Chapter 356

, he wouldn't apologize so quickly.Could something have happenedShen Yian thought for a moment, then found an unfamiliar account in his WeChat address book, Gu Cheng's colleague.Before, they had eaten..."I was just wondering where that little girl of yours went, so she's the queen of being late."

Old Zhou pointed at Luo Yingqiao and burst into laughter, "Where's your grandpa"

“My grandpa isn't feeling well lately, but he said that since it's our old friend's birthday, no matter what, he has to come. I'm here first thing in the afternoon, and he'll be here later tonight to join us for a good drink.”

Luo Yingqiao's smile was like a flower blooming, her words made Mr. Zhou's heart blossom with joy.

Xia Tao was watching this scene with great interest.

In comparison, Luo Yingqiao seems to be more favored than Zhou Xier, resembling the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.

Luo Yingqiao turned her face and winked at Xia Taozhi.

She immediately imitated the other person's actions and blinked twice.

After some pleasantries, Luo Yingqiao finally had time to sit beside Xia Tao: “Something happened with Kele”

Xia Tao paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Why didn't you tell me" Luo Yingqiao sounded a bit anxious. "I only found out on the way here from online posts. Who is Guo Qianan Why did he slander Coca-Cola like this"

She simply recounted what had happened to Cheng Kexue, her brows involuntarily furrowing: "Fortunately, Kexue is fine. She'll be able to go home after a few days of recuperation in the hospital."

"Hmph, it seems these old things exist everywhere. They flaunt their seniority and resources, bullying young girls just because they've been in the industry for a few years longer. What are you going to do about it"

Luo Yingqiao indignantly said, "Just tell me if you need my help!"

"Let's wait until the Coke cools down before we talk, no rush." Xia Taozhi had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Okay, I hear you.

Luo Yingqiao seductively sat beside Xia Tao.

Han Xiaoyu's eyes, like cold lightning, swept over her, and she stubbornly held her ground.

As long as I can chat with Xiaotao, a few glares from Han Xiao are nothing.

"I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you to the charity gala yesterday." She didn't notice the displeasure on the man beside her at all.

"It's fine, Coke is more important anyway. It's just... next time if something happens, you have to tell me first thing. I want to recruit all of you under my command, you know Such a good opportunity can't be missed."

Listening to Luo Ying Qiao's half-joking tease, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

As they were chatting, Zhou Xi'er, with her graceful and slender figure, moved through the crowd like the true mistress of the Zhou family.

Luo Ying Qiao, however, sneered and shook her head.

"How is it" Xia Taozhi saw her disdain and asked curiously.

"What do you think Zhou Xier is like now" Luo Yingqiao asked.

"Like a butler."

She blurted it out, and just as she finished speaking, the man beside her couldn't help but chuckle softly. This caused her to glare at him fiercely - what was there to laugh about

Han Xia's lips were still curved upwards, completely unfazed by the sight of someone baring their teeth and acting like a cute little kitten.

Luo Yingqiao nodded in appreciation and said, "That's well put. You hit the nail on the head."

She lowered her voice and whispered to Xia Taomei, "Actually, Zhou Xier is not a biological child of the Zhou family. She was adopted."

Then, she looked at Xia Tao's wide eyes with satisfaction and continued to gossip.

"Zhou Xier’s adoptive mother had been married for many years without being able to conceive. She brought a child with no parents back from the countryside, and this child was Zhou Xier. When she was three or four years old, her adoptive mother suddenly became pregnant again and gave birth to a younger son at the age of forty. This younger son is now the heir being vigorously cultivated by Mr. Zhou."

Luo Yingqiao said, her voice laced with a hint of pity, "Actually, the Zhou family is quite good to Zhou Xier. When she entered the industry, it was Old Master Zhou who spent money to pave the way for her, buying countless resources. It's just that, after all, she isn't Zhou family's biological child, so it's impossible to compare her to her brother."

Xia Tao lowered her eyelids: "She's very lucky." Lin's face was tight, those two words almost squeezed out from between his teeth.But Shen Yian was lost in thought and didn't notice the change in his expression. Instead, he gave a mysterious smile....
