Chapter 29 - True Love (“So, what does going bankrupt feel like?”) (2)
Mu ZhenYu still wasn’t affected by his words. He merely curved the corner of his mouth and said, “If you really want to find out, perhaps Mr. Qin can try it for himself. But I’d advise against that though. Should you really go bankrupt someday, Miss Liang will need to look for another target all over again.”
Xu WanZhi couldn’t help but chuckle. Mu ZhenYu had always looked like a cold man of few words. She hadn’t expected that to just be his appearance. He wasn’t half bad at dishing it out when he wanted to.
His words had perfectly aggravated Liang ZhiQuan, who immediately stood up to rebut him. “Mr. Mu should watch his words. There’s true love between Sheng and I.”
“True love?” Xu WanZhi finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She giggled and said, “Huanyu had gone bankrupt and I am still standing by his side, believing that he’d treat me nicely. I haven’t even mentioned anything yet and Miss Liang couldn’t help to jump up and explain herself? Where were you when Boss Qin was down on his luck when he was young? As soon as Boss Qin made it rich when he returned from overseas, you couldn’t wait to make up with him again. Could you have been any more obvious? Are you seriously talking about true love right now?”
There was giggling around them after she was done talking.
Everybody was well aware of how the Liang’s was pimping their daughter out. If only Liang ZhiQuan would keep her mouth shut, nobody would say anything about it. But if she were to call that true love, that would certainly seem a bit laughable.
Even with her female lead halo, she was still a little white flower and still not well-liked in the circle.
Liang ZhiQuan, flustered from Xu WanZhi’s speech, took a look at Qin Sheng wordlessly before she seemed to have finally made up her mind on something important. Her face dropped and she said, “I heard that Miss Xu is only staying with Mr. Mu for 50 million yuan…”
“Hey, just a minute ago you asked Mr. Mu how it felt to have gone bankrupt. How are you able to turn around immediately and say he has 50 million yuan.” Xu WanZhi interrupted her loudly before she was done talking. “Miss Liang, I know you want to insult us, but how about something a little more logical? Your face is so big that if we are all sunflowers, you’d be able to produce 3 more pounds of seeds than the rest of us.”
(T/N: “big face” = shameless.)
Everybody around them busted out laughing again.
“You…” Liang ZhiQuan was angry. She stared at Xu WanZhi for a long time but couldn’t come up with anything else.
“ZhenYu, you are here.” Came a young male voice.
Xu WanZhi turned around. It was Bai FeiChen, the star of the day.
Mu ZhenYu nodded slightly at him before he put his arm around Xu WanZhi’s waist, pleased. He raised his glass to those around them and said, “Just some minor personal issues. Sorry to have bothered you all.”
Everybody quickly looked away and the banquet quickly returned to its original cheerfulness.
The Bai’s were also a pretty big family in the area. Qin Shen, as someone from the younger generation, must be nice to them as well. Qin Shen took a step up, lifted his wine glass, and said, “Happy birthday, Boss Bai.”
“Why, thank you,” said Bai FeiChen as he casually glossed over him.
Mu ZhenYu, walking behind Bai FeiChen, tightened his grip on Xu WanZhi. As they were walking, he lowered his head, looked into her eyes, and said, “Huanyu had gone bankrupt and you are still staying with me. True love, huh?”
“I only said that to Miss Liang, not to you.” Xu WanZhi quickly explained herself. “I just want to give this job my best.”
Her soft waist was pressed up tightly against his abdomen. His lips curved upward. Looking deeply at her, he said, “Miss Xu’s acting was amazing. I almost believed you myself.”
