Venus, a slut, be the woman in his memory! The


    woman in his memory is innocent and wonderful, and Venus is just a slut!


    “Maybe the smell is just a coincidence.” Kerry thought.


    Kerry was furious every time he remembered the first time he slept with Venus because he found out


    she was not a virgin anymore. He would surly kick her out of the family and divorce her had it not been


    for the fact that she was still useful to the family.


    At that time, someone knocked the door. Kerry recollected himself and said: “Come in.”


    Secretary Liu walked in, passed a document to him and said in a light voice: “Director Ye, Nanhua


    University held a contest for the best design works, which is called “Fashion and Soul” and you are


    invited to be a guest. Here is the shortlist of candidates. You can decide whether you want to go or not.
