Chapter 135 - Fanxing Drank Too Much (Part 1)
Shen Fanxing couldn't suppress her anger and desolation right now.
She wasn't a fool. If she couldn't see through Jiang Rongrong's blatant motive tonight, she would have lived in vain all these years!
It turned out that she was just a shield to protect Su Heng and Shen Qianrou, in order for them to deal with the reporters. Her presence was just a matter of convenience.
She had never thought of attending any events on behalf of her family. So this was the reason why she was invited this time.
"I asked you to attend an event, do you expect me to kneel and beg?!"
Jiang Rongrong's words from that day flashed across her mind again.
Now that she pondered about it, there was indeed a reason for her to kneel.
"Shen Fanxing, I have to say that your family member is indeed more unbelievable than the other. I really wonder if you're of the Shen family's bloodline."
Shen Fanxing smiled bitterly in response. She picked up another glass of champagne before she sat down.
"Yes, I do have my suspicions sometimes. But I really am…"
"Then you're considered a weirdo in the eyes of your family," concluded Xu Qingzhi resignedly, her heart aching for her.
Why was she born amongst wolves?
Shen Fanxing didn't say anything as she sat quietly. Looking out of the large glass windows, she saw rows of tall buildings shining brightly in the dark night. The vibrant world seemed to turn blurry in her vision.
She radiated a sense of despair and bleakness.
She drank gloomily, glass after glass.
Xu Qingzhi felt sorry for her and accompanied her by drinking in silence.
They were good friends, so Xu Qingzhi and Shen Fanxing had a mutual understanding.
Consolation at this juncture was no different from rubbing salt on her wounds.
Receiving comforting words at a person's most vulnerable moment, could lead to a complete defeat.
They were all too prideful…
Who would want to make one wallow in sadness?
Applause sounded in the event hall.
Shen Fanxing massaged her swollen temples with her hand as she looked towards a bright spot.
The person speaking on stage was a middle-aged man with an impressive appearance. He didn't have a huge belly like his peers, neither was his face greasy. He was tall and lean, and good-looking with a calm and restrained temperament. It was evident that he was definitely a man that women would flock to when he was younger, and probably even now.
Yet, his features seemed to slowly merge with a certain face in her mind.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the ceremony for my son's ascension to the Bo Consortium. The Bo Consortium has made it this far…"
It was indeed as she had imagined. The speaker on stage was Bo Jinchuan's father.
"Oh? Why does the person on stage look familiar?"
Even Qingzhi could tell.
The middle-aged man didn't rattle on for long. He led another round of applause before inviting the new CEO of Bo Consortium.
When Bo Jinchuan appeared on stage, there was a low buzz in the event hall.
"So he's the new owner of the Bo Consortium!"
"I sense that he had an extraordinary presence right from the start. I asked around but no one could find out who he was. So he's the main lead tonight…"
"It's a blessing to have such courage and capability at such a young age."
"I thought he would be a fat balding man. I didn't expect him to look like this…"
Xu Qingzhi was completely surprised. So that man was the young master of the Bo Consortium, the newly-appointed global CEO?
Shen Fanxing stood up as she pressed her palm on the table to support herself. Her legs felt a little wobbly and her slender body a little unsteady.
Yet, she forced herself to endure the discomfort brought by her throbbing head as she walked forward…
