"Miss Zhong, do you not like ?" Su Ruoxi asked boldly and frankly.
Zhong iying couldn’t help but laugh internally. It seed that her earlier judgnt was spot on—Leng Junxuan’s girlfriend really had no clue about how these people interacted with each other. Ye Qiu and Leng Junxuan might look like buddies who grew up together, but what intertwined their relationships more than anything were family interests. Often, they just maintained a facade of friendliness. When there were political disagreents or conflicts of interest between their families, they would never settle it with just a simple apology like they did today as if everything was fine.
Asking such straightforward questions like whether she liked her or not was as redundant as pulling down one’s pants to fart. What, if she answered no, would that an they had to beco enemies? If she answered yes, would she have to include her in their social circle?
Even without delving into that, just because of you, my fiancé got his arm injured, and Shuyao was aggrieved. Where do you get the courage to think I would like you?
However, out of basic politeness, these were words that Zhong iying would never say, so she maintained a distant smile and replied: "Ms. Su is overthinking it, there’s no such thing."
"Really? That’s great." Su Ruoxi said with surprise, seemingly oblivious to the politeness in Zhong iying’s tone. She looked forward to Zhong iying, her voice tinged with pleading, "Then, Miss Zhong, could you introduce to Junxuan’s friends later? I want to get along well with everyone and not worry Junxuan."
Zhong iying barely managed to keep her smile. She was wrong—Ms. Su Ruoxi’s greatest asset must be her thick skin. Otherwise, why would she think Zhong would help her?
"Leng Junxuan is outstanding in both family background and abilities among our group, Ms. Su doesn’t need to worry that anyone will make things difficult for you," Zhong iying thought that saying this would make Su Ruoxi understand her aning, but instead, she got it utterly wrong.
"Really? Everyone will like ? Then I’ll trouble Miss Zhong to introduce later, as you know, Leng Junxuan being a man, he can be careless sotis. It’s really great to have a friend like Miss Zhong. Another day, I and Junxuan will invite you and the Chairman for a al!"
When did she agree to introduce her? When did she beco her friend? Zhong iying was dumbfounded. Does Ms. Su Ruoxi have a problem with her comprehension skills?
Zhong iying kept her unchanged smile: "Ms. Su, there’s no need for an introduction, everyone will want to et you."
"Is that so? I felt the looks everyone gave earlier were a bit strange, thought they didn’t like !" Su Ruoxi let out a sigh of relief and joyfully said, "I knew Junxuan’s friends aren’t superficial people who would look down on for having an ordinary background."
If everyone doesn’t like you, does that make them superficial? Zhong iying was at a loss for words.
"What are you two talking about?" Ye Qiu, having finished a round, noticed his fiancée’s expression seed off and lightly asked with a laugh.
Over there, Leng Junxuan was showing concern for Su Ruoxi, and before Zhong iying could reply to Ye Qiu, Su Ruoxi took the initiative to say, "Chairman, your girlfriend is truly a wonderful person. Not only does she treat like a friend, but she also eagerly wants to introduce to everyone."
"Is that so?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow and stepped aside to block his fiancée’s speechless expression, finding it amusing internally.
"Junxuan, let’s invite the Chairman and Miss Zhong out for a al another day. One reason is to apologize for accidentally burning the Chairman, and the other is to thank Miss Zhong for treating as a friend. What do you think?" Su Ruoxi suggested gleefully.
Without a thought, Ye Qiu knew his fiancée didn’t want to interact with Ms. Su Ruoxi, so he quickly declined: "That won’t be necessary. i Ying and I are quite busy recently, probably won’t have the ti for that. Moreover, today’s occasion is already hosted by Junxuan; there’s no need for any further gestures."
"Well..." Su Ruoxi looked at Leng Junxuan, hesitating and unsure what to say.
Leng Junxuan gave her an indulgent smile: "Just enjoy yourself today, don’t overthink it. Ye Qiu and the others are not outsiders, they won’t mind."
"Okay then, are you guys going to continue shooting? Who won?" Su Ruoxi asked with an expectant look.
"We’re about done," Leng Junxuan humbly replied.
But Ye Qiu was not a vain person, hence he casually stated the outco of their competition: "Don’t be too humble, my shooting skills are nothing compared to yours."
Zhong iying didn’t care about the result of the competition. After all, Leng Junxuan ca from Interpol, so it was normal for Ye Qiu to lose to him. Besides, her fiancé had other strengths. When it cos to making money, could Leng Junxuan even compare?
However, Su Ruoxi was quite pleased with the result, and without regard for the situation or her status, she tiptoed and pecked Leng Junxuan on the cheek, gleefully saying: "I knew you were the best!"
Didn’t she consider that saying this might make Ye Qiu feel awkward? Fortunately, Ye Qiu didn’t care about these things.
Zhong iying internally marked Su Ruoxi’s social skills as a complete fail. If she wanted to beco a daughter-in-law of the Leng Family, she still had a long way to go!
"Let’s go check out the equestrian area. It’s almost noon, the barbecue should be getting set up," Zhong iying suggested, noticing that neither Ye Qiu nor Leng Junxuan seed inclined to continue. But Su Ruoxi seed to have misunderstood.
She took Zhong iying’s hand with an apologetic expression: "Sister Zhong, the chairman is also very impressive, you wouldn’t mind just because of one competition, would you?"
Zhong iying shrugged off her hand with a stiff smile: "You’re overthinking it, and besides, Leng Junxuan is older than Ye Qiu, so you don’t need to call ’sister’." To avoid Su Ruoxi clinging to her and making more ridiculous comnts, she deliberately stood on the other side of Ye Qiu. In Su Ruoxi’s eyes, this was Zhong iying and Ye Qiu taking the shooting score to heart and then going to comfort Ye Qiu.
Well, she expressed her understanding; who made her boyfriend so outstanding!
"Here you are, Brother Junxuan, Brother Ye, please stop flaunting in front of us singles. Can’t you let go of the misses?" Soone with keen eyes saw them coming over and called out teasingly.
Su Ruoxi’s face instantly turned red as she let go of Leng Junxuan’s arm, smiling shyly with her head lowered.
Leng Liuli just couldn’t stand to see her brother falling for such a petty woman, lacking in every aspect—family background, appearance, ability. Not a single one was presentable. She snorted coldly, completely ignoring Su Ruoxi’s ingratiating smile.
Ye Shuyao was enjoying the drama from the sidelines. Growing up, her second brother and Leng Junxuan were always compared, just like she was always compared with Leng Liuli. Leng Liuli thought she was pretentious, and she thought Leng Liuli was falsely noble. In the past, Ye Shuyao was considerate because Leng Liuli was Leng Junxuan’s sister, so she often held back. But now, she didn’t even like Leng Junxuan anymore and naturally took pleasure in watching the Leng Family’s embarrassnt.
