Chapter 552: Chapter 550: This Really Isn’t the One I Raised
He Wanshan spoke, then turned to look at Xia Wenyan and said, "Young Master Xia, sorry, I didn’t figure out which male artist my daughter wanted. Please excuse me."
Xia Wenyan looked at He Wanshan with an indescribable expression, "Are you sure the man your daughter wants is him?"
As he spoke, his gaze slowly glanced over at Song Sinian standing beside him.
His expression remained unchanged, merely standing quietly beside Lu Zhaozhao, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.
Thinking how the He Family father and daughter had been so oblivious not only in investigating Lu Zhaozhao but failing to even check the people close to her, they really deserved this mess!
He Wanshan nodded seriously, "Yes, this is the man!"
When He Xintian saw He Wanshan backing her in front of so many people, she immediately perked up.
She stepped forward to grab Song Sinian but before she could even touch his clothes, Lu Zhaozhao slapped her across the face with a raised hand.
"Ah!" "Smack!"
He Xintian, caught off guard by Lu Zhaozhao’s slap, held her face and glared at her angrily, "Lu Zhaozhao, are you sick? What right do you have to hit me?"
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "You openly act like a mistress right in front of me, and I can’t hit you?"
"I... ah!"
"Smack!"
Before He Xintian could finish her sentence, another slap from Lu Zhaozhao was delivered right in front of her face.
Seeing this, He Wanshan immediately stepped in front of He Xintian, glaring at Lu Zhaozhao with almost gritted teeth, "Even if you are the CEO’s wife of Song Group, you can’t just do whatever you want!"
Lu Zhaozhao snorted softly, "Under those circumstances, even if I weren’t the CEO’s wife of Song Group, I wouldn’t have gone easy on her!"
Initially, He Wanshan didn’t intend to antagonize Lu Zhaozhao, but if this woman insisted on picking a quarrel here, he wouldn’t take the blame!
Although he didn’t want to upset the head of the Rimu Family over such a matter, it was different when it wasn’t his fault.
"Miss Lu! I was being polite because I thought you were the CEO’s wife of Song Group. If you keep making unreasonable trouble, don’t blame me for laying a hand on a woman!"
Just as He Wanshan’s words fell, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck.
He distinctly felt several sharp killing intents charging directly at him.
He Wanshan couldn’t help but shiver.
He frowned, and his gaze instinctively turned to the two men standing behind Lu Zhaozhao.
He saw both men staring at him with dark expressions, seemingly ready to finish him off if he dared to make a move.
Song Sinian stretched out his arm and pulled Lu Zhaozhao into his arms, looking down at He Wanshan from a height, and asked indifferently, "How do you plan to lay a hand on my wife?"
His voice wasn’t loud, but it struck He Wanshan’s ears like thunder.
His wife?
Isn’t Lu Zhaozhao the CEO’s wife of Song Group?
Then who is this man in front of him...?
Xia Wenyan watched He Wanshan’s rapidly changing expression with a mocking look and couldn’t help but sneer, "That’s right, he is the CEO of Song Group, Song Sinian. Your daughter really has an eye for men of high status to play with~"
He intentionally spoke in a mocking tone, causing He Wanshan’s entire face to darken like the bottom of a pot.
He had thought that it would be fine as long as he avoided Xia Wenyan, not realizing he had kicked an even more fearsome iron plate!
Meanwhile, He Xintian, still absorbed in her fury from being slapped, didn’t take Song Sinian’s words seriously at all.
She pointed her finger at Lu Zhaozhao and said angrily to He Wanshan, "Dad, do something! This wretched woman, she... ah!"
He Wanshan slapped her face without waiting for Lu Zhaozhao to make a move.
The reason why the CEO of Song Group was present at the Rimu Family’s commercial dinner was self-evident.
The Family Head of the Rimu Family surely wanted to cooperate with the Song Group.
In the Shangjing Circle, Song Group was a top-tier entity.
It didn’t matter if it was the CEO’s wife, but the CEO himself was a different story.
If he messed it up, the Family Head of the Rimu Family might have his head!
Compared to his business, his daughter naturally wasn’t that important.
He Xintian had never imagined that she would be hit by He Wanshan.
She covered her cheek in disbelief and stared at He Wanshan, "Daddy, why did you hit me? Shouldn’t you be hitting that shameless—ah!"
He Xintian didn’t even get to finish her unpleasant words before she was slapped again.
She was genuinely stunned.
Covering her face, she could only look at Lu Zhaozhao with deep resentment and bitterness.
If it weren’t for this woman, why would her father hit her?
It must be that this woman had bewitched her father, otherwise why would her father hit her?
Her father usually doted on her the most!
The base of He Wanshan’s palm was numb from hitting, but his gaze towards Lu Zhaozhao clearly carried a hint of displeasure.
It was merely a conflict among kids, yet it had to be connected to business.
His daughter hadn’t really done anything to this woman, and now, after getting slapped so much for nothing, he naturally found Lu Zhaozhao very distasteful.
Such a jealous woman, Song Sinian would probably discard her soon!
The flash of disgust in He Wanshan’s eyes didn’t escape Xia Wenyan and Song Sinian.
Song Sinian glanced at a figure slowly approaching from a distance, and his voice involuntarily rose several decibels, "If you don’t want to handle your dog, I don’t mind taking care of it for you."
As he finished speaking, the tall figure came over and stood next to Xia Wenyan.
Pei Huai helplessly curled his lips, "This really isn’t one whom I’ve raised."
He naturally recognized the house servants of the Rimu Family; this person wasn’t even an important minister, let alone a house servant.
He had already discussed this with Song Sinian last time.
But, this man was involved with the Rimu Family’s servants and often acted under the banner of the Rimu Family, so blaming him was not entirely unreasonable.
He Wanshan couldn’t understand the silent exchange between Song Sinian and Pei Huai, but considering the recent encounter and the identities of Xia Wenyan and Song Sinian, he was somewhat wary of this man.
Having been thwarted twice by Lu Zhaozhao, he felt somewhat intimidated.
He always thought this woman named Lu Zhaozhao was toxic.
He took a deep breath, and his gaze once again fell on He Xintian, whom he had slapped twice. He asked, "Tiantian, do you know this man?"
With tears rolling down her cheeks, He Xintian sniffled and yelled resentfully, "How could I not recognize him? He is this bitch’s lover! On the set, he—ah!"
Before He Wanshan could react, Xia Wenyan rushed forward and landed several consecutive slaps on He Xintian’s face.
Completely dazing He Xintian.
He Wanshan even thought that He Xintian’s words must have been accurate, hence Xia Wenyan’s intense reaction...
