Chapter 315: Chapter 316 She’s back? !

Dong Xiaoye said vigilantly, “Who is this Third Lady?”

Zhang Lingfang looked at me, and then at Dong Xiaoye. After that, she smiled and said, “an extraordinary woman.” It didn’t seem like she was trying to keep us in suspense, but more like she was trying to brush the questions off.

Dong Xiaoye still waited to ask more, but Li Xinghui took a sip of the red wine and said with a solemn expression, “it doesn’t matter whether Mr. Chu knows the Third Lady or not. The important thing is that the Third Lady definitely knows about you. Mr. Chu, you are a smart man. Since this is the case, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. If I keep doing it, it would only make me look like a hypocrite. To be honest with you, apart from expressing my grat.i.tude, I would also like to ask a favor from you.”

I was taken aback. ‘So this is his real reason.’ I thought to myself.

It was expected that Chu Yuan and Dong Xiaoye would show surprised expressions. Li Xinghui wasn’t a n.o.body. But he actually wanted to ask a favor from me? This was really ridiculous…

“In fact, although this matter has not been made public, it is no longer a secret in Bei Tian City,” the pretentious expression in Li Xinghui’s eyes disappeared, and he said seriously, “The Third Lady has an extraordinary background and her family business spreads all over the world. Mr. Chu has also seen how magnificent the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort is, right? In name, it belongs to the Long Group. But in fact, the real investor behind the scenes is the overseas consortium behind the Third Lady. It is said that the Third Lady grew up in Bei Tian City. The development of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort is just a way that her family wants to repay the place that raised her on her behalf….”

“On her behalf?” I was curious, “Wasn’t the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort the project that the Third Lady wanted to invest in on a whim?”

“Huh?” Li Xinghui was dazed for a moment. Then he shook his head and laughed, “That’s not possible. The development plan for the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was signed five years ago. How old was the Third Lady at that time? Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was the biggest land development project in the real estate industry in Bei Tian City in the past ten years after all. Although the consortium behind the Third Lady is big, they would not throw away billions to please a little girl. It is just because the Third Lady likes to stay low-key, so some people exaggerated the mystery about her. Then the exaggeration leads to misrepresentation and rumors. It must have been within the last year or two, that The Third Lady’s family got the power within the mysterious consortium.”

Seeing that I was looking at him, Guo Xiang’s face flushed with shame, and Xingyu also looked away embarra.s.sedly. These two people were obviously the “some people” Li Xinghui was talking about…

Dong Xiaoye scooped a spoonful of caviar. Probably she didn’t like the taste, her brows frowned instantly. But when she heard this, she curiously asked, “You said that there is an overseas consortium behind her, and the reason why her family invested in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was to replay the land that raised her. So this Third Lady is a foreigner?”

“I don’t think so.” Xingyu interjected, “My father said that the Third Lady is a young and beautiful Chinese, and she is very traditional and very elegant…”

“I don’t know this very well. The mystery of the third lady is largely due to her mysterious background, but from the appearance and conversation, she is indeed a Chinese and a native Bei Tian people.” Li Xinghui paused to take a sip of the wine. “But there is also a rumor saying that the Third Lady is only half Chinese. Her mother is Chinese, but her father is not…” Li Xinghuis said casually. However, his words were like a big rock falling into a calm lake, causing many big ripples.

I suddenly felt that my cuff was tightened, and when I looked sideways, I discovered that the person who grabbed my cuff was actually Chu Yuan. Her face went a little pale suddenly. Noticing her strange reaction, Dong Xiaoye also asked concernedly, “What’s wrong, Yuan Yuan?”

Chu Yuan trembled all over, when she noticed that I was looking at her, she quickly looked away, “No… nothing.”

I knew that Chu Yuan was thinking about the same person as me…

‘There is no way that it is her.’ I comforted myself this way. She was the only child in the family, so it was not possible that she would be called the Third Lady… I clenched my hands tightly, and my palms were already filled with cold sweat.

Li Xinghui didn’t pay attention to Chu Yuan’s and Dong Xiaoye’s reactions. He simply continued, “At the beginning, many companies were competing for the project of Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. Our company is also one of those companies, but we all failed to get it. If my company was able to get this project, the Long Corporate group wouldn’t have been able to become the market leader today. So, I just couldn’t stop thinking about this project…”

Two of a trade never agree. From Li Xinghui’s att.i.tude, it could be seen that the relations.h.i.+p between him and the Long family was not very harmonious. It could even say that they were hostile. But then his mood suddenly changed and he said with excitement, “but now the opportunity is here again. As the sole heir, the third lady has gained power in her family and controlled the consortium. She will no longer only provide venture capital like the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort but will enter the domestic market by way of joint ventures and promote their high-tech brands. At present, she is still searching for partners of cooperation. So, Mr. Chu, I hope that you and Mr. Guo can work with me. With you two, we will definitely be able to seize this opportunity.”

