Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 333: Are You Stupid?

"Because of Jingxi, how come?"

"Yesterday afternoon, while Rui and I were discussing a contract, Jingxi suddenly called him. I don’t know what they talked about, but he instructed me to book the earliest flight back."

Having gotten a rough idea of the situation, Lan Shan nodded and then sat down beside Ye Xinluo, reaching out to pat her shoulder, "Xinluo, did something happen?"

Her intuition told her that the call Jingxi made to Beichen Rui was most likely about Xinluo.

After about half a minute, she finally raised her head to look at her, "Shanshan, I wish I hadn’t come back then."

A bitter smile appeared on her lips... Yes, if she hadn’t come back then, she wouldn’t have met Beichen Rui, and she certainly wouldn’t be in this current situation!

Hearing her words, Lan Shan responded with exasperation, "If you hadn’t come back, would I never have seen you for the rest of my life? What happened? Tell me about it; keeping it all inside will only make you sick."

Taking a few deep breaths, she finally spoke, "I met Jiang Shihan yesterday."

"Jiang Shihan?" Lan Shan’s delicate brows did not furrow, "She came to you? What did she say?"

Ye Xinluo replied, "She gave me a check and told me to stay away from Beichen Rui."

"And you listened?"

Ye Xinluo shook her head, "He’s Jingxi’s father. As long as Jingxi is around, do you think it’s possible?"

"Then why do you look like you’ve lost your soul?" Lan Shan poked her in the head, "She told you to stay away from the president, and you obediently listened? Who does she think she is? The Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother of Heaven?"

Unable to hold it in, she burst out laughing at her words.

Seeing her laugh, Lan Shan hooked an arm around her, "I’m telling you, Jiang Shihan is just spoiled, thinking all the men in the world revolve around her. Anyone who doesn’t like her must have poor taste and no insight; it’s all thanks to her parents’ indulgence."

"How do you know so much?"

"It’s all gossip from the circles!" Lan Shan replied, "I also heard she likes our president, but the president doesn’t seem to like her."

"And also, she once told someone she’s the president’s fiancée, but who was it again? I forgot, let me think..."

After saying this, she pretended to think deeply. Hearing the word "fiancée," Ye Xinluo’s eyes suddenly dimmed. Looking at Lan Shan, she spoke softly.

"She told me."

"Huh?" Lan Shan looked at her, "You didn’t believe it, did you?"

Ye Xinluo smiled, "I’m serious, she told me she has an engagement with Beichen Rui."

"Are you stupid?" she said, pointing to her forehead, "You believe whatever she says? What if she’s lying to you?"

This was something Ye Xinluo hadn’t considered before. It was only after Lan Shan’s remark that she suddenly realized how silly she had been, feeling down for quite a while over other people’s words.

Lan Shan sat there chattering at her for quite some time, and just when she was getting into it, she suddenly sensed a cold gaze falling on her.

Unable to resist shivering, she turned her head to see that, unbeknownst to her, the president was standing not far away, watching them.

Lan Shan quickly withdrew her hand that was poking Ye Xinluo’s head and awkwardly smiled, "Xinluo, I’ll go get ready for the meeting now, bye." Saying that, she quickly made her escape.

Ye Xinluo was taken aback, unable to understand her actions. However, when Beichen Rui’s gaze fell upon her, she finally became aware of the situation.
