CHAPTER 755: CHAPTER 671: LIKING YOU, FROM THE FIRST GLANCE 12

Wen Xue quickly answered Jian Dan’s questions and was not the least bit friendly, "Miss, let’s go. I don’t know this person."

Jian Dan understood immediately, followed Wen Xue, and prepared to return to the hotel, but Hai En stuck to them like glue, "Hello, my name is Hai En. I have no other intentions, I just want to make friends with you."

Jian Dan’s red lips were tightly pursed; she had no intention of responding. Instead, she frowned and hastened her pace.

Hai En had not come here alone for fun; he was accompanied by quite a few friends. Seeing a dispute, they all crowded around.

The expressions on Jian Dan and Wen Xue’s faces changed instantly. Wen Xue stepped back and shielded Jian Dan behind her, "Sir, may I ask if you are the son of Haicheng Group?"

Being recognized, Hai En was somewhat astonished, but this wasn’t something shameful. On the contrary, it could be an intimidating opener.

Before Hai En could speak, the friends around him laughed. Someone said, "Hai En is the brother of President Hai of Haicheng Group. What do you think, miss?"

Wen Xue nodded, understanding, and revealed her identity, "Does Young Master Hai know about a recent partnership plan between Haicheng Group and Bo Group? Let me formally introduce myself: I am Wen Xue, the assistant of President Bo from Bo Group."

Hai En might have been a wealthy playboy, but he was not completely ignorant.

He liked to have fun and knew his limits. Although his previous behavior was inappropriate and caused a misunderstanding on Wen Xue’s part, now that Wen Xue had played her hand, he saw no need to persist in his pursuit.

Besides, knowing his identity, it was unreasonable for her to deceive him. Such a lie could be easily debunked with a phone call, and he would not be foolish enough to believe Wen Xue was bluffing.

Seeing Hai En rein in his expression, appearing contemplative, his friends did not dare to probe further and quietly stood by his side, waiting for his response.

In the crowd, a beautiful girl stepped forward, expressing nonchalance, "Just because you say you’re from Bo Group, does that make it true?"

Her family was also a top-ranking group in Haicheng and had a good relationship with Haicheng Group. Moreover, she liked Hai En,

and her family intended for a marital alliance between the two. However, Hai En’s sister, Hai Ling, felt it was too early for Hai En to marry and that even if there were marital plans, they should consider Hai En’s own wishes. Love is a matter between two people, and although in some respects there might be little choice,

Hai Ling still hoped that her brother would marry someone he truly loved. That was of the utmost importance, and matching family backgrounds would be an added bonus.

Of course, these were only hopes, not necessarily principles.

In Haicheng, the Haicheng Group already had enough power.

Hai En’s expression darkened instantly, "Zhao Linlin, it’s not your place to speak here."

Foolish and brainless, such a lie could be easily exposed. If the other party wasn’t naive, they definitely wouldn’t tell a lie that would deceive her, especially since Zhao Linlin had not seemed the least bit flustered when she spoke.

This indicated that they were quite confident and unafraid of being verified.

Once Hai En had figured out these complexities, he immediately showed goodwill, "I apologize for any misunderstanding I may have caused, and for my friend’s impulsive behavior. I hope Assistant Wen Xue won’t take it to heart."

Wen Xue smiled, naturally not one to hold a grudge with such a young person, shaking her head, "It’s fine."

Then she turned and took Jian Dan by the hand, "Miss, let’s go back first."

"Okay."

Jian Dan gripped the little basket in her hand and followed closely behind Wen Xue, worried that any delay would prevent her from leaving.

As soon as they left, Zhao Linlin huffed up to Hai En, "You just trust them like that? What if they’re lying to you?"

Amongst the people here, except for Zhao Linlin and two other ladies from prominent families, everyone else thought Zhao Linlin was out of her mind. Who in their right mind would be so eager to tell such an easily refutable lie, to go to such lengths to deceive?

Seeing that Zhao Linlin wouldn’t give up until all options had been exhausted, Hai En smiled and immediately took out his phone to prove it to her. He dialed directly to Hai Ling’s secretary, "Sister Zhouzhou, is my sister discussing a contract with President Bo of Bo Group?"

Zhouzhou, "Yes, Young Master. Do you need Miss for anything?"

"No, just asking. Did President Bo bring two guests to stay at our family’s hotel?"

Zhouzhou replied promptly, "Yes, Young Master, they’re staying in the same hotel as you. Prior to this, President Hai mentioned that if you have time, have a meal with President Bo and get to know each other. Assistant Wen Xue, as well as President Bo’s niece Jian Dan are there; I will send their photos to your phone in a moment. If Young Master is fortunate enough to meet them, please take care of them."
