Chapter 268 - Mojo tiger

When they got home, no one asked them questions. Everyone knew that even when Lena was spoiled and bratty, she was always the loving older sister for everyone. She held her family in high value.

They all waited for the triplets to wake up from their nap before having a big family dinner.

It was getting late and everyone needed to sleep early to get ready for the event tomorrow. Lena had to get her hair and makeup done, get dressed and arrive early at the event with the rest of her family.

Early the next morning, Lena worked up early and helped Aunt Mary make breakfast for everyone. The triplets were already up earlier than her and running around the house playing superheroes.

Because Lena did not want to miss the traffic, she headed out first after breakfast.

She arrived at the place and immediately start getting her hair and make-up done. Her dress arrived safely here. Lena sat on a chair for three hours just to get her makeup done. She took a break to eat lunch and it took an hour to get her hair done.

She did not know how Hazel handles this every single day for her work.

Finally, she wore the dress and accessories to complete her look. Because the event was more of a family event, Lena would be arriving with her family instead.

Kevin will be picking her up while someone else will come back for her car.

She only waited for a while when Kevin arrived. He got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Lena. All the female workers came out and looked at how handsome Kevin was.

"If you wear suits more often, you won't be single much longer." Lena teased him.

"I don't know why girls like men in suits more. I think I will stick to my sweatpants and T-shirts."

Lena laughed. Kevin got back to the driver's seat and drove them to the Shen Company.

The rest of the Shen family was already there. Kevin and Lena were the last to arrive. Guests were already arriving too and the entrance was already gathered with reporters.

Kevin didn't make many appearances in the big city, so when he stepped out of the car, not much of the reporters paid attention to him.

He walked over to the passenger door and opened the door for Lena. Lena smiled at him and gently got out of the car.

Once she got out and everyone can see who she was, the cameras started flickering.

Lena was wearing a low-high dress. It was her usual style of dresses that were traditional Chinese qipao with a modern flare. It was laced up to her neck and the sleeves were down to her elbow.

"Lena Shen always wear the best dresses. And her matching accessories are always on point!"

"That style and design... is it designed by the fashion artist Michael?"

"And that young man next to her... it's not Kris Li. Who could he be?!"

"Stupid, that's Kevin Shen. Last year he was such a quiet boy but it looked like he can be a top bachelor. He would be attending University here too!"

Kevin put out his hand and Lena took it as the walked inside. However, what she did not expect was that a reporter abruptly blocked her path.

Kevin put his other hand out and blocked the reporter from getting any closer to them as the guards made sure the reporter was not dangerous.

"Miss. Shen, is it true that you slept with Mike Zhao?"

Lena looked at the reporter and the cameras stopped flashing as everyone was curious. Lena immediately smiled at the reporter and walked up to him.

"What is your name?" Lena asked him.

"My name is not important. Miss. Shen, you are currently dating Kris Li. Does he know that you had slept with Mike Zhao before?"

Lena burst into a laugh and looked at the crowd of reporters. "Is he stupid or what? He just asked me if I would sleep with a nobody versus Kris Li!"

Lena laughed again but then stopped and seriously looked at the reporter. She glanced at his name tag. "I had dinner with that man once. When did having dinner turn into sleeping with them? I can give you an entire list of the men I had dinner with since I was born. And one more thing, if you really wanna know about my sexual life, please, feel free to talk about it with my boyfriend. He can tell you all about it if I had slept with someone else or not."

Lena nodded and smiled. She walked away with Kevin and the reporter just stood there stupidly. Of course, he does not have the gut to talk to Kris Li!

Other reporters just laughed and shook their head. They all knew better than making up stupid stuff like that to get attention. Especially if it is the woman of Kris Li.

"You really don't let anyone get to you." Kevin spoke.

"If I did, I would not be here being the happy person I am. You should never let anyone tell you what you are and are not."

"I'll remember that."

They walked and join the rest of their family as they greeted the guests.

Everyone was complimenting Lena's dress and how Shen Milli was so thankful to have a great daughter like her.

Lena continued to put her public face but inside, she was silently waiting for Kris to arrive. When everyone stopped talking for a bit and looked at the door, Lena thought that maybe finally the Li family was here.

Sadly... it was just another big shop family, the Zhao's. They walked over to Lena and her parents.

"CEO Shen! You always know how to throw a good party." Zhao Lin spoke.

"So glad you and your family can make it." Shen Mao replied back.

"Our partnership has continued to grow both of our companies, we should continue to support each other."

"Absolutely."

The elders both separated from the children when they continued to talk business. Lena's eyes were still glued to the door.

"Are you waiting for Kris?" Ming Zhao asked.

"No." Lena replied. "He'll come sometime, whenever. You know... big shots never come on time or it's not cool."

Ming Zhao laughed... he never usually come on time to events. He did not know if Lena was just making a general comment or referring to him.

"Well, if you are not waiting for someone, let's go get a drink."

"It's over there, you can go yourself."

"You're supposed to put your good hostmask on."

Lena rolled her eyes and him but reluctantly lead them both to the drinks. She grabbed one for herself and handed the other one to Ming.

"By the way, where is your brother?"

"He was here... probably saw someone to hook up with and left. Why you ask?"

"Just wondering." Lena casually shrugged.

"What about me? You can ask about me. I have not seen you since... since you broke up with me."

"First of all, we were never a thing so we can't break up. And second of all, I have so many handsome men around me, I can't keep track and give them all attention. You know Kris is like a mojo tiger?"

"A mojo tiger...?" Ming cleared his throat.

Ming drank his glass of wine. Lena and he talked about the progress of Project Crystal and how Madam Zhou's fashion industry was doing. They were now at the opposite end of the room from the entrance.

When the Li family entered the event room, Lena did not immediately spot her man because she was laughing at Ming's jokes. However, the rest of the room defnitely felt the intense and powerful aura from the family.

Kris wore a light gray suit, matching with Lena's grey-blue dress. His mother had her hand on Kris arm, the first time that Kris had ever escorted her mother like that. The crowd was very cautious and that sight did not get missed.

Madam Li had a big grin, she was so happy that she can forever attend events being escorted by her son, just like any other old Madam her age. Even though Madam Li's smile was so big, Kris' face was dull as usual. No smile, no fear, no emotions.

His eyes glanced through the crowd but somehow, he could not spot his tigress.

"Auntie." A soft voice spoke.

Everyone finally spot a tall young woman next to Madam Li, opposite of Kris.

"Who is she? I have never seen her before."

"She called Madam Li, Auntie.... could she be from the Wang family?"

"The Wangs...? I don't remember seeing someone like her before."

The crowd started to murmur as Madam Li released her hand from Kris' arm and looked at Becca. "I am going to go talk with my friends, you young people can stop following me."

Madam Li spoke as if both of them wanted to follow her. Kris was ready to dump his sweat mother with her old lady crowd and go find Lena... and Becca was the one who was ready to follow Kris everywhere he went.
