As Xiao Shun approached, the two women had already taken their seats. In addition to them, there were three fashionably dressed, exquisitely made-up beauties in the booth. Each had their own charm. One of them looked familiar.


    He quickly remembered that he had seen her at a gathering at Mo Yibai’s house, but he couldn’t recall her name.


    Ouyang Qianqian felt a shiver when she saw Xiao Shun. She never expected to encounter him in a ce like this. Shouldn’t someone of his caliber be in more upscale venues, like private clubs?


    After their hurried farewellst time, Ouyang Qianqian knew very well who Xiao Shun was.


    He had hit both Dong Zimin and Li Shangzhi, two arrogant young masters in Stillwater, and hade out unscathed.


    In Stillwater, apart from the mysterious big shot who had single-handedly toppled the Sikong family, forced the family head tomit suicide, and made the entire family flee, who else could have such power?From N?velDrama.Org.


    Since he was a mysterious big shot, even his own high-ranking family members kept mum about his name. It could be guessed that Xiao Shun didn’t want to reveal his identity.


    So Ouyang Qianqian just smiled at him and nodded, as a greeting.


    Xiao Shun smiled back at her, also not speaking to greet her.


    Aside from Yao Xiaoyu’s sisters, there were also two young men. As they caught sight of Yao Xiaoyu, their eyes simultaneously brightened, revealing a hint of greedy desire deep within. Yao Xiaoyu, wearing light makeup, was undoubtedly more exceptional in appearance and demeanor than the other girls present.


    The girl who had just embraced her, named Tong Feifei, pointed to one of the young men wearing a floral shirt and introduced him to Yao Xiaoyu, saying, “This is Zhou Chu.” Then she pointed to the other, a young man sporting dyed blond hair, “This is Fan Yang. They’re both friends I’ve recently met.”


    She continued, “This is my best friend Yao Xiaoyu. She just returned from the capital and brought greetings from the people there to meet everyone. If my little sister needs anything in the future, you two should take good care of her.” With that, Tong Feifei put her arm around Yao Xiaoyu’s shoulder and introduced her to the two men.


    After politely greeting the two men, Yao Xiaoyu sat down without any intention of introducing Xiao Shun. The young men regarded Xiao Shun with the hostility characteristic of their gender. Yao Xiaoyu hadn’t nned on introducing Xiao Shun, but when Tong Feifei saw him, she looked him up and down with a hint of disdain and asked, “Xiaoyu, is this your boyfriend?”


    Yao Xiaoyu quickly exined, “No, he’s my cousin’s husband, Xiao Shun. He picked me up from the airport, and when I received your call halfway there, he came along.”


    Tong Feifei blinked and suddenly realized, “Is he the son-inw you mentioned before, the one married to your beautiful cousin?” After saying this, she looked at Xiao Shun again with disdain in her eyes.


    Ouyang Qianqian felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She had a decent rtionship with Tong Feifei and was afraid the girl might say something outrageous. The man beside her was like a dozing tiger; when not provoked, he was a quiet and somewhat clumsy sick cat. But when roused, a mere flick of his finger could crush everyone present.


    Fortunately, Xiao Shun didn’t mind and sat down on the edge of the booth. Ouyang Qianqian finally rxed, thinking that perhaps she had been overly worried. In fact, the temper of this Mr. Xiao was quite good. Last time at Mo Yibai’s house, many people had mocked and ridiculed him, but he hadn’t taken it to heart. However, caution was still necessary, as keepingpany with such a man was like walking with a tiger. He now seemed like the emperor of Stillwater.


    Yao Xiaoyu didn’t dodge the question, directly admitting, “Yes, that’s him.” She then briefly introduced her friends to Xiao Shun, “Xiao Shun, these are my friends, Tong Feifei, Guo Qing, Ouyang Qianqian, and Jiang Xue.” Xiao Shun nodded calmly and collectedly in response.


    Obviously, the others had heard various things about Yao Xiaoyu’s beautiful cousin and her son-inw. Xiao Shun seemed out of ce among these people, and their gazes held a hint of disdain for him as an outsider. They could not yet grasp therger matters Xiao Shun was involved in, and even Ouyang Qianqian had only guessed as much through intuition.


    “Xiaoyu, do you n to stay here permanently or just visit?” After the introductions, Tong Feifei got to the point.


    “I won’t be going back for a while after this visit. I might even settle down here for good,” Yao Xiaoyu replied.


    “Do you n to inherit the family business?”


    “I don’t intend to work at my family’spany. My major doesn’t fit in. I n to work at my cousin’s Starline. I studied molecr science, and Starline focuses on health products. I want to hone my skills in their technical department,” Yao Xiaoyu said, sipping her drink.


    As she finished, she looked at Xiao Shun. She knew that he now held all of Starline’s shares, making him the true owner of thepany. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of injustice for Yao Cen. She had no idea how Yao Cen could have let this good-for-nothing take control of the shares.


    “Brother-inw, you won’t mind me joining, right?” Yao Xiaoyu asked with a sarcastic smile.


    “Of course not,” Xiao Shun replied indifferently.


    “Do you really need to greet him when you go to work at your cousin’s ce? Isn’t he just a useless son-inw? He doesn’t have any say.” Tang Feifei affectionately held Yao Xiaoyu’s hand and giggled.


    Ouyang Qianqian’s heart suddenly leaped, and she looked at Tang Feifei with aplicated expression, feeling helpless as she saw herpanion about to fall into a trap.


    She then nced at Xiao Shun.


    Thetter still maintained an indifferent and calm expression, as if he didn’t care at all.


    Ouyang Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Feifei, you should say less…” Ouyang Qianqian couldn’t help but remind Tang Feifei.


    Tang Feifei looked at her inexplicably, “Qianqian, what’s wrong?”


    Ouyang Qianqian pursed her lips, “Nothing, just be more considerate since it’s our first time meeting Mr. Xiao.”


    Tang Feifeiughed, “Has our Miss Qianqian been practicing Buddhismtely? So kind-hearted? Besides, I’m not wrong. Who doesn’t know that Xiaoyu’s beautiful cousin married a loser?”


    Ouyang Qianqian rolled her eyes at Tang Feifei and ignored her, thinking she was on her own.


    “The technical department has no future; you only get a fixed sry every month. If you’re interested, you cane to ourpany. My former assistant has just resigned, and I need a new one. There’s not only a base sry but also highmissions.” Zhou Chu’s eyes shed with evil thoughts as he looked at Yao Xiaoyu.


    With Yao Xiaoyu’s beauty and inexperience, he believed it wouldn’t take long for him to coax her into bed.
