Chapter 102 She Doesn't Need to Forgive Me
"What does Xixi think of Mrs. Shen?"
Jiang Ci casually propped himself up on the ground with his hand, rested his chin on his hand, and tilted his head to look at Shen Xi.
Shen Xi was puzzled as to why Jiang Ci was paying so much attention to Madam Shen today. Was he going to discuss business with them?
Or perhaps their chance encounter today caught Jiang Ci's attention?
She replied conservatively, "Kind-looking, must be a good person."
In Shen Xi's worldview, there is a middle ground in the division of people, which is the intersection of good and bad people, and most of the people in it have no attributes.
After all, pure evil and pure good are too rare.
Jiang Ci remained silent, unsure whether the Shen family couple were Xi Xi's biological parents.
Similarly, it's better for him not to do things without a basis than to give people hope only to plunge them into deeper despair.
It's like stabbing someone with a knife, and then apologizing for stabbing someone wrong afterward.
This is a capital offense.
Jiang Ci also understood Shen Xi's personality. If she really didn't want to, then she simply didn't want to. Her upbringing had cultivated a personality that was neither pretentious nor hesitant.
But tonight, we need to be fully prepared.
At this moment, Butler Li walked in.
"Young Master, Young Madam. The Jiang Group's makeup team has arrived."
"Okay, bring them in."
Jiang Ci pulled his legs back, slowly sat back on the sofa, and effortlessly lifted Shen Xi onto the sofa with one arm.
"Hmm?" Shen Xi raised her eyes and teased, "Tsk, President Jiang is already concerned about his image?"
Jiang Ci casually rolled up his sleeves, his tone languid.
"Yeah, otherwise they'll end up joking around with me at the next meeting, and the company's profits can't afford that."
"After all... I still have a beautiful wife to support, don't I?"
Shen Xi couldn't bear to look at his flirtatious expression. Before he regained his memories, he would have kept his distance from her, but now he was acting all lewd after just a few words.
The makeup team came in around this time.
The person leading the way in was heavily made up, with sharp features and an aggressive appearance, making it difficult to tell whether he was male or female. He wore an oversized, loose shirt over ripped jeans, a ring around his neck, and two crossed silver bracelets on his wrists, jingling as he walked in.
He was followed by about ten people, men and women, each carrying two large backpacks and another on their backs. The last person to enter pushed two large clothes racks inside, filled with all sorts of beautiful and exquisite dresses.
With a series of clanging metallic sounds, Xu Yichuan walked up to Jiang Ci, quite politely.
"Boss, are we doing makeup for this beautiful lady today?"
Then, seeing that the boss hadn't even spoken yet...
Xu Yichuan's eyes sparkled, and he placed his delicate fingers next to his own rosy cheeks, laughing heartily. His tone was flirtatious, and his expressions were so exaggerated that it was as if he were acting in an American sitcom.
"Oh my God, my boss, you are so beautiful, stunningly gorgeous, my world seems to shine for you..."
He turned his head with a delicate gesture, "Look, even my boss is head over heels for you. You are so admirable and fascinating to me."
His praise flowed smoothly, as if he had said it more than ten thousand times.
Shen Xi was completely stunned by what she heard.
Is this the magical corporate culture of the Jiang family?
To be honest, this was the first time Shen Xi had ever seen such an exaggerated and unique way of flattering someone. She really wanted to record it on her phone and put it on Jiang Ci's bedside table every night to play on a timer, so that Jiang Ci would be thoroughly impressed and she could praise her whenever they met, hahaha.
Unlike Shen Xi's triumphant atmosphere, Jiang Ci seemed to be emanating a dark aura.
He stared coldly at Xu Zechuan, "Does Marry know how flamboyant you are outside?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zechuan's handsome face paled in shock, and he almost slid down to his knees, pleading, "Boss, I was wrong."
"Speak normally. I forgot to mention, we don't need these formal dresses today." He casually glanced at the rack of expensive formal dresses that had already been opened, all of which were the latest haute couture designs for the season.
"Since those dresses have been opened, you can deal with them yourself."
Xu Zechuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately shouted loudly.
"The boss is so generous!!!"
The men behind him, as if they had been trained, bent over and shouted in unison with their leader.
"The boss is so generous!!!"
"The boss is so generous!!!"
Shen Xi: "..."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Whether he's a big shot or not, I don't know yet, but he's definitely furious right now.
Jiang Ci's forehead veins throbbed, and he spoke expressionlessly.
"You, put on your makeup properly. Don't act provocatively, or you'll lose your salary and this month's performance bonus. Also, you can forget about getting these dresses later."
Mr. Jiang already regretted it.
Xu Zechuan immediately put his feet together and gave a crooked salute, "Yes, sir."
……nerve.
Jiang bid farewell, out of sight, out of mind.
"I'm going upstairs, don't miss me."
Shen Xi gently patted Mr. Jiang's shoulder, got up and went upstairs to prepare for makeup.
……
"What?! Xiaoxi will also be attending tonight's banquet?"
Chu Li's already uneasy heart seemed to become even more precarious, but this time it was for good things.
Her face flushed with excitement as she held the man's large, warm hand, a rare occurrence for her.
"No, no, Xiaoxi is here, I have to go down too. She's not a guest, she's my daughter, the daughter I carried for ten months and gave birth to."
She kept talking and talking, and at one point she was so happy that she started gesturing wildly.
"Yes, Xiaoxi is not a guest of the Shen family, but an indispensable member of the Shen family."
Shen Qi stood firmly beside the woman, took her cold hand in his own, and pulled her into his arms, trying to reassure her.
“The report hasn’t come down yet, but what should I do when it does? How can I confess to Xixi that I have failed as a mother?”
Chu Li bit her lip, feeling sad, regretful, and heartbroken.
She seemed lost in her own emotions, completely oblivious to the deep voice of the tall man beside her.
Shen Qi held her shoulder tightly with one hand, his thumb gently pinching Chu Li's bitten, red lips. His voice was low and gentle, still showing great patience.
"Ali, listen to me."
“It’s not your fault. If we have to find someone to blame, it should be me. It was my carelessness that led to the loss of the child, causing her to suffer so much hardship while wandering outside.”
"As a father, I failed to protect my child when I still had the ability to do so, and I bear an immeasurable guilt. I will apologize to her; this is my attitude as a father."
"But she doesn't need to forgive me."
