Chapter 100 Mr. Xiao
When Shen Yi saw Yao Cen his eyes instantly lit up. They had a lot of good times together when they were just kids. At that time Yao Cen just looked like a little boy with short hair.
To his surprise, more than ten years later, the ugly duckling at that time had turned into such a bright and beautiful girl.
Her charming hair was loosely draped over her shoulders. Her delicate features were so breath-taking and beautiful that even if on her moist, sexy red lips was the deadliest poison, no man would refuse a chance to kiss her. She was wearing a fitting black suit and long skirt that set off her tall figure.
For a time he could hardly move his eyes from her.
“Shen Yi, it’s been a long time.”
He snapped out of it when Yao Cen greeted him.
“Yes, it’s been a long time.” He silently gulped and said.
“What? You can’t recognize me after all these years?” Yao Cen said with a smile.
Shen Yi knew he was being rude and began stammering, “How is that possible? You are as beautiful as you were.”
“You hypocrite. When we were kids, you never treated me as a girl.” Yao Cen laughed.
“Okay, we can talk when we eat. We better not eat after they all get cold.” At this time Liu Yunxiang said.
After everyone sat down, they soon started eating.
They all lifted their cups to congratulate the Yao family. Moreover, all the people of that group had brought gifts. When she saw those gifts, Liu Yunxiang felt overjoyed.
After eating and drinking for a while, they chatted casually.
Especially those classmates of Yao Jianguo, they were all drunk, and they couldn’t stop saying what was in their minds.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi’s eyes swept around Yao Cen from time to time. If he had known that Yao Cen would be so beautiful, he would have stayed when they moved out!
But it was just too late, and her husband had been sitting beside her. He was eating his meal all the time and never raised his head.
He had heard about this wimp for a long time. Now it seemed what they said was true. With so many big shots right in front of him, he should have taken his chances. He should at least do something to make people remember him a little. If he encountered something in the future, maybe they could help a little.
Although no one noticed it, Yao Cen had to face countless such stares every day.
She was already so familiar with them, and she could not help but feel some disgust in her heart.
“Recently several of my business partners are talking about a Mr. Xiao, have you all heard about it?”
Shen Xingye swirled his glass of wine and said slowly.
“Indeed. It is said that this man defeated a Tier Eight fighter from Old School Society at the Shadow Stage and won the championship. That’s quite a something. I heard he’s from Stillwater. He’s the pride of our city now.”
A chubby, slightly balding middle-aged man said.
His name was Xie Haijun, and he was currently the marketing director of a publicly traded company.
“Tier Eight fighter? Is that good?” One of them asked.
“It is said that such a fighter can win even one versus one thousand.”
Yao Cen subconsciously took a glance at Xiao Shun. This guy had been eating and hadn’t said much.
He was out for a few days. It should not be this bastard, right?
But she quickly dismissed the thought. Although she did know that Xiao Shun could fight, there was no way he could fight one versus a thousand.
“Really? That doesn’t sound very likely.” The man said in surprise.
“It is indeed true. I can take you there next year if you’re interested. This year I was caught up in some business and I couldn’t go. It’s such a regret!” Shen Xingye laughed.
“But that guy defeated a Tier Eight fighter, so wouldn’t he be even better?”
“He was undefeated. I heard that there were lightning and thunder on the stage. Mr. Xiao invoked a lightning bolt on that Tier Eight fighter, and he didn’t even have a chance to fight back. I’d really like to meet this Mr. Xiao, but this Mr. Xiao seems to be very mysterious. I’ve asked everyone, but I still don’t know anything about him.” Shen Xingye said.
Xiao Shun coughed lightly twice.
Where the fuck did this all come from?
The martial arts community had always been revered by the people.
Old School Society was an example. Although the vast majority of the people had never even met any of them, when they heard the name of Old School Society they were in awe.
“He is a true master. I’m afraid he has joined one of those tycoon families long ago.” Xie Haijun laughed.
“Eh, Yao Cen’s husband is also a Mr. Xiao. You are not that Mr. Xiao, right?”
These people knew something about her husband, and Xie Haijun deliberately joked about him.
However, Xiao Shun didn’t say anything. He was still eating and didn’t even look up.
“Xie, don’t joke about it. Not any Mr. Xiao can be that Mr. Xiao.”
They all knew Xiao Shun’s position in the Yao family, so they were making fun of him without any worries.
Yao Cen was just about to say something when Xiao Shun gently grabbed her delicate arm under the table. He laughed lightly and shook his head, signaling her to say nothing.
These people were all Yao Jianguo’s classmates, and today they were their guests.
Even if it was just for the sake of his father-in-law, Xiao Shun didn’t want to make the day a mess.
However, Yao Cen could not help but complain for him in her heart.
‘What is your problem? Do you have to talk about Xiao Shun? We didn’t even say anything!’
She suddenly froze, feeling puzzled.
‘Why would I suddenly mind so much about people attacking him. I used to be able to just let it happen, and although I occasionally felt bad when people taunted him, I have never had such a strong desire to defend him as I do now.’
Yao Cen could not help but look at Xiao Shun.
“Jiangou, has your son-in-law found a job now? Should I find something for him to do? He can start at the lowest level and learn something. He doesn’t look like he loves to talk, and that’s not good. If you can’t even talk, you can’t have a hope.”
Knowing that Xiao Shun was now helping out at the company with Yao Cen, Yao Jianguo hurriedly spoke up, “Well, don’t worry about that. They have a company now, and they have something to do.”
Although they were now hardly making any money, it was at least a business, and Yao Jianguo didn’t hesitate when he talked about it.
And, with Wang Bosong’s help, Yao Jianguo was pretty sure he would get the professor title this time. This was all because of Xiao Shun.
No matter what, he couldn’t back out.
“What company?” Shen Xingye felt interested and looked up at Yao Cen.
“Starline Bio. You should have heard of it. We bought this company.” Yao Cen said honestly.
They had spent so much time in the business world that Shen Xingye certainly knew about Starline Bio. Yet they looked at each other.
He said in a serious tone, “Good girl, that’s an abyss. I met its owner some years ago. He spent hundreds of millions for nothing at all. Why would you take over this mess?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
