But the ones most bewildered were actually Yu Zetao’s couple and Yu Fei.
They first looked at each other, and after ensuring that what Zhou Wang said wasn’t their hallucination, they incredulously turned to Yu Duo.
Especially Yu Zetao, his face was full of question marks.
Yu Duo actually quietly got herself such an impressive boyfriend?
But actually, at this moment Yu Duo was staring blankly at Zhou Wang, her mind was also in a daze...
When, when did I become your woman?
Though they held hands, kissed, Zhou Wang even played with her feet, she was willing to let him play... Uh, just hearing this, it’s indeed hard for them to clear their name, but in Yu Duo’s heart, this should only count as ambiguous, right?
Thoughts in her mind scattering, simultaneously exploding was a kind of huge joy and shyness caught off guard.
He actually, in front of so many people, said I’m his woman!
He’s so shameless... but I’m so happy.
"Duoduo, how come you and Zhou Wang... when did this happen, and why didn’t you say anything just now?"
Ultimately, Yu Fei couldn’t hold back and asked, he only reacted now, no wonder Yu Duo just recklessly wanted to charge over here earlier, turns out it was because she saw Zhou Wang.
This explained from their perspective, Xu Wenqian’s stepping forward, and Zhou Wang’s appearance seemed to find some explanation.
But the biggest doubt in Yu Zetao’s couple and Yu Fei’s hearts was, since Yu Duo has such an impressive boyfriend, why not say so earlier?
"I..."
Yu Duo stammered, incoherently saying: "I didn’t know he’s so impressive... Actually, I mentioned him to you before, the one I said I could borrow ten million from..."
Upon hearing Yu Duo say this, Yu Zetao and others recalled, seeming like a few days ago at home, Yu Duo did say something similar.
But at this moment, Mrs. Yu recalled something, suspiciously: "No, Duoduo, you clearly said that person was your roommate’s boyfriend, how did he become your boyfriend?"
"Did, did I?"
Feeling extremely guilty, Yu Duo didn’t know how to explain for a moment, she could only vaguely said.
When Mrs. Yu wanted to pursue further, Yu Zetao pulled her, seeming like it’s not the time to delve into these matters, after all, Zhou Wang appeared impressive, but this crisis seemed not completely over yet.
"She’s your woman?"
He Jiang also somewhat couldn’t understand, questioning Zhou Wang: "Then why the hell didn’t you say earlier... Wait, she has a boyfriend like you, why does her family still need to beg around?"
Intuition told He Jiang that Zhou Wang had no need to lie to him, which made He Jiang increasingly angry, even starting to suspect whether this was a setup against him, but that Yu Zetao almost drank into the ICU, didn’t seem like acting either...
With a mind unable to comprehend, He Jiang’s head began to hurt.
Zhou Wang didn’t intend to explain to him, just smiled casually, continuing to voice the second issue that He Jiang hadn’t figured out.
"Second, well, that is... I don’t think you have the qualification to be my friend, maybe if your dad came it would be about right, so there’s no question of you saving my face, because you really don’t have much face from me."
He Jiang’s face immediately turned ugly, not bothering with Yu Duo’s matter anymore.
Just because Zhou Wang said those words without any obscenities felt extremely humiliating to him.
No matter how smart and cautious, He Jiang eventually got used to days of looking down on others, plus, he merely feared Zhou Wang, far from being intimidated.
He Jiang’s fists unknowingly clenched, and his face also turned completely gloomy.
"Zhou Wang, I don’t care how amazing you are, but you seem haven’t figured out the situation yet... This is Magic City, you’re standing on my turf!"
Accompanying He Jiang’s words falling, everything seemed arranged, from the stairs on the other side of the hall came the sound of dense and orderly footsteps.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads, upon seeing the silhouettes appearing on the stairs, everyone unconsciously became tense.
The unified uniforms and their solemn faces explained it all.
