Chapter 57: Because This Man Was Fu Qing Han

Zhou Tong He let out a cold laugh as he spoke. Even though his tone sounded like he was addressing an elder, he was still lofty and full of contempt.

Old Master Jiang’s expression got even harder to hold. He shot Jiang Shi Yue a fierce glare, then forced a smile and looked at Zhou Tong He with practiced warmth and closeness. “Eldest Young Master Zhou, don’t be angry. She’s young and doesn’t know better. In a bit, I’ll have her go to your room and apologize.”

Look at that, look at that – that face-changing speed really did run in the family.

These past few days, Zhou Tong He hadn’t been staying at home because of company matters. He’d been resting at a nearby hotel instead.

Anyway, he’d rented that top-floor luxury suite year-round.

Having her go to his room to apologize – did that even need explaining?

Zhou Tong He thought, this old man really knew what’s what.

But Jiang Shi Yue smiled instead. She tilted her head and looked at the three of them, then thoughtfully touched her chin. “Sure. I’ll bring my boyfriend too. Do you want him to apologize as well?”

The moment she said that, Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang almost had heart attacks.

The restaurant didn’t only have Zhou Tong He and the Jiang Family. With their ability, they still couldn’t book out this place – not because they lacked money, but because they lacked the status.

So, a few diners looked over.

Everyone had their own status and it involved another family’s business, but that didn’t stop them from whispering anyway.

“Is the Zhou Family marrying into the Jiang Family?”

“Pretty much. Didn’t you see Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang come in person?”

“Wasn’t Zhou Tong He photographed a few days ago in a scandal with a minor celebrity, Little Ming? And so soon they’re doing an alliance marriage?”

“Why not? The Jiang Family is at best a bottom-tier family now. Latching onto the Zhou Family counts as their luck finally turning…”

Those whispers made Old Master Jiang’s face go a bit blue, but with Zhou Tong He here, he forced himself to endure it. Even if they were a bottom-tier family, if they married into the Zhou Family, it would still be a huge step forward.

Old Master Jiang shot Old Madam Jiang a look, telling her to immediately teach that ungrateful Jiang Shi Yue a lesson.

Old Madam Jiang naturally understood the old man’s meaning, and she was thinking the same. She viciously cursed, “Back then we never should have let your mother enter the family and give birth to a bastard like you. At such a young age, you already know how to seduce some wild man.”

“Why are you talking about my mother too?” Jiang Shi Yue sighed, her voice sounding a little troubled. “I said I’m angry, and none of you believe me.”

As she spoke, she actually took a step forward – just one plain, ordinary step.

But Old Madam Jiang suddenly felt a massive pressure clamp down on her breathing, making her instinctively want to dodge, yet her legs wouldn’t listen at all.

She glared with wide eyes, wishing she could beat Jiang Shi Yue to death.

But she couldn’t. She was a person with status.

Just then, a low male voice suddenly sounded, like the most beautiful cello, elegant with a touch of cool distance. “Are you saying I’m a wild man?”

Everyone looked over on instinct.

The way he said it was a little funny, but coming from his mouth, no one found it funny.

Because this man was Fu Qing Han.

He walked over at an unhurried pace, and it was as if even the brightest stars couldn’t match the light in his eyes. This man once again seized everyone’s gaze with effortless ease.
