50 NOT A PROBLEM (2/2)
”I called you Ah-Ah AH-FENG.” With that final shout, she rushed off to the little embarrassed girls' room.
Zhong Feng felt that this woman was too childish. Perhaps she had not had a chance to be spoiled when she was younger. Didn't people always say that if you did not do childish things when young, you would end up doing them as a grown up? However, it was also part of her charm.
After she disappeared, he chuckled to himself.
In a certain restaurant in another part of the city, two people who did not have much in common faced each other. It was not the first time they had met, and it was unlikely to be the last. One of the companions was an elegant woman who exuded power and grace that came from growing up in the best conditions. Opposite her was a plain looking girl with a made up face and in pretty but ordinary clothes.
Though this strange couple was not in too weird, several looks had drifted to them. Some of the other people in the restaurant whispered in conspiratorial tones. There was no end to speculations about what the famed eldest miss of the Zhong family was doing with this commoner of commoners in a high-end dining spot.
”Jian Ru, I am glad that you could join me for a late lunch. I have been meaning to contact you, but I seem to get busier every day. I hope I did not interfere with your weekend plans.” The beautiful woman spoke with a subtle smile.
”It is not a problem, Ms Zhong. It is my pleasure.” The other person replied with a wide smile.
There was silence as a young woman delivered their food and beverages. During this time, Zhong Mian looked at her lunch companion with dissatisfaction. She could not seem to like her even though she had seemed kind enough during that gala. It was as if there was a snake lurking behind her eyes even when she smiled sweetly.
Unfortunately, Zhong Mian did not feel as if she had a choice regarding associating with Jian Ru. After all, it was impossible for her to place her own people in Etude Technologies to watch over her brother. Every time she had tried, Zhong Feng had discovered them immediately and eliminated them before they could be of use.
”Jian Ru, I called you because I wanted to thank you for your help during that incident.” She said delicately.
”It was no problem.I was just doing what anyone would in my situation. I hope everything worked out.” She spoke with a questioning look in her eyes.
Zhong Mian saw the need to know in the woman's eyes. However, she ignored it. How could she speak of her family's matters to a stranger? More importantly, she was not blind. It was obvious that Jian Ru had some intention towards her brother. Luckily, this made her the perfect tool to keep that Hu Lei from messing with Feng'er.
”Everything worked out. I was thinking of taking you to do a little shopping as a thank you.” Her response came with a kind look.
Jian Ru's eyes burned with greed when she heard of this. When a woman from the richest family in the country offered to take one shopping, she would not be buying ordinary things. The allure was strong. However, she was playing a long game, so she had to offer a refusal.
”I couldn't possibly accept a gift for doing nothing. I feel like I do not deserve any reward for acting too late.” She spoke with wryness.
”You deserve it for being so kind to my brother. Besides, you will let me know if anything else happens, right?” Zhong Mian smiled brilliantly.
