The private room fell into dead silence. Only Mrs. Bai’s suppressed sobs could be heard.
On the other side, Shen Hanxing returned home and was surprised to find a stranger sitting in the living room.
“Sister-in-law!” Seeing Shen Hanxing, Ji Qian’s eyes instantly lit up. She went forward and cheered, “You’re back!” She eagerly took the bag from Shen Hanxing’s hands. Then, she winked at Shen Hanxing and gestured, “This person… came with ill intentions.” This guest had a cold expression as soon as she entered. She showed no reaction when others spoke to her. It was extremely awkward.
Shen Hanxing knocked on Ji Qian’s forehead in amusement. “It’s okay. I’m here. You can go upstairs and study.”
“Hmm… I shouldn’t do that, right?” Ji Qian was a little tempted. She indeed hated the person sitting in the living room. However, she was afraid that Shen Hanxing wouldn’t be able to handle it alone. She bit her lip hesitantly. “Why don’t I entertain the guest together with you? Hmm… In the worst case, I’ll study harder at night!” She couldn’t let her sister-in-law face the risk alone. She had better keep Shen Hanxing company!
“Go up.” Shen Hanxing smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Shen Hanxing acted firm and confident. Ji Qian nodded and agreed swiftly. Seeing Ji Qian heading upstairs happily, Wei Xi’er showed a complicated expression. “Mrs. Ji, you are quite close to the younger brothers and sisters of the Ji family.” Even her older brother, Wei Yong tried to convince her to approach Shen Hanxing. The younger brother, Wei Ling had a good impression of Shen Hanxing too. He was especially obedient in front of her.
“They are all very good. We get along very well.” Shen Hanxing nodded and said to Wei Xi’er, “Miss Wei, you came because you have something to say, right?” As soon as she sat down, the maid served some fresh fruit juice which was her favorite.
Shen Hanxing and Wei Xi’er’s last meeting didn’t go well because of Zhuang Li. Wei Xi’er seemed to be a very arrogant woman. There must be a reason why she came to visit after the previous incident.
“I came to see you, Mrs. Ji.” Wei Xi’er went straight to the point. Although her expression was a little awkward, she quickly calmed down. “I have something to tell you.”
Did Wei Xi’er come here to see her? Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. She had heard that Wei Xi’er was a smart person. After returning to the country, she did not work for the Wei Corporation. Instead, she started her own company. She was in the limelight. Many people in the industry praised her.
“Miss Wei, let’s get to the point.” Shen Hanxing did not like to beat around the bush. She drank a mouthful of fruit juice and said plainly, “I think you wouldn’t like to spend too much time and courtesy with me.”
Wei Xi’er was reluctant to see Shen Hanxing again. She had mixed feelings. Zhuang Li criticized Shen Hanxing badly. It was fair to say that he hated Shen Hanxing. However, her older brother, Wei Yong, and her younger brother, Wei Ling, were full of praise for Shen Hanxing. Wei Xi’er wondered which one was true. Were her brothers mesmerized by Shen Hanxing? Or had Zhuang Li misunderstood Shen Hanxing? There was such a huge difference in their impression of each other. But no matter what, Shen Hanxing was impressive.
Lowering her eyes, Wei Xi’er touched the cup in her hand and said, “I misunderstood you last time, thinking that you had something with Zhuang Li. I’m sorry.”
Shen Hanxing shrugged and said, “It’s okay. It’s fine as long as you know it now.” She was in an empty room with Zhuang Li alone. It was indeed misleading. Therefore, she did not feel that Wei Xi’er was at fault. However, Wei Xi’er would only end up badly if she stubbornly believed Zhuang Li. After all, Zhuang Li was a heartless man.
“It’s good that you don’t mind.” Wei Xi’er heaved a sigh of relief and took out a document from her bag. “You should have known that I started a company after I returned to China.”
Wei Xi’er started an entertainment company. Recently, she signed a lot of potential rising stars. It was all over the news that Wei Xi’er started the entertainment company.
