Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 477

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 477

When Wen Xian died, Zong Jinghao was about seven or eight years old. At that time, she was only a newborn. In other words, the letter might have existed long before that.

It was so long ago. Is this person even alive? Could he have left?

There were too many possibilities, so she wanted to sort things out.

The receptionist scrutinized her. “Who are you?”

She came to the company with two kids and addressed Mr. Shao by his full name. Who exactly is this woman?

“Just tell us if there’s such a person here. Why do you have to ask so many questions?” Lin Xichen said impatiently, as the receptionist was obviously keeping the information to herself and distracting them with irrelevant questions.

Lin Xinyan pulled her son’s hand. “Mind your manners.”

“Daddy once said that we’re not supposed to bully others, but we shouldn’t get bullied either. We only asked if there is a person named Shao Yun, but instead of answering the question, she asked who you are. Obviously, she wants to know your identity and deliberately kept the information from us. Since there’s no point asking her anymore, let’s just get out of here. As long as this person isn’t dead, we’ll be able to find him,” Lin Xichen replied. Surprisingly, Lin Ruixi agreed with her brother this time, “Let’s go, Mommy.” Having said that, the trio headed toward the entrance hand in hand.

The receptionist was a little dumbfounded. It was really unexpected that a child could say such things. He seems precocious and isn’t afraid of strangers.

“Well, do you want me to make a call and ask?” the receptionist called after them.

Lin Xichen glanced at her and gave it a thought before saying, “Okay then, go ahead.”

He stopped in his tracks and waited for an answer from the receptionist.

The receptionist dialed the extension of the secretary in the president’s office. “Someone’s here looking for Mr. Shao.”

“Does the person have an appointment?”

“No.”

“That means meeting with this person isn’t on Mr. Shao’s schedule. Do you still have to ask?”

“No, but…” The receptionist looked at Lin Xinyan while she spoke, “She’s a beautiful woman with two kids, and she called Mr. Shao by his full name…”

“A woman with kids?” Her words stirred up the secretary’s curiosity. Coming here with kids? Who could she be?

The secretary said, “Ask for her name.”

The receptionist looked at Lin Xinyan and asked, “What’s your name?”

Lin Xinyan was about to say her name when it struck her that Shao Yun should be around the same age as Wen Xian, so he might not know who she was. Hence, she replied, “Wen Xian.”

After telling the secretary, the receptionist hung up and asked Lin Xinyan to wait for a while.

“Would you like to sit down and wait?” the receptionist offered.

“No,” Lin Xichen turned her down coldly.

Lin Xinyan looked at her son with a frown. “Xi—” She was about to call him Xichen again when she stopped herself mid-sentence. It’s so hard to change old habits.

Right then, the president’s secretary knocked on the door of Mr. Shao’s office.

After a rich baritone voice sounded from the office, the secretary opened the door. In the spacious and brightly lit office, all the office furniture was specially made of Siamese rosewood with dark-colored designs. The conspicuous paintings behind the desk were all masterpieces of famous painters, and the papers of the paintings were slightly yellowish, giving off the impression that they were genuine. But of course, it was only natural that Mr. Shao, the head of JK Group, was able to afford a few art pieces. Just the whole set of Siamese rosewood furniture alone cost him at least a million.

The man looked around the age of fifty, but he seemed to be young at heart with his blue floral shirt, cropped trousers, and white leather shoes, which were now popular among young people. His youthful outfit indicated that he didn’t like dressing according to his age. Perhaps he was reluctant to look like the middle-aged man he was.

He didn’t possess the composure that he was expected to have at this age as he put his legs on the desk and shook them.

The secretary had long been accustomed to it, so she wasn’t the least bit surprised. “Someone is looking for you downstairs.”
