Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Coming Over On Purpose (2)_1

"Weren’t you the one who had someone call me, claiming you were drunk and needed me to pick you up?" Xia Chen’an quietly responded to Xia Wan’an before sitting down beside her.

The call he received was from a strange number, claiming that his wife Xia Wan’an had drunk too much at the Beijing Grand Hotel and needed him to come and collect her.

He was puzzled then; his darling sister suddenly became his wife?

Upon arriving and finding Xia Wan’an looking fine, with Han Jingnian also present, he knew...the actual purpose of the call was to get him here.

Although he may appear carefree and flippant, as a lawyer, he possesses an astuteness attributable to his profession. Even though he may not know exactly what’s going on, he can guess that someone definitely has bad intentions towards his cherished sister.

Xia Chen’an’s expression didn’t change much, but his eyes became somewhat sharp.

Because the person on the phone claimed Xia Wan’an was his wife, he didn’t greet Han Jingnian as "my dear brother-in-law" as he had done before, but rather politely nodded at Han Jingnian and changed the form of address to "President Han."

After observing Xia Chen’an’s series of reactions, Xia Wan’an roughly guessed the whole story.

It must have been either Gao Lin or Ai Jiang who made the call to her brother. Ai Jiang knew she had a brother but had never seen him, so she probably assumed her brother was her husband. As for the phone number, it was likely supplied by Youman, that dear girl at home.

Just now, she was wondering about the purpose of Ai Jiang inviting Han Jingnian. It seems that Ai Jiang tricked Gao Lin into targeting her, then had Han Jingnian come to watch the show, all to make Han Jingnian see her true nature!

So...in the end, the fool Gao Lin, having failed last time, not only failed to learn her lesson, but was exploited by Ai Jiang once again!

As Xia Wan’an was piecing together the puzzle, and having already exchanged greetings with everyone in the room (except for Han Jingnian), Gao Lin, holding a wine glass, approached Xia Chen’an: "Hello, you must be Miss Xia’s husband, right?"

Sitting next to Xia Wan’an, Han Jingnian looked up at the source of the voice upon hearing the statement. Realising the words were not addressed to him, he merely tightens his lips, saying nothing.

Xia Chen’an took a fresh wine glass, pouring himself a drink. Neither confirming nor denying whether he was Xia Wan’an’s husband, he just toasted with a smile and replied, "Hello."

Despite Xia Chen’an’s distance, Gao Lin didn’t seem to mind. After drinking her wine, she returned to her seat next to President Wang.

She slowed down as she passed by Gu Yuzhi, expecting him to strike up a conversation. However, to her surprise, Gu Yuzhi merely stared down at the plate in front of him.

Although she was unwilling to accept it, she managed to suppress her feelings, believing that in a little while, Azhi would finally realize the true nature of that shameless woman!

Once seated, Gao Lin raised her glass again, offering a toast to everyone: "If there’s a chance in future, we must collaborate."

In business, it’s better to make friends than enemies, so everyone raised their glasses in polite agreement, echoing her sentiment with replies of "Absolutely."

Once she put her drink down, Gao Lin turned to the waiter who had come into the room with her: "By the way, can you turn on the TV and play some music for us?"

"Certainly." The waiter replied with a smile, and took the remote control to turn on the TV.
