Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1029

As time passed, more and more guests arrived, and the scene became more and more lively.

Suddenly, there was a stir in the lively scene. Everyone's eyes were looking in the same direction. Noticing that, Lily and Fade looked over curiously.

They saw a young woman sporting short hair walking over with a smile.

The guests around her all smiled and greeted respectfully when they saw the young woman.

Even the big shots who had been dismissive of Fade previously put on a respectful front, flattering even, in front of that young woman.

Such a scene naturally made Fade and Lily a little curious.

Lily couldn't help but ask, "Who is that? Why are they all reacting like this?"

Fade frowned slightly as he stared at the young woman intently. She looked a bit familiar. However, he couldn't remember who the woman was.

Just as Fade was thinking about it, the people next to him started talking.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Sasha actually came to this meeting," a man said.

"Sasha is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and she is very much liked by her grandfather. Isn't it obvious that she would attend this occasion?" Another man answered.

"That's right, Miss Sasha rarely attends such events recently," the man said.

Fade and Lily immediately understood when they overheard the discussion.

The young woman was Sasha, the granddaughter of the richest man in Jade City, Fenrir Li. She was the daughter of Martin Li.

As the richest man in Jade City, the Li family had tremendous influence. As the eldest daughter of the Li family, Sasha was loved greatly by her grandfather. She was also a very capable person. Hence, she naturally attracted everyone's attention.

It was no wonder that Sasha became the centre of attention as soon as she appeared.

Looking at Sasha, Lily nodded slightly. She began thinking to herself. The Chief Executive had invited so many businessmen, and even the eldest daughter of the Li family. She wondered what was going on. However, at that moment, Fade's mind was on something else.

He still remembered that a year ago, when he had been returning from Hanover City to the Cloud Clan to learn about the Cloud-reaching Skill, he had met Miss Sasha on the mountain.

At that time, Miss Sasha had attempted to coerce Donovan, the guardian of Cloud Clan, to treat her grandfather's illness. However, Fade had stopped her. There had been a conflict between them. In the end, Sasha's subordinate, Uncle Fenrir, died in Fade's hands.

With that thought in mind, Fade suddenly felt that the air around him had become heated.

He looked up to see everyone's eyes on him.

The reason was because Miss Sasha was walking towards him.

Lily was both curious and nervous. She tugged the corner of Fade's clothes, and said, "Sasha is coming over, what is she going to do? How do we respond?"

Fade's complexion was slightly stony. He gently squeezed Lily's hand, as he said, "Lily, don't worry. No matter what she wants to do, you don't have to be afraid as long as I'm here."

At that moment, Sasha stood before them.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Lily and said, "This is the manager of the famous Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, right?"

A smile appeared on Lily's face. She nodded, and said, "Yes, I am Lily Wei. Hello, Miss Li."

Lily politely stretched out her right hand, ready to shake hands with Sasha.

However, Sasha's expression changed. The smile on her face disappeared. Her eyes departed from Lily, ignoring Lily's handshake, and were fixed on Fade.

Stuck in an awkward situation, the smile on Lily's face stiffened.

Immediately, she withdrew her outstretched arm.

Looking at Fade, Sasha's eyes narrowed slightly. She deliberately lowered her voice as she said, "You must be Mr. Chen."

Fade seemed to not have heard her at all. He didn't even spare her a glance.

At his behaviour, Sasha's expression soured.

Many of the businessmen around were indignant. They began yelling at Fade.

"Fade, can't you see the lady talking to you?"

"Why is President Chen doing this to Miss Sasha?"

"What an idiot. Just because you are doing well recently, you ignore Miss Li. I think you're courting your own death," chimed in a man.

"Hurry up and apologize to Miss Sasha," one of them said.

Amidst the shouts, Sasha glared at Fade. Her voice grew in intensity, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Fade turned his gaze to Sasha, looked her up and down, and said coldly, "Do I know you?"

Sasha raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "It seems that your memory is not very good. Do you still remember what happened at the Cloud Mountain a year ago?"

Hearing her bring up that incident, Fade was certain that Sasha had no good intentions.

He pretended to think for a few seconds before he suddenly said, "Oh, it turned out to be that incident! I remember that I solved a problem at the time. He was a nobody, so I didn't take it seriously."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sasha's expression turned even gloomier. She glared at Fade fiercely, and she said coldly, "Although Uncle Fenrir was only a subordinate of my family, he has been in my family for more than 20 years. We will never forget what happened to him."

Fade waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly,

"Come on then. I am never afraid of revenge."

After speaking, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere became tense.

The surrounding guests listened to the conversation between them, and they vaguely picked up a thing or two. Their expressions became a little strange.

"Uncle Fenrir, I know him. He was the steward of the Li family, and he had quite a high position. I haven't seen him this year. I didn't know he had died," a man said.

"Moreover, he was actually killed by someone," another man said.

"Listening to their conversation, it seems that Fade killed him," a person said.

"How dare he come to Jade City after he killed someone from the Li family. I think he is looking for death," one of them said.

"Not only did he kill a man but he is so arrogant. He would certainly die," a man said.

The voices of the crowd made the atmosphere between them more tense. It was like a battle waiting to start.
