Dịch giả: 549690339

In a lavish office, a tall woman with an elegant demeanor sat in front of her desk, which was stacked with thick files. However, her face was fraught with worry.

She gently rubbed her forehead, bangs hanging down and covering half of her pretty face but not enough to hide her somewhat weary expression.

This woman was none other than the general manager of Shengxia Group and Tianji Xaiqing's sister, Xia Bing!

Knock, knock, knock!

Upon hearing the knocking sound, Xia Bing raised her head, tidied her hair, and tried her best not to look too unkempt.

"Come in!"

Xia Bing said flatly, her voice devoid of much frost or emotion.

This woman exuded a cold and stunning aura from head to toe!

"Mr. Xia, there is a Mr. Xiao outside asking to see you."

A petite and round-faced young beauty said respectfully. This young beauty was Xia Bing's secretary, Pan Linlin.

"I don't want to see anyone today. Please decline for me,"

Xia Bing said, sounding a bit drained.

To tell the truth, she really felt like she could no longer hold on.

A girl of only twenty-two, in the prime of her youth, should be enjoying carefree, joyful days. But the heavy burden of her family was entirely on her shoulders now, leaving her increasingly overwhelmed.

She might have been able to just about manage the company's business affairs, but the recent actions by Zhang Hongtao were pushing her close to a breakdown.

One could say, the troubles caused by Zhang Hongtao were the last straw that broke her.

Pan Linlin did not leave immediately, instead, she hesitated, looking as if she had more to say.

"Is there anything else?"

Xia Bing asked softly.

After hesitating for a long time, Pan Linlin finally spoke, "This Mr. Xiao said… he says he's your brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law?!"

Xia Bing's eyes widened in shock.

Filled with deep-seated resentments, she now completely exploded with fury.

"Who dares to joke like this in the Xia Family's company!"

Xia Bing slammed the table as she stood up, her tone sharp with anger.

"This is no joke, sister-in-law!"

At that moment, Xiao Chen entered the office nonchalantly, hands behind his back, not at all intimidated by Xia Bing's imposing manner and with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Sir, you can't just come in like this…"

Pan Linlin was surprised that Xiao Chen had let himself in and hurriedly tried to push him out.

But Xia Bing spoke with a stern voice, "Let him in!"

"See, I told you Mr. Xia would definitely see me, right?"

Xiao Chen winked at Pan Linlin, "I'm a relative of Mr. Xia."

Clearly not used to being teased like this, Pan Linlin knew better than to get involved in such matters and quickly excused herself from Xia Bing, closing the door tightly behind her.

Xiao Chen casually took a seat on the sofa, looking up at Xia Bing, who had an icy expression on her face.

"Don't be so tense, sister-in-law!"

Xia Bing's brows were deeply furrowed, and Xiao Chen's attitude only stoked the flames of her anger.

"Do you know what joking like this means in the Xia Family?"

"I told you, I'm not joking," Xiao Chen shrugged, "Tianji Xaiqing sent me to see you."

Xia Bing was slightly taken aback, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly said sternly, "I'm warning you for the last time, don't joke about my sister!"

It was clear that Xia Bing was truly furious.

"This kid, so stubborn. Why won't she believe me?"

Xiao Chen let out a wry smile, "Your sister has a small mole underneath her left breast and another on the inside of her right thigh, right?"

Xia Bing had been about to call security to remove Xiao Chen, but upon hearing his words, a look of bewilderment flashed across her face.

Clearly, Xiao Chen was right!

Moreover, such a private matter could only be known by her sister!

Unless...

Unless this man had seen it, otherwise there would be no way for him to know so clearly!

But how could such an intimate place be casually seen by a man?

That means...

Xia Bing could hardly believe it!

"Do you really know my sister?"

Xia Bing was clearly getting a bit agitated!

"Of course, I'm your brother-in-law. How could I not know your sister? Not just know her, but very well!"

Xiao Chen pinched his chin, making a thoughtful face, "Right, your sister also said, you have a small mole on your right buttock!"

Xia Bing's face turned slightly red!

This time she was thoroughly convinced!

She could be sure that this private mark was only known by her sister, Xia Qing!

And she also believed that Xia Qing wouldn't just tell such a thing to a stranger!

But even if this person was her brother-in-law, there was no need for her sister to tell him, right?

Xia Bing felt a bit embarrassed, but she had pretty much believed that Xiao Chen was not joking!

"Where is my sister now?"

Xia Bing decided not to ponder on what he had just mentioned and asked the question she cared about most!

"In a very interesting place!" Xiao Chen smiled, "But she told me not to tell you!"

Xia Bing immediately showed a disappointed expression!

"She... still hasn't forgiven our father, has she?"

"As far as I know, your sister has never planned to forgive your family's old man!" Xiao Chen curled his lip, "Come on, tell your brother-in-law, what is this unsolvable issue between father and daughter? What could make such a nice woman hold a grudge for so many years?"

"My sister never told you?"

Xia Bing was a bit surprised.

Xiao Chen shook his head, "I asked once, but she didn't tell me, so I didn't ask again."

Xia Bing sighed and walked back to her seat, "Then let's wait until my sister wants to tell you, and let her explain it to you herself!"

Xiao Chen wasn't disappointed and just casually shrugged his shoulders.

"How did you... meet my sister?"

It was clear that Xia Bing deeply cherished her sister's emotions!

"Colleagues!"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly; this wasn't really a lie—the truth was, he and Tianji were both instructors at the Black Prison!

"Oh!"

Xia Bing felt a bit awkward, after all, facing this man who was a brother-in-law she had never met, she didn't know what kind of person he was. Their only topic of conversation was about her own sister.

However, it had already been many years since Xia Qing and Xia Bing had been separated!

So their conversation stumbled to a halt at this point!

"That, are you really married to my sister?"

Xia Bing forced the topic.

"Not yet!"

Xiao Chen looked at Xia Bing with interest, suddenly finding this pair of sisters quite fascinating!

Xia Qing was as passionate as fire, Xia Bing as cold as ice.

The two had diametrically opposite personalities that also reflected their own names!

And indeed, Xiao Chen believed what Tianji Xaiqing had said—her sister really was a beauty!

Just this aloof temperament alone was enough to make it difficult for men not to be moved!

After hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Xia Bing suddenly widened her eyes, exclaiming in disbelief, "What? Not married? Then you two have already..."
