"I have heard of rumors that you, Mr. Huang, went sightseeing together with a lady. It is true after all, is she the one?" Zhu Qianlan stood high and mighty looking down at her visitors. With a slightly mocking tone, she said, "I thought you are into women that are a little more..."
Zhu Qianlan ruffled her hair and smiled. "I didn't know that you like young girls, Mr. Huang. That's the thing with men, they are powerless in front of young girls. Is she still underage? I wouldn't think that you..."
With Zhu Qianlan's attitude and expression, lightly-raised eyebrows, an arrogant smile, and an unconcealed look of contempt, it was enough for others to fill in the blanks.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding, Ms. Zhu. Then again, I have no obligation to explain." Huang Chengjing looked at Jiang Yao. "If I married a little early, my daughter may have been just as grown-up as her. It is in a man's nature to appreciate beauty. Yet, I'm not interested in the things you were insinuating. I know you are busy today, please excuse us, Ms. Zhu."
Huang Chengjing led Jiang Yao away.
Jiang Yao was silent during the exchange but she knew that Zhu Qianlan saw her as a love rival now.
When she turned her head back, she saw the sinister expression on Zhu Qianlan. Perhaps expecting Huang Chengjing to not turn his head, she did not conceal any of the rage and menace on her face, even when she met Jiang Yao's gaze.
"I'm so sorry that you had to go through this." Huang Chengjing sighed and apologized, before explaining, "I knew Ms. Zhu when I first got into the business. She helped me a lot but in return, she wanted to marry me. That is something I cannot agree to."
