Hello, Heir - Chapter 920

Upstairs in the private room…

Si Zhengting had left the room only to return, causing the other young people in the room to become baffled.

Cheng Sizhe was more shocked than anything. After entering the room, Si Zhengting had sat down for a short while before leaving the room without even so much as a hello or a goodbye.

True, he had always been a haughty person, so no one had anything much to say. But hadn’t he left the room? Why was he now back?

Just as Cheng Sizhe was thinking this, Si Zhengting returned to his original seat in the room.

Cheng Sizhe was now right beside him. They were similar in social status, and seeing that the people around them were fearful of Si Zhengting’s frosty demeanor, Cheng Sizhe decided to approach him and make an attempt to liven up the atmosphere. “Hey, Mr. Si, have you been very busy? I’ve been in Beijing for quite a while now, but this is only the second time I’ve seen you.”

The moment Cheng Sizhe said this, Si Zhengting looked at him coldly and said, “Well, I’m not as free as you are.”

Cheng Sizhe was flabbergasted.

Why did he feel as if Mr. Si didn’t like him, and that Mr. Si was being sarcastic in insinuating that he had no business to do as he was in the early stages of his entrepreneurship?

Had he unknowingly offended Mr. Si?

Cheng Sizhe was baffled. Shaking his head, he decided to stop talking. After all, he wasn’t stupid, and he could tell that Mr. Si disliked him.

A few moments later, the door opened, and Liu Xinshui strutted in.

A few of the people in the room looked over when she made her entrance, but after they caught a glimpse of the way she looked, all of them widened their eyes in surprise and began sniggering.

She was in a deep green gown that made her look like a vegetable worm!

Green clothes didn’t suit anyone and everyone, and Liu Xinshui was now a clown.

But everyone knew they had to give the Liu family some face, so they all held back. Meanwhile, Liu Xinshui walked toward Si Zhengting with a plate of desserts in hand. “Mr. Si, try this dessert. Is it yummy?”

Si Zhengting raised his brows upon hearing this. A single glance at the dessert was all he needed to imagine how sweet the dessert was!

He furrowed his brows and stared straight at Liu Xinshui. His deep gaze betrayed emotions that nobody could make sense of.

Liu Xinshui, unable to deal with the stare, panicked. Then, she watched as his gaze swept over her whole body.

Liu Xinshui instantly became even more nervous, but a sense of satisfaction began to grow in her heart.

What Zhuang Nainai had said was right.

Mr. Si’s gaze was fixed firmly on her now that she was decked out in a green gown.

Liu Xinshui beamed. Seeing that Mr. Si was no longer so averse, she sheepishly fidgeted before returning his stare with her large, innocent eyes. “Mr. Si, do I look good?”

She had studied Zhuang Nainai previously and had come to the conclusion that innocence was the thing that Mr. Si liked about Zhuang Nainai. And so, as an innocent person, asking a question like this was perfectly normal.

She waited expectantly for Si Zhengting to reply.

Everyone in the room turned to look at Si Zhengting.

Every single one in the room was the top CEO in their respective fields, but all of them still looked up to the Imperial Group.

Si Zhengting looked at her coldly. A few moments later, he grudgingly said, “The clothes aren’t too bad.”

Liu Xinshui’s eyes brightened.

Then she heard Si Zhengting continue, “But the person, so-so.”

Her smile froze on her face.
