Why the hint of mockery?
After all, SKP Mall was a high-end mall in Capital City. When Fang Yuanyuan asked Qin Rubing why she was there, she ant to belittle her, implying Qin Rubing couldn’t afford anything.
So, Luo the Immortal tossed the sa question right back at her.
"’Of course, we ca here to shop!’ Fang Yuanyuan retorted."
Luofeng glanced at the nearby Guerlain counter. He happened to know this brand and promptly revealed his identity as the owner of the Funeral Store.
"’Auntie, are you buying Guerlain? It is indeed the most affordable brand here at SKP,’ Luofeng said with a smile."
His words implied that she couldn’t afford anything better.
Qin Rubing’s lips curled upward. Suddenly, she thought that being a yin and yang master wasn’t so bad after all.
Fang Yuanyuan was, in fact, there to buy Guerlain.
But after Luofeng’s comnt, how could she not understand the sarcasm?
Fang Yuanyuan’s anger flared. "’You’re Qin Rubing’s boyfriend, right?’"
"’Yes, Auntie. Is there sothing you’d like to advise?’ Luofeng asked in return."
"’So, Qin Rubing doesn’t go ho even during vacations but stays at your place instead?’ Fang Yuanyuan continued. ’You two are already living together? Are your parents aware of this?’"
Qin Ruo Wen comnted from the side, "’Wow, Qin Rubing, you’re so shaless... TSK TSK TSK! Directly cohabitating, quite bold, huh!’"
Qin Rubing looked at the two of them indifferently.
Listening to Fang Yuanyuan and Qin Ruo Wen’s Yin and yang, Luofeng suddenly understood why Qin Rubing, even when injured, wouldn’t go ho and preferred to stay at Duanmu Yunji’s place.
Who could stand these two yin and yang masters, one older and one younger?
If the situation had been as before, Qin Rubing would probably have been swept away by these two yin and yang masters, right?
After all, Qin Rubing’s nature was to be calm and quiet; even now, she mostly chose silence.
But Luofeng was a Great Yin-Yang Master.
A duel between yin and yang masters? Luofeng was very interested in sparring with them.
"’Auntie, you’re mistaken. Rubing doesn’t live at my place!’ Luofeng explained. ’I previously gave her an apartnt at Cloud View International; she’s living there now!’"
At this, Luofeng turned to her. "’Rubing, haven’t you told your family?’"
Qin Rubing said cooperatively, "’That apartnt is worth tens of millions. I didn’t tell my family because I was afraid of misunderstandings!’"
Nice!
Qin Rubing was also slowly walking the path of a yin and yang master.
When Qin Rubing ntioned the apartnt worth tens of millions, Fang Yuanyuan and Qin Ruo Wen’s expressions visibly changed; they were utterly stunned.
"’Heh, we’re practically family. It’s just an apartnt; there’s nothing to misunderstand,’ Luofeng said with a smile."
Luofeng continued, "’By the way, Auntie, which Guerlain products do you like? How about I gift you a set as a eting gift?’"
In the adult world, adding a slight interrogative tone or a word like ’then’ often signifies a different aning. For instance, ’I’ll pay the bill’ and ’I’ll pay the bill, then?’ are two different things.
It was the sa in this situation.
First, Luofeng ntioned giving Qin Rubing an apartnt worth tens of millions, and now he was offering to buy them Guerlain?
It felt like he was brushing off a beggar.
Qin Rubing snickered inwardly; she understood Luofeng’s maneuver.
Fang Yuanyuan also understood the implication. As a yin and yang master herself, how could she not understand?
Initially, Fang Yuanyuan was about to retort, perhaps to question the existence of the apartnt, still half-doubting.
But then, her gaze suddenly shifted to soone behind Luofeng, and she demonstrated her skill in rapid expression changes. The cold look from a mont ago was instantly replaced by a broad smile.
"’Director Wang? Hello!’"
Director Wang looked at Fang Yuanyuan in confusion. "’And you are...?’"
"’I’m Fang Yuanyuan from No.2 Middle School!’ she introduced herself."
Director Wang was still puzzled. He didn’t know any Fang Yuanyuan, but since she had greeted him, he responded, "’Oh, oh, oh, Ms. Fang Yuanyuan.’"
"’Are you shopping alone, Director Wang?’ Fang Yuanyuan asked, trying to make small talk."
"’My wife is in the bathroom; I’m just looking around for now!’"
After saying that, Director Wang glanced at his watch.
The gesture was a clear signal that he wanted to end the conversation. He didn’t wish to chat any longer.
In ancient tis, serving tea signaled a guest it was ti to leave; in modern tis, glancing at one’s watch served the sa purpose.
Fang Yuanyuan naturally understood and quickly said, "’Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer, Director Wang. Enjoy your shopping!’"
That well-wish had a distinctly fawning tone.
Director Wang paid Fang Yuanyuan no real mind. As the director of the School System, he encountered too many people like Fang Yuanyuan trying to curry favor; how could he possibly rember each one?
As Fang Yuanyuan walked back, Director Wang glanced at her retreating figure and then noticed Luofeng.
But when he saw Luofeng, he paused—he actually recognized him.
Director Wang looked at Fang Yuanyuan. Could it be that Fang Yuanyuan knew Luofeng?
If Fang Yuanyuan and Luofeng were acquainted, would my earlier attitude have offended Luofeng?
After a mont’s thought, Director Wang imdiately went after them. He planned to greet Luofeng to gauge his relationship with Fang Yuanyuan, which would then determine how he treated her.
Seeing Director Wang approach them, Fang Yuanyuan politely inquired, "’Director Wang, is there sothing else?’"
Director Wang ignored Fang Yuanyuan and, addressing Luofeng’s profile, took the initiative. "’Hello, Mr. Luo?’"
Luofeng looked at Director Wang with confusion. Could this man have sohow affected Fang Yuanyuan’s ’purity score’?
"’And you are...?’"
"’I am Wang Hua, director of the School System for North Third Road. It’s a pleasure to et you, Mr. Luo!’ Wang Hua introduced himself."
Luofeng thought for a mont. I don’t think I know him. I haven’t had any dealings with the School System.
"’I’m sorry, do we know each other?’ Luofeng asked casually."
Even though the man had introduced himself, if Luofeng didn’t recognize him, he simply didn’t. Why pretend otherwise?
Fang Yuanyuan chid in, "’Luofeng, Director Wang is in charge of the entire School System for North Third Road!’"
The director for the entire district’s School System?
So he manages all education in the North Third Road area?
In Capital City, soone of that level could barely be considered a figure, I suppose.
But what did that have to do with ?
Do my children need to attend school?
Sorry, even if I had children now, it would be many years before they’d need to attend school.
Hearing Fang Yuanyuan’s words, Wang Hua knew she was unaware of Luofeng’s true status and thus couldn’t have a very good relationship with him. "’Ms. Fang,’ he said, ’it’s quite normal that Mr. Luo doesn’t know . Previously, on North Third Road, a colleague of mine was looking into so matters and ntioned Mr. Luo to . I’ve admired him from afar for a long ti!’"
Luofeng understood the implication.
Considering how Fang Yuanyuan had just abruptly approached Wang Hua, and given Wang Hua’s position, she clearly wanted to ingratiate herself with him. But Wang Hua didn’t recognize her. However, Wang Hua then noticed she was with . So he ca over to probe the situation? According to Wang Hua, he knew of , likely because of the Wu Fanyu incident.
