Feng Daxiang sighed. “Linlin has been sensible since she was young. When she was here, she would always follow behind Xing Shu. Xing Shu matured early and had a quiet personality. Back then, someone wanted to adopt Xing Shu but she asked to be adopted with Linlin. Of course, the adopter refused. So, Xing Shu refused the adoption. Xing Shu was very outstanding, and there were many people who wanted to adopt her. She stayed in the welfare home for a few more years—for Linlin’s sake—until the Xing family came looking for her.” Nostalgia flooded Feng Daxiang’s face as he took a walk down memory lane. “At that time, Xing Shu cried and asked the Xing family to adopt Xing Linlin as well. The Xing family was quite hesitant. It wasn’t easy for them to find their biological daughter, so how could they want another burden? However, Xing Shu insisted. In the end, Xing Linlin left with her. I was worried that Linlin would be bullied after she left. I didn’t expect Xing Shu to protect her very well.”
As Feng Daxiang spoke, he patted Xing Shu’s shoulder. “Xing Shu, you’re stubborn and won’t say anything even if you’re wronged. Now that Linlin has a boyfriend, I’m more worried about you. When you have a boyfriend, bring him over for me to take a look and I will help you ‘interview’ him.”
director to say so much in front of Cheng Xingyang, as if she was indebted to Xing Shu. Although this was the truth, Xing Linlin still felt uncomfortable. Cheng Xingyang who had his arm around Xing Linlin suddenly felt uneasy and slowly retracted his arm.
Xing Shu did not care about Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin’s expressions. Instead, she looked at Feng Daxiang gratefully. “Don’t worry, Director. When I have a boyfriend. I’ll definitely bring him to let you take a look.”
Feng Daxiang nodded. “You’ve never been one to worry me. Looking at Linlin now, I know that you’ve taken very good care of her after bringing her back to the Xing family. However, don’t always take care of others and neglect yourself. You have to be happy too.”
Xing Shu felt a lump in her throat after hearing Feng Daxiang’s words. She held her emotions in check and said, “Yes, I did take good care of Xing Linlin. She got to know her boyfriend through me too.”
Feng Daxiang was a little surprised. “Really? So you are the one who introduced him to her. Then there must be no problem with his character.”
Xing Shu looked at Feng Daxiang with mirth he clearly did not know anything about the truth. But, his every word pierced the hearts of Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin. She looked at Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang. “Yes, there’s no problem. The two of them are a perfect match.” One was a scumbag and the other was a mistress. She wished them “happily ever after”.
The faces of Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang darkened. Anger swept through Xing Linlin. Her hands that were hanging by her side—clenched tightly and her nails dug into her palms. How dare Xing Shu—that b*tch—make snide remarks about her in front of the director! And then, there was the director he had always been biased towards Xing Shu. What a waste of the things she bought tonight! The director was really blind at his age. Didn’t he see that Xing Shu didn’t buy anything and came empty-handed? Yet, he kept siding with Xing Shu with his words.
Xing Linlin took a deep breath and tried her best to maintain the gentle smile on her face. “Director, these are the two bodyguards I hired. With them protecting you in the future, what happened tonight won’t happen again.” Feng Daxiang nodded. “Alright. Linlin, you’re very considerate.”
Xing Linlin saw that the focus had finally returned to her. She pointed at the gifts on the table. “These are for the children. I came in a hurry this time and didn’t prepare much. I’ll get someone to send more over when I get back.” After saying that, she grabbed Cheng Xingyang’s sleeve coquettishly. “Cheng Xingyang, what do you think?”
Cheng Xingyang instinctively glanced at Xing Shu. He knew that Xing Shu had long known about his relationship with Xing Linlin, but this was the first time he had flirted with Xing Linlin in front of her. Previously—during the dinner at the Xing family they were very restrained. Now, everything was out in the open. He could not explain what he was feeling now. On the one hand, he wanted to get back at Xing Shu mercilessly. On the other hand, he thought that if Xing Shu was willing to eat the humble pie, he would play nice with her. Unfortunately, Xing Shu did not look at him. Instead, she helped Feng Daxiang to unwrap the gifts on the table.
Cheng Xingyang choked and could not help but say, “Xing Shu, you didn’t buy anything when you came to visit the director? But now, you are using someone else’s gifts to curry favor.”
Xing Shu’s hand paused. She felt that Cheng Xingyang was really stupid sometimes. She snorted and said, “The Xing family has raised Xing Linlin for so manv vears. I even introduced vou to her. Isn’t her monev mine? The bracelet on her wrist was bought by my brother for more than a million yuan.. Why? Can’t I help unwrap this gift that costs a few thousand yuan?”
