“Actually, she’s not that unworthy…”
Ji Qian glanced at Shen Hanxing’s perfect face and couldn’t help but mutter, “at least her face and temperament matched her brother.”
“What did you say?”
Her voice was too soft, so the people around her didn’t hear her.
!!
Ji Qian was too embarra.s.sed to repeat herself, she didn’t want to seem like she was conquered by Shen Hanxing’s looks. She wasn’t someone who only looked at faces!
“The main banquet hall is very stuffy. You guys have fun. I’m going out to get some fresh air.”
Seeing her leave, Cheng Liu stomped her feet angrily. She wasn’t willing to let Shen Hanxing show off like this!
Just as she was about to catch up to Ji Qian and persuade her again, a gasp came from the banquet hall.
“d.a.m.n, why is President Wei heading towards her?”
“Does President Wei and Mrs. Ji know each other? That can’t be!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wei Yong walked over with a gla.s.s of wine in his hand. His dark eyes fell deeply on Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji.”
Wei Yong’s looks were undoubtedly outstanding. Compared to Ji Yan’s handsome and flawless face, his facial lines were more cold and hard. Under his suit, his muscles were full of explosive power. When he stood there, he didn’t look like a businessman, he looked more like a well-trained soldier.
His heels were snapped together, his toes were open, his body was straight, and he did not move at all.
He was a man that was strong and powerful.
Standing next to him, Shen Hanxing looked even more pet.i.te and delicate. In comparison, Wei Yong seemed to be able to break Shen Hanxing’s arm by just raising his hand.
The people around were still whispering, “I remember that the Wei Corporation and the Ji Corporation are sworn enemies, right? They often fight over projects.”
“Also, I heard that Mrs. Ji beat up the Wei family’s Second Young Master a while ago? Wei Yong loves his younger brother. Is he aiming to settle the score with Mrs. Ji now?”
“d.a.m.n, with Wei Yong’s size, he could beat Mrs. Ji to death with a single punch, right?”
Hearing that there was a personal grudge between them, many people present felt that this matter would not be easily resolved today.
Although they were amazed by Mrs. Ji’s beauty, they did not dare to help her for fear of Wei Yong’s power. They were certain that Shen Hanxing would not win against Wei Yong. They even imagined how she would be bullied and run away crying.
Ji Zhou and Ji Yang tensed up. The two of them subconsciously took a step forward and blocked Shen Hanxing behind them. Even Ji Ning, who was standing beside them and trembling with fear, firmly held onto Shen Hanxing’s arm. She wanted to show that she was with her.
When Shen Hanxing saw their actions, a hint of warmth appeared in her cold eyes. She patted Ji Ning’s cold little hands in a comforting manner. With a wave of her delicate hand, she pushed away Ji Zhou and Ji Yang who were shielding her. She looked at Wei Yong with a smile. “President Wei, nice to meet you.”
“Mrs. Ji, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Wei Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his gla.s.s to Shen Hanxing. “Mrs. Ji’s appearance is not what I expected.”
When he heard Shen Hanxing’s cold tone on the phone, he initially thought that she was a woman with a cold temperament and average looks. In addition, she taught his younger brother a lesson so he also described her as “rough”.
But now… looking at this beautiful woman who outshined every woman here, Wei Yong sighed in his heart. How could Ji Yan, this dog, have such good luck? Even crippled, he could still marry such a beautiful and unique woman.
Shen Hanxing did not continue the conversation. She waved her hand and called a server over. She took a gla.s.s of fruit wine from the tray and asked calmly, “President Wei, did you just come over just
Facing Wei Yong, her att.i.tude was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Graceful and composed.
Where she grew up, Shen Hanxing could peacefully fall asleep while listening to the gunshots outside. Why would she be afraid of Wei Yong who didn’t intend to harm her?
Wei Yong appreciated her more and more. He smiled and said, “I’m mainly here to apologize. I was too rash last time.” He raised his gla.s.s and gestured, “This gla.s.s of wine is to apologize to Mrs. Ji. I hope Mrs. Ji won’t mind.”
With that, he raised his gla.s.s and downed the wine in one gulp.
Shen Hanxing’s clear eyes stared at the wine gla.s.s that he downed. Her fingers that were holding her wine gla.s.s were slender and fair. She tapped the wine gla.s.s and brought it to her mouth to take a sip.
Her thin red lips were stained with wine and seemed to bounce like crystal clear jelly. However, no matter how stunning her appearance was, it was not as shocking as her actions.
One side finished drinking the wine in his gla.s.s, and the other side only took a sip. Was Mrs. Ji trying to embarra.s.s President Wei?
President Wei took the initiative to apologize, but she did not even finish her gla.s.s. Did this mean that she did not want to forgive him? This woman is so arrogant? Who gave her the courage?
