Chapter 63 He Lin's Support for Shen Wancheng

Shen Wancheng also looked at Gu Jinxing, their eyes met, and Shen Wancheng's eyes were full of amusement.

"This whole thing started because Xu Zixian spoke rudely to my sister. Now that she has apologized, we accept it. We hope her apology was sincere and not forced. After all, the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families is not something a nobody like me can influence."

The middle-aged man who had just kicked Xu Zi to kneel down and apologize was so angry at Shen Wancheng that he gritted his teeth.

You call yourself a nobody?

Could his business, worth over 100 million yuan, be ruined by a "small fry"?

The middle-aged man was actually quite puzzled. What abilities did Xu Pingtao's newly recognized granddaughter have that could garner such support from Gu Jinxing, a rising star known for his ruthless methods?

The middle-aged man stared at Shen Wancheng and asked, "Miss Shen, do you feel this explanation is not enough?"

"Mr. Xu, I've made myself very clear. We accept Xu Zi's apology."

Shen Wancheng understood that this Mr. Xu wanted her to say a few words of advice to reconcile the matter of the termination of the cooperation between Xu and Gu, which Gu Jinxing had just mentioned.

But if Shen Wancheng said this, it would mean that she acknowledged and accepted Gu Jinxing's help in saving face by offering Gu Xu's exorbitant cooperation deal.

Shen Wancheng was unwilling to accept it.

Whose face is worth hundreds of millions?

She wouldn't get a penny if she accepted, but Xu Zi apologized even if she didn't accept, so she wouldn't lose anything.

As for the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families, what does it have to do with her whether it succeeds or not? How does she know if Gu Jinxing already has a new partner and wants to get rid of the Xu family?

Since she wasn't going to take the ball, she decided to let Gu Jinxing kick it himself.

Anyway, he's not really lame.

The middle-aged man could tell at a glance that Shen Wancheng was pretending to be stupid. If he still treated this young girl like a child, then he had wasted his time in the business world.

But what could he do? Since they didn't acknowledge that Gu Jinxing had terminated the cooperation because of her, he could only continue to ask Gu Jinxing.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Seeing that Shen Wancheng was not grateful, Gu Jinxing did not press her.

He discovered that this woman was not only impervious to reason, but also very intelligent, and that forcing her to be grateful would only backfire.

Gu Jinxing said coldly, "Let's talk about it later."

Gu Jinxing meant that they should talk about it another day.

Although no indication of easing tensions was given, there is at least a chance for things to turn around.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu was afraid that staying here would cause more trouble, and that staying would only make him a laughing stock among the Hong Kong celebrities present, so he decided to leave first.

He grabbed Xu Zi's arm, who was still crying, with one hand and pulled her up.

"Let's go, we've made a fool of ourselves."

After the middle-aged man left with Xu Zi, everyone's eyes darted back and forth between Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing, with gossipy expressions on their faces.

He Lin, who had been watching the show without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.

"Tuantuan, Nannan, come with me to the lounge. There are too many people, and my head hurts."

"it is good."

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao went to He Lin's side, each supporting one of her sides as they walked towards the lounge.

Xu Pingtao then stepped forward to greet Gu Jinxing and some other important figures who had come to the banquet, expressing his apologies to them for the farce that had just occurred.

As the parties involved dispersed, various discussions arose in the banquet hall.

Who was the person who just called out to those two lucky people?

"That's Mr. Xu's wife, a legitimate member of the He family, the only eldest daughter of the He family, He Lin."

"Didn't they say she'd been sick for a long time and didn't recognize anyone?"

"Whether she acknowledges someone else or not is not important. What matters is that He Lin genuinely likes that Miss Shen. Did you notice the dress that Miss Shen is wearing?"

"With such a spectacular scene just now, who even noticed what Miss Shen was wearing? It wasn't a formal dress, was it? Could it be something the Queen of Britain wore?"

"Hehe, that's what you don't understand. Although that dress wasn't worn by the Queen, it was a gift from the Queen to Miss He decades ago when Mrs. Xu was still the daughter of the He family and became the first person in Hong Kong to be eligible to participate in the World Debutante Ceremony."

(The actual Paris Debutante Ball was revived in 1992; this is just the author's personal interpretation.)

"Such a precious dress, Mrs. Xu just gave it to Miss Shen like that? Doesn't this mean that Mrs. Xu, as a member of the He family, has also acknowledged Miss Shen's status?"

"That's exactly the point."

"Hey? Did you guys notice? Mr. Gu can see today. Weren't there rumors that he was blind?"

"You know what, I've noticed it too. Their eyes can go blind one minute and come back to see the next. Who knows, they might even be able to stand up again someday."

"Hmm, Mr. Gu is still the same eligible bachelor everyone wanted to snag. Are you thinking of letting your daughter give it a try again?"

"Go away, you're only talking about me. If you had a daughter of marriageable age, wouldn't you want to give it a try?"

"If it were before, I would have liked to adopt a goddaughter if I didn't have a daughter of marriageable age. But let's forget about it now. Today, Mr. Gu's special treatment of Miss Shen, can't any of you see what's going on?"

"I really can't see it. Even if Miss Shen becomes Xu Pingtao's granddaughter, what does it have to do with the Gu family? The Gu and Xu families have the fewest business dealings among them."

"Couldn't Mr. Gu simply be interested in Miss Shen?"

"Tch, in our circle, you still believe in love?"

Shen Wancheng was completely unaware of the discussions in the banquet hall; she accompanied He Lin to the lounge.

He Lin couldn't stop praising Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.

"It's good to be young. Looking at you reminds me of when I was young. I was just like you, unable to stand the slightest bit of anger."

Shen Yao chimed in, "Really? Grandma, tell us about your great achievements back then."

"When I was young, I couldn't stay still either. I'd go to... oh?... what did I go to do again?"

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao exchanged a glance before realizing that He Lin had Alzheimer's disease and her memory was confused. Forcing her to recall past events would easily agitate her.

"What you do is not important; what is important is that Yao Yao showed the charm of your youth."

"Haha, you're right, girl. You did well today too. You're smart, just like your grandpa."

The grandfather He Lin is referring to is Xu Pingtao.

Shen Wancheng thought to herself, she didn't want to be like Xu Pingtao, suffering the misfortune of being childless in her old age. She didn't want any of that.

However, considering that Xu Pingtao stood firmly on her and Shen Yao's side today, and that He Lin's public call for the sisters to leave was also a form of expression, Shen Wancheng still remembered this kindness.

Shen Wancheng said sincerely, "Thank you, Grandma."

He Lin took Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao's hands together and held them in hers.

"I'm happy as long as you're all doing well."
