“Miss Xing.” Jian Yaochuan greeted her and gestured for the chef behind him to carry the things into the kitchen. “Miss Xing, many of the things here have been processed in the hotel. I’ve invited the chef over to make lunch for you and the President.”
Xing Shu watched as the neatly dressed chef went to her small kitchen to busy himself. She regarded the whole scene with mirth. Perhaps this was the life of the rich.
Xing Shu thanked him and took the fruits to wash them. However, Jian Yaochuan took a step back and said in trepidation, “I’ll do it. Miss Xing, please sit. ”
Jian Yaochuan had been by Cheng Lang’s side for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen him go out in the middle of the night because of a woman. In the past, the only thing that could make Cheng Lang do this was work. But now, someone had broken this principle. Perhaps Cheng Lang had not realized it himself, but Xing Shu must be special to him.
Xing Shu stood in front of the dining table and felt that her small apartment was really very privileged today. Nie Xi looked at Cheng Lang with a smile, but Cheng Lang maintained his calm demeanor.
Nie Xi could not help but ask, “President Cheng, did you enjoy your stay last night?”
Cheng Lang looked up at Nie Xi. “So?”
Nie Xi replied, “So… President Cheng, are you going to accompany Xing Shu to the banquet tomorrow night?”
Not to mention Cheng Lang, even Xing Shu was shocked by Nie Xi’s words. She hurriedly went forward to stop her, but she saw Cheng Lang look up at her and ask, “You want me to go?” From a rational point of view, Cheng Lang could not find a reason for him to attend that boring banquet. However, if Xing Shu wanted him to go, he realized that he did not want to refuse.
Before Xing Shu could answer, Nie Xi spoke first. “The Xing family won’t let Xing Shu off, and Cheng Xingyang’s family won’t let her off either. In addition, there’s Liu Xiangru from the Liu family. And then, there’s the Feng Jian incident—the Feng family will probably also find trouble with Xing Shu.” Thinking of this, she was worried for Xing Shu.
Just then, Jian Yaochuan came out of the kitchen with fruits and said casually, “The Feng family won’t find trouble with Miss Xing Shu. Feng Jian has been sent overseas and it’s very difficult for her to come back. The President has already spoken to the Feng family—they won’t make things difficult for Miss Xing.” Jian Yaochuan realized that he had said too much. He quickly placed the fruit platter on the coffee table. “Miss Xing… Miss Nie, have some fruits.”
The fruits had been processed by the chef and carved into a beautiful shape. However, Xing Shu’s attention was not on the fruits now. She looked at Cheng
Lang and could not help but ask, “Did you speak with the Feng family?”
Cheng Lang pursed his lips and felt a little annoyed. He was used to doing things, not saying them. Hence, he felt a little uncomfortable when Jian
Yaochuan suddenly exposed what he had done. However, in the face of Xing Shu’s question, he still nodded.
Xing Shu did not expect Cheng Lang to help her get rid of a potential threat. Although Cheng Lang’s coldness was very hurtful, his occasional tenderness was also rather touching.
Nie Xi also covered her chest and said to Xing Shu, “Xing Shu, President Cheng is much more reliable than Nie Heng. I believe that after you two end things, President Cheng won’t be stingy, right?” The last sentence was directed at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang subconsciously frowned. “Don’t compare me to Nie Heng.”
A trace of sadness flashed across Nie Xi’s eyes. Then—right on the heels of that —she curled her lips into a mocking smile. “So, you also know that Nie Heng is a douchebag. It’s degrading to compare with him. However, that douchebag is still quite generous. At least, he gave Xing Shu 30 million last night.”
Cheng Lang immediately whipped out a credit card and placed it on the table, pushing it to Xing Shu.
Nie Xi:
Xing Shu:
Jian Yaochuan regarded this action with mirth as he silently poured water for the three of them. Then, he sat at the side and waited for Cheng Lang’s instructions.
Cheng Lang did not go to the office today. He had three virtual meetings in the morning and began going over the documents. The senior management needed to discuss the matter of MOOL again. The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle, and only the fragrance of food from the kitchen could be smelled.
Nie Xi was the first to react. She looked at the credit card on the coffee table and suddenly had a feeling that although Xing Shu and Cheng Lang would not have a future, at least Cheng Lang was not patronizing Xing Shu. She was muddle-headed about her own relationship, but she was very sharp about other people’s relationships. She knew that Cheng Xingyang was a douchebag a long time ago and advised Xing Shu to annul the engagement with him as soon as possible. However, Xing Shu was held back by the Xing family and could only be a tool for them and the Cheng family. Based on her own experience, Nie Xi hoped that Xing Shu would not get serious and give her heart to Cheng Lang.
If she could get some money, she should. A little something from someone like Cheng Lang would be more than enough for the average person to last three lifetimes..
