Chapter 176: Mr. Hodward, Do You Know Su Wanxin?

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Mr. Hodward, Do You Know Su Wanxin?

Her actions puzzled many of the onlookers.

Was her purpose for coming here also to meet Hodward? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Upon seeing the direction Su Wanxin was heading, Shen Xiaochen furrowed her brows and stepped forward to stop her.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Good dogs don’t block the way."

Su Wanxin, expressionless, uttered a few words, especially irritating. Her gaze passed Shen Xiaochen and fell on Hodward.

Hodward happened to look this way too, their gazes clashing across the space. Su Wanxin smiled and nodded, as a way of greeting first.

"Step aside, considering you and your second senior brother are about to get engaged, I won’t spoil your event today. I’ll go have a word or two and then leave."

Su Wanxin withdrew her gaze and turned to Shen Xiaochen, speaking amiably.

"Have a word? With whom?" Shen Xiaochen still blocked her way. "Su Wanxin, do you really think you’re someone significant? After clinging to Fu Shihan, now you turn to Hodward? Do you think you’re a plaster, sticking to whoever you see?"

"After Fu Shihan, now looking at Ding Kai Ze, what does your heart feel?"

"...You!"

Su Wanxin evaded the question. It would have been fine if Shen Xiaochen hadn’t mentioned Fu Shihan, but mentioning him made Shen Xiaochen’s eyes turn red with anger.

"Ding Kai Ze is here, quick, smile, so many people are watching!"

Shen Xiaochen reflexively turned to look, her lips curling slightly. But there was no one behind her, nobody at all.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Su Wanxin successfully escaped her entanglement and hurried towards Hodward. Shen Wenguang and Ding Kai Ze were initially planning to stop her again, but then they heard Hodward say—

"Wanxin, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Su Wanxin smiled and hugged him, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"It depends on how things progress." Hodward looked at her solemnly, "Have you decided yet?"

"Not yet." Su Wanxin hesitated and shook her head, "I’m here today on behalf of Christian; when he returns, we’ll have dinner together and discuss it then?"

"Alright, we’ll talk then."

Christian is Fu Shihan’s English name, but it isn’t exclusive to him, so their conversation left the bystanders utterly confused.

Who is Christian? They seem to be quite familiar with each other?

Su Wanxin casually chatted with Hodward for a while, fulfilling the task entrusted by Fu Shihan. She then made plans with him for dinner another day, and feeling it was about time, she turned and left.

In fact, Hodward’s main purpose today was to meet Fu Shihan, and since he hadn’t shown up, and Su Wanxin had left, he decided to wrap things up quickly and head back to the hotel to rest.

The faces of the Shen father and daughter were quite unsightly; they hadn’t expected Su Wanxin to know Hodward. Logically, these two shouldn’t have much interaction; how did they know each other?

A lightbulb went off in Shen Xiaochen’s head, recalling the competition Su Wanxin attended a few days ago, organized by several securities companies. Both Fu Shihan and Hodward appeared at the competition; perhaps it was Fu Shihan who introduced them?

Given Fu Shihan’s extensive network, it wasn’t strange to meet anyone through him. With that thought, Shen Xiaochen felt even more jealous.

"Mr. Hodward, do you know Su Wanxin?"

Finally, someone voiced everyone’s curiosity. Hodward turned to the person asking and smiled while nodding. "Is it strange?"

The questioner awkwardly shook his head, "No, just thinking it’s impressive for a young woman like her to know you."

"She is quite impressive, indeed," Hodward seriously replied. "I’ve known her for a long time."
