Chapter 742 - 742 What Could Shen Hanxing Do?
742 What Could Shen Hanxing Do?
“How dare you eavesdrop on others! Don’t you have any manners?” Su Ling gritted her teeth and wiped her face forcefully. Shen Hanxing was already very familiar with Zheng Youcai and Wang Qin, so she did not have to dress up when they met. Shen Hanxing was only wearing a long, pure-colored dress, which exposed her fair arms. They were so white that no one dared to look at her directly. The rope of the clothing outlined her slender waist, and her long hair was let down casually. She looked casual and elegant, but what about Su Ling? Su Ling’s eyes were filled with embarrassment as she subconsciously grabbed the cloth around her abdomen.
Su Ling was wearing flats and a slightly loose cotton dress because she was pregnant. She did not put on any makeup at all. She was a pretty girl from a humble family. But in front of Shen Hanxing, she looked even more ordinary. In addition, she had just cried, so her eyes were red and swollen. There were even tear stains on her face. She began to regret coming over on impulse. How could she be compared to Shen Hanxing?
“I didn’t eavesdrop. It’s all your fault for being so loud, Mrs. Lu. I could still hear her even if I didn’t want to,” Shen Hanxing said with a smile.
“You!” Su Ling was so angry that she was about to explode. At that moment, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, Su Ling’s eyes flickered, and she looked at Shen Hanxing with pride. No matter what, Lu Shaoyang was her husband now, and she was the final winner. She felt much better when she thought about this. When she picked up the phone, her voice was much sweeter than before. “Brother Shaoyang? I’ve only been out for a while, and you’re already calling me? Did you miss me?” She raised her voice and emphasized her words, afraid that Shen Hanxing could not hear her clearly.
On the other end of the call, Lu Shaoyang was silent for a moment before he said, “It’s not convenient for you because you’re pregnant, so I’m at the cafe. Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up.”
“Come over? No, you can’t!” Su Ling had just realized the stark contrast between her and Shen Hanxing. She could not bear to let Lu Shaoyang see this with his own eyes! She raised her voice unconsciously and said sharply, “No, Brother Shaoyang, don’t come over here! I don’t need you to pick me up.”
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you so excited?” Lu Shaoyang’s voice was a little confused. He suddenly said, “I see you. Stand there and don’t move.”
No, Su Ling’s pupils were wide open. It was unclear whether it was fear or something else on her face. She subconsciously looked towards the door and saw Lu Shaoyang standing there, waving at her with his phone in his hand and then walking over.
Shen Hanxing remembered seeing Lu Shaoyang when she had just returned to the country. He still had a sunny and youthful look. But after they married, his face was still the same, and the bright and cheerful character had disappeared. He had also lost a lot of weight, and the bangs on his forehead hung down, making him look a little lonely.
“Brother Shaoyang, I…” Su Ling opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. She could only stand in front of Lu Shaoyang to block his view. How was she going to face Lu Shaoyang, who was full of anticipation? How was she going to tell him that not only did she fail to convince her parents to lend her money, but she had even angered them?
Lu Shaoyang didn’t see Shen Hanxing immediately because of the seats and the screen. He pursed his lips and walked over to Su Ling with anticipation. “Su Ling, have you finished talking to your parents? You’re also pregnant, so it’s been hard on you to run around for family matters.”
“Brother Shaoyang, I…” Su Ling opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. She could only stand in front of Lu Shaoyang to block his view. How was she going to face Lu Shaoyang, who was full of anticipation? How was she going to tell him that not only did she fail to convince her parents to lend her money, but she had even angered them? Su Ling was embarrassed and angry at the same time, and her face was red. What was even more unacceptable to her was that Shen Hanxing was sitting at the back, watching her as if she was watching a show.
“What’s wrong? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Lu Shaoyang was a little anxious. He had been in a lot of conflicts with his family because of his dissatisfaction with the marriage, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t care about the Lu Corporation, nor did it mean that his relationship with Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu was not close. After all, they were his parents. Now that his family was in trouble, he was also anxious. He was grateful to Su Ling for helping him at this critical moment. He even thought that his parents’ decision might not have been unreasonable. If he had married Shen Hanxing, born in the slums, what could Shen Hanxing do in such a situation? She couldn’t do anything. However, Su Ling was different. As the only daughter of the Su family organization, Su Ling represented strong financial power and resources. Perhaps he would never be able to love Su Ling. But he thought that as long as Su Ling helped the Lu family organization through its difficulties, he would treat her well in the future.
