"Mr. Jiang, is he a deity? Is Manager Liu out of her mind? Do deities really exist in this world?" Xiong Sumei shook her head, unable to believe it.
Although she still had her doubts, deep down, Xiong Sumei felt a twinge of regret. If she could start over, what wish would she make? To become as beautiful as Manager Liu? Or to attain immortality? Or perhaps...
Xiong Sumei thought aimlessly for a while before shaking her head and giving a wry smile, abandoning her unrealistic fantasies.
In fact, the most frustrated people today were probably Qian Wenwu and his friends. Who would have thought that Liu Pingping actually knew Jiang Chen, and it seemed their relationship was quite special. This left them so disheartened that they went off to drink away their sorrows. When Xiong Sumei finally finished, they hurriedly invited her to the bar.
"Xiong Sumei, what on earth is going on? What is the relationship between Miss Liu and that guy?" As soon as Xiong Sumei arrived, Qian Wenwu couldn't wait to ask.
"I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s clear that Manager Liu likes Mr. Jiang. However, Mr. Jiang doesn’t seem interested in Manager Liu," Xiong Sumei replied.
"What?"
"Seriously?"
"That can't be true!"
Xiong Sumei's words left Qian Wenwu and his friends utterly shocked and unable to accept it.
"Don’t say you don’t believe me; I actually don’t either, but it’s the truth—Manager Liu really does like Mr. Jiang," Xiong Sumei said earnestly.
"Is Miss Liu blind or something?" Qian Wenwu exclaimed, jealousy burning in his eyes.
"It must be that Mr. Jiang has some charm we can’t comprehend. I think Manager Liu’s feelings for him are genuine," Xiong Sumei stated.
"Pfft! He’s not even as handsome as I am or as tall; he looks so ordinary. How could he attract Miss Liu? I think her taste is questionable," Qian Wenwu scoffed.
"Could it be that he’s from some wealthy family?" Chen Shuifeng speculated.
"No, Manager Liu said Mr. Jiang doesn’t have any background; he’s just exceptionally skilled," Xiong Sumei clarified.
After all, Qian Wenwu and the others were long-time friends of Xiong Sumei, so she couldn’t hide everything from them; she had to share what was necessary.
"Heh, so he’s just a Martial Artist? A brute at best. Miss Liu’s taste is truly terrible. I think that guy's martial arts skills are only good enough to be Miss Liu's bodyguard. What a waste of a good catch; one day, Miss Liu will regret this," Qian Wenwu sneered.
"You guys don’t need to be so hostile towards Mr. Jiang; he hasn’t done anything to you," Xiong Sumei replied, feeling exasperated.
"I just can’t stand him; he’s all show and no substance. Just because he has some skills doesn’t mean he can act invincible. Look at him all day long; in this society, being good at martial arts doesn’t mean you can fear nothing," Qian Wenwu said with dissatisfaction in his tone.
These people are fortunate, for most of the grasshoppers dancing before Jiang Chen do not meet a good end.
The next day, Liu Pingping and Xiong Sumei accompanied Jiang Chen to the airport. Jiang Chen boarded a plane and flew directly back to Shanghai.
Jiang Luyi had been waiting at the Shanghai airport. After more than two years without seeing Jiang Chen, their reunion stirred complex emotions within Jiang Luyi.
"Young Master, welcome back!" Jiang Luyi said with a beaming smile.
On the way to Quiet Villa, Jiang Luyi reported on various matters from the past two years. Naturally, they had earned a considerable amount of money. Although Jiang Luyi knew that Jiang Chen did not care much about money, he felt it was still necessary to provide an update.
