Hearing this, the people around all cast their gazes on Wang Pingjin. He felt that every step was extremely difficult. He squirmed to Feng Chengyuan's side, feeling as if sitting on pins and needles.
After the two exchanged a few words of greeting, seeing that Feng Chengyuan didn't seem to be holding him accountable, Wang Pingjin finally let go of the heart that had been hanging in his throat. He tentatively poured a glass of wine for Feng Chengyuan.
Feng Chengyuan took the glass but didn't drink it immediately. He gently swirled the glass in his hand, and the red wine swayed. In a low voice, he slowly said, "It's been a long time since I saw Xiaoqian. How is she?"
Wang Pingjin didn't even blink an eye and replied with a smile, "She's fine. Everything is okay. Now, Xiaoqian either goes shopping with her sisters or paints and practices calligraphy every day. She's really fulfilled."
Feng Chengyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he gently rubbed his thumb. "Really?"
Seeing that all the other young masters were accompanied by female companions while Feng Chengyuan was sitting alone, Wang Pingjin had an idea. He flattered with a smile, "Brother, why didn't your female companion come? How about I introduce one to you..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the private room was opened again. The voice came before the person.
"Sorry, everyone. There was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm late."
A beautiful young girl stepped in slowly. With fair skin, beautiful features, black hair, and red lips, her cold and fair little face was elegant and noble. She was extremely beautiful.
The cold aura around Feng Chengyuan suddenly dissipated. His eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the surprise that flashed across his eyes. He whispered to the people beside him, "Put out all the cigarettes."
After the few people extinguished their cigarettes, they glanced at each other and smiled teasingly. But they didn't dare to make fun of Feng Chengyuan. Instead, they said to the young girl, "Miss Hu came quite early."
Yu Nian gently tidied her black hair and smiled charmingly.
The moment Wang Pingjin saw the newcomer, he was stunned. Over the years, he had seen quite a few beautiful women, but a cold beauty with such a noble and aloof temperament was really rare.
Suddenly, the photo that Li Lanhong had shown him that day flashed across his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.
How could it be such a coincidence?! The woman in front of him was actually Miss Hu, famous in the capital!
Wang Pingjin immediately became restless. He didn't know whether to stand or sit.
Unexpectedly, the young girl actually walked towards him on her own initiative and sat between him and Feng Chengyuan.
Up close, the young girl's eyebrows were moist, her skin was fairer than snow, and the charming fragrance filled his nostrils. Wang Pingjin immediately became nervous.
Yu Nian casually turned her head. When she saw Wang Pingjin, she politely reached out her hand. "Hello."
Wang Pingjin immediately put on a smiling face and reached out his hand. When he touched that soft and delicate little hand, he felt his heart flutter. He lowered his voice and said,
"Hello. My name is Wang Pingjin. I'm... a friend of General Manager Feng. May I ask your name?"
Yu Nian curved her eyebrows. "My surname is Hu. Hu Youni."
Tricking you is exactly what I'm doing!
Wang Pingjin showed a delighted expression. "What a wonderful name."
But Yu Nian didn't pick up on his words. She simply nodded and turned around to drink on her own.
After a few rounds of drinking, Hu Youni seemed to be a bit drunk. She staggered out of the private room. Perhaps she was in a hurry, and the bag beside her hand wasn't zipped up.
Wang Pingjin quietly inched closer to the bag, and his eyes immediately lit up.
All kinds of precious jewelry necklaces were piled up inside. Any one of them would be worth a fortune.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Could the noble person the Taoist priest had mentioned last night be Hu Youni?!
The successive coincidences made him firmly believe that he and Hu Youni were a match made in heaven!
His heart immediately became restless. He said to Feng Chengyuan beside him, "Brother, I'm going to the toilet."
Feng Chengyuan's cold and calm gaze fixed on the two who had left. After finishing the wine in his hand in one gulp, he put the glass down heavily.
