Chapter 87 - The Mysterious Daughter (1/2)
Finally, the time of the event arrived. By the time Halia stepped into the hall, half the guests were already mingling inside.
Most of the guests had met before or, at least, knew of each other, but when Halia walked in, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
She was stunning in her silver ball gown, a dress that obviously cost a lot, and next to her stood Natalie Shu, the famous secretary of Henry Feng, Chairman of Fengtai Corporation.
”Who is that?”
”I've never seen her before.”
”Why is she with Natalie Shu? Where's Chairman Feng?” the guests all whispered amongst themselves as they looked at the beautiful woman. They were all fascinated by her, especially the men. The wives in the hall quickly grabbed onto their husbands.
At that moment, the heir of the construction empire, Meng Corps, approached the two women and handed them each a glass of champagne.
”It's nice to see you again, Secretary Shu. Where's Chairman Feng today?” the man asked as he stole a glance at Halia.
”Chairman Feng couldn't make it today, but he sent Director Feng in his stead,” Natalie replied.
”Director Feng?”
People nearby overheard this conversation and word quickly spread around the hall. The woman next to Natalie Shu was Director Feng!
”It's a pleasure to meet you,” the man said as he placed a polite kiss on Halia's hand.
So...she was the infamous Director Feng. The mysterious eldest daughter of Henry Feng, Chairman of Fengtai Corporation. Everyone had heard about her, but no one had seen her for almost a decade. There were even rumors that she never appeared in public because she was extremely ugly, but it appeared, those rumors were all wrong.
At that moment, a tall, handsome man approached Halia with interest, ”Miss Haili, it's been a long time.”
Halia turned and looked at the man with confusion, ”Do I know you?”
The man's lips curved slightly into a smile, ”We met when we were kids, my father owns the Golden Dream Casino in Macau. Your father and my father are good friends.”
”Oh OK, sorry I don't remember you at all. That was a long time ago,” Halia replied.
