C54 (2/2)
”Liangxia, this is the famous Mister Xiao. Hurry up and call for help.”
He had wanted to build a relationship with his eldest daughter, but had always been troubled by the lack of an opportunity. Last time, the Xiao Clan had sent out an invitation with great difficulty, and he had initially wanted to rely on his eldest daughter to make this connection. However, he hadn't expected that his second daughter would be the one to go and make a fool of herself.
Yes, it was his second daughter.
It was impossible for them to not know him. However, looking at Mister Xiao's appearance, it seemed as if he really didn't know him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting this way.
He didn't miss the breathtaking look that flashed in his eyes when Mr Xiao came in just now. Now if he looked more carefully, his ponytail and white shirt with a high collar, although Shen Liangxia's current dress and fashion were not on par with each other, she was still young and had a good face, sitting there quietly. Even when she rolled her eyes, she was as beautiful as a painting, especially her peach blossom eyes.
He had seen many peach blossom eyes, but no one had ever given Shen Liangxia such a perfect pair of eyes.
As Shen Jianguo thought of this, cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
This was because Mister Xiao had already placed his hand on it for a long time, and Shen Liangxia still didn't have the intention to shake it back. She only coldly snorted and gave him a look that was close to disdain.
Shen Jianguo felt that he couldn't embarrass Mister Xiao, so he stretched out his hand to shake hands in place of his daughter. However, he didn't expect to embarrass himself, so he directly placed his hand on the table and lightly tapped each time.
His hand stopped in mid-air in embarrassment.
Mr Xiao seemed to be angry and retracted his smile. His gaze stopped at the top of Shen Liangxia's hair for a moment before he turned to Shen Jianguo and said, ”Mr Shen, your daughter has quite a temper.”
Shen Jianguo wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and smiled apologetically, ”Child, you're in a bad temper. Mister Xiao should not bother about her.”
Shen Liangxia turned to look at him, ”Didn't you say that you have something to attend to? If you don't want to say it, then so be it. I'm leaving.” I don't have time to waste here with you.
Mister Xiao's actions of knocking the table became even more hurried. He coldly snorted and was already extremely displeased. ”The Shen family has such a big temper. I, Xiao Dian, have never been looked down upon so much before.”
He was dead. He knew this was a ticking time bomb, but why did he still bring people in and let her catch Mr Xiao's eye? He did not want to end up stealing chickens without eating rice. Not only did they not get along with each other, they even had a grudge against each other. The sweat on Shen Jianguo's forehead became real this time. He picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the sweat off his face in a fluster before smiling. The child is not sensible, Xiao mister should not haggle with her. ”You're giving me face, giving me face.”
His forehead was still covered in paper scraps that stuck together with his sweat, making him look extremely comical.
However, Teacher Xiao didn't give him any face. ”Teacher Shen, please forgive me for asking such a question. Why should I give you face?”
Shen Jianguo looked at his daughter. Shen Liangxia was holding a cup of coffee and gently swinging it in her hands.
He turned his gaze to the noble that he had finally managed to hook onto. Mister Xiao had slender fingers, distinct joints, and every nail was very neat and tidy. This person gave off a solemn aura; he clearly looked like someone who was difficult to talk to.
He tried to speak, but his throat was parched. He looked around and found that he had already finished the cup of coffee, and had not been able to drink the cup of coffee from Shenliang, so he could only drink it, but it was too sweet and too greasy. He choked on it, and the saliva he coughed up almost sprayed onto Mr Xiao's face.
Mr Xiao's eyes were cold and there was a faint killing intent in them.
It was as though his illegitimate daughter was watching a joke. Shen Jianguo felt that he had never felt so embarrassed in his entire life before.
He didn't dare to imagine the consequences of angering Xiao Bu Dian. He was well aware of the power of this man. With just a single sentence, the Shen family, which he had been painstakingly managing for many years, would be turned upside down.
He could not afford such an outcome.
He could only lure trouble to the east. Perhaps it was because he was really scared, causing his brain to be short circuited.
Pointing at his illegitimate daughter, he smiled cordially at Xiao Ming and said: ”Teacher Xiao, don't bother with her. She is about to be married off and will soon have another surname. What does that have to do with our Shen family.”
”Another surname?” Mister Xiao's gaze swept over his daughter, and his expression seemed to soften slightly.
It was this gentleness that encouraged Shen Jianguo to realize that he had done the right thing, ”That's right, the Nan Family's child, Nan City, has deeply loved her. It was agreed that after the two of them finish their jobs, the wedding will be held.”
”Shen Jianguo?” Shen Liangxia glared furiously.
Shen Jianguo turned his head to look at her, ”Don't look at me like that. You've made a child of mine so bad that he doesn't care about it at all. I've come to find you just to talk about this matter.
One was an illegitimate daughter while the other was the heir to the Nan Family. Shen Jianguo would settle this debt, but he didn't care whether this marriage would come to fruition or not. He was sure that Nancheng had promised him benefits, which was why he called them out today in order to talk about this matter.
”I feel wronged.” Xiao Yue's passionate voice was cold without any warmth. His gaze fell on Shen Jianguo's body, as if it was a steel knife scraping through it.
”Liangxia is my fiancée. When did she get engaged to someone else? How come I didn't know about it?”
