The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 160: Robbery?

three days later.

The Sheng family held a belated engagement banquet in Hong Kong, specifically to entertain guests from Hong Kong.

As the richest family in Hong Kong, the Lin family naturally treated their heir, Lin Chen, as an honored guest.

Lin Chen has been living abroad for many years and rarely returns to Hong Kong. As soon as he appeared at this engagement banquet, the media immediately turned their cameras on him.

This action left the Sheng family feeling quite embarrassed.

Lin Chen was dressed in a black suit without a tie, his collar slightly open. Coupled with his glasses, he exuded a refined and lazy air, attracting the attention of the guests.

The doctor, Zhou Xiangnan, couldn't stand the "attention" he received and kept tugging at his clothes, reminding him to quickly go and take a seat.

Lin Chen asked him in a low voice, "Didn't you want to know who that girl is?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiangnan wondered if this girl was from Hong Kong.
"I'll take you to see her." After saying that, Lin Chen walked directly towards Sheng Huai'an and Lu Siqi, who were receiving blessings from the guests.

Zhou Xiangnan quickly followed behind him, afraid that he would take the opportunity to slip away.

Lu Siqi had already spotted Lin Chen out of the corner of her eye, but she tried her best to pretend she hadn't seen him, maintaining a smile on her lips as she stood with Sheng Huai'an to thank the guests.

Lin Chen had already walked up to them, and the other guests immediately and tactfully made way for him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Sheng and Ms. Lu." Lin Chen naturally extended his hand to Lu Siqi. "I heard that Ms. Lu was one of the few top-level pilots in the Beicheng Special Zone. I had seen her in the news before, but seeing her today, I realized that the photos and videos released by the media did not even capture a third of her beauty."

"Young Master Xie Lin is too kind." Lu Siqi tried her best to remain calm, and only shook hands with him about a third of the way.

Even so, Zhou Xiangnan still sensed something was amiss. "Miss Lu knows our Lin Chen?"

Sheng Huai'an immediately came to Lu Siqi's rescue, saying, "I met Siqi through Lin Chen."

"So you two knew each other all along." Zhou Xiangnan was completely clueless about social situations outside of the medical field, especially in crowded places where he couldn't react at all. He glanced at Lin Chen, "Then why were you spouting such obvious truths earlier! You've already met Miss Lu, and you kept praising her for being even more beautiful than in the photos!"

"Ahem." Lin Chen coughed lightly twice, reminding him that he had better shut up quickly.

Zhou Xiangnan, however, was completely oblivious and kept telling Sheng Huai'an his "heartfelt words," "Let me tell you, Huai'an, Lin Chen has always favored you since you were little, and you don't believe me? Look, I've known him for so many years, and he's never introduced me to a single woman! But with you, he introduced you to Miss Lu! I'm truly envious and jealous!"

Sheng Huai'an maintained a smile on the surface, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

After hearing Zhou Xiangnan's words, Lin Chen wished he could find something to gag him!
……

As guests took their seats, Lin Chen and Zhou Xiangnan were seated at the head table.

After Zhou Xiangnan sat down, he saw Lin Chen get up and leave his seat, so he quickly stood up and followed him. "Let me tell you, Lin Chen, if you don't see the girl who bit you today, don't even think about getting rid of me."

As the center of attention among the guests, Zhou Xiangnan kept his voice very low, so that only Lin Chen, who was closest to him, could hear him. Lin Chen knew that Zhou Xiangnan was stubborn and that if he didn't tell him soon, he would definitely stick to him like glue all day.

After leaving the banquet hall and arriving at the smoking area, Lin Chen lit a cigarette and glanced at Lu Siqi, who was still standing not far away greeting guests with Sheng Huai'an. He noticed that she was wearing such high heels today, and thinking about how she had been standing there since morning, a surge of jealousy and tenderness welled up in his heart.

"Why are you staring at Sheng Huai'an's fiancée all day?" Zhou Xiangnan was a little unhappy and blocked his view with his body. "I'm not trying to be mean, but it's really not good of you to do this. Luckily I know you have a girl you like. If people didn't know, they would think you like Miss Lu."

Lin Chen exhaled a smoke ring and raised the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating smile: "Is it that obvious?"

"It's more than just obvious." Zhou Xiangnan glanced at him irritably. "It's practically like he went over and snatched it from Sheng Huai'an."

"If I were to compete with Sheng Huai'an, who would have the best chance of winning?"

"This..." After considering it in his mind, Zhou Xiangnan was really conflicted. "It's really hard to say. The Sheng family has considerable influence in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Sheng Huai'an took over the family company at a young age, and his fiancée is from the Lu family in Beicheng. The two are extremely well-matched in terms of status and appearance. You, Lin Chen, are not bad-looking either. Your Lin family is not only the richest in Hong Kong, but also the richest in Asia. In terms of money and connections, the Sheng family is definitely not as good as you. However, the Lu family is not focused on money. So in terms of status, the Sheng family definitely has an advantage over your Lin family."

After finishing his analysis, Zhou Xiangnan muttered to himself, "Why did you ask me this question?"

Belatedly, he realized that Sheng Huai'an's gaze towards Lin Chen seemed somewhat wary, and that Lu Siqi had deliberately distanced herself from Lin Chen...

Considering Lin Chen's words over the past few days, and his various reactions after arriving at the banquet hall...

Zhou Xiangnan slapped his forehead in frustration: "No way? Could it be that the girl Lin Chen was talking about is...?"

"You only just realized?" Lin Chen stopped hiding things from him and bluntly scolded him: "If I had tape in my hand just now, I would have sealed your mouth shut!"

"It's not my fault! Today is Sheng Huai'an's engagement banquet! How could I possibly think of his fiancée?" Zhou Xiangnan's mind was a bit of a mess at the moment. "What's wrong with you, kid? Those teeth marks on your face are clearly from a recent bite. Could it be that you got engaged to Sheng Huai'an right after Miss Lu bit you? Are you still hung up on Miss Lu? Did you really come here today to steal her away?"

Lin Chen sneered, "It's not a wedding today, why would I steal the bride?"

Seeing that Lu Siqi had left the reception desk, leaving only Sheng Huai'an standing there, Lin Chen threw his cigarette into the ashtray, immediately left the smoking area, and strode towards the elevator.

Zhou Xiangnan was still sorting out his relationship with Sheng Huai'an and Lu Siqi when he realized that Sheng Huai'an was no longer in front of him.

After searching both the front and back, and still not finding Lin Chen, Zhou Xiangnan went back to the banquet hall to look for him. Only then did he notice that Sheng Huai'an was the only one left at the reception desk.

Could Lin Chen be...?

Considering Lin Chen's bold nature and his experience of working undercover for the Lin family for over a decade, Zhou Xiangnan had a rough idea of ​​where he had gone.

Alright, no need to look for him anymore. If he's a good brother, just keep an eye on Sheng Huai'an for him.

……

Lin Chen took the elevator to the floor where Lu Siqi was staying.

He had just stepped out of the elevator when the elevator doors opened a dozen meters away, and Lu Siqi walked out barefoot, carrying a pair of high heels.
