Chapter 320 Sandwich Cookies
The girl who was talking to Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Yiu-pang was not very old and her face looked a little youthful and immature, but her every frown and smile revealed a maturity far beyond her age.
She has a cool and charming appearance, with facial features that blend light and dark, and is so exquisite and beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
"Ms. Shen, how is your recovery from the gunshot wound?" Chen Yaobang looked cautious. He was really afraid that this person, who was protected by the red-headed document, would get into trouble again in Hong Kong.
"Don't worry, Director. The wound is not deep, but you've lost a lot of blood." Shen Shu gave him a reassuring look. His expression was so calm that you couldn't tell that he was someone who had just encountered a life-and-death assassination last night.
Speaking of which, she was somewhat puzzled. In her previous life, she was also shot and it took her more than half a month to recover. But this time, the wound healed so quickly. At this rate, the wound would be completely healed in less than a week. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a medical miracle.
Seeing that she looked good and walked like a normal person, Chen Yaobang finally felt relieved after a day and night of worry.
He came with the special police team that was protecting Shen Shu. For her safety, there are now police guarding inside and outside the Guo family manor.
"Is that Shen Shu?!" Ji Shaoqi exclaimed in confusion.
Yan Siyi, who was immersed in Wanle's short video, raised his head abruptly upon hearing this, with an expression of obvious shock.
Lin Leyao and Shi Yue were also very surprised and looked at the scene in a trance.
They all knew Shen Shu's background. She was a poor girl from Beijing and her family had just declared bankruptcy this year.
Although she had made a name for herself with her excellent driving skills and had a good relationship with them, her current social status was far from enough to attend tonight's banquet.
It's not that they look down on Shen Shu because of their status, but because this is the reality and the subtle social rules.
What surprised them was that Chen Yaobang, a high-ranking official who was always cold and hard-hearted, was speaking to her cautiously at this moment.
What was even more shocking was that the powerful old man of the Guo family actually came forward personally and attentively to greet Shen Shu and her male companion.
"Who is that man?" Ji Shaoqi raised the question in the minds of most people present.
He is very tall, with sharp and distinct facial features, a high nose, thin lips, and a dazzling face. He is in no way inferior to Song Shao just now.
He was wearing a white three-piece suit that matched Shen Shu's dress. He had a calm and elegant temperament.
His every move and gesture exudes the charm of a Western aristocrat of old money, and paired with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looks even more abstinent.
Interestingly, he was wearing a pair of black leather shoes with red soles, which did not match his temperament.
A touch of red among the vast white seemed to tell everyone that he had another face with a very contrasting feel.
Guo Baoyi suppressed her surprise and answered their questions: "This is one of the leaders of the Dawn Society of Country M, Xu Heqing."
A single stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the people nearby are all frozen after hearing this. Those young ladies who had some ulterior motives withdrew their gazes in fear.
It turned out to be this big boss. No wonder Mr. Guo was so abnormal. Tonight's banquet is really not simple...
"Shen Shu is actually involved with him. Fortunately, I didn't offend her last night." Ji Shaoqi wiped his sweat in fear. He couldn't understand how these two people with such different social status knew each other.
Yan Siyi fell into deep thought. If Shen Shu knew him, then it meant that she was also related to the Liming Society...
Liang Yufeng, who knew the whole story, remained silent for a rare time. He covered his eyes helplessly, unable to bear to watch the following scene.
Hearing the discussions around him, Song Yun casually raised his eyes to look. With just one glance, the wine glass in his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The red wine created tiny ripples, just like his sudden emotional ups and downs at the moment.
The lights at the banquet were dim and decadent, which effectively concealed the deep possessiveness in those dark eyes.
Song Yun took the cigar handed to him by the waiter. He squinted his eyes lazily in the smoke and watched Shen Shu and his group walking closer and closer to him.
His burning gaze traced from her hanging black hair to her slender waist. Only after confirming that she had recovered well from her injuries did he relax his tense heartstrings.
Feeling this scorching gaze, Shen Shu stopped talking with Chen Yaobang and looked over.
Even though there were dozens of meters between them and a crowd of people, she recognized him at first sight.
There's no other reason, it's hard not to recognize him with his superior height and dazzling face.
With his silver hair slicked back and a royal blue haute couture suit, even if he was just standing there casually and lazily, he couldn't hide the noble air that came from a prominent family.
The guests around him all smiled at him warmly, hinting at his extraordinary identity.
As she recalled, he always liked to tease her with a playful smile on his lips, would cook for her in person to prepare various nutritious meals, would punch in on time every day in his mechanic's work clothes, and would wait for her after school to eat at roadside stalls together.
Shen Shu paused. Compared with the Song Bai who came from the lower class in her impression, Song Yun at this moment was extremely different.
I have never seen him like this, a man with such noble manner, moving with ease in the world of fame and fortune, but this is his true and unconcealed face.
I'm afraid that the names I gave her were all false.
In fact, Shen Shu had already guessed that his identity was definitely not as simple as it seemed. At that time, he just thought it was normal for adults to have tacit secrets.
But when she really knows the truth, it doesn't mean she won't be angry.
As they were drinking and chatting, Song Yun slowly raised his head and looked over, and their eyes met across the air.
Sparks flew, and Shen Shu subconsciously tightened his hand around Xu Heqing's arm.
Seeing the deep meaning in Xu Heqing's eyes, she instantly understood the real purpose of him bringing her here tonight.
Shen Shu closed his eyes helplessly and whispered unhappily: "You men are really boring sometimes."
Unfortunately, their seats were next to Song Yun...
As the group approached, Guo Hailong stepped forward and made a brief introduction to make sure they didn't know each other.
Hearing his real name and true identity, Shen Shu spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone: "So you are Song Yun, the eldest son of the Song family in Beijing. I have heard of you for a long time."
She deliberately emphasized the word "Song Yun" and looked at him with a cold and distant gaze, as if they were meeting each other for the first time.
The pair of deep eyes of Midnight Cold Star were locked on the hand that she naturally held around Xu Heqing's arm.
Song Yun looked at Shen Shu with a dark and unclear look. He knew that the little girl was really angry this time.
But at this moment, he did not feel guilty or embarrassed about his true identity being discovered. All he felt was anger at having his home stolen from behind.
Just as Shen Shu was holding Xu Heqing's arm and preparing to sit down away from him, her wrist was suddenly grabbed hard by a big, hot hand.
She was forced to stand between Xu Heqing and Song Yun, like the layer in a sandwich, unable to move forward or backward.
