Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Wei wanted to deduct Secretary Jiang’s salary.
Aren’t you an expert in love?
Since he was an expert in love, why were his moves so lousy?
When Secretary Jiang received Jiang Wei’s message, he knew that things were bad.
She replied: [President Jiang, in my opinion, you should apologize honestly and tell that lady your feelings.]
Jiang Wei was speechless.
Jiang Wei: [What if I’m rejected?]
Secretary Jiang wanted to say: That’s because you’re not charming enough. However, he definitely couldn’t say that. After thinking about it, Secretary Jiang said: [Why don’t you bring someone along too and provoke her at the end? If her reaction is still so calm this time, then you might as well reveal your feelings to her. If she still refuses, then there’s nothing I can do.]
Jiang Wei felt that Secretary Jiang’s words made sense. After thinking about it, he finally called Hua Wushuang.
When Lu Lingyu arrived at the clubhouse, he let go of Fang Yuqing’s hand. This made Fang Yuqing heave a sigh of relief. Lu Lingyu said, “You’re on a date with me today. You can’t think about other men.”
Stunned, Fang Yuqing said, “…Of course.”
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the door of the private room.
Fang Yuqing heard the shouts of young people inside. It was obvious that they were full of energy. They should be having a good time. When Lu Lingyu brought Fang Yuqing into the room, there were people singing, people playing with their phones, people chatting, and people playing poker.
Lu Lingyu’s arrival caused a short silence in the room.
“Fifth Lu, you brought someone?”
Some of Lu Lingyu’s close friends looked up at him and asked, “This person looks familiar. Is she Miss Fang?”
Fang Yuqing did not attend such gatherings often. When she was young, she had even attended some important banquets with Xu Pingfei. Later on, she went overseas and did not even have the chance to attend banquets. Hence, not many people knew Fang Yuqing. Everyone only felt that this person looked a little familiar.
Lu Lingyu hugged Fang Yuqing’s shoulder and told everyone frankly, “This is Yuqing, the G.o.ddess I’m chasing. You can’t scare her.” He first confirmed Fang Yuqing’s ident.i.ty and then made it clear that he was chasing her. His goal was to tell everyone that Fang Yuqing was the person he was chasing after, so they had to give her face.
Fang Yuqing’s heart warmed, and she had a different opinion of Lu Lingyu.
Before seeing him, Fang Yuqing, like everyone else, thought that Lu Lingyu was a playboy with a messy private life. When she saw him, she realized that although this person liked to play around, he was not a bad person.
Of course, they could be friends, but not lovers.
She did not like such a boy.
“Ah…” Hearing Lu Lingyu say it so seriously, everyone was a little surprised. Other than being surprised, they also felt that it was rare. “Have you become a good person?” Everyone knew how unrestrained Lu Lingyu used to be. This was the first time he admitted that he was chasing a girl. How could they not be surprised?
Lu Lingyu only smiled and did not explain.
Seeing this, no one continued to tease them about their relations.h.i.+p.
Just as Lu Lingyu had said before, his friends loved to play, but they knew how to respect others. They could tease Lu Lingyu and Fang Yuqing, but they would not do so.
Fang Yuqing was quite comfortable.
She did not dare to drink strong alcohol, so she only drank champagne, which was a low alcohol content. Fang Yuqing took a sip of champagne and carefully sized up the people present. She looked around at Lu Lingyu’s friends and actually realized that there was someone she knew.
It was a man wearing gla.s.ses and a windbreaker. He was not handsome, but he had a good temperament. Fang Yuqing had seen him at Jiang Wei’s gathering. His name seemed to be… Song Zhi?
Noticing Fang Yuqing’s gaze, Song Zhi raised his gla.s.s and smiled at her.
Fang Yuqing was stunned for a moment before raising her gla.s.s and drinking with him.
Song Zhi drank some wine, lowered his head, and quickly contacted Jiang Wei on WeChat.
Song Zhi: [d.a.m.n, Old Jiang, guess who I saw at Lu Lingyu’s party!]
Song Zhi: [I’ll scare you to death!]
Song Zhi: [Old Jiang, the woman you like is about to become someone else’s woman…]
Jiang Wei: [Where?]
Song Zhi: [?]
Jiang Wei: [Which room?]
Song Zhi subconsciously replied to the room number.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
The door opened and Jiang Wei walked in with a woman in a white dress with a gray knitted shawl on her shoulders. Who else could it be but Jiang Wei and Hua Wushuang? Song Zhi almost blacked out. He could not help but complain in his heart: Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, you’re courting death!
He dedicated a sad song to Young Master Jiang.
Hua Wushuang even put on an especially exquisite night banquet makeup tonight. Jiang Wei had asked her out once a while ago and had been neglecting her ever since. Hua Wushuang was about to be disheartened when Jiang Wei suddenly asked her out again. Hua Wushuang valued tonight’s date very much.
Her outfit looked low-key, but it was not simple.
Whether it was the simple white dress or the shawl on her shoulders, they were all very tasteful. The Hua family was considered rich, but in Binjiang City, where there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and there was no lack of rich people, her family was indeed not outstanding. However, the two daughters of the Hua family were both as beautiful as flowers and were socialites.
Hua Wushuang’s sister, Hua Wuxia, married the Lin family in Haicheng. The Lin family was originally a n.o.ble family, but two years ago, her brother-in-law was exposed to be unfaithful. Not long after, he was disciplined by the Shuanggui system. The Lin family fell, and Hua Wuxia did not remarry. The Hua family lost their backer, so they placed all their new hope on Hua Wushuang.
The Jiang family was one of the three largest families in Binjiang City. Jiang Wei was young and handsome. He was a rare young man with outstanding looks and ability. Hua Wushuang wanted to marry him. Firstly, it was because of the Jiang family’s family background, and secondly, it was because Jiang Wei was outstanding.
Hua Wushuang smiled as she stood in front of Jiang Wei, who was wearing a black suit. They did look compatible.
Hua Wushuang’s smile was impeccable, but when she noticed Fang Yuqing sitting on the long sofa, her smile froze slightly. A few seconds later, it reappeared.
She realized that Fang Yuqing was always present when Jiang Wei asked her out.
Hua Wushuang was not naive. If she still could not figure out what Jiang Wei was planning, then she had lived in vain for the past twenty years.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Wushuang held Jiang Wei’s hand and sat down with him.
Tonight’s situation was not organized by Lu Lingyu, but by a young man surnamed Huang. After Jiang Wei sat down, he said to Huang Bin, “Big Bin, I heard that you were here. I happened to be here to talk about something, so I came over to sit.”
Huang Bin was naturally happy.
“Young Master Jiang is thinking highly of me by coming.”
Huang Bin handed Jiang Wei two wine gla.s.ses.
Hua Wushuang poured a cup for Jiang Wei and half a cup for herself. Jiang Wei glanced at Fang Yuqing and saw that Fang Yuqing was staring at the people playing cards. Lu Lingyu’s cup was already empty, but she had no intention of refilling it for him.
Jiang Wei felt inexplicably happy.