"Since you damn well don’t appreciate the offer, don’t say I didn’t give you the chance!"
He Jiang pointed at Zhou Wang’s nose, swearing, "I want to see, when you kneel before me later, if you can still act so badass..."
Zhou Wang... ignored him, just lowered his head to glance at his watch again.
Not being paid attention to, He Jiang’s face twisted, just as he was about to say more, the footsteps on the stairs suddenly stopped.
He Jiang glanced back, seeing they didn’t continue approaching, frowned, he took out his phone intending to call his brother-in-law to ask what’s going on, unexpectedly the brother-in-law called first.
"He Jiang, I’ve been treating you well normally, right? Is this how you repay me?"
"Uh, Brother Sheng, where did these words come from..."
A confused He Jiang had no time to ask further before his brother-in-law started cursing.
"Damn it, this time you really screwed me, asking me to clean up your mess with people even your dad can’t provoke?"
"Damn, I’m telling you, if this matter involves me, not to mention my sister, even if King of Heaven came, couldn’t save you... What are you still standing for, retreat!"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, He Jiang became utterly bewildered.
This brother-in-law of his was a man of good nature, normally catered to him every time due to the family ties, from impressions, this was the first time this brother-in-law lost his temper at him, could even say it reached a level of resentment.
He didn’t understand what the brother-in-law meant by "someone even your dad can’t provoke"...
"They’re gone!"
At this moment, amidst exclamations, the large group of silhouettes on the stairs receded as orderly as a tide, as if they never appeared.
When an inexplicable panic had arisen in He Jiang’s heart, urgent footsteps once again echoed from the stairs, immediately a panting silhouette emerged, hastily running toward this side.
It was a wealthy middle-aged man, wearing a well-tailored high-end suit, but due to hurried movement, the originally slicked-back hair had scattered, looking quite disheveled.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, both Xu Qing beside He Jiang and Jian Zhuoran behind Zhou Wang showed startled expressions.
"Mr. He?"
In Magic City, the He Family which could be considered deeply rooted had many representative figures, but within circles, the tacit agreement was usually to call "Mr. He" one person.
That was He Jiang’s father, chairman of the group under He Family, consecutively topped the Magic City’s rich list for years, widely socialized, authority spanning various fields, the He Family’s leader, He Jinglun.
Magic City plays out countless legends every day, and He Jinglun’s history of wealth is undoubtedly most relished by many.
His original name was He Dali, only having a primary education, in his youth coincidentally spotted by Guo Wangshan’s father, then the spokesperson of Jiangbei Guo Family, recruited under as a driver.
After diligently working for the Guo Family for over a decade, with Guo Wangshan’s recommendation, He Dali ventured into business himself, surprisingly thriving, in just twenty years, he established his vast business empire.
Renamed He Jinglun, marrying into another rich family, the family of He Jiang’s brother-in-law, along with the unseen support from Jiangbei Guo Family, one who was a street vendor repairing shoes years back transformed into a top figure within Magic City’s circles.
"Dad... Why, why are you here?"
He Jinglun’s sudden arrival left everyone unable to react, especially his forehead drenched with sweat from the rushing around, and that pale face, all difficult to associate with his usual dignified demeanor.
He Jiang was also especially bewildered, realizing why his brother-in-law mentioned his father, turns out it was because He Jinglun personally came over.
Just as He Jiang asked, He Jinglun reached him, grasping He Jiang’s hand supporting his arm, slightly catching his breath, abruptly shaking off the hand.
As He Jiang wondered, He Jinglun took a deep breath, swung his arm, directly slapped a big smack on He Jiang’s face.
Bang!
He Jinglun showed no mercy, even went all out, catching He Jiang utterly off guard, falling over, blood streaming from his mouth.
But He Jinglun didn’t spare He Jiang a glance, quickly piled his face with the brightest smile, turned and asked:
"May I ask... Who is Mr. Zhou Wang?"
