Chapter 514 Is it a Bodhisattva or a Jackal?
Sheng Qianrui knew that the current Shengshi Group was like an aging old dog in front of the Xu Group.
Although it looks tall and mighty, it actually has no attack power at all.
Therefore, although she said this firmly, her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something, and it was sore and painful, and her eye sockets were uncontrollably hot.
She should have hated him, but for the first time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her bones when she saw Fang Li's calm, almost contemptuous gaze.
There was a murmur of discussion behind me, and soon an intimidating feeling approached from behind that was hard to ignore.
Not long after, a cold wind blew past her, and Xu Fangye's tall figure walked past her and came to Xu Fangli.
From a distance, his eyes fell on Fang Li. When he approached, his two sharp brows frowned slightly.
Fang Li knew what he was worried about. It was probably because Zhao Manqi said something and he thought she was wronged.
However, now seeing that she looked calm and her fingertips were casually turning the water cup, the tension in Xu Fangye's eyes relaxed a little.
When he turned to look at Sheng Qianrui, his lips were already covered with his usual faint smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes, and there was an unfathomable coldness hidden in his pupils.
Sheng Qianrui's heart tightened almost instantly.
The arrogance he had shown towards Zhao Manqi and others just now deflated like a popped balloon the moment he saw Xu Fangye.
She had heard rumors about Xu Fangye countless times from her father and at the project receptions of Shengshi Group.
He took charge of the Xu Group when he was in his early twenties. His wrist was as cruel as a poisoned knife, but he always had a nonchalant smile on his face. Many old foxes fell into his hands, but in the end they still had to smile and say, "Mr. Xu is a promising young man."
She tightened her grip on the hem of her skirt and tried to force out a decent smile: "Boss Xu, you're here."
There was a deliberately soft tone of flattery in his voice, and even his shoulders and back straightened subconsciously.
In front of this man, her so-called sense of superiority was not enough, but the stubbornness in her bones made her unwilling to appear too humble.
Xu Fangye acted as if he didn't hear anything and looked sideways at Fang Li. He had clearly come here out of concern, but the moment he opened his mouth he revealed a strong sense of disgust.
"What are you doing here alone? How can someone take over your own territory?"
These words seemed to be directed at Fang Li, but even a fool could tell who they were referring to.
Sheng Qianrui's face froze instantly, and she dug her fingertips into her palms to prevent herself from losing composure.
She gritted her teeth and tried to maintain a proper politeness: "Mr. Xu, Miss Xu and I have known each other in Beijing. We were just chatting casually."
Only then did Xu Fangye slowly raise his eyes, and when his gaze swept over her, it was as if he was looking at an insignificant decoration.
"Miss Sheng."
He drew out the tone, the smile on the corners of his lips deepened a little, but the coldness in his eyes became even stronger, "I heard that you have been very free recently?"
Sheng Qianrui was stunned: "Boss Xu...what do you mean?"
"It's nothing."
Xu Fangye picked up the untouched lemonade in front of Fang Li and touched the wall of the glass with his fingertips, as if testing the temperature.
"I just feel like, instead of wasting time trying to act like a rich girl in front of others, I should go back and look at my own company's financial reports. Oh, right!"
He suddenly turned to look at Sheng Qianrui, smiling innocently, "I heard that the Sheng family, in order to survive, even gave their most valuable land to X Group? They thought they could survive, but they didn't know they had already become a piece of fat meat in the mouths of others."
These words were like a slap in Sheng Qianrui's face.
Her heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "Boss Xu! You...what do you mean by this?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Fangye raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "Miss Sheng, instead of trying to establish a relationship with my sister, why don't you think carefully about what's happened recently? Or at least spend some of your father's coffin money to hire someone to investigate and find out whether the X Group you worship as your savior is a bodhisattva or a jackal?"
“.......”
He paused, his eyes fixed on her tense face, like a hook. "Or, as the former president of Shengshi Group, you are better at keeping an eye on other people's private affairs than the life and death of your Shengshi Group?"
Every word was like a needle, precisely piercing Sheng Qianrui's most embarrassing spot.
She wanted to retort, but when she met Xu Fangye's half-smiling eyes, all the words were stuck in her throat.
She knew that this man knew everything and he did it on purpose. He used the gentlest tone to say the harshest words when she was most embarrassed.
Xu Fangye didn't look at her again. He took Fang Li's hand and walked out.
When he passed Sheng Qianrui, he paused, turned his head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss Sheng, I hope you can consider your own weight before doing anything in the future. My sister has a good temper, but it doesn't mean that I have the same patience."
The moment the two walked away, Sheng Qianrui could no longer hold on and took a step back, hitting the edge of the table.
The wine glass on the table fell to the ground, and the shattering sound was extremely harsh.
She looked at the crowd in the distance who were toasting and chatting happily, and listened to the seemingly low voices but actually lowered comments about her. Her eyes were hot and sore, and her heart was filled with overwhelming humiliation and unwillingness.
Why?!
Why is Xu Fangli protected like this even though she doesn't do anything?!
Why is it that what she tried so hard to get is so insignificant in their eyes?
But no matter how unwilling she was, she could only bite her lips tightly.
Xu Fangye had said long ago that this was the Xu family's territory.
His warning was like a thorn, piercing Sheng Qianrui's heart, making her hate and fear him at the same time. Whenever she had any other thoughts, she would feel inexplicably frightened.
Sheng Qianrui admitted that this was the first time she felt panic since she was a child.
She didn't know what to do next?
Her father told her to seize this opportunity, establish connections with the wealthy families in Haicheng, and use these connections to make a comeback in Haicheng.
But what should she do now?
She was a person who was almost driven out of the capital. She finally tried to find a way to survive in Haicheng, but ended up provoking the person who should not be provoked in Haicheng...
A dazzling light flashed before Sheng Qianrui's eyes.
The light pierced her so much that she squinted her eyes and covered them with her hands.
When the light disappeared, something suddenly emerged in her mind.
She looked around nervously and panickedly, and finally saw something in a hidden corner.
Sheng Qianrui's heart tightened slightly. She met the pair of eyes lurking in the darkness, clenched her palms little by little, and made a decision with gritted teeth.
She took a deep breath and seemed to regain her confidence.
I turned around and looked for Xu Fangli in the banquet hall. I soon saw her wrapped in a shawl and opening the door to go to the lounge behind the banquet hall.
Sheng Qianrui held her breath, subconsciously glanced in the direction of the corner, then quickly raised her foot and followed in her high heels.
