“Sister Xia Zhi seems to have a grudge against the new host.”

“You’re not aware right ? This Miss Lu is quite famous in the circle of the second generation rich, she’s beautiful and back then, a very wealthy man in the capital, using money, was pursuing her.”

“Did he succeed ?”

“I 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.”

“How can a person be like this? She’s already got a boyfriend and still accepts the pursuit of others, does she have no shame ?”

The sound of water started running in the faucet, the woman touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, and then continued :

“How many beautiful girls are simple-minded? Besides, who doesn’t want to marry into a rich family and live a good life nowadays.”

“I heard that her ex-husband has just been recognized by the Shen family as their second son. Maybe, in the future, Shen family’s assets are going to fall into his hands, if they didn’t get divorced, Lu Wanwan right now certainly wouldn’t need to start working, right?”

“You’re right, thinking about it, she’s really pitiful eh, just how awful is she to be abandoned so mercilessly ah.”

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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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, “Sister-in-law, how come you’re here?”

Lu Wanwan replied in a low voice, “What a coincidence.”

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, “Colleagues?”

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, “Kind of.”

Someone had already recognized Li Xing and was surprised to see how familiar he was with Lu Wanwan.

Li Xing smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, give me face and come inside our private box to sit down a while.”

Lu Wanwan was going to refuse, but when she noticed Xia Zhi’s resentful gaze, she changed her mind, “Okay ah. Then let’s go sit down a while.”

Xia Zhi’s face turned paler and paler. Those from dignified families in the capital weren’t 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.

“Just now Li Xing called Lu Wanwan sister-in-law right?”

“You didn’t hear wrong, he really called her sister-in-law. But Lu Wanwan and her husband should already be divorced ah ……”

“I just saw that they went up to the seventh floor, where private boxes aren’t open for reservation for the general public. It’s nice to have money and power.”

“I’m so jealous.”

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: “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Brother Yi is also here.”

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 didn’t care about gossips, had also heard about it.

As to whether or not the two people actually divorced, Li Xing really didn’t pry into the matter and didn’t 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 didn’t light.

As Li Xing pushed the door and went inside, he smiled and said to the man sitting in the corner, “Brother Yi, I just went down and happened to run into my sister-in-law, so I invited her up, you don’t mind, right?!”

Shen Yi’s 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, “Come sit by my side.”

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 wasn’t willing to divorce.

The spot where Lu Wanwan sat wasn’t 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, “Have you been drinking tonight?”

Shen Yi froze, “No.”

He couldn’t 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.
