Ning Lang shook his head calmly, "Senior Brother Jiang is very low-key, I've never heard him mention him."
"Wow!" Yuan Heng chuckled and praised, "The more classy a person is, the more low-key they are. This Senior Brother Jiang is really something!"
His wicked phoenix eyes darted around as he lowered his voice: "The Lin Group felt that Sheng Xuan, their big tree, had fallen, so they immediately sent their remaining two or three daughters to attack Ming Haoyuan, including Lin Huier. Ming Haoyuan is a natural lecher, accepting all comers and having women on both sides. Your Senior Brother Jiang is quite good, though, he remains unmoved by women in his arms."
Ning Lang smiled faintly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
Everyone in Rongcheng's high society knows how the Lin family amassed their fortune. They've used these same tactics to attract business partners for years, so it's nothing new to them.
I never expected that Lin Huier would be so impatient right after Sheng Xuan fell!
Back then, she pitifully chased after him for several years. If she gave up so quickly, it wouldn't seem to match her hidden, innocent heart.
Lin Huier was originally an illegitimate child and lived in a poor old town with her mother, who was a dancer.
When she was around ten years old, she learned to please Lin Zhong and flatter the matriarch in every way. She then successfully moved into the Lin family with her biological mother and became the fourth wife and the eighth young lady.
A little girl who knows how to fight for her future at such a young age has a mind that is far more complex than her weak and pitiful appearance suggests.
A few years ago, Sheng Xuan was traveling between Country S and Country B. She took the opportunity to climb up to Sheng Xuan through their hometown connections.
For some reason, she was involved in several ambiguous rumors, and her name appeared in the conversations of Rongcheng's high society, naturally becoming the focus of attention.
Although Sheng Xuan has a fiery temper and is easily impulsive, he disdains doing anything high-profile. He has been studying abroad for several years without making any news, except for a few vague rumors that have not been clarified.
The reason behind this is obvious—it was most likely Lin Huier who used underhanded tactics.
Ning Lang looked at Xiao Chen, who was waiting with her eyes downcast, and said, "Let her in."
Xiao Chen nodded, closed the door, and left.
Yuan Heng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Why are you looking at that disgusting white lotus? Don't ruin my and Ah Lü's appetite!"
Ah-Lu chimed in, "Appetite! Appetite!"
Ning Lang smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know what kind of show she's going to perform, but it wouldn't hurt to give her some face and listen. Anyway, I'm just killing time."
She had a feeling that Lin Huier wouldn't give up on Sheng Xuan so quickly.
Firstly, she hadn't gained any substantial benefits yet, and secondly, Sheng Xuan's looks and figure, comparable to a big star, were still very attractive to young girls.
A moment later, Lin Huier pushed open the door and came in.
Before she could even stand properly and had finished greeting everyone, she asked with pitiful, red eyes, "Miss Ning, you must have heard about A-Xuan's serious illness, right?"
Ning Lang nodded calmly, speaking as if it were none of his business: "I heard from Uncle Qing that the situation is not good, and the surgery doesn't seem to have been very successful."
Lin Huier sobbed, choking back tears: "I went to see him... but the security guards wouldn't let me in... Uncle Qing said on the phone that I couldn't go into the sterile ward, so I could only wait outside."
"Oh," Ning Lang replied indifferently.
Lin Huier cried bitterly, whispering, "Ah Xuan is so unfortunate... He went bankrupt, he has no money... and now he's been injured in a car accident and is in this state..."
"Heh!" Yuan Heng couldn't help but sneer, "Serves you right!"
Ah-Lu excitedly chimed in, "Serves you right! Serves you right!"
With tears streaming down her face, Lin Huier questioned, "You—how could you be so cruel! Ah Xuan is in this state, and you're still mocking him!"
Yuan Heng shrugged, his smile forced and insincere.
"There's a saying, 'People laugh at poverty, but not at prostitution.' If he goes bankrupt, has no money, and becomes poor, I'll laugh! Don't worry, I won't laugh when he becomes a prostitute."
Lin Huier: "..."
