    Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang got into the car. A nket of silence ensued. After the car drove for a distance, Xing Linlin finally said with reddened eyes, “Did Mr. Cheng Lang really give that vi to Xing Shu?”


    Cheng Xingyang was in a bad mood. When he heard Xing Linlin mention this, his tone became harsh. “On the first day Young Uncle returned to Cheng Corporation Group, I stared down the barrel of a gun. As a result, Young Uncle gave the vi to Xing Shu as a greeting gift.”


    Greeting gift? Xing Linlin trembled with anger. She had been by Cheng Xingyang’s side for so many years and became his mistress willingly. She only got the vi after all her sacrifices and absolute obedience to him. In the end, Cheng Lang actually gave it to Xing Shu as a gift? The words “greeting gift” were like a p to her face.


    Xing Linlin could not help but hazard a guess. “Why would Mr. Cheng Lang give


    Xing Shu such avish gift? Could they…”


    Cheng Xingyang was instantly impatient. “This isvish? Young Uncle dominated Wall Street at the age of 16 or 17. To him, 20 million yuan is nothing. Although he is the President of Cheng Corporation Group, his personal assets are much more than Cheng Corporation Group’s. No one knows just how much money he has made overseas.”


    The younger generation of the Cheng family all admired Cheng Lang deeply. He was the benchmark of the industry, the epitome of sess.


    Cheng Xingyang’s words made Xing Linlin’s heart burn even more. If she could catch Cheng Lang’s eye, she could ask for the moon and would still get it. She already had the intention to y up to Cheng Lang and gain his favor to begin with. Now that she heard Cheng Xingyang’s words, she was desperate to meet Cheng Lang. She pretended to mention casually, “Mr. Cheng Lang has such an eminent status. Shouldn’t you find time to treat him to a meal? Get in good with him and win him over.” She was about to say that she would go along when the time came, but Cheng Xingyang’s next words instantly shattered her hopes. “Even if there’s a meal to be had, I have to bring Xing Shu along. You can’t go. Members of the Cheng family can fool around, but it’s best not to parade it in front of Young Uncle. If I bring you along for the meal, I can forget about returning to Cheng Corporation Group for the rest of my life.”


    Thest trace of color on Xing Linlin’s face faded. She was livid! Was she destined to be Cheng Xingyangs mistress for the rest ofher life? How could she ept this?!


    Cheng Xingyang realized that his words were a little hurtful, so he added, “Let’s talk about it after my engagement with Xing Shu is annulled.”


    Unfortunately, Xing Linlin was notforted by Cheng Xingyang’s words. She felt that Cheng Xingyang’s attitude recently had been very strange. He was aloof to her, and his attitude towards Xing Shu was even stranger. It made her very uneasy. “Cheng Xingyang, will you really annul the engagement to Xing Shu?” Her voice was very aggrieved, and tears fell.


    When Cheng Xingyang heard this, he panicked for a moment. A voice in the depths of his heart told him that he did not want to let Xing Shu off just like that. Xing Shu used to treat him very well and give in to him in every way. Now, she disdained him. Was everything in the past all fake? Had she never loved him? This thought made Cheng Xingyang extremely ufortable. He gritted his teeth and replied, “The engagement will be annulled in two months’ time, thetest.”


    Xing Linlin could only nod with tears in her eyes. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”


    Cheng Xingyang did not dare to look into Xing Linlin’s eyes. He could only stare straight ahead.


    Meanwhile, Xing Shu had already helped Feng Daxiang to sort out the gifts.


    “Director, distribute it to the children tomorrow. Everything has been sorted out. Food is over here and clothes are over there.”


    Feng Daxiang looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s veryte now. Are you sure you want to go back alone? Why don’t you stay here tonight?”


    Xing Shu shook her head. “No, I still have to go to work tomorrow.”


    Feng Daxiang did not insist anymore. He took out a few preserved sausages from the fridge. “I made them myself during the new year. Take them back and try them.” In order to take care of the children in the welfare home, Feng Daxiang knew how to make almost everything. He would teach the children to make dumplings and mooncakes. However, during Xing Shu’s time in the welfare home, life was hard. They barely had enough to eat. They could only afford to eat a little more during the holidays. Therefore, everyone would eat until they were stuffed every holiday.


    “Thank you, Director.” Xing Shu carried the bag of sausages and rushed back to the apartment. By the time she reached home, it was already 1 a.m.. She washed up briefly and checked her emails and private messages. Cheng Lang still did not reply..
