There were more people in the conference rooht ahen he walked in, and the one he didn’t want to see most, Gu Ke-Wen
Shentu Tian-Yin and Gu Ke-Wen spotted Xia Lei too and their reactions were coust while Shentu Tian-Yin stood and waved at Xia Lei
“Here, there’s a seat here” Shentu Tian-Yin’s words were friendly and she had a bright smile on her face
Xia Lei responded with a smile and walked towards her He didn’t knohy but he felt close and fa some updates about Shentu Ren’s condition
“Isn’t that Xia Lei?” whispered a business owner, “There was ahe’s Shentu Tian-Yin’s boyfriend - is it true?”
“It should be Look! Isn’t Shentu Tian-Yin greeting hi so familiarly - have either of us seen her smile before?” said another business owner
“Every dog has his day indeed A little-known punk actuallydirector of a company was uncoood at ‘that’ No one can do anything if the ice queen of Vientaine Group likes it,” said soet Shentu Tian-Yin’s favour He’ll marry into wealth,” someone said
The room was full of discussion and what soossip and speculation So heirs and future business owners were full of jealous hate and what they said was not pleasant to hear The ht this way - they would have been fine with it if Xia Lei was richer or outranked them socially but every one of theained the favour of Shentu Tian-Yin? It was like sticking a flower on cow dung to these people
Xia Lei was not deaf; he could hear the on He felt unco about it He couldn’t punch all those people discussing him, could he? If he did that, then he’d have to hit most of the people in the conference room
The best way to deal with it was take it calmly Xia Lei pretended to not have heard and walked to Shentu Tian-Yin She personally pulled a chair out for him and invited him to sit
“What have you been busy with the past few days?” Shentu Tian-Yin looked a little displeased, “You didn’t even give me a call”
Xia Lei did want to call her but he’d been worried that Liang Si-Yao would be jealous so he kept hiuessed that Shentu Tian-Yin would ask hiood answer He just sive you a call, but…”
“Miss Liang has you on a short leash, huh?” said Shentu Tian-Yin
Xia Lei laughed sheepishly and changed the topic “Oh, right, how is Uncle?”
Shentu Tian-Yin sruel now but he’s still very weak He can’t get out of bed and can’t speak”
“How long is he conscious per day?”
“He’s quite awake Soht hours” A smile appeared on Shentu Tian-Yin’s face at that “I played the ood ood Don’t be too anxious; take it slowly He needs some time to recover” Xia Lei was reassured
“You should pay him a visit He must want to meet you,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
“I’m afraid that that will have to wait I have to accompany my Master to Mount Emei for the martial arts seminar,” said Xia Lei
Shentu Tian-Yin let out a disappointed sigh and didn’t say more
Xia Lei also felt like his interactions with Shentu Tian-Yin were now rather aard and there was a little bit of loss and melancholy mixed in with it However, there was no way he could be in a relationshi+p with Liang Si-Yao where they were stuck together like glue and also play secret games with Shentu Tian-Yin He was not that sort of person and could not do so Si-Yao and Shentu Tian-Yin were also not h to accept each other’s existence

Hu Hou said a few lines of introduction and went straight to the main topic He talked about the requireet a booth, and so on At the end, he called out Gu Ke-Wen by nae

Only Xia Lei and Shentu Tian-Yin did not clap in that conference room
Gu Ke-Wen spoke with assurance into the microphone, “I’ll just say a few sirated these days and ho do business cannot always focus on the do products which are suitable for foreign e of our human resources so if products are matched up with this, ill succeed Nice Moves succeeded because of this reason We just researched the product which would most suit the European and A directors of co with her speech and clapped at every appropriate opportunity, helping Gu Ke-Wen keep herto the atmosphere in the conference roo in suitors either
Shentu Tian-Yin had no interest in listening further She touched Xia Lei’s thigh with the back of her hand
Xia Lei lowered his voice, “What is it?”
Shentu Tian-Yin also lowered her voice, “I kno she got her hands on Nice Moves Sports Equip such an upfront robber Really, Mayor Hu, why let her usted by that pretence of hers”
Xia Lei thought of Liu Ying and sighed “The world’s never been fair You have to fight for fairness yourself She’s done so many bad deeds - she’ll have her retribution sooner or later”
