Chapter 19 - Old People Gossips (2/2)
”You must have gotten an invitation. You are the Madam Li after all.” Madam Su replied.
”Hmm… The Li Group did retract business from the Shen a few days ago. Maybe that is the reason you have not heard about it.”
”Maybe that is it.” Madam Li suddenly realized the reason why she, the great Queen, had not received an invitation.
”Do not worry much. I heard it is just some childish feelings among the younglings.”
”What do you mean?”
”I do not know much. But I heard from my daughter that Mr. Li was very intimate with Miss. Shen at a birthday party.”
This was the first time Madam Li heard about her son being intimate with another lady. That is impossible! Isn't it?
”What do you mean?” She asked.
”Well, Miss. Shen must have been heartbroken when the young Mr. Yang broke off their engagement. You know that Miss. Shen is a very proper and smart woman, knowing that she is single, many men must have approached her. Does your son not have feelings for such a lady?”
Madam Li pondered a bit. She would definitely know if Kris had feelings for a girl. Afterall… he is...
”You think my son like Miss. Shen?” She asked, even more curious.
'Is this the reason he has not been being home lately. And when she asked his secretary, he said that Kris has been drinking a lot more.'
”I do not know for sure. But seeing that people said they were intimate one day and then the next day, Shen Industry was banned from the Li Group. And then today she was dancing with the young Mr. Zhao. He was also at the party. Isn't obvious that she likes the young Mr. Zhao instead?”
Clueless to the young people, the adults' gossip was on a whole different level. Because Kris Li made sure the news on the kiss did not spread too much, a lot of people do not know. Only mostly the young people of the generation know about the real juice.
With that, the old people only heard snippets of the news and in the end, this was what they were spreading about.
”Do you think they would engage the two young ones soon? After all, their business partnership will just strengthen and improve from the relationship?”
”What are you going off about?! Isn't the young Mr. Li more suited for Miss. Shen? The dance is just formal between the two companies. What lady denies such a handsome man the young Mr. Li?”
Madam Huang interrupted Madam Su because Madam Li looked like she was not satisfied knowing that her son was rejected.
Madam Li excused herself to find her son. She needs to ask him some questions.
