Romance

Of course, Hua Feng was extremely unhappy to hear that. She was currently heading the Hua family business, after all.
"You're out of line, Sis. You agreed to marry into the Xie family yourself when Dad and Mum discussed the matter with you earlier on; none of us forced you. Besides, I'm not taking this sum of money for myself. Who do you think I've been working so hard every day for?"
"All right, Big Sis. I'll catch you later."
Hua Sheng didn't like to argue and hung up immediately after sensing that their conversation was heading south.
She did not care what her eldest sister thought about her. After all, the five sisters didn't really have a strong bond with each other.
In fact, she could not be bothered with what other people thought about her. She had never thought of giving an official explanation to dispel all those rumors going around about her right now.
In the headquarters of HR

Xie Dongyang had brought his buddy out for a spin and did not expect to bump into Jiang Liu.
There weren't that many Rolls-Royces in River City, and Jiang Liu's license plate number was rather eye-catching—9999.
It did not take much effort to tell that the car belonged to him.
Xie Dongyang's interest was immediately piqued upon vaguely noticing that a young woman had gotten into the car with Jiang Liu.
As such, he decided to follow them.
He followed Jiang Liu's car from a distance until they arrived at a famous hotpot restaurant.
They were famous for their delicious Sichuan mala hotpot, and it was said that they stir-fried the soup broth themselves.
Jiang Liu brought Hua Sheng upstairs into a room he had reserved for them.
Xie Dongyang, meanwhile, followed closely behind with his buddy.
The restaurant owner recognized them as sons of rich tycoons and did not dare to stop them, for fear of offending them.
He thought Xie Dongyang was here to meet up with Jiang Liu and gave him the room number.
The doors were pushed open right when Jiang Liu and Hua Sheng had just sat down.
They hadn't even begun ordering their food.
The door was opened.
They raised their heads in amazement to look at the intruders.
Xie Dongyang was there, leaning against the doorjamb. "Say, Mister Jiang, aren't you newly-wedded? Why aren't you at home accompanying your wife instead of being dating your lover?" he said with a sarcastic laugh.
Jiang Liu was stunned.
As was Hua Sheng.
Xie Dongyang swept his gaze casually toward Jiang Liu's female companion and also became stunned.
He had seen many beautiful women before, especially since he started hanging out with female stars of the entertainment industry.
Beautiful women of all sorts of sizes and facial features.
However, he had not seen many women like this young lady, who did not seem to have any work done on her face, even when she did not put on any makeup.
Xie Dongyang had quickly forgotten about his motive for coming to the hotpot restaurant and was examining her closely.
She was moon-faced and even had some baby fat on her cheeks. Besides, she had a cutely-chubby jawline.
Her skin, on the other hand, was perfectly moisturized and full of collagen. He could immediately tell that she was young and took good care of herself.
Her eyes were just the right size and had double eyelids of the infold type that gave her a unique look.
She looked clean, and her lips were vermilion.
She looked... exquisite, and there was an old-school flavor about her.
Her facial features were just okay-looking when viewed individually, but when composed together, they were captivating.
She was dressed simply today—a white short-sleeved top and black palazzo pants.
Her thick, long hair hung down to her waist, making her seem like Guo Biting's doppelganger. It was a splendid, breathtaking sight to behold.
Xie Dongyang was secretly rueful of Jiang Liu's "great taste" in women—the girl was amazing to look at.
"You're really funny," Jiang Liu replied, the corners of his lips twitching slightly. He knew that Xie Dongyang was most likely mistaken.
Xie Dongyang wasn't about to stop, however.
"Young lady, do you know that the man beside you has just gotten married?" he asked Hua Sheng.
She nodded.
"My, my... You're a really bold one, aren't you? Are all mistresses so brazen nowadays? Do you feel as though you've accomplished something great? I guess you must ... You must have spent a lot of effort to get close to Jiang Liu and lost all sense of shame along the way. However, it'll be hard to explain if the media catches sight of you guys. More importantly... Mister Jiang, how are you going to answer to the Huas? I've heard that you transferred 500 million to your in-laws as a show of loyalty, yet here you are spending time with your lover in the afternoon. Where's your respect for your wife's family?"
Xie Dongyang looked as though he was rejoicing in his nemesis's awkwardness.
To him, it was pretty exciting to catch Jiang Liu having lunch with his mistress not long after getting married.
He rumbled on and on, looking extremely pleased. To Jiang Liu, however, he seemed hilarious.
He laughed softly for a while before replying, "I believe you're mistaken, Mister Xie. Allow me to properly introduce you to my wife, Hua Sheng."
Hua Sheng nodded her head with an indifferent expression on her face.
Xie Dongyang was stunned and looked at the young woman in amazement.

She was really overthinking this... Where would he find the time and energy to have a child with another woman?
He would most likely have his hands full just dealing with her. How could he possibly spare the time and effort to fool around?
Did she really think that he was a playboy in the same mold as Xie Dongyang? The kind that had nothing better to do than drink, splurge unnecessarily, and hook up with female celebrities every day?
Jiang Liu was the complete opposite of that. He had been accompanying his father to board meetings to take notes since he was 10.
He could hold morning briefings by himself at 16, and by 18, he had already become the legal representative of the HR Private Bank.
In other words, Old Master Jiang had been cultivating his son over the past few years, and he was about to hand the reins of the family business to him.
Rather than feeling uneasy about passing on the
