Chapter 410 - Wonder Whether He Is an Iceman

“I heard from the tone of Young Master Yan that he seemed to want to let Ruyi Tower’s chef cook.” Xia Yu cooked well. Surely, her father was even better than her. However, considering that Old Madame was accustomed to Ruyi Tower’s cuisine, it might be better to use Ruyi Tower’s chef.

“My father is in charge of Ruyi Tower.” Xia Yu thought it was necessary to explain it to Liu Sijie at this moment. She didn’t want to conceal the truth, but she was in a cold war with her father at that time.

What was more, she thought there was no need to tell her privacy to others. But things were different now. At Old Madame’s birthday, her father would come over. So, she needed to say it out clearly to Liu Sijie.

“What? Miss Xia Yu, who always cries for her poverty in front of me, is Ruyi Tower’s princess!” Liu Sijie was really astonished. “Xia Yu, you’re good at pretending.”

“You know that I was in a cold war with my father at that time. If he knew that I messed around in the name of him, he would sneer at me. I wouldn’t let that happen.” Xia Yu swore seriously that she would not take advantage of her family at that time when she left home.

Thus, even though she dined in Ruyi Tower, she paid her bill.

It was true that she was in a cold war with her family because of Chen Wenxuan. It shouldn’t be blamed on her indeed. Alas, if Chen Wenxuan, who was determined to date a rich second generation, found that Xia Family was so rich, he would regret to death on the spot.

This was like the old saying, “You will have it if it belongs to you, whereas you don’t kvetch for it if it doesn’t appear in your life.”

“No wonder Young Master Yan said confidently that he would talk to your father about the contract. He’s Young Master Yan’s future father-in-law.” Liu Sijie said with a brilliant smile. He would wait and see how Shen Mo could compete with Shen Yan.

“When they negotiated with each other, they didn’t know they had such a relationship.” Xia Yu thought it was necessary for her to make an explanation. “Shen Yan didn’t know it until he came to my home on Janu 1st of the lunar calendar.”

Liu Sijie couldn’t help laughing at last. “Really? Young Master Yan must have been very embarrassed.”

“A little. Not very much.” Xia Yu laughed, too.

“Needless to say, Old Madame and other people haven’t known it yet.” Liu Sijie was astonished by Xia Yu. How could she delay such an important thing? No wonder her father was furious about it.

“Shen Yan wanted to tell them. But when he was back home, Shen Family was in a mess. So, he didn’t say it out.” This time, they didn’t intend to conceal it. They were afraid that First Madame might scold them for showing off their happiness to aggravate Shen Mo’s sorrow.

Liu Sijie nodded. It would be fine to delay for a few more days if it was still unsaid.

Xia Yu understood what Liu Sijie meant. Now, Old Madame was evidently at Shen Mo’s side, so it was better for them to be cautious of her.

The two people were chatting while walking towards the banquet hall. Before they could enter, they found that there was a line of people waiting at the entrance. Seeing Liu Sijie coming over with Xia Yu, a man in a checked suit of Liu Sijie’s age approached them and started a conversation.

“Is this lady the one who is living with Assistant Liu?”

The man scanned Xia Yu’s body with his eyes and found that she was a beauty indeed, who was the kind of woman Liu Sijie appreciated. Probably, she was his girlfriend. Well done, Liu Sijie! Unexpectedly, he had a girlfriend secretly, and they even lived together!

How could he be so rude? Liu Sijie frowned and said, “We’re just living in the same house but also with other people together.”

“I can testify to it,” said Hao Qing. When she heard before that Liu Sijie would bring a female companion here, she was in a bad mood and wore an unhappy look all night. However, she saw it was Xia Yu now. She was relieved and glad, willing to introduce her to others on her own initiative. “This is Miss Xia, my colleague in the company. She has already had a boyfriend and will get married soon.”

She was spoiling the fun! They had intended to make jokes, but now they didn’t feel in the mood.

The man in a checked suit, scanning Xia Yu and Liu Sijie with his eyes constantly, couldn’t help asking Xia Yu finally, “Miss Xia, in fact, Assistant Liu is a good person, and you are colleagues. It’s more natural for you to develop a relationship with each other first. How could he let your boyfriend take the opportunity first?”

Hao Qing explained on behalf of Xia Yu again aside, “Because her boyfriend also works with her, and he is more proactive than Assistant Liu. Therefore, Assistant Liu missed the chance.”

The man in a checked suit seemed to make his conclusion. “Hao Qing, you’re so naughty. How can you tease your brothers like this? They are in a relationship, right?”

Hao Qing shook her head and said, “Absolutely no!” She even raised her hand to swear.

“You can never have me on. How can Miss Xia’s boyfriend be so generous to let them live under the same roof?” The man in a checked suit shook his head.

“I’m not lying! Miss Xia’s boyfriend lives there, too,” said Hao Qing. She stuck out her tongue to Liu Sijie. How could he be so brazen-faced? Even Shen Qiang moved out to avoid embarrassment while he still remained there.

This girl was too talkative. Liu Sijie was reluctant to pay any attention to her, so he said to Xia Yu directly, “Let’s come in.”

The group of people followed to go in. Liu Sijie introduced them to Xia Yu, and they were all neighbors before, so they brought Hao Qing here, too.

But Xia Yu felt that his friends held this gather-up because they wanted to create a chance for Hao Qing and Liu Sijie.

She cast a look at Hao Qing and took the opportunity to wave to her after Liu Sijie left. “See! Your brothers care about you so much. Fighting!”

