Chapter 485: Whether I Can, Whether I’m a Failure, Have You Even Tried?

Shi Yishen spread his hands and said with a look of great surprise, “Indeed, it’s been a long time. To think I didn’t even know when your company had re-appointed such a young and pretty spokesperson. How regretful.”

As he spoke, he held his hand out toward Li Beinian and bowed like a real gentleman. His smile brought on a deep dimple on his left cheek as he introduced himself. “How do you do, I’m Shi Yishen.”

Li Beinian studied the man in front of her. The impression was faint at best.

Shi Yishen?

The name wasn’t familiar at all.

Only his face and that little mustache—she was quite sure she’d seen them somewhere before.

She couldn’t think where right now, but in times like this, a person who had the means to rescue her from the situation was surely someone with remarkable standing who wouldn’t be afraid of offending the Mu Corporation.

Noticing how Mu Donglin’s expression was turning uglier by the second, Li Beinian shot Shi Yishen a look of gratitude as she accepted the help. Keeping her tone polite but distant, she replied, “CEO Shi, how do you do.”

Shi Yishen smiled satisfactorily and straightened in an elegant and practiced movement. He suggested, “There’s still some time before the auction. Why don’t we find a good spot and have a chat?”

Li Beinian raised her brow a little further.

She instinctively shifted her gaze to Mu Donglin.

True enough, his expression was like a brewing storm.

He smiled frostily and remarked, “CEO Shi, I’d never have thought that you’d be interested in my ex-fiancé. Do you have a habit of picking up people’s worn shoes?”

Yet another ugly remark.

Shi Yishen’s smile faded. He said seriously, “Eldest Young Master Mu, Miss Li is a person, and everyone has the right to choose to be in a relationship or to break off from one. If there’s any unhappiness between the two of you, you may settle it in private. Tonight is the charity auction event co-organized by Shiguang and Shangzhi. I hope you can show a little respect.”

Shangzhi?

This was co-organized by Shangzhi?

She didn’t even know about it.

But obviously, the secret bosses behind such businesses would never attend these events. It was unlikely that Mu Xichen would turn up.

“Oh?” Mu Donglin exclaimed with a look of surprise. “Are you telling me that our suave young CEO Shi is interested in her?”

“A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman.” The young CEO Shi’s broad smile was accompanied by the reappearance of his deep dimple. He continued, “I’m presently single, and you’re no longer an item with Miss Li. So, why can’t I pursue her?”

“Geez.” Mu Donglin scornfully laughed and threw Li Beinian an unfathomable look. He mumbled, “Aren’t you just so capable.”

Li Beinian smiled faintly. She spoke unhurriedly and seemed indifferent even as she delivered the sarcastic remark, “I can’t say for sure whether I’m a capable person. However, I’d say that Eldest Young Master Mu, on the contrary, is rather disappointing.”

At these words, Shi Yishen started laughing aloud.

Following his lead, the people could no longer suppress themselves and started laughing too.

Mu Donglin eyed Shi Yishen and then Li Beinian. He showed no anger as he remarked, “Is that so. In that case, does my younger brother satisfy you, then?”

“Your younger brother?” Li Beinian put on a look of surprise, as though she hadn’t the faintest idea whom he was talking about. Then, she, too, gave a cryptic reply with a teasing smile, “One only needs to try a failed product once.”

Shi Yishen looked at Li Beinian with interest, his glimmering peach blossom eyes like intoxicating aged wine. He remarked, “Miss Li is indeed an interesting person.”

“True, she’s interesting,” Mu Donglin said, walking up to them. “How could a woman speak so convincingly about having done something which she has never done before?”

Having said that, he leaned towards her and sneered. “Whether I can, whether I’m a failure, have you even tried?”
