C185 Chapter 185

But now, all this shows that man is a pervert! A black bear that was wearing the skin of a bunny!

"Zhang Chen! Don't forget, no matter how you protect Pei Luoluo now, you are still the one who knows the whole thing. Do you think that one day when she knows the truth, she will be more tolerant of you?"

"I will take responsibility!" Zhang Chen did not hesitate to hang up the phone.

The two of them had almost fallen out with each other in this conversation. After so many years of brotherly love, when had it become a chess piece that the other party could use? A tool?

The sky gradually darkened, and it looked like it was going to rain. Zhang Chen looked out the window as if he was in an indescribable state of mind.

"Luo Luo, if I say that I never wanted to harm you and that I was more protecting you, even if I didn't tell you anything, would you believe me?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself as he heard the wind coming in from outside the window.

However, the answer was still the sound of the wind.

It was already early in the morning in New York at night. Xiao Yichen arrived in New York and flew straight to Chicago without stopping for a moment. As expected, Ai Lun's warning only sounded like a loud fart. No matter how loud the warning was, it would still become as insignificant as air in his eyes.

"Director Xiao, Miss Qiao Anna has arrived first. In a while, you will be in the middle. Next to her will be the board of directors in Chicago, as well as Miss Qiao Anna and the Lord Consultant." Lee Xue flipped through the documents, then pushed the frame of her glasses and said seriously.

After that incident, Lee Xue had never seen Xiao Yichen smile again, especially after bringing Pei Luoluo home. Even if it was a sneer, it was almost gone.

"I know. After the ribbon cutting, we will fly back to New York. I still have to deal with the project in Washington." Xiao Yichen's face was cold, and his eyes were filled with coldness. It was a cold distance that no one could get close to.

"But, Director Xiao, Qiao Anna arranged a welcoming banquet for you. You..." Lee Xue hesitated, but still gritted her teeth and opened her mouth.

"Reject!" Xiao Yichen answered without any hesitation.

Although Lee Xue had an answer in her heart, she did not have the right to interrupt. However, today's ribbon cutting ceremony had been reported to the public that they would have a celebration banquet to celebrate their successful cooperation. Not only the industry's celebrities, but many of the higher ups who wanted to build relationships had also arrived. This was also the opportunity for Xiao Yichen to open up a bigger market.

Resources were just like real estate. They would never be able to expand, and they would always want to eat the best meat.

"Director Xiao, tonight's celebration banquet will not only be held by a few senior executives from the royal family. The governors of several states and directors of large enterprises will also be attending. You have just taken over the Xiao's, and your foundation is not stable enough. As your administrative secretary, I have the right to remind you not to act on impulse." Lee Xue was going all out this time. She might as well use this move. Xiao Yichen would not give her any face.

Seeing that Xiao Yichen's handsome brow had condensed into a deep hole, she pondered for a while and nodded.

There was no end to socializing. Noble and famous people all had their own targets to climb up the ladder. Smart people knew how to use clever tricks to deal with other people who didn't get a single piece of the pie. It was also very likely that they would run into a big deal and cooperate in other industries.

This was the circle of upper-class society. This was the world Xiao Yichen hated the most. That kind of focus was everywhere, but the reason was not entirely because of himself, but because of the Xiao's halo that he would never be able to remove from his body.

"Lee Xue, is the craftsman who made the jewelry in Swedish still in Chicago?" Xiao Yichen spat out a cigarette and said slowly.

Lee Xue frowned and tilted her head to think for a while. She was not sure, but said, "Mr. An De Sen likes to travel around the country to collect gemstones. There is no fixed destination. Last week, he said it was Chicago, but now he was not sure. Director Xiao, why don't I contact him?"

" Okay. " Xiao Yichen answered tiredly, then leaned against the sofa and took a nap.

Lee Xue could not bear to disturb Xiao Yichen when she saw him so tired. Actually, she still had some things that she did not tell him.

One of them was a call from the Chicago Consulate Secretary personally, asking Xiao Yichen to play Anna's male companion after the ribbon cutting. If he accepted the matter that made Qiao Anna cry that time, he could let bygones be bygones and continue to support him.

One was the heir of the royal family, Ai Lun, who was also Catherine's elder brother. He said that Catherine had temporarily regained consciousness, but it was still unstable. He hoped that Xiao Yichen could accompany her more and quickly arrange the engagement after she woke up.

The two families were both major powers, and they had been cooperating with Xiao Yichen all year round. He didn't know why, but they had threatened him with love. Was it true that the world of the rich lacked love?

However, would Xiao Yichen, who was trapped in the most critical moment, really compromise? If it was according to his temperament, he definitely wouldn't, but it would also jeopardize his position as the director of the prison. Xiao Yimo was also eyeing him covetously, waiting for him to lose his footing and fall down. He would not be able to recover, so Lee Xue did not know what Xiao Yichen would do.

But now, let him have a good sleep.

Taking a deep breath, Lee Xue walked out of the room and made a phone call to check An De Sen's craftsman's whereabouts. While waiting for the phone call, she sent a few messages to Zhang Chen.

Are you better? '

Much better! Don't worry, thank you.

Lee Xue looked at Zhang Chen's reply ten minutes later. Her fingertips touched the button, but she could not press it no matter how hard she tried. She looked so weak.

"Zhang Chen, we have known each other for so many years, but we still need to communicate in such a strange way. You are really ruthless." Lee Xue smiled bitterly and raised the corner of her mouth. She closed the message interface.

"Mrs Zhang, Mrs Zhang, Xiao Yichen's ribbon cutting is a global live broadcast!"

Pei Luoluo was playing with the plum blossom in her mouth and pointed at the news that was reporting Xiao Yichen's ribbon cutting ceremony at the Willis Building in Chicago. It was also the tallest building in the world. It could overlook the city view of Chicago and the antenna on the other side of the lake.

But the scenery was beautiful. In Pei Luoluo's eyes, there was only the silver-white suit that stood on the cutting counter. The cold and aloof handsome face's eyes were indifferent, as if his focus was not on one person. His entire body exuded a cold aura. The smile on his face was very shallow, but it was enough to make people fall into an abyss with just a glance.

However, it was very eye-catching to see Qiao Anna, who was wearing a champagne fishtail evening gown beside him. She was dressed like a dazzling star today. She stood beside Xiao Yichen, highlighting the beauty and sexiness of European and American women. She was very eye-catching.

Pei Luoluo's heart did not beat, and the light between her eyebrows finally calmed down.

"Where? Where?" Mrs Zhang also ran out of the kitchen in a panic. When she saw the scene on the TV screen, she was also stunned and then turned off the TV.
