Chapter 359: Chapter 252: First Encounter with Shen_2

This is none other than Shangguan Nanxian’s influential figure.

Even those who do not recognize Lin Ke know that with a Diamond VIP Card for this place, he must hold an extraordinary status, and yet he is treating Tang Xi this way?

It was truly shocking to them, Tang Xi?? Isn’t she just a country bumpkin?

Lin Ke glanced at Tangtang, and his tone softened when speaking to the child, "Miss Tang, your daughter is very cute."

"Tangtang, this is Uncle Lin."

Tangtang’s lips were still smeared with a bit of sauce, her eyes wide open as she said in a milky voice, "Hello, uncle."

"Hello little friend. Uncle didn’t mean to disturb your meal. How about this—I will make a call to Miss Shangguan to explain the situation here." As he spoke, Lin Ke took out his mobile phone and dialed Shangguan Nanxian’s number. Tang Xi had intended to stop him, "Assistant Lin, there’s no need... We have almost finished eating."

But Lin Ke had already dialed the number and explained the situation.

After hanging up, Lin Ke glanced at Su Ya, "Miss Shangguan invited partners to dine here today. Originally, we hoped you would free up this banquet hall. However, since Miss Tang is a friend of Miss Shangguan, we wanted to show Miss Tang respect. So, it’s no bother, you all continue your meal. Sorry for the disturbance."

Lin Ke spoke formally, then said to Tang Xi in a gentle voice, "I will take my leave then. Miss Shangguan mentioned if there’s anything, you can call me, and I will arrange it for you."

After expressing thanks, Tang Xi watched Lin Ke depart, and everyone in the private room looked at her differently.

The man just now, he didn’t even care about Su Ya’s pride, yet he showed so much respect to Tang Xi.

Who exactly is Tang Xi?

Chen Xuezhen, regretting her previous sarcastic jeering at Tang Xi, was afraid she had offended her. Having thick skin, Chen Xuezhen immediately started smiling obsequiously at Tang Xi, "Little Tang, I was just joking with you just now. Don’t take it to heart, huh."

Su Ya couldn’t keep face any longer, Lin Ke hadn’t shown her any respect. Moreover, they were only allowed to remain in this private room because of Tang Xi. The parents who had been showering Su Ya with praise were now ingratiating themselves with Tang Xi.

This made Su Ya both angry and jealous, but with no firm ground to stand on, she didn’t dare to outright offend Tang Xi.

"Little Tang, come on, let’s have a drink together. Let’s put all these unpleasant things behind us. I’m direct and don’t like beating around the bush. Let’s be friends, and if you ever need anything, I, Su Ya, will definitely help you," said Su Ya as she stood up and walked over with a glass of wine in hand.

Tang Xi had no choice but to take a sip.

She had merely wanted to spend a calm afternoon; enduring was fine. She hadn’t expected to unexpectedly encounter Lin Ke.

She had no intention of flaunting her association, but clearly, these parents, especially Su Ya, saw her as a valuable connection.

"Little Tang, how did you get to know Assistant Lin? From the sound of it, you seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Nanxian too," said Su Ya, edging Fang Xin away from her seat next to Tang Xi, sitting closely and chatting warmly with Tang Xi.

"I’m not well-acquainted with Assistant Lin Ke."

Tang Xi kept it simple, suggesting she had no special relationship with Shangguan Nanxian or Lin Ke.

But Su Ya and Chen Xuezhen didn’t believe it.

Su Ya kept sucking up to Tang Xi, even making a few digs at Chen Xuezhen.

Chen Xuezhen now regretted provoking Tang Xi and quickly signaled her son to play more with Tangtang.

"Tangtang, is this chocolate tasty? I have another box at home. I’ll ask Huaiyu to bring it to school the day after tomorrow for you."

An Huaiyu didn’t understand these adult matters. He considered Tangtang a friend, but in a child’s heart, that didn’t mean he had to share all his treats with her. In An Huaiyu’s view, he had already given Tangtang a box of chocolates, and even got scolded by his mom for it; just a few minutes later his mother wore a different face, leaving the little boy quite befuddled.

"Mom, why give more? Didn’t we already give? It’s all given to Tangtang, what will I eat?"

Chen Xuezhen felt her child’s naivety was killing her, "You kid, so clueless!"

Today Shangguan Nanxian had invited Shen Qinglin to lunch, and without the ’Snow Bamboo’ hall available, she immediately had the owner of this place rearrange another banquet hall.

Shen Qinglin isn’t someone who covets lavishness; she has no special requirement for the place of dining. She came here just to give face to Shangguan Nanxian for a lunch together.

But upon hearing that Tang Xi, the designer of ’Fluttering Skirt,’ was also here, Shen Qinglin became curious.

"Oh, she’s here too? I am actually quite interested in meeting her."

Immediately, Shangguan Nanxian instructed Lin Ke, "Go to the Snow Bamboo hall, ask Tang Xi if she could come over, tell her there’s a VIP who wants to meet her."

Lin Ke returned to the Snow Bamboo and had the waiter serve them an Italian set meal. When the waiter, under the astonished gazes of everyone, gave the meal, he said quietly, "This set meal is sent by Mr. Lin Ke, hoping you enjoy your meal."

Su Ya quickly stood up, her face blossoming with smiles, "Thank you, Assistant Lin. May I know what brings you here?"

Lin Ke ignored her, walking straight to Tang Xi, "Miss Tang, my mistress has requested your presence, and there’s a distinguished guest who wishes to meet you."

Tang Xi didn’t refuse; after all, they had just helped her. She stood up, told Tangtang to eat obediently in her absence, and asked Fang Xin to look after her daughter, then followed Lin Ke out.

Once she left, the private room erupted into chatter.

"What exactly is Tang Xi’s background?"

"Shangguan Nanxian wants to meet her and even had his senior assistant Lin Ke invite her personally."

"This private room is for Diamond VIPs only; Su Ya couldn’t manage it, but Tang Xi settled it the moment she appeared. Dressed like a plain country bumpkin, how could she have such formidable connections? Or is she some rich tycoon’s daughter or a gambling king’s mistress here to experience a different life?"
