In Bai Shu's eyes, she truly did not recognize this man, and his expression inexplicably caused her a pang of heartache.
She couldn't help but feel a little flustered and tried to break free, but the man held her wrist with a gentle yet undeniable strength, looking at her intently.
he……
Who is it?
"Oh my, isn't this President Xiao?"
The eerie silence was broken by a portly middle-aged man at a food stall.
He seemed to have just recognized a man dressed as a subordinate in a black suit behind Xiao Lingchen, and rubbed his hands together as he fawned over him.
"President Xiao! I'm Xiao Cao from Huiying Manufacturing. I had the pleasure of meeting you once when I was on a business trip with our company's boss. Why didn't you let me know you were coming? I would have loved to welcome you..."
He coughed with a gleam in his eye, then proudly introduced the company to the crowd: "This is Mr. Xiao Hongyu, the head of the Xiao Group in W City! You all know the Xiao Group, right? The one with assets in the hundreds of billions..."
The surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar, while the person in charge who was being welcomed complained bitterly.
Where did this idiot come from? The young master is still here!
Even if the young master is traveling incognito, does he think he deserves to steal the spotlight? Isn't this just trying to make him look bad in front of the young master?
The person in charge glared at the middle-aged man, then approached Xiao Lingchen respectfully and said in a low voice, "Young Master, should we take this...this young lady to the hospital?"
The middle-aged man felt a chill and his eyes widened in shock, like walnuts.
Who is this young man?
Even President Xiao is so respectful!
And—Young Master?
Could it be... could this be the legendary young master of the Xiao family? If I could get close to him—
Ahhh!
His face flushed instantly, as if he were seeing a golden, glittering road leading to the heavens. His hands trembled with excitement, and he instinctively tried to step forward: "Young Master Xiao, I—"
Before he could even get close, a bodyguard who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him away.
Xiao Lingchen ignored the farce and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Arrange for the best hospital nearby to go there immediately."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Shu was led into the car in a daze. Only after the car door closed did he realize, "My schoolbag! My schoolbag is still inside. I need to ask the boss for leave, otherwise they'll deduct my wages..."
Xiao Lingchen couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Xiao Shisan will handle it, don't worry."
The young girl nervously pursed her lips, cautiously looked up, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "You...I...I spilled the wine and dirtied your car. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. If you need compensation, I will definitely pay you—"
Xiao Lingchen reached out and rubbed her head, his gaze gentle: "It's just a car, a wash will do, why do you need compensation? Besides, you didn't fall on purpose. If anyone should be compensated, it should be the person who pushed you."
He nodded, his voice slightly deep: "Xiao Shisan."
A young man in the passenger seat turned around, beaming, and quickly replied, "Yes! Young Master, Miss, I've already given the orders to those troublemakers. They'll be caught soon, and we'll deal with them as appropriate. Don't worry."
As he spoke, he was still muttering to himself, "The young master's behavior today is definitely not right. What do you mean by 'just passing by'? He's clearly here on purpose to find this little girl."
The young master has never been romantic, let alone knows how to cherish a woman. When has he ever shown such care for a girl?
What happened today is practically comparable to a rain of blood from the sky!
