Chapter 65: She’s The One Who’s Unbecoming
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The engagement between the Xing family and the Cheng family had lasted for ten years, and their business had been very closely intertwined. If they really broke off the engagement, the Xing family would be in trouble if Cheng Gang left with all their clients. But, Xing Linlin did not care about the Xing family at all; she was adamant about marrying Cheng Xingyang and living in the lap of luxury. The jilted Xing Shu with her tarnished reputation was only worthy of staying in the gutter.
The lights in the Xing family’s living room were on; Xing Zewu was sitting on the couch and reading some documents. When he saw Xing Linlin, he put down the documents.
Xing Linlin pursed her lips and lowered her head aggrievedly. “Brother Xing, has the matter been resolved?” She was referring to Chen Ru’s visit to annul the engagement, which had embarrassed the Xing family greatly. The Xing family did not have a choice—although the Xing family was ranked among the top ten families in Beijing, it was due to the Cheng family. Without the Cheng family, the Xing family was only wealthy.
Xing Linlin sat on the couch cautiously. Her eyes were slightly red. “Xing Shu must have said those words in a fit of anger that day. If Aunt Chen really wants to annul the engagement, then is the Xing family…”
Xing Zewu turned his head and saw a swathe of bare skin on Xing Linlin’s neck.
He immediately felt his throat go dry. He looked away and pulled up Xing Linlin’s clothes. “You don’t have to worry about this. Even if the engagement with the Cheng family is annulled, the Xing family won’t collapse.”
Xing Linlin asked, “Brother Xing, are you aware of the auction overseas?”
Xing Zewu nodded. He had heard about it, but the Xing family was not qualified to receive an invitation at such an occasion.
Xing Linlin said, “I watched a live-stream of it and saw Xing Shu there. I don’t know who she went with. I’m always worried that Xing Shu will befriend unbecoming characters. She’s too innocent..
Xing Zewu frowned. “She’s innocent? She’s the one who’s unbecoming!”
Xing Linlin said, “Brother Xing, don’t be angry. I might have made a mistake. Why don’t you wait for Xing Shu to come back and ask her properly? Xing Shu is still angry with me. I don’t dare to call her.”
Xing Zewu said, “Linlin, the Xing family is also your home. Your status is not lower than Xing Shu’s. Don’t belittle yourself.”
Xing Linlin leaned against the couch. Her collar—which had just been pulled up —accidentally slipped down again, revealing a large swathe of her skin. Xing
Linlin had been well nourished ever since she was adopted by the Xing family.
Although she could only be considered delicate-looking, her skin was fair. Coupled with her gentle demeanor, men tend to be taken with her.
Xing Zewu had always liked Xing Linlin. Seeing her like this, he could not help but pull her into his arms. Xing Linlin pretended to struggle.
Xing Linlin said, “Brother Xing, let go of me. I can’t give you a concrete answer yet. It’s not good for us to be like this.” Her voice was very soft and deliberately coquettish. Xing Zewu’s breathing instantly became heavy, and he pressed Xing Linlin against the couch. “Linlin, I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes.”
Xing Linlin started to cry again as if she was very touched. Her tear-stained face made it difficult for Xing Zewu to continue, and he pulled her up.
Xing Linlin sobbed. “I’m still worried about Xing Shu. She refuses to see me now. Brother Xing, please counsel her if you can.”
At the mention of Xing Shu, Xing Zewu lost his mood. It was because of Xing
Shu that the Xing family was in so much trouble. His parents—who were at Chen Ru’s place—had gone to apologize, and he wondered how she would make things difficult for them. However, Xing Zewu did not want to reject Xing Linlin’s request, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Xing Linlin had achieved her goal, but she still felt uneasy at the lack of knowledge on how Xing Shu managed to attend the gala. If Xing Shu was brought there by Cheng Lang, she had to think of a way to bring Xing Shu down in Cheng Lang’s eyes. If she could bewitch Cheng Xingyang and Xing Zewu, she could also bewitch Cheng Lang. If Cheng Lang could have such feelings for her… Just thinking about it made her legs go weak.
Meanwhile, overseas.
The media guarding the entrance moved as soon as the gala ended, afraid of missing out on these big shots leaving. However, other than a few young Presidents who were willing to show their faces, everyone else chose to keep a low profile. Even so, the media still managed to grab headlines by snapping the car license plate numbers and making a big deal out of guessing the owners’ names..
