Xue Sheng had been doing business for so many years and had sharp eyes. He could tell at a glance that Xiang Huai was not someone ordinary. His aura and elegance were definitely not something an everyday family could cultivate.

Moreover, he had a cold demeanor and did not seem like a kind person.

Xue Sheng thought about it and could not figure out what kind of person Xiang Huai was. Even if he had an even more formidable background than Lu Chao, hed still have to clarify what it was.

Even if he had to offend him, Xue Sheng could not let her daughter fall for his tricks.

Xiang Huai stood there steadily, his dark brown eyes staring at Xue Sheng. He could see the wariness in Xue Shengs eyes.

Father-in-law is not easy to fool.

At this thought, Xiang Huai lowered his head and dispelled the cold aura surrounding him. He respectfully said, Uncle, I am Xue Xis boyfriend, Xiang Huai.

Xue Sheng clearly did not ask him about that, so he could only continue asking, What is your relationship with Lu Chao or Qian Xin?

Xiang Huai did not want to lie. Pursing his lips, he paused for a moment before replying seriously, We once worked together.

Xue Sheng raised his brows in surprise. Collaborator?

Xiang Huai nodded. I guess so.

Lu Chaos lips twitched.

Yes, he and his boss were partners. His boss even called him Brother! Even Qian Xin, that God of Fortune, never received such an honor from his boss!

Xue Sheng was sensitive enough to catch a single word. Once?

Xiang Huai nodded again. He could not reveal his identity, so it would be less wrong to say less.

Xue Sheng asked further, What about now?

Xiang Huai: Now, Im not with Dingsheng Group anymore.

Dingsheng Group was Qian Xins, the God of Fortunes company, with businesses all over the country.

Xue Sheng subconsciously asked, Why did you leave?

Xiang Huais eyes darkened as though he had recalled what happened in the past. He said with some emotion, Dingsheng doesnt need me anymore.

And I dont need him anymore

Looking at his melancholic and reluctant look, Xue Sheng felt that he had judged him wrongly.

When he was young, it was tough for him to start a business. He had also established a company with his partners, but they had different management methods, and because he did not want to completely fall out with his friends, he could only take the initiative to be kicked out.

Knowing how it feels to be abandoned by his partner gave him a deep understanding of Xiang Huais current feelings. No wonder he answered Xue Shengs initial question that way. So he did not even want to bring up the past.

On the other hand, he exuded a dispirited aura. He opened a provision store and did not seem to have any ambition. Was he heartbroken and had not yet gotten over it?

This was the only reasonable explanation.

Having worked with Qian Xin, he should have accumulated a huge sum of money when he left, enough for him to buy such a huge provision store and this set of clothes.

Otherwise, he really could not imagine how a big shot like him would do nothing every day.

Moreover, when Lu Chao came to Bin City, he stayed with him. Did Lu Chao feel guilty?

Xue Sheng patted him on the shoulder and became less vigilant. He consoled him by saying, Everyone goes through a time when they are at a disadvantage. During such times, they should be more motivated and not dispirited. Young man, you can do it. I trust you.

Xiang Huai:

Uncle seems to have misunderstood something.

However, this misunderstanding clearly made Uncle have a better impression of him.

Xiang Huai moved his lips, and his earlier feelings turned into sadness. Really?

Xue Sheng nodded.

Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes, causing his expression to be filled with admiration. Then, when I feel confused, may I consult you, Uncle?

As an elder, Xue Sheng nodded. Anytime.

Xue Sheng then smiled and said, Then next time too, Ill get the HR Department to purchase office supplies. You cant reject them.

Xiang Huai was slightly taken aback and immediately realized. Was it Uncles company last time?

Xue Sheng nodded. Back then, for his sake, he had asked the HR Department to purchase items anonymously. He patted Xiang Huais shoulder. Running a provision store will only make you comfortable and lazy. If you quit, perhaps I can arrange a position for you in my company?

Xiang Huai nodded. Currently, I still want to take a break. Ill have to trouble Uncle when the time comes.

No trouble! It was thus that Xue Sheng ended up chatting happily with him.

Lu Chao, who was standing at the side, was dumbstruck once again. After creating Dingsheng Group, Xiang Huai had found it troublesome to manage it. But now, the same boss who gave all of his authority to Qian Xin so he could manage everything, the one who did not even want to be the chairman, actually wanted to work in a small company like Xue Shengs?

If word got out, Qian Xin would probably come crying!

Lu Chao instinctively wanted to follow behind Xiang Huai, but he was surrounded. Hello, Mr. Lu. Im

Although Lu Chao had said that Xiang Huai was his brother, Elder Gao had been accompanying Lu Chao and not Xiang Huai. This meant that Lu Chao was the one with status.

Since Li Xinyan got chased out, the rest had a chance.

After Xue Sheng chatted with Xiang Huai for a while and expressed his views on their future business, he became even more fond of him. In the end, he kept addressing him as Xiao Xiang.

However, he still had to socialize, so he stood up and left.

When he returned, he saw Xue Xi and Ye Li still sitting on the sofa, but Xiang Huai was missing. Xue Sheng could not help but ask, Wheres Xiao Xiang?

Xue Xi: Maybe the washroom?

After answering, she lowered her head to look at the Olympiad questions in her hands.

She had been doing it for several months and was almost done with the Olympiad questions. Now, she would occasionally feel bored.

After Xue Shengs socializing was over and the banquet was coming to an end, he decided not to leave yet. Instead, he sat beside Xue Xi and asked his daughter in a low voice, Xixi, I think Xiao Xiang is not bad. Why dont we let him enter our company?

Her daughter would definitely study hard, and from the looks of it, she did not seem to be interested in doing business. Since the company was going to be handed over to her sooner or later, she might as well hand it over to Xiang Huai.

Xue Xi: No need.

Xue Sheng was taken aback. Why?

Xue Xi replied slowly, Well break up sooner or later.

When the curse of dying if shes not in love disappears, their paths did not need to cross again right?

Xue Sheng was even more confused. Dont you like him? If so, why dont you just break up now?

Xue Xi knew that her answer would sound weird, but she had no other way to explain it. She slowly said, If I leave him now, my heart will ache to death.

Do young people nowadays love each other this much? Xue Sheng did not understand!

Upon thinking that they would break up in the future, Xue Xi felt a dull pain in her heart. She stood up and said, Ill go to Little Flames room upstairs to play with them.

She got up and headed upstairs, but just as she reached the second floor, a figure appeared.

She reacted quickly and was just about to dodge, but the other party reacted even faster than she did. He grabbed her hands and pulled her into the storeroom nearby.

In the cramped room, Xiang Huais tall figure restrained her.

The mans eyes were dark. He had not gone far when he clearly heard the words well break up sooner or later. Anger had surged in his heart.

This little kid is really heartless.

At this thought, he lowered his head and grabbed her cherry red lips
