Shen Hanxing raised her eyebrows. Well… She was an acquaintance.
Shen Hanxing took a glance and said with a smile, “It’s okay. I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
“I’m so sorry,” said Wei Xi’er while she raised her head in embarrassment. When she saw Shen Hanxing, her eyes flashed with surprise. Shen Hanxing didn’t dress up today. She was wearing a long, black dress. With her fair complexion, it formed a strong contrast as if she was glowing. Her eyes were cold but full of charm. Wei Xi’er couldn’t help but ask, “You’re really beautiful. May I know your name?”
“Sister, why are you running around again? Wait for me… Eh? Are you Mrs. Ji?” At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. Wei Ling looked at Shen Hanxing and Wei Xi’er in shock. She asked, “Sister, do you happen to know Mrs. Ji?”
“Mrs. Ji? Is it Mr. Ji’s wife, Madam Shen Hanxing?” Wei Xi’er was stunned. She smiled and continued, “I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Wei Xi’er.” She was Wei Yong’s cousin. She had been studying abroad. She recently returned to the country.
They greeted each other. Before Shen Hanxing could ask, Wei Xi’er explained, “After I returned to the country, my cousin has been praising Mrs. Ji. He even told me to learn more from you, especially…” she smiled and looked at Wei Ling beside her. She paused and smiled wider before she added, “He asked me to learn how to teach my younger brother.”
“Why do you have to teach me? I’m so good!” Wei Ling’s hair stood on end as he heard that. When he recalled that Wei Yong used to chase him around in the Ji family, he started to feel his body aching. He glanced at Shen Hanxing, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous. He muttered softly, “Why don’t you learn something else?”
Wei Ling was fearless and acted like a tyrant in front of Wei Xi’er. But when he was facing Shen Hanxing, he acted so obediently. Wei Xi’er was so surprised. She became curious.
“President Wei was exaggerating.” Shen Hanxing remembered that she had bumped into Zhuang Li and Wei Xi’er in the mall before. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Miss Wei, you said you were on the phone with your boyfriend, right? May I know who he is?”
“What are you doing?” At this moment, a figure suddenly cut in. Zhuang Li’s voice was cold. His eyes were cold and alert. He looked at Shen Hanxing with a sinister gaze.
“Zhuang Li, you’re here!” Wei Xi’er did not notice it. She hugged Zhuang Li’s arm happily and said, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
“I got delayed.” Zhuang Li held Wei Xi’er by her waist and asked in a low voice, “Do you know Mrs. Ji?”
“I just met her. My cousin, Wei Yong, admires Mrs. Ji very much!” Wei Xi’er laughed and said. “He asked me to learn from Mrs. Ji.”
“You may not know this since you’ve just returned to China. Some people don’t match up to their reputations.” Zhuang Li’s eyes moved slightly. He said to Wei Xi’er, “I think you’re doing very well now. You don’t have to learn from anyone. Otherwise, if you change your temperament, it wouldn’t be worthy.”
“What are you talking about?” Wei Ling frowned with dissatisfaction. “Who are you implying in such a weird tone?”
“Correct me if I’m wrong. Wei Xi’er is your actual cousin.” Zhuang Li sneered. With a hint of sarcasm, he said, “Why don’t you like your cousin? Instead, why are you speaking up for an outsider? What a betrayer. It seems that Mrs. Ji has a great charm.”
Charm? What kind of charm? Shen Hanxing was a married woman. Wasn’t it a bit sarcastic to say that she was charming a young man? It was a little insulting.
Shen Hanxing’s expression instantly turned cold. Before she could react, Wei Ling threw a tantrum. As the little tyrant of the Wei family, he had always been unruly in City S. Except for Shen Hanxing, he had never tolerated anyone else! He pushed Zhuang Li fiercely and rolled up his sleeves. He said, “You’re Zhuang Li, right? Say it one more time and I’m going to teach you a good lesson today. You should learn how to speak properly!”
“Did I get it wrong? You know what you truly feel in your heart!” Zhuang Li did not back down.
“Enough!” In the tense atmosphere, Wei Xi’er turned into a cold face and said, “What are you guys doing? Are you going to fight?”
