Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 514: Taking Three Women Abroad



The lighting in the parking lot was dim, which further highlighted Liu Jing's fair complexion. Today, Liu Jing was wearing a blue and white cheongsam with a fur coat draped over it for warmth. Her earlobes were adorned with jade earrings that emitted a deep green hue. Overall, she exuded a very noble aura.

Seeing Liu Jing here, Zhou Yuwen was quite surprised.

Judging by Liu Jing's demeanor, it seemed she was waiting here for Zhou Yuwen specifically. She smiled warmly at him and said, "I've heard from Xinyi before that your company is here. I just didn't expect to run into you so soon after coming over."

Zhou Yuwen responded with an 'oh'. He was aware that Liu Jing had previously gone to see Su Qing behind his back. While he couldn't say he harbored any strong ill will towards Liu Jing, he certainly didn't have a good impression of her.

Nonetheless, given that she was Jiang Xinyi's mother, Zhou Yuwen maintained the necessary politeness towards Liu Jing. He instructed Shen Yu and the others to wait for him in the car.

As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen didn't shy away from patting Shen Yu on the shoulder. It was certain that Zhou Yuwen was never lacking in female companions. Shen Yu and Li Shiqi were riding in his car, while Tao Tian and Qu Jing, although they drove their own cars, would end up leaving together after work.

So as Zhou Yuwen's group of five girls filed past Liu Jing, even the least observant would find the situation suspicious. However, Liu Jing remained calm and remarked that her judgment was indeed correct.

"From the first time I saw you, I knew you weren't an ordinary person. I just didn't expect you to progress so quickly."

Zhou Yuwen replied that he hadn't.

"It's also thanks to Aunt Jing and Sister Xinyi's help."

In fact, Liu Jing always felt that Zhou Yuwen's current success was due to her family's influence. However, being directly acknowledged by Zhou Yuwen made her face flush slightly. She quickly denied it, saying, "How did we help you? Your achievements today are all due to your own ability."

Zhou Yuwen merely smiled at this and said, "By the way, I still don't know why Aunt Jing is looking for me."

Liu Jing said, "I heard from Xinyi that you've entrusted the office building project of your company to her."

"Yes, actually, I don't know many people in Jinling. Since your family is in this line of work, I thought I'd trouble you with it."

Zhou Yuwen's words clearly pleased Liu Jing. A project this big, calling it a 'trouble' seemed insincere as it was real business. Moreover, Zhou Yuwen, a nineteen-year-old with a fortune worth billions, spoke without arrogance and carried himself with integrity, standing tall and confident.

Even now, when Liu Jing looked at Zhou Yuwen, she couldn't avoid the perspective of a mother-in-law.

The more she looked, the more she liked him.

This was the perfect match she had personally chosen for Jiang Xinyi. How could she dislike him over a few incidents?

Liu Jing sighed and said, "You don't have to say 'trouble' at every turn."

"Auntie knows that by entrusting such a big project to Xinyi, it shows that you still care about Xinyi. To be honest, I never wanted to see you both in this state."

Zhou Yuwen awkwardly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the past. It was mainly my immaturity, unable to give Sister Xinyi the future she wanted."

Liu Jing initially wanted to ask Zhou Yuwen if there was a chance to start over, but before she could speak, Zhou Yuwen directly rejected the idea, avoiding her gaze, leaving no room for negotiation.

Liu Jing felt somewhat helpless and said, "Although you and Xinyi have parted, your relationship with Auntie remains, right? Surely, you wouldn't ignore Auntie just because you broke up with Xinyi?"

Liu Jing assumed Zhou Yuwen didn't know about what she had done, which seemed improbable. Otherwise, why would a forty-year-old woman sometimes appear so naive?

Zhou Yuwen didn't actively mention it, only smiling in response.

Liu Jing continued, "I remember when you first started dating Xinyi. You often came to pick her up but never truly visited our home. It would be a memorable occasion if you two reconciled."

"So, this time, Auntie came over to see when you might be free to come by our home for a meal. Would that work for you?"

Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Aunt Jing, actually it's not really a reconciliation. Sister Xinyi and I are just in a business exchange now..."

"Just humor an old aunt by having a meal with her, is that too much to ask?"

Before Zhou Yuwen could finish, Liu Jing had already reached out and gently took Zhou Yuwen's hand. Seeing Liu Jing's sincere effort in inviting him for dinner at her home was evident.

Unable to resist the appeal in her eyes, Zhou Yuwen nodded and said, "Alright, Auntie. Once the initial design draft is ready, I'll bring it over to your place for a visit and get your advice."

Liu Jing finally smiled broadly upon hearing these words and said that this was more like it.

"The issues between you and Xinyi are just emotional ones, not deep-seated animosity. As you continue to develop in Jinling, it's only natural to see each other frequently."

At this moment, Liu Jing still held Zhou Yuwen's hand. Despite being a pampered lady, her hands were soft and smooth.

Zhou Yuwen asked, "Has Aunt Jing helped Sister Xinyi find someone else?"

Liu Jing quickly shook her head, "Don't you know her temperament by now?"
