Chapter 128: There’s Someone Behind the Scenes?
Shen Xiaoxiao leisurely brought Yu Lang and 19 down from the banquet hall to the underground parking lot. The temperature outside was much lower than indoors.
It was the time when snow was melting. At this time, the temperature in the capital was much colder at night than during the day. With every breath, one could see the misty white fog.
The thin woolen coat could not block the deep cold at all. The bare instep had already turned purple from the cold. As she walked quickly, she could not care less about talking to the two people behind her.
It was not until she sat in the warm car that Shen Xiaoxiao felt that she had come back to life.
In reality, she was not afraid of the cold. However, the pampering she had been receiving these past few days had long dispelled the cold resistance she had developed over the past ten years.
“Change your shoes and put on your pants and coat.”
She knew that Yan Kuan would definitely come. Otherwise, how could the sudden appearance of Yu Lang be so coincidental?
However, she did not expect that Yan Kuan would actually arrange such an ident.i.ty for her. The entire upper-cla.s.s society of the capital would probably be thrown into chaos.
“How could you let Yu Lang say that? The CEO of KN Group? I won’t have a good day tomorrow.”
Shen Xiaoxiao put her feet into her furry and warm slippers. As she put on her coat, she asked the person who was watching the show, who was dressed casually.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t like to be so high-profile, no newspaper will dare to publish it tomorrow.”
“I’m not worried at all. It’s just that it feels pretty good to bully others. It seems that I have to continue working hard. One day, my business kingdom will definitely not be smaller than KN Group’s.”
“Mm, you’re ambitious. I’ll just wait and see when the time comes. Actually, if you like it, KN is fine even if I give it to you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s hand that was putting on her clothes was stunned. A few seconds later, it returned to normal. She thought that this person was joking, so she smiled and said, “Is that so? When the time comes, will I have to support those people under you? I’m not that stupid. How tiring would that be?”
Yan Kuan glanced at her and did not say another word. Why did this girl not believe him? However, he turned around and took a thermos cup from the side. He poured a cup of thick ginger tea that was emitting steam and pa.s.sed it to her. His actions were very careful and meticulous.
This was Yan Kuan. It was really difficult to hate someone like this Yan Kuan, and it was also very difficult to not drown in the tenderness that he had deliberately created.
“Wow, I’m finally alive. You deliberately parked the car here to avoid the Ouyang family? Tonight, only Ouyang Jingming came from the Ouyang family.”
Ouyang Jingming was the second son of the second son, which was the fourth son of Ouyang’s grandfather. He was in his 40s and looked very proud of himself. He seemed to be only in his 30s.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not think that Yan Kuan was afraid of the Ouyang family’s son who was born out of wedlock. She always felt that Yan Kuan was deliberately avoiding them. Naturally, that was the case for now.
Moreover, the t.i.tle of president of KN Group seemed to be filled with deep meaning. Anyway, from the beginning, Shen Xiaoxiao had felt that Yan Kuan must have some relations.h.i.+p with the Ouyang family. Yes, that was it.
The car had already started moving. Shen Xiaoxiao did not know where Yan Kuan was taking her, and this was not the way home. However, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that since she had asked that question, Yan Kuan had been silent, so silent that it made her panic. What kind of secret was he hiding in his heart, and what things could he not tell her? What things did he need to hide now?
…
After Shen Xiaoxiao left in a carefree manner, she left behind a group of petrified people in the banquet hall, whether to leave or stay.
After sending off the last batch of guests with great difficulty, the Pei family members returned home with exceptionally ugly expressions on their faces.
The head of the Pei family had already received the news and was already waiting in the living room. When he saw that everyone had returned, he immediately asked, “What happened?”
“What exactly happened? Boss’s wife, I have never seen you act so rashly in the past. Why did you act so carelessly tonight? You are the daughter-in-law of the Pei family. Don’t forget your status.”
Upon hearing the old master’s rebuke the moment she arrived home, Ouyang Minyan felt extremely uncomfortable. This old fogey… When they needed the Ouyang family, they would always say, “Boss, you are the daughter of the Ouyang family. When the in-laws are in trouble, how could the mother’s family not help?”
And now, it was you are the daughter-in-law of the Pei family? Remember your ident.i.ty.
However, Ouyang Minyan did not dare to say this to the old man. Even if she hated him, she knew that this old fart Pei Dongguo had a deep relations.h.i.+p with her father. Her father was the younger brother of the Ouyang family head. Therefore, no matter which aspect he was in… She didn’t dare to be disrespectful to the old man.
She immediately said with some grievance, “Dad, didn’t I go crazy from anger at that time? Who would have thought that such a 20-year-old girl was KN’s boss?”
Pei Dongguo glanced at her. It was enough to give her a scolding. There was something fishy about this matter. Logically speaking, when KN’s boss came to attend the banquet, how could they not know about it beforehand? Moreover, wasn’t that Lin Weiwei the daughter of the Lin family? What was going on?
Pei Dongguo let everyone sit on the sofa. Then, he asked his favorite and most satisfying eldest grandson, Pei Li, “Ah Li, what do you think about tonight’s matter?”
Pei Li still hadn’t figured out the crux of the matter. Now that his grandfather was asking him, he couldn’t hide it and told him everything he knew.
“This is really weird. I heard from Lin Jiadong earlier that Lin Weiwei came back to China with Shen Jinwen from the Shen family. Furthermore, she knows the Shen family’s eldest daughter. I am a little puzzled.”
“If she is the CEO of KN, with such a strong ident.i.ty and seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao has such a good relations.h.i.+p with her, why didn’t Shen Xiaoxiao come back to China? Instead, it was all because of her?”
“Do you think Third Master Shen brought Lin Weiwei back? What about the Lin family? Don’t the Lin family know what their daughter has been through all these years?”
“As far as I know, KN Group was founded 15 years ago. Lin Weiwei was only five or six years old. How could she be so capable? So there must be someone behind Lin Weiwei, and it must be a big boss.”
“Grandpa, are you saying that Lin Weiwei is just a bait thrown by others to confuse people?”
“Yes, that should be the case.”
Pei Li was shocked. Why did KN do this? Who was Lin Weiwei’s subordinate? And who was the boss behind the scenes?
The bodyguard was also very mysterious. He called Lin Weiwei ‘Miss’. Then who was ‘Master’? Who was the Young Master? What other secrets were there?
“Alright, as for our collaboration with KN, tomorrow, Boss will bring Ah Li to personally go there. Boss’s wife, tomorrow you will go back to your mother’s house to inquire about the news. Ask the in-laws how much they know about KN.”
Pei Dongguo made the arrangements in a few sentences. Looking at the old man who was slowly walking upstairs, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.
