Forced to Date a Big Shot

Ch116: Kissed! Kissed!

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, he’d 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 Sheng’s 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 Xi’s 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 Chao’s 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, I’m not with Dingsheng Group anymore.”

Dingsheng Group was Qian Xin’s, the God of Fortune’s company, with businesses all over the country.

Xue Sheng subconsciously asked, “Why did you leave?”

Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened as though he had recalled what happened in the past. He said with some emotion, “Dingsheng doesn’t need me anymore.”

And I don’t 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 Huai’s current feelings. No wonder he answered Xue Sheng’s 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.
