It was a luxurious suite . A sheer lace curtain covered the living room window, and it gave one a hazy view of the outside .
Yan Rusheng walked in . On the couch sat a slightly plump middle-aged man .
When the man saw Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng, he laughed as he stood up . “President Yan . President Ming . ”
“Lawyer Zhou . ” Yan Rusheng smiled and politely nodded . His steps remained steadfast as he walked over and shook hands with the man .
Both of them sat down after that .
Lu Yishan served them tea .
Both of them emerged from the hotel . Against the blazing sun, Ming Ansheng knitted his eyebrows and looked at Yan Rusheng with a smile . “You can breathe easy now . ”
Yan Rusheng sighed . “Not yet . ”
Ming Ansheng tightly pressed his lips at the corner . He then patted Yan Rusheng on his shoulders in reassurance . “We can only do our best . ”
The two of them descended the hotel’s staircase at the main entrance . They tossed out their car keys as they walked past a grand fountain .
“President Yan . President Ming . ”
A woman’s voice suddenly sounded from the front .
Yan Rusheng and Ming Ansheng looked over in unison . An elegantly dressed middle-aged woman was walking towards them while two burly looking men in black suits followed suit .
Suddenly, Ming Ansheng recalled something . His eyes lit up as he looked at Yan Rusheng . “I remember now . The woman earlier was Jiang Zhuoheng’s cousin, right? Her name… her name ends with a ‘ting ‘ . ”
He couldn’t recall her full name at that moment .
The middle-aged woman walked closer, but Yan Rusheng kept a straight face . Ming Ansheng got the hint and prepared to step forward to greet her .
He retracted from his thoughts and politely greeted the middle-aged woman . “It’s rare for President Jiang to visit the Capital City . ”
President Jiang was Jiang Zhuoheng’s aunt . She was the President of the conglomerate, Paramount, whose assets were worth more than the Jiang Corporation .
Jiang Shaomei smiled and answered, “My daughter just returned from overseas and came over to the capital city . I’m here to visit the Old Master and at the same time, to fetch Yanting home . ”
Ming Ansheng nodded . “That’s right, her name is Yanting . ”
He finally remembered . No wonder she was so unreasonable towards him and Yan Rusheng .
Ming Ansheng’s response left Jiang Shaomei bewildered . “What?”
She got a sudden fright .
Ming Ansheng smiled as he explained . “We bumped into President Jiang’s daughter in the hotel earlier on, but I couldn’t recall her name at that spur of the moment . ”
Jiang Shaomei smiled again and she affectionately chided . “That wretched lass said she wanted to come and visit her grandfather, and yet insisted on staying in a hotel . She almost drove her grandfather up the wall . ”
Ming Ansheng grinned . “I could still recall she was mischievous since she was a child . ”
The truth was, he didn’t have a deep impression of Xin Yanting . If he hadn’t run into Jiang Shaomei, he wouldn’t have remembered her .
No wonder she was so cocky and arrogant—the young mistress of Paramount .
“We won’t hold President Jiang back . We’ll make a move first . ”
Yan Rusheng, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke .
With that, he took to his feet and strode past Jiang Shaomei without a second look .
He strode off in a haste . Jiang Shaomei turned and took a look at him before fixing her gaze at Ming Ansheng .
“He has something urgent to attend to,” explained Ming Ansheng with a smile .
Jiang Shaomei magnanimously dismissed it with a wave . “It’s alright . I know his character too well . ”
She wasn’t the least offended by him .
“Then I’ll make a move too . ” Ming Ansheng regained his footsteps and caught up with Yan Rusheng . “Third Yan, since she’s Ah Heng’s aunt, you should show her some respect . ”
Yan Rusheng’s face changed and looked perplexed . “Why must I show respect to my love rival’s auntie?”
