Shang Kaiwen came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit, deliberately showcasing her capability to grace the parlor and enter the kitchen, revealing her domestic virtues. It was also to win Jiang Shaoqing’s favor.
She even specially arranged a fruit platter, all to make a good impression.
Today, she didn’t expect to encounter Jiang Shaoqing since even if she visited the company herself, there was no guarantee of meeting him.
It was all to please Shen Ye.
She hadn’t anticipated the surprise awaiting her.
Of course, she had also noticed that the Zhuo Lin who was just in the living room was probably the blind date arranged by Shen Ye for Jiang Shaoqing today. This girl was obviously no match for her! Plain-looking and not exceptionally stunning, her only features were her fair skin and long hair reaching her waist, which gave her a soft appearance. However, her style was worlds apart from Kaiwen’s.
The dating escapades of Jiang Shaoqing were well known around the compound; many people gossiped that the Jiang Family elders were anxious and wanted this scion to get married and have children as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shaoqing didn’t play along with the matchmaking; from the start till now, every blind date had ended with his indifference, and often, this big shot would leave the girls hanging and simply walk away.
So, it was easy to imagine what kind of storm this Miss Zhuo was likely about to face.
Hmph!
Thinking that winning over old master Jiang’s favor was enough to marry Jiang Shaoqing, she was really mistaken.
Old master Jiang had always adopted a laissez-faire approach towards Jiang Shaoqing. Whatever his grandson wanted to do, to this date, the old master had never forced his hand.
Shang Kaiwen’s thorough investigations had revealed that Jiang Shaoqing currently didn’t have an intimate girlfriend, and this cleanliness of his made her admire him even more.
Such a man was simply the most perfect husband in the eyes of a woman.
Wealthy, handsome, faithful, and not a playboy.
If such a man wasn’t a good husband, then she, Shang Kaiwen, might as well not bother getting married.
Coming out, she placed the plate of fruit on the coffee table in the living room, only to notice two people were missing - Jiang Shaoqing and Zhuo Lin?
"Auntie, where are Big Brother Jiang and Miss Zhuo? I’ll go call them over for fruit."
Absolute tenderness and propriety.
Shen Ye was on the phone, engaged in a long chat with Zhuo Lin’s mother.
The two of them were in the middle of an animated conversation.
Hearing Shang Kaiwen’s words, he finally realized he had an additional guest at home.
Rushing, he covered the phone with one hand and said to Shang Kaiwen, "Kaiwen, don’t busy yourself, sit down and eat some fruit. That scoundrel took Zhuo Lin out for dinner. I’ve got a call here. I won’t be able to entertain you, so make yourself at home, alright?"
Turning back to the phone, he hurriedly said, "I just checked the time, they’ve been out for three hours. Have you called her dormitory? Has she not returned yet? She’s not back yet? That’s excellent. I always said your family’s Zhuo Lin is so pretty and particularly likable with that soft, gentle voice. If I were a man, I would be enchanted just from hearing it.
I think this time, there might really be a chance."
"Oh, let’s pretend we don’t know then. Otherwise, that little scoundrel is too proud and will end up being passive if we step in. Let’s quietly observe and get ready on our end. One day we’ll catch them in the act, and the wedding will be just a matter of course."
"Alright, you handle that end, and I’ll handle this. I want to bring a daughter-in-law into the house soon, too."
Shang Kaiwen’s awkward departure failed to draw Shen Ye’s attention.
Sitting in her car, she fiercely slammed her fist down on the steering wheel.
This Zhuo Lin, she really underestimated her!
