A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1448 - 282: Bewitched and Astonishing the World_5

"Bang!" The sound of a door closing completely shut out all eyes.

Wherever there are women, there is always gossip. As soon as Yan Song left, a group of women gathered and started gossiping incessantly. Gossip knows no profession, class, or age; it’s almost a woman’s instinct.

"Minister Yan is really so handsome. The more I see him, the more I love him. I can’t help myself anymore, I’m deeply infatuated."

"Wake up, will you? He’s already got a fiancée. Didn’t you see the woman in his arms? Who else could make the usually aloof Minister hold her besides his fiancée?"

"Ahhhhh... She’s snatching my idol, how infuriating."

Someone curiously asked, "What’s the background of Minister Yan’s fiancée?"

The technician from the third department, Zhang Yuan, a gossip enthusiast, immediately said excitedly, "I know, I know, listen to me."

Everyone looked at her, even some male colleagues who were doing other things perked up their ears.

"Minister Yan’s fiancée is named Ji Yunya, a very famous socialite. You can look her up online for her bio and photos. I tell you, this woman is remarkable. She comes from an affluent family in Jiangzhou, you should know about that Ji’s Real Estate, right? That’s her family’s business. Not only does she have billions in inheritance, but she also owns an estate comparable to the UK’s Imperial Palace. Its luxury is breathtaking. She’s a modern-day princess, and she was called a prodigy since childhood. Rumor has it she could recite Tang and Song poems at three and read English newspapers at four. You guys must have seen ’The Parent-Child Battle,’ that popular parent-child variety show from years ago. She was the ordinary child paired with Ming Han, and she was incredibly famous. Just as she was at her peak, she suddenly disappeared. People said she went abroad, but anyway, there was no news of her for many years. Two years ago, she suddenly appeared in the public eye again. With her stunning looks and charm, the media crowned her the number one socialite of Jiangzhou, and everyone who met her said the reputation was well-deserved...."

Zhang Yuan’s mouth was dry, and a companion handed her a glass of water, which she gulped down. "Thank you."

"Hurry up and tell us how she and Minister Yan met!" someone asked anxiously.

Zhang Yuan gave her a sideways glance, "What’s the hurry? As for how she and Minister Yan met, that would take three days and nights to tell...."

"Then make a long story short."

"They were childhood sweethearts, a perfect match of talent and beauty. If they weren’t together, even the heavens couldn’t bear it. And I heard Lady Yan particularly likes her and has long approved her as her daughter-in-law."

"Hmph, she’s just got a pretty face. What’s there to brag about?" a woman said dismissively.

Zhang Yuan laughed, "Yeah, not only does she have a pretty face, but she’s got a high-IQ brain too. I heard she graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine at thirteen with dual master’s degrees. When we were thirteen, we were probably in junior high, carrying school bags, right? A scholar’s life needs no explanation."

"You’re just blowing it up, aren’t you? No way that’s true."

"I’m really not exaggerating. There’s a thread about her online. A University of Washington alum posted a set of graduation photos, and netizens identified the backdrop as the young Ji Yunya. At the very least, it proves Ji Yunya did graduate from the University of Washington. The media have already consulted the university about it, and while it’s not officially confirmed, it’s almost an open secret."

"Besides, didn’t the socialites in the Capital City start that Fangyuan Society or whatever, organizing opening spring meetings, which are basically for showing off. Those socialites’ admiration for Minister Yan isn’t a secret. But since Minister Yan already has his beloved fiancée, he doesn’t even give them a second glance. So they transferred their anger to Miss Ji. That opening spring meeting was like a trap, and Miss Ji went gracefully. Guess what happened?"

"Did she embarrass herself?"

"Nonsense, it was the others who got embarrassed. Her perfect piano playing was called master-level by experts in the videos circulating online, her calligraphy developed its own style, and her chess skills even bested a national champion’s granddaughter. Tell me, who among you can rival a woman this versatile?"

As Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

"So, I tell you, just fantasize about it, after all, daydreaming isn’t illegal, right?"

"What are you doing? Gossiping during work hours, do you all want to be penalized?" A stern female voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled, quickly dispersing like birds and beasts.
