Chapter 401: No denial is tacit agreement
These wealthy ladies were all shrewd. They could tell that the beautiful woman in the cheongsam was openly wearing a man's coat, which meant she was already taken. Hearing Xiao Ling's words, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Isn't your brother-in-law the young CEO Yan from the Yan family who spends most of his time abroad?"
Xiao Ling smiled and replied, "Yes, he's been staying in China recently."
"So you got a girlfriend from China? Does that mean you'll be settling down in China from now on?"
"I heard that the Yan family seems to be planning a marriage for him. I was wondering which family's daughter would be so lucky, but there's still no news. I wonder which family this one is from?"
Liang Liangwei naturally couldn't reveal Commander Liang's identity so easily. She was mostly familiar with families within the compound system, and rarely met people from the business world.
Xiao Ling was well aware of the first point. She glanced at Liang Liangwei and smiled, saying, "They've only been together a short time. You'll know her identity once it's officially announced. I can't say more, please forgive me. Anyway—"
She took Liang Liangwei's hand affectionately and said, "She's not an ordinary girl."
Liang Liangwei was very grateful to Xiao Ling for helping her out of this predicament. The two smiled at each other, understanding each other without saying a word.
Xiao Ling represents the Yan family, so she certainly won't speak carelessly. The shrewd wives all started to have their own little schemes, and the way they looked at Liang Liangwei changed.
Someone recognized Liang Liangwei and said, "I remember now. At the business cocktail party that day, President Yan did bring his girlfriend. Although photos and news were not allowed to be leaked at the party, I saw her there. This is President Yan's girlfriend."
The ladies gasped in surprise: "So she'd already shown up before! Too bad I didn't go that time!"
Another person said, "I also remembered something else. Wasn't there a rumor circulating online that Xiao Yan and a stylist surnamed Liang were forming a couple? Neither of them came forward to clarify, so it was always rumored that they were secretly dating. I've seen that stylist's photo, it's this lady!"
The wives exclaimed, "Oh, I know about that too! My daughter even told me about it. Such sensational news, if the person involved hasn't denied it, it must mean they've admitted it. It seems my daughter was right!"
Instantly, their gazes towards Liang Liangwei intensified, and they all took out their phones to try and get closer to her.
"Ms. Liang, let's add each other on WeChat. I am..."
"Count me in too. I've heard Mrs. Yan talk about your work before. I'll be in your shoes to style me for all the events I attend from now on. I'd like to sign a year-long contract with you."
……
Liang Liangwei hadn't yet integrated into the circle of these wealthy ladies and maintained a polite smile. Suddenly, she was surrounded by them with great enthusiasm, which made her feel flattered.
However, this is also a good opportunity to promote her company. Even if she doesn't take these orders herself, it's good to bring some customers to the other stylists in the company, especially since Lan Yin is also preparing to transform her career.
"Okay, please wait a moment—"
She was about to take out her phone when Xiao Ling blocked her way from behind.
"What's the rush? The auction is about to start soon. Can't you see my brother-in-law standing over there waiting for someone? I only brought this person here temporarily under the pretense of introducing Weiwei to a new friend. I'll be returning the person to him later."
The ladies looked up and, sure enough, saw Yan Zhixu standing by the window not far away, smoking and looking this way. They all fell silent.
Xiao Ling added, "I promise that after the auction, I will definitely give you Weiwei's WeChat contact information."
"Okay, it's settled then~"
Liang Liangwei: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Her public address of Xiao Ling as "sister-in-law" further confirmed her relationship with Yan Zhixu.
The atmosphere among the group was just getting along when suddenly someone spoke up sharply: "Mrs. Yan, I seem to remember you once telling me that Liang Liangwei was your son's girlfriend. How come she's suddenly become Mr. Yan's girlfriend? Is her relationship with your family really that complicated?"
A deathly silence fell over the scene, followed by a gasp from someone.
"Wh...what? This isn't about first the nephew and then the uncle..."
"Is the relationship really that complicated?"
Xiao Ling and Liang Liangwei's expressions changed, and they looked at the person who spoke.
It was He Yaxiu, who was pursing her lips and glaring at Liang Liangwei with a look of resentment.
Liang Liangwei was surprised to find He Yaxiu at the auction, and even more coincidentally, He Yaxiu's wife was with her, looking rather embarrassed.
She subtly tightened her grip on her side, but her face showed no sign of panic. She even smiled at the other person and said, "Ms. He, I know you and my boyfriend failed your blind date and are a little unwilling, but... spreading rumors is very unethical."
Xiao Ling looked at Liang Liangwei with some surprise.
She knew about the party where Yan Zhixu and He Yaxiu were arranged to look at each other.
This time, He Yaxiu's face turned ugly: "What did you say? Who...who with him..."
Liang Liangwei: "Do you dare say you didn't go on a blind date with him at that party? And that he didn't reject you? He told me that himself. Or, shall we go and confront him?"
He Yaxiu fell silent, her face turning pale and ashen, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt so tightly they nearly tore the fabric apart.
It's not shameful to go on a blind date; what's shameful is failing on a blind date and having the other person's current partner expose it in public!
She could hear the whispers around her, and the way they looked at her seemed to be mocking her.
She bit her lip, took a step forward, and her tone became somewhat aggressive: "So...so what if I was rejected? Is it as despicable as flirting with your nephew and then your uncle? You're morally corrupt, and you think people can't even talk about it?"
Xiao Ling couldn't hold back any longer and said coldly, "Mrs. He, control your daughter! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Mrs. He's face also looked unwell, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, she's just in a bad mood tonight, so she lost control of her emotions. I'll take her away right away."
He pulled He Yaxiu back, saying, "Stop talking! Come home with me!"
He Yaxiu said unwillingly, "I'm not lying. It was clearly Mrs. Yan who told us that Liang Liangwei was her son that day..."
Mrs. He covered her mouth and said sternly, "You still dare to talk!"
Even if Mrs. Yan really said that that day, so what? This is a matter for the Yan family, what does it have to do with them? Can they afford to offend the Yan family?
If they anger the Yan family, the He family will no longer be able to operate in Huacheng!
That daughter is so foolish!
He Yaxiu pushed her away, tears streaming down her face, feeling wronged: "Mom, you're helping her too, you're helping everyone else, why aren't you helping me—"
"What's the noise about?"
A cold, sharp voice rang out, instantly silencing the chaotic scene and even suppressing He Yaxiu's crying.
He Yaxiu stared blankly at the man who walked over and stood beside Liang Liangwei, momentarily forgetting to cry.
