Chapter 820: Flattering the Wrong Person

Cola Novels always has a story waiting for you to open.

Due to proper management and his residence in Shanghai, Huang Xiaochuan rarely appears in the public eye, let alone in newspapers or media, and he refuses all interview requests.

However, in Hong Kong and Singapore, where the media is everywhere, their whereabouts could no longer be completely hidden.

Moreover, with the development of the Internet age, news of Huang Xiaochuan's appearance in Hong Kong and Singapore naturally spread to the mainland, becoming a topic of conversation among some circles in Shanghai. After all, this elusive big shot is said to have always lived in Shanghai.

People in these circles in Shanghai have always wanted to find an opportunity to get to know this big shot, but unfortunately they never have the chance. This big shot almost never participates in any circle activities, except for academia.

It is said that last time, he made a rare appearance at a charity auction gala, where he spent tens of millions of dollars in one go, which shocked and envied countless people.

Ren Jing, Qian Meiqi, and Sun Yue were no exception; they liked to discuss these gossips when they got together.

The group had arranged to have dinner at a Michelin three-star restaurant in Pudong. While enjoying their meal, they also gossiped about the news about Asia's richest man online.

Ren Jing said to the others with a matter-of-fact expression, "If you ask me, Huang Xiaochuan and that Zhang Yun are definitely having an affair. They're even living in her house. Isn't that obvious enough?"

Qian Meiqi didn't agree, but instead said, "I don't think so. Someone like Huang Xiaochuan, what kind of woman can't he find? Why does he have to find a strong woman as his mistress? I think the thing online is that he's going to Zhang Yun for a capital alliance. In the eyes of rich people, nothing is more important than business."

Sun Yue, who was sitting next to Ren Jing, was Ren Jing's best friend, so naturally she would speak on Ren Jing's behalf. Besides, Ren Jing was the one who treated them to this meal.

"Mrs. Ren is right! What man isn't tempted by a fling, especially a top-tier tycoon like him? Just look at all the wealthy people we know—aren't they all keeping their wives at home while having affairs on the side?"

Unfortunately, Sun Yue's flattery backfired on Ren Jing. Ren Jing's man happened to be one of the types Sun Yue described—one who kept the home fires burning while having affairs on the side.

Ren Jing's face immediately turned ugly. Qian Meiqi noticed this and quickly kicked Sun Yue lightly under the table. Sun Yue didn't react at first, but she quickly realized she had said the wrong thing after seeing the look Qian Meiqi gave her. She quickly made amends.

"Oh dear, Mrs. Ren, don't misunderstand. I was talking about Huang Xiaochuan."

Ren Jing forced a smile: "It's okay, I know!" But she was cutting the lamb chops on the plate with force. Qian Meiqi, who was sitting opposite her, was worried that Ren Jing would cut the plate in half again because she was cutting so hard.

Suddenly, Qian Meiqi looked behind Ren Jing with a surprised expression, because she seemed to see Zeng Xia.

Zeng Hong naturally saw the news of Huang Xiaochuan's appearance in Singapore. No one knew the relationship between Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Yun better than her. After all, Zeng Wentian, also known as Yawen, was adopted by her and was considered her son. However, he was still living in Singapore with his biological mother, Zhang Yun.

With news about this flooding the internet, Zeng Hong couldn't help but worry that Yu Xiang might take offense. So, tonight she organized a dinner party for Yu Xiang, her brother Huang Xiaochuan, her sister Zeng Xia, and her brother-in-law Huo Miao.

Coincidentally, Ren Jing and her group were also eating at this restaurant, so they bumped into each other.

This Western restaurant doesn't have private rooms; guests dine at tables in the elegantly decorated and spacious lobby. The best seats are by the window, located on the 39th floor of the building. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the beautiful city night view. In addition, the restaurant is a Michelin-starred establishment, so it's naturally not easy to get a window seat.

Otherwise, Ren Jing and the others wouldn't be sitting in the middle of the hall to eat. But even so, it's still pretty good, considering that this restaurant requires reservations two weeks in advance, and window seats require an even longer waiting period.

After sitting down, Tang Jianhua explained to his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, "Today I'm treating you to a different kind of food. We'll have a Western meal. I've heard the food at this restaurant is quite good, and I'm taking this opportunity to learn how to make it!"

Tang Jianhua wasn't wrong; he was indeed planning to open a Western restaurant, but he was currently in the site selection and recruitment phase.

Yu Xiang responded enthusiastically to her sister-in-law, "Okay! Let me take a look at the menu first."

Seeing that Yu Xiang seemed normal, Zeng Hong felt a little relieved.

In fact, Zeng Hong didn't know that Huang Xiaochuan called Yu Xiang several times a day in Hong Kong and Singapore. He told Yu Xiang all his travel plans truthfully so that she wouldn't worry. He also told her about staying at Zhang Yun's house. Huang Xiaochuan believed that things should be done openly and honestly, and that hiding things would only make things more complicated. Besides, that was the situation. Yu Xiang had always known about Ya Wen and Luca, so there was no need to hide his actions. Therefore, Zeng Hong was worrying unnecessarily.

Yu Xiang was well aware of her sister-in-law's intentions in inviting her out for dinner at this time. It would be impossible for her not to have any thoughts about it; the two children in Singapore had always been a knot in her heart. But since things had already come to this, she could only accept the current situation.

The elderly mother, Zheng Aiying, even visited her in person to offer some advice. She said that she knew her husband best. They had known each other since childhood and had been husband and wife for so many years. To be honest, Huang Xiaochuan had never done anything to wrong her, so she trusted her husband's character.

Zeng Xia is a regular at this restaurant, and the waiters all know her. When they see her, they greet her warmly.

"Xia is so beautiful!"

This made Zeng Xia extremely flustered. She secretly glanced at her brother and the man, and only when she saw that they didn't say anything did she feel relieved.

Huang Xiaochuan saw all of this and chuckled to himself, but he didn't show it on his face.

Huang Xiaochuan's second sister wasn't really that bad. In fact, spending a little money on her wouldn't be a big deal, since he wasn't short of money anyway. The main problem was that she had this habit of making trouble out of nothing, which needed to be properly addressed. Huang Xiaochuan also knew that those rich ladies who were with his second sister had come up with all sorts of bad ideas behind her back, so cutting off his second sister's financial support would also cut off her connection with those rich lady friends.
