Seeing Yang Juehuan's gesture, Shu Ya obediently nodded and walked over this way.
"Miss Shu, allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Hou Lin, general manager of Mingyang Entertainment, and this is Mr. Wang Jinde, assistant to the chairman of Mingyang Heavy Industries." When she came to Yang Juehuan, Miss Xu hesitated. She held such rich young masters in contempt, but she also understood that on someone else's turf she could not afford to be too dismissive. So she said, "This is Yang Ce, Mr. Yang."
"Hello, President Hou, Assistant Wang." Shu Ya nodded to Hou Lin and Wang Jinde, then turned to Yang Ce and extended her hand with a smile. "How do you do, Mr. Yang Ce."
"How do you do." Yang Ce frowned. What was Shu Ya playing at? He had told her to pretend she did not know him, and here she was, ignoring everyone else's hand and shaking only his.
Surely she wasn't afraid he would silence her for good? That was the thought that crossed Yang Ce's mind, though his face betrayed nothing. He reached out politely, shook her hand, and let go at once.
Even Miss Xu standing nearby was taken aback. Shu Ya had always turned her nose up at the rich young men who pursued her—let alone touching skin to skin in a handshake, she would not even spare them a word more than necessary.
How could she know that a handshake with Yan was nothing at all—in the old days they had often held hands.
"You must all be tired. We've already booked the hotel, so let's go and rest first, then work out the details of the concert. We still have three days before it opens—there's no need to rush." Hou Lin could see that Shu Ya and her party were rather worn out, so he spoke up.
"Miss Shu, what do you think?" Naturally Miss Xu had to defer to Shu Ya.
"All right, then. Let's all go to the hotel first." What concerned Shu Ya now was not rest, but why Yang Ce had come to meet her at the airport.
Could her guess be right? Mingyang Heavy Industries—was it really the company of Yang Ce's father, Yang Juehuan? Now it seemed highly likely. Otherwise, why would Yang Ce be here?
On the way here, Shu Ya had been in a state of excitement the whole flight. After so many years away from Songjiang, she had finally set foot on this land again. Of course, that was not the main thing. What excited her most, what she could scarcely contain, was that on this trip to Songjiang she might see the man she thought of day and night—her only love.
So Shu Ya, who ordinarily dozed a little on every flight, had for the first time in her life not slept at all. She had been restless on the plane, like a child on her first flight.
This struck Miss Xu, her manager, as very strange. But since Shu Ya would not rest, she could not rest either, and had to sit and talk with her. That in turn left the other staff members unable to go off and rest on their own—which was why the whole party looked a little the worse for wear when they got off the plane.
As she disembarked, Shu Ya was still wondering: when would she see him? She prayed in her heart that the very first person she saw upon setting foot on Songjiang soil would be him.
To be continued.
692. Shu Ya's Thoughts
Of course, Shu Ya was only daydreaming; she did not truly expect to see Yang Ce the moment she got off the plane. After all, her status and her looks were not what they had been in those years—Yang Ce might pay her too much attention.
Even if Yang Ce were a fan of hers, he would not possibly come to the airport to welcome her. Yet to Shu Ya's surprise, Yang Ce really had appeared. She did not know why he had come, but it was obvious that Yang Ce certainly did not know her true identity.
Perhaps he was there on behalf of the Mingyang Company, Shu Ya thought.
Hou Lin had already notified the airport in advance. To ensure Shu Ya's safety, a great many Mingyang Company security men were stationed inside.
