Chapter 793 Xia Weibao, I Want to Break Off Our Friendship!
Could it really be that Zhong Wanshu thought her daughter was dead, so she arranged for Lu Hualiang to be betrothed to someone else?
Yan Lingyi felt somewhat uncomfortable at this possibility.
Her daughter was only lost, not dead.
Forget it, she didn’t care for this marriage arrangement anyway!
After some idle chatter, Xia Weibao needed to return to work, and only then did Yan Lingyi leave reluctantly.
Before leaving, she apologized to Xia Weibao once again, though it was unclear whether the apology was on behalf of Yan Weiyang or for herself.
Since the other party had personally come to visit, Xia Weibao naturally wouldn’t hold a grudge.
As long as Yan Weiyang didn’t come to bother her again, it was fine. If she dared to provoke her, Xia Weibao wasn’t someone to be trifled with!
When she got back to Leng Yan’s office, Xia Shi and Leng Yan had already returned.
Leng Yan was still sprawled listlessly across the desk. Ever since Xu Jiayang had left without a word, he had been unable to lift his spirits.
He always felt he had done something wrong that caused Xu Jiayang to stay away for so long.
But he couldn’t remember offending him in any way.
So he was in quite a dilemma.
He kept calling Xu Jiayang, asking when he would return. If he didn’t come back soon, Leng Yan was going to starve to death; nobody was at home to cook.
Xia Weibao had no interest in dealing with the everyday absurdities of Leng Yan.
Instead, she checked the procedures for the charity event and a few brand activities.
Ever since she won the Double Best Actress award, her value had increased significantly. Not taking on engagements didn’t mean there were none available.
It was just that Xia Shi was holding out for a higher offer, which was why they were not accepted.
The original plan was to wait until she secured the title of the number one beauty of the entertainment circle before accepting any. However, Weiyang’s aggressive approach meant that not taking a few engagements to increase Xia Weibao’s exposure would probably make it difficult to secure the top beauty title.
After much deliberation, Xia Shi accepted some charity events with good reputations for her.
These would not only increase exposure but also help to enhance her image.
After sorting out the paperwork, Xia Shi realized she had come back.
"Baby, you know Lady Lingyi?"
The moment he heard the four words "Lady Lingyi", Leng Yan was like injected with chicken blood, almost leaping toward her.
"What? Xia Weibao, you know Lady Lingyi?"
Xia Weibao frowned at the excited Leng Yan rushing over.
That expression was almost like a fan seeing their idol.
Just less manic and more respectful.
She pushed Leng Yan away with one hand and then turned to Xia Shi, "Not close, what’s up?"
"Nothing, just saw her coming to look for you for lunch, so I asked."
"Holy shit, Lady Lingyi came to have lunch with you, and you... you didn’t even call me!" Leng Yan jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, pointing at Xia Weibao with an air of thundering wrath.
That’s just too fucking unfair!
Having a secret lunch with Lady Lingyi and not inviting him, wow!
"Xia Weibao, I’m going to sever ties with you!"
Xia Weibao, "..."
With a full head of black lines, "Boss, why are you so agitated."
"How can I not be, Lady Lingyi is my idol!"
Xia Weibao’s eyes widened, "Really?"
"What do you mean, really? Lady Lingyi, that’s Lady Lingyi, for goodness’ sake, the whole of Hua Country admires her!"
Xia Weibao blinked innocently, could she say that she doesn’t admire her?
Her knowledge of Yan Lingyi was limited to the fact she was the only female President of Huaxia.
Although becoming President as a woman was impressive, she had been a divine doctor in her previous life, almost became the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, and finally became the Empress.
So in her eyes, being President really wasn’t all that special.
"Is Lady Lingyi very impressive?" Xia Weibao asked.
