708 What Are You Doing Here?
Shen Hanxing should have led a luxurious life and enjoyed it, but her eyes were still determined, and was determined to move forward. She knew what she wanted and worked hard for it. Lu Jin could not help but say, “I believe that Madam Shen will bring me more surprises.”
Lu Jin did not stay for long. After introducing Shen Hanxing to everyone, he turned around and left. Although Shen Hanxing had attended many banquets with Ji Yan, it was her first time attending such a grand event. However, she was not afraid and quickly blended in with the crowd. She even received many business cards.
After three rounds of drinks, Shen Hanxing changed her drink and went up to the balcony alone. The balcony was a special resting area, and large patches of green vines were designed like bird cages, forming a small private space that was not exactly enclosed. The summer night breeze blew away the tipsy feeling on her body, giving her a different kind of comfort.
Shen Hanxing’s body relaxed, and the alcohol started to build up in her. Her cheeks flushed red, and she closed her eyes and leaned back on the wicker chair to rest. Just then, a mocking female voice was heard. “What a coincidence, to be able to see sister here.”
Shen Hanxing’s eyes snapped open, and they glowed with a cold light. It was Shen Sisi. She was wearing an apricot-colored dress that revealed her fair collarbones. Her black hair fell behind her head, revealing her full forehead. She looked fresh and refined. Standing among the vines, she looked like a little fairy who had fallen into the forest by mistake. Unfortunately, the viciousness and smugness in her eyes destroyed this beautiful moment.
“What are you doing here?” Shen Hanxing furrowed her brows in disgust. The party this time was different from the ones she had attended in the past. She could tell from the way she had checked the invitation card when she entered that not just anyone could come. Without a connection with the higher-ups, no one would usually dare to bring a female companion to such an event. With Shen Sisi’s status, she did not have the right to receive an invitation no matter what.
“You didn’t expect to see me here, did you?” Shen Sisi’s lips curved up proudly. “You think you’re the only one who can participate? Sister, you’re not the only one with good luck in this world.” She felt a little proud and elated. It had been a long time since things had gone so smoothly for her ever since Shen Hanxing’s appearance. This banquet might not be able to be publicized, but its importance of it was self-evident. Her appearance here would greatly increase her social status and expand her network. Most importantly, if Shen Hanxing could come, so could she. It would be impossible for Shen Hanxing to step over her head!
“I don’t own this place, so you can come if you want.” Shen Hanxing shook her head in amusement when she saw the pride on Shen Sisi’s face. She nonchalantly took a sip of her fruit juice and said, “Did you come to me to show me that you’re also here to attend this banquet?” Her tone was too calm as if she did not care why Shen Sisi appeared at all. She also did not think that it was a big deal for Shen Sisi to be able to attend this banquet.
Shen Hanxing’s nonchalant attitude made Shen Sisi angry. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and unwillingness. Why? When she learned that she could attend this banquet, she dressed up for a long time, afraid that she would be inappropriate! However, Shen Hanxing was dressed in a smart lady’s suit. She appeared there calmly as if she was at home.
Shen Hanxing’s attitude made it seem as if they were no longer on the same level. Events that felt important to Shen Sisi were nothing to Shen Hanxing. How could Shen Sisi, who had always been proud and compared herself to Shen Hanxing as an enemy, accept this? Shen Hanxing was a woman who had come from the slums. How could she have a better life than her?
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I just wanted to come over and talk to you.” The jealousy in Shen Sisi’s heart was about to burn away her rationality. She clenched her fists so tightly that her delicate and beautiful nails almost dug into her palms. However, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she affectionately sat down opposite her and said with a smile, “I’ve had a lot of things happen during this period of time, and I want to tell you about them.”
“Haven’t seen me in a long time? Didn’t we just meet at Lu Shaoyang’s wedding a few days ago?” Shen Hanxing raised an eyebrow and said, “I thought you were just stupid, but it seems like your brain isn’t that good. I suggest you go to the hospital to have a look, in case the treatment gets more difficult if you drag it out too long.”
