(19.3)
âSister Xia Zhi seems to have a grudge against the new host.â
âYouâre not aware right ? This Miss Lu is quite famous in the circle of the second generation rich, sheâs beautiful and back then, a very wealthy man in the capital, using money, was pursuing her.â
âDid he succeed ?â
âI heard that he was about to succeed, but then the young wealthy man learned that Lu Wanwan had a boyfriend, he was furious, blacklisted her and never saw her again.â
âHow can a person be like this? Sheâs already got a boyfriend and still accepts the pursuit of others, does she have no shame ?â
The sound of water started running in the faucet, the woman touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, and then continued :
âHow many beautiful girls are simple-minded? Besides, who doesnât want to marry into a rich family and live a good life nowadays.â
âI heard that her ex-husband has just been recognized by the Shen family as their second son. Maybe, in the future, Shen familyâs assets are going to fall into his hands, if they didnât get divorced, Lu Wanwan right now certainly wouldnât need to start working, right?â
âYouâre right, thinking about it, sheâs really pitiful eh, just how awful is she to be abandoned so mercilessly ah.â
When their voices gradually became fainter, Lu Wanwan walked out of the compartment. She very calmly touched up her lipstick, then picked up her bag and left the restroom in big strides.
She didnât expect that in the eyes of these people, her divorce with Shen Yi was actually seen as such a pitiable thing.
After dinner, the group of people still wanted to have fun and planned to sing songs. Lu Wanwan declined, saying she didnât know how to sing.
Of course, no believed this excuse, they thought that she was in a bad mood because of the divorce and thus didnât make things difficult for her.
In the hallway of the hotel, Lu Wanwan ran into an acquaintance.
Li Xing was also surprised to see Lu Wanwan in such a place, he walked up to her and greeted her voluntarily and casually, shouting with a big smile, âSister-in-law, how come youâre here?â
Lu Wanwan replied in a low voice, âWhat a coincidence.â
Li Xing looked at her before he swept two glances around the group of people behind her. Already having a guess in his mind, he asked, âColleagues?â
A few days ago, he did hear brother Yi say that Lu Wanwan seemed to have the intention to start working. He originally thought Lu Wanwan was just talking about it, he never expected her to actually do it.
Lu Wanwan thought about it and nodded, âKind of.â
Someone had already recognized Li Xing and was surprised to see how familiar he was with Lu Wanwan.
Li Xing smiled and said, âSister-in-law, give me face and come inside our private box to sit down a while.â
Lu Wanwan was going to refuse, but when she noticed Xia Zhiâs resentful gaze, she changed her mind, âOkay ah. Then letâs go sit down a while.â
Xia Zhiâs face turned paler and paler. Those from dignified families in the capital werenât people they could reach even if they wanted to. Usually, it was already hard for her to even meet such a distinguished young master as Li Xing, not to mention being able to sit with him for a drink or a meal.
Lu Wanwan was really lucky!
After they left, amongst the group which they left behind, all had wide-open eyes as they all started to talk and speculate about what was going on.
âJust now Li Xing called Lu Wanwan sister-in-law right?â
âYou didnât hear wrong, he really called her sister-in-law. But Lu Wanwan and her husband should already be divorced ah â¦â¦â
âI just saw that they went up to the seventh floor, where private boxes arenât open for reservation for the general public. Itâs nice to have money and power.â
âIâm so jealous.â
As Lu Wanwan followed Li Xing into the elevator, she started to regret a bit her decision. Li Xing, seeing her discomfort, kindly reassured her: âSister-in-law, donât worry, Brother Yi is also here.â
He narrowed his eyes, just like a cunning fox.
Lu Wanwan and Shen Yi were getting a divorce and he knew it, Zhao Shizhou also knew, and even Fu Chenghuai, who usually didnât care about gossips, had also heard about it.
As to whether or not the two people actually divorced, Li Xing really didnât pry into the matter and didnât ask Shen Yi.
The private box was dimly lit. Shen Yi was sitting on the edge of the sofa, with a cigarette between his fingers, which he didnât light.
As Li Xing pushed the door and went inside, he smiled and said to the man sitting in the corner, âBrother Yi, I just went down and happened to run into my sister-in-law, so I invited her up, you donât mind, right?!â
Shen Yiâs eyelids twitched and he raised his eyes to look at the woman dressed in a red dress, who looked like a delicate flower.
He patted the empty seat at his side and said in a hoarse voice, âCome sit by my side.â
If she had known in advance that Shen Yi was also there, Lu Wanwan might not have come along.
After all, they were a couple who was about to divorce, although Shen Yi had clearly said that he wasnât willing to divorce.
The spot where Lu Wanwan sat wasnât very close to him. As she recalled it, Shen Yi just about never came to this kind of place, as if he was never interested in any kind of entertainment.
A few bottles of wine had been opened on the low table, and Lu Wanwan asked curiously, âHave you been drinking tonight?â
Shen Yi froze, âNo.â
He couldnât hold his liquor well, thus getting drunk was a hassle.
Besides, the reason why he came over tonight, was specially to pick her up to go back home, as he had inquired and knew in advance that Lu Wanwan would be here for her group gathering.
