My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 541
Chapter 541: The Way They Met One Another Was Too Sudden
Both girls were at a loss for words. They could not believe that Yin Shuiling would say these words aloud.
How did Yin Shuiling three years ago look?
She was pure and innocent, and she looked like an angel that did not belong on earth.
But now, she said the words, “No man is willing to destroy you,” so easily.
She changed!
Yin Shuiling coldly scanned both girls’ faces. She was confident and casual as she turned around and left, leaving both girls with her extremely elegant and haughty back profile.
Both girls: “…”
Lin Xuemei took some documents and handed them over to Yin Shuiling before she smiled and said, “Shuiling, those two girls just now were too mean. Your words made them so angry that their faces turned green. Shuiling, that was great.”
Yin Shuiling smiled for a moment but did not say a single word.
Nobody could see the deep sense of sadness hidden in the bottom of her eyes.
She stood at the side of the road as she flagged a taxi. She bid farewell to Lin Xuemei. “Xuemei, I have to take care of something. I have to go. We will chat again.”
“Okay okay.” Lin Xuemei nodded her head and sent Yin Shuiling off with her gaze.
…
Yin Shuiling rushed over to Dream Comic Studio.
The animation studio was in the middle of the city, on the 13th floor of a commercial building, so when she entered the building, the receptionist of the building escorted her up.
She stepped out of the lift, and the receptionist politely pointed towards an office in front of her. “Miss Yin, the scriptwriting department of Dream Comic Studio is right in front. Main Editor Pudding is inside.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“No problem.” The receptionist left.
Yin Shuiling walked along the corridor. She had just taken two steps when she turned her gaze sideways to look through a meeting room that was made entirely out of glass. The label on the door indicated that it was used exclusively by VIPs, so this meeting room was probably used by the owner of the building to host his distinguished guests.
Looking through the shiny glass windows, she could see everything happening inside the meeting room extremely clearly.
The hall was adorned with luxurious black and white décor. Men dressed in smart suits were seated in leather seats. They crossed their legs and held cigarettes in their mouths. The entire room was filled with smoke. It was a meeting between many senior presidents.
There was one person among them. He sat in the chairman’s position, and Yin Shuiling saw him on the first glance.
But Yin Shuiling did not think that they would meet each other that quickly, and she was at a complete loss.
It was Yin Muchen.
He was dressed in a black shirt with black trousers. His fashionable curls were all snipped away, and he had a cold, hard, short style. After all, he was 31 years old now.
His former casualness and chill did not seem to exist anymore. Among those senior presidents, he was elegant and mighty as he crossed his long legs together. He would occasionally exhale a mouthful of smoke, and his manner of speech was calm and respected among the crowd.
In her direction, she could see half of his side profile. He was still handsome, but the difference between a 31 year old handsome man, and a 25 year old handsome man… He made women turn red in the face with his handsome face when he was 25 years old, and now, the 31 year old version of him made women feel captivated.
Yin Shuiling stood in place as she watched him mingle among the crowd. She watched him stand in the centre of the group, seeing him gain respect among the crowd.
“Rubus Coronarius?”
A voice rang out in her ears. Yin Shuiling turned her gaze back to have a look. It was a woman in her 30s. She had a friendly smile on her face as she walked over.
Yin Shuiling quickly smiled, “Pudding?”
“Yes, Rubus Coronarius… Rubus Coronarius, how are you? Let me give you a hug.” Pudding was excited as she gave Yin Shuiling a hug. “You are a miracle in our comic studio, I finally have the chance to meet you in person today. You are so beautiful.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“Rubus Coronarius, let’s go. I will give you a tour of the studio…” As she spoke, Pudding had a glance at the VIP room, and said, “Rubus Coronarius, I saw you staring at that meeting room just now. The people inside the meeting room are the big shots in T City. We would not be able to see them normally. Oh, President Zheng of our comic studio is also inside. Do you have someone that you know inside?”
Yin Shuiling shook her head and said, “No, I don’t know anyone.”
“Okay, then let’s go.”
Yin Shuiling followed Pudding as they left.
…
Inside the meeting room
“President Yin, President Yin…” A senior president was calling out to Yin Muchen.
Yin Muchen regained his senses and turned his gaze towards that person.
The senior president cast his gaze downwards, and the moment he had a look, he saw his cigarette had burnt till the end, and the red end of the cigarette had already burnt his fingers.
His face was expressionless as if he did not feel any pain. He lifted his hand up and stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray beside him before he slowly flicked off the ashes that had landed on his trousers.
“President Yin, what is wrong with you today? You seem to have something on your mind. Why don’t you tell us what is inside your heart, let us see if we can help you out with your troubles.”
“That’s right…” Everyone agreed.
Yin Muchen lifted his eyebrows up as he laughed before he casually answered, “I am thinking of a woman.”
The moment he said those words. The senior presidents all broke out into laughter. “President Yin, you must be joking. With your status, as long as the woman is interested in you, there is no need for you to take the initiative at all. Who is this woman? President Yin should let us know who it is. We will bathe her and send her to your bed, haha.”
Everyone was laughing, and Yin Muchen also broke out into brief laughter for a while, but he did not say a single word.
At this moment, President Zheng of the comic studio stood up. He was apologetic as he looked at Yin Muchen. “President Yin, there is a distinguished guest at our comic studio today. We have a dinner gathering. I have to go attend.”
President Zheng really did not have much power among these people. He also did not know why he was invited over today. He knew he did not have the status to be at this event.
