Chapter 135 - It's You Again?!

The banquet hall located in the middle of the hotel was occupied by Xing Airlines.

"Hmm, where can this little thief be?"

Zhang Chenric then decided to head to the hotel to search for the person who stole his motorcycle. -------

"Your father had been looking for you this entire time. He can't wait to introduce you to his new friend's son." Secretary Mo said as she led Xing Yin to her father's location.

"Secretary Mo, do you think father wants me to date his friend's son? You know, just like in the movies." Xing Yin spoke in a soft voice.

"How would I know? Why don't you ask him yourself?" Secretary Mo replied.

"No, thanks. He might get angry at me for questioning his intentions." Xing Yin quickly said as they reached her father's table.

"CEO Xing, Miss Yin is here." Secretary Mo was the first one to approach the man.

"Papa, sorry I was late." Xing Yin quickly apologized to her father about her tardiness.

She felt somehow relieved that her father was still alone in the table. His newfound friend wasn't with him yet.

"It's okay. Please be punctual next time." CEO Xing seemed cold towards Xing Yin.

"Have a seat first. You are lucky that my friend hasn't arrived yet. Please be reminded that you are CEO Xing's daughter. You carry my surname, thus you should be mindful of our family's reputation. So act prim proper at all times and don't ever disgrace the Xing surname." CEO Xing spoke again, as he stood up to visit guests from the other tables.

"Yes, Papa. I won't let this happen again." Xing Yin said as she did her best not to get affected by her father's indifference.

Her father's cold treatment towards her started when a man named Wang Daizhuo suddenly showed up and entered her family's life. The man had claimed to be her mother's friend.

Unfortunately, her mother can't seem to remember the guy due to her amnesia.

So this man, Wang Daizhuo, offered to help her mother remember her past.

Her father reluctantly agreed but after a few months, changed his mind when he found out that the guy was his wife's ex-lover.

He then forbade Wang Daizhuo to see his wife again, telling him that his wife will still remember her past even without his help.

After that, her father became to treat her differently and had started neglecting her and her mother.

He was seldom seen at home and spent most of his time in the office or business trips. But the worst has yet to come.

When her mother died, her relationship with her father went down the drain as well.

At that time, Xing Yin started to think that her father might be considering the possibility that she was not his daughter and that her mother committed infidelity.

But until now, her father still tells the world that she's his daughter.

Maybe she was really her father's daughter. But the man can't still overcome his suspicions.

Or was it possible that someone was planting negative thoughts to her father's head? If the latter was possible, that person must be very close to her father.

Who could this despicable person be? Xing Yin then turned her eyes to Secretary Mo who was smiling widely at her.

Xing Yin smiled back at her as she thought: 'It was you, wasn't it?'

The smile on Xing Yin's face faded as she started to be serious.

Tonight, she realized that she can't trust anybody but herself and Aunt Hee.

After finding her resolved, she then busied herself by roaming her eyes around the hall to entertain herself.

Just like the typical woman attending a party, Xing Yin can't help but notice the fashion style of the company's prominent guests.

Many of them were styled by the best artists and stylists.

Most of them wore a luxury brand of clothing.

However, they seemed to be uncomfortable with what they were wearing tonight.

"Aww, you poor things! Defying pain and inconvenience for the sake of being called beautiful." Xing Yin murmured to herself.

Good thing her father wasn't somewhere near her this time.

"Aren't you the same?"

A somewhat familiar voice said. Xing Yin then hurriedly look for the source of the voice.

Her expression darkened as she recognized who the owner was.

"It's you again?!" Xing Yin slammed her hands down the table, almost causing a scene.

"Oops! We didn't want to ruin your company's party." Zhang Chenric pressed his pointing finger in his lips, gesturing Xing Yin to tone down.

"You! What are you doing here? Are you following me?!" Xing Yin hissed at the uninvited guest of the party.

But instead of answering her question right away, the man swiftly moved his lips closer to her ear, and in a soft whisper he spoke,

"Yes, I followed you right here. Actually, I have been searching for you all this afternoon."

Xing Yin's face suddenly turned red for there was no distance left between her and the man.

"G-get away from me!"

Though caught off guard, Xing Yin had still managed to push the guy to gain her personal space back.

Unfortunately for her, the man had a quick reflex as well that in just a matter of split-second he had pulled her back closer to him.

"Is this how you treat the owner of the motorcycle you used just to get to this party on time?"

"Y-you... Y-you o-own the motorcycle? It's yours?" Xing Yin stammered as shock flooded her veins.

"Yes! And I am here not just to take it away. I am also here to personally punish the bad girl who stole it."

Zhang Chenric said while he grinned at the now anxious Xing Yin.
