At that moment, Yun Bixue was enjoying lying on the reclining chair. Squinting her eyes, she drank her milk. The furry rug that cushioned the reclining chair, as well as the warm milk in her hands, were all prepared by Xie Limo for her.
Watching how Yun Bixue was lazing around like a kitten, Xie Limo shook his head resignedly and chuckled. Only he could see her behaving in such a silly manner.
Time trickled by slowly and about two hours have passed. Xie Limo arranged his work documents neatly and looked at Yun Bixue who was still lounging around. He gently laughed and said, “It’s been more than an hour. Do you want to meet him?”
Yun Bixue’s gaze brightened and she laughed as she met Xie Limo’s eyes. She then sat upright and still, preparing to continue watching the episode from earlier on. “Limo, when he sees me here as well later, what kind of expression do you think he would have?”
“Aren’t you anticipating it?”
Yun Bixue nodded. She was indeed looking forward to it. From her earliest memories, the Shen family—under the assistance of Old Lady Shen—had been audaciously plundering off the Yun family. They had even tried to pry deeper and hoped to swallow the Yun family, even attempting to harm Grandfather and herself in the midst.
She would never forget everything that had happened, and hence would never ever be soft-hearted and go easy on them.
Shen Zhengyao carried his items and waited for a long time in the reception lounge. His heart grew increasingly irked, and he glanced at his watch from time to time. His imagination started to run wild.
He recalled that the Old Master had reminded him before regarding the thousand-year history of the affluent Xie family. In the past, Old Master had been fearful and had reminded them. Yet, they were only shocked and did not internalize it. Thinking about it now, even his spine would break out in cold sweat.
Could Xie Limo have known that the Shen family was involved in the assassination on his day of inauguration? Why did the series of events all point collectively towards the Shen family?
During the past six months, too many things had plagued the Shen family at one go. He never had the time to straighten things out. However, as he pondered over in a calm state, it appeared that the events could be all strung up together. Who could be the manipulator behind the scenes? How could he be so powerful?
The Shen family was also an influential and affluent family, and was not one that anyone else could easily tackle. On the other hand, Xie Limo sure possessed such capabilities…
The more he thought, the more damp the soles of his feet grew. Finally, he could not even sit still in his chair. Right when he had the urge to leave, the doors of the reception lounge opened. Two handsomely dressed women escorted him into Xie Limo’s office.
When Shen Zhengyao notice that Yun Bixue was also in the office, he suddenly felt his heart tremble. He especially did not know where to leave the gifts that he held in his hands.
Xie Limo watched the somewhat uneasy Shen Zhengyao and a glint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. This kind of person did not even deserve an opportunity to meet him. In his eyes, Shen Zhengyao’s disposition did not qualify him as an heir. In reality, he was inadequate.
“Mr Shen, you should know that my office is not a place where anyone can simply enter. On usual days, all my meetings have to be scheduled and arranged, and they would have to line up. However, for the sake of my wife, I can make an exception for you. Please take a seat!” Xie Limo’s words made Shen Zhengyao’s expression turned completely dark.
Not a place where anyone can simply enter? You brought your wife to your office, why aren’t you making any comments? If you intentionally want to make me wait, then do so. Why phrase it in such a positive manner?
Shen Zhengyao almost spewed out a mouthful of blood in his anger. He had met shameless individuals before, but never someone shameless yet maintaining such an air of complete respectability. Since he was begging for help this time, he had no choice but to suck it up.
Yun Bixue watched how Shen Zhengyao was silently enduring it, and secretly lifted her brows at Xie Limo. She never knew that her husband could also be so impressively vicious.
