Liu Bingxue didn't know the specific meaning behind Liu Huohuo's words. Was she congratulating her, or was she jealous?
Having known Liu Huohuo for years, Liu Bingxue knew her sister had never genuinely rejoiced in her happiness, so she didn't dare to hope for it now.
"What? You don't look happy at all!"
Liu Huohuo continued, "It seems Chu Lingtian has a good head for business. With Baoxue Company now famous in Dachang City, and its reputation spreading nationwide, the products are bound to sell well!"
"When that happens, Chu Lingtian will be out there shedding blood and sweat for you, while you just lie at home counting money!"
Such sourness!
Liu Bingxue immediately detected a hint of jealousy. Liu Huohuo was incapable of genuinely being happy for her. It turned out she was here to defend Chu Lingtian.
Liu Huohuo's intentions were obvious to everyone!
She had always wanted to snatch Chu Lingtian away from her, even secretly trying to get close to him.
It was just that Chu Lingtian wasn't interested.
"Hahaha, I almost forgot about this. I can't help it!"
Liu Bingxue said with a smile, "It's because my taste is good, and I chose your brother-in-law! There's nothing I can do about it."
"You should work hard to find a man as outstanding as your brother-in-law, then you can also lie down and count money!"
She wouldn't indulge Liu Huohuo. Did she really think she was a pushover?
"Bingxue, a Mr. Wu claims to be from the capital and is your former college classmate. He's waiting at the door!"
Liu Bingxue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Wu Zun? Why is he here?"
After graduating from college, Liu Bingxue had little contact with her classmates, only occasionally chatting with her dormitory mates.
"Simps" like Jiang Tian and Wu Zun had long been relegated to the cold shoulder by Liu Bingxue.
However, since he had traveled all the way from the capital, she should at least see him.
Liu Bingxue stood up and said, "Mom, please ask him to wait in the living room for a moment. I'll tidy up and be right there!"
Zhang Ping nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
"You stop standing there. I need to change my clothes to meet my college classmate. You should leave quickly too!" Liu Bingxue said.
Liu Huohuo snorted and muttered.
"Whether Chu Lingtian is brother-in-law or not is yet to be determined!"
Liu Bingxue ignored her and turned to change. After a light touch of makeup, she came out to meet him.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Liu Huohuo and Wu Zun already chatting, and they were having a lively conversation.
If a stranger saw them, they would think they were a couple.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be so witty. I must come to visit you in the capital next time!"
"You're welcome to visit Beijing. I'll cover all your expenses for food, accommodation, and transportation!"
Wu Zun was already captivated by Liu Huohuo's stunning beauty and hot figure.
If he couldn't win over the ice queen Liu Bingxue, winning over her charming and seductive sister, Liu Huohuo, wouldn't be bad either!
Liu Bingxue walked over and asked, "Wu Zun, why did you suddenly think of coming to Dachang City to find me?"
Upon seeing Liu Bingxue, Wu Zun immediately sat up straight and looked at her with a beaming smile.
Although several years had passed since graduation, Liu Bingxue still looked the same as in college, perhaps even more elegant and sophisticated, with a touch of gentle charm.
"It's not really sudden. I have a branch company in Dachang City!"
Wu Zun said slowly, "To be honest, I'm in the same industry as you, the cosmetics business!"
"The Tianmei Cosmetics Company is my own company!"
As he said this, Wu Zun's lips curled upwards, and he couldn't hide the proud expression on his face.
Of course, he had the right to be proud, as Tianmei Cosmetics Company was a major brand in China.
Liu Bingxue nodded slightly and said calmly, "Congratulations!"
Wu Zun's smile froze.
Didn't Liu Bingxue owe him a look of admiration, asking for advice, or seeking to share his experience?
She appeared too composed, almost as if she was completely ignoring him.
Liu Huohuo immediately exclaimed, "I never expected this! I'm meeting the boss of Tianmei Cosmetics Company in my own home. This is such an honor!"
"Tianmei Company seems to have become a cosmetics giant not long after its establishment. Truly commendable!"
She was clearly going against Liu Bingxue.
She knew Wu Zun was a "simp" for Liu Bingxue!
Seeing the expression on Liu Huohuo's face, Wu Zun finally felt a little better.
"Bingxue, I came to your house this time to..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a blunt and rough voice.
"You're not familiar enough with my wife to call her that. Besides, is Bingxue someone you can call by her name?"
Chu Lingtian strode over and sat next to Liu Bingxue.
"Am I right, wife?"
Liu Bingxue smiled and said, "Wu Zun, you can just call me by my name!"
A hint of embarrassment flickered across Wu Zun's face as he turned to look at Chu Lingtian, a glint of killing intent in his eyes.
Liu Huohuo looked at Chu Lingtian and immediately sat next to him.
"Amazing! You're also a business prodigy. It seems that under your management, my sister's Baoxue Company will soon be among the top ten cosmetic brands in China!"
Liu Huohuo said with a smile, "Why don't you give me some advice later? I'll be waiting for you in my room!"
Chu Lingtian completely ignored Liu Huohuo. This vixen was stirring up trouble again, and he wouldn't fall for it.
His priority now was to take care of Liu Bingxue and their unborn child.
"Wu Zun, didn't you say you also opened a company in Dachang City? What's its name? If we're in the same industry, we can help each other out!" Liu Bingxue said.
Although she disliked Wu Zun, there was no need to make their relationship too strained, after all, they were former classmates.
"This... this I'm really embarrassed to tell you!"
Wu Zun pretended to hesitate, then after a pause, said, "Baiyun Company. I was in Beijing when my subordinates told me about the conflict with your company, so I came specifically to apologize to you!"
"I hope you can forgive me, and I promise this won't happen again!"
So, this was the young master Wu from the capital!
He never expected that the person he was looking for would show up at his door.
Zhang Qing's troublemaking at the company was clearly orchestrated by this guy, yet he now pretended to be clueless.
If Liu Bingxue weren't here, Chu Lingtian would have given him a couple of slaps.
However, since the man had come to apologize in person, he must have had some backup plan.
Chu Lingtian had no intention of confronting him directly and planned to settle the score later.
"I see! It's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. You don't need to worry too much about it. We're old classmates, after all!"
Liu Bingxue also knew that things weren't that simple, but she didn't want to get too entangled with Wu Zun.
"This makes me feel quite awkward!"
Wu Zun said with a smile, "How about I host a dinner for everyone another day?"
"There's no need. Mr. Wu invited so many actors and reporters to our company today to promote our new products. We can consider it even," Chu Lingtian said.
Hearing this, Wu Zun's chest immediately began to ache.
