Before Lin Huai Shu came up, it was peaceful around Gu Yanjing.
As soon as he arrived, Gu Yanjing couldn’t understand what peace meant.
Listening to him chattering on and on.
"I heard Sheng Chendong also came." Lin Huai Shu looked down and said, "Of course, with such a good opportunity to interact with all the major families in the Capital City, he would definitely come."
Gu Yanjing also looked down.
Lin Huai Shu further asked, "Did he come so easily? What does the sister-in-law over there mean?"
"Are you asking about her personally or Yunzhong Building?" Gu Yanjing asked.
Lin Huai Shu was taken aback by the question and said, "Oh gosh! I, I asked about the sister-in-law personally just now. But now I also want to know what the sister-in-law thinks as the CEO of Yunzhong Building."
He was still a bit unaccustomed to Qiao Yuxian’s identity as the CEO of Yunzhong Building.
The Yunzhong Building CEO he imagined, even if it were a woman, would at least have to be as cool as Gu Yanjing, a woman of strength.
Standing there with an intimidating aura, sharp eyebrows and eyes.
Qiao Yuxian, being gentle and well-behaved when she was with Gu Yanjing, was still very endearing.
It seriously didn’t match his imagination.
Making him always forget to connect Qiao Yuxian and Yunzhong Building together.
Gu Yanjing said, "Our opinions are the same."
Lin Huai Shu was still thinking about how Qiao Yuxian doesn’t match Yunzhong Building, and suddenly heard what he said, couldn’t react at once.
"Oh." He blankly said oh, then asked, "Then what’s your opinion...."
"Ignore for the time being." Gu Yanjing said four words.
Lin Huai Shu: "......"
Your sister-in-law definitely doesn’t share your opinion.
Lin Huai Shu didn’t dare say it outright, but internally he was furiously mocking.
After a while, Gu Yanjing asked, "Where’s Zheng Ran?"
"Old Chu? Old Chu said he had other work, so he didn’t come." Lin Huai Shu said.
"Mm." Gu Yanjing responded.
Lin Huai Shu looked down and said, "Who’s that girl beside Sheng Chendong? She’s pretty cute."
Gu Yanjing glanced down briefly and then withdrew his gaze: "His daughter."
"With Zhao Shimeng?" Lin Huai Shu asked.
Lin Huai Shu and Chu Zhengran knew that Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng were married, and knew Zhao Shimeng was Qiao Yuxian’s biological mother, but they didn’t know much else.
"So she’s the sister-in-law’s sister...." Lin Huai Shu said.
Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything.
Sheng Chendong took Sheng Anhe to meet another company’s general manager.
Sheng Anhe whispered next to him, "Dad, when are we going home? I’m tired."
"You’ve just been here for a while and you’re tired." Sheng Chendong said warmly.
"It’s boring." Sheng Anhe said, "Mom didn’t come, it’s even more boring."
"Mom went to see your sister." Sheng Chendong said.
"What’s there to see." Sheng Anhe said discontentedly, "We were fine in A Continent, our family of three was perfect, and yet we had to come here and look at their faces. Why recognize her."
"Alright. After we meet the last person, I’ll take you home." Sheng Chendong said.
"Okay." Sheng Anhe said.
Sheng Chendong patted her hand and took her to the stairs.
He heard people saying Gu Yanjing was upstairs.
Wanted to try his luck going up.
At the stairwell, they were stopped by someone guarding it.
Sheng Chendong reported his name, and a member of the Gu Family went upstairs to report.
Seeing this, Sheng Anhe started whispering complaints again, "Who’s so important that we even have to wait to see him."
"Hehe, be careful with your words." Sheng Chendong said in a low voice.
Sheng Anhe sighed impatiently, didn’t speak further.
Soon, people from upstairs came down, inviting them up.
Sheng Chendong took Sheng Anhe upstairs.
