Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Glad To See You Again (1)_1

"I haven’t had the chance to thank you for the matter at the press conference a few days ago. Thank you, Miss Xia ..." After saying this line, Xia Chen’an paused for a moment before speaking again, "I’m glad to see you still here."

With just that one sentence, Xia Wan’an nearly lost control of her expression, her eyes reddening.

To others, Xia Chen’an’s words seem like simple greetings and small talk, but Xia Wan’an knew the genuine meaning behind his words, thanks to Song Youman revealing the truth to her family.

I’m glad to see you ... I’m glad you’re still alive.

Keeping her expression unchanged, Xia Wan’an remained silent for more than ten seconds, waiting for her inner turmoil to calm down before she smiled and said, "Likewise."

With so many people around and fearing that they might notice something, Xia Wan’an and Xia Chen’an said their hellos and then went their separate ways.

Before entering the venue, Xia Wan’an had already stunned everyone with her stunning appearance. Although they did not recognize her, many knew Lin Zhengyi, so quite a few people asked about Xia Wan’an when greeting Lin Zhengyi, then taking the opportunity to chat with her for a while.

...

The more Ai Jiang paid attention to the girl who wore the same dress as her, the more disheartened she became, and the more she found herself unable to resist watching the girl’s every move and listening to her every word.

She learned from the bystanders’ discussions that the girl’s name was Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan... her name was only one character different from Xia Wan’an... She liked Han Jingnian, but ended up losing him to Xia Wan’an. She had put a lot of effort into tonight’s banquet, thinking it would place her in the spotlight, but instead, Xia Wanwan stole all her thunder!

Indeed, there was not a single woman with a name similar to this that was any good!

Ai Jiang watched wave after wave of celebrities and nobles greet Xia Wanwan, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.

This was originally her moment of glory, but now it was stolen by this unexpected guest named Xia Wanwan.

She’d been preparing for so long, endured so much; she couldn’t allow this woman to defeat her so easily. She had to think of a way to make her embarrass herself in front of everyone!

Yes, embarrass her!

In this world, anyone offending Ai Jiang wouldn’t end well. Just look at Xia Wan’an, a clever person who ended up drowned in the sea. If Xia Wan’an could fall into her trap, what chance did Xia Wanwan have?

Thinking thus, a chill appeared at the corners of Ai Jiang’s lips.

...

Xia Wan’an, who had been exchanging pleasantries with people non-stop, winked several times at Lin Chen, who then brought over a glass of wine and came to her rescue.

"Lin Chen, did you do this on purpose? Didn’t you see me giving you signals?"

"Little President, how dare I? I’m short-sighted and forgot to wear my contact lenses when I left home today..."

Xia Wan’an laughed lightly, not bothering to answer Lin Chen.

"Little President, you can’t blame me, it was you who wanted to be with my old man. If you agreed to be with me, you wouldn’t have to be so tired, right? I initially thought you were going to be with me, but at the last minute you went off with our old man, which forced me to hire a female companion to come here..."

Xia Wan’an, who was drinking juice, nearly choked on hearing the phrase "hired a female companion", "Hired?"

"Yeah, four thousand an hour! I couldn’t just come here alone. After all, I’m the second young master of the Lin family. It would be demeaning if I didn’t have a female companion!"

Hearing Lin Chen’s bold words, Xia Wan’an couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her lips, "..." The two Lin brothers, one a genius, the other turned out to be so silly. No wonder the older brother studied abroad in America and became a renowned scientist, while the younger one could only inherit the family fortune!

Xia Wan’an was about to tell Lin Chen, "If word got out about you hiring a female companion, it would damage your reputation far more than if you came alone!"

But just as she was about to speak, a commotion suddenly arose not far off.

Xia Wan’an instinctively turned her head to look, and just as she saw who had entered the venue, the words she had intended to say vanished from her lips.
