Chapter 12: Chapter 12 The CEO Remembers You
Done for.
Having been entangled in the entertainment industry for many years, she knew all too well what this handshake represented.
I've got you now, you're finished...
She strained to pull her hand away, only to find... she couldn't pull it free at all!
"Bro."
In the tense atmosphere, Jiang Wanze broke the silence, "Dad is still waiting for us in the room."
As he looked at Ye Xian and his elder brother shaking hands, his expression grew unpleasant, clearly not wanting to see the clown that was Ye Xian for another moment.
Ye Xian shivered, hurriedly withdrawing her hand, her gaze awkwardly fixed on a nearby champagne glass.
"Hmm."
For a long while, only a deep male response was heard overhead, followed by footsteps as Bo Tingshen and Jiang Wanze vanished from the Banquet Hall entrance.
Ye Xian sighed in relief.
Cary squinted, looking at him with ill intentions, "Ye Xian, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Holding the CEO's hand that long!"
"???" Ye Xian, "It was him who wouldn't let go, okay?"
"What are you even thinking, the CEO holding your hand and not letting go, you think you're the President of the country?"
"We don't have a President in our country."
Cary, "..."
"Oh right, I wanted to ask you guys something, does President Bo really dote on the team captain, his younger brother?"
Two years ago, Bo Tingshen went abroad to expand the group's market. That was also when Ye Xian, dressed in drag, joined the FOR boy band. Thus, even in the memories of her original body, there were few traces of Bo Tingshen.
Her understanding of him was based solely on a few hasty sentences from the original story.
"Hmm." Lin Yan nodded, "You could say that the team captain wouldn't have achieved what he has today without President Bo's support."
"How so?"
Ye Xian, eager for gossip, pushed Cary aside and leaned closer to Lin Yan.
"?"
Cary stared, dumbstruck, at his disdained hand. It was always him doing the disdaining; how dared Ye Xian push him away today?
Did putting on a new outfit truly make him believe he was a prince?
He moved closer to Ye Xian, unwilling to give up.
Lin Yan didn't know why, but even though Ye Xian had merely asked in passing, he answered, and now he had to delve deeper, looking into his eyes which were clear and bright like a shining little moon at night, finding himself suddenly unable to refuse.
However, the team captain's background was never a secret.
"Originally, Old Master Bo did not accept the team captain's background, but it was the CEO who acknowledged him, and the chairman then arranged for the team captain to be brought to the Bo Family. The Bo Family, a prestigious family for three generations with wealth over a hundred million, naturally did not want their descendants involving in the entertainment industry. It was solely the CEO's strong support that allowed the team captain to bravely enter the industry and pursue his dreams."
Ye Xian nodded.
As expected, just like described in the book, although Jiang Wanze only had half the Bo Family's blood, Bo Tingshen doted heavily on this younger brother.
Then...
"Then will he seek revenge against me because I've been clinging to Jiang Wanze?"
Ye Xian inadvertently blurted out her inner thoughts.
"Hahaha~"
Cary finally understood why the CEO looked off since he appeared.
It seems he was aware after all.
"Definitely! And if the CEO decides to deal with you, it won't even be called revenge; it'd be as easy as squashing an ant. Don't overestimate yourself, your end is near."
Cary gloated, pretending to be ready to slay him personally.
Ye Xian's hand trembled as she held her wine glass, quickly taking a sip to steady her nerves.
Having read the novel and knowing Bo Tingshen's temperament, she was fully aware that this was no joke.
