Biting the red lips

Chapter 40: The Orphan Girl Who Can’t Stand on the Stage
No matter how much Gu Huaichen tried to excuse Luo Xin in his heart, he had to admit that he had always been his follower when he was a child, insisting on following Luo Xin.

Luo Xin's attitude towards him as a girl was mostly impatient.

Thinking of this, Gu Huaichen smiled to himself, and when he looked at Sheng Wan beside him, there was a touch of warmth in his eyes.

"Old man, you are worrying too much. She has no other good qualities, and her mind is relatively pure. Although her brain is not good, she does not have any other crooked ideas."

Listening to the other party's clear words of praise, Sheng Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, but put on a polite smile on her face.

"Old man, I made you laugh, but Huai Chen is right. I never like to think too much, and I feel tired and panic. What's more, I have no reason to blame you."

Mr. Luo stroked his beard and smiled, looking like a kind elder: "Good boy, if you think like this, I feel relieved."

Sheng Wan raised her eyes slightly and gave him a sweet and gentle smile: "I'm the one who asked you to worry about it."

After exchanging a few words, Mr. Luo turned his eyes to Gu Huaichen who was standing aside.

"Xiao Chen, regarding this joint project between Luo and Gu, Xiaoxin showed me the information last night. She is still young and has little experience. I will tell you about the details in person."

He did not deliberately avoid people when he said these words, but Sheng Wan heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and naturally heard the underlying meaning of his words.

So as soon as Mr. Luo finished speaking, she took the initiative to leave: "Old man, you can chat, I'll go out first."

Seeing that she was informed and interested, Mr. Luo was satisfied. He knocked on the faucet stick in his hand and called the servants outside.

"Master, what are your orders?"

A middle-aged maid opened the curtain and came in, bowing her body and saying respectfully.

Mr. Luo glanced at Sheng Wan without any trace, and a hint of calculation flashed through his cloudy and shrewd eyes.

His hand holding the dragon-headed staff tightened slightly, he thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Wang Ma, you take Wan Yatou to the main hall and ask the kitchen to serve some snacks. Stop by and tell Xiaoxin that there are guests at home, and ask her to come out and entertain them."

After saying that, he looked at Sheng Wan with kind eyes, looking good at teaching.

"Wanwan, I heard that you don't like to go out very much? That's not okay. As a young man, you still need to have some freshness in your body."

"It just so happens that Xiaoxin has just returned from abroad and has no close friends in China. You two might as well get in touch with each other more. Maybe you can become a good pair of sisters."

Mr. Luo said with a smile.

I don't know if it was because of preconceptions, but the more Sheng Wan heard the words "good sister" in his words, the more awkward she felt.

After all, both of them knew very well that Luo Xin came back to China mainly for Gu Huaichen.

Seeing the loving smile on Mr. Luo's face, Sheng Wan felt disgusted, but she waved her hands as if she was flattered.

"How can I? I'm just a yellow-haired girl. Sister Luo Xin is mature and steady, but she definitely dislikes me."

Gu Huaichen sneered and flicked his head on her forehead.

"Assuming that you still have some self-awareness, well, I have some serious business to discuss with the old man, so you can go out and play first. When you see Sister Luo Xin later, talk to her properly and don't get too carried away."

Sheng Wan was stunned for a moment, then covered her forehead with a shy look on her face: "What are you doing? The old man is watching..."

However, Gu Huaichen gently rubbed the area where she had just been hit with his warm fingertips, and then let go of his hand with a smile.

"Go ahead, I'll come find you later."

Mr. Luo looked at the flirting pair in front of him, his shrewd eyes slightly narrowed.

During this time, news spread that something good was coming for the president of the Gu Group.

Mr. Luo didn't take the news to heart at first.

In his opinion, Gu Huaichen was just acting for the occasion, and Sheng Wan, an orphan from a poor family, was nothing to be afraid of.

Who would have known that this little orphan girl would establish a firm foothold by Gu Huaichen's side and become the only woman Gu Huaichen would reveal to the public.When Sheng Wan officially moved into the Xia family's mountainside villa, Mr. Luo had to start looking at this woman seriously.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to make an overseas phone call overnight to call Luo Xin home from abroad.

Mr. Luo originally thought that after Luo Xin came back, Gu Huaichen would abandon Sheng Wan as soon as possible and pursue Luo Xin again.

But the result was very different from what he imagined. Not only did Sheng Wan not fall out of favor, but she even fell in love with Gu Huaichen.

This will not work!
The boy of the Gu family can only be captured by his granddaughter.

How else could he unfold his plan?

Mr. Luo looked at the shy Sheng Wan, his eyes darkened for a moment with deep contempt.

As expected, she was a little orphan girl who couldn't stand up to the public. She openly flirted with men in front of her elders, without even the slightest bit of education.

I really don't know what to say!
Sheng Wan raised her eyes inadvertently, just in time to catch his unyielding gaze.

Mr. Luo paused, then adjusted his expression and put on a kind and kind smile again.

Despite this, Sheng Wan still felt Mr. Luo's dissatisfaction and hostility towards her.

In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. He already supported Luo Xin's return to compete for Gu Huaichen. How could he really like himself as Gu Huaichen's current girlfriend?

Sheng Wan looked towards Gu Huaichen and saw that he didn't notice, so she didn't say anything and turned around to follow Wang Ma and leave.

"Miss Sheng, this way please."

Sheng Wan followed Wang Ma through a long corridor covered with carpets printed with complicated patterns and arrived at a magnificent hall.

There is a small fountain in the center of the hall, and a huge crystal lamp hangs directly above it.

Even during the day, the place is still brightly lit.

"Miss Sheng, sit here."

Wang Ma welcomed him to sit down on the sofa, then made a cup of tea herself and handed it over.

"Miss Sheng, please sit here for a while, and I'll invite the eldest lady over."

Sheng Wan nodded slightly: "Okay."

As Wang Ma left, Sheng Wan looked at the entire hall.

The decoration is exquisite and the furnishings are luxurious. Just visible to the naked eye, there are many famous antique ornaments. It is indeed a famous family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Sheng Wan frowned after waiting for a while but not seeing Wang Ma come back.

She walked around the hall and walked to the door, where she found Wang Ma standing under the pillars outside the door, pacing back and forth anxiously, as if something was bothering her.

Sheng Wan narrowed her eyes, walked over and asked, "Wang Ma, what happened?"

Wang Ma panicked, "No, it's nothing..."

"Isn't it convenient to say it?" Sheng Wan had a warm smile on her face, looking considerate.

In fact, she already had a guess in her mind.

After all, the Luo family is a century-old family with strict rules. Unless someone does it deliberately, it is impossible to do such an unreasonable thing as leaving a guest aside and ignoring them.

Facts have proved that Sheng Wan's guess was not wrong, it was Luo Xin who caused trouble.

"Miss Sheng, what a coincidence, the eldest lady just went out." Wang Ma looked at her with a troubled face.
