Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Liang Shuzhen Arrives
Though he had finished speaking, Zhou Hengguang and Xu Xiaoxiao could tell, and even Liu Chun was aware. The men’s expressions varied, some gloating, some worried, but most were just eager to watch the drama unfold.
If the rumors were indeed true, that would be interesting.
Song Jinyan said he had no ulterior motives, but they would never believe that.
“Alright, let’s head out too! Hengyang has reserved a spot at the hotel to thank everyone for coming,” Liu Chun said proactively.
Unable to purchase the bags, they could only leave; they couldn’t possibly follow Song Jinyan’s example, could they? Though they were there to support the event, they couldn’t overdo it, as overdoing it could displease Su Wen. After all, a store relies on a steady stream of customers, not friends who buy everything.
Song Jinyan could afford to do that, but they couldn’t.
Zhou Hengguang’s sharp eyes behind his glasses accurately found Su Qing, who was talking to someone. He hesitated for a while but still followed the others out.
He couldn’t rush; he had to take things slow.
Zhou Hengguang had always been an experienced hunter, not an impulsive young lad.
“Deputy Director, someone is watching you.” Just as they were leaving the store, Ji Fang said quietly, pointing to Liang Shuzhen, who was pretending to look closely at the bags. “It’s her, she’s been watching you ever since she got here.”
Zhou Hengguang had noticed Liang Shuzhen a while ago. “It’s fine.” The Liang family actually paled in comparison to the Zhou family. They had some distant relations, and Liang Shuzhen had even dared to call herself the fiancée of Big Brother, which was practically suicidal.
She didn’t even take a look at who she was, claiming honors she didn’t deserve.
Zhou Hengguang was quite upset about this and had confronted Liang Zhengji about it, who, scared, immediately sent Liang Shuzhen abroad. Now that she was back, she still hadn’t learned her lesson. Zhou Hengguang’s patience had grown compared to the past, and he was too lazy to bother with such people now.
But some people, if you don’t make things clear, don’t realize their own limits.
Thinking this, Zhou Hengguang’s expression grew colder.
It seemed he still needed to have a talk with Liang Zhengji. If he couldn’t teach his daughter, Zhou Hengguang wouldn’t mind lending a hand.
Liang Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief only when Zhou Hengguang had left. She didn’t know what it was about this youngest son of that family, but she was very afraid of him. Especially after that time he had caught her talking to Zhou Nini, she had been frightened enough to stay away from the Zhou family for a while.
And she hadn’t dared pursue Zhou Hengyang anymore.
She wouldn’t have come today if her colleagues hadn’t mentioned the grand opening of a luxury boutique in the city center. Once there, seeing Zhou Nini, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, leading a group of influential youths, infuriated her.
She called so many people, yet she hadn’t invited Liang Shuzhen.
Before Liang Shuzhen could confront Zhou Nini, she saw Zhou Hengguang and his group. Not only her, but many others had noticed them too, whether it was Zhou Hengguang, Zhou Jihuai, Xu Xiaoxiao, Xu Junfeng… each one stood out from the crowd, dazzingly prominent.
Many people were secretly watching them.
But Liang Shuzhen didn’t dare; she wished they’d just leave immediately.
Hidden in a corner, when she saw Su Wen’s sister acting like the lady of the house, the host of the opening ceremony, Liang Shuzhen’s heart scratched by claws of jealousy.
This boutique everyone was talking about was opened by the Su sisters?
How could that be?
So many prominent people had come to support the Su sisters. How could that be? Just country bumpkins, what gave them the right?
She was a high-achieving student returned from studying abroad, stuck every day in a small dance troupe, even having to pander to others.
