Chapter 1357: I Hope She Won’t Regret Her Actions Later

Like Xiao Tian, Xi Xingyi was also shocked when she saw him.

After ordering green tea, Xiao Tian walked toward Xi Xingyi. “Lady Xi Lingxian, we meet again.”

Like when they were in Japan, he still didn’t know that Xi Xingyi lied to him about her identity.

Xi Xingyi’s lips curled up into a smile. “You are Xiao Tian, right? The one I met in Japan four days ago.”

Of course, she still remembered Xiao Tian because he was an interesting young man in her eyes.

“Yes, that’s me.” Xiao Tian did not expect to meet Xi Xingyi so quickly like that. “Are you alone?”

“Yes.” Xi Xingyi responded as she nodded her head. “I’m currently waiting for Nichang to arrive.”

“Nichang? Do you mean lady Leng Nichang?” Xiao Tian asked curiously.

“Yes.” Like before, Xi Xingyi gave an honest answer again. “She is one of my subordinates.”

“I see.” Xiao Tian finally knew that the Sun Auction House belonged to the Xi family.

“Why are you still standing? Sit down and accompany me.” Xi Xingyi thought getting a companion was not a bad idea because it was boring waiting for Leng Nichang alone.

“Sure.” Actually, Xiao Tian only wanted to greet her and sit at another table, but he changed his mind after hearing her words.

“Do you often come to this shop?” Xi Xingyi asked curiously.

“This is my third time coming to this shop.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. “What about you, lady Xi? Do you often come to this shop?”

“This is my first time coming to this shop.” Xi Xingyi responded, “I happened to have some business around here, so I came to this shop.”

“I see.” Xiao Tian nodded his head.

Not long after that, Leng Nichang arrived.

She was shocked when she saw Xiao Tian sitting in front of Xi Xingyi.

‘Mr. Xiao? Did they meet by chance?’

That was the question that appeared in her mind.

Xiao Tian and Xi Xingyi turned their heads toward Leng Nichang when they caught sight of her.

“Here.” Xi Xingyi smiled as she waved her right hand.

Leng Nichang sat next to Xiao Tian before finally saying, “I did not expect to meet you in this place, Mr. Xiao.”

Like usual, Xiao Tian showed his charming smile, “I happened to meet big sister Xi Lingxian.”

“Big sister Xi Lingxian?” Leng Nichang was shocked.

‘Did madam Xi hide her identity to him? But what is this big sister thing?’

Of course, she knew that Xi Xingyi was a beauty, but calling her big sister was too much.

Xi Xingyi was already forty-five years old while Xiao Tian was still twenty-one, so calling her big sister was quite weird.

Leng Nichang shifted her gaze from Xiao Tian to Xi Xingyi when Xi Xingyi kicked her right leg.

‘Hmm?’

Even though Xi Xingyi did not say anything, but Leng Nichang knew what she had in mind.

Xi Xingyi wanted her not to reveal her real identity to Xiao Tian!

She decided not to reveal the truth because Xi Xingyi was her boss and Xi Ran’s mother.

“I see.” Leng Nichang nodded her head.

Xi Xingyi smiled in satisfaction when Leng Nichang did not reveal the truth. There was one reason why she wanted to keep hiding her real identity.

She loved it when people saw her as a woman in her twenties!

She was already forty-five years old, so her heart was filled with happiness when Xiao Tian thought she was Xi Ran’s elder sister.

That was the main reason why she wanted to keep hiding the truth. After all, it had been a long time since someone called her big sister.

And what made her happiest was that the one who called her big sister was an attractive young man like Xiao Tian.

Of course, she wanted to enjoy that happy feeling first. The trio began to talk.

However, Xiao Tian didn’t stay long because Liang Jun asked him to sign important documents for his new company.

After Xiao Tian left, Leng Nichang looked at Xi Xingyi and inquired, “Madam, are you not afraid of the consequences? After all, it’s impossible to hide the truth forever.”

“It’s fine. I will reveal the truth, but not now. It has been a long time since the last time someone called me big sister. I want to enjoy it first.” Xi Xingyi knew that she would not be able to hide everything forever, so she would reveal the truth later.

She did not do anything bad to Xiao Tian, so she was sure that Xiao Tian would not be angry at her later.

Leng Nichang did not say anything because she could not force Xi Xingyi to reveal the truth.

‘I hope she won’t regret her actions later.’

She hoped Xi Xingyi would not regret her decision because they already had many problems.

After Xiao Tian signed all the necessary documents, he went straight to the Xing family restaurant because Xing Hanxian invited him to lunch.

At first, he thought he would have lunch with Xing Hanxian alone, but he was wrong.

He was utterly wrong because Xing Ranqing and Xing Juzong came with Xing Hanxian. Not only that but there was also Zhao Sheng in the Xing family restaurant.

“Where have you been, bro? I haven’t seen you lately.” Xing Ranqing spoke abruptly.

“I went to Japan with my family and women for several days.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. “I always work hard, so I want to reward myself.”

“Work hard my ass!” Zhao Sheng stated. “I remember that you always spent time with us or your women.”

Xiao Tian’s company was already able to run on its own, so Zhao Sheng did not believe it when Xiao Tian said he had been working really hard lately.

“Brother Xiao, brother Zhao, do you want to see the progress of our humanitarian event?” Xing Juzong inquired.

Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads. “Yes.”

They went straight to the orphanage to meet the orphans. Even though Xiao Tian was not a saint, but his heart still melted when he saw their happy faces.

The orphans were thrilled and expressed their gratitude to Xiao Tian and the others. Not only would they have new orphanages, but they would also have a school.

The Xing family had helped them in achieving two of their dreams. That was why they were pleased when they met Xing Juzong and the others.

Xing Juzong and the others also checked the progress of the orphanages. They wanted to make sure everything went according to the plan.

Xing Juzong and the others nodded their heads after checking everything.

Xing Ranqing looked at his brother and inquired, “Brother, how about we buy snacks and cake and eat with the orphans?”

“Good idea!” Xing Hanxian nodded his head.

Xing Juzong looked at Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng. “What do you think, brother Xiao, brother Zhao?”

“Un. Good idea.” Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng also agreed with Xing Ranqing’s idea.

Xi Ran finally decided to meet her mother after not seeing her for several months.

Of course, she was still unwilling to forgive her mother because her mother had done some cruel things to her.
