Chapter 323: Hypocritical Acting
The woman's cheeks were pink, and her lips were slightly swollen after being ravaged for several minutes, and the color was delicate and tempting.
Coupled with her slightly embarrassed and angry eyebrows, her white teeth bit her lips in annoyance, and her watery eyes glared at him angrily.
Han Xi felt a little regretful as soon as he let go.
Although he wanted to ignore everything and immediately push the woman into the car to release his impulse, he tried his best to hold back when he thought about the woman's reaction if he did so.
He just put his arm around her neck, tilted his head and kissed her beautiful lips hard again, then let go happily.
"I have a social event tonight."
"......." Fang Li didn't say anything, just breathing heavily.
Han Xi held her hand and gently stroked it, his voice charming and pleasant, "I will finish as soon as possible. Don't separate from Yu Tian when you go to the crew."
"Although I believe that Ali is capable of solving problems on her own, as a husband, I still hope that you will think of me first if something happens."
"A-Li, we are husband and wife. Don't be afraid to bother me, and don't try to be stubborn. I've said before that having resources and not using them isn't independence. Only those who know how to utilize them are truly smart."
Listening to the man patiently arranging things, Fang Li's anger quickly dissipated.
Pursing her lips, she nodded gently, "I know, don't worry."
-
After separating from Han Xi, Fang Li went upstairs and then drove to the crew with Yu Tian.
I don’t know if Li Fan hasn’t figured out how to deal with the change of person, or if he is still satisfied with the current script. After most of the day, the filming has been going smoothly. At least no one is clamoring to change the script.
Li Fan didn't cause trouble, and Fang Li wouldn't take the initiative to find fault either. They just sat quietly under the tent and wrote something.
On the other side, Han Xi's phone kept ringing before five o'clock.
Han Xi only told Fang Li that he had a social engagement, but did not say with whom.
After hanging up the phone countless times, the other party called again. Han Xi finally frowned and picked up the phone to answer it.
"Xiu Jin, everyone is here. When exactly will you arrive?!"
The person who called was Han Ming. His tone was not very good and it could be heard that he was trying hard to control his temper.
Han Xi didn't react. He looked at the time and said calmly, "Don't worry. I don't like to be late. We're about 6:30. I'll be on time."
"But..." Han Ming was still talking when Han Xi hung up the phone.
The people in a private room watched as Han Ming was hung up.
Han Ming's face froze and he almost smashed his phone on the spot!
If he didn't have something to ask of him, why would he speak to him in such a humble manner!
He turned around and looked at the Sheng family father and daughter who had arrived long ago, and said with a sullen face: "He has something else to do, so he might be late. Wait."
Han Xi didn't even give face to him as his father, so what could the Sheng family father and daughter say?
Just wait.
For the sake of Shengshi Group and the Sheng family, waiting for two hours is nothing.
Ever since the fake engagement happened, the Sheng family has been in a gloomy mood for several days.
The stock price of Shengshi Group gradually stopped falling after Sheng Qianrui announced her resignation, but the previous decline did not recover, and the market value evaporated in the few days when public opinion erupted.
This incident was a devastating disaster for Shengshi Group.
If Shengshi Group did not have several projects that had been performing well and the group's foundation was not there, this incident would probably have caused Shengshi Group to collapse instantly.
But despite this, the current Shengshi Group is already at the end of its strength.
Although Han Xi has not yet said whether he will still cooperate with Shengshi on the Taihu Bay project, they have already heard rumors that if the Taihu Bay project is lost, the loss will be secondary. They are just afraid that when the time comes, everyone will push the wall down, and public opinion alone will be enough to crush Shengshi.
Han Xi really kept his word and it was 6:30 as he said.
Not a minute more or less, at 6:30 he brought Lin Mo into the private room.
It was only after entering the private room that he discovered that there were only four people sitting in the room, including Han Ming, Lin Wenfang, and the Sheng family father and daughter.
Han Xi stopped as soon as he stepped in, looked at Han Ming, and said in a cold voice, "Where's grandpa?"
"Not yet."
Han Ming's face still wasn't very good, but seeing that he had finally arrived, he managed to recover a little, "The driver said he's on the way, come over and sit first."
Han Xi's brows darkened, he was silent for a few seconds, then he walked in.
"Xiu Jin, come and sit over here!"
Sheng Jinghui has been immersed in the business world for so many years. When he saw Han Xi again after that incident, although he tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, his voice sounded a little embarrassed.
Han Xi pulled the corners of his stiff lips, walked over with an indifferent expression, and sat down next to Sheng Jinghui.
Sheng Jinghui was wearing a black Chinese suit, and the string of beads that he always wore on his hand was gone. Although he still looked plump and wealthy, it was obvious after not seeing him for a few days that he had lost a lot of weight.
Seeing Han Xi sitting down, the embarrassment on his face became even more intense.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment and I didn't know how to start again.
After Han Xi sat down, he took out his cell phone and lowered his eyes to deal with emails from abroad.
Sheng Jinghui glanced at Han Ming opposite him somewhat unnaturally. Han Ming gave him a soothing look, then said with a somewhat displeased expression:
"Your uncle Sheng is sitting next to you, what's with your attitude?"
What Han Ming couldn't stand the most about Han Xi was his attitude of never taking anyone seriously.
After all, he is his father and Sheng Jinghui is his elder. What's the point of him acting so indifferent?
"It's okay, Xiu Jin must be busy, let him go first."
Sheng Jinghui didn't dare to make Han Xi unhappy again at this time, so he hurried out to smooth things over.
After all, Han Xi's position as general manager and chairman of the Han family is very important. No matter what he asks the Han family to do, he has a veto.
Han Xi seemed not to have heard Han Ming's words at all. He dealt with the last few emails in an orderly manner, then turned off his phone and looked up.
"Is Grandpa coming?"
Han Ming's expression froze, his eyes slightly evasive. "Of course, the old man is presiding over this event today, so how could he not come?"
Han Xi didn't say anything, just looked at Han Ming quietly.
Han Ming looked uncomfortable under his gaze and said stiffly, "It's just that there might be some traffic at this hour, so it might take a while."
Sheng Jinghui: "It's okay, safety comes first, we'll be fine if we wait."
"That won't work. Who knows how long the traffic will last? I can't just let you and Qian Rui sit there like this. I've already told the waiter to serve a few dishes first so we can eat them first and then re-order when the old man arrives."
Seeing Han Ming busying himself with things in a serious manner, Han Ming suddenly curled his lips, turned his eyes away indifferently, and looked at the teacup in his hand.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Should we wait a little longer?"
"Old Sheng, there's no need to be so polite with the relationship between our two families. Don't worry, even if the old man comes, he won't mind. Listen to me, let's eat first and wait while we eat!"
"Is that so? Then...I'll listen to you?"
Listening to the two people's hypocritical acting, Han Xi felt a little irritated.
Although he knew it from the beginning, when Han Ming called to say that his grandfather had invited two families to clear up the previous misunderstanding and asked him to attend, he knew it was fake.
The reason why he didn't refuse at the beginning was that he wanted to see what these people wanted to do.
