The two also saw the approaching Ghost. Zhang Shihao was fine, as he had already been informed by Biaozi, so the surprise had long passed. Luo Meiling, however, was still a bit stunned,
"This looks like a new car..."
"Mr. Zhou picked it up just over an hour ago, so of course it’s new."
Zhang Shihao explained with a smile.
Only then did Luo Meiling feel somewhat shaken, because the Cullinan she had ordered months ago under the persuasion of her son was still on the waiting list...
Zhou Wang parked the car in a nearby spot and got out from the driver’s seat, smiling as he approached.
"Sorry, Brother, Mr. Luo, there was a bit of traffic on the way here. Why didn’t you both go inside first...?"
Since there were only three main guests, they could skip the introductions. Luo Meiling smiled gracefully and extended her pale hand to Zhou Wang.
"Mr. Zhou, I’ve heard so much about you. I never expected your voice to be so pleasant and you to be so handsome. I couldn’t believe it when Mr. Zhang mentioned it..."
Zhou Wang chuckled at Luo Meiling’s phrasing of "I’ve heard so much," then shook her warm and smooth hand, remarking,
"When I first saw your profile picture, I was struck by it, and now that I meet you, that feeling has only increased. Mr. Luo, if that charm were launched through our Wuyou, half of the internet celebrities would be out of work."
Luo Meiling had heard even more exaggerated compliments, but coming from Zhou Wang, she really appreciated it.
"Hahaha, shall we go to the private room to continue chatting?"
Seeing that the chatting was nearly done, Zhang Shihao finally spoke with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou, I have to apologize. Mr. Zhang already knows. My son happened to come over today. Since his father and I have been divorced for a long time, we don’t usually see each other, so... Do you mind if he joins us for a meal?"
Miao Ying and Xiao An, who were slightly behind, followed. As the three walked towards the private room, Luo Meiling suddenly spoke to Zhou Wang, a little apologetically.
Zhou Wang paused but then nodded with a smile, "Of course... Mr. Luo’s son is still in kindergarten or elementary school, right?"
"Mr. Zhou, I shouldn’t interact with you more. Such subtle compliments from you are so easy to fall for..."
Luo Meiling first pursed her lips into a smile before saying, "He’s already twenty-one, probably about your age. He just called me and should already be in the room. You might find him quite chatty, and it’ll be a great chance for him to learn from you..."
Amid the laughter and chatter, everyone reached the private room in the Golden Sands Hall via the backyard. Xiao An quickly went ahead and opened the door. Inside the elegantly decorated classical room, there indeed was a slightly chubby young man dressed in trendy fashion waiting.
"Mom, Uncle Zhang..."
The young man instinctively smiled and stood up, putting on a well-behaved demeanor.
However, after greeting his mother and Zhang Shihao, when his eyes landed on the third person, he was suddenly stunned.
Unbeknownst to Luo Meiling, she continued smiling and waving at her son, while introducing,
"Xiao Qi, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Zhou Wang, Mr. Zhou, a dear friend of Mom’s..."
When she noticed her son’s expression as if he’d seen a ghost and not responding appropriately, Luo Meiling frowned slightly, urging,
"Hey, what are you doing just standing there? Come and say hello to your Uncle Zhou!"
