Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 818 Exchanging glances and subtle flirting

While casually chatting with Xu Ji about Elephant Foods, Li Shuo led the group past the courthouse entrance. Their group was quite large, and everyone was dressed in suits, so they attracted some attention. However, the reporters didn't recognize them, and no one bothered them for a while.

Just as everyone was about to push through the crowd and enter the courtroom, Lin Shiya, who was surrounded by reporters, suddenly spoke up: "Chairman Li, I didn't expect you to come in person!"

Instinctively, the reporters were almost simultaneously shocked, their eyes turning to look in the direction Lin Shiya was looking!

"It's actually Chairman Li who came in person!"

"Where is Chairman Li?!"

"Has the old chairman arrived?"

Here, it seems that the only person Lin Shiya would "respectfully address" as Chairman Li is the legendary old chairman of Sanxing.

Unfortunately, what they saw was Li Shuo's raised tiger-like eyes and sword-like eyebrows.

"Miss Lin, you're busy, I won't bother you any longer!"

Li Shuo could tell that Lin Shiya was annoyed by these reporters, so she deliberately called out to him. The problem was, Li Shuo didn't really like dealing with reporters either. Well, if he weren't currently the "chairman of the company" but an artist "X", then that would be a different story.

So he replied crisply, and without stopping, he tried to slip away with Xu Ji and the others, but he was a step too slow. The crowd swarmed around them, and then all sorts of questions came flooding in:

"President Li, are you the defendant today?"

"Are you the president of Shuoguo Architecture? You also have the surname Li?"

What is it like to be sued by Samsung Bank?

After the group had only asked a few questions, Li Shuo's face darkened. He spread his hands and pressed them down, saying in a deep voice:

"Are you reporters from a major newspaper or third-rate paparazzi? Before asking any questions, please do some background information: In today's court proceedings, there is no case in which Shuoguo Construction is the defendant. The purpose of my bringing Shuoguo Construction's legal personnel here is to participate in the case of misappropriation of funds from Sanxing Bank. We are the plaintiffs!"

At first, the reporters' noisy questions did not stop, but as Li Shuo spoke word by word, his heavy sense of authority affected some of the people in front of him, and the atmosphere began to quiet down. Finally, when Li Shuo finished speaking, the chattering reporters actually fell silent for a short time!

Lin Shiya, an "observer," was stunned by this scene. Even though Li Shuo was her lover and god in her heart, she was still puzzled: What kind of magic does this man have? Why do these fearless reporters listen to him?

Li Shuo's inherent dignified demeanor was one aspect, but another was that his criticism hit the mark. The most important quality of a reporter is understanding the background of the matter. These people immediately assumed that Shuoguo was the defendant, so they didn't want to be criticized by Li Shuo.

Of course, in response to Lee Seok's words, Lin Shiya also had to make a routine statement: "Chairman Lee, please watch your words. The so-called misappropriation of deposits is completely unfounded. As one of the top three super banks in South Korea, Samsung can absolutely guarantee the safety of depositors' funds..."

Barabara...

"Let's settle the matter of right and wrong in court..."

After she finished speaking, Li Shuo sneered and looked at the reporters in front of him:

"Of course, if the court's final verdict is biased towards Samsung Bank, then I will fully disclose the entire process of this case to you all. The entire process is supported by relevant evidence, and the truth will not be changed by Samsung's sophistry..."

"I believe the court will conduct a fair and just trial. On the contrary, Chairman Li, the trial hasn't even started yet, how can you say the court will favor Samsung? Are you just feeling guilty?"

"Of course I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here, but the problem is, we are facing South Korea's largest conglomerate, Samsung..."

In the eyes of the reporters, the verbal sparring between the Crown Princess and Chairman Shuoguo was much better than the silent, clueless person they had just met. So, as they exchanged barbs, all the reporters watched them intently, with cameras and recorders held high.

However, these people failed to notice that although the two were arguing, the distance between them was actually getting closer and closer. Moreover, since their verbal sparring inevitably involved face-to-face confrontation, the reporters were essentially viewing the two from a third-party perspective, not from a direct line of sight. Naturally, they couldn't see that as the two got closer, although they were arguing fiercely and threatening each other, they were actually exchanging glances and meaningful looks.

"You vixen, why did you drag me into this?!"

"Ugh, I'm so annoyed by all these reporters' questions. I wanted you to come in and help me out."

"Then how will you repay me?"

"Look at my outfit, it's exactly as you instructed, Chairman..."

There were many people between them, so it wasn't until Lin Shiya walked up to Li Shuojin that he was surprised to find that Lin Shiya was not wearing a traditional women's suit, but an alternative outfit in black. He hadn't noticed it before because it was also black!

"This outfit is so beautiful, tsk tsk, it really has that seductive contrast of a widow..."

Eyes couldn't possibly convey such complex meaning; this shout was clearly Li Shuo's quiet muttering...

Because Lin Shiya in front of Li Shuo was simply too amazing:

She wore a modern, modified black women's "suit" resembling a widow's dress. Though called a suit, it was more like a robe. It retained the traditional silhouette of flowing, wide sleeves, but was reshaped by a clean cut. The deep V-neck was slightly open, revealing a line of pale skin below her collarbone, exuding restraint and sexiness.

A cold, hard metal belt sharply cinched her narrow waist and full curves. Instead of trousers, she wore a skirt with a bold slit that reached above her knees, revealing her long, slender legs encased in matte black stockings.

This scene almost perfectly matched Li Shuo's XP, which led to his "muttering incoherently." His voice wasn't loud, and the reporters on the periphery couldn't hear him clearly, but Lin Shiya, Xu Ji behind Li Shuo, and several bodyguards nearby, at least half of them heard it!

The bodyguards on the Shuoguo side almost lost their composure, and even Xu Ji rolled her eyes at Li Shuo with a smile. Meanwhile, the bodyguards on the Sanxing side immediately glared at Lin Shiya, waiting for her to give the order to take down this rude rogue!

Unfortunately, what they saw was Lin Shiya with a flushed face. She had originally worn this outfit at Li Shuo's request, and to suit Li Shuo's tastes, she had deliberately consulted Xu Ji and asked a professional tailor to cut the slit in the skirt higher. She also had a pearl-white pleated shirt specially paired with it to further highlight her "widow" charm...

The man's praise was undoubtedly the best response to all her efforts. So, the bodyguards didn't even see that Lin Shiya's long, beautiful legs were already intertwined, and her eyes were becoming somewhat moist as she looked at Li Shuo…
