Chapter 146: Sister Shuang

Hearing Manager Wu mention Sister Shuang, my body trembled. Sister Shuang—could it be the Sister Shuang who saved me before? It seemed unlikely; perhaps the person’s name just happened to share a character with Sister Shuang’s.

However, when Huang Heng and Liu Hong heard the name Sister Shuang, they were terrified. None of them dared to speak. As for Liu Zhenxing, he was also startled when he heard Manager Wu’s words. It was clear that this "Sister Shuang" was very intimidating, as she had scared them all like this.

Liu Zhenxing quickly apologized to Manager Wu, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Manager Wu. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me, Manager Wu!"

Seeing that Liu Zhenxing had apologized, Manager Wu didn't say anything else but looked at me and said, "How are you? Are you okay?"

I shook my head and said, "I’m fine, thank you, Manager Wu!"

Manager Wu smiled at me and said, "Don't be so formal. Calling me Manager Wu is so distant. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Wu from now on!"

I smiled awkwardly, knowing that I couldn't make Manager Wu lose face at this moment, so I called out, "Uncle Wu!"

Hearing my words, Manager Wu was pleasantly surprised and smiled, "If you need help with anything in the future, just tell Uncle Wu. Don't ever treat Uncle Wu as an outsider!"

Liu Zhenxing’s expression changed drastically when he heard Manager Wu’s words. He didn't understand why Manager Wu cared so much about me, which put a lot of pressure on him.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yifan looked at Manager Wu and said, "Wu Hao, when did you become so enthusiastic about helping people?"

Wu Hao looked at Jiang Yifan and quickly smiled, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Jiang? When did you arrive, Young Master Jiang? You didn't tell me in advance so I could have someone entertain you separately!"

Jiang Yifan chuckled and looked at Wu Hao, "Fine, that was really perfunctory. I don't know if Bai Yueshuang knows about this behavior of yours."

Hearing the three words "Bai Yueshuang," I was stunned. Bai Yueshuang was Sister Shuang’s name. Could this Sister Shuang really be the one who saved me back then? This was too much of a coincidence.

Wu Hao didn't care at all about Jiang Yifan’s words and continued, "Sister Shuang would definitely understand what I’m doing. Besides, I don't need to report everything I do to Sister Shuang. Yang Yun is a young man I think is very good. He has Sister Ling, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future, so I don't think there’s anything wrong with investing in him now!"

If Wu Hao had said such direct words before, I would have been embarrassed to death, but now my skin had thickened a lot, and my thoughts were still on Sister Shuang.

Jiang Yifan snorted upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, "Sister Ling? Yu Manling? I can't believe Yu Manling would make friends with such a person. I really don't know what she’s thinking or how she sees things!"

"What I’m thinking and how I see things—that’s not for you to worry about, is it? You’re overstepping your bounds!" Just then, Sister Ling happened to come over.

Sister Ling was walking with several very beautiful mature women, and one of them was none other than the Sister Shuang I had been longing for. I didn't expect Sister Shuang to really be here, and judging by Wu Hao’s words, Sister Shuang was the main initiator of this banquet.

Seeing Sister Shuang, I felt exceptionally awkward and wished I could immediately hide under the table so she wouldn't see me. Although I had fantasized about meeting Sister Shuang countless times in my mind, when I actually saw her, I suddenly felt very awkward and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yifan saw the people who had arrived, then looked at Yu Manling and smiled, "Oh, Sister Ling, you really arrived just in time. You weren't waiting here specifically for me, were you?"

Yu Manling chuckled and looked at Jiang Yifan, "So what if I was waiting for you? And what if I wasn't? Is that any of your business?"

Yu Manling didn't give Jiang Yifan any face at all. Although Jiang Yifan was angry, it was clear that he had no way to deal with Yu Manling. It was evident that Sister Ling held a relatively high status here.

Jiang Yifan could only say awkwardly, "Yes, Sister Ling, whatever you like to do is fine!"

Jiang Yifan then walked up to Bai Yueshuang and said, "Yueshuang, you look very beautiful today. Did you dress up so beautifully on purpose for today?"

Bai Yueshuang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let’s stop pretending. We both know what’s going on in our hearts. You don't like me, and I don't like you, so let’s stop pretending all day. Do whatever you want. Weren't you just picking up girls? Honestly, I don't care, as long as you don't interfere with me picking up men!"

Hearing Bai Yueshuang’s words, Jiang Yifan’s face turned livid, "You bastard! If you dare to pick up men, just wait for death!"

Bai Yueshuang also looked at Jiang Yifan with a cold face and said angrily, "So you’re allowed to cheat on me, but I’m not allowed to cheat on you? Our two families are in a commercial marriage, and there’s no affection at all. Don't we both know that very well?"

Just as Jiang Yifan was about to get angry, Huang Heng and Liu Hong quickly stopped him and advised, "Young Master Jiang, calm down, calm down! There are so many people here!"

Hearing their words, Jiang Yifan closed his mouth, but his eyes were dark and uncertain.

However, I understood now: Jiang Yifan and Bai Yueshuang were in a commercial marriage and had an engagement. It seemed today’s banquet was their engagement party, which was why so many people had come.

Seeing Jiang Yifan so frustrated, Chen Ling, who was beside me, mocked, "You were so arrogant just a moment ago, why are you so frustrated now?"

Hearing Chen Ling’s words, Jiang Yifan’s expression was dark and uncertain, but he still smiled and said, "What arrogance? You’re joking. I was just joking with you guys earlier!"

Seeing this guy’s suddenly changing face, I felt more and more that this person was incredibly sinister.

However, Bai Yueshuang acted as if she didn't see me, as if she didn't know me at all, which made me very strange, but I didn't dare to step forward to ask.

Not long after, the engagement banquet began. I had seen this kind of process on TV; it was basically the same, just going through the motions. Everyone was busy with their own things, chatting with their own people, and congratulating Jiang Yifan and the others.

Many people came to chat with us at the banquet, basically people looking to hit on Chen Ling and Zhang Yinuo, or beauties looking to chat with Third Brother and me. However, Third Brother actually started chatting with a few married young women. They were also very beautiful, and most importantly, those young women were also very rich. After all, everyone who could come here was a wealthy person. What I didn't understand was what kind of taste these young women had—they were actually interested in someone dressed like Third Brother. I really didn't know what these women were thinking. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