After Wang Pingjin left the private room, he craned his neck and looked around. From not far away came the sound of a quarrel with sobs. Wang Pingjin was stunned for a moment and then tiptoed over.
"I'm your only daughter. Why do you insist on me getting along with Feng Chengyuan? I'm worth hundreds of millions. Why is it so hard for me to find a man who truly loves me?"
Wang Pingjin was shocked. He didn't expect that this Hu Youni was actually the blind - date partner arranged by Feng Chengyuan's family! No wonder the two of them would appear in the club at the same time!
He had deeply experienced the benefits of marrying an only daughter and inheriting the family fortune! If he could use some tricks to get Hu Youni, wouldn't the assets of the Hu family also be his? Moreover, he could poach Feng Chengyuan's corner, cuckold him, and avenge the broken rib. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Suddenly, the quarrel in his ears stopped. Wang Pingjin had an idea and strode up to the girl. He put his coat on her shoulders and wiped the tears from Yu Nian's cheeks. He said affectionately, "Youni, don't cry. I'll feel heart - broken when a kind girl like you is sad."
Yu Nian twitched the corner of her mouth and tried hard to restrain the impulse to kick the man away. She averted her gaze, and her voice was stubborn and cold. "Aren't you Feng Chengyuan's brother - in - law? You're already married. Why are you coming to comfort me?"
Wang Pingjin cursed silently in his heart. This Hu Youni was really an ungrateful person!
But on his face, he still sighed like a gentle and humble gentleman. "To be honest, my relationship with Gao Qian is already in name only. Every time I see her face, I just feel disgusted. And since I saw you for the first time, I've truly understood what it means to be in love at first sight."
Wang Pingjin paused for a moment, and a look of determination appeared on his face. "Youni, although you may not believe it, I really fell in love with you at first sight. I don't want us to miss each other! If you can give me a chance to pursue you..." Wang Pingjin placed Yu Nian's hand on his heart. "I'm willing to divorce that shrew in my family!"
Yu Nian seemed a bit surprised. "A young and talented man like you is really willing to divorce for me?"
He nodded seriously. "Give me half a month, and I'll definitely give you an explanation."
Suddenly, the hand on his chest was withdrawn. The woman in front of him looked a bit displeased. "Half a month? You're really dreaming. I'll wait for you for at most two days."
Wang Pingjin gritted his teeth. This Hu Youni didn't even give him time to get a fake divorce certificate! You can't have your cake and eat it too. Moreover, the value of using Hu Youni was much greater than that of Gao Qian!
"Okay, it'll be tomorrow!"
Gao Qian held the divorce certificate and A Si's photo. She was dragged and thrown out of the Wang family.
From beginning to end, Wang Pingjin didn't even look at Gao Qian once. He brushed past her like a stranger and rushed towards the club in a hurry.
The long - awaited sunlight shone on Gao Qian's body. It seemed like a lifetime had passed. The long - accumulated chill slowly dissipated. Her skirt fluttered with the warm wind. The trees were lush and green. In the distance, children were playing, and old people were chatting.
Her gaze fixed on a place not far away, and tears slid down her thin cheeks.
Gao's mother, with gray hair and red and swollen eye sockets, rushed towards her, while Feng Chengyuan stood in front of the black car, his features gentle...
"Are you guys crazy to stop me?! I've made an appointment with Miss Hu!" Wang Pingjin had specially dressed up to meet Hu Youni, but he didn't expect to be stopped outside the club by the security guards.
The security guard looked at the showy man in front of him coldly and disdainfully. "This is General Manager Feng's private club. There's no Miss Hu! If you keep pestering like this, you can spend the night in the police station!"
When had Wang Pingjin ever suffered such humiliation? He started scolding and even attacked.
But one man can't fight against four. He was quickly pushed to the ground. After glaring at the security guard angrily, he fled in a hurry.
In the almost empty company, Wang Pingjin's veins bulged, and his eyes were full of hatred. He suddenly kicked Wu Yue to the ground. "Bullshit! How could you not find any information about Hu Youni?"
