Stealing Your Heart Chapter 357

One of them asked, “Do you mean that Mr. Zong’s wife is just an ordinary person?”

All of them couldn’t believe it, finding it inconceivable that the lady Zong Jinghao liked was from an ordinary family.

“Does she have any special talents?” He asked, “Does she do anything especially well?”

It was reasonable for them to doubt that Zong Jinghao would marry an ordinary woman.

The man was one of the nation’s youngest tycoons and extremely good-looking. Also, the rich preferred to marry someone of the same social status to expand their family’s influence.

Real-life was different from the movies. Cinderella-like stories of rags to riches seldom occurred unless one was exceptionally talented.

One would never be spotted or noticed otherwise.

It was indeed a very rare occasion for ordinary girls to marry into rich families.

Guan Jing stared at the employee from the corner of his eye. “You will have to ask Mr. Zong himself if she has any exceptional talents. I’m just an outsider. How would I know any of this?”

The man shot Guan Jing an awkward smile. “We don’t dare to.”

What started as an innocent question about whether Lin Xinyan was capable ended up with Guan Jing making the question sound personal and intimate.

Guan Jing replied indifferently, “In that case, go back to work.”

In truth, he was most afraid of all these people as their never-ending questions might cause him to slip his tongue.

After all, the story behind Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan’s relationship could be described as a long and arduous journey.

It was obvious that Guan Jing wasn’t going to share the details. Hence, most questions were just a waste of time.

There was still a lot of speculation going on as the workers dispersed and got back to work. After all, given how eligible Zong Jinghao was, the man would never choose to be with someone incompetent.

However, Guan Jing stated that the woman wasn’t from any of the prominent families. Therefore, she must have really impressed Zong Jinghao for him to declare her status as his wife in front of the whole office.

Even when he was with He Ruilin, he had never announced it in front of everyone like that.

All he did was admit that they were in a relationship.

There was a big difference between admitting and declaring.

For someone of his status and wealth, declaring his relationship with her in public only showed how much he loved her.

“I can’t believe Mr. Zong is married. That girl must really be something.”

“That’s right. She looks ordinary, but she still managed to seduce him. She must have some tricks up her sleeve,” someone else added.

“What do you mean she looks ordinary?” A male colleague sneered at his female colleague that just spoke. “Compared to Ms. Bai, she is a lot more gorgeous. On top of that, she has come by the company before. She never threw her weight around despite her status. Hence, she is more down-to-earth than Ms. Bai. Don’t be jealous just because she married the boss. What’s so difficult about admitting she is beautiful?”

The unconvinced female colleague was stumped by her male colleague’s tirade.

“I don’t know how that girl got to know the boss. I wonder how she mesmerized him. And here I was, thinking that I stood a chance.”

“Go away; even I don’t fancy you.”

The female colleague slapped her male colleague in jest. “You? You’re the one that’s not good enough for me.”

By then, Guan Jing was exasperated. “Why are you still talking about this? Do you want me to call the boss and ask him to explain himself to all of you?”

It was as Lin Xinyan expected. Once her status was made public, there would definitely be a lot of speculation.

After all, no one had a clue about anything before this.

By making such a sudden announcement, Zong Jinghao would definitely generate a lot of curiosity.

Furthermore, if they knew about the existence of Lin Xichen and Lin Ruixi, the gossips would unfortunately escalate.
