When Gu Zixuan left feeling stifled, it was once again Feng Chengjin’s driver who came to escort her.
Looking at the beautiful woman with a gloomy face who didn’t speak, the driver simply couldn’t understand why everyone else who met his sir could smile as beautifully as they wished, while this lady always left with a sullen face?
Gu Zixuan sat in the back seat, utterly unwilling to talk.
If a man’s starting point for looking at a woman is her attractiveness, then she can truly give up on the male species!
The upstairs of the side hall at the Royal Jazz Club.
It wasn’t long after Gu Zixuan left that someone pushed the door open and entered.
A middle-aged woman in an ice-blue qipao with an orchid-like aura walked in gracefully and, seeing the tall figure standing by the window, spoke, "Cheng Jin."
Feng Chengjin raised his eyes and smiled at the approaching woman, "Mother."
Ye Xilan walked to Feng Chengjin’s side, glanced at the young ladies below, "Did any catch your eye?"
"No." Feng Chengjin’s smile was very faint.
"Cheng Jin." Ye Xilan’s tone deepened, "You promised me to resolve your major life issue this year."
"But it won’t be resolved here either." Follow current novels on Nove1Fire.net
Ye Xilan’s expression froze, puzzled as to why he agreed to host this business banquet.
For a moment, the door was pushed open, and Feng Chengjin’s assistant came over holding a list, Ye Xilan’s heart trembled slightly, as if she understood something but couldn’t believe it.
"President Feng, here is the list of all the young ladies who attended tonight and their families."
The assistant respectfully handed it over.
Feng Chengjin took it, flipped through it casually, and soon, a playful smile curled his lips as he handed the list back, "Make a backup record, don’t consider any of these ladies who attended tonight. If there are future appointments, decline them for me."
The willfulness made Ye Xilan tightly furrow her brows.
"Cheng Jin, in this circle of the elite, it’s all about alliances based on interest. Without interest, which girl would willingly marry for mere affection? As long as their disposition is decent, a little scheming can be tolerated."
But Feng Chengjin just smiled blandly and said, "I never said I wouldn’t look, aren’t there a few influential ladies who haven’t arrived yet? Little Qin, try to arrange a meeting, find a suitable time, and I’ll meet them."
Feng Chengjin nodded towards his assistant.
Assistant Qin Nuo nodded quickly, glanced at the madam, and prepared to leave.
Ye Xilan, however, seemed utterly disappointed in Feng Chengjin, grabbed the list from Qin Nuo’s hand, and walked out with a hint of anger.
"Forget it, you’re only putting on a show when I force you, I’m too lazy to bother with you. Just remember what your grandfather said to you before he died, Feng Chengjin! If by the New Year you can’t bring me someone to marry, I’ll take your stock of sperm and find a woman to surrogate for you!"
In the air, Feng Chengjin looked stunned.
Qin Nuo, watching the occasionally fierce madam, couldn’t help but bow his head and chuckle secretly.
Gu Zixuan returned home the next morning.
The night before, she stayed at the Gu Family.
The current Gu Family, no longer as bustling as it once was, had an ordinary four-bedroom, two-living-room house surrounded by a dense throng of journalists.
Gu Zixuan knew that the situation had already reached a fever pitch, with high-ranking officials in Rong City being successively investigated, news of which had spread across all networks nationwide.
Currently, it’s still being suppressed, only because the matters within the system need to be resolved internally first.
Without concrete news, no one dared to pierce the official circle by reporting this first piece of news.