“But the point is that it’s not up to me alone.” Hao Qing didn’t want to conceal anything in front of Xia Yu. She had made great efforts, but Liu Sijie was still dumb like a log. Hao Qing said with frustration, “I’m wondering whether he is an iceman.”

“Even though he’s an iceman, he’ll meet the one who can melt his cold heart. He’s not moved yet, which means that you’ve not tried hard enough.” Xia Yu pointed to her forehead and said with a smile.

Hao Qing touched the place where Xia Yu pointed with her hand and said with a bit of shyness, “But I’m a girl. Anyway, I need to be ladylike, right?”

Xia Yu shook her head. “I don’t think so. If you lose the man you love because of being ladylike, what’s the use of being ladylike?”

“You’re right!” Hao Qing kept nodding. She had to try harder to win the iceman’s heart.

Xia Yu pushed her gently and said, “Then why do you still stay here? Go!”

After Hao Qing left, Xia Yu stood up and walked to a corner to text Shen Yan, telling him that she was with Liu Sijie and he didn’t have to worry about her or pick her up.

After she texted him, when she was about to turn around and go back to the group, Xia Yu almost ran into someone.

Xia Yu looked up and was stunned. Lanlan? Wasn’t she Chen Wenxuan’s wife now? If she came here, it meant that Chen Wenxuan was here, too. Wasn’t he afraid that Bao Na would see them?

“You seem to be surprised to see me, right?” Lanlan sneered and said, “S city doesn’t belong to you alone. Why can’t I come here?”

“Miss Kang, there’s some misunderstanding. I don’t mean it.” Xia Yu was really confused. Was this woman out of her mind? It was meaningless for her to say these words.

“There’s no misunderstanding. You are indeed surprised to see me.” Kang Lan gazed at Xia Yu stubbornly. She continued to say, “There’s something more surprising. You wait and see.”

What was that? But Xia Yu didn’t want to talk to her anymore, so she didn’t ask. She directly ignored her and went past her.

“Babe, you’re pregnant. Don’t walk around.” A man’s voice rang through behind Xia Yu at this time, which was very familiar to her. It was Chen Wenxuan.

He surely came here, too. But Xia Yu didn’t know why he was here. S city was not big and not small. If she could run across them, Bao Na might see them, too.

What would he think if he saw Bao Na? Xia Yu took a deep breath and kept walking forward.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me too much. The private room is too stifling. I want to go outside for some fresh air, which is good for our baby, right?” Kang Lan said while touching her belly with her hand, with a happy smile on her face.

“Chen Wenxuan!”

Suddenly, a roar burst out, which made Xia Yu shiver with fear. She looked back subconsciously, only to find that Bao Na dashed with much anger towards Chen Wenxuan and the woman. She reached out to pull the woman and slapped her on the face.

“Bao Na, you’re out of your mind!” Seeing that Kang Lan was slapped, Chen Wenxuan was angry and attacked back with a slap, which made Bao Na stumble and bump into a pillar at the side. She felt dizzy at once. Chen Wenxuan paid no attention to her. Instead, he took care of Kang Lan in a haste. “Babe, are you okay? How’s our baby?”

Baby? Bao Na’s heart sank. At that time, she was looking for him everywhere even though she was pregnant, which led to her abortion at last. But now, this man married another woman and even had their baby.

How ironic it was! How foolish she was, believing that he still loved her, and his departure was caused by Xia Yu, which would destroy their happiness in the future!

Until now, she came to realize that she was worthless in this man’s heart.

She lost everything and was defamed. He ruined her life. She decided to ruin his life, too. Bao Na dashed to him desperately, scratching and beating Chen Wenxuan.

“Chen Wenxuan, you bastard ! I suffered a lot because of you. But you dumped me and my baby to leave. Now you’re with that bitch . You’re not fair to me!”

“Bao Na, that’s enough! Look at yourself! How can I love you?” Chen Wenxuan jostled Bao Na to the ground callously again and even stepped on her. “Let me tell you. If my wife has an injury, I’ll kill you.”

Someone was fighting outside. The customers in the club all ran out to see what happened one by one.

Three men came out of a private room nearby, Shen Mo, Xiang Hui, and Xia Yu’s Eldest Brother, Su Hai, who Xia Yu would recognize if she looked in the direction of him.

“Young Master Mo, it seems that Mr. Chen has a fight with someone.” Su Hai came here with Chen Wenxuan this time. He resigned from Ruyi Tower because he heard that Junior Sister had already had a boyfriend.

When he learned some cooking skills from his tutor, he heard from other chefs in Ruyi Tower that Xia Family taught cooking skills only to their family members, but his Junior Sister, Xia Yu, had no interest in cooking. Considering that he had only one daughter, his tutor decided to cultivate a successor and let him marry his daughter.

Xia Yu was beautiful and independent. Su Hai fell in love with her at first sight. In order to be with Xia Yu, he tried his best to learn cooking skills from his tutor.

However, five years ago, Junior Sister brought a man back home and said that she wanted to be with him. His tutor refused and drove them away without hesitation. Su Hai was sad for a long time at that time, but when he heard that they broke up, he felt a glimpse of hope in his heart, more believing that his tutor was determined to let him marry his daughter. So, he spent more time in learning cooking.

But his hope went up in smoke soon. This time, Junior Sister brought another man back and gained his tutor’s consent without any hesitation. Seeing that there was no hope for him to be with Xia Yu, and Kang Family happened to offer him a position of a fat salary, Su Hai accepted the offer.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Junior Sister once fell in love with Chen Wenxuan, Kang Family’s son-in-law. If he knew the truth, what would he think? Maybe, he wouldn’t have come with him to S city and cooperated with him.
