Chapter 322: This Form Of Address Is Not Appropriate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liang Xun stayed in Lin City for two days and was socializing all day long.
The bidding competition began and Liang Xun went. Zhang Jing and Zhang Ji went with him. None of them expected to meet Jing Mo there.
He sat in the seat assigned to Tengyue. Beside him was Tengyue’s chairman. The two of them were chatting when Liang Xun and the rest entered the venue.
Zhang Ji’s face darkened the moment he saw Jing Mo.
Their family had fallen apart because of Jing Mo, and their sister—whom they had doted on since she was young—had also changed beyond recognition. Now, Zhang Li was in a daze all day long. She had been contacting her lawyer in private for the past few days.
Ever since she was rejected when she looked for her two brothers last time, she did not look for them again. Instead, she went around contacting people.
Zhang Jing had clearly said that although he could not help her abuse her power for personal gain, he would find the best lawyer for her.
However, Zhang Li did not listen to him. It was as if she was angry with her brothers and went out to look for a lawyer herself.
Her stubborn personality was exactly the same as before. Because her father said that he would sever his father-daughter relationship with her if she wanted to be with Jing Mo, she really never contacted her family.
Sometimes, they could not help but reflect on whether she had become like this because they doted on her too much when she was young.
She clearly looked quite smart, but she was fooled by Jing Mo.
When Liang Xun and the others saw Jing Mo, Jing Mo also saw them.
This was the first time Liang Xun saw Jing Mo, but he still recognized Jing Mo at a glance. Jing Mo’s facial features were outstanding. Even though he was over 50 years old, one could still see the handsomeness of his youth from his face. Moreover, he suddenly gave off a gentle and refined feeling.
It was no wonder that Zhang Li noticed him the moment she saw him.
Such a person had already welded a hypocritical mask on his face. He probably even had deceived himself.
They were all from Lin City. Zhang Jing and his brother knew Lin Yan, the chairman of Tengyue. Zhang Ji had even seen Lin Yan many times at cocktail parties and had simple conversations with him in the past.
However, Zhang Ji did not like Lin Yan’s eyes. No matter who he looked at, he felt that he was scheming against him. Hence, even if Lin Yan came up to him, Zhang Ji did not want to pay attention to him at all. Gradually, Lin Yan stopped approaching him.
Now that they met, Lin Yan took the initiative to stand up and welcome them.
He clearly knew that they were enemies, but he still smiled and looked very enthusiastic. He even reached out to shake Zhang Ji’s hand.
After Zhang Ji found out that this person was related to Jing Mo, he couldn’t even be bothered to smile fakely. He didn’t even reach out and just looked at him expressionlessly.
Lin Yan’s eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He had a good mental fortitude. Since Zhang Ji, whom he was acquainted with, ignored him, he silently retracted his hand and looked at Zhang Jing. “I didn’t expect Mr. Zhang to come today. But I remember that Mr. Zhang isn’t in charge of this project.”
Zhang Jing said indifferently, “I’m just invited to take a look.”
“I see.” Lin Yan smiled and looked at Liang Xun, who was half a step behind the two of them. He sized up Liang Xun for a moment and narrowed his eyes with a smile. “This gentleman looks unfamiliar. Is he a junior in Chairman Zhang’s family?”
In fact, he knew Liang Xun. When he wanted to take on this project, he wanted to expand his influence to Bi City. When he reached Bi City, he would inevitably fight with the Liang Corporation.
As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. He had long investigated the Liang Corporation and Liang Xun clearly.
Zhang Ji glanced at Liang Xun. Liang Xun’s face was expressionless and his gaze was distant, as if he did not take Lin Yan seriously at all.
Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows. His opinion of Liang Xun was suddenly not as bad as before. He admired such people who had character and would not feign civility if they did not like the other party.
He nodded and replied to Lin Yan calmly, “Yes, nephew-in-law.”
Liang Xun looked at Zhang Ji with an inexplicable expression.
Coincidentally, Zhang Ji also tilted his head to look at him. When their eyes met, he clearly read a message in Liang Xun’s eyes: Yaoyao has yet to acknowledge you as her uncle. This form of address is not appropriate.
“…” Zhang Ji.
He had just changed his opinion of him a little when her impression of him instantly worsened.
Lin Yan didn’t know what the two of them were thinking. He was a little shocked himself and instinctively glanced in Jing Mo’s direction. Jing Mo had clearly said that the Zhang Family didn’t care about Jing Yao. After all, they had never seen Jing Yao since she was young, so the Zhang Family wouldn’t attack him if he attacked the Liang Corporation.
However, now that they were attending the bidding conference together, Zhang Ji even personally admitted Liang Xun’s identity. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Did he look like he didn’t care?
