She was holding a bag of vegetables in her hand. When she saw them coming out together, she could not help but start to persuade Cheng Lang. “Young man, what future can you have by being with this young lady? How much can she give you a month? My niece has five properties. As long as you’re willing, she can give two to you and you’ll be set for life. Think about it again. With your looks, you should find a better one.”
Everyone loved beauty, let alone Cheng Lang, who was such a prepossessing sight. The neighbor felt that her arrogant niece would definitely like him. Xing Shu watched with mirth. Seeing Cheng Lang quicken his pace, she hurriedly followed him. Behind her, the neighbor was still nagging, “Why are you so stubborn?”
After entering the elevator, Xing Shu suppressed her laughter and secretly glanced at Cheng Lang’s face. His lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were sharp. Even the temperature of the elevator had dropped by a few degrees. Xing Shu wanted to cajole him, but the elevator door opened. She saw the man standing outside—Cheng Xingyang.
Cheng Xingyang’s pupils constricted as he stared at Cheng Lang and Xing Shu in the elevator. His mind was like a computer that had crashed, and he did not know how to react.
After a long time, Cheng Xingyang said in a hoarse voice, “Young Uncle, why are you here?” Why was he at Xing Shu’s apartment? He knew that Cheng Lang was fastidious and germophobic. He was very particular about things and his personal space. Only Jian Yaochuan could get close to him. But now, Xing Shu’s arm was almost touching Cheng Lang’s arm. Such an intimate distance…
Cheng Xingyang’s face turned pale. His mind was wild with thoughts, but he did not dare to think about the most terrifying aspect.
Cheng Lang kept a poker face. He stepped out of the elevator. “I’m here to look for Xing Shu.” He did not know how to lie, and he disdained lying.
Cheng Xingyang’s body froze, and his lips began to tremble. He stared at Xing Shu in disbelief.
Xing Shu smiled. “I’m on leave today. Cheng Corporation Group has been discussing whether to invest in MOOL. I was the one who prepared the information on MOOL. Something came up, so President Cheng came to look for me. Jian Yaochuan was also here just now. Anything else?” She was explaining on behalf of Cheng Lang.
Cheng Xingyang looked at Xing Shu’s high -collared clothes and felt his chest tighten. If it were anyone else, he would definitely believe it. However, that was Cheng Lang. He rarely even went to the family home, let alone the home of any senior management. But other than this explanation, what else could it be? It couldn’t possibly be that his high and mighty Young Uncle had an improper relationship with Xing Shu, right? No, Young Uncle wouldn’t.
Cheng Xingyang secretly mocked himself for thinking too much. Although Xing Shu was a real looker, it was not enough to bewitch Young Uncle.
Cheng Xingyang looked at Xing Shu. “Xing Shu, you gave 10 million yuan to the Xing family. How generous. Are you so eager to cut ties with the Xing family? You have to know that without the protection of the Xing family in the future, anyone can bully you.”
Xing Shu did not even deign to look at Cheng Xingyang in disdain. “When I was in the Xing family, I didn’t treat the Xing family as my backer. As for what you said about anyone bullying me, let them try.”
Cheng Xingyang’s eyes hurt from Xing Shu’s resolute attitude. When Xing Shu passed by him, he could not help but grab Xing Shu’s wrist and ask in a hoarse voice, “Xing Shu, have you ever liked me… even a little…” He did not know why he asked, but he was indignant. Xing Shu was clearly not that important to him. Moreover, she did not know etiquette, integrity, and shame. She had slept with another man when she was his fiancée. But even so… After knowing that he was going to annul the engagement with Xing Shu tomorrow night, he panicked. He began to think about everything that had happened between him and Xing Shu all these years. Why? Why did he get involved with Xing Linlin back then? He probably felt that Xing Shu was too aloof. When she faced him, she did not have any feelings at all, as if it was his one-sided love.
When he was in school, Xing Shu’s grades were good. So when he visited her excitedly with his homework, Xing Shu would ask him if he had any problems. She was independent and strong, unlike a woman. On the other hand, Xing Linlin pestered him every day to ask all kinds of questions. She would even show a look of admiration, giving Cheng Xingyang an immense sense of satisfaction. All the emotional fulfillment he did not get from Xing Shu, he got it from Xing Linlin. So, what was wrong with him liking Xing Linlin?Besides, Xing Shu has slept with another man. She was tainted..
