Chapter 552 Visiting the Golden Gate
She wrinkled her nose slightly. Why did they have to call her that in front of so many people? Honestly, couldn't they be a little more clever?
However, since they had already called out her name, Jin Huan couldn't go any further.
She paused, turned around with a charming smile, and exuded the innocent charm of youth.
Zhou Yatang walked very steadily, but anyone could see that he cared too much about this young girl.
"Brother-in-law."
She's just used to calling her that.
The others, who had been curious about the relationship between the two, now understood. The man paused, inexplicably recalling how he had bumped into the two of them buying "that kind of thing" at the supermarket. He had only heard that she had broken up with her boyfriend around the Lunar New Year, and he himself had finally gotten divorced at the end of April. Now, seeing her again, he finally had the courage to approach her openly.
The distance between the two remained within a safe and appropriate range.
She didn't back down, and he politely didn't step forward either.
His gaze, restrained yet gentle, fell upon her. The thin, cool tank top made her frame appear even more frail and slender: "It's suddenly getting chilly. Go home early."
"I will, you go ahead with your work."
She smiled politely and left without showing the slightest sign of anything amiss, as if Zhou Yatang were just a passerby she had met by chance, and the other dazzling man in the group was not her boyfriend.
He originally wanted to suggest having dinner together that evening.
But reason told him that this was not a good time to talk and invite her out. Putting aside his business to greet her was already going too far, and adults shouldn't do that.
He restrained himself and curled his fingers slightly, watching her retreating figure. His heart felt as if it had been swept by an unexpected spring breeze, but soon it was filled with desolation again.
......
I'm eating a piece of stinky tofu I bought from a roadside vendor.
The parasols were put away long ago; the dark clouds followed her everywhere today, making it cool wherever she went.
My phone, which was in my small bag, suddenly vibrated.
She was holding something in her hand and had no time to pay attention to it. She wandered around looking at things, and soon forgot all about the phone.
It wasn't until evening, when she was happily sitting in a hot pot restaurant eating beef, that she suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment to have dinner with Ming Jiaye that night!
She quickly finished her food, grabbed her bags, and got into a taxi to head to the hotel. She glanced at her phone; their chat history stopped at a message he'd sent her three hours earlier, a message she hadn't replied to.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't urge her to go home, which probably meant she hadn't returned yet.
That would be perfect for her to sneak back.
Uncle Ming: Where are you going? I'll have Xiao Zhao go with you.
She thought of several replies, typed them out, then deleted them, and finally it became...
Huanhuanzi: Uncle Ming~ When are you coming back? I'm so hungry from waiting for you!
"Buzzing..."
The reply came very quickly.
Uncle Ming: Are you eating hotpot while waiting for me?
Enjoy yourself: ? ? ? ?
Uncle Ming: Get out of the car. Xiao Zhao is across the street from you. I'll be at the hotel in half an hour.
Huanhuanzi:
......
"Does Ming City drink alcohol tonight?"
Although the higher-ups do not like officials gathering privately, they all mingle in the same circle, so it's impossible to truly keep a clear distinction between different groups.
They're eager to build connections and expand their network, just in case they come in handy someday.
"I'm not going tonight, someone is waiting for me at home."
Mingjia chuckled softly.
After walking around today, I saw that many of them had climbed their way up from nothing, though some had powerful backgrounds. But if we're talking about family wealth, the Ming family stands out as the most prominent and influential in the capital, enjoying a life of luxury and privilege.
When Ming Jiaye spoke, everyone naturally assumed that Old Master Ming missed his grandson and was asking him to go back for dinner, so they didn't dare to keep him any longer.
"When you go back, please give our regards to Elder Ming." Ming Jia could have chosen not to explain, but the capital city wasn't too big or too small, and it would be awkward if he ran into someone again that night, so he decided to be upfront and say, "I'm not going back today. My girlfriend is waiting for me to have dinner tonight."
Everyone suddenly became interested, wondering which young lady had managed to pluck this unattainable beauty, Ming Jiaye.
Zhou Yatang also looked over. His younger sister had reached marriageable age in recent years, and he had actually been helping her find a husband. If they were to look within his circle, people like Song Guizhou and Ming Jiaye would be quite good. Although the Zhou family was not as prestigious as these established aristocratic families, based on his personal achievements, his younger sister was certainly qualified to enter these powerful clans.
"The eldest daughter of the Song family?"
"Could it be that person from the Luo family?"
"Could it be one of those families that were granted titles?"
Seeing that everyone's guesses were getting increasingly outlandish, Ming Jiaye chuckled softly, her tone indifferent: "You met a few hours ago." Before anyone could react, Ming Jiaye slightly turned her head to look at Zhou Yatang, her fingertip casually tapping the armrest of the rosewood armchair, her tone rather playful: "Brother-in-law?"
