Those who came to attend Mr. Sheng’s birthday party today were all well-known people in the Beijing circle, either the heads of wealthy families in Kyoto, or the tycoons from various parties. Therefore, most people did not pay much attention to the affairs of the entertainment industry, and therefore most people did not recognize Xie Xihe.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at her curiously, and many people whispered about it.
Lin Ying stood among the ladies, listening to their discussion, and suddenly sneered.
Someone noticed and couldn't help but look at her with a hint of dissatisfaction, then asked with a twitch of his lips, "What does Second Madam Su mean by this?"
Lin Ying, wearing a snow-white wide-leg satin jumpsuit and a vibrant lip color, curled her lips again upon hearing this and said, "I'm laughing at some people who, relying on their looks, not only flirt with other people everywhere but also go to Old Master Sheng's birthday party and try to steal the show."
He paused, then glanced at the noble ladies around him: "He pretended to be so noble, and actually managed to deceive quite a few people."
The ladies were upset at first and felt a little angry, but then they came to their senses.
They exchanged a glance and said hesitantly, "Are you talking about the young lady next to Mr. Sheng and Miss Zhong?"
"Who else could it be?" Lin Ying raised his chin. In the distance, Xie Xihe had just stood next to a group of old men. No one knew what he said, but Old Master Sheng actually asked his servants to add a seat for Xie Xihe not far from him.
Lin Ying's eyes lit up with sarcasm as she continued, "She's just a daughter from a small family. Even her father, Old Master Xie, is still standing, yet she's so arrogant that she sits directly next to Old Master Sheng."
Thank you, Mr.
The ladies looked at each other again, becoming even more uncertain. "Are you talking about Mr. Xie Bowen? She is Xie Bowen's daughter, the legendary unlearned eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Xihe?"
"Isn't it her? You didn't see it. When the father and daughter first arrived at the Sheng family, they staged a great internal struggle."
At this time, someone who had witnessed the scene in front of the Sheng family's door not long ago came over and said with a gossipy look on his face.
"I don't know what kind of magic potion these father and daughter have poured into the Sheng family. In order to take charge of them, the old housekeeper Sheng personally came forward and kicked out Mr. and Miss Xie from the Xie family."
"Then Miss Xie is also the fiancée of the eldest son of the Sheng family, wow." The man continued.
The ladies' expressions changed from hesitation to weirdness, and their gazes towards Xie Xihe changed completely.
Especially when you glance at her face, which is so beautiful because of drinking, it is no different from looking at a vixen.
Of course, some people felt something was amiss and whispered, "I heard my father-in-law mention that Mr. Xie has been treating Mr. Sheng since he was young. They have a very good personal relationship. This must be because of Mr. Xie's face, right?"
"How is that possible? Relationships are relationships, and occasions are occasions. Didn't you see the heads of the other three families were here today? Even they didn't get this treatment, so what right did Xie Xihe have? She's just a junior. What qualifications does she have?"
"I've heard a rumor that said Mr. Sheng was seriously injured and almost couldn't be saved. It was a very young female doctor from Jiuhe Hospital who saved his life. What do you think? Could that female doctor be Xie Xihe? After all, Mr. Xie's medical skills are obvious to all. As Mr. Xie's daughter..."
"That's even more impossible. Mr. Xie is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and the one who saved Mr. Sheng was a surgeon. They're completely unrelated. Besides, Xie Xihe is so young. Even if he knows medical skills, he only knows the basics at best. How could he be better than the senior doctors at Jiuhe Hospital?"
“…”
Amidst the discussions, Lin Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly took a glass of red wine from the waiter and left the crowd.
A noble lady noticed it and quickly glanced at her companions. Everyone immediately stopped discussing and looked at Lin Ying's back with great interest.
"I heard that the father of that principal, Mrs. Su, was brought down by someone and had some connection to the Xie family. Tsk, I'm afraid there's going to be something interesting to watch..."
Someone whispered.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ying had already stopped in front of Xie Xihe.
Although Xie Xihe felt a little dizzy, he was still conscious and just felt a little sleepy.
Lin Ying noticed it as soon as he approached her, and looked up.
Lin Ying lowered her head at the same time, smiled at Xie Xihe, and greeted her, "Miss Xie, long time no see."
Xie Xihe narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person for two seconds. He recognized him, but made no move to return the greeting. He said lazily, "You're blocking the light."
Lin Ying tightened her grip on the wine glass slightly, feeling unhappy.
But Mr. Sheng was not far away, so she didn't dare to show it too obviously. She could only maintain a smile and said, "Miss Xie, I want to discuss business with you. I wonder if you..."
This time, he was interrupted by Xie Xihe before he could finish his words.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Lin Ying with undisguised impatience, saying, "What's your habit of talking about business with everyone you meet? I'm not interested. Madam Su, please find someone else."
He said again: "It's blocking the light."
Lin Ying saw it and almost lost his temper.
However, he could only move aside a step to make way for the light blocked by her, and continued, "My grandfather is ill and has been bedridden for over a year. Many doctors have been consulted, but to no avail. I heard that Miss Zhong and Mr. Sheng were both cured by Miss Xie, so I would like to ask you..."
Oh, to see a doctor...
If it was someone else, and the money was enough, Xie Xihe wouldn't be inconsiderate, but the other person was Lin Ying...
Xie Xihe was indifferent and ruthless: "I don't like you, I won't watch."
Lin Ying's expression cracked inch by inch, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's for the old man of the Su family to see a doctor, not me..."
"But it's you who asks me for it." Xie Xihe was indifferent.
When did I beg you?
I'm talking business with you!
Lin Ying roared inwardly, barely holding it back. "Mr. Xie is a kind-hearted doctor, and he has always had an excellent reputation. Since Miss Xie has inherited Mr. Xie's medical skills, it's only natural that she has also inherited his style."
"The old man would try his best to help even ordinary people who came to him for help. My Su family is still a relative of the Xie family, but Miss Xie just refused. Isn't she afraid of ruining the old man's reputation?"
Xie Xihe glanced at her strangely: "My dad is my dad, and I am me. If I refuse your request, what does it have to do with my dad?"
After a pause, he continued: "You also said that my father is a kind-hearted doctor, so why don't you go and ask my father for help."
Lin Ying: “…”
What should I do if I can’t find any rebuttal?
Zhong Yuxiu was standing by, and seeing her hazy eyes but clear mind as she argued with others, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At the same time, she stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Xihe, smiling faintly, saying, "Since this is a business negotiation, then it should be based on mutual consent. Now that Miss Xie is unwilling, why should Second Young Madam force her?"
His expression was still gentle, and his voice was soft: "Or does the Su family like to talk business like this?"
