Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Then she'll play along with him! Who's afraid of who?

But for someone like Xing Chen, who even the director has to bow down to, there are a myriad of ways to deal with her.

Why choose the most complicated one?

Is it interesting to tangle with her like this?

Ran Xiangsi couldn't understand the thoughts hidden in this man's eyes, but she knew she had to swallow her pride and endure for now...

Who told her to forget to wipe the fingerprints off the gun!

"Hello, Director..." Ran Xiangsi pulled out a smile, not daring to openly oppose Xing Chen anymore.

But the hand she had under the table reached over without any hesitation and landed on Xing Chen's thigh, giving it a vicious twist!

She couldn't openly rebel, so... how about playing dirty?

At that moment, Xing Chen was introducing Ran Xiangsi to Li Guoliang.

"Director Li, this is my wife, Ran Xiangsi."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stabbing pain shot through his thigh unexpectedly!

This woman...

His face instantly darkened, and Xing Chen turned his head, his eyes cold and sharp like thousands of daggers shooting towards the woman beside him!

Ran Xiangsi turned her delicate face confidently, avoiding the anger in Xing Chen's eyes!

Wasn't he the one who wanted to play?

Fine, then she'll play with him! Who's afraid of whom?

Didn't they both grow up eating rice?!

But Ran Xiangsi didn't know, like all children from the south, she grew up eating rice, but Xing Chen did not...

Xing Chen had British Royal Family blood running through his veins and had been eating British food for many years.

In the first round, Ran Xiangsi had the upper hand.

Xing Chen withdrew his gaze, looking calmly and methodically at Li Guoliang, "I've heard Director Li likes to collect jewelry. Would you mind taking a look at the jewelry inside this manila envelope and telling me about its quality?"

Being addressed in his area of expertise, Li Guoliang immediately nodded cheerfully, "I'd be honored to help!"

With that, he reached out to take the manila envelope.

Seeing Li Guoliang's movement, Ran Xiangsi turned pale with fright and quickly rushed forward to grab the envelope, holding it protectively in her arms while laughing nervously, "Director Li, would you like something to drink?"

As she spoke, Ran Xiangsi glanced at Xing Chen, thinking, you're ruthless...

What jewelry? It was obviously her evidence of crime...

In the second round, Ran Xiangsi suffered a complete defeat.

Seeing Ran Xiangsi's actions, Li Guoliang's face turned slightly awkward. However, when she asked, he quickly shook his head and changed the topic, "No, thank you. I hadn't heard that Young Master Xing got married. Is it a secret marriage?"

Secret marriage?

Ran Xiangsi scoffed to herself. What secret marriage? It was all fabricated by that bastard Xing Chen...

Unexpectedly, Xing Chen quickly responded.

"The marriage within the Wilson family need not be known to irrelevant people." His voice, as gentle as jade, flowed from his exquisite lips.

As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair gracefully, exuding authority without anger.

Finally, he added, "If it weren't to clear my wife's name this time..."

Xing Chen paused for a moment here.

Li Guoliang understood immediately, nodding quickly in agreement, "Yes, yes, it was all a misunderstanding. How could Mrs. Xing be a suspect? It must have been a mistake by our staff, which caused Mrs. Xing to suffer..."

"I'm glad Director Li understands. My wife is still under protection, so..."

"Don't worry, Young Master Xing, I won't leak a word about what I've seen and heard today!" Li Guoliang was indeed good at reading people.

Xing Chen only said the first half of his sentence, and Li immediately understood the second half.

Ran Xiangsi couldn't help but sigh at the side, what a sycophant!

In the next second, Xing Chen's threatening gaze swept over again!

Her heart skipped a beat, and Ran Xiangsi clutched the manila envelope tightly, thinking, what are you looking at? This is mine now!
