To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
"But after returning to China, she not only didn't restrain herself, but became even more outrageous. She spent her days hanging out with playboys in various entertainment venues, and she changed boyfriends every few days. There's nothing wrong with dating, and it's not a problem with dating a lot and changing quickly, but the men she dated were all spoiled brats who changed women faster than clothes. What good men could there be? A couple of years ago, I heard that she got pregnant after dating the son of the Cao family. The Cao family didn't want her to marry into the family because of her messy behavior, but she didn't seem to care. She turned around and had an abortion."
In the latter half of last year, she got together with the son of Yaohui Group again and became pregnant again. The son of Yaohui Group was older, and the chairman and his wife were already anxious about his marriage, but he never listened to his parents' arrangements and kept going out to brothels. Suddenly, he found out that he was pregnant. No matter what, the other party was still the daughter of the Yao family. Although it was a bit chaotic, they had a child after all. In addition, the son of Yaohui really liked her, so the old couple did not stop them. Instead, they were very enthusiastic about arranging the wedding for the two of them.
Unexpectedly, the elderly couple were extremely anxious, but she herself didn't care. Her attitude remained neither agreeing nor refusing, and she just kept dragging it out.
As time dragged on, the child's biological father was revealed. It turned out the child wasn't the son of the Yaohui Group's heir. How could that he tolerate such an insult? In a fit of rage, he released many of her past private photos and videos. Chairman Yao, furious, sent people to forcibly take her home and give her a good scolding. Unexpectedly, she still wouldn't admit her mistake and had a huge argument with Chairman Yao, which caused her to lose her unborn child.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman outside the window, Song Mai's expression was somewhat indescribable. It was really hard for her to connect the beautiful woman in front of her with the person Manager Xu had described.
"Then what?"
"And then? What else? Then Yaohui Group and the Yao family had a complete falling out, and she and that young master completely cut off all contact. However, this matter caused such a big uproar that the photos and videos spread like wildfire. You know, when people gossip, they can dig up anything. There are always some busybodies in their circle of young masters and heiresses. They even dug up all the photos of her doing things abroad. In an instant, she became the laughing stock of the entire upper-class circle in Nandu City, and her reputation was completely ruined."
Didn't you hear her say that Manager Ji's parents introduced them to each other on a blind date? It seems her parents have a very good relationship with the Yao family, so they couldn't possibly be an ordinary family. He's surnamed Ji, and his mother's surname is Meng; I'd guess he's probably from that Ji family.”
Upon hearing this, Song Mai ran through the Ji family in her mind...
"The Ji Group?"
She remembered that the Ji Group was in the new energy vehicle business, and she had previously attended the Ji Group's new product launch event, where Chairman Ji and his wife, Madam Meng, were both present.
Song Mai just couldn't understand it.
"If he is the son of the Ji family, how could Chairman Ji and Mrs. Meng introduce such a woman to their son for a blind date? They couldn't possibly know nothing about Yao Qianyu, could they?"
Manager Xu shrugged.
"That's hard to say. The relationships among these wealthy families are very complicated. Who knows what the reasons are? Maybe they made some kind of deal. Or maybe the Ji family is much more complicated than we imagine. Chairman Ji and Mrs. Meng also have their own considerations. Don't forget, no matter what, Yao Qianyu is still the eldest daughter of the Yao family. Maybe it's some kind of business marriage."
Song Mai was still puzzled: "But don't Yao Qianyu's parents care about her? How can parents let their daughter act so recklessly outside?"
"Chairman Yao divorced his wife years ago. His wife has been living abroad for many years and doesn't care about their daughter. Chairman Yao later remarried and married a girl who is more than 20 years younger than him. Yao Qianyu's relationship with her father is not good either. Her father doesn't seem to care about her much. If the matter hadn't become too big and the whole high society circle knew about it and disgraced the Yao family, he probably wouldn't care how she lives in public."
"So that's how it is."
It's no wonder that Ji Feng was so resistant; after all, who could accept that their blind date was like this?
Thinking of what Ji Fenghe said in the private room, "Everyone knows what kind of person Yao Qianyu is," Song Mai finally understood why he said that after listening to Manager Xu talk about Yao Qianyu.
Manager Xu watched Ji Fenghe walk towards the two of them and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Tsk tsk tsk, he hid it so well. I've worked with him for several years and I never knew he was the young master of the Ji family. It's true that we're all just working people, but he comes from a wealthy family and I'm from a poor one."
Song Mai: "..."
Song Mai couldn't understand why, if he really was the young master of the Ji family, he would hide his identity in Yunxing.
Wouldn't it be better to work at your own company?
Just as she was pondering, Ji Fenghe had already pushed open the door and entered the coffee shop.
"Have you finished drinking?"
Manager Xu nodded repeatedly: "We've finished drinking. Let's go back."
"good."
Ji Fenghe curled the corners of his lips.
"I'm sorry for taking up your time earlier. It's just a personal matter that you had to see."
Manager Xu is a shrewd person; how could he not understand something when he's in charge of public relations?
He immediately feigned ignorance.
"Hey, we're all colleagues, why are you being so polite? What are you talking about? It's normal for parents to arrange blind dates at this age, it's nothing, everyone understands. My parents often urge me too, I'm even older than you. Last time they said I either have to find someone on my own or accept their introductions, otherwise they'll kick me out of the house. A few days ago, a relative introduced me to someone, but she's not as pretty as you."
Ji Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of inquiry, then he smiled calmly and gently.
"You like it? Or I can introduce it to you."
Manager Xu finished the coffee in his cup in one gulp.
"How could she possibly be interested in me? I'm several years older than her. Look at that Hermes bag she was carrying—it's the latest model in rare leather. Either she comes from a good family or she has a high income. Girls like that wouldn't even look at me. It has to be you—young, promising, and handsome. Otherwise, why would she have followed me all the way to the airport?"
Song Mai shook her head silently to herself. Sure enough, people who work in public relations are not ordinary. If she hadn't heard Manager Xu say so much just now, she would have thought that Manager Xu was completely unaware of anything and didn't even know Yao Qianyu.
A thousand people, a thousand faces; ever-changing; he's a real old fox, incredibly shrewd!
Ji Fenghe picked up the scarf draped over the back of the chair and handed it to him, his smile not reaching his eyes, but with a deeper meaning in them: "Manager Xu is always making fun of people."
