"Did they die from the fall?"
Yan Mingyu's fingers glided, enlarging the picture on her smartphone.
It was taken by a drone enthusiast, but possibly due to the distance, the photo was sowhat blurry.
One could barely make out, a figure in a duckbill cap standing at the edge of a balcony, the mont they let go.
Wrapped in a blanket, was a disheveled woman.
Then, the caption beneath the photo read: "Last night at Zifu Courtyard villa, soone fell from a building, suspected to be the well-known entrepreneur, Liu Nanyan."
"Probably not dead, huh... Who did it, I wonder? Really doing a public service!"
As Yan Mingyu's best friend, Liu Xiaoxiao naturally knew of the diabolical asures her honorary mother had used to take back control of the Four Seas Corporation.
"Heh... maybe so chivalrous hero acted to remove the scourge!"
A slight curve ford on Yan Mingyu's ruby lips as her eyes swept unintentionally across Qin Yu.
This man was bold!
Liu Nanyan must have used so petty tricks on soone close to him. Angered, he barged into Liu Nanyan's house and tossed her wrapped up in a blanket from the second floor.
He might not have killed her, but surely gave her a fright to rember.
So satisfying!
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, what thod do you think could get soone quickly married off?"
After handing her phone back to her best friend, Yan Mingyu asked.
"Baby, are you running a fever?"
Liu Xiaoxiao reached out and felt Yan Mingyu's smooth forehead suspiciously, "It's normal, why say such confused things?"
"I'm serious, my grandfather's health isn't too good... I want to get married soon, to fulfill his wish!"
Yan Mingyu bit her lip as she spoke.
"So... how far have you gotten with your current husband?"
Liu Xiaoxiao saw her best friend was not joking, and her expression beca serious.
"Ah, going through a divorce now, there's an additional month of cooling-off period, so in about ten more days, I should be able to get my divorce certificate!"
Yan Mingyu let out a sigh as she said this.
"I see... Well then, I'll introduce you to soone. My circle is a bit cleaner. Not like yours, full of playboy heirs. It's just, I don't know if you could accept a man in the dical field!"
Liu Xiaoxiao thought for a mont before speaking.
"Mmm... once I get my divorce certificate, I can try dating soone new. As long as they're virtuous, ambitious, and decent-looking, I can consider it."
Yan Mingyu nodded.
"Oh, my baby, it feels like you're settling. With your wealth and looks, at the very least, those eligible bachelors from the capital are worthy of you. Honestly, I think there's not a single man in East Sea who's good enough for you!"
Liu Xiaoxiao was also a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Even from her perspective, Yan Mingyu's beauty and charm were out of this world.
Now, she was in a hurry to get married off, even agreeing to matchmaking...
What a waste!
"Won are like flowers, they have an expiration date. Even the prettiest woman will start to decline after thirty. Once they reach the stage of 'faded beauty,' truly, no one will want them!"
Yan Mingyu remarked thoughtfully.
"Ring ring..."
"Wow, can this be a coincidence?"
Just then, Liu Xiaoxiao's phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Talk about eting the pillow when wanting to nap, here, Kong Jingtai, the one who started the dical beauty business in the province, definitely has assets in the billions. Mature and stable, and quite the catch. Wait, I'll push his WeChat to you, you guys can have a chat!"
"You first take the call!"
Yan Mingyu remained noncommittal.
The main thing was, she still hadn't received her divorce certificate and seeking a new target now would make it seem as though she was having an affair.
"Hello, Director Kong!"
Liu Xiaoxiao answered the call, and whatever was said on the other end made her respond with glee, "Then co over, we haven't ordered yet. Besides, I want to introduce you to a friend! No rush, drive safe!"
After that, Liu Xiaoxiao hung up and winked at Yan Mingyu: "He just happens to be on a business trip in East Sea, he'll be here soon."
"Xiaoxiao, let make this clear, eating together is fine, but let's not bring up anything else. After all, I still haven't got my divorce certificate."
Yan Mingyu knew her best friend's playful nature, so she took preemptive asures.
"Don't worry, babe, I've got it all figured out. You just need to observe quietly!"
Liu Xiaoxiao patted Yan Mingyu's hand.
"Hehe, go ahead and order, Qin Yu. Mingyu and I are gonna touch up our makeup in the restroom!"
Liu Xiaoxiao handed the nu to Qin Yu and pulled Yan Mingyu out of the private room.
"Hehe...."
It was only after the two won had left that Qin Yu let out a bitter smile. Stay tuned with empire
Won have it good. Even after a divorce, they can always get married again.
But what about ?
Without owning a house or car, forget about having a girlfriend. With girls these days being so realistic, who would take a second glance at a small-ti bodyguard like ?
A mont later.
Liu Xiaoxiao and Yan Mingyu returned to the private room.
Just as they did, a knock echoed at the door.
"Qin Yu, could you get the door for ?"
Liu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Sure!"
Qin Yu turned around and walked to the door of the private room, opening it.
There stood a man in a white shirt and black trousers, with gold-rimd glasses, who looked like a heartthrob straight out of a TV drama.
He smiled at Qin Yu, "Hello, I am Kong Jingtai!"
"Sure, hello, they're inside," Qin Yu said as he stepped aside to let the good-looking guy in.
"Hehe, Miss Liu!"
With a smile, Kong Jingtai greeted Liu Xiaoxiao and then turned his gaze to Yan Mingyu. "I presu this must be Miss Yan?"
"You know ?"
Yan Mingyu asked indifferently.
"Hehe, Miss Yan may be from East Sea, but your fa has already reached our provincial city. eting you today indeed confirms your renown," Kong Jingtai said with a charming smile.
"I think it's not so much fa as infamy. Who doesn't know that Yan Mingyu kicked her own mother out of Four Seas Corporation?" Yan Mingyu replied, neither warmly nor coldly.
In fact, she deliberately wanted to challenge Kong Jingtai to see his reaction.
"Miss Yan, survival of the fittest is the rule of nature. Without boldness and skill, how could you have achieved what you have today?"
Kong Jingtai was proficient in the art of conversation, deftly navigating his words without fault.
"Director Kong, don't just stand there, have a seat!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pulled up a chair for Kong Jingtai.
"Thank you!"
Kong Jingtai expressed his gratitude with impeccable politeness.
"Excuse for a mont, the dishes are served!"
At that mont, the waiter brought in the food.
"Let's talk while we eat!"
Liu Xiaoxiao suggested.
Throughout the al, Kong Jingtai and Liu Xiaoxiao found they had quite a bit in common, both being involved in the dical field.
Yan Mingyu seed sowhat aloof and reserved, with not too many expressions on her face, leaving others to wonder what she was thinking.
After the al, Kong Jingtai received a phone call and had to take his leave first.
Liu Xiaoxiao, squeezing Yan Mingyu's hand, asked with a wink, "So, babe, what do you think, got your eye on him?"
