I Became the Best Forensic Doctor After My Betrayal

124 Encountering a New Lover
Lian Jing sat at the head of the table. A few emcees surrounded him enthusiastically and complimented him, but Lian Jing ignored them all.

That hateful woman. No matter how busy he was tonight, he had still sent his chauffeur and Zhong Xin to pick her up from work. However, that woman had actually left without saying a word to him. She had no regard for him whatsoever!

A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, scaring the people around him into silence. They timidly tried to recall what they had just said, but they could not think of anything that might have offended this very important person.

The few men immediately looked pleadingly at the woman beside Lian Jing. They did not dare to say anything in front of President Lian, but this was the first time President Lian had appeared publicly with a woman.

She must hold an extraordinary place in President Lian’s heart.

Ling Xi enjoyed the way others looked at her as if she was the future Madam Lian. When she received their pleading gazes, Ling Xi immediately smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lian Jing. Her voice was as sweet as syrup when she asked, “President Lian, does anything here displease you?”

Lian Jing did not even look at her. He just took the wine glass from her hand and swirled it gently. His tone was cold. “No.”

Ling Xi was a little embarrassed, but so many people had heard that President Lian had brought his mysterious girlfriend and had specially come over to find out if it was true. Naturally, she could not let anyone discern the truth. Her eyes crinkled as she beamed again. “President Lian, why don’t we go and talk to Old Master Chi, the person who organized this banquet?”

Only then did Lian Jing look up at her. His eyes were dark and emotionless.

On the other hand, Ling Xi was overjoyed. She was delighted that he had finally responded to her. She subconsciously straightened her back and puffed out her chest, displaying her feminine charms.

However, her happiness was short-lived. Lian Jing retracted his gaze and curled his lips into a mocking smile. He said bluntly, “Since when were you allowed to interfere in my affairs?”

He had completely humiliated Ling Xi in public, and everyone knew it.

It seemed that rumors could not be trusted. President Lian might have brought a female date on a whim, but she was not his mysterious girlfriend.

For a moment, everyone looked at Ling Xi with contempt and sympathy.

Ling Xi was biting her lower lip in humiliation when she suddenly felt a burning gaze beside her. She looked up in a daze and met Lian Jing’s dark eyes.

Before she could feel shy, Lian Jing’s words spilled over her like a pail of cold water. “Don’t bite your lips in the future. It’s not demure.”

Ling Xi’s face was pale as she nodded her head. Lian Jing’s merciless words had completely humiliated her. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

However, Lian Jing snorted coldly and stood up to walk towards the exit.

Why did she have to bite her lips for no reason? Just like that d*mned woman. Lian Jing felt suffocated when he thought about how that woman had ignored him for the entire day. He stood up and tugged at his tie, wanting to go out and take a breather.

“So your sister is actually in such a dangerous and exciting profession! This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing. I thought it only happened in novels!”

Shen Yin looked at Cheng Huo in surprise. She had not imagined that Cheng Luo was a legendary spy who moved freely between many spheres of influence!

Lian Jing had just reached the entrance of the banquet when he heard this.

The familiar female voice made him subconsciously turn around. He looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked to see a woman at the dining table wearing a jacket that clearly belonged to a man. Her slender calves were exposed, and she was happily talking to a man.

Lian Jing narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the back of Shen Yin’s head, as if he wanted to drill a hole in it to see what was the matter with this woman’s brain!

Not only did she not get into the car he had specially sent to pick her up, but she was sitting here alone with another man, chatting and laughing!

He had been too gentle with her!

Although Ling Xi had been humiliated by Lian Jing, she was Lian Jing’s only female companion. Naturally, she would not let such a rare opportunity slip by so easily. She quickly picked up her long skirt and followed him. She softly spoke in his ear, “President Lian.”

Ling Xi’s face turned pale when she realized that Lian Jing had no intention of talking to her. This man clearly knew about the rumors and had brought her here, but he was not going to show her any regard. What was going on?!

Ling Xi followed Lian Jing’s gaze and saw Shen Yin sitting in the corner with her back facing them.

Although her gown was covered by a jacket, she recognized those expensive high heels. They belonged to the woman who had clashed with her in the washroom.

Did President Lian know her?

Sensing a threat, Ling Xi leaned closer to Lian Jing. Just as she was about to pretend to be weak and fall into his arms, a man suddenly interrupted her from behind.

“Oh dear, President Lian, why are you standing here?” The man, who was almost 40 years old and had a paunch, looked at Ling Xi playfully. “This is your date? President Lian has good taste!”
