Chapter 55 - Lunch Date?

Unaware of Wang Xinji's inner turmoil, Secretary Sun turned to his new boss: "Ms. Rouxi, these are Madam Wang and Lady Xinji."

"Pleased to meet you." Wang Rouxi smiled at the two of them.

Madam Wang had not yet recovered from her initial fright. She felt like her brain had lagged as she could not comprehend what was happening at that moment.

'This woman, whom I thought was Xinji, was actually the person mother wants to replace Shenyun with?!'

What was happening?!

Why did this Ms. Rouxi look like her daughter Xinji?!

Countless thoughts ran through Madam Wang's mind. There were so many questions she wanted to ask, but she was afraid to find out the truth.

As they were having their introductions, a man who had a domineering presence walked inside the room holding a stack of papers in his hands.

From the way he carried himself, standing proud and tall, one could immediately tell that he was an influential and extremely powerful man.

"Master Wang!" Secretary Sun promptly gave his respects and bowed respectfully.

Master Wang nodded at Secretary Sun. "You've done well this time, Yiqi! Thank you for your hardwork and for bringing Ms. Rouxi here safely."

Secretary Sun instantly became flustered. "I'm only doing my job, Sir."

Master Wang smiled lightly at his childhood friend and didn't say more before turning to Wang Rouxi.

The moment his eyes fell on the beautiful blonde woman who stood next to his daughter Xinji, Master Wang's expression turned indescribable.

Confusion, surprise and disbelief flashed briefly in those deep and profound eyes of his.

This was clearly out of what he had anticipated!

Master Wang's thoughts had gone haywire. He could not believe what he was seeing at this moment.

The "Rouxi" that his mother was talking about was this woman?!

Why did she look so much like his youngest daughter?

On a closer look, Master Wang realized that this Rouxi looked more like his eldest son Shenyun!

Wang Rouxi was not oblivious of the Wang Family's confusion and bafflement regarding her identity. She was fully aware that her arrival would cause an uproar in the family. After all, no one knew that she was the eldest child of the Wang Family.

Even her biological parents, Wang Huozhen and Shi Linlang, did not know of her existence.

As for what happened on the day she was born, Wang Rouxi was not able to investigate further. All she knew was that no one seemed to have known that Shi Linlang had given birth to twins except for Elder Xin.

Wang Rouxi looked unperturbed by this though and said, "I've heard about Mr. Wang's great deeds. It is an honor for me to finally meet you today."

Closing his eyes for a few seconds, Master Wang gathered his thoughts before he made eye contact with Wang Rouxi.

No matter who she is, a proper reception is a must.

"I hope you did not hear anything bad about me." Master Wang joked lightly to lighten up the atmosphere. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Rouxi"

Wang Rouxi clasped her hands in front of her and bowed to Master Wang. "The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Wang."

Even though she was talking to the most powerful man in China's business circle, there were no signs of nervousness or agitation in Wang Rouxi's voice. In fact, it was crystal clear that one could drown while listening to it.

A moment of silence passed.

The five people in the room did not know what to say.

"That..." Madam Wang finally snapped out of her stupor and tried to ease the awkward situation. "Why don't we all sit down and have some snacks first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare food for us."

Master Wang nodded, "Come on in, Ms. Rouxi. Is there something would you like to eat?"

Wang Rouxi did not reply immediately. She glanced at her wristwatch and calculated the time.

11:13 a.m.

It would take at least 45 minutes to drive to the Xia Corporation's main building and another 5 minutes to buy flowers.

If she were to leave now, she would be there at around 12nn. By that time, the board meeting would have already ended and they would have their lunch.

Xia Jiannan would have his lunch...
