Chapter 316: Had Made a Promise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Ni smiled. She still felt that she needed to work harder.

Although her younger brother was the only male in the Xue family, because she and her younger brother were illegitimate children, they were not valued in the Xue family.

Even Xue Le’s role in the Xue family’s company was only as a small manager. All the power was in the hands of the eldest daughter of the Xue family.

Xue Ni was so angry that she had decided to build her career and help her younger brother gain a foothold in the Xue family.

Her initial plan was to marry Shi Mo, but she had not expected Shi Mo to have found a girlfriend recently.

Thinking that she would be able to meet Fang Mo’er later, Xue Ni was filled with anger. She would definitely not be inferior to her later.

“Oh right, will Young Master Shi really be coming today? He hasn’t participated in our gatherings for a long time.”

“Xue Ni said that he would definitely come if she came back. This is something worth believing.”

“That’s right. When we were young, everyone thought that Xue Ni and Young Master Shi were a couple. Young Master Shi even made Xue Ni a promise. No matter what request Xue Ni made, he would try his best to fulfill it.”

“Ah, I remember now. Such a thing really did happen.”

Xue Ni’s pretty face instantly turned red, and Xue Lei’s face immediately became smug.

When they were young, they had been neighbors, and they had often played together. Once, Shi Mo had fallen into the snow and fainted, almost freezing to death. It was Xue Ni who had discovered him and called Xue Lei to help.

The two of them had sent Shi Mo to the hospital together. When Shi Mo woke up, he had made a promise to Xue Ni.

However, so much time had passed and Xue Ni had never mentioned it.

The two of them had been able to return to the Xue family, but Shi Mo had been the one who had helped them so that they would not be bullied too much in the Xue family.

As they were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open. Everyone held their breaths and subconsciously looked towards the door. As they were speaking of the devil, the devil had arrived.

As expected, the person who entered was dressed in a high-end suit. His footsteps were steady as he made an appearance after such a long time.

However, what surprised everyone was that Shi Mo was actually holding a woman’s hand. The woman had delicate features and her face was flushed red. Her every move made people unable to take their eyes off her. She was Fang Mo’er, who had recently announced her relationship with Shi Mo.

Many people had thought that Shi Mo had just been fooling around in the entertainment industry and had learned to form a fake relationship to create hype.

They had not expected to see the two of them together in private.

When Fang Mo’er entered, she smiled politely at the crowd. She glanced around and noticed the most beautifully dressed woman in the crowd. The moment the woman saw them, she stood up nervously. Her exquisite dress was revealed, showing off her voluptuous figure.

When Fang Mo’er saw such a woman, she could not help but whistle.

Fang Mo’er did not feel that there was anything wrong with the woman staring at Shi Mo. All the women present were attracted by Shi Mo’er’s charm.

All of them looked at Shi Mo with joy.

Wasn’t this normal?

“Young Master Shi, who is this?” A young master asked with a wink.

Shi Mo led Fang Mo’er to the empty seat in the middle and sat down. Only then did he let go of Fang Mo’er’s hand and lazily leaned against the back of the chair. He gave a sly smile and said, “Call her sister-in-law.”

Instantly, the entire hall was in an uproar.

Was Shi Mo being serious?

It was not that Shi Mo had never brought a female companion along before, but he had never been this serious before.

Xue Ni clenched her fists and Xue Lei frowned as well. He knew that his sister had liked Shi Mo since she was young, but now…

Xue Lei had originally been sitting on Shi Mo’s right, but Xue Lei deliberately stood up to pour wine and gave up his seat to Xue Ni.

The other women in attendance wanted to get closer, but they did not have the right. They could only look in Shi Mo’s direction with eagerness.

Which woman would not be moved by the sight of Shi Mo, one of the top business prodigies in the entire Capital?

Yet, he was actually in a public relationship with a starlet. Who knew just how many socialites would vomit blood in anger over that?
