Chapter 1 (2/2)

That man was actually Beicheng Corporation's second son, Tang Jianan.

An Yuesheng raised the magazine and looked again, his eyes almost glued to the paper, hating that the picture was so small. The person in the picture still looked the same as before, a peerless beauty. She was dolled up so extravagantly, the coldness she had three years ago could not be seen.

He stared at the magazine in a daze. Rather than saying he was shocked, it would be more accurate to say that he was in a trance, feeling nothing but disbelief. Beicheng Corporation, Tang Jianian, that was the unreachable dream of countless people, how did she manage to do it?

If his memory wasn't wrong, she only had two qualities that stuck out, one was her beauty, the other was her temper. Tang Jianan this playboy, he could accept her beauty, but could he really accept her temper? Or maybe she was completely reborn?

The main character in this article was Tang Jianan's father, Tang Zhan, and it only briefly mentioned the engagement of Tang family's second son. The woman's background was not mentioned at all. Towards this, An Yuesheng completely understood because she didn't even graduate college, how troubled the article writer must have felt. Didn't someone once say that a woman's greatest dowry was a diploma from a world-cla.s.s university?

He gave a cold smile and tossed away the magazine, raising a cup of coffee that was already slightly cold to his lips, feeling that it was extraordinarily bitter.

These past few years he became fairly prosperous and was naturally different from who he was three years ago. Even so, it hasn't gotten to the point where he could be considered very successful. At times when he felt some satisfaction, he would think of the day where he would be revered by others, until then—now, whenever he thought about this, he couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle and then wouldn't think any further, as if there was a giant blank in his mind. Words had limits but imagination was rich, for one's imagination could be limitless. However, no matter how he imagined, he never imagined this step.

This step came too quickly, he didn't even see it coming. He couldn't help but take the magazine and read it again.

Tang Jianan had clear skin, his face boasting with arrogance, a frivolous air about him, completely dependent on his father's generosity. He looked down on Tang Jianan, but did not dare to down on Tang Jianan's father, Tang Zhan. When a man compares himself to another man, looks are only a small matter, it could be said to be completely insignificant. The most important was power and status. There was only one Tang Zhan in all of Asia, yet there were five sons of Tang Zhan.

However, even as one of the five, Tang Jianan was still someone he would have to spend multiple lifetimes working to reach. Life truly was unfair, if everyone were to start at the same starting line, it would be hard to say that he would lose.

His heart was restless and suddenly saw a phrase in English on the magazine. Translated into Chinese, it meant that personality determines fate. He couldn't help but turn his nose up and sneer: What kind of bulls.h.i.+t meant that personality determines fate, if he and Tang Jianan had the same personality, would that mean that they would have the same fate? Of course not. Personality might determine fate, but only if certain conditions were met.

A lot of things in this world had conditions attached. Who knew if Feng Ping and Tang Jianan also had some secret conditions? Otherwise this woman who had nothing but her looks, how could Tang Jianan accept it?

He didn't know what the reason behind it was and could only feel sorry for Tang Jianan. That's right, Beicheng was a big client of Yuans.h.i.+, and they were currently in the midst of a project regarding land development. Tang Jianan was also one of Beicheng's representatives for this project. Worrying about one of his clients to this extent, there wasn't really a need for him to do so as Yuans.h.i.+ was only responsible for a fifth of the project.

Since both sides had projects they were collaborating on together, there would be many opportunities in the future to interact with each other. With another layer of social connections in front of him, he needed to be even more cautious. Although he thought this way, his hand unconsciously rubbed his necktie, seeming as if he was trying to make it even tighter. Realizing his actions he thought it was quite funny, what did he need to be worried about, it was her who left him. She should be the one who was worried, she had no right to blame him. Besides, if this matter got exposed, it would only serve to be disadvantageous to her.

Thinking up to this point, he felt much better.

It was only when he returned to Shengying City that he realized news about Tang family's second son's marriage was everywhere, on the internet, the newspapers, television, etc. The content was all about trying to uncover this female's background as they continuously speculated. It was always Tang Jianan who was the center of attention in the media, yet this round, he was given the cold shoulder.

In a flash, Feng Ping got the nickname of Cinderella.

She didn't think that way, and relished in the media's attention.
