Chapter 528 - I Account for My Conduct (1/2)

The private room was pushed open from the outside and the three people who were chatting leisurely turned to look at the door, only to see Shen Mo entered with a gloomy face. The temperature of the room dropped several degrees, too.

“Cousin Shen, you come.” Ruyi Tower was Xia Mingde’s turf and as the owner, he was supposed to greet him. With a smile, Xia Mingde reached his hand to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo casually reached his hand with an indifferent attitude, “Hello, Uncle Xia. Hearing that Uncle Xia is in S city, I come to visit you in particular.”

Facing Xia Mingde, Shen Mo didn’t feel guilty. No matter how others suspected him, he felt he was innocent and fearless because he didn’t do it indeed.

“I’ve just arrived. Take a seat.” Xia Mingde smiled a bit and invited Shen Mo with a gesture.

As regards this First Young Master of Shen Family, he was not his acquaintance but he heard much news about him including praise and criticism. No matter people liked or disliked him, they all admired his capability.

Xia Mingde attached importance to such a young man.

“Thank you, Uncle Xia.” After Shen Mo greeted Yang Weiye and President Ning, he sat down aside at his ease.

Second Brother hurried up to serve them with tea. Shen Mo said thank you, took a sip and said, “First-class green tea. Good tea!”

“I didn’t expect Cousin Shen is a tea person. I thought only people of our age like tea.” Xia Mingde added aside with a smile.

“Tea culture is an important part of Zhonghua culture. As a Hua Xia person, if I don’t understand tea, can I be counted as a Hua Xia person?” Shen Mo said with a smile.

Xia Mingde nodded to show his consent, “Uncle Shen is right.”

After the two people talked about tea for a while, Shen Mo shifted the topic to Xia Yu’s matter a few days ago. Xia Mingde came here for it, too. Shen Mo was supposed to give an explanation, “Uncle Xia, our businessmen worship ‘peace makes fortune’. But sometimes we provoke people. This time I don’t know who framed me. Uncle Xia, please rest assured. I’ll find the culprit and give Uncle Xia and Xia Yu an explanation.”

Shen Mo’s voice sounded indisputable and firm. Although Shen Mo thought himself innocent, all current evidence they had pointed to him.

Now he was a suspect. No matter how moody he was, he had to explain.

Xia Mingde nodded and said, “After I came here, I learned the basic situation. That matter does have quite a few doubts. So I came here to investigate it.”

Xia Mingde didn’t conceal his purpose of coming over and he exchanged opinions with Shen Mo on that matter. Of course, he now was not sure Shen Mo did it. He didn’t believe Shen Mo was innocent, either.

As regards Xia Mingde’s attitude, Shen Mo was very satisfied. It was assuring that Xia Mingde didn’t blame it on him like others.

Now Shen Mo hadn’t gotten any news yet but he believed that in S city he could find anyone and it was only a matter of time.

After talking with Xia Mingde, Shen Mo shifted his eyes to Yang Weiye, “President Yang, I come here this time to visit Uncle Xia and to exchange my opinions with you on some business.”

“Good. Lao Xia, would you get another private room for us. I want to talk with Shen Mo.” Yang Weiye stood up after saying so. He had no reason to turn down a subordinate who wanted to talk business with his boss.

“Lao’er, arrange another private room for President Yang and Cousin Shen.” Xia Mingde said to Second Brother.

“Yes, master,” Second Brother then turned to look at Yang Weiye and Shen Mo, “President Yang, Young Master Mo, come with me.”

President Ning frowned aside. What did this child want to do? How should he chase Yang Weiye here? President Ning earlier heard much about Shen Mo’s rumors, which he didn’t want to believe. Now he could see with his own eyes so he decided to re-understand this child.

Selfish and only interest-oriented without minding the occasion and courtesy. This impression was what Shen Mo gave to President Ning. President Ning sighed sentimentally that time did change a person.

Although only a few years passed, Young Masters of Shen Family all changed. Shen Yan was no longer a playboy who frolicked all day and flirted with girls.

Shen Qiang changed, too. He grew not only taller but also maturer. He was also more stubborn and became a headache.

“Lao Ning, drink tea.” Xia Mingde, of course, was aware of Shen Family’s affairs. However, he, as their relative-to-be, couldn’t interrupt. Shen Family’s affairs should be left to Shen Family only.

“Drink tea!” President Ning recognized he was absent-minded just now. He smiled and raised his cup to invite Xia Mingde.

At this moment, Second Brother led Shen Mo and Yang Weiye to a nice private room and served them tea before he left. Only Yang Weiye and Shen Mo remained in the private room.

“Why do you come to me?” Yang Weiye raised his teacup and asked Shen Mo while staring at him.

“I heard that you’re going to sign an agreement with Xia Family in the afternoon. Is this true?” Shen Mo didn’t waste time. He asked Yang Weiye directly.
