Your Love Is My Weapon novel Chapter 165

"Mr. Jones." The person who greeted him was the president of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited. They had cooperated for a long time.

Xavier bowed his head slightly in response.

Mr. Lau's gaze fell on Ryan. "He's..."

"Mr. Jones."

At this moment, Rufus walked towards Xavier and interrupted his conversation with Mr. Lau. He said with dissatisfaction, "Mr. Jones, it looks like you dislike me, and you misunderstand me so badly. You did not give me a chance even if I made so many invitations. You always think of me as an unforgivable bad person."

Xavier adjusted his sleeves and replied calmly, "Mr. Gates, you always have the chance even if I do not give it to you. You still have the ability to make yourself many chances. As for being unforgivable, you are underestimating yourself."

Rufus's expression changed slightly and then he forced a smile. "Mr. Jones, you are joking as if I'm really a bad person."

Xavier did not reply to him. His expression seemed to tell Rufus that he did not care what Rufus said and that he had everything under control. Just with the same expression, he could fight with thousands of enemies both in the criminal world and in the one with police and still could stay calm and collected.

Rufus would not rest until he pissed off Xavier. "Miss Harrison, oh no, Mr. Jones's ex-fiancée's ability to please a man..."

Rufus deliberately made a pause, and thus what he meant was self-evident.

It was a mocking to Xavier, with the aim to make him unhappy.

But Xavier smiled instead, "She is just an ordinary woman. If Mr. Gates likes her, you can do as you please."

The indifferent look made Rufus feel like he was just wasting his efforts.

It could not make Xavier have any mood swings, but instead, Rufus had to swallow his own anger.

"Just an ordinary woman? Xavier looked so indifferent that he seemed not to care about that woman at all. She meant nothing to him.

It was rumored that Xavier loved Harriet very much. But he didn't even care about her from what Rufus could tell.

'Did I get the wrong information?'

'or was Xavier indeed a heartless person?'

It must be the latter. It was quite common for men in Xavier's position to have different women. Men always wanted to try all kinds of women.

Rufus knew that no matter what he was going to say, he couldn't tease Xavier. So he found an excuse for himself. "Excuse me, I still have to entertain guests. I won't accompany Mr. Jones. "

"Ok, Mr. Gates."

Rufus's face darkened. It was not his first time dealing with Xavier. So he knew that he was not a pushover. However, he didn't expect that Xavier did not care anything at all.

Owen saw that Rufus was unhappy and whispered in his ear, "The wine has been served."

Rufus turned around and saw Xavier talking to a few officials. He didn't know what they said. It seemed that they had a pleasant conversation. And the waiter walked towards them with several glasses of wine in his hand.

Rufus narrowed his eyes. He believed that he could give Xavier a bad name this time.

As he walked, he said to Owen, "Keep an eye on it. Don't make any mistakes."

Owen said, "Yes."

On such an occasion, drinking wine was a must. Some people took the initiative to clink glasses with Xavier. They were all partners and some petty officials who wanted to play up to Xavier.

In return, Xavier needed to show some respect.

When Mr. Gates came out in the middle of the party, the guests gathered together. It was a birthday banquet, so everyone brought a gift with them.

In general, the birthday gifts were not expensive. If one would like to give an expensive present asking favor of the birthday man, he had to send it to the man in private.

"Xavier, the youngest and most promising one among the younger generation." Mr. Gates patted Xavier on his shoulder. "Rufus and you are in the same generation, but he's not as good as you."

"You must be joking." Xavier quietly put Mr. Gates's hand away.

Mr. Gates frowned and said in an avuncular tone, "Your father often told me that you have all the advantages. But you don't know how to be flexible in your approaches."

Xavier was more direct than him. "I'm timid and afraid of revenge."

When Xavier refused to be part of their group, they were destined to be enemies.

Sooner or later, they would have an all-out dog fight. He did not take Rufus seriously, he was not afraid of him even if Mr. Gates was still in power.

Because they couldn't find any of his faults.

He was a clean businessman in public.

As for the rest, it depended on how well he could hide and how well others could find it.
