Yaode Hotel.
Xie Xihe glanced at the man standing in front of another elevator about six or seven meters away from him and fell silent.
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Sheng Shijing turned his head, a smile in his dark eyes, and said, "I'm not lying to you. My dad heard that you were coming here too, so he asked me to bring you over."
After a pause, he added, "Family dinner."
Xie Xihe: “…”
She couldn't help but hum softly, and just as the elevator arrived, she walked in.
Sheng Shijing smiled slightly and walked in.
*
Third floor, Wangjiang Hall.
In the bright and dazzling banquet hall, an exquisite crystal chandelier hangs high above the head, reflecting the light into a brilliant glow, and also illuminating the room full of elegantly dressed people in crisp suits.
In the noisy crowd, a group of young girls gathered together and were particularly conspicuous. At this moment, they kept looking towards the door.
There was a look of gloating in his eyes that he tried hard to suppress, but it was revealed uncontrollably.
At this moment, a rather flamboyant girl suddenly approached the other girl and lowered her voice, saying, "It's already this late and he hasn't come yet. Wanrou, do you think Mr. Xie knows he doesn't meet the standards and doesn't dare to come?"
The girl called Wanrou had a typical oval face and a classical air. Upon hearing this, she smiled softly and said, "No, Xihe has always been tenacious and is not someone who gives up easily."
Hearing this, Chen Mengyue couldn't help but sneered: "Tenacious? Just her?"
"She locks herself in a separate training room every time she trains, and refuses to participate in the production team's activities. Who knows what she does every day? If this is considered tenacity, then don't we all have extraordinary perseverance?"
"Wanrou, you're just too kind. You're still defending her at this time. If you ask me, it's best if she doesn't come. She's just a pretty face that attracts a lot of fans and haters. She won't lower the level of our entire trainee team!"
And we have to compete with them for the outside world's attention!
As Chen Mengyue spoke, she added another sentence in her heart.
When it comes to Xie Xihe and Shen Mengyue, she can't stop complaining. After a brief pause, she continued, "I really don't understand. Coach Zhou usually takes better care of Xie Xihe, but now that she's skipping the competition, why is he still pleading for her?"
"They even put on this whole party. If she's lucky enough to meet the standards, that'll be fine. But if she can't even reach the minimum standard, how will everyone view Teacher Zhou?"
"He even sacrificed his reputation for a pretty face. What's the point of this, Professor Zhou? It can't be true as the rumors say, that Professor Zhou..."
"No." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by two words with a stronger tone.
Chen Mengyue then realized that the person in front of her was Teacher Zhou's sister. It was indeed inappropriate to talk about her brother's faults in front of others.
She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Wanrou. I just can't stand Xie Xihe relying on his good looks to flirt with other women everywhere. I feel bad for Teacher Zhou as well. I didn't mean anything else. Don't take it to heart."
Zhou Wanrou quickly suppressed her annoyance, put on a smile again and said, "It's okay, I know what you mean, but you misunderstood. My brother really didn't mean anything else. He just...he just wanted to repay a favor."
"Repay a favor?" Chen Mengyue blinked, curious, "Then Xie Xihe actually owes a favor to Teacher Zhou?"
Zhou Wanrou chuckled again and said, "It's not Xihe, it's her father, the old man of the Xie family."
"As you know, the Xie family is a family of medicine, and Old Master Xie is a famous doctor in Kyoto. Back then, my brother's mother... I mean, my mother."
"When my mother was seriously ill, our family searched for famous doctors but none of them could cure her. In the end, it was Mr. Xie who saved her."
"Although it was only one extra year of life, my brother has always been filial. This alone is enough to make him remember Mr. Xie's kindness. That's why he has been taking extra care of Xihe."
Chen Mengyue suddenly realized: "So that's what's going on!"
"But how can this be considered a favor? It's the doctor's duty to save lives and treat illnesses. Your family must have paid for the consultation. This is absolutely what they should do!"
Zhou Wanrou smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.
Chen Mengyue wanted to say something else, but at this moment, she suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously turned her gaze away.
When she saw it, she was stunned.
Zhou Wanrou was still waiting for her to continue talking, to see if there was a chance for her to reveal something more, but she was slightly startled when she saw this, and immediately looked in the direction she was looking.
When she saw the figure of the girl not far away, her heart trembled and her pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!
I saw a familiar figure strolling towards the wide entrance.
The girl wore a fishtail skirt with a waist that perfectly outlined her slender and graceful figure. Her long hair, curled into big waves, was casually draped over her shoulders. She looked three parts lazy, three parts charming, and a bit noble, looking down on everything!
Coupled with that face that was extremely beautiful even without any expression, Fang attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared!
A room of surprise!
And this person... this person is actually Xie Xihe!!
Zhou Wanrou looked in a certain direction almost subconsciously.
When she saw the man who was also staring at Xie Xihe in a daze, her fingers holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, and her eyes finally revealed uncontrollable jealousy.
But it quickly disappeared the next moment, returning to its usual dignified and elegant appearance.
She said casually, "Is this Xihe? I haven't seen her for just two days, but she looks like a completely different person. I almost didn't recognize her."
