Chapter 320 - 320: Off-site Assistance
To a certain extent, the siblings in this family had similar personalities. Such people were often the center of conversation. When there were many people, they could not help but be teased.
Jing Yao and Zhu Ling knew this very well, so they didn’t find it strange.
However, the two of them did not talk much. After all, they did not grow up in a place like this, so they were still a little reserved.
Moreover, the two of them were not very good at interacting with their elders. In the past, Jing Yao would try her best to show herself at home, hoping that Zhang Li would notice her and give her some of her preference for Jing Yuan. Later on, she would deliberately reduce her presence when she knew that it was useless.
Jing Yuan would definitely find trouble with her if her presence was too strong.
Zhu Ling, on the other hand, was extremely insecure when it came to relationships because her parents did not go home when she was young and played their own games. She and her brother were the only ones at home. She did not have her parents’ company for a long time, so she did not know how to interact with her elders.
However, compared to Jing Yao, Zhu Ling was in a much better situation.
After all, her parents had never mistreated her materially.
Although the elders present joked about Shen Yu and his sister, they were also paying attention at all times and wouldn’t neglect Jing Yao and Zhu Ling.
Hence, the meal was considered fulfilling.
Almost at the same time, Liang Xun was having a toast with someone at the banquet.
Other than Zhang Ji, everyone present was a politician who paid attention to the project that Tengyue bid on. These people knew Liang Xun’s identity and had been informed by Zhang Jing in advance, so they did not make things difficult for him.
Originally, it did not matter to them who won the bid.
There was no loss to them if they gave up on Tengyue. On the contrary, they could build a relationship with the Zhang Family and Liang Xun because of this. Why not?
It was easy to get rid of these people, but it was not easy for Zhang Ji, who had been secretly sizing up Liang Xun.
Zhang Ji had been in the business world for many years and was a thousand-year-old fox that had cultivated into a demon. He didn’t mention Jing Yao and found other reasons to persuade Liang Xun to drink.
The others would give up as long as Liang Xun rejected them. However, Zhang Ji was different. No matter how Liang Xun rejected him, he insisted on letting Liang Xun drink.
However, he was an elder, so Liang Xun could not make things too ugly in public.
One glass after another of wine went down his stomach. Gu Yu, who was beside him, also knew Zhang Ji’s identity and did not dare to stop the wine for Liang Xun rashly.
He did not eat anything the entire night and only focused on drinking.
Fortunately, Liang Xun’s alcohol tolerance was not bad. However, no matter how good his alcohol tolerance was, he could not withstand drinking like this.
Seeing that Zhang Ji was about to ask the attendant to serve more wine, Gu Yu hurriedly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jing Yao.
Gu Yu: [Miss Jing, if you’re not busy now, call President Liang.]
At this moment, Jing Yao was sitting in the living room and chatting with them. Hearing the WeChat notification, she took out her cell phone and took a look.
After seeing the content of the message, she was a little confused.
However, she felt that this must be Liang Xun’s instructions, so she picked up her cell phone and greeted Sun Jia and the others before returning to her room.
Sun Jia was a little worried about her being alone. What if her stomach hurt in the middle of the night? She wanted Shen Zhao to sleep with her.
However, Jing Yao refused. After all, it would be inconvenient for her to talk to Liang Xun with Shen Zhao around.
Zhang Ji had just instructed the attendant to get two more bottles of wine when Liang Xun’s phone rang.
Liang Xun took out his cell phone and took a look. When he saw the caller ID, his fake smile became much more sincere.
He apologized to everyone present and left the private room with his cell phone.
Seeing the smile on his face, the Zhang brothers could already guess who was calling.
The two of them looked at each other. Zhang Jing leaned close to Zhang Ji’s ear and whispered, “You have to be careful too. 1 know you’re unhappy, but Yaoyao’s heart will ache if you hurt him.”
Zhang Ji took a deep breath and said softly, “1 can’t take it lying down. Jing Mo and Zhang Li were inhumane, but Liang Xun easily took Yaoyao away. How can there be such a good thing in this world?”
Zhang Jing actually had the same thought, but he knew better that Jing Mo and Zhang Li could only be blamed for this. They themselves were also negligent and could not blame Liang Xun.
“That’s enough. If it weren’t for Liang Xun, Yaoyao would have suffered a lot. We were in the wrong too. For more than 20 years, we never discovered Yaoyao’s existence and made her suffer so much.” Although Zhang Jing was a little unhappy, he still said something fair..
