Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Are You the Orphan Adopted by the Fu Family?

Su Wanxin tilted her head to meet Shen Wenguang’s gaze, smiled slightly, and stepped inside. "Hello, President Shen, I am Su Wanxin."

Chen Lei looked towards Su Yan and ordered in a calm voice, "You can leave now, go back to work."

Su Yan nodded and responded, "Okay," then sneaked a glance at Shen Wenguang and turned to leave. However, as he left, he deliberately didn’t close the door, fearing that Shen Wenguang might make things hard for Su Wanxin.

The door remained open, perhaps this old man would restrain himself a bit?

Shen Wenguang’s attention was continuously on Su Wanxin; he observed her coldly, feeling puzzled.

Many years ago, he had heard that the Fu Family had adopted an orphan from the orphanage, but he never had a chance to meet her. Later, he heard that the orphan was ungrateful, had run off after hitting and breaking the legs of Fu Shihan’s mother with a car.

But now, after several years, she suddenly reappears; what’s the reason?

Moreover, according to Chenchen, she has been back for over a month now, and still, there haven’t been any big moves from the Fu Family.

The people of the Fu Family are not ones to let a grudge go unaddressed; they haven’t troubled Su Wanxin yet, what are they waiting for?

Shen Wenguang’s gaze landed on Su Wanxin’s face. Seeing her standing there, boldly meeting his gaze without any signs of fear, he smiled and asked,

"Are you that orphan adopted by the Fu Family?"

His abrupt opening remark left Chen Lei stunned alongside.

What orphan? Adopted by whose family?

"President Shen, you surely didn’t make a trip here just to ask me that," said Su Wanxin with a light, charming smile, her voice soft, sounding non-confrontational, yet her words did not show any timidity.

Shen Wenguang’s eyes darkened, "You ill-mannered thing, is this how your parents taught you to speak to your elders?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Su Wanxin’s smile faded, and the remaining smirk on her lips looked particularly mocking.

He was being quite blunt in indicating that she was an unruly orphan, what good attitude did he expect from her?

First meeting, first sentence, and he asks if she is an orphan.

Su Wanxin had originally thought that, as the president of ST, his demeanor and magnanimity would be entirely different from his petty daughter. Now it seems, like father like daughter indeed.

Shen Wenguang apparently was not used to being contradicted. Usually in high positions, surrounded by nothing but sycophants, he swiftly became angry when questioned this way by a junior.

It seems Chenchen was right; this Su Wanxin really is an ungrateful and extremely cunning woman. Ill-mannered, lacking etiquette, only capable of seducing and enchanting men!

For a moment, the temperature in the room seemed to freeze, as the atmosphere dropped to an icy low.

Chen Lei stood aside awkwardly, wanting to say something to ease the tension but not knowing what to say.

Oh, Su Wanxin! Could she be a bit more polite in her speech! She really dares to offend anyone!

And what’s with this Shen Wenguang? What does he really want? Why are his words so unpleasant?

"Did I hear that you and my daughter are friends?"

In the tense silence, Shen Wenguang spoke again, finally breaking the quiet, making Chen Lei secretly sigh with relief.

Su Wanxin smiled and shook her head, unsure of where he heard such unreliable rumors. "No, my relationship with Miss Shen is quite ordinary; we’ve only met a few times."

"Met a few times and you dared to bully her?" Shen Wenguang scoffed, standing up. "I heard that you’ve seen her twice and hit her twice. I want to hear your explanation."
