Chapter 118 - 118 112 Party Turmoil Xie Shang Publicly Bends Over

Chapter 118: 112: Party Turmoil, Xie Shang Publicly Bends Over Backwards for Her (Second Update) Chapter 118: 112: Party Turmoil, Xie Shang Publicly Bends Over Backwards for Her (Second Update) The invited guests gradually trickled in, and the crowd on the square grew larger and larger.

Xie Yanli was among those invited.

In her youth, she had also been a lawyer. After marrying her second husband, she switched to investing. Because her business acumen was average, she had lost quite a bit of money over time. In the past two years, she had been involved with medical devices, becoming close to the Great Zheng Family.

She spotted Xie Shang and walked over to him.

“Xie Shang.”

When dealing with elders, Xie Shang was always polite and respectful, “Auntie.”

“Why are you here?”

Xie Shang didn’t like attending business events; Xie Yanli rarely encountered him on such occasions.

Without waiting for Xie Shang to reply, she said directly, “Yingying is here without a companion; you should join her, she’s inside.”

A friend of Xie Yanli’s at that moment came over, a rich lady dressed very meticulously.

“This is your family’s Xie Shang, right?”

Xie Yanli turned to introduce her to Xie Shang, “This lady is the wife of President Zhang from Hetong Logistics.”

Xie Shang gave a nod.

Lady Zhang, with a smiling look in her eyes, teased, “He and Yingying really seem like a match made in heaven.”

Lady Zhang was quite friendly with Xie Yanli too.

Xie Yanli had told Lady Zhang in the past that she didn’t want to let her stepdaughter, Fang Jiyin, marry far away; she wanted to keep her within the Xie Family. Besides the four-year-old Xie Ziyu, the only one of the same generation left in the Xie Family was Xie Shang. Xie Yanli had also mentioned that the two youngsters had been connected since their youth and owed each other a life-saving debt.

Naturally, Lady Zhang assumed Xie Shang and Fang Jiyin were a pair.

Just as Lady Zhang finished her words of praise, Xie Shang denied it, “She and I are not a couple.”

A red and black tie, if not for being striking enough, would be very hard to pull off. Yet, on Xie Shang, it didn’t overshadow him in the slightest; the contrast of the red added a hint of restrained, calm elegance to him, and there was an inviolable coolness of an intellectual in his demeanor.

He maintained his composure, without arrogance or haughtiness, “Auntie, you have been a lawyer too and are friendly with Lady Zhang. How could you not have told her that spreading rumors also bears legal responsibility?”

Faced with public disgrace, Xie Yanli’s face turned dark in an instant.

Lady Zhang’s expression wasn’t pleasant either.

The Xie Family were all lawyers, and Xie Shang had also passed the bar. She had heard that Xie Shang had opened a pawnshop, which involved many gray areas. Yet, after so many years without a single incident, it proved one thing: Xie Shang not only knew the law but could also move freely through its loopholes, which is not something an ordinary lawyer could do.

Lady Zhang smiled stiffly, “Perhaps, I misunderstood.” How could she say it was her own aunt who was spreading rumors?
