Chapter 21
This Is My Wife, Lin Qingqian
Before he could continue speaking, Jiang Yanshen’s deep eyes swiveled over like ice blades, and his thin lips moved. “I heard that President Lu has arranged 30 socialites and blind dates for you. It must have been hard on you to still have the time to come out and socialize.”
Lu Qinshang immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Jiang Yanshen, you… why do you have to bring this up.”
Lu Qinshang left the gold mine at home and insisted on entering the entertainment industry to be a celebrity. His old man could not dissuade him, and he did not think well of the female celebrities in the entertainment industry, so he simply arranged for more than half of the socialites in Lan City to go on blind dates with him.
The old man even said, “As long as Lu Qinshang gets married and gives birth to an heir, he can do whatever he wants!”
This was the biggest joke and topic of conversation in upper-class society recently.
Lu Qinshang felt that he was just a tool to carry on the family line for the old man. He had lost his love and was feeling melancholic. It was not easy for him to come out to relax, but he was stabbed deeply by Jiang Yanshen. How could he not be angry!
Jiang Yanshen ignored him and lowered his head to say to Lin Qingqian, “Lu Qinshang, Gu Xici, you know them all. There’s no need to be polite with them. You can call him Little Six.”
Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes in anger. “Jiang Yanshen, don’t push your luck.”
He was just joking when he called her a bun. Was there a need to expose his dark history?
Although Lin Qingqian knew them, she was not familiar with them. She knew that Lu Qinshang did not like her, but she did not know why he was called Little Six.
Jiang Yanshen seemed to have seen through her doubts and explained, “His surname is Lu.”
Lin Qingqian immediately understood. When she looked at Lu Qinshang, her clear eyes were filled with laughter and mockery, as if she was saying, “To think that you would have such a day!”
Lu Qinshang snorted unhappily. “I’ll go get some wine.”
He turned around and walked towards the reception area.
Gu Xici glanced at Lu Qinshang’s back and then looked at Jiang Yanshen. “Bring Qingqian to greet Chairman Liang first. I’ll go and comfort Little Six.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded.
Before Gu Xici turned around, he nodded at Lin Qingqian politely.
Lin Qingqian smiled in response. For some reason, she felt that Gu Xici was different from Lu Qinshang. He didn’t seem to hate her that much.
He did not have the banditry and roughness of a criminal police officer. After all, he was the young master of an aristocratic family. His self-restraint came from his bones.
Jiang Yanshen brought Lin Qingqian to greet the host of tonight.
The other party was an old senior in the business world. When Jiang Yanshen first took over the Tianyue Corporation, the other party had even guided him, so Jiang Yanshen had always respected him.
“Qianqian, this is Chairman Liang, and this is Madam Liang.” Jiang Yanshen introduced them concisely. “This is my wife, Lin Qingqian.”
Lin Qingqian did not expect him to introduce her so formally. After being stunned for a second, she greeted politely, “Hello, Chairman Liang and Madam Liang.”
Chairman Liang was celebrating his 70th birthday tonight. Although his face was filled with wrinkles and age spots, his amiable gaze when he looked at Lin Qingqian was filled with the love and care of an elder for a junior.
“Previously, when I heard you say that you were married, I thought you were lying to me. I didn’t expect it to be true. To think that I wanted to introduce that lass to you.”
Madam Liang glared at him with a smile. “Dream on. How old is our girl? She’s willful and doesn’t know the rules. How can she be worthy of Yanshen? I think this girl is a good match.”
Jiang Yanshen was rarely humble. “Madam, you flatter me. Miss Liang is young and cute. Naturally, she wouldn’t fancy an uncle like me.”
Chairman Liang and Madam Liang laughed.
Madam Liang: “How are you an uncle when you’re not even 30? Nonsense!”
She paused and looked at Lin Qingqian. “From your accent, you don’t sound like a native of Lan City.”
Lin Qingqian: “I’m from Yushan. I only came to Lan City at the age of 18.”
A trace of joy appeared in Madam Liang’s eyes. “I’m also from Yushan. Unfortunately, I haven’t been back there in a long time. Have you gone back in the past few years? Is everything alright there?”
“I went back once last year, and everything was fine,” Lin Qingqian replied.
Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly, confusion appearing in his eyes. Did she return to Yushan last year?
Why didn’t he know?
