Chapter 452: Whom Was He Here For
Yu Lanxiang was dumbfounded when she learnt that Hongyan Beauty Club would be reopening in a few days, and a lot of people were invited.
All along, she had thought that Hongyan was closed down because they couldn’t survive any longer. The so-called renovation and reopening were all just a cover-up.
Never had she expected Hongyan to reopen for real! Was Liu Manhong insane?
Many beauticians from Hongyan had been poached by Yu Lanxiang, including their apprentices.
Most importantly, she had taken over their customers.
Throughout the past month, at least 50 percent of Hongyan’s customers had gone to Xianrong. Besides, the customers had given Xianrong good reviews.
Their sales were so good that Yu Lanxiang had even opened several branches at other locations, all of which were going to be launched very soon.
After getting to know Hongyan’s plan, Yu Lanxiang hastened the renovation workers at the branches to speed up their work right away, even asking her employees to get ready.
She had decided to open on the same day as Hongyan!
She would let Hongyan know what it was like to cry their hearts out!
Yu Lanxiang couldn’t stop grinning as she thought of how Liu Manhong would react.
Right as she started laughing, however, she saw her eldest son, Wan Shicheng, walking out in a formal suit.
“Where are you going?”
It was about 7 or 8 o’clock at night already. Where was he planning to go?
Wan Shicheng glanced at his mother and replied in a casual tone, “I have an appointment with a client.”
“You’re meeting a client at this hour?” Yu Lanxiang didn’t quite believe what he said. What kind of client would ask to meet so late at night?
Anyway, she had never been too strict with Wan Shicheng, despite being his mother. Since Wan Shicheng had assumed a directing position at the company, she had even less control over him now.
“Be careful then.”
“I know,” Wan Shicheng nodded before striding out of the house.
Yu Lanxiang didn’t notice the earnest, confident smile that he was wearing. He even tidied his tie inorder to make himself look more handsome and jaunty.
If Yu Lanxiang knew the true reason that her son had gone out this late at night, she would surely go crazy!
Wan Shicheng was heading to the TV station.
He heard from Xia Qinghan that the semi-finals would be filmed tonight, so he decided to go over.
His target, of course, was Xia Xibei.
Having suffered defeat in front of Xia Xibei the last time they had met, Wan Shicheng felt somewhat disheartened.
Originally, he had planned to use that as an opportunity to get in touch with Xia Xibei, but the events that had unfolded later on were beyond his expectation.
He Sisi was full of resentment right now too. How could she not be after losing so much money?
Because of that, he even provided a few hundred thousands for He Sisi, thereby putting an end to her grudge.
Although the whole thing seemed a bit strange. How could he give up when Xia Xibei was nothing but a little girl?
The last encounter was an accident. This time, Xia Xibei would certainly be surprised and pleased that he went to pick her up from the TV station in person. After all, no girl in this world would be able to resist such a spontaneous move.
While brooding over it, Wan Shicheng drove the flashiest car that his family owned to the place.
Ten minutes after arriving at the TV station, he saw a small group of people walking out of the building.
His eyes lit up instantly.
“Miss Xia.”
“Brother Shicheng?” Xia Qinghan, who was in the rear, was extremely surprised. However, she didn’t understand why Wan Shicheng was calling her Miss Xia.
Wan Shicheng was Qiao Haoming’s older cousin, which made him her relative too. There was no need for such courtesy between them!
With an impeccable smile on his face, Wan Shicheng walked up to Xia Xibei.
“You are done with filming, aren’t you? How about I give you girls a ride back?”
The look on Xia Qinghan’s face turned awful right away.
