Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Should We Give It a Try?
Rong Jing completely ignored Yin Shixiu’s sharp gaze and continued asking, his words full of interest in Su Xiaomeng.
"You don’t need to know, Young Master Rong."
Yin Shixiu stood up and opened the door for Rong Jing.
Rong Jing chuckled softly, with a meaningful tone, "It’s the first time I’ve seen Fourth Young Master Yin show such an expression for a woman. It seems... I must get to know this girl."
After speaking, Rong Jing walked out.
Yin Shixiu closed the door and began tidying up the dishes.
Rong Jing, the youngest and only son of Rong Si, the head of the Rong Family, had already grasped control over tens of thousands of employees within the Rong Group at a young age.
He was a man as insidious and cunning as a snake, ruthless, with an ambitious heart.
Yin Shixiu didn’t mind his greedy gaze fixed on the Yin Family. The business world is like a battlefield, a world where the weak are prey to the strong. If you are weak, you’ll be eaten; if you’re strong, even if a thousand gazes are on you, they can only watch.
But if he wanted to stare at his people...
Then he wouldn’t mind poking Rong Jing’s eyes blind.
Su Xiaomeng pressed her ear tightly against the door, fully focused on the situation outside. Her ear hurt from the pressure, yet she couldn’t hear what the two outside were talking about...
Why bother making the soundproofing so good?
"Click"...
The doorknob suddenly turned, and the door was pushed open. Su Xiaomeng’s eyes widened as she faced Yin Shixiu... and in less than a second, she jumped away from the door!
"Uncle, why didn’t you knock?"
"What are you doing?"
Su Xiaomeng swallowed, she couldn’t possibly admit she was eavesdropping out of curiosity, right?
But...
She suddenly thought of something and hastily pointed at the door, "Didn’t you say this lock was broken? I was examining it!"
"Truly!"
Su Xiaomeng, fearing he wouldn’t believe her, earnestly repeated herself.
"Really? I thought you were curious about Rong Jing setting up for his sister..."
Yin Shixiu looked at her and spoke calmly.
"Haha, why would I be curious about that?" Su Xiaomeng chuckled, "By the way, Uncle, did you have something to do when you came in?"
"Su Xiaomeng."
"Hmm?"
Yin Shixiu just gazed at her, watching for a long time, making Su Xiaomeng’s heart race...
"Uncle, you—"
"Shall we... give it a try?"
"Try? Try what?"
Su Xiaomeng blinked, looking at him with confusion.
"Be my girlfriend."
With a buzzing sound, Su Xiaomeng’s head seemed to explode, "You, what did you say?"
"I said—"
"Uncle, you’re thirteen years older than me!" Su Xiaomeng looked at him, stunned, focusing on the age gap!
"But didn’t you just say our relationship is good, with no generation gap?"
"That was because that pink guy was mocking you, I..."
"You what? How does his mocking relate to you?"
Seeing her averting her gaze, Yin Shixiu pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. Su Xiaomeng then truly realized the man in front of her had penetrating eyes, his demeanor no longer gentle but sharp and determined.
How does it relate to her...
Su Xiaomeng unconsciously bit her lip, finally turning her face to meet Yin Shixiu’s eyes, saying, "Meng Meng calls you Little Uncle, so I didn’t expect her grandfather to be your dad... I didn’t expect that day was actually your dad’s birthday..."
"So?"
"What happened that night was an accident, later when I thought it over, it was actually my fault. I can’t hold my liquor but insisted on drinking, staying in your house, and even slept in your bed. I never thought we’d cross paths again, so when I saw you I just wanted to keep my distance, but you always seem to be everywhere..."
