Lin Ying found out everything as early as the first day her father had the accident.
At present, Mr. Xie of the Xie family is seriously ill. Although he has barely survived, he will not be able to seek medical treatment in the future, and I am afraid he will even have difficulty taking care of himself.
The Xie family's wealth, which was not abundant to begin with, was squandered by their good-for-nothing son Xie Bowen more than a year ago. They have fallen to the point where the eldest daughter of the Xie family has to go out into the entertainment industry to earn money to support the family.
The only things that are still worth mentioning are Xie’s Pharmaceutical Company and Xie’s Pharmacy.
But these two things had already fallen into the hands of Mr. Xie's eldest disciple Tang Huaijin six or seven years ago, and even Xie Bowen only had less than 10% of the shares left.
It can be said that unless a miracle happens, within five years, the Xie family, once a century-old medical family, will be squeezed out of the Kyoto elite circle and completely defeated.
After such a serious illness, it is obvious that Mr. Xie will not live for many years.
If Xie Xihe had any brains, she would have realized that once Old Man Xie left, the only person she could rely on would be her senior brother Tang Huaijin.
Otherwise, with her beauty and lack of any skills, the only thing she could do was become someone's plaything.
Lin Ying's mind turned, and she looked at Xie Xihe again: "Miss Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Xihe...Xie Xihe didn't even consider it.
She was looking downstairs.
Sheng Shijing had just come back from paying the bill when he was blocked by someone. He didn't know what the other person said. From Xie Xihe's perspective, he could only see the man's lips showing indifference and impatience.
Perhaps he noticed Xie Xihe's gaze, he turned his head to look over, and when he met the girl's slightly raised eyebrows, a smile filled his dark eyes.
But the moment he looked away, his expression faded, and he said in a cold and indifferent tone, "For work matters, just talk to Manager Ruan. I have other things to do. Excuse me."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the other person again, but turned and walked towards Xie Xihe.
Chi Xuan was still dazed by Sheng Shijing's momentary tenderness. By the time she came to her senses, Sheng Shijing had already walked away.
Chi Xuan couldn't help but pursed her lips.
I really want to go up to him and say something, but everyone in the circle knows Sheng Shijing's temper. He has already refused so obviously now. If I don't know what's good for me and go up to him, it will be more trouble than good if I anger him.
Chi Xuan pondered for a moment and finally decided not to continue to pester him.
But he couldn't help but look in the direction Sheng Shijing was looking at before. When he saw the three people standing opposite each other at the stairs, his brows frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the girl who looked vaguely familiar.
He seems to be a newcomer in the entertainment industry. What’s his name, Xie?
Chi Xuan didn't have much impression, but she was relieved.
He is just an 18th-tier small-time artist. It is impossible for him to be related to an actor of Sheng Shijing's status. It must be just a coincidence.
A cold gaze fell on him. Chi Xuan was slightly startled, and finally came to his senses. He hurriedly nodded to Sheng Shijing and turned to leave.
Sheng Shijing calmly withdrew his gaze.
At the stairs.
Lin Ying waited for a long time but received no reply from Xie Xihe. Finally, she lost her patience and said coldly, "You are distracted when communicating with others and don't respond to what they say. Is this the family education of your century-old Xie family?"
She looked at Xie Xi and Guo Shujue's small faces, a dark glint in her eyes, and her tone became even colder: "I've heard that Miss Xie is taciturn, proud and arrogant. I used to think that three people make a tiger, but now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"I just wonder if Miss Xie will still be like this when she gets married and needs to rely on others for her livelihood?"
These were the words Sheng Shijing heard when he got closer. His expression froze, and his already cold face became even colder in an instant.
He raised his long legs and stepped over the last three steps, standing in front of Xie Xihe.
Sheng Shijing was very tall, more than a head taller than Lin Ying, so from Lin Ying's perspective, he could only see the other person's exquisitely crafted shirt and the watch on his wrist that was obviously worth a lot of money.
Looking at the other party's guarding posture, Lin Ying guessed the relationship between the other party and Xie Xihe without even thinking.
A sneer flashed across his eyes.
While looking up, he sneered and said, "No wonder you have no interest in my proposal. You must have found a backer. Thank you, Miss..."
The last word "means" was paused in her mouth. Lin Ying looked at the indifferent man opposite her, and her pupils trembled violently.
Sheng Shijing!
How could it be him?!
Sheng Shijing glanced at her casually and then looked away. He turned around and took the scarf from Xie Xihe's hand and put it on her. His voice was low but gentle: "It's a bit windy outside. Get dressed before going out."
The words that Xie Xihe was about to say were blocked by her scarf. She looked at the man in front of her quietly.
Sheng Shijing raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, his brows gentle: "They are just a few insignificant people, I will handle it."
All right.
Xie Xihe stopped talking.
A smile flashed across Sheng Shijing's eyes and he slowly turned around.
A pure and extraordinary face suddenly stopped smiling, and his expression became extremely cold: "If I remember correctly, this Miss Lin is the second young lady of the Su family, right?"
Lin Ying had just recovered from her shock and wanted to answer immediately after hearing this, but Lin Anyang spoke before her, full of pride: "Yes, my daughter is indeed the second young lady of the Su family, and Su Jinhe, the second young master of the Su family, is my son-in-law!"
He glanced at Sheng Shijing, chuckled, and said, "Since you know that my daughter is the second young lady of Su, then get out of here right away. This is a matter between my Lin family and the Xie family, and has nothing to do with outsiders."
After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and waited for Sheng Shijing to leave wisely, looking like a smug villain.
Sheng Shijing suddenly chuckled and turned to look at Lin Ying: "The Lin family's upbringing is quite good. No wonder they raised someone like Second Young Master Su, who is disrespectful to elders and self-righteous."
Lin Ying's face turned red in an instant and he was speechless for a long time.
It’s not that I don’t want to refute, but I dare not refute.
Although the Su family and the Sheng family are both among the four major families in Kyoto, the Su family is ranked last and only climbed up later. Whether in terms of foundation or strength, it is far behind the old-established families like the Sheng family.
Not to mention that Sheng Shijing is extremely favored by the old patriarch of the Sheng family and is recognized as one of the most difficult people to mess with in the noble circles of Kyoto.
Not to mention her, even if her husband Su Jinhe was here, she would not dare to offend him.
But she didn't dare. Her old father, who didn't know Sheng Shijing's identity, was indeed very brave.
Upon hearing Sheng Shijing's words, Lin Anyang instantly became unhappy. He immediately stepped forward and said, "What do you mean by disrespecting elders and being self-righteous? She's just the eldest daughter of a poor family. How can Xie Xihe be considered an elder?!"
