"What acquaintance?"
Wu Yanping and Zhong Yiyi looked over at the same time.
Wang Qian pointed to Jiang Zhenghua's name on the list, "You can meet the others, but you'd better not meet this one."
"Why?"
Wu Yanping was even more surprised, "Is there anything special about this person?"
"This old man... is not very serious."
Wang Qian wiped away a cold sweat and said, "Of course, you can meet if you want, just keep your distance."
"I'm curious, how did you get to know this person?" Wu Yanping asked with interest.
"Well... that's a long story."
Wang Qian didn't want to say much, after all, it concerned the reputation of Yang Ju and others, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
But Wu Yanping pressed on, "Tell me quickly, why don't you want me to see this person?"
"You really want to know?" Wang Qian frowned.
"certainly!"
Wu Yanping nodded heavily. "I'm really curious about what kind of person the one you despise is."
"What kind of bizarre thinking is this?" Wang Qian was sweating profusely.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. His original intention was to prevent Wu Yanping from being targeted by that old geezer Jiang Zhenghua.
But the more he reminded her, the more interested Wu Yanping became.
That's awkward.
"Hey, hurry up and tell me!"
Wu Yanping said impatiently, "I hate it when people only tell half the story. If you don't tell me, I won't see anyone else, I just have to see this Jiang Zhenghua."
Wang Qian: "..."
Left with no other choice, he had to give a brief account of what had happened during his trip back to the village.
After listening, Wu Yanping said indignantly, "This old man actually took advantage of Yang Ju's mother's serious illness to force Yang Ju to marry him. Doesn't he know how old he is? Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?"
"So you'd better not see this old man."
Wang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have never met this person, it is not difficult to see from these things that he is indeed insidious, despicable, and extremely filthy. He spent so much money just to see you alone, so his motives must not be pure."
"I know that!"
Wu Yanping said with a gloomy face, "Actually, most of the people on the list have bad intentions, which is why I don't really want to see them."
"If you don't want to see me, then don't!"
Zhong Yiyi interjected at the opportune moment: "Although you want to develop your career in the entertainment industry, it's not worth it if the price is too high."
"Yiyi is right!"
Wang Qian wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Career is certainly important, but the most important thing in life is to be happy."
"What's the point of having a successful career if you're not happy?"
"Besides, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, so even if you do nothing, you won't go hungry or cold."
Since both Zhong Yiyi and Wang Qian said so, Wu Yanping didn't insist.
However, as her thoughts raced, she said thoughtfully, "If there's a chance to make that old bastard Jiang Zhenghua pay the price, that's probably what you want to see, isn't it?"
What do you want to do?
Wang Qian suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.
The original intention was to help Wu Yanping avoid a trap, but now it has backfired.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have spoken up to remind him.
However, just when he thought Wu Yanping would continue to press the issue, Wu Yanping shook her head and said, "I'm just asking out of curiosity. If this old man is so lewd, I would definitely keep my distance."
"That's good!"
Wang Qian let out a sigh of relief. "In that case, I wish you a safe journey."
As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"You really don't have time to come to my concert?" Wu Yanping asked.
"If I can make it, I should go!" Wang Qian replied ambiguously.
"All right!"
Although Wu Yanping was somewhat disappointed, she forced a smile and said, "Then I won't see you off. I still need to pack my things and get ready to continue my journey."
"Okay, goodbye!"
Wang Qian smiled at Wu Yanping before turning and leaving.
As he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "Oh, right, there's something else."
"What is it?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Wu Yanping's eyes.
“I remember you had a camera that could record videos, right?” Wang Qian asked.
Wu Yanping's expression froze, and the glimmer of hope that had just appeared in her eyes vanished instantly.
But not wanting Wang Qian to see, she nodded anyway, "Yes, do you want it?"
"If you're not in a hurry, I would really like to borrow it."
"Can!"
Without asking Wang Qian what he was going to do with the box, Wu Yanping walked straight to the shelf next to her, picked up a box, and walked up to Wang Qian, saying, "Here you go!"
"Thanks!"
Wang Qian took the box and turned to leave.
This time, he didn't linger and left the Pearl Hotel not long after.
"Alas, life must have some regrets for it to be considered a worthwhile life?"
Zhong Yiyi suddenly sighed meaningfully.
"Why are you lamenting about life all of a sudden?"
Knowing what Zhong Yiyi meant, Wu Yanping glared at her and urged, "Hurry up and pack your things, we're about to leave."
Then, she picked up the welcome list on the table, pointed to Jiang Zhenghua's name, and said, "I will not see anyone else, but I need to see this person. When we arrive in Linjiang City, you need to make arrangements for me."
"Why?"
Zhong Yiyi was full of confusion. "Didn't Wang Qian just say that this old man is very lewd? Why do you still want to meet him alone?"
Whether Jiang Zhenghua is sleazy or not is none of my business, but...
