Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 272 - 10: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (10)
Tao Xinzhu saw Jiang Lai walking over and immediately raised her hand to greet her, with a gentle and cheerful smile on her face.
Her smile reminded one of bamboo swaying in the spring breeze, truly pleasing to the eye.
In the original protagonist’s family, the father was overly domineering, which was why the protagonist instantly fell for men like Tao Xinzhu who were gentle.
Of course, Tao Xinzhu was surely aware of the protagonist’s feelings, but he never broke the unspoken bond, maintaining a "pure" friendship with the protagonist, with an attitude that was sometimes distant and sometimes close, making him hard to pin down, and causing the protagonist to continue yearning for him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai walked over with her backpack and smiled softly at Tao Xinzhu.
"You came to listen to the lecture too?"
"Yes, the chairman of Hang Yuan Group is coming in person, it’s indeed a rare opportunity for us, I didn’t expect to see you here."
"I’m here to learn some tips and see how to manage a company."
"Is Uncle Jiang planning to retire so young?"
Jokingly, Jiang Lai nodded directly.
"These things should be done sooner rather than later, but you wouldn’t understand."
After speaking, Jiang Lai stepped into the lecture hall without bothering about Tao Xinzhu behind her, a slight embarrassment and confusion appeared on his face.
Was it intentional or unintentional?
In the past, when Jiang Lai spoke to him, she would always deliberately avoid the gap in their social status, striving to give him no pressure.
But today, whether it was her tone or demeanor, they had a bit of a strong and arrogant feel, making her seem a little unfamiliar to him.
Helplessly, he shook his head and waited for some classmates before entering the lecture hall with them. Seeing Jiang Lai sitting in the middle, he chose a spot behind her, then took out his notebook to make notes.
In front, Jiang Lai made a phone call, chatted a bit with Mike who had recently gone abroad, then Little Buding whispered into her ear.
"Jiang Ruantian and Jiang Han also came. Gotta say, Jiang Han is pretty thick-skinned, daring to return to school right after being released."
Jiang Ruantian naturally sat beside Jiang Lai.
Because there was no one sitting on either side of Jiang Lai, after Jiang Ruantian sat down, those around couldn’t help but cast curious glances, most appeared incredulous.
After all, this Jiang Ruantian transferred in mid-semester, that alone was enough to pique curiosity, now sitting directly beside Jiang Lai, and sharing the same surname stirred up many associations.
Some in the same class as Jiang Ruantian already knew a bit of information.
"Don’t you know? Jiang Ruantian is Jiang Lai’s younger sister."
"Doesn’t Jiang Lai have only Jiang Han as a sister? Where did another one come from?"
"I don’t know, but anyway, the luxury car that used to pick Jiang Han up from school recently started picking up Jiang Ruantian, and didn’t you check Jiang Jianbing’s Baidu encyclopedia? Under the children section, there’s Jiang Ruantian’s name."
Others couldn’t help but search and indeed, apart from Jiang Lai and Jiang Han, there was Jiang Ruantian.
"Then where was she before? Moreover, we have students from Jiang Ruantian’s previous high school; they said her family was just ordinary, selling vegetables, how did she overnight become a CEO’s daughter?"
"Things in the rich circles aren’t something we ordinary folks can understand, it’s deep waters."
Soon the lecture hall doors were shut, the entire hall with over five hundred seats was packed, some without seats sat on the staircase at the back.
When Mo Zhoujing was assisted onto the stage, the hall fell silent altogether, everyone seriously observing what the big boss of an internet enterprise looked like, since Mo Zhoujing rarely appeared in public before, even the occasional photos in reports mostly showed his side face or back view.
So when everyone clearly saw Mo Zhoujing’s appearance, the hall resounded with uncontrollable exclamations.
"So young! And so handsome!!"
"That’s shallow, being handsome is the least of Mr. Mo’s advantages, did you know he ranked second in last year’s domestic Forbes list?"
"Suddenly feels like whether a person has legs isn’t that important."
"He’s too young! Can he even be thirty?"
"This year he’s exactly thirty, compared to other young entrepreneurs around his age, Mr. Mo truly combines beauty and brains!"
Amid low-pitched sighs, Jiang Ruantian for the first time saw Mo Zhoujing, dressed in a low-key black shirt, even sitting in a wheelchair couldn’t hide his towering stature, his back straight like pine, beneath his short hair were composed eyes, eyelids low, nose high, even silent he’s hard to neglect his sharp and cold presence.
His voice when speaking was deep and magnetic, making people unable to resist getting absorbed.
"I’m Mo Zhoujing, honored to share a bit about my personal work or entrepreneurial thoughts with everyone here."
Many took out notebooks to record, Jiang Lai’s interest waned halfway through, well-spoken but just not suitable for her.
Compared to this, Jiang Lai preferred hearing about the strategies he used to aggressively acquire other enterprises.
The hall echoed with Mo Zhoujing’s clear, methodical voice, slow yet steady.
It had a bit of a soothing effect, Jiang Lai yawned, pulled on her baseball cap and tilted the brim down, then closed her eyes to sleep.
Beside her, Jiang Ruantian showed a helpless expression, looking up again at Mo Zhoujing on stage, suddenly she felt his gaze moving towards her, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Dream memories gave her a clearer understanding of Mo Zhoujing’s strength, the man before her was more excellent and mysterious than appeared.
In the dream, he had once proposed to marry her.
But back then, her heart was lost to that scumbag Zhao Sili, having no interest in the cold and proud Mo Zhoujing.
After awakening from the dream, she had countless cold sweats and was infinitely grateful none of it had happened yet, she still had ample opportunity to change her fate.
Thinking of this, she looked at the man on stage with increasing resolve.
This time, regardless of why Mo Zhoujing wanted to marry her, she would agree without hesitation.
Because she knew, to win beautifully, she must hold tight to this golden opportunity.
The one-hour lecture soon ended, many were reluctant, once Mo Zhoujing left, everyone exited while bustlingly discussing the legendary figure.
Jiang Lai woke up when almost everyone had left, Jiang Ruantian reminded her.
"Dad is heading home early today."
"If he goes home early, then he goes home early, what’s that got to do with me."
