“It’s good that she’s not pregnant There won’t be a heir to take over Vientaine Group then, and it would still belong to the Shentu clan This is a good thing Let’s toast to that,” said one of Shentu Tianyin’s lasses in celebration

This was the only balance they could find now

Xia Lei could not hear what the Shentu clan was saying behind his back, but he would laugh if he could hear theer than thenorant of their own circumstances

Xia Lei was led Shentu Tianyin in toasts with the celebrities and established business These people had said words of mockery earlier, but each and every one of the Xia Lei toasts, trying to win his favour and get acquainted
