Capítulo 1003: Chapter 374: He Came, He Left
The relationship between the two is hard to define. Previously, Zhou Wang had rejected Jiang Minghao’s proposal for cooperation, so it can’t be called good. However, due to Zhou Wang’s current influence in the Beijing Circle, Jiang Minghao wouldn’t fall out with Zhou Wang at this time, so it can’t be called bad either.
Meanwhile, Yan Baiqiu and others also heard Jiang Minghao’s question. Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun were a bit stunned… They probably didn’t expect that Zhou Wang actually knew Jiang Minghao, and it was obviously more than just a nodding acquaintance.
While they were in shock, Zhou Wang had already spoken with a smiling face, “I’m here with my girlfriend to celebrate the birthday.”
“Girlfriend?”
Jiang Minghao looked at Zhou Wang, then at Xia Xiwei behind him, his eyelid twitched.
At this moment, Xia Xiwei naturally wouldn’t just stand there blankly. She cooperatively stepped forward to hold Zhou Wang’s arm and smiled as she waved at Jiang Minghao, “Hello, Mr. Jiang, long time no see.”
Seeing the intimacy between the two, Jiang Minghao’s eyelid twitched again, but what Zhou Wang admired was that he could remain expressionless at this moment.
“Mr. Jiang, are you here to celebrate the birthday too?”
“Yes, Mr. Xia was a comrade-in-arms with my grandfather. He practically watched me grow up…”
“I heard that you and Xixi were once engaged as children, right?”
Zhou Wang chuckled and said, “Mr. Jiang, you don’t have any thoughts about my girlfriend, do you?”
Jiang Minghao fell silent.
Just then, as Yan Baiqiu came to her senses and was about to step forward to say something, she saw Jiang Minghao taking a deep breath and suddenly handing over the gift in his hand to Brother Chen beside him. Then he said to Yan Baiqiu:
“Aunt Qiu, I won’t go inside. Please help me pass on the gift to the old man and wish him a long life as vast as the East Sea and as eternal as the Southern Mountain.”
With that, Jiang Minghao gave a faint smile to Zhou Wang, “Rest assured, Mr. Zhou. I know where I stand… Please do me the honor of a meal at Jingzhao Yin. I’ve reserved a table for a month, and Mr. Zhou, you can call me anytime you’re available.”
After saying that, Jiang Minghao finally nodded to the dumbfounded Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun, then turned around and left without looking back.
This left Xia Xiwei somewhat shocked as well, her gaze at Zhou Wang became much more complex.
She originally thought that Qiu Zeyu might have exaggerated over the phone, but now it seems Qiu Zeyu had been very tactful.
That was the incredibly proud Jiang Minghao!
Even Xia Xiwei couldn’t believe he actually left just like that, and even gave Zhou Wang a smile…
…
Moments later, as they watched Xia Xiwei and Zhou Wang chatting and laughing as they walked past, and seeing the dejected Yan Baiqiu following behind, the auntie and the third sister who had been waiting in the courtyard couldn’t sit still. They hurriedly pulled aside Yan Siyun, who was at the end with a somewhat dazed look.
“No, Siyun, what happened, why did you go outside?”
“Jiang Minghao came…”
Hearing their question, Yan Siyun snapped out of her daze and muttered.
Upon hearing Jiang Minghao came, the auntie and the third sister exchanged glances and saw the blazing flames of gossip in each other’s eyes.
Evidently, Yan Baiqiu’s original plan to dissuade Zhou Wang failed, and undoubtedly Zhou Wang had run into Jiang Minghao. No wonder Yan Baiqiu ran out directly…
With Jiang Minghao’s personality, how could he tolerate his “fiancée” bringing another man home? When they met, it must have been like thunder striking fire, an explosive scene!
For a moment, the two women regretted not chasing after them to watch the drama.
However, before they could further inquire, Yan Siyun followed with another sentence:
“But he left again.”
“Huh?”
The auntie and the third sister were dumbfounded.
