Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World! -Novel - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Gossip about Shengyan

It was not yet time for the bar to open for business, so there was basically no one around. The lights were very dim, and there was a singer on stage singing an old love song.

The voice was deep and romantic.

They sat at the bar counter. Gu Chu ordered a glass of warm water, while the others ordered wine.

Gu Chu looked past Meng Lang and Wang Xiao. “Aren’t you supposed to report back to the army?”

Wang Xiao was a man of few words. “It’s a holiday.”

“No,” Meng Lang interjected. “He lied to you, he actually applied for leave. You’ve been through so much recently, and he’s a little worried, so he asked for leave to come back and see you. Tomorrow, before dawn, he’s going back.”

Gu Chu felt a warmth in her heart. She clinked her glass with his. “Thank you!”

Wang Xiao nodded and raised his head to finish his drink.

Whenever there was a gathering, Meng Lang would definitely be the most talkative one. “We’ve all seen the news. You’re really amazing!” He raised his glass high. “Come, everyone, raise your glasses. Let’s drink to our tough rose!”

Gu Chu: “…”

…

After Wang Xiao finished his glass, he did not drink anymore. Only Feng Jia clinked his glass with him, Meng Lang smacked his lips. “What’s wrong with Feng Huai? He took you away just to scare people? The police didn’t even put him in jail. Fortunately, you were safe this time!”

He raised his glass again. “Come, everyone, raise your glasses again. Let’s drink to our little rose, who will definitely have good fortune after surviving this disaster!”

Gu Chu: “…”

After drinking two glasses of wine, Meng Lang asked again, “Is that tumor of yours recovered now?”

Gu Chu did not want to talk to him at all. She even felt that he was using her as an excuse to drink.

She slid down the high chair. “Feng Jia, let’s go.”

Meng Lang quickly pulled her back. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t go! I haven’t even performed a song yet. I’ve been practicing for a long time.”

Gu Chu glanced at the wine in front of him. “If you want me to stay, that’s fine. Remove the wine and replace it with chrysanthemum tea.”

Meng Lang protested, “You don’t usually drink, and it’s not like you can’t drink either. Why aren’t you letting us drink?”

Gu Chu smiled. “Everyone knows that I’m unreasonable.”

Meng Lang glanced at Gu Chu. Fine, since she was good-looking, she could do whatever she wanted. He waved at the bartender. “Give me chrysanthemum tea. Tonight is a healthy night!”

The bartender immediately gave him chrysanthemum tea.

Meng Lang took a sip and thought of something. He said to Gu Chu, “Have you heard about Shengyan? Your companies are working together, right?”

Gu Chu was in the capital, so she really didn’t know. “What happened to Shengyan?”

“Didn’t they always talk about the boss and the sales manager? What’s her name?”

“Zhao Ting?”

Meng Lang nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, it’s her!”

“What about her?”

“The boss wants to promote her and make her the general manager of a branch company. That branch company accounts for quite a lot of Shengyan’s annual profits. This position is equivalent to the vice president of the group. With her experience, it’s far from enough. However, the boss of Shengyan wants to force her to take the position, so naturally, many people are dissatisfied.”

Gu Chu frowned. “And then?”

“The one who objected the most was naturally his son. To be honest, that son of his is even worse than me!” Meng Lang raised his eyebrows, “At least I know that I’m a loser. His son is worse than me. He didn’t even know how much money he lost when he invested. My father used to dislike me, but now that I have him as a comparison, my father finds me much more pleasing to the eye.”

Gu Chu tapped the rim of his cup. “Get to the point.”

“The point is, his son was afraid that he would give her the family property in the future, so he caused a ruckus in the board meeting and exposed his father’s shortcomings in public. He even said that Zhao Ting was his father’s illegitimate daughter!”

Meng Lang clicked his tongue. “Now, everyone is laughing at the CEO for not being true to his words. On the surface, he is deeply in love with his wife, but in reality, he has a mistress. He even has an illegitimate daughter.”

The corner of Gu Chu’s mouth twitched. “His son is really ‘filial’!”

She picked up the cup and took a sip. Although she didn’t have much contact with Zhao Ting, she didn’t think she was such a person.

Meng Lang asked sneakily, “Have you seen Zhao Ting? Is she good-looking?”

Before Gu Chu could say anything, a voice came from behind. “Don’t talk about girls behind their backs.”

Gu Chu turned around and saw that it was Lu Shen. She called out, “Lu Shen.”
