“Is Mr. Sha in the capital for work or to study?”
“Neither, my family lives in the capital.”
“Miss Liang, what about you?”
“I’m going to my uncle’s place.”
The conversation was brief, touching only lightly on their family ties.
However, in the ensuing conversation, Sha Bao Yu discovered that Liang Si Shen was very knowledgeable, especially regarding international affairs, which she had unique insights on.
…………
Actually, Liang Si Shen was more curious about Sha Bao Yu.
This young man before her was calm and dignified, unlike ordinary people. His deep eyes made it hard to discern what he was thinking.
Even with a faint smile on his lips, he couldn’t hide his innate pride.
Normal men facing a beautiful woman like her would be like peacocks spreading their tails, talking incessantly, eager to display their talents.
But Sha Bao Yu was different, he acted more as a qualified listener.
Yet, occasionally, his understanding of certain issues would give Liang Si Shen a sudden realization, a sense of enlightenment.
For the first time in her life, the usually proud Liang Si Shen developed a strong interest in a man.
…………
The monotonous journey was made bearable by the beautiful woman’s presence, and time flew by.
As the train slowly pulled into Beijing Station, both realized it was time to say goodbye.
However, as she watched Sha Bao Yu depart, Liang Si Shen clutched her phone, suddenly plunged into self-doubt.
He’s just leaving?
Not even leaving contact information?
Could it be that he expects a girl to take the initiative?
This man is really…
Liang Si Shen pouted, and couldn’t help but follow him off the train. Just as she was about to gather her courage, her cousin, Liang Fan, arrived.
“Seventh Sister, let me introduce you, these are my childhood friends, Xiao Ran and Li Li.”
“Big Brother Liang, you got here pretty fast.”
Liang Si Shen replied coldly, feeling a sense of fate’s cruel hand in separating her from Sha Bao Yu.
“The way you two siblings address each other is quite unique.”
Liang Si Shen then noticed two unfamiliar men behind Liang Fan.
“Seventh Sister, let me introduce you!
This is Xiao Ran and Li Li, my childhood friends.
Si Shen is the seventh in the family, so we all call her that.”
Liang Si Shen understood that these two, like Liang Fan, must be from influential families in the capital.
“You must be tired, let me help you with your luggage.”
Since her father married her mother, who came from a capitalist family, his career prospects were hindered, and the three of them were not favored by her grandfather.
So she rarely returned to the capital, disgusted by these snobbish relatives.
Liang Fan, the pampered son, used to ignore her, so his sudden enthusiasm felt a bit strange.
But she’d face anything head-on, whatever came her way.
Her main purpose this time in the capital was to pick up her grandfather, who was returning from abroad.
After picking him up, she’d leave the capital.
But before leaving the station, Liang Si Shen couldn’t help but look back at Sha Bao Yu once more.
She saw him being escorted by a man to a jeep.
“Holy crap! Isn’t that Zhong Yue Min, the CEO of the Beijing Club?”
“That’s right! It’s Zhong Yue Min and his wife, Zhou Xiao Bai. Are they here to pick someone up too?”
“That young man, is he related to Zhong Yue Min?”
Liang Si Shen noticed that Liang Fan and the others were excited to see the couple, almost wanting to greet them.
However, before they could approach, the jeep quickly sped away from the station.
The three men were immediately disappointed.
“What do Zhong Yue Min and Zhou Xiao Bai do? And what is the Beijing Club?”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liang Si Shen couldn’t suppress her curiosity about Sha Bao Yu and asked, pretending to be curious.
“Zhong Yue Min is no ordinary person.”
Liang Fan’s face showed admiration.
“He’s also from a family compound, and when he was young, he was the biggest troublemaker in the capital.
He later served in the military, fought in wars, set up stalls, and sold fruit.”
“His wife, Zhou Xiao Bai, is even more extraordinary. Her father was the commander of the military region.”
The car buzzed with excitement as they discussed Zhong Yue Min and Zhou Xiao Bai.
But from their explanations, Liang Si Shen understood.
Zhong Yue Min and Zhou Xiao Bai were wealthy and powerful individuals a generation older than them.
Their family backgrounds were not comparable to Liang Fan’s.
Being picked up personally by Zhong Yue Min, a powerful figure, indicated that Sha Bao Yu was no ordinary person.
“Seventh Sister, I’ll take you to see this Beijing Club later, it’s the most famous private club in the entire capital.”
