Chapter 220: Where is your escort?

Qin Nianzu's expressions reflected mockery. "What is it that I want?" A cold chuckle followed. "Shouldn't it be me who must be asking that what do you want?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Liuwei's tone altered to an even firmer one, indicating he was not in for some rubbish. He demanded a direct answer from that man.

"Old man, you seem to have aged up so much that your memory has started failing you, haven't you? Is this why you are unaware of your granddaughter's involvement with my arch enemy?"

Tang Liuwei was startled. 

Qin Nianzu archenemy? Could it be someone from the 'Li' family... Wait, was he referring to the business association Tang enterprise had with the 'Li' family.

"That has nothing to do with you, Qin Nianzu. That was only normal business agreements."

"Is that so?" Qin Niqnzu's tone was cold with an edge of scoffing. "Too much of a coincidence, don't you think? I have seen how your granddaughter has supported your business. She is a rare talent, I must comment."

"You—" Tang Liuweu felt himself brimming with anger. In a gloomy tone, he warned. "I'm telling you, Qin Nianzu, stay away from me and my granddaughter!"

Qin Nianzu laughed. "What a hypocrite you are, old man. Even after all those years, you haven't changed, have you? I wonder would your granddaughter still be willing to call your her grandfather once she learns what have you done. Once she learns, what have you done with her mother for your own selfish wishes...Jing Lihua, isn't it her name? A beautiful name I must comment. I see she has the same green eyes."

"Qin Nianzu!" Tang Liuwei's face was red with anger. "You don't dare to utter her name from your mouth. Or I swear to God—"

"You swear to God what?" Qin Niqnzu didn't let him any break. "Tang Liuwei...you are an old man. Your rein has already ended. At this age, you must already have realized that the truth can't stay hidden forever. By silencing me, you can't bury the truth. Sooner and later, you will have to suffer the consequences for your actions all those years back." His eyes darkened. "And to be honest, I am looking forward to that day."

At the cocktail party in the Royal Continental Hotel, after Jing Lihua's appearance, there had been a sudden hush in the venue. After a moment of silence, a murmur of whispers followed. The subject of everyone's discussion was the same.

After the recent divorce between Jing Lihua and Su Liwei, and the great drama that ensued after

the videos leaked, the whole city had been thrown into a series of a violent storm of sensational events. One after another, shocking pieces of news were revealed. And the focal point of everything was still, the 'Su' family.

From Su Liwei and Jing Lihua's divorce to Su Lanfen shameful revelation to Su family head disowning his only daughter; everything was so exciting and stirring.

And it the middle of all, Jing Lihua, despite divorcing Su Liwei, had somehow been able to avoid the focus of people criticism. At her sudden disappearance from the news, everyone was curious. However, their attention was soon swayed be more spicy gossips regarding Su Lanfen and all those stars whose dark activities were brought in front.

However, now at such a grand event, in the presence of all the socialities of the city, Jing Lihua sudden appearance rekindled the sparks of curiosity in their hearts.

After everything, in the initial news, Jing Lihua had been presented as a victim.

But as time passed, people opinions shifted.

Since Su Liwei was someone looked up by a lot, and Jing Lihua was the one who presented the divorce first, the people still developed a sense of general animosity towards her. 

No matter what, even if it was Su Lanfan's fault, Elder Su had punished Su Lanfan by disowning her.

Then why must take her anger out on Su Liwei? Why must Jing Lihua use this excuse to divorce Su Liwei? Why must she act so high and mighty? Being a woman, could she not be humble and tolerating?

Jing Lihua's eyes scanned through her surrounding. 

'Well, well. Today's event is definitely different from that time at the bar. In the bar, few people gave notice to me. However, these women are here to gossip and find weak points in others to criticize and make themselves feel superior.' Jing Lihua sighed in her heart. 'But that doesn't matter to me. Their opinions doesn't matter to me. Once the 'Su' family is uprooted, everyone who holds an opinion against me would be my devout fan in a matter of minutes. In any way, this doesn't concern me. The purpose behind my today's visit is to end the future threat...Gu Ting.' With that thought, Jing Lihua's eyes glimmered in determination.

In a distance, Jing Lihua spotted someone he had a contact a few days earlier. It was a government official who had been invited to the opening ceremony of the Mall.

Jing Lihua about to approach him to have a few words with him when He Zhouyan approached Jing Lihua earlier with a very amiable smile. Sensing her coming in her direction and that very

friendly-looking smile, Jing Lihua already smelled trouble.

But since there were so many eyes upon her, she could not simply ignore her.

"Jing Lihua, you have finally arrived. You have no idea how worried I and your sister had been when you didn't show up." He Zhouyan said. Then her eyes shifted behind her as if searching for someone. With a frown, she asked. "Where is your escort? Jing Lihua, don't tell me he would come separately? You are the President of a big company at such an important post. You are a pride of our family. How could you let yourself wait for him?"

Just as Jing Lihua expected, He Zhouyan didn't spare a second to start getting at her.
