Chapter 207 - Unadulterated or Thieves
He was at the airport, waiting for the plane to fly to Paris in five minutes' time. All sorts of things had happened recently that he couldn't handle.
Several high-ranking officials in Paris had already been arrested by the Paris police. He was always more cautious in the field of construction, plus the construction industry was more tightly controlled in Paris. He had warned them not to make any mistakes in the construction industry more than once, but who would have thought that the internal affairs would still go awry? Who in the world was daring enough to do so much under his nose?
He had personally groomed all of the upper echelons. Every single one of them had worked with him before, and it could be said that they were all his trusted aides. He didn't want to doubt any of them.
"Don't let me down. I hope he isn't one of you."
He murmured softly.
"CEO, you can board the plane now."
The assistant beside him reminded him.
Five days have passed and I have not returned. I was a little flustered, didn't I say that I would only be gone for two days? It had already been two days, why hadn't he come yet?
"Hey! Lin Xiang! "
I didn't rest well for a few days. My eyes were full of dark green, but I didn't expect to meet Zhao Xiyan. The two of them could only be considered ordinary friends, and subconsciously, I wanted to avoid Zhao Xiyan, but at the same time, I was grateful.
"Senior, why are you here?"
I laughed a little pale. After saying this, I suddenly felt that my question was a little unnecessary. This shop was opened by Zhao Xiyan, so Zhao Xiyan's appearance here wasn't too strange. On the contrary, my question was a little strange.
What's the matter with me these days? Is it because I haven't heard from anyone in five days?
"Of course I'm waiting for you, Lin Xiang." Probably because he noticed that my expression wasn't good, "However, Lin Xiang, did something happen to you during this period of time? You haven't been back to that apartment in a long time. "
As Zhao Xiyan spoke, his face carried a trace of worry. Hearing this, I was stunned. What did Zhao Xiyan mean by what he said? Could it be that I was really that obvious? Also, why would Zhao Xiyan pay attention to my return to my apartment?
No matter if I go back or not, nothing will happen between me and Zhao Xiyan.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Senior. I've been doing quite well recently."
I need to tell others about my own misfortune. Even if I tell them, they won't be able to empathize with me, and I don't want them to feel sorry for me.
Even though Zhao has helped me more than once.
Almost at the same time that I had this thought, I pretended to go to the counter to check out the bill, but Zhao Xiyan pressed me down onto a chair.
"Senior, please let me go first. I still have things to do."
I looked at my hands on my shoulders and frowned.
"Lin Xiang, don't worry, the reason I'm looking for you today is mainly because I want to find you for help, but it's not good for me to speak directly to you."
As Zhao Xiyan spoke, he released my shoulder and sat opposite me, speaking seriously.
I was puzzled. What did Zhao Xiyan need my help with? After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "It's alright, go ahead."
Zhao Xiyan is a Great Shadow Emperor, and I am just a minor actor.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiyan drank a few mouthfuls from the cup in front of him. That is my cup. I looked at the cup, not knowing what to say.
"Lin Xiang, I want to ask you to pretend to be my girlfriend, you should know about my situation, but my mom is not in good health right now, the only thing she wants to see is me getting married.
"She's getting worse and worse, because when she was young, she was a little bit worse off than most people. I didn't want to look for you, but my mom talks about you every day."
As Zhao Xi spoke, I interrupted him.
"Senior, I understand how filial you are to your elders, but I really can't. I'm now a wife with a gentle personality, and I'm already pregnant. I'm about to become a mother, so I really don't know how to respond to your request."
Zhao Xiyan looked at me and probably understood what I was going to say.
He didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a folder from his bosom and placed it in front of me.
"What is this?" Could it be money? It can't be that Zhao Xiyan thinks he can bribe me with money, right?
I looked at Zhao Xiyan, waiting for his explanation.
"I heard that you are about to get engaged to the young miss of the Zhang Family, Zhang Mancha. I don't know if they informed you, but I've already received the invitation letter."
When I heard this, my eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be? How could it be possible for me to get engaged? If there was, then I should have been told of it after a period of time.
Furthermore, I am currently husband and wife. How can I possibly have a wife on this side while the other side is already preparing to get engaged?
Although he would be gentle sometimes, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Furthermore, everyone knows that the gentler is married, and the softer's wife is me, Lin Xiang. By doing this, where is he going to put himself?
Where did he put me?
Even though I subconsciously shook my head, suspicion still arose in my heart. The person who was with him that day was Zhang Mancha, but was it because Zhang Mancha lied to me, or was it because Zhang Mancha killed our child?
Zhang Mancha is a gentle and innocent girl, she likes Zhang Mancha from the start. If Zhang Mancha was here a long time ago, she definitely wouldn't have anything to do with me, it's just an accident between the two of us.
Were they engaged?
There was still a hint of worry on Zhao Xiyan's face.
"Lin Xiang, I was hesitating on whether I should tell you or not, but I am your senior after all, and my mother likes you a lot.
As Zhao Xiyan spoke, he opened the folder on the table. Inside was indeed an invitation.
The patriarch of the Bo's family was so gentle with the Zhang family's daughter, Zhang Mancha, that he was actually going to be engaged to Zhang Mancha. Since he already had the invitation, what should I do?
How could you leave me to be engaged to another woman?
My heart was so confused that I no longer had the heart to hide my expression. All my worries were written all over my face.
Zhao Xiyan handed me the napkin on the table.
"Lin Xiang, actually, you don't have to be sad either. Zhang Mancha's engagement to Yanzhi might not even succeed, you and Yanzhi have not gotten a divorce, right?"
I nodded.
It's precisely because I haven't even divorced Slow down, that I feel so sad when I'm Slow down, when I'm engaged to Zhang Mancha, and even hid it from him.
And the timing was just right because my kid might have
Seeing that I was in a bad mood, he immediately continued to speak, "Lin Xiang, you should think carefully about how you got divorced from Gentle Ward. You should not continue to get involved with him treating you like this, since you have matters to attend to, you can look for me and I will help you."
I jerked my head up and looked at Zhao Xiyan.
"Senior, why are you telling me this? And even if that's the case, I still can't go with you to see Aunty. "
Although I'm sad and gentle about my engagement to Zhang Mancha, I'm not stupid, and I can't pretend to be someone else's girlfriend without a divorce. We know it's fake, but what about the others?
What do people think?
Perhaps by doing so, I will be able to slow down and push it further. I still have a chance to fight for it.
"Because you are my friend, you look like I just entered the showbiz. Seeing you is like seeing my past, I don't want to see my past sadness."
The sincerity in his eyes moved me a little. Maybe I was just overthinking it, but Zhao Xiyan really wanted to help me.
It wasn't that I wanted to use this information to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Why did I become like this? I almost misunderstood the senior's good intentions.
"Senior, thank you. Also, I need to apologize to you, but I've thought too much into it. If Senior needs to see Auntie another day, please contact me. I haven't seen Auntie for a long time."
I said apologetically.
Zhao Xiyan gently smiled, and said. "Lin Xiang, there's no need for that. No matter who it is, when faced with such a thing, they would all have this kind of thought.
