Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Lin Shuwen was briefly caught by surprise when he spotted He Xiaoman. He had not anticipated seeing her here. After he composed his thoughts, he frowned.

Had she deliberately waited for him here?

Lin Shuwen turned sideways and did his utmost to cover Fang Chen’s face.

If she started to harass Fang Chen for the bid, it would be really frustrating.

Fang Chen noticed Lin Shuwen’s actions and glanced at him quizzically. He quickly followed his gaze and his eyes landed on He Xiaoman.

Since Fang Chen had never seen He Xiaoman before, he merely looked for two seconds before veering his eyes.

“I think it’s your foster mother,” said Min Yu nonchalantly with his hands in his coat pocket.

“Huh?” Huo Yao paused for two seconds before she raised her head. The moment she caught sight of He Xiaoman, she lamented that it was such a small world.

She had previously bumped into He Xiaoman at a restaurant in the city center. Now she encountered her again. Tsk.

Huo Yao pursed her lips. Her exquisite face seemed languid as she replied. “All I can say is that adversaries are fated to cross paths.”

Lin Shuwen suddenly turned his head when he heard what Huo Yao said. He asked her in shock. “Adversaries?”

He clearly did not understand why she had said this.

Lin Shuwen had only conducted a brief investigation into Huo Yao’s background and did not go into detail about the nature of her relationships. At that time, it was considered unnecessary.

Huo Yao raised her brow and said, “Oh, my bad. I don’t know her at all.”

Lin Shuwen was shocked to hear this. Just as he was about to ask Huo Yao in greater detail, she shifted her eyes and said to Min Yu, “Let’s go.”

Min Yu glanced at her and nodded. “Okay.”

Huo Yao turned to look at Lin Shuwen and Fang Chen. “Mr. Lin, Mr. Fang, see you around.”

Then she nodded and headed to the clubhouse entrance without waiting for them to respond to her farewell.

Huo Yao walked unhurriedly. She was tall and slender and her coat was slightly open. She gave off a cool, decisive aura. She looked as sophisticated as the dignified man walking beside her. They came off looking like the perfect couple.

“They sure look like a good match,” commented Lin Shuwen from the bottom of his heart as he watched them from behind.

Fang Chen took a glance but made no comment.

Lin Shuwen covered his mouth and cleared his throat before he glanced at He Xiaoman standing nearby. Since Huo Yao said she was unacquainted with He Xiaoman, it made no sense for him to play nice with her.

He turned to Fang Chen and said, “Why don’t we head back too?”

Fang Chen nodded and headed out of the door.

Now that they were about to leave, He Xiaoman hurriedly ran over to them in her high heels. “Hi, Secretary Lin…”

Fang Chen’s bodyguard had already driven the car up to the clubhouse entrance. Lin Shuwen frowned when he heard He Xiaoman’s voice. He got Fang Chen to get into the car first. After closing the car door, he turned around unhurriedly with a distant look on his face.

He Xiaoman instinctively glanced at the black car next to Lin Shuwen when she came running over. Since the car door was shut and it had with black tinted windows, it was impossible for her to see Fang Chen sitting inside the vehicle.

He Xiaoman clenched her fists slightly as her eyes landed on Lin Shuwen.

She inhaled deeply before she started. “Secretary Lin, about what occured in the private room earlier… I really hope you don’t take it to heart and just pretend that nothing happened. Lu Corporation worked hard on the bid for over six months, so we are very well prepared…”
