Chapter 123 - Unnamed Woman With No Status (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan immediately looked at Xian Zihao. When she saw a soft smile on his face, she did not know what to think and what was the meaning behind Xian Zihao's words.
Because the two leaders were here, she couldn't ask. She could only nod obediently with a polite smile.
”Isn't that the Shi Family's daughter?” Suddenly, Director Wang saw a figure walking past and immediately smiled as he went to greet her.
No one knew when Shi Zheng had arrived, but it was clear that she had intentionally walked past them. As Director Wang greeted her, she paused and turned back to look at them.
Immediately, her eyes filled with laughter, ”Aiya, look at my eyes, I didn't notice you guys here just now. Director Wang, you've taken care of yourself well these past two years, you're getting younger.”
Director Wang instantly touched his beer belly with a chuckle. ”Miss Shi's mouth, like it's was smeared with honey, haha.”
”Director Yan, you are here too. Good to see you.” Shi Zheng shifted her gaze to Director Yan and walked towards him with a smile.
Director Wang and Director Yan were both elders in their fifties. Their smiles were filled with kindness and politeness.
It was only when Shi Zheng turned to look at Xian Zihao with a smile that she saw his arm wrapped around Jiang Ruolan's waist.
Shi Zheng raised her eyebrows and chuckled, ”President Xian doesn't intend to introduce us?”
Shi Zheng's calmness caused Jiang Ruolan to be slightly surprised. Jiang Ruolan raised her head and met with her (Shi Zheng) gaze without fear. Her gaze met Shi Zheng's smiling eyes that had a hint of disdain.
Jiang Ruolan nonchalantly smiled, ”Hello, Miss Shi. I am Jiang Ruolan. Please take good care of me.”
”Jiang Ruolan?” Shi Zheng arrogantly raised her voice before shifting her gaze to Xian Zihao's face. With obvious doubt in her eyes, she said, ”I don't think I've heard that name before.”
”Ruolan's job is not in the business circles, and we intentionally kept a low profile after we got married. Since Miss Shi was a busy woman, you must have never heard of it.” Xian Zihao glanced at Shi Zheng.
”Marry?” Shi Zheng was startled. A crack finally appeared in the calmness in her eyes, and she quickly returned to her previous expression. She coldly glanced at Jiang Ruolan who was being hugged by Xian Zihao, and snorted with an unkind smile. ”I heard my father mention it, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true.”
”However, with your status, are you really willing to marry an unnamed woman with no such status?” Shi Zheng raised her slender arms disapprovingly and lightly hugged her chest. After Director Wang and Director Yan leave, Shi Zheng sneered as she looked Jiang Ruolan up and down in disdain.
Jiang Ruolan didn't say a word the whole time. She just looked at the arrogant woman in front of her and laughed coldly.
It was true that she had no last name, but she was still much better than someone born with a golden spoon in her mouth and trying to seduce someone else's husband.
In an instant, Jiang Ruolan was confused again.
Since when did she need to brood over a woman like Shi Zheng?
”Miss Shi, this is not a joking thing. You are overstepping your boundaries. What's the relationship between someone's status and love? There is no boundary to true love, let alone such insignificant things like status.” Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows.
”Is that so?” Shi Zheng smiled mockingly and gently pushed her wavy hair behind her neck. She cast a glance at Jiang Ruolan who was smiling widely at Xian Zihao and asked, ”I have something to say to President Xian, can you leave us alone?”
Jiang Ruolan looked at Shi Zheng confidently and did not move. Not only did she not move, but Xian Zihao's hand also lightly clasped around her waist, clearly not intending to let her go.
If her own husband insisted on her status here, why would she leave?
”What does Miss Shi want to say? Ruolan is not an outsider. Just say it directly.” Xian Zihao was still smiling as if nothing had happened. Not that he couldn't tell that Shi Zheng's eyes were burning with anger.
Jiang Ruolan smiled shamelessly. ”That's right, you don't have to treat me as an outsider.”
