Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 290 He Shuyi

Xie Jincheng shook hands with Lai Kang, then leaned over and gently put his arm around Shen Qianhe's shoulders, introducing her gently and formally: "This is my wife, Shen Qianhe."

Shen Qianhe smiled slightly and extended his hand elegantly: "Hello, Chief Inspector Lai."

Lai Kang held her hand and nodded politely: "Mrs. Xie, nice to meet you. Mr. Xie is so lucky to have such an elegant wife like you."

Shen Qianhe smiled, with a hint of humility in his voice: "Inspector Lai, you are too kind."

Lai Kang looked at Xie Jincheng and said, "I've heard that you are young and promising. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Xie Jincheng: "You are the real leader in the industry. Your achievements in the police field over the years are obvious to all."

Lai Kang said with a smug look on his face: "Mr. Xie is too polite. I am just doing my duty. It is my honor to make some contribution to the society."

Xie Jincheng turned to He Shuyi again, and said in a gentle manner: "Is this Mrs. Lai? I have heard that Inspector Lai has a good wife. After meeting her today, I find that she is indeed as good as her reputation."

Ho Shu-yi smiled politely: "Mr. Xie is too polite. I just try my best to support his work. I can't say I am a good wife."

After a few pleasantries, Xie Jincheng brought up the topic of the recent election. "Inspector Lai, I heard that you are planning to run for Congress recently. How is the progress?"

Lai Kang was obviously very interested in this topic. A gleam flashed in his eyes and he nodded: "Mr. Xie is well-informed. The candidacy is indeed in preparation, but it is still in the preliminary stage and many details need to be perfected."

Xie Jincheng smiled and said, "Inspector Lai's achievements in the police force are obvious to all. If he can enter Congress, he will definitely make greater contributions to society."

"Mr. Xie, you are too kind. However, running for election does require support from all sides, especially from young talents like Mr. Xie. It would be great if you could give some advice."

Xie Jincheng said, "Okay, I also have some ideas that I want to discuss with you."

As they talked, they walked towards the corner of the banquet hall.

Lai Kang's attention was completely attracted by Xie Jincheng, and he temporarily ignored He Shuyi beside him.

When Shen Qianhe saw Lai Kang leaving, he pretended to be intimate and took He Shuyi's arm, and whispered: "Mrs. Lai, I have always admired you. Inspector Lai's achievements today are inseparable from your support."

Ho Shu-yi said with some emotion: "It is natural for a couple to support each other. It's just that it hasn't been easy for him these years."

Shen Qianhe turned sideways and gestured to Zheng Huan who was standing beside him. He smiled and said, "This is my assistant and studio manager, Zheng Huan. She is the backbone of our studio. We just held an exhibition recently and the response was very good. I wonder if you have seen it?"

Zheng Huan stepped forward and extended his hand politely: "Hello, Mrs. Lai, it's an honor to meet you today."

He Shuyi held her hand and smiled gently: "Ms. Zheng, you are too polite. I am also interested in art, but I don't have much chance to get in touch with it. I wonder what the theme of your exhibition is?"

Zheng Huan smiled and replied: "It is about the integration of nature and humanity. We hope to show the harmonious coexistence of man and nature through paintings. If Mrs. Lai is interested, you can come to our studio to visit."

He Shuyi's eyes flashed with interest, and she nodded and said, "That's great. I have always liked paintings with this theme. I will definitely visit when I have time."

The three of them talked about everything from art exhibitions to food, and from food to fashion. The topics were light-hearted and enjoyable. Ho Shuk-yee gradually let down her guard and a rare smile appeared on her face.

She held Shen Qianhe's hand and said affectionately, "Qianhe, I didn't expect that we get along so well and have such a happy chat."

"Yes, Sister Shuyi, I also feel that I can talk to you very well. Your insights into art have really benefited me a lot."

He Shuyi waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, no, I was just talking casually. Compared to professionals like you, I am just showing off my skills in front of an amateur."

The three of them were chatting animatedly, and the topic unknowingly turned to several major events that had happened in the capital recently.

He Shuyi paused slightly and gently shook the champagne glass in her hand.

Her eyes fell on Shen Qianhe's face, with an imperceptible temptation in her eyes, and her tone was gentle but meaningful: "Qianhe, I heard that your father was arrested because of the company's affairs. If you need anything... I can ask my husband to help you inquire about the situation."

Although Ho Shuk-yee appears gentle and peaceful in appearance, and her every move reveals a temperament of being at peace with the world, deep in her heart she has an extremely keen political sense.

Her father is an influential congressman. She has been with her father since she was a child, witnessing the changing situation in the power field and learning how to handle complex situations with ease.

She knows everything about the open and covert struggles among politicians and the delicate balance of interest exchanges.

Although she has never been directly involved in politics, her vision and insight have long surpassed ordinary people.

Today, Lai Kang is at a critical moment in his campaign for Congress.

Although he is well-known in the police force, competition in the political arena is far more complicated than in the police force.

To stand out in an election, personal ability and reputation alone are not enough; strong background support and resource integration are also needed.

The Xie family, to which Xie Jincheng belongs, is one of the most powerful families in Beijing. Not only does it play an important role in the business world, it also has deep connections and influence in the political arena.

If Lai Kang could get the support of the Xie family, his campaign would undoubtedly be much smoother.

After listening to He Shuyi's words, Shen Qianhe raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Thank you, Sister Shuyi, but the reason my father was arrested was not only because of his poor management of the company, but also because of his own lifestyle problems. So, let's sentence him as he should."

Hearing Shen Qianhe say this, He Shuyi was not surprised.

Her mother's family lives in the same neighborhood as Shen Wenyuan's family, and she has heard a lot of rumors about the Shen family before.

She had heard rumors about Shen Wenyuan helping his mistress to get to the top and mistreating his own daughter.

But she never liked to meddle in other people's family affairs, so she never asked more questions.

He Shuyi looked at Shen Qianhe and sighed softly, "You sisters have really suffered over the years. By the way, I remember you have a younger sister, right? Does she have a heart disease? How is she now?"

Shen Qianhe's eyes softened slightly when he heard his sister's topic. "Thank you, Sister Shuyi, for your concern. My sister has already had a heart transplant and is now receiving treatment at a sanatorium in Hong Kong City."

After hearing this, He Shuyi smiled with relief, "Oh, that's good. I hope she gets well soon. We have made a friend today. If you need any help in the future, just tell me."
