Chapter 673: Performance
When they finally got off work, Guan Tang invited everyone to a meal. However, everyone had their own matters to attend to and quickly left.
Zhuang Ning, however, looked as though she was considering the invitation.
Peng Peng had already received hints from Zhuang Ning so she also said she had to go home soon.
Seeing that Zhuang Ning had yet to agree, Guan Tang invited Zhuang Ning again.
Peng Peng said worriedly, “That won’t do. Sister Zhuang Ning can’t simply appear in public. Otherwise, who knows what kinds of headlines will appear tomorrow?”
Guan Tang was not discouraged. She asked happily, “Then, Zhuang Ning, do you want to visit my house? I live alone. We can chat all night!”
Zhuang Ning seemed rather keen, but Peng Peng was still slightly worried.
Guan Tang said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’m not a bad person. Ye Cheng is my cousin-in-law. I heard you’re his sister’s former assistant, right?”
Peng Peng turned to look at Zhuang Ning.
Zhuang Ning finally nodded.
Peng Peng said reluctantly, “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Miss Guan. Did Miss Guan drive? Sister Zhuang can’t leave in her car. Otherwise, the paparazzi will definitely follow her.”
Guan Tang was overjoyed. “It’s alright. I’ll get the driver to pick us up.”
While Guan Tang was on the phone, Zhuang Ning and Peng Peng communicated briefly.
Zhuang Ning wanted to see what kind of monster this cousin of Ye Cheng’s fiancee was.
Guan Tang was immersed in her happiness. Seducing Ye Cheng aside, it was not a bad idea to get to know the woman Ye Cheng seemed to like. Perhaps, she might obtain important information. As long as she could make Yin Jia suffer, she was very willing to do anything.
…
Zhuang Ning looked at the long wall in front of her as a strange feeling rose in her heart.
Guan Tang poured a glass of water and said, “I plan to hang landscape paintings on that wall. I know it looks out of place now.”
Zhuang Ning withdrew her gaze and took a seat.
After handing Zhuang Ning a glass of water, she sat next to Zhuang Ning. She asked bluntly, catching Zhuang Ning off guard, “Zhuang Ning, you like my cousin-in-law, right?”
The glass of water almost slipped out of Zhuang Ning’s hand when she heard this.
Guan Tang was inwardly delighted. It seemed like she had guessed correctly. She pressed on. She said with a slightly sad expression, “He likes you too, right? The way he looks at you… He has never looked at my cousin like that.”
Zhuang Ning was slightly taken aback. “Didn’t you say they’re getting married?”
Guan Tang shrugged. “Yes. However, who said that people can only marry each other for love?”
Zhuang Ning fell silent, looking extremely vulnerable.
‘What a beauty. Even when she looks sad, Yin Jia can’t compare to her beauty,’ Guan Tang praised inwardly. She did not expect Ye Cheng to like this kind of woman. She took note of it and thought she should change her tactic.
Guan Tang continued to say, “There are many kinds of marriages. Have you heard of business marriages? My cousin and Ye Cheng’s marriage is a business marriage. With their marriage, the interests of the two families will be linked. It has nothing to do with love. However, I can see the love between you and him earlier. What do you plan to do?”
Zhuang Ning sighed softly and said in a low voice, “I don’t know.”
…
At the same time, Jiahui, who was in the secret room, could not figure out why Zhuang Ning would come to Guan Tang’s house. However, after listening in for a while, she had a vague idea of what was happening.
Jiahui sighed when she looked at Zhuang Ning’s every action and word. As expected of an actress. She thought that Zhuang Ning’s control over her emotions and expressions was amazing.
Through Song Ning, Jiahui knew that the target of Zhuang Ning’s revenge was Ye Cheng. She thought that it was kind of enjoyable being able to watch Zhuang Ning’s performance now.
