Chapter 98 Why Should I Apologize? (1/2)
After hearing this, Xia Yongqiang's face turned ugly indeed. Xia Wan hid her sarcastic eyes and said regretfully, ”Grandpa, I'll talk to A Miao later when I have the chance. Now I have to go and accompany Youran.”
”Don't worry about it. Go to the Bai family.” Xia Yongqiang quickly regained his mood. On today's occasion, he could not lose face in front of outsiders.
A Miao pushed Shen Xinglan toward the rest area. Originally, she wanted to stand at the side, but Shen Xinglan could not bear to let her get tired. Anyway, he was unable to move today and did not have to deal with those people.
”Is it really not necessary to push you around to say hello?” A Miao asked him uncertainly.
Shen Xinglan looked around at the venue coldly. ”No, they will come naturally later.”
Indeed as expected, someone came up to talk after a short time. With the first, there would then be the second. These people were all old foxes in the business circles. They knew that Shen Xinglan was not feeling well. No one stayed to show off in an ostentatious manner, and they all left after being seen.
”See the woman next to Director Shen? She's beautiful.”
”I don't know whether she had the cosmetic surgery or it was like the newspaper said...”
”Tut! Don't be silly, she must have the cosmetic surgery.”
Many people in the meeting room were secretly discussing A Miao. The more one woman listened, the uglier her face became. Finally, she took a glass of champagne from the waiter and walked toward Shen Xinglan.
”Long time no see. You have completely changed.”
A Miao had already caught sight of Ji Xue. She looked at her resentful face with indifference while tilting her head. ”It wasn't long. It was only two months.”
Ji Xue snorted coldly and looked at Shen Xinglan. ”Do you really like her? Or it is just for those eyes?”
”None of your business.” Shen Xinglan looked at her with a straight face. ”Last time I warned you not to provoke A Miao or you will not be sent abroad next time.”
”It was you!” Ji Xue stared at Shen Xinglan with a face full of resentment. ”You hurt me.”
A Miao suddenly began to accuse her. ”If you didn't hurt someone first, why would someone hurt you?”
”Shut up!” Ji Xue took two steps forward. It looked like she wanted to hit them.
Shen Xinglan stared at her. ”If you want me to kick you to death, come here.”
”You...” Ji Xue bit her lips and ground her teeth and unwillingly asked, ”Why? For this woman?”
”She is my fiancee and my woman.” Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows. ”Besides, my A Miao said correctly, did I make you come to the party? Did I make you undress?”
Ji Xue covered her ears and shook her head. ”Stop talking!”
”If you don't want to hear it, you shouldn't appear in front of us.” Shen Xinglan said coldly, ”Remember what I said: next time, it will not be as simple as going abroad.”
Looking at Ji Xue's stumbling departure, A Miao always felt something was wrong.
”What do you think?” Shen Xinglan thought she was scared when she suddenly became expressionless. ”Don't worry, I'll send someone to keep an eye on her when she returns home. Even if she really wants to do something, she won't be able to hide it from me.”
A Miao scowled. ”Don't you think her attitude is a little strange?”
”Who cares what her attitude is?” Shen Xinglan said with a face of coldness and did not look carefully at Ji Xue.
”By the way, not only her, but also Bai Lu has returned.”
A Miao opened her mouth. Shen Xinglan knew what she wanted to ask and then explained, ”Ji Xue has been with Bai Lu since she went abroad.”
”Is this a collusion...” A Miao sighed in some distress and glared at Shen Xinglan again. ”It's all your fault!”
Shen Xinglan took her hand. ”I know that these things have wronged you. Give me some time to solve them. But you need to promise not to contact these people in private and not to give them a chance to hurt you.”
A Miao curled her lip, wanting to say that if somebody else really wanted to do something, you also could not prevent it, then she heard Shen Xinglan say a sentence.
”Don't let yourself have an accident, because I will feel distressed if you have any accident.”
”I know...” A Miao tilted her head, embarrassed to look at him.
Shen Xinglan tugged at her hand. ”Go and get something to eat.”
A Miao turned to see another person coming. Presumably, there was something important to talk about, so she nodded and went to the table next to her to eat.
”Don't go too far.” Shen Xinglan immediately said, ”Just right by my side, where I can see you.”
The words were very loud, and all the people around heard them. Several men who came to visit Shen Xinglan teased him with a smile. ”Director Shen is always so considerate. I don't know when you can invite us to drink the wedding wine!”
”No hurry, it will be soon.”
A Miao stood a few steps away from them and could not help laughing at their occasional jokes. She felt that this guy Shen Xinglan had no shame and could say anything.
”Do you think he really likes you?” Suddenly, someone reached out hands and took the cake she wanted to eat.
A Miao raised her head and, not surprisingly, saw Bai Lu.
