Lu Yuqing did not expect those words coming out of Jiang Yao's mouth. She tapped Jiang Yao's head and said, "Why do I feel like I have a daughter now?"
And then she laughed. "I don't think Mr. Huang is old, at all. He's only around thirty years old, right? How sad will he be if he hears what you have to say?"
As for Jiang Yao's notion that Huang Chengjing had ulterior motives, Lu Yuqing chose to stay silent.
She had seen people from all walks of life, even more so than Jiang Yao, and could easily discern the good characters from the bad ones.
Her only blunder came in the form of Zhao Zhuangzong.
She was very much aware of Huang Chengjing's intention, but she did not want to acknowledge them. She did not need a man to do great things in the world, and she did not plan to look for one, lest he impeded her freedom.
Sometimes, perhaps being alone was the better, at least it brought fewer troubles.
Thus, she did not immediately give an answer to Huang Chengjing. She wanted to find out more about him, whether he was a reasonable man who could distinguish his private life and work life.
However...
Lu Yuqing rested her gaze on Jiang Yao. "You said that Mr. Huang was trying to steal me away from you, why? You wanted me to work for you?"
