Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Domineering Female CEO vs. Commoner Xiao Bai Hua (Part 5) Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Domineering Female CEO vs. Commoner Xiao Bai Hua (Part 5) She raised the wine glass in her hand, gestured with it toward Lin Xiao, and downed it in one go.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly heated up, and everyone began to laugh and chat as if the incident that had just occurred was simply an illusion.
Long Tianruo had a cold temperament. Apart from a few close friends, she couldnât be bothered with anyone else. Yet, her stunning appearance meant that even if she didnât seek out others, they would come to her.
Gu Shengyin sat there patiently for an hour, feeling that it was about time to leave, so she got up and bid farewell to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was aware that her mere presence was already a great honor for him, so he didnât say much, only offering to escort her out.
Gu Shengyin declined his kind offer to walk her to the door, but Zhu Xiaoxiao cheerfully followed her out.
âWhy are you following me? Your brother will call to ask about you in a moment,â Gu Shengyin said somewhat helplessly as she looked at her.
Zhu Xiaoxiao pouted, âI donât like hanging out with them. Lin Xiao doesnât even know what kind of people he brought this time. Each one of them has no class. That in itself isnât great, but they still try to act sophisticated. It makes me sickâŠâ
Gu Shengyin listened to her go on and on, a smile unconsciously forming on her lips.
âTianruo!â A voice of surprise suddenly came from behind her.
Zhu Xiaoxiao shut her mouth, and the smile on Gu Shengyinâs lips disappeared in an instant.
The man quickly caught up from behind, and to Gu Shengyinâs annoyance, he, too, wore an over-the-knee coat similar to the one she wore. Those unaware might have thought the two were dressed in matching couplesâ outfits.
This man was Long Tianruoâs ex-boyfriend, Xia Ziqingâthe man for whom Wang Zhenzhen had fallen head over heels.
Having caught Long Tianruoâs eye and enchanted Wang Zhenzhen so that she only had eyes for him, Xia Ziqing indeed had the necessary appeal.
He was very handsome, textbook handsome, with sharp facial features and an infectiously bright smile. He had a tall and upright figure and, paired with the means to properly present himself, he had enough charm to be attractive to every woman.
Spotting her from a distance, he had hurried over, âTianruo, it really is you! Itâs been so long.â Xia Ziqing looked at Gu Shengyin without concealing the emotion in his eyes.
Gu Shengyin frowned, âXia Ziqing, is there something you need?â
Her cold response caused the light in Xia Ziqingâs eyes to dim. He looked down at Gu Shengyin with a dejected tone, âTianruo, Iâve missed you a lot.â
Before Gu Shengyin could speak, Zhu Xiaoxiao, with a displeased face, cut in, âXia Ziqing, how can you still have the face to say such things? Who was the man surrounded by women when you were with Sister Tianruo? Who was the man caught tangled up with another woman? And which man was it that those shameless women who showed up at the door were after? You really areâŠâ
Although she was wild in nature, her upbringing was good, and she couldnât bring herself to say anything too hurtful.
Even so, it was enough to make Xia Ziqingâs complexion turn pale.
Zhu Xiaoxiao watched, feeling greatly relieved inside, as she had never liked Xia Ziqing. She disliked his playboy reputation from the very beginning when Long Tianruo decided to date him. Moreover, for the man who had taken Sister Tianruo, her most admired figure, Zhu Xiaoxiao had absolutely no fondness.
Later, finding out that Xia Ziqing was flirting with anotherâs woman while dating Long Tianruo, Zhu Xiaoxiao held nothing but deep hatred for him.
