Novel Bin Chapter 21
2/8
Everyone has their own trajectory in life. However, for majority of the people, theirs were plain and normal.
Lin Xuan was not from Zhong Hai. After graduating from university, she stayed in Zhong Hai and tried to make a living.
Within these few years, the developments ran smoothly. Before 30, she was already a Human Resource Director at an internationally renowned enterprise. She could somewhat be considered as a successful person in Zhong Hai.
Wang Lu got married and became a housewife.
Despite being a slight gold digger, her husband was not from a wealthy family, neither was he rich.
He was a senior from the same university as her and had chased her relentlessly. After graduation, he was neither successful nor hopeless. However, due to her senior\'s influence, she was able to work as a middle-ranking supervisor in her senior\'s company.
Using Wang Lu\'s own words, she was too blind and accepted the marriage proposal back then.
However, in reality, there was blissfulness written all over her face back then. Which part of it seems like she was unhappy about her husband?
Fang Lei began to work at her own family\'s company and she would inherit everything in a few years time. Her fiance was a foreign honor student and their social status were well-matched. The both of them were quite satisfied with one another and once they got married, her life would be complete.
As for Chen Xi, his development was out of everyone\'s expectations.
Chen Xi was a honor student that majored in computers. During that time, the internet environment within the motherland was not as fertile as right now. It could said as a completely undeveloped blue sea.
If he continued in his original trajectory, after graduation, he would become a computer programmer in an internet firm. After 3 to 5 years, he would have gathered enough connections and experiences, or perhaps he could ride the popular craze of internet, becoming a pig standing at a windy spot.
By standing at an extremely windy spot, even pig can fly.
The trend of events bring forth the hero. If he did not get the wrong script, Chen Xi\'s net worth might be worth billions and become an IT celebrity.
Sadly there are no ifs, and he did not get the wrong script.
After 5 years, Chen Xi did not become an IT celebrity but a highly skilled cultivator.
Of course, if cultivation was also a job, he would at least be at the CEO level.
Perhaps to protect Chen Xi\'s pride, Lin Xuan did not tell the truth to Wang Lu and Fang Lei.
Hence, both of them thought that Ying Ying had abandoned Chen Xi and his daughter.
"Ai, I guessed it a long time ago. Ying Ying is a fairy. Chen Xi, although you are not bad, however, how can a mortal match a fairy. Hence, my guess is that Ying Ying had returned to the sky!" Wang Lu waved her fork while saying with an exaggerated expression.
"What nonsense are you sprouting?" Lin Xuan unhappily glared at her.
Meanwhile, Fang Lei shook her head and said, "Ying Ying is not that kind of person. I guess she had something going on at home and had to leave for a while. However, she had left for a bit too long ah…"
"Obviously, her kid is already this big."
Wang Lu rolled her eyes at Fang Lei. Next, she sliced a small piece of lamb meat and fed it to the little kiddo.
Recently, she was considering on whether to have a baby. After seeing that the little kiddo was adorably cute, she directed snatched the little kiddo into her arms and loudly declared that she wanted to have a daughter.
Chen Xi silently ate his food. Although the food was extremely scrumptious, he felt that he was chewing a candle wax.
Come to think of it, based on Ying Ying\'s indifferent personality, it was already good enough to call them every now and then. Hence, why would she tell them about her future plans.
No one had seen Ying Ying, neither did they know where she had gone to.
Chen Xi became quite irritated thinking up till here.
He was able to traverse the universe as he pushed himself to the limits in order to get back here. He did not believe that he could not find a person and a small planet like this.
After chatting for a while, upon realizing that there were no news of Ying Ying, Wang Lu decisively changed the topic and asked carefully, "Xuan Xuan, Li Xiu Wen can also be considered as an old friend. Why don\'t we ask him to join us?"
Hearing that, Lin Xuan immediately placed down her cutlery. Just when she was about to flare up, Wang Lu quickly interjected, "You say that he is annoying, but, he came a long way just to reach here. He has already given you enough face by not daring to greet you without your permission. No matter what, he is a big boss of a listed company, it is not really nice to just cast him into a corner. Let\'s be more polite, it\'s just a meal after all, no big deal…"
Under Wang Lu\'s clear and reasonable persuasion, she had finally convinced Lin Xuan. Hence, Lin Xuan very reluctantly nodded her head.
Once she got the green light, Wang Lu immediately stood up and waved towards the other side, indicating him to come over.
Lin Xuan reserved a round table that was situated by the river. Hence, with the addition of that man, which rounded up to 5 adults and 1 children, they were still able to seat comfortably.
"Come come come, Chen Xi, this is Li Xiu Wen. He is the young master of Luxuriant Wen Group. He opened a shipping company and is ranked top 3 in our university."
"Manager Li, this is Chen Xi, my old schoolmate. He was a junior in the same profession as you."
Li Xiu Wen was 3 grades higher than them, which meant that he was currently 30 years old, the golden age of man.
He wore a custom fit suit, looking extremely sharp. His whole body emitted an aura of charm and confidence that belonged to a successful person.
"Mr Chen, nice to meet you."
After listening to Wang Lu\'s introductions, Li Xiu Wen courteously extended his hand.
Due to the presence of Lin Xuan, Li Xiu Wen had significantly lowered his posture, as if he did not put on any airs. He gave people a feeling that he was extremely approachable and friendly.
However, when Li Xiu Wen was shaking hands with Chen Xi, he secretly stole a quick glance and sized up Chen Xi.
After Affirming that Chen Xi did not have much of threat to him, Li Xiu Wen finally relaxed, even his smile became wider by a few inches.
However, this small action was not able to escape from Chen Xi\'s eyes.
Li Xiu Wen got to know Lin Xuan during a school. During that time, Lin Xuan had just graduated and the compassionate beauty had attracted him right there and then. Hence, Li Xiu Wen immediately started his passionate assault."
To no avail, Lin Xuan did not fall for him.
All of his invitations were rejected. All of his gifts were refused.
For a long time, their relationship remained stagnant. Out of methods, Li Xiu Wen could only drag Wang Lu\'s husband to work at his company. He decided to start the assault from Wang Lu\'s side, walking the path of salvation.
Reality proved that this method was indeed effective.
Recently, the number of times they had a meal together steadily increased. Even though there were other people interfering, there was at least some improvements, wasn\'t there?
As for Lin Xuan, she did not really hate Li Xiu Wen.
The reason why she was so cold to him was to prevent him from getting any ideas.
Actually, there were some truths in what Wang Lu said.
30 years old. He had money and background. He was even handsome. Moreover, he had chased her for 5 to 6 years. Several girls\' heart would be moved just solely by his unyielding determination.
However, Lin Xuan thought otherwise.
Although she might appeared to be quite carefree at times, deep inside, she was a woman with a maiden\'s heart; Pure, innocent and cheerful.
If she had a reason to reject Li Xiu Wen, there would only be one…
Feeling was not right.
The meaning of these 4 words were very simple, and that was—-Not a chance!
However, Li Xiu Wen simply refused to believe it.
After many years of weaving in and out of the affairs of the heart, he had not met someone like Lin Xuan. Hence, the more Lin Xuan refused, the more he worked up he got.
Come to think of it, he was also an unmarried man at 30 years old. In the end, which of them was easy to handle?
