How… how could he… appear here?
That…
And…
They…
So nervous! Her heart was pounding! Her face instantly flushed red! Ai Tai En wished she could disappear into the ground right where she stood.
“Go over there, you sit with me,” Du Ruo Xin said as she walked, but no one followed.
She turned back, only to find Ai Tai En standing frozen, her face flushed and embarrassed.
What was going on?
Following Ai Tai En’s gaze, Du Ruo Xin saw Rong Jing Shu also looking over.
“Sister-in-law, your friend? Aren’t you going to introduce her?” Rong Jing Shu asked, a faint smile on his lips as he saw the simple,傻傻 girl.
Du Ruo Xin’s gaze darted between Rong Jing Shu and Ai Tai En. She hadn’t noticed before, but now, she was shocked!
They were wearing matching couple outfits – the white t-shirts from Moda, which she endorsed!
Du Ruo Xin was even more bewildered.
Jing Shu and Ai Tai En, knew each other?
Had she missed some exciting drama?
But, but, wasn’t Jing Shu trying to date Grace?
How would this situation resolve?
“Sister-in-law, who is this beauty? Don’t keep her to yourself, hurry and tell us, tell us,” another young master from the Rong family chimed in.
Du Ruo Xin finally snapped back to attention and introduced, “Ai Tai En, the daughter of India’s Tata Group.”
The Rong family young master’s interest was piqued. He jogged forward and introduced himself, “Rong Jing Wen, the fourth son of the Rong family.”
He had intended to shake hands with the beauty, but his hands were sticky, so Rong Jing Wen gave up. “Come, let’s sit over there.”
Ai Tai En saw that Rong Jing Wen was indicating the seat next to Rong Jing Shu. Despite her blushing face, she walked over. “Okay.”
Du Ruo Xin: “……”
Rong Jing Wen waved at Du Ruo Xin and teased, “Sister-in-law, hurry and help Big Brother. He’s got a mountain in front of him.”
“I’ll take good care of Miss Ai Tai En and won’t disturb your public display of affection.”
Du Ruo Xin crossed her arms and glared, “Hmph, you rascal!”
Rong Jing Wen strode forward, catching up to Ai Tai En, and moved his own stool.
He gestured for Ai Tai En to sit, then planned to squeeze in between them.
But!
Ai Tai En completely ignored him and sat in the chair Grace had just vacated, softly and subtly saying, “Ai Tai En. And you?”
Rong Jing Shu: “Rong Jing Shu, the third son of the Rong family.”
Rong Jing Wen: “……”
Third Brother, you’re just going to steal the corner like that? She’s the beauty he invited!
But seeing Ai Tai En and Third Brother already in matching outfits.
Fine, he’d accept this matchmaking role!
Du Ruo Xin narrowed her eyes: “——”
This, that, hey, isn’t the situation a bit off?
Grace!
Is Ai Tai En here to steal Grace’s boyfriend?
No way!
Although Du Ruo Xin didn’t want to break up a happy couple, she even less wanted her good friend to get hurt.
So anxious!
Turning, she ran to find Grace.
At this moment, Grace thought Feng Lin Wan was looking for her, but it wasn’t.
Looking at the noble and imposing stranger before her, she had a question mark on her face, “Who are you?”
Who are you?
Seeing an elder, shouldn’t you say hello? Shouldn’t you offer greetings?
Deng Wen’s first impression of Grace was not good, and her second impression was even worse.
But she didn’t show it, still smiling, “Jing Shu’s mother. You can call me Aunt Deng.”
“Ruoxin mentioned that you’re in charge of researching artificial petroleum. How is it progressing?”
Grace’s eyes sharpened – was she trying to gather information?
She said seriously, “This is official business, and it’s not convenient to disclose too much. Please forgive me.”
Besides, Sister Xin is one of the decision-makers in this matter. Why is this lady asking her instead of Sister Xin?
Grace naturally felt a sense of caution.
Deng Wen was not annoyed by the cold shoulder. She continued, “It’s alright. Next time, I’ll host a dinner, inviting Jing Yang and his wife, as well as you and your colleagues from the bureau.”
Artificial petroleum held immense profit potential. If their second branch could get a share, it would be wonderful!
Her husband was too mediocre, and her son was focused on protecting the country; she couldn’t rely on either of them, so she had to rely on herself.
How could Grace not understand the rich lady’s underlying meaning?
But she still refused, “I’m sorry, I’m not used to socializing.”
Then, she said, “I have something else to do,” and turned to leave.
Giving Deng Wen no face at all.
Deng Wen: @#￥%amp;amp;！
She stood stunned for a long time, not reacting until Grace disappeared around the corner. She suddenly clutched her chest.
So angry!
Isn’t Grace her son’s girlfriend? Why isn’t she trying to please her mother-in-law?
What a clueless, stubborn woman!
Not good!