Sheng Anhe’s little face was solemn, the frustration and boredom of the whole evening reached its peak at that moment. She wanted to see who it was, someone who needed to be reported and made her wait.
She was determined to make an impression on him.
Following Sheng Chendong upstairs, to the guest hall.
The guest hall wasn’t very large, but because of the glass and lighting, it appeared bright and spacious.
Gu Yanjing sat in the middle of the guest hall.
Dressed in a black suit, even seated, his tall and straight stature was evident.
His eyes were a light shade, with few expressions. But his brows and eyes were exceptionally exquisite and handsome.
His eyes like phoenix eyes, narrow double eyelids, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and fair skin, giving off a clear and cold, snow-like aloof feeling.
Sitting there, dignified and elegant. His aura strong, like a king surveying all.
Sheng Anhe’s cold and restless expression vanished the moment she saw Gu Yanjing, staring at him in a daze.
She looked at him. Could hardly believe that there was someone so exquisitely good-looking in the world.
Sheng Chendong, upon seeing Gu Yanjing, quickened his steps with a smile and walked over.
After taking a couple steps, he noticed Sheng Anhe hadn’t followed, so he stepped back to pull her along.
Being pulled forward a few steps, Sheng Anhe slightly regained her senses, but her eyes continued to gaze at Gu Yanjing.
Observing closely, he was even more stunning up close.
As if everything around had faded, leaving only Gu Yanjing.
Sheng Chendong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Sheng." Lin Huai Shu greeted with a smile, "Please sit."
Sheng Chendong sat down, then pulled Sheng Anhe to sit beside him, "This is my daughter, who has been abroad, curious about domestic charity banquets, so she came along."
"Your daughter is very pretty." Lin Huai Shu complimented.
Lin Huai Shu’s words were indeed true.
Sheng Anhe was quite pretty, with almond-shaped eyes that were bright, long eyelashes, her features somewhat defined, but not sharp.
Tall, with a good temperament as well.
Moreover, Lin Huai Shu always felt she somewhat resembled Qiao Yuxian, though he couldn’t put his finger on it.
She looked quite delicate too.
Upon hearing his compliment, Sheng Anhe looked at him and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. I’m Sheng Anhe."
She introduced herself, her eyes inevitably drifting towards Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing looked down at the amulet on his wrist, sensing her constant gaze on him.
He lifted his eyes and glanced at her.
A cold and sharp glance.
Sheng Anhe was startled by his look, instinctively lowered her eyes, paused for a couple of seconds, and bit her lip a bit resentfully.
When she lifted her gaze again to look at Gu Yanjing, he had already half-lowered his eyes, it was unclear what he was looking at or thinking about.
His left fingers tapped silently on the table.
She glanced at him again, and when she lowered her head, she noticed the ring on his left ring finger.
Sheng Anhe was stunned, lowering her head, frowning, full of discontent. Yet, her peripheral vision constantly lingered on him, observing his every move.
Gu Yanjing spoke little, most of the conversation was between Lin Huai Shu and Sheng Chendong, with him occasionally responding.
Sheng Chendong didn’t stay long, coming upstairs was mostly to greet, and soon he left with Sheng Anhe.
Before leaving, Sheng Anhe glanced at Gu Yanjing a few more times, but Gu Yanjing didn’t pay attention.
Once they left, Lin Huai Shu’s previously serious demeanor suddenly vanished, he crossed his legs and smiled, "Yanjing, why do you think that Miss Sheng was looking at you the whole time?"
Gu Yanjing looked at him.
Lin Huai Shu didn’t dare to continue on the topic immediately and changed the subject, "Yanjing, do you think Sheng Chendong knows about your relationship with the sister-in-law?"
"He knows." Gu Yanjing said without hesitation, "But they are pretending not to know." The source of thɪs content is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lin Huai Shu chuckled lightly, "A dignified big boss lowering his stature to develop in the Capital City. I’m getting more and more curious about what they intend to do."
Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything, but his cold eyes darkened slightly.
