"She laughed twice, each laugh tinged with anger, ’Ling Chuxia, I should be asking you, can’t you stand up for yourself? Don’t you know you’re that bastard’s wife, the legitimate one? Now it looks like you’re being kept by him!’
Ling Chuxia’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. In fact, from the moment she saw Shi Che, she only had a slight reaction. Now, faced with the current scene, she didn’t have any reaction at all, just as calm as when she heard Xiao Zhao speaking in that shop.
It was as if she hadn’t heard Ji Xinxin’s words, her voice low and steady, ’Xinxin, let’s go up.’
Listening to Ling Chuxia, Ji Xinxin’s eyes, filled with anger, glared at her intensely. After a while, she suddenly laughed and went quiet.
Ling Chuxia pulled her along, turning back the way they came.
On the other side, Old Zhu drove the car up, and Xiao Zhao opened the door respectfully, inviting the lady and Shi Che to sit inside. The lady got in first. Just as Shi Che was about to sit, somehow, he lifted his eyes and looked straight ahead, coincidentally spotting the departing backs of Ji Xinxin and Ling Chuxia.
That familiar silhouette, that slender form—Shi Che recognized Ling Chuxia at a glance. His movements paused slightly, his dark eyes quickly became shadowed. He steadied himself for a moment, then lowered his gaze and got into the car.
Xiao Zhao closed the car door, swiftly moved to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and got in. Old Zhu started the vehicle and it slowly headed toward the exit.
Passing by the elevator entrance, Shi Che’s gaze, seemingly unintentionally, swept over it, just in time to see the side profile of Ling Chuxia, her face as calm and serene as ever.
Shi Che turned his face back expressionlessly, but his entire aura instantly turned cold, causing the atmosphere in the entire car to become inexplicably oppressive.
Old Zhu and Xiao Zhao had followed Shi Che for many years. Upon sensing this atmosphere, they naturally understood that their boss was in a bad mood, so they both instinctively held their breath, focusing inwardly and trying to minimize their presence.
The lady, however, was clueless. Everything had seemed fine just moments ago, so why did it suddenly become ? Although Shi Che was mostly expressionless, his face hadn’t suddenly turned this grim before.
The lady hadn’t known Shi Che for very long, so her understanding of him was understandably shallow. Despite having only met him a few times over the past few months, she was already over the moon.
After all, this was the prince of the Shi Family, the current leader of the Shi Group. Countless women were throwing themselves at him, trying every way to get close, yet only she had successfully attached herself to this golden benefactor, so how could she not be over the moon?"
