637 Should Be Avoided
But Zhan Cangqiong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, especially in the face of such an outstanding man like Ji Yan and so his embarrassment only grew stronger.
Shen Sisi’s body turned cold from Ji Yan’s and Zhan Cangqiong’s gaze. She trembled as she came back to her senses, her eyes red as she bit her lip and said in a low voice, “President Ji, Sister, why are you here?” She did not dare to look at Ji Yan, and could only look at Shen Hanxing from the corner of her eye. When she saw the dress Shen Hanxing was wearing, she could not help but feel jealous. It was a limited-edition haute couture dress that was newly released by a certain company, famous for being picky about one’s figure and appearance. Many famous models had not been able to bring out the style of this dress. However, this dress on Shen Hanxing accentuated her perfect figure and made her even more dazzling, the most gorgeous flower on the entire cruise ship. This realization made Shen Sisi even more jealous.
Moreover, the Shen family’s company was currently struggling to make ends meet. She had to hesitate before even choosing the latest dress of the season to attend the party. On the other hand, Shen Hanxing, whom she had always looked down on, was able to wear haute couture so casually. This stark contrast made Shen Sisi’s heart bleed.
“I thought you wouldn’t attend Lu Shaoyang’s wedding.” Shen Sisi couldn’t help but comment. Her face was full of innocence, but the words that came out of her mouth seemed to be hinting at something. “Young Master Lu confessed to Sister at the engagement banquet and made such a laughing stock of himself. At the very least, Sister should be avoiding doing things that would make people suspicious, right? What’s more, Miss Su is pregnant. What if an accident were to happen during the wedding? Miss Su is too pitiful.” She looked like she was all considerate of Su Ling and seemed to be genuinely worried about her.
Hearing Shen Sisi’s words, Zhan Cangqiong’s darkened expression became much better. He smiled and said to Shen Sisi, “You’re honestly too kind. Not everyone in this world can be as gentle and considerate as you are.”
Shen Sisi had initially held a grudge against Zhan Cangqiong for coming up with rash ideas that had caused her family’s company to be in dire straits. Shen Yong had even shifted his anger onto her. However, when she heard Zhan Cangqiong’s words, Shen Sisi smiled brightly and showed him a pleasant expression for the first time today. Zhan Cangqiong’s words made her very happy. What she loved the most was to crush Shen Hanxing in all aspects and make her look even uglier when compared to herself. Only by trampling on Shen Hanxing underfoot would she feel truly happy.
Shen Sisi’s cheeks flushed red and she felt excited. Lowering her eyes, she waved her hands in nervous pretense. “Don’t say that. I’m just putting myself in the shoes of others…”
“If you really put yourself in other people’s shoes, Yang Xue wouldn’t have almost jumped off the building to commit suicide.” Shen Hanxing snorted coldly and said coolly, “Who doesn’t know each other here? Who are you putting on an act for?”
Shen Sisi’s expression changed for a fleeting moment. She subconsciously looked at Zhan Cangqiong’s expression, but she saw that he was calm and his eyes did not even so much as move. Did he know about her and Yang Xue?
Even Shen Hanxing was a little surprised, let alone Shen Sisi. Did Zhan Cangqiong know about Shen Sisi’s actions and yet still harbored deep feelings for her? What kind of charm did Shen Sisi have that could make men so smitten with her?
“That’s all in the past. The company has already compensated Yang Xue and cleared her reputation.” Shen Sisi’s expression was a little unpleasant as she said, “Sister, why are you still talking about these old and rotten things of the past? Weren’t we talking about Lu Shaoyang’s wedding?”
“Has it really passed?” Shen Hanxing’s red lips curled up slightly, with a hint of mockery in them. “Then do you dare to openly appear in front of the public?”
In that instant, Shen Sisi’s expression changed completely. It was as if someone had stepped on her sore spot. Her eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. She wanted to rush up and scratch the beautiful face in front of her. She wanted to appear in front of the public openly. How could she not want to? However, Yang Xue’s matter and her identity as an illegitimate daughter had been exposed at the same time, causing her secret to be exposed for all to see. Under such circumstances, how could she still show up? It was true that the netizens were forgetful, but it was not as if the internet did not have any memories. Once she appeared, there would be countless sneers and insults thrown at her. She didn’t have masochistic tendencies. Why would she even want to rush up and get scolded? For Shen Sisi, who had once tried to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry to raise her own status, these things were simply unspeakably painful. She pressed her lips tightly and almost couldn’t control her expression.
