Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 146

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 146

This was the first time Zong Jinghao had seen her in formal wear. The pink silk on her displayed her elegant curves. The ankle-length dress was perfectly tailored and the waist was gathered to show off her thin waist. Her hair was casually done up and it gave off the unique charm of femininity.

It was only when she turned around then she realized the burning gaze from the man beside the car.

She was about to greet him when Zong Jinghao started walking into the store with no signs of wanting to talk to her.

Lin Xinyan seemed to understand his reaction. He must have seen Yuxiu’s car earlier.

After Yuxiu had followed Lin Xinyan to the meeting room, Su Zhan had called Zong Jinghao.

He came hurriedly, worrying that Yuxiu would put her in a difficult position or embarrass her. Who knew that when he came, the two were talking happily as if they were familiar with each other.

He felt surprised. Lin Xinyan had not come back that long so how did they know each other?

And it seemed like they were on close terms.

When Su Zhan saw Zong Jinghao come in, he immediately walked over to him. “They just left.”

“I saw.” The corner of Zong Jinghao’s lips were turned upwards, but it was not a joyous smile.

Su Zhan shrugged. “They went into the room to talk so we didn’t hear anything. I don’t know what they’d talked about, but I’m sure that’s definitely not the first time they’ve met.”

When they met, they did not seem like strangers to each other.

“You’ve brought her home before? Is that why she knows her?” Su Zhan did not think that it was a plausible reason. It was not Zong Jinghao’s style to bring Lin Xinyan home back then.

His matters were decided by only himself. He was unable to reject the marriage because it was arranged by his late mother.

He coldly said, “No.”

Su Zhan immediately stopped talking. It seemed like there was something going on here. How did Lin Xinyan come to know Yuxiu?

Su Zhan opened his mouth and was about to continue talking when Shen Peichuan pulled onto him. He reminded, “Can’t you see that he’s in a bad mood?”

Su Zhan closed his mouth.

By this time, many guests have arrived. Lin Xinyan did not see Zong Jinghao when she returned to the lounge and Mrs. William had pulled her along to introduce her to friends, so Lin Xinyan packed away her thoughts.

“You’ll be taking care of my clothes from now on.” The woman, who looked like she was in her fifties, had a graceful look. Her figure was slightly plump and she was wearing a black dress with a veil cape. She looked noble in her clothes.

The people who can afford to wear LEO’s designs were either rich or powerful.

As Country Z’s capital, B City naturally had many rich people.

“Thank you for your trust.” Lin Xinyan answered with a smile.

“When I wanted to wear LEO’s designs, I had to go out of the country just to design my clothes. Now this is much better.” She looked at Mrs. William, and as if she was complaining, she said, “It’s long due for you to open a branch here.”

She seemed curious as to why Mrs. William had decided to open a branch here in Country Z. “Why did you think of opening a branch? And here, Country Z, of all places? Is there a story behind it?”

Mrs. William’s expression turned tense. The story behind this was a long story, and she did not want to talk about it. Lin Xinyan came to her rescue and said, “It’s me. I’m the one who asked Mrs. William to open a branch. I’m from Country Z, so naturally, the store is here.”

“Oh, I see.” It was not a serious question, so the woman did not suspect the truth behind her words.

“There’ll be a catwalk later. The designs are exclusively for LEO’s opening. If you like them, you can get them.” Mrs. William continued chatting with her.

At this moment, a few guests had come in. It was Xia Zhenyu and He Ruilin. Perhaps it was because of the incidents at home, Xia Zhenyu looked tired. However, she had come because she was familiar with Mrs. William.

Holding her arms was He Ruilin. She was Lin’s eldest daughter, naturally she had dressed up well. She was wearing a black dress that exposed her back. There were slits on the dress that went up to her thigh. She looked seductive.

She knew that Lin Xinyan would be here, so she had spent time and effort in dressing up.

She no longer had the impulsiveness from before when she met with Lin Xinyan. This time, she was quietly standing beside Xia Zhenyu.

The plump woman from earlier greeted Xia Zhenyu. Rich wives often accompanied their husbands for events, it was normal for them to know each other for a few meetings.

And they knew Mrs. William was because of their clothes.

As the wives of CEOs and Presidents, they had to wear fanciful clothing. Bespoke wear perfectly fits their requirements.

They would not have to worry about meeting someone else with the same clothing.

And they could even request for matching sets to match with their husband’s suits.

Xia Zhenyu did not show anything else but a smile for greeting Lin Xinyan despite the fact that Lin Xinyan was involved in causing her family troubles. After all, this was a public place.

Lin Xinyan was not familiar with her. It was only because of He Ruize that she knew about her.

She returned a smile to her.

In a corner, Shen Xiuqing was holding a broom as she glared at Lin Xinyan. Her daughter was missing and she had suffered in prison while Lin Xinyan was enjoying her life here.
