With such doubts, Huo Yanshu came before Rong Yanqiao.
"Did you finish your call?"
Although she knew that her relationship with Huo Yanshu was in name only, the moment Huo Yanshu left, Rong Yanqiao was still incredibly angry.
At a moment , for Huo Yanshu not to help but to choose to walk away, it was simply unimaginable!
"Yeah, something very important came up at the company, I have to go back and handle it now."
Huo Yanshu said something important happened at the company, but Rong Yanqiao didn’t believe it.
With matters at the company, there were assistants and a bunch of Huo’s executives.
The real issue, perhaps, was the comatose Wenming.
Even when she brought it up actively, Huo Yanshu still maintained the same attitude, making Rong Yanqiao want to be angry, but she simply couldn’t.
She took a deep breath, "Since you’re busy with company matters, go handle your business affairs."
"What about your gown..." NovelHub
"Don’t forget what I do, I mix in the entertainment industry; finding a gown shouldn’t be that difficult, right?"
Before Huo Yanshu could finish, Rong Yanqiao interrupted him with a light laugh.
Huo Yanshu let out a soft "Hmm" and left.
Rong Yanqiao wasn’t angry, nor did she hold a grudge.
She didn’t love Huo Yanshu, so it didn’t bother her what he did.
As for Song Yu and Ye Wen, bullying her was something she wouldn’t tolerate.
However, when she continued shopping later, Song Yu and Ye Wen never appeared in front of her again.
As she had guessed, it wasn’t something at the company but an issue on Wenming’s side.
Wenming was initially supposed to have a checkup in the ward but later had to be moved to another department. Upon receiving the news, Huo Yanshu immediately called to halt and have security guard Wenming, while he rushed over as soon as possible.
This meant that Jiang Bei’s plan with Shen Wen to extract the egg had failed.
Jiang Bei relayed this news to Rong Qingze, who flew into a rage in his office, "You couldn’t even handle such a simple matter? Am I raising a bunch of useless people?"
"Huo Yanshu is watching Miss Wen very closely, Second Master. I think we should pause, otherwise, being too hasty might tip Huo Yanshu off to the problem."
If Huo Yanshu decided to move Wenming, she wouldn’t be found any time soon.
Rong Qingze’s anger burst from within, his expression becoming particularly fierce, "Jiang Bei, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I wouldn’t dare, I’m just afraid... Second Master, I’ve been by your side for many years, I understand your thoughts, but... I can’t just watch others disrupt your plans..."
Jiang Bei stood in front of Rong Qingze with a look of unease.
Rong Qingze’s lips curled into a cold smile, "I refuse to believe that there won’t always be an opportunity."
If there’s still no opportunity, then they will seize it.
Huo Yanshu might want Wenming, but they would thrust Rong Yanqiao onto Huo Yanshu.
From Rong Qingze’s expression, Jiang Bei realized his resolve, feeling a bit fearful, yet out of respect for Rong Qingze’s anger, he said nothing.
Rong Yanqiao didn’t choose a gown; she directly sought out Luo Yu.
Luo Yu delivered the gown and even mentioned, "Second Master asked me to bring this over. Miss Rong, I think you should apologize to Second Master, don’t be stubborn. Otherwise..." NovelHub
"Otherwise what? I’ll keep being blacklisted?"
Hearing Luo Yu’s words, Rong Yanqiao found it somewhat amusing.
Luo Yu said nothing, but it was tantamount to a silent agreement.
Having a conflict with Second Master Rong was equivalent to being perpetually blacklisted.
"Miss Rong, you only have what you have today because of Second Master. You’re now marrying Huo Yanshu, who had never publicly revealed any girlfriend before. Anyone with eyes can see what’s going on. Huo Yanshu doesn’t have simple intentions, especially now that he’s engaged to you. Miss Rong, you should heed others’ advice."
Rong Yanqiao merely smiled without speaking.
She hadn’t expected Luo Yu to think that she was disregarding Rong Qingze’s wishes by insisting on being with Huo Yanshu, which was why Rong Qingze was angry.
"Thank you for considering me, but I know what I’m doing."
Rong Yanqiao patted Luo Yu on the shoulder.
Luo Yu pursed her lips and still gave Rong Yanqiao a piece of advice, "Offending Second Master only brings you harm with no benefit. Second Uncle isn’t treating you badly either; he even helped find a gown for your engagement."
Rong Yanqiao smiled, "Got it."
Luo Yu didn’t understand the nuances between her and Rong Qingze; more so, there was nothing worth entangling between them. Better to leave it alone.
She accepted the gown, but from that day until the engagement banquet, she didn’t see Rong Qingze again.
The engagement banquet between the Huo and Rong families was exceptionally grand.
The most difficult-to-book hotel was completely reserved by the two families. The lobby on the first floor was filled with flowers extending all the way to the main banquet hall, with freshly picked blooms still glistening with dew.
