Shui Xian could tell that he misunderstood but he didn't feel the need to explain himself. The more he said it was gonna turn in the wrong direction. It was better for him to stay quiet instead. It's not like he felt embarrassed at all.
As for Raelle, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she just said. There was no such thing as words you can say or can't say in Raelle's life. She spoke straightforwardly like her personality.
Soren felt like it wasn't even fun teasing these two. He sighed to himself and asked Raelle, "Yo, President Raelle, I almost forgot to ask."
"What?"
"Are you familiar with Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin?" asked Soren the question he had in his mind since earlier.
"Not familiar," replied Raelle while Shui Xian frowned when he heard Soren's question that came out of nowhere.
"Then why did he ask you to stay behind to talk alone?" inquired Soren suspiciously. Even though he knew that Raelle didn't lie, he still felt something was wrong here.
Raelle definitely wasn't lying to him. She was obviously not familiar with Xiang Weimin. Just knowing who he was didn't mean that they were familiar with each other. This was the second time they even came face to face, how familiar could they possibly be with each other?
"Maybe he fell for my beauty at first sight," she said.
Cloe pursed her lips to hide her smile while Soren's lips twitched at her words. "I'd rather believe that he was fascinated by that brain of yours. After all, he seemed quite impressed by you when we were discussing the blueprints."
"Then why are you questioning so much," retorted Raelle. "Whatever attracted him isn't of my concern." She found Shui Xian looking at her and lowered her voice to say, "I'll explain later."
Shui Xian wasn't that curious, to begin with. So, he didn't mind waiting.
Whether it was Shui Xian, Raelle, or Soren, each of them had big shots in their fields. So, their table could be considered quite high profile. It wasn't easy for people to see these three people together. Since the organizers also knew the importance and status of these people, they didn't dare have just anyone sit at the same table with them.
After much consideration, three more people were arranged to share the same table. And two of them soon joined them on the table. One was a middle-aged man with a potbelly who held a flattering smile on his face as he spoke to the old man beside him.
Even though the old man was trying to keep it in, he still looked annoyed.
Raelle didn't want to pay attention to these people but it seemed that it couldn't be avoided. A young girl ran up to cozy up coquettishly to the man with the potbelly as she whined, "Daddy, ask them to let me sit with my Brother Gu!"
"Xiaye, I didn't bring you here to chase stars," the middle-aged man smiled apologetically to the old man beside him.
The girl called Xiaye pouted at him and her eyes suddenly fell on Raelle. Her eyes widened and she pointed at her and screamed, "It's you!"
Forget about others even Cloe was taken aback. She looked at that young girl up and down carefully, trying to understand how this spoiled brat knew her Chief? As for why she called her a spoiled brat, the young girl was clearly proving herself to be one as she complained to her father.
"Daddy, she bullied me in the jewelry store last time," Le Xiaye glared at Raelle and became even more furious when she noticed how Raelle hadn't even spared her a single glance as if she was still an insignificant dancing monkey in her eyes who didn't even deserve her glance. Le Xiaye forced a couple of tears as she hugged her father's arm and continued to complain pitifully. "Not only did she steal the piece I liked. She even bullied me before the staff and my friends. She kicked me out of the store as well. Daddy, you have to get justice for me! I don't want to see her, throw her out of here."
The old man dressed in a tunic suit had his brows scrunched up in displeasure. He clearly didn't like this loud young lady's whining.
As for Le Xiaye's father, Mayor Le had a complex look on his face right now as he stared at Raelle. Forget that she was sitting with Shui Xian and Soren right now. Earlier he had even learned that she was President Raelle, this fact alone was enough to leave him in a difficult position here.
Sure, he was the mayor and had some power in his hands. But these three people were the giants he couldn't shake. They controlled the economy, it was not good for politicians to have a beef with businessmen.
He might not be familiar with Raelle, but he certainly knew that she was from the Xiang family. And he heard a lot about this military family. Just her family name was enough to allow her to be arrogant. But she was outstanding on her own as well. Who would dare go and mess with her? Wasn't that person looking for death?!
"Xiaye," Mayor Le gritted his teeth and stopped his daughter from crying her crocodile tears. He knew his daughter best. And he even knew that her mother had spoiled her too much. Both mother and daughter loved using the fact that he was a Mayor. "Stop talking."
"Daddy, you're taking her side?" questioned Le Xiaye in disbelief. She looked hatefully at Raelle, "Why should I stay quiet? She insulted me. How can I let it go?"
"Mayor Le certainly has a good daughter," Raelle's voice was heard for the first time since they appeared at the table. One couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry right now just from her voice.. But her words were sarcastic for sure and anyone with a little brain could tell that.
