BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57 - 57 Where Is She?
The corners of Xiao Zhuo’s mouth curled up. He did not expect Xing Shu to know this. “It’s not as complicated as you think. I just think it’s very interesting to have sex on the piano. Different bodies, different forces can create different melodies. Coupled with a glass of red wine… watching the white keys gradually turn red. Don’t you think it’s beautiful?”
Xing Shu: “???” She had never been so speechless in her life! She almost could not hide the expression on her face! How typical of the wildest scion in the North American upper-class social circle!
Xing Shu took a deep breath. “Mr. Xiao is really forthright.”
!!
Xiao Zhuo laughed. He had never been in such a good mood. He found it interesting that Xing Shu was so rattled by his words. Xing Shu did not attempt any more talk, afraid that Xiao Zhuo would give another lurid answer.
The styling team moved very quickly. Xing Shu’s makeup was done in no time. Xing Shu looked at the aqua blue dress—Xiao Zhuo had exquisite taste.
Xing Shu said, “Mr. Xiao, the price of this dress…”
“Why? Do you think I would make you pay for it?” Xiao Zhuo’s cell phone rang. When he saw the name displayed on the screen, he sneered. “Didn’t I ask them to tell you that I’m not interested in you? I’m not interested in Scott’s novels and Schubert’s songs. I’m also not interested in the rise and fall of various countries. Don’t call me again. In addition, I’ve already got a plus one for tonight. Darling, we’re not on the same path. Let’s part on good terms.”
Xing Shu quietly followed behind Xiao Zhuo. She felt like she was walking a tightrope. The auction was starting in two hours; Cheng Lang would be back for her.
“Mr. Xiao, I came with my colleague. I should go back and look for him first. If you lack a plus one, I’ll meet you at the entrance of the auction?” Xing Shu suggested. After all, Cheng Lang probably would not use her as his plus one.
Xiao Zhuo had been frowning ever since he ended the call. “Call your colleague. You’ll be with me tonight.”
Xing Shu was speechless. She gulped; she did not have Cheng Lang’s number.
Xiao Zhuo suddenly lowered his head and looked at Xing Shu with raised eyebrows. “Colleague? Are you sure you’re an employee of Cheng Corporation Group?”
Xing Shu replied, “Yes.”
Xiao Zhuo nodded. “Alright!” In the next second, he whipped out his cell phone and called Nie Heng. “Tell President Cheng that I’m borrowing his employee.” He looked at Xing Shu and asked, “What’s your name?”
Xing Shu was speechless, thoroughly shocked by Xiao Zhuo. She could only bite the bullet and say, “Hu Jie.”
Xiao Zhuo did not suspect anything. He said to Nie Heng, “Her name is Hu Jie. She’s my plus one for tonight. Tell President Cheng that I’ll treat him to a meal the next time I go to Beijing.”
Nie Heng stared at his cell phone and tried to recall the name ‘Hu Jie’. Unfortunately, he had no impression of her. A woman who could catch Xiao Zhuo’s eye must be gorgeous. But did Cheng Corporation Group have such a woman?
Nie Heng frowned and looked at Cheng Lang, who was resting with his eyes closed. “Xiao Zhuo called and said that he wants to borrow one of your employees as a plus one. He said that her name is Hu Jie.”
Cheng Lang’s eyelashes fluttered twice and he slowly opened his eyes. “Who?”
“Hu Jie,” Nie Heng repeated. He asked coldly, “When did Cheng Corporation Group hire such a vixen? How did she manage to make Xiao Zhuo call personally to ask for a favor?”
Cheng Lang lowered his eyelashes and tightened his jawline. Black fog seemed to gather in his eyes, but it seemed to dissipate in an instant. He said with a faint smile, “Hu Jie…” He chuckled and instructed Jian Yaochuan, who was driving, “No need to go back to the manor.”
Jian Yaochuan was a little surprised. They were supposed to go back to the manor to pick up Ms. Xing Shu, but they weren’t going back now? However, he did not probe further and silently turned the steering wheel.
It was silent in the car. Nie Heng acutely sensed that Cheng Lang’s aura had changed after the conversation just now. It seemed to have become more aloof, and his eyes were glacial.
Nie Heng asked, “Didn’t you bring Xing Shu along this time? Where is she?”
Cheng Lang sniggered and tapped his fingertips on his knees casually, revealing his fair and sharp wrist bones. “Already there.”
