Xing Linlin’s face was filled with disdain. Since Nie Xi dared to splash wine on her, she had to pay the price. Tonight, not only would she ruin Xing Shu l s reputation, but she would also make the relationship between Nie Heng and Nie Xi public. However, she was afraid of offending Nie Heng, so she could only let Liu Chun do this. Liu Chun hated Xing Shu and Nie Xi, and she was also Liu Xiangru’s lapdog. Therefore, she was the perfect patsy for this job.
Xing Linlin said, “My brother told me that he saw Nie Heng and Nie Xi get a hotel room together. I’ve also seen them…”
When Liu Chun heard this, she was so angry that her scalp went numb. She clenched her fists. “Is what you said true?
Xing Linlin said, “Of course it’s true. Otherwise, why would these siblings—who aren’t related by blood—stay in the same room on a business trip? It’s not like the Nie family doesn’t have money.”
Liu Chun felt her hands tremble. Nie Heng actually…
Liu Chun said, “Linlin, thank you for telling me this news. I won’t let that b*tch, Nie Xi off! As expected, people who are friends with Xing Shu aren’t decent!
Seeing that Liu Chun’s emotions were in place, Xing Linlin began to groom her. “Xing Shu and Nie Xi will be coming over later. You’d better restrain your expression. If there’s anything, you can discuss it in private.” These words clearly struck a raw nerve. Liu Chun snarled, “Why should we discuss it in private?! I want to take this opportunity to expose the disgusting things Nie Xi has done. And Nie Heng, how could he?!” Angry people had no rationality. Liu Chun felt that she was about to explode from anger. She had to tell Liu Xiangru this news as soon as possible. That b*tch, Nie Xi actually dared to touch Nie Heng. Damn it!
Xing Linlin held Liu Chun’s arm. “Alright, don’t be angry. I told you this because I don’t want you to be kept in the dark. It’s about time. Let’s go down first.
However, Liu Chun had no rationality to speak of at this moment. She shook off Xing Linlin’s hand and stalked off first.
Xing Linlin looked at Liu Chun’s angry departing figure and sniggered. She lifted the hem of her dress and walked to the staircase. The hall was dazzling. The guests chatted with each other. Xing Linlin felt her entire body heat up, especially when she walked down the tall stairs in this expensive dress. She felt that she was the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone’s eyes were on her, and she saw Cheng Xingyang in the crowd.
Cheng Xingyang was wearing a suit, and his eyes were brimming with impatience. He did not even look at her, which made Xing Linlin very unhappy. However—on second thought—she would be able to interact with Cheng Lang with her current status. When the time came, she would not have to rely on Cheng Xingyang; she could have a better choice. Accompanied by elegant music, Xing Linlin walked downstairs—step by step—like a princess in a fairy
Suddenly, the door of the Xing residence opened. Xing Shu walked in wearing a white translucent lace dress. The man standing beside her was elegant and cold. The Buddhist bracelet on his wrist was especially dazzling. The man beside Xing Shu was Cheng Lang!
The entire hall instantly fell silent. How could anyone still notice Xing Linlin? They all looked at Cheng Lang in surprise. Cheng Lang rarely attended banquets. But wherever he appeared, he would definitely become the center of attention. And now, he and Xing Shu did not seem to be close. They did not even hold hands, but the two of them stood there and looked inexplicably compatible. No one knew what Cheng Lane’s presence meant. This was the first time he had brought a date to a banquet. No one knew if Xing Shu was Cheng Lang’s date. But at the very least, Xing Shu was not chased away by Cheng Lang despite standing so close to him.
For a moment, it was as if someone had pressed the mute button in the hall. Xing Linlin was only halfway down the stairs. At this moment, no one was looking at her. Her action of going downstairs was very awkward.
Xing Linlin had wanted to completely lord over Xing Shu today, but she did not expect Xing Shu to appear with Cheng Lang. In fact, Xing Shu t s aura was not suppressed by Cheng Lang. Xing Shu looked very charming and impressive.
The translucent lace dress made her exceptionally sexy. Standing beside Cheng Lang, they were extremely compatible! However, how was she worthy of standing beside Cheng Lang?
Xing Linlin’s face twisted with jealousy. Her fingers that were holding the railing tightened. She was the star of the show tonight—these gazes should be on her! However, Xing Shu and Cheng Lang at the door were too eye-catching. No one could tear their eyes away from them.
“President Cheng.” Someone called out respectfully, but he did not dare to go forward. The others also greeted Cheng Lang one after another, afraid of slighting him.
Cheng Lang nodded lightly and lowered his gaze to talk to Xing Shu..
