set fire to his heart

Their excited reactions aroused Song Xiya's curiosity.

As their eyes turned, Song Xiya looked at the entrance and exit of the banquet hall, and saw...

One old and one young walked in from the outside.

The old man was in his 70s, wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, leaning on a cane in his hand, with a serious expression, but his old pupils couldn't hide his smile.

Song Xiya knew him - Shen Yifan's grandfather, Shen Dejiang.

Due to years of illness, he handed over the company to his son and retreated behind the scenes to recuperate.

It's a pity that my son doesn't live up to expectations, doesn't do his job properly, and seeks pleasure.

This also made the Shen family, which was once comparable to the four major families in Beicheng, have long been defeated and become a third-rate family.

Due to his poor health and the failure of his family business, Mr. Shen rarely appeared in public.

But why did he appear at a small exchange meeting today?
The young man next to him is again...

Song Xiya's eyes fixed on him.

The man looked a few years older than her, with light chestnut hair, gold-rimmed glasses, a pair of red phoenix eyes behind the lenses, a straight nose bridge, and red lips.

He was wearing a simple white shirt and gray trousers, with a tall and thin figure.

White and elegant, noble and gentle.

Even though he didn't show any deliberate performance, he seemed to have a magical power that made it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.

"..." Song Xiya swallowed unconsciously.

There were other passers-by at the scene, but they seemed to be mosaiced.

Everything around me is blurred.

He alone is clear.

Song Xiya just stared at him like this, watching him from far to near.

I saw Mr. Shen leading him towards several guests and introducing them: "This is my eldest grandson, Shen Shili. Shili, this is..."

When his identity and name came into his ears.

Song Xiya, who had been in a state of trance, slowly woke up.

At the same time, she heard the whispered discussions of the two female guests again, their gestures were awkward, their tone excited and shy.

"So handsome, so handsome!! This is the charm of the main house!!"

"The rumors don't lie to me. This is the power of genes. As expected, the child from the original marriage is incomparable to Xiaosan!"

Hearing this, Song Xiya came to her senses.

Shen Shili is Shen Yifan's half brother.

Because the father of the two was often promiscuous outside, Yu Jinglan, who was born as a young lady, came to the palace with the newborn Shen Yifan in her arms.

It was originally estimated that he just wanted to extort a sum of money to calm things down.

Unexpectedly, this matter touched the bottom line of the original wife. Despite the dissuasion of the man's family, she insisted on divorcing her husband and asking to take the child away.

In the end, she took half of the property and took her children abroad to start a business, and let Xiaosan take her illegitimate son to the top.

Yu Jinglan's mother became the official wife of the Shen family because of her son.

However, no matter her reputation or the word-of-mouth of the Shen Group, since then began to decline, and never recovered.

Mr. Shen was furious, but unfortunately his physical condition did not allow him to turn things around.

Song Xiya counted the information she knew in her mind.

And the two female guests were not idle, continuing to discuss various things about Shen Shili.

"I heard earlier that after the former Mrs. Shen went abroad, she set up her own family, flourished, and also raised her son to become a talent. The current Mrs. Shen is still not convinced, saying that it is all rumors, but look at him... this extravagance is overwhelming. The appearance of a person!! It's not at the same level as Shen Yifan at all, okay?!"

"I heard that although Mr. Shen agreed with his ex-daughter-in-law to take away his eldest grandson, he was actually afraid that he would be influenced by his father, and he has been paying attention to his growth. He wants him to come back and inherit the Shen Group."

"Yeah, in the final analysis, this is the heir of Shen's Zhenger Bajing! After so many years, Shen's mother and son have been corrupted by Xiaosan. Let's see how they still have the glory of the past?"

"Inviting the eldest grandson back to China and taking him to meet the guests at the scene, the old man's attitude is very obvious."

"Mr. Shen really needs to fight a turnaround now. Although she was defeated before, at least she can still cling to Mr. Su, so it won't be too miserable. But the scandal was exposed last month, and Mr. Su's dissolution of the engagement , Shen's has directly become a joke in the entire North City, and anyone who walks by will have to step on it."

"Shen Yifan didn't show up for today's event, probably because the old man thought he was ashamed, so he recalled his grandson to turn the tide. Shen Shili should be ready to inherit the family business if he agreed to return to China..."

"It's conceivable that she will definitely become a favorite in the circle of ladies in the North City. This looks so good!! I can do it!!"

"I can too!!"

While they were discussing excitedly, Mr. Shen, who introduced Shen Shili all the way, walked towards their direction.

"Come, come, come..."

Following their reminders, Song Xiya raised her eyes and looked forward.

Unbiased, she met Shen Shili's gaze directly, and his pupils behind the lenses were like gentle knives.

Unmistakably pierced her heart.

Song Xiya turned her face in a panic, not daring to keep looking at him.

She has never felt this way.

It was as if someone had taken away her soul, and she couldn't control her mind.

Song Xiya stood where she was, her throat tightened inexplicably.

The heart in the chest beats to the wrong beat unconsciously.

This feeling is too weird.

And the moment Mr. Shen recognized Song Xiya, the smile on his brow disappeared in an instant.

His eyebrows furrowed in displeasure, and he looked around from the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, Su Yining was not seen.

Only then did Mr. Shen heave a sigh of relief, and then politely walked over with Shen Shili.

"This is the daughter of the Song family, Song Xiya."

Mr. Shen introduced to the grandson beside him, and at the same time he did not forget to ask her: "Miss Song, did you come alone?"

His greeting made Song Xiya's body tense, and she was extremely nervous.

She swallowed with difficulty, feeling unsure of how to answer.

The old man Shen's question meant that he hadn't seen Su Yining, and he didn't know if she had come.And Su Yining told her that she was asked to participate in this exchange meeting because he wanted her to help cover up and attract other people's attention.

After weighing it again and again, Song Xiya responded with an ambiguous grunt.

He obviously has a hot-tempered personality, but at this moment he is like an ostrich, wishing he could bury his head in the sand.

Song Xiya lowered her head.

She didn't dare to look at Shen Shili in front of her.

Until, a white and slender hand stretched out to her, and his warm and pleasant voice.

"Ms. Song, hello."

Shen Shili took the initiative to greet her: "I am Shen Shili, please give me more advice in the future."

"..." Song Xiya froze in place.

A heart beat violently, and kept raising it, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"When meeting other guests just now, he didn't even shake hands, he didn't make any physical contact at all!!"

"This is the advantage of the aristocratic family, ahhhhh, I'm so envious!!"

"I really want to shake his hand too, I'm going crazy..."

The female guest whispered excitedly.

After hearing their conversation clearly, Song Xiya forcibly pulled back her thoughts and calmed down.

When she looked up.

Her gaze collided with Shen Shili at close range.

The moment they looked at each other, the eyes of both of them were extraordinary.

It was as if a fire had been set deep in each other's pupils, and the flickering light was burning more and more intensely...
