Chapter 61: Not Biological
“Looking for Jiang Yuan?” Cao Laoting’s eyes shifted slightly, and she clenched her teeth in anger, asking in a gruff voice, “What’s your relationship with her?”
How does that brat Jiang Yuan know so many rich men?
“You don’t need to know.” The man took out a stack of cash from his wallet and handed it to her, “Tell me, what kind of person is Jiang Yuan?”
Cao Laoting looked at the money, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She quickly took the money, moistened her finger with a bit of saliva, and said while counting the money, “That girl Jiang Yuan has been bad since she was little, her grades were poor and she was always hooking up with men.”
One thousand two hundred yuan!
After Cao Laoting finished counting the money, she flicked it with her finger, looked up at the person in front of her, and continued, “Last time she also took one hundred thousand yuan from an old man and let him touch her for an afternoon in the park.”
The man furrowed his brow and examined the other party, somewhat doubting the truth of these words.
“I advise you to dump this promiscuous woman quickly!” Cao Laoting leaned closer to him and said smilingly, “My daughter is different, she’s well-behaved and sensible, and never talks to men… Hey, why are you leaving?”
Meng Yunting was already doubting the truth of her words, and when he heard her mention her own daughter at the end, he didn’t want to listen anymore.
If it weren’t for her saliva on the money, he might have wanted to get the money back.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked at the community entrance. Meng Yunting opened the driver’s side door and got in.
Glancing at the information about Jiang Yuan on the passenger seat, his eyes darkened slightly. He frowned, feeling a surge of annoyance and helplessness.
Heavens really like to play jokes; the sister he doted on for twenty-three years was not his biological daughter.
In Jiang Yuan’s stereotypical impression, a zoo director should be a middle-aged man wearing a shirt and trousers, with a belt around his waist.
But when she saw the charming woman in front of her in the private kitchen’s private room, she was surprised.
“Miss Jiang, hello.” Wei Fangfei extended her hand to her, her eyes full of smiles, “I am Wei Fangfei.”
“I didn’t expect the zoo director to be so young and beautiful,” Jiang Yuan held her hand and couldn’t help but sigh.
“I agree about being beautiful, but regarding youth…” Wei Fangfei smiled, “I’m forty-two years old, not young anymore.”
Forty-two years old?
Jiang Yuan blinked her eyes and said with emotion, “But you look at most thirty.”
“Miss Jiang, you’re very eloquent.” Wei Fangfei gestured for her to sit down and handed her the menu, “See what you’d like to eat.”
Jiang Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and ordered a few dishes.
Wei Fangfei added a few more dishes, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said solemnly, “Miss Jiang, thanks to your help, the tiger garden has been saved from danger twice.”
With the tour bus incident last time, if it hadn’t been for Jiang Yuan, there might have been several casualties in the tiger garden.
Wei Fangfei had always wanted to thank Jiang Yuan, but was afraid of being too abrupt.
Unexpectedly, before she could thank her, she had to trouble her again.
Feeling ashamed, she quickly took out a jewelry box from her bag and said earnestly, “Miss Jiang, this is a small token of my appreciation. Thank you so much for your timely help.”
The logo on the jewelry box was Cartier.
Jiang Yuan’s expression was calm, and she chuckled lightly, “It was just a coincidence that I could help, please don’t mind it.”
She pushed the jewelry box back to Wei Fangfei.
“This…” Wei Fangfei was a little helpless for a moment.
It was the first time she had given a gift and been rejected.
If Jiang Yuan didn’t accept gifts, how should she express her gratitude?
Moreover, there might be times in the future when she would need Jiang Yuan’s help.
Seeing her difficulty, a faint smile touched Jiang Yuan’s lips, “Director Wei, haven’t you already invited me to dinner?”
“Dinner counts as a thank you?” Wei Fangfei looked surprised.
In her social circle, expressing gratitude was not that simple.
Jiang Yuan thought of herself in the dream, with only money and profit in her eyes, unwilling to harm those who treated her sincerely.
She pressed her lips together, a subtle firmness flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Yuan said slowly, “Director Wei, I feel your sincerity, so accepting your thanks and finishing this meal together is enough.”
This simple sentence, however, stirred ripples in Wei Fangfei’s heart.
Then what were her friends who always asked her to give designer bags and jewelry for the slightest reason?
Jiang Yuan ate this meal freely, while Wei Fangfei was somewhat preoccupied.
It was already 8:30 PM after the meal.
Jiang Yuan said goodbye to Wei Fangfei at the entrance of the private kitchen, “Director Wei, goodbye.”
“Miss Jiang, please wait.” Wei Fangfei quickly said.
Jiang Yuan smiled, “Do you have something else?”
“Miss Jiang, can we add each other on WeChat?” It was always others who wanted to add Wei Fangfei on WeChat; this was the first time she had been so proactive.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay.”
After adding each other on WeChat, Wei Fangfei watched her get into the car and leave, but she couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.
She had lived for forty-two years and some things she saw were not as clear as that of a young girl.
It wasn’t until her phone rang in her palm that her thoughts were pulled back.
Wei Fangfei saw that it was her best friend Meng Zhiwei calling and swiped the screen with her finger to answer, “Awei? I’m at the private kitchen, what’s wrong?”
On the other end of the phone, Meng Zhiwei sighed, “Come have a couple of drinks with me. Today I heard from my sister-in-law that Lanlan isn’t her biological daughter…”
Late at night, Ning Jia Nian sat in the nanny van after finishing work, staring at his phone in a daze.
The screen was paused on his chat history with Jiang Yuan.
He clicked into her Moments, expecting to see the usual “visible for three days” setting, but unexpectedly, she had updated ten minutes ago.
Jiang Yuan had posted nine photos: tigers, lions, pandas, and two exquisite and cute children.
Ning Jia Nian flipped to the last photo and finally saw a picture of Jiang Yuan herself, though it was only a back view.
She was wearing a white jacket, her slender figure standing by the guardrail, reaching out her long, fair hand to pet the tiger’s head.
Ning Jia Nian’s pupils constricted, and he felt scared even through the screen.
Wasn’t she afraid?
At this moment, the assistant beside him suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, “Oh my god! Isn’t this a movie scene? Someone actually dared to ride a tiger!”
“Ride a tiger? What?” Ning Jia Nian happened to see the tiger and casually asked.
The assistant immediately turned the phone screen to him, “Brother Nian, look, this girl is so brave!”
Ning Jia Nian had only intended to glance at it but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
“This is…”
Assistant: “This is Yun Jing Zoo. The reporter said this girl is an animal consultant, she’s so amazing.”
“Forward it to me.”
“Okay.”
The video quality was not very clear, but it was still possible to make out Jiang Yuan’s beautiful features and slender figure.
She sat on the tiger’s back, her expression calm and composed. Whether it was the tiger’s aura or not, Ning Jia Nian even felt that such a Jiang Yuan exuded an imposing presence that couldn’t be underestimated.
So handsome!
I like her so much!
Ning Jia Nian saved the video and then opened Jiang Yuan’s chat window. After thinking for a moment, he sent her the video of Xiao Zhi.
