Chapter 430 - 423: A Chill in the Air
At the entrance of the first-floor lobby of the Hua Mei International Building, the security guard on duty stood diligently at the door, his posture upright and eyes sharp.
A young girl timidly walked up and tapped the security guard on the shoulder, "Um... I’m looking for my brother-in-law."
The security guard looked at the girl and, without a hint of disdain for her demeanor, nodded politely and asked, "May I know who your brother-in-law is? Which department is he in?"
The girl tilted her head, "Which department... I can’t really say, but my brother-in-law’s name is Leng Yichen."
Security guard, "..."
Wang Hai finished reporting his findings. Leng Yichen instructed him to continue investigating Chen Zhu. A person who can be dealt with by money is the easiest to handle, especially someone like Chen Zhu, who enjoys petty theft.
As soon as Wang Hai left Leng Yichen’s office, Anna, the secretary, knocked and entered.
"Mr. Leng, there’s a girl downstairs claiming to be your sister-in-law looking for you." Anna looked a bit awkward, as she’d never encountered such a situation before.
"Sister-in-law?" Leng Yichen frowned slightly, "Did she say what her name is?"
"She said her name is Cheng Shishi."
It was Cheng Shishi’s first time at Huamei International. She had passed by here a few times before but never had the courage to go in. Today, not only did someone personally come down to pick her up, but they were also extremely respectful to her. All this made Cheng Shishi feel incredibly vain.
After all, Huamei International was way better than her dad’s little shabby company.
Anna led Cheng Shishi to take Leng Yichen’s special elevator, going straight to the top floor without any obstacles.
"Sister Anna, is my brother-in-law busy right now?" Cheng Shishi asked with sparkling eyes; everything here was so novel to her.
"He’s quite busy; he just finished a meeting." Anna replied blandly.
"Oh, then I came at a bad time, huh."
"However, Mr. Leng seems to be troubled by your sister’s pregnancy today." Anna said with a smile; Leng Yichen was indeed acting very strangely today.
"What!" Cheng Shishi’s eyes widened, "My sister is pregnant!"
Anna looked at Cheng Shishi’s exaggerated reaction and smiled helplessly.
"This Bai Yiran, such a big deal as getting pregnant, and she didn’t tell us!" Cheng Shishi blinked, muttering with her little mouth.
It wasn’t long before they reached Leng Yichen’s office, and Anna knocked on the door to bring Cheng Shishi inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw Leng Yichen lowering his head, busy over his desk. Cheng Shishi bounced in, "Yo! Brother-in-law! Long time no see!"
Anna looked at Cheng Shishi in shock, as she dared to be so brazen in front of Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen looked up and gestured to Anna that she could leave.
When it came to Bai Yiran’s only sister, Leng Yichen was still very tolerant, smiling and saying, "What brings you here?"
"Oh, I called my sister, but she didn’t answer. Since I was just passing by, with nothing to do, I thought I’d come up and have a look." Incidentally to score an expensive lunch, though Cheng Shishi didn’t have the nerve to say that out loud.
Hearing that Bai Yiran didn’t answer her phone again, Leng Yichen’s lips involuntarily curled downwards.
Is her phone just for decoration?
Leng Yichen checked the time; it was about lunchtime. "Shishi, try calling your sister again. Let’s have lunch together."
Upon hearing about a fancy lunch, Cheng Shishi happily nodded, but Bai Yiran’s phone still didn’t go through.
Leng Yichen’s face turned completely dark at this point, even Cheng Shishi noticed it, and she smiled awkwardly, "Uh, brother-in-law..."
Leng Yichen directly called Li Sha, only to find out that Bai Yiran had gone out to meet a client, and the client was a young man...
"Let’s go, Shishi." Leng Yichen stood up and headed straight for the door.
"Where to? Brother-in-law!"
"To find your sister."
For some reason, Cheng Shishi vaguely felt a slight chill.