The senior presidents present also did not try to persuade him to stay. They only politely said, “Okay, President Zheng, have a nice dinner.”
President Zheng prepared to leave.
“President Zheng, please hold on for a moment.” Yin Muchen stopped him.
President Zheng was puzzled as he turned his head back to have a look. “President Yin, what orders do you have?”
Yin Muchen stood up, and said, “I don’t have any orders, but I heard that you were going for a dinner gathering just now. I am also hungry, I don’t know if you would mind if I grab a free meal?”
The senior presidents present including President Zheng froze on the spot.
…
Yin Shuiling settled the documents. She walked out of the comic studio with Pudding. There was a group of scriptwriters from the comic studio behind them, and everyone was very excited as they looked at Yin Shuiling.
Yin Shuiling and Pudding headed in the direction of the elevator. The two walked with one another as they chatted. “Rubus Coronarius, the comic studio has already reserved a private room in the hotel to welcome you today. Let’s go and have dinner now.”
If she rejected them at this moment, it would be extremely rude. Furthermore, it was the time for dinner right now, and she had to eat, so Yin Shuiling nodded her head. “Then I will go along.”
Pudding was very enthusiastic. She looked at Yin Shuiling a few more times as she emotionally exclaimed, “Why are the Heavens so unfair? Rubus Coronarius, you possess talent, and I did not expect you to be so beautiful. I am really so curious; where did you develop your artistic talent?”
This question…
Yin Shuiling’s defined eyes a moment of blurriness. When she was young, she was extremely talented in multiple aspects. She was good at everything, and after that, she leaned towards art because…
“When I was very very young, I liked an older boy. After that, he left me and went to America. He rarely came back to visit me, I was afraid that I would forget him, so I worked hard to draw him and used all of my efforts to draw.”
“Wow, it sounds so romantic, then Rubus Coronarius, are you together with that boy now?”
Yin Shuiling had a smile on her face while she shook her head. “No…”
“Why?” Pudding was curious.
Yin Shuiling looked at the red buttons of the lift that were pointing up and down. She curled the corners of her lips as she smiled. Her voice was very soft as she said, “Because, love is very bitter… So, I do not love him anymore.”
Pudding felt that it was such a pity, but she also knew that this topic would be touching someone else’s sorrow, so she changed to another light hearted subject. “Rubus Coronarius, I heard that you are an exchange student of S University. Are you still preparing to go back to England?”
“Yeah.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head and continued, “I will go back. The exchange period is three months long. I will leave after three months.”
Pudding still wanted to continue chatting, but at this moment, a voice rang out behind her. “Pudding.”
Pudding turned around and loudly exclaimed, “President Zheng! President Zheng. Let me introduce you to her formally. This is Rubus Coronarius here. Rubus Coronarius, this person is President Zheng of our comic studio, our big boss.”
Yin Shuiling had a glance at President Zheng, she had a smile on her face as she politely said, “President Zheng, how are you?” After that, she looked at the man behind President Zheng who was slowly walking over, Yin Muchen.
She stood there and did not look at his figure in close detail, and now, when she had a proper look, the man was even taller and more handsome. The 31 year old man was strong and firm as he stood up straight. There was a melancholic masculine aura to him, and he looked extremely stunning.
Hu Ya stood behind him, and Yin Muchen walked over to President Liu’s side. His dark eyes stopped on Yin Shuiling’s small face.
Yin Shuiling had long known that this day would come. She did not back away, and she only followed what she rehearsed in the mirror numerous times before. She looked at the man’s defined and handsome face before lifting the corners of her lips into a bright smile. “Older Brother.”
Yin Muchen had both of his hands in his pockets. He did not move his eyebrows, but his gaze brushed over her soft lips, and the colour in his eyes darkened slightly. He calmly nodded his head before he said, “You are back already?”
“Yeah.”
Upon hearing her call him Older Brother, Pudding was taken aback. “What? Rubus Coronarius, you are President Yin’s younger sister? Then when I asked you if there was anyone that you knew inside the meeting room, you said you did not have, you…”
President Zheng coughed quickly and gave an indication to Pudding with his gaze. He laughed awkwardly and said, “Haha, this is our scriptwriter Pudding. She is new, and does not know the situation too well. Rubus Coronarius, oh no, Miss Yin, I did not think that you would be our famed member of our comic studio. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Actually just now, President Zheng recognized Yin Shuiling at first sight, but he did not dare to confirm it. He’d also heard some things about what had happened three years ago. No wonder Yin Shuiling was unwilling to admit that she knew Yin Muchen.
Who could take it when they had grievances that lead to the death of a family member?
President Zheng laughed and said, “Rubus Coronarius, we are going to a hotel to have dinner. Just now, I had the pleasure of inviting President Yin over to accompany us. It is such a coincidence. You siblings can have a chance to chat with one another.”
They had to have a meal together…
Yin Shuiling looked at Yin Muchen. The man also looked over at her. “Of course,” she said with a laugh.
The crowd entered the lift, and Pudding asked, “President Zheng, when did you arrive behind us just now? You gave me a big shock.”
“You were chatting way too happily with Rubus Coronarius just now. We arrived a long time ago.”
They came a long time ago?
In her heart, Yin Shuiling thought, then, wouldn’t he have heard everything that she said?
….
There were many people inside the lift. It was slightly crowded, and she did not know whether everyone was doing it on purpose. They all stood towards one side, and she could only stand by Yin Muchen.
The elevator went down with President Zheng and Pudding conversing with one another.
Yin Shuiling tried hard to ignore the man beside her while maintaining her silence.
