Ling Shen was nearly 30 centimeters taller than Qian Sui, who barely reached Ling Shen's shoulder. So when Ling Shen strode ahead, Qian Sui could only jog to keep up.
Even someone as naive as her noticed the exchange of glances between Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan after they entered the elevator. They seemed to take this matter very seriously. Since she had promised them, even if she couldn't help them, she couldn't hold them back.
So when Ling Shen walked forward, Qian Sui jogged to keep up, afraid that she would fall behind. Qian Sui even reached out and grabbed Ling Shen's sleeve. The expensive cufflinks were grabbed by Qian Sui, and Lu Jiayan was terrified when he saw it.
But Ling Shen indulged him.
Upon arriving at the private room, the waiter standing at the door seemed to have been waiting for some time. He nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ling, Mr. Mo has been waiting inside for quite some time."
Ling Shen nodded slightly. The waiter opened the door to the private room, and the moment the door opened, Ling Shen reached out and grasped Qian Sui's hand.
Qian Sui was startled and looked up at Ling Shen in surprise, only to be met with a pair of smiling eyes.
Although Ling Shen's gaze towards Qian Sui had been smiling, Qian Sui could sense that the smile from before was completely different from the one she was seeing now.
As for how they differ, the Emperor couldn't explain it yet.
Ling Shen looked at Qian Sui with a smile, holding Qian Sui's hand in his, looking extremely ambiguous.
Several people were sitting in the private room. The moment the door opened, all eyes were focused on this side, some of them with hostile gazes. But Ling Shen didn't care. He withdrew his gentle, moonlit gaze from Qian Sui and then led her into the private room.
The elderly man sitting in the main seat had white hair and wrinkled skin, with a kind and gentle expression, yet he also possessed an imposing presence.
Old Master Mo glanced at Ling Shen, and there was indeed some dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Looking at the several young people dressed in fine clothes next to him, their eyes were filled with mockery, as if they were deliberately waiting to see Ling Shen make a fool of himself in front of the old man.
Ling Shen ignored the stares and led Qian Sui to Old Master Mo, nodding slightly to apologize for being late.
"Sir, I went to pick up my girlfriend from school just now, so I'm a little late. I'm really sorry. I'll punish myself with a drink here."
As he spoke, Ling Shen took a glass of wine from the waiter next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
Qian Sui frowned in confusion.
girlfriend?
What's the meaning?
I had long heard that Ling Shen, the heir of the Ling Group, was ruthless in his actions. After several years in the business world, he had expanded several industries with great ambition and decisiveness, earning him the nickname "Young Asura".
Many people couldn't stand his arrogance and came forward to advise him, or felt that he was taking away their interests and tried to use their seniority to suppress Ling Shen. But Ling Shen didn't buy it. No matter who you were, he rejected everyone who came and didn't give them any face.
The way he's treating Old Master Mo now is quite a show of respect.
But Old Master Mo didn't appreciate it.
Ling Shen was indeed in the wrong in what happened before. Old Master Mo, a Buddhist, hated people like him who were full of hostility and only cared about their own interests.
So after Ling Shen offered a toast to apologize, Old Master Mo snorted coldly and didn't accept his apology at all.
Those sitting around, from rival companies, all lowered their heads and chuckled.
Ling Shen had always been arrogant in front of them before, so it was really satisfying to see him suffer a setback.
But Ling Shen didn't care.
There were two empty seats next to Grandpa Mo, which were originally reserved for Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan. Now that Ling Shen has brought Qian Sui, these two empty seats are reserved for them, and Lu Jiayan is waiting next to him.
Ling Shen pulled Qian Sui down to sit, considerately pulling out a chair for her so she could sit comfortably.
Grandpa Mo had never heard of Ling Shen having a girlfriend before. This young master, who was top-notch in appearance, family background, and ability, was always surrounded by glamorous models and celebrities in his romantic affairs. Now, looking at the girl he brought, she was stunningly beautiful, with pure eyes that seemed untouched by worldly affairs. She also had a strong sense of Zen in her eyes. She was completely unsuitable for Ling Shen.
It's a real shame that girls with this kind of temperament have fallen into the hands of a heartless scoundrel like Ling Shen.
Grandpa Mo made no attempt to hide his bewilderment. He glanced at Qian Sui and said, "You have a girlfriend? You must have tricked her into it."
Lu Jiayan behind him remained silent. It was indeed obtained through deception, and it had just been obtained through deception.
But he dared not utter a sound.
Qian Sui remembered what Ling Shen had said earlier: no matter what Ling Shen said, just agree with him. So when faced with questions, she just stayed obediently by Ling Shen's side, without saying a word, just smiling.
When Grandpa Mo saw it, he thought, "Oh dear, she's so naive she's practically a fool. She must have been tricked."
Ling Shen smiled slightly, concealing his success and fame.
He said, "I've been with my girlfriend for a while now, and as others have said, I am indeed an atheist."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Mo became angry and gave Ling Shen a cold snort, showing him no kindness whatsoever.
The head of the rival company seized the opportunity to sarcastically remark, "You're an atheist, yet you deceived the Buddhist old man. Mr. Ling, that's not a fair thing to do."
Ling Shen's respect for Old Master Mo did not mean he would be respectful to everyone. Upon hearing the other's voice, the gentleness in his eyes vanished instantly. He threw a cold glare at him, a sneer on his lips, and said, "Whether my actions are ethical or not is not for you, Mr. Zhang, to judge. After all, what you have done is far more heinous than what I have done."
He's currently investigating what they did on the land he developed, and once the evidence is conclusive, these people will be in deep trouble.
After all, being soft-hearted in doing things is not Ling Shen's style.
His style is to eliminate everyone without hesitation.
The other party also sensed Ling Shen's aura, silently shut up, and told himself to keep his composure, that there would be plenty of opportunities to embarrass Ling Shen in the future.
Ling Shen turned his head again to face Grandpa Mo, his expression warm and gentle. He never let go of Qian Sui's hand, and his eyes were full of doting affection as he looked at Qian Sui.
Indeed, love can be faked.
Ling Shen said, "Grandpa, I am indeed an atheist, but the person next to me is not."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Mo gave a soft "hmm?" and looked at Qian Sui, carefully examining the girl's appearance.
He had switched back to his previous prayer beads, slowly turning them in his hand. His gaze towards Qian Sui always carried the air of an elder, after all, he had been on the battlefield and was a prominent figure in Hong Kong's business world in his youth. His aura was quite powerful, and anyone else would feel oppressed by such a gaze.
But Qian Sui didn't feel anything at all. Even when Mr. Mo looked into her eyes, Qian Sui looked directly at him and returned a very obedient smile.
Old Master Mo, who had been scrutinizing people with his eyes, suddenly felt a pang of unease.
This girl looks familiar.
