Chapter 76: Being Probed

“Did Miss Lin just come back from abroad?”

“Oh, yes, just came back.”

“People like you who have been abroad for a long time can not really adapt to the winter in China. The winter here is bone-chilling and snow is flying everywhere. I like Hawaii. I can enjoy the beach and the sunshine anytime.”

“After staying abroad for a long time, you will always miss your country. After all, your roots are here.”

“Yes, that’s right. It seems that President Yan and Hu Han will be chatting for a long time. Miss Lin, why don’t you come with me? Eh, the hairpin on Miss Lin’s head is really beautiful. Isn’t it the latest style of Alin? President Yan really dotes on Miss Lin.”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this woman who was well-rounded. This was the first time she had direct contact with such a woman. From being flustered and at a loss at the beginning, to being guided by this woman bit by bit, the conversation became more and more natural. This Hannah was indeed amazing.

“In that case, I will bring the proposal to President Yan’s company in three days. Then, we will discuss it in detail with President Yan.”

“Today, the hotel is officially open for business. As the owner of the most famous K-ONE Hotel in the world, President Yan, you must give me your opinion.”

After saying this, Shen Xiaoxiao saw a hint of surprise on Hannah’s face. Perhaps she did not know that such a young man was actually the president of K-ONE. This was really unexpected.

However, it was clear that Yan Kuan was not that interested in tangling with this Hu Han. He only said very lightly, “The location is different, the national conditions are different. In comparison, the hall has already done very well.”

These words instantly made Hu Han extremely happy. It was very rare to receive a nod of approval from the boss of K-ONE.

“President Hu, you should go and greet the other friends. We will talk about our matters later.”

None of these merchants were idiots. He understood Yan Kuan’s meaning immediately. He did not pester him and directly nodded.

“There are quite a lot of people here today. It’s not good to not to greet them. Please help yourself, President Yan. I’ll go over first.”

“Miss Lin, we’ll talk later.”

Hannah also greeted Shen Xiaoxiao. She held Hu Han’s arm and walked away. From the beginning to the end, she did not even look at Yan Kuan. This made Shen Xiaoxiao a little surprised. This woman was very powerful.

“Little thing, how is it? How much information have you been coaxed out of?”

As soon as the two people left, Yan Kuan looked at the delicate little girl in front of him with a face full of amusement. Shen Xiaoxiao said in a flat tone, “I’m not stupid. How could there be anything coaxed out of me?”

Yan Kuan took the orange juice from her hand, held her somewhat cold hand, and said, “You really are a little fool. You have to know that every word spoken by people in the business world is not simple. There is a hidden meaning in their words, especially in these social events. The female companions they brought along are all very well-rounded and can not be underestimated.”

“Just like that woman just now, she did not ask anything and directly said that you foreign students have stayed abroad for a long time and are not used to the winter in China.”

“The subtext of this sentence was to ask which family’s eldest daughter you are from in China or the daughter of a large family overseas.”

“If you say that you have stayed abroad for a long time and miss China, this means that your family is in China and not abroad.”

“Looking at the wealthy families who attended the banquet again, perhaps that woman has already started to help you choose which family you’re from.”

“She changed the topic to the accessories on your head. With their eyesight, they naturally wouldn’t mistake the good stuff, so for a moment, she wasn’t sure. She wanted to bring you to the other side or perhaps through some other communication to dig out your background.”

“If it weren’t for me ending the conversation with Hu Han earlier, little thing, you would have been dug out completely today.”

“What? Is that so?”

Shen Xiaoxiao did not think so deeply. In her past life and this life, the number of times she attended banquets could be counted on one hand. This was because she was not good at socializing and was not used to their way of speaking.

A thing could clearly be asked directly or simply said. They would go around in many circles. In any case, it would make people feel very tired and very awkward.

Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that the first time she was facing such a seemingly insignificant woman, she was able to scheme against people like this.

“Little guy, you don’t have to do this. These women have long developed the ability to be well-rounded. It’s because the men around them are not strong. That’s why they let these women act as a Madam’s policy to scout for any useful information for men.”

“And your man is so strong. You don’t have to learn to be well-rounded like this, and I don’t need you to be like this either. I just like your simple and innocent appearance. Just continue to maintain it.”

Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything. The blow just now wasn’t small. No one would think too much about the topic just now. It was obviously very simple, but there were actually so many twists and turns.

For the first time, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that whether it was people like Liu Yufei or Pei Meimei, it was not just because of their beauty or family background that they could gain a foothold in such a high-class society.

However, so what if she did not know these things? Yan Kuan was right. As long as one was strong enough, it did not matter even if others tried to probe her. When one was strong enough to be bullied by no one, one would naturally be invincible in the world.

However, she didn’t expect Yan Kuan to crush these things and tell her in detail. It seemed that after she told him everything, this man’s way of doing things seemed to have changed. He was willing to teach her.

Ever since they started living in the jungle, this man had liked to teach her this and that. Now, he was also starting to teach her about these family relationships. For a moment, she was a little touched.

“Alright, there’s no need to be unhappy. Let’s go. I’ll bring you around. Perhaps you’ll even be able to see your good ‘family’!

Yan Kuan’s words caused Shen Xiaoxiao to perk up once more. Her battlefield had never been one of these women’s petty schemes. Her battlefield was not limited to this.

Such a gathering gathered almost all the second-rate and first-rate aristocratic families in the capital. Naturally, there would be people from the Pei and Liu families attending. However, a third-rate family like the Lin family would not come here.

“The Lin family does not have the right to receive such an invitation, but the people from the Pei and Liu families have already arrived.”

“Wait a minute, do you know Hu Han’s identity?”

Yan Kuan was stunned. He did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to suddenly say such a thing.

“His identity? Both his parents are dead, and he started from nothing. He worked as an underling in a foreign hotel for more than ten years. I have checked and there is nothing wrong with it.”

“Oh, is that so? Then he’s quite powerful. He actually started from nothing.”

“Your man, I, started from nothing too. I’m much more powerful than him.”

This man did not forget to flatter her anytime and anywhere. Shen Xiaoxiao turned her eyes away and could not be bothered to look at him. As for Hu Han’s identity, she could only choose a suitable opportunity to remind him. If she revealed it now… She could not explain how she knew all of this.

Just as the two of them were strolling into the distance, a female voice sounded behind them. This voice made Yan Kuan’s aura instantly turn ice-cold, and his killing intent shot out in all directions.

“President Yan, so you’ve returned to the country?”
