Chapter 161
Chen Yang was already sitting next to Zheng Xinru, taking her hand and saying, "Mom, haven’t you always said that nothing can stump a living person? Let’s look on the bright side."
Five women sitting in the house seemed somewhat desolate. Lin Jingran had been wanting to cry all along, merely holding it back. Although she yearned for a peaceful life, who in this environment would be a fool? Lin Jingran, who had managed to become the top Oiran without losing her virtue, surely relied on more than just her tongue to get there. In this world, those who could swim were already drowned; those who survived were the ones pretending to be confused while being fully aware of their situations.
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly oppressive. Lv Nan no longer wanted to stay, "Eldest sister, if there’s nothing else, I will head back first."
"Little Nan, I heard that you’ve had some dealings with Dong Cheng from Bohai Company?"
"There have been some, and we’ve gotten quite close recently," since she already knew, Lv Nan didn’t want to hide it any longer, "He meant to take advantage of this opportunity..."
Zheng Xinru raised her hand, indicating Lv Nan didn’t need to say more, "What he told you, I don’t care. What I mean is, some things are better discussed together. Let’s do it tomorrow. Contact him and we’ll all meet. He can decide the place."
Looking at the gracefully charming official wife sitting across the table, Lv Nan did not know how to proceed for a moment.
Zhang Xiayang had passed his phone to Ye Tian and told him that all the contacts inside were trustworthy, letting him feel at ease. Only when Ye Tian opened the contact list did he discover it had just two numbers. This meant that the so-called reliable people Zhang Xiayang referred to were in fact just these two individuals.