These words sounded very familiar to me. I pretend to be calm, but I could no longer hide the tremor in my voice, “Mr. Li, you must be joking, right? I’m just a little office clerk who has just entered society not long ago. I don’t even have much experience. So I don’t even know how I could possibly provide any help…”

“Of course you can. No, it should be said that only you can do it.” Li Xinghui couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. His eyes emitted the greed gleam while staring at me as if staring at a cornucopia. “The third lady has recently listed out her conditions. Regardless of whether Fengchang Group can keep you or not, she will first consider whichever company you work for as their future cooperation partner. As long as the company you work for meets the requirements of cooperation, it will become their only domestic partner. Not only that, but they are also willing to give a twenty percent concession on their capital contribution,…”

“Pa!”

I was startled by a crispy gla.s.s-breaking sound. Chu Yuan, who was originally sipping orange juice, dropped her gla.s.s on the plate. The gla.s.s broke immediately and the plate also cracked. The orange juice spilled all over the table, but Chu Yuan didn’t seem to notice it. Her hand in the air was still maintaining the posture of holding a gla.s.s, but her hand was shaking constantly, and her eyes were full of fear…

“It’s her, she’s back!”

. . .

“Where is Yuan Yuan?”

Coming out of the bathroom, I didn’t see Chu Yuan in the living room. I was a little worried.

“Still in her room,” Dongfang Lianren said. She quickly moved closer to me and asked me, “Elder Brother Nan, what’s the matter with Yuan Yuan? Why didn’t she take a shower, and why is she locking herself in the room? Did you do something that makes her angry again?”

“You think I’m you?” I put the wet towel for drying my hair on Dongfang Lianren’s head, and said with a bad mood, “Go to sleep, I have something to say to your Elder Sister Xiaoye, it’s not suitable for children to listen.”

“Huh!” Dongfang Lianren pulled the towel down and snorted, “if you have the courage to do anything to Elder Sister Xiaoye that is not suitable for children to listen, you wouldn’t still be a virgin today.”

“Pfff…” Dong Xiaoye, who was sitting cross-legged in a chair watching TV, couldn’t help laughing.

This bratty girl seriously needed a spank. But before I could catch her, she also teased Dong Xiaoye, “Elder Sister Xiaoye is also the same, if she has the courage to let you do anything to her that is not suitable for children to hear, she also wouldn’t still be a woman without a boyfriend.”

“You little bratty girl. Do you want me to spank you?” Dong Xiaoye, like an agile snow leopard, jumped off the chair dexterously and swiftly and rushed towards Dongfang Lianren. However, Dongfang had already prepared. She suddenly pushed me hard before she turned around and ran away. It almost made me collide with Dong Xiaoye.

Dong Xiaoye safely avoided me. Dongfang little brat stuck out her little tongue, and made a funny face at us, and closed the door triumphantly.

“This bratty girl, how does she look like a girl running away from her home? She clearly treats my flat as her home…” I turned around and sat at the chair Dong Xiaoye had been sitting on. “Alright then, since the kids are not around anymore, if you want to ask me any questions, you can ask.” I stopped joking and said.

Yes. It was not that I had something to say to Dong Xiaoye. On the contrary, it was Dong Xiaoye who wanted to ask me something. This was not surprising to me. The words Li Xinghui and Zhang Lingfang said tonight had enough reasons to arouse her curiosity. The sense of danger couldn’t escape from her keen sense at all, not to mention Chu Yuan’s weird reaction…

As expected, Dong Xiaoye leaned against the table, folded her arms before her chest, staring at me, and said, “Who is the Third Lady that you talked about during the dinner?”

“I don’t know.”

“Seriously?” Dong Xiaoye frowned and said, “Li Xinghui said that not only you have met her, but your two’s relations.h.i.+p is very deep. Also, Yuan Yuan must know her, right? Did something happen between them, that’s why Yuan Yuan’s reaction was so weird?”

Weird? I couldn’t help smiling. If Chu Yuan really thought that ‘Third Lady’ was that person, her reaction would not be weird. It was just her guilty reaction…
