Chapter 186 - 185: Just Because I’m Less Educated Doesn’t Mean You Can Fool Me
Feeling the scornful gaze from across, Lu Tianxing was taken aback, his face speechless. This matter had nothing to do with him; he was just a bystander, why drag him into it?
Besides, these days, having money is only secondary—real skill is having the personal "hardware" to back it up. Otherwise, it would all be over within five seconds. How could anyone play that game? Men could conquer women with money, but they could equally conquer with their "hardware" or at least secure a free casual relationship.
Without even looking at Lu Tianxing’s displeased expression, Wang Lian turned around, affectionately wrapping her arms around the man next to her, and said, "Ba Wanghua, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Huang Feng. He’s currently the assistant manager of the sales department at Zhang Group, about to be promoted. Little Feng Feng, this is Xue Man, the beauty queen of our school back in the day. Sadly, no one dared to pursue her because behind her back, everyone called her Master of Extinction, a real Ice Queen. Despite her deceiving appearance, she’s a woman nobody wants. Look at her now, desperate and settling for just any man."
"I’d rather be unwanted than be someone who just anyone can sleep with. I’ve heard about a woman, shameless enough to seek thrills by not even sparing the elderly gatekeeper in his seventies or eighties," Xue Man retorted, her expression unchanged, her tone mocking.
The two women went back and forth, their exchange sharp as blades, their glances as chilling as a cold wind, making even Lu Tianxing, seated beside them, feel the fiery sparks flying in the air.
Lu Tianxing listened in utter shock. Not sparing even a man in his seventies or eighties—wasn’t that taste a bit too much? Wasn’t she afraid of killing the poor old man? Wang Lian seemed somewhat attractive but played extremely dirty—he now realized why city folks were considered so savvy!
"So what if I did? It’s still better than being someone who can’t find a husband. Someone once told me that we should strive in our youth, be adventurous and explore the world. I’m still young, so of course, I seek the thrills young people crave and enjoy things others can’t. Look at you, picking up just any boyfriend after school. He’s broke, dressed in tatters. Can he even satisfy you in bed? Want me to spend some money and find you a couple of foreign studs to show you what a real ’man’s presence’ is?"
Wang Lian jeered loudly, unbothered by Xue Man revealing her past. Instead, she flaunted her attitude with arrogance, which left Lu Tianxing speechless again, and feeling somewhat sympathetic towards Huang Feng, standing beside him. Being the boyfriend of such a woman certainly required a strong heart.
"You needn’t bother, Miss Wang. It’s actually I who am eager to see whose child you’ll have in the future—whether he’ll be British, American, local, or a mix. Also, this man is not my boyfriend. He is Chairman Bai’s assistant, named Lu Tianxing, merely on a business trip with me today. Lu Tianxing, this lady is Miss Wang, the HR manager of Zhang Group, reportedly climbed into this position by hooking up with a shareholder of Zhang Group," Xue Man explained.
