Chapter 39 part 3

He meant that he had something to say.

She asked, “Grandfather?”

“Tongtong, Zhang Sheng’s charity dinner is tomorrow night, right?”

She thought for a while before remembering. She had been too busy lately and had forgotten about the charity dinner.

So what did the old man mean? He gave up his management of the company, but still wanted to set her up on a blind date.

But it was already this time, and she believed that the old man had no other ulterior motives, and he just wanted her to choose someone he liked from a parent’s perspective.

She couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Yes.”

“Tongtong, Grandfather knows you don’t like to hear this, and you think Grandfather is nagging, but I really care about you.” Old Master Xia said lightly, “Hongye, that girl, whether she gets married or not, Grandfather doesn’t care. She’s doing fine by herself, isn’t she? But I hope someone can stay by your side and take care of you.”

Old Master Xia circled around for a long time before finally spitting out a name, “Tongtong, Zhou Hanchi from Xinghui, you should have met him already, right?”

Her smile immediately froze.

Zhou Hanchi?!

Thinking back to when she saw Zhou Hanchi before, his gentle smile on his face and his mild tone of voice, Xia Shutong felt suffocated in her heart.

It seemed that his intention was not only to speak favorably of Ouyang Chao in front of her, but he also wanted to bring himself along!

Could it be he wanted to match Ouyang Chao and Yun Feiwu, him and with her?

Bah!

Dream on.

“Little Zhou has a gentle temperament, and he has built up Xinghui from scratch, which shows that his ability is not bad. Grandfather has thought it through for you. If you marry him, you can merge Xinghui into Wutong, and Wutong’s development scope will be wider.”

Xia Shutong did not hide her reluctance on her face, and then asked, “Grandfather, so you mean, when I went to Guicheng to visit the set last time and met President Zhou, it was also arranged by you?”

“Not really.” Old Master Xia smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Since you bumped into each other on the set, doesn’t that mean you are destined? Tongtong, President Zhou is also good-looking.”

“Grandfather, grandfather.” Xia Shutong couldn’t bear it anymore. “I’m going back to work. You rest well at home.”

She turned around and left the mansion like a fugitive.

Old Master Xia watched her back, his face complex, but finally, he sighed with relief and helplessness.

…

The next night.

The charity dinner only invited her alone, so Qian Lingling left temporarily after sending her to the hall.

The banquet hall was large and there were many people inside, but the decorations around were especially solemn and serious.

She learned that this dinner was originally scheduled to be held in January, but in the middle of it, the official staff suddenly approached the organizer and hoped to cooperate, so it was postponed until now, and the scale of the dinner was also much larger than before.

As soon as she walked into the hall, she clearly felt that countless eyes were cast on her. After seeing her face clearly, they shrank back weakly.

She wore a dark-colored dress today, with star-like diamonds embedded on it, shining with a dreamy light under the light. The dress slit at the thigh, revealing her fair leg muscles faintly, tempting to the extreme. She also wore a pure white fox fur shawl over it, with black curly hair scattered around her. A tear-shaped diamond was dotted under her apricot eyes.

She was beautiful and captivating, and at the same time, she outlined the powerful aura on her body that carried a hint of fierceness.

She looked around and licked her lips slightly.

Two months ago, she felt nervous from the bottom of her heart just by going to the aquarium. But now, even if she attended such a large-scale dinner alone, the slight nervousness in her heart was quickly suppressed.

In these two months, as she became more and more familiar with the company, gradually discovered the hidden threads she had laid down before, and successfully seized power from Xia Cha’s hands, she seemed to have subtly become more confident.

Her demeanor and actions in front of others gradually stopped being like a performance.
