120 Female Companion
After the butler finished speaking, there was a dead silence on other end of the line. He waited and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a low voice on the other end. “Butler, I didn’t know you were so good at speaking up for others.”
The butler was so frightened by this voice that he almost dropped the phone. He hurriedly smiled apologetically and explained, “President Lian, Miss Shen really meant it.”
Lian Jing sneered. How could that woman not know why he was angry?
She knew it perfectly well, but she still deliberately ignored him!
The more Lian Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. He hung up the phone angrily and stared at the phone on the table. After a while, he tugged at his tie in frustration and looked at Zhong Xin, who scarcely dared to breathe. “Who did you say was outside?”
Zhong Xin lowered his head and answered, “It’s Miss Ling.”
“Oh.” Lian Jing waved his hand and wanted to get someone to chase her out. However, the figure of that disobedient woman who seemed to go out of her way to antagonize him suddenly appeared in his mind. He retracted his hand and elegantly leaned back in his chair. His fingers tapped on the armrest. “Let her in.”
Zhong Xin widened his eyes in shock. Based on the President’s personality, he would usually have ended the matter by getting rid of her. He had originally planned to leave her outside the door and wait for her to get the hint and leave. To his surprise, Lian Jing seemed to have changed..
Zhong Xin did not dare to say a word. He went out silently and called the woman, who had been waiting outside for a long time in.
Ling Xi was wearing a pair of ten-centimeter high heels. Her exquisite figure was wrapped in a tight dress, and her face was carefully made up.
Seeing Lian Jing sitting behind his desk, the woman’s frosty demeanor suddenly thawed. She smiled and went up to him. “President Lian, I haven’t seen you for a few months. You…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man’s cold gaze froze her into place. She immediately shut her mouth and did not dare to speak.
Lian Jing raised his eyes slightly and looked at heavily made-up woman. He suddenly realized that he had been poisoned by Shen Yin and was not interested in any other woman.
He was about to chase her away ruthlessly when he suddenly thought of something. He raised his finger and casually pointed at the woman who was frozen on the spot. “You, come with me to the charity gala tonight.”
As soon as he said this, not only was Ling Xi stunned, even Zhong Xin, who had always known Lian Jing well, was stunned.
He asked his President in disbelief, “President Lian, are you serious?”
Lian Jing looked up and waved his hand in frustration. “It’s settled then. Go and make the arrangements.”
Had Miss Shen driven him crazy with anger?
Zhong Xin wanted to give President Lian some advice. There were still rumors on the Internet that the person he was bringing to the gala tonight was his mysterious girlfriend. He knew that his President wanted to bring Miss Shen along, but the two of them were still arguing.
Even so, President Lian could not just randomly grab someone to be his date at the gala, right?
But before he could tell Lian Jing any of this, the surprised Ling Xi quickly agreed.
Of course she knew about the rumors on the Internet. Did that mean that she already had a place in President Lian’s heart? Was he finally moved by her staunchness and prepared to give her a chance?
Ling Xi thought that she would be rejected by this god-like man as usual, but she received a pleasant surprise.
As long as she accompanied Lian Jing to this gala, the Internal title of mysterious girlfriend would naturally belong to her. Her value would rise!
Ling Xi was overjoyed, but Zhong Xin was frowning.
He really wanted to tell President Lian that it was unacceptable to purposely make a girl jealous when pursuing her! However, he did not have the guts to question President Lian’s decision. He could only nod slowly and lead Ling Xi out and arrange for her to buy a gown for the gala.
No matter what decision Lian Jing made, Shen Yin had just sat down in her office when Li Zi called. “Yin Yin, did you know? Lian Jing seems to be bringing his mysterious girlfriend to the gala tonight. Is he bringing you?”
Shen Yin was stunned for a moment before she remembered the trending topics she had seen during her hospital stay. She shook her head and realized that the other party could not see it. She walked out of the office and said in a low and hoarse voice, “He didn’t mention it to me. It’s not me.”
“How can it be?” Li Zi let out a strange cry. Realizing that she was in the washroom, she lowered his voice and said again, “Could he have another woman out there?”
Shen Yin sighed. “Li Zi, it’s not up to me to decide which woman he has and who he wants to bring. He’s not my boyfriend.”
Li Zi did not agree. Even a fool could see that something was going on between the two of them. They were so close to a break-through.
Li Zi was concerned for her good friend and was afraid that she would be foolishly deceived, so she reminded her, “No matter what you think, you have to see the situation clearly. If Lian Jing really brings a woman home, not only will you have no standing in the Lian family, even Nian Nian will end up with a stepmother for no reason.”
