zhan ze choked on leng rongrong’s words.
he had seriously prepared a touching speech, but before he could finish, leng rongrong’s words made him forget all about it.
” i’m not being pretentious. i’ve prepared a lot of touching lines to thank you for discovering me, but you … can’t you let me talk properly? ”
zhan ze looked at leng rongrong in despair.
leng rongrong patted zhan ze’s shoulder. ” no need to thank me. i didn’t do anything. you’re famous because of your talent. even without me, you’re still very powerful. in other words, if your design wasn’t good, i wouldn’t have bought your things.”
zhan ze nodded. leng rongrong’s words were to the point, but he was indeed very grateful to her.
leng rongrong had indeed helped him a lot. without her, he might have become famous, but it would not have been so easy, and he would not have become famous so early.
“you don’t have a boyfriend, do you? although i know that the chances are slim, i still want to ask.”
zhan ze looked at leng rongrong affectionately and said, ” i said i would pursue you back then. no matter if you’re a beauty or an ugly monster, i think you’re my soul mate. ”
” … ” leng rongrong took a deep look at zhan ze. ” that sounds a little disgusting. ”
“i’m serious.”
“i don’t have a boyfriend, but i have a husband!” leng rongrong burst into laughter and patted zhan ze’s shoulder. ” you don’t have a chance anymore, i’m already married! ”
“you’re married?” zhan ze looked at leng rongrong in disbelief, his face full of disbelief. ” don’t tell me you’re really fifty years old! he only looks like he’s eighteen years old!”
“he’s not just eighteen, but he’s not fifty either.” leng rongrong shrugged. ” a woman’s age is a secret. it’s best if you don’t know. ”
zhan ze was speechless.
“you’re really married?”
“it’s true. so, keep your distance from me. my husband is also on the ship. he’ll be jealous if he sees you.”
“w-who’s your husband? song junlin? i didn’t hear that he got married recently. or that sun zhizhen? mo linyuan?”
zhan ze still looked at leng rongrong in disbelief.
“mo linyuan.” leng rongrong said, ” you should have heard of his marriage, right? although not many people have heard of it, there should be quite a number of people who know about it. ”
” so, you’re that wild girl from the countryside, the eldest daughter that the leng family forced on mo linyuan? ” zhan ze facepalmed. ” didn’t you say you were divorced? because fourth young master mo is a fake cripple, the mo family’s corporation has been in a state of chaos recently. i heard that they even cleaned up the leng family.”
“who said that?” leng rongrong frowned as she looked at zhan ze.
” someone else said it … didn’t they say that the leng family was in a terrible state? the entire family was chased out of the country. ”
“that’s them, what does it have to do with me?” leng rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly. ” i don’t have any relationship with the leng family. do i look like i’ve been kicked?”
“you don’t look like it. you look like you’re living a very comfortable life.” zhan ze’s mouth twitched as he shook his head. ” rumors really can’t be trusted. ”
leng rongrong and zhan ze chatted for a while.
suddenly, a woman walked up to her and said, ” i have something to tell you! ”
the woman looked a little nervous. her eyes were darting left and right as if she was worried that someone was staring at her.
“xu rourou?” leng rongrong looked at xu rourou, but before she could react, xu rourou had already pulled her out of the banquet hall.
zhan ze wanted to chase after her, but xu rourou glared at him and shouted coldly, ” don’t follow me! ”
thus, zhan ze cowered and he didn’t follow.
leng rongrong was also shocked by xu rourou’s imposing manner. she looked very weak, but when she shouted at zhan ze just now, there was a strong killing intent that exploded from her body.
xu rourou was pulled to an empty corner. she looked at leng rongrong and said anxiously, ” she’s hired a killer. i know you’re strong, but she’s hired one of the top ten killers on the murder list. it’s very dangerous. you have to be careful. ”
although xu rourou was very anxious, she did not know what to do.
“top ten on the kill list?” leng rongrong suddenly chuckled. was her old acquaintance coming again?
last time, she remembered that one of them ran away so fast that she didn’t even have the chance to compete with him!
her chance of being on the kill list depended on the top ten of the kill list. she heard that after her name was on the list, she could have assassination missions with high pay and it was very fun.
leng rongrong’s eyes were full of interest.
at present, xu rourou was still anxious because she did not have the ability to guarantee that she could escape the assassination of the top ten on the murder list. she was worried that leng rongrong would not be able to protect herself.
xu rourou was genuinely worried about leng rongrong. after all, leng rongrong was the first person who wanted to be friends with her.
she wasn’t favored at home and was hated by many people in the upper-class society. she didn’t have many friends.
of course, she wasn’t good at socializing and couldn’t compare to her sister, xu rule. she wasn’t good with words, and her uncle didn’t like her …
xu rourou was wearing a very ordinary evening gown at the moment. her makeup and hair were very ordinary.
she was supposed to be very good-looking, but she didn’t seem to know how to dress herself up or deliberately keep a low profile, making herself very inconspicuous.
leng rongrong glanced at xu rourou, who was worried about her.
“rou rou, don’t worry. i might not be able to handle the top ten on the kill list, but the rest of the top ten should not be a problem.”
“top ten on the kill list, are you sure?” xu rourou was shocked by leng rongrong’s words, which sounded nonchalant but contained some arrogance.
she knew that leng rongrong must be very powerful.
however, she did not expect leng rongrong to be so arrogant.
the top ten on the murder list were people that even her little uncle would be wary of, but in leng rongrong’s eyes, they were just a piece of cake …
“i’m sure,” leng rongrong said indifferently, ” i’m just waiting for the top few on the kill list to assassinate me. only then can i be on the list! ”
xu rourou looked at leng rongrong in disbelief.
this girl might even be younger than her, but she was so arrogant?
why did she feel that he was even more arrogant than her sister, xu rule?
however … no matter how arrogant she was, she was not detestable.
“then i’ll follow you later. if there’s any danger, i can help you.” xu rourou said.
“that’s fine.” leng rongrong nodded, then looked at xu rourou and asked, ” how are things between you and xu shiting? ”
“what do you mean how is it?” xu rourou was a little embarrassed.
