It had rendered Ming Ansheng speechless .
Love rival's auntie—his words made him appear as a petty person .
However, he was fully aware that Jiang Zhuoheng wasn't the main reason he was disrespectful towards Jiang Shaomei . Rather, it was because of past business conflicts between Flourish & Prosper and Paramount .
At that time, the elderly lady was still holding the realm at Flourish & Prosper and unhappiness arose because of a product bidding .
It seemed that Paramount had resorted to underhand means which resulted in Flourish & Prosper losing the bidding chance .
Old Madam Wang was a meticulous person and had always been discreet and cautious in her work . So, even when such a thing happened, she would keep mum about it . He only got wind of it through some sources but didn't have the opportunity to verify it .
If Paramount was really the culprit, all the more, she wouldn't divulge .
Ming Ansheng mulled over it before diverting the topic . He asked, “Where are you going now? Going home?”
Yan Rusheng replied, “Going to look for Su Yue . ”
The Kentucky Fried Chicken was just next door, so Yan Rusheng quickened his steps . As it wasn't mealtime yet, there were just a few people in the shop .
He pulled the door open and went in . His eyes scanned the entire place and there were only a handful of adults and children . Su Yue was nowhere in sight .
Yan Rusheng started to get anxious and walked in further to search thoroughly .
He searched high and low but Su Yue wasn't there .
“Where's the bathroom?” He stopped a waiter and asked .
The young waitress face turned crimson when a handsome chap suddenly stopped her . She pointed her finger and stammered, “Over… over there . ”
Most importantly, the handsome chap's abrupt actions stunned her .
Seeing Yan Rusheng feeling anxious because of Su Yue's disappearance, Ming Ansheng also got worried because he was aware of Su Yue's condition .
“I have her phone number . Let me give her a call,” he said as he tossed out his cellphone . He then dialed her number .
A cute voice sounded in his ears . 'Love you, kiss kiss, quickly give me a kiss, love to banter with you…'
When he heard the song, Young Master Ming instinctively thought that he had dialed the wrong number . He took a quick glance at his screen—it was Su Yue's name .
The corners of his lips subconsciously curled up . He was also smiling from within . “This little lass . ”
She had shown improvement and already knew how to set her cellphone ringback tone to a song that matched her age .
Yan Rusheng saw Ming Ansheng smiling to himself, so he stared at him in suspicion with narrowed eyes .
'Why is this fellow smiling for no reason? And smiling so sweetly like a girl . '
The ringback tone kept playing, but no one answered from the other end . Ming Ansheng was about to inform Yan Rusheng when he caught him staring .
He felt guilty for a moment . But he obviously did nothing wrong!
“Why are you staring at me that way?” He asked .
There was a lack of confidence in his voice .
Yan Rusheng shook his head . “Nothing . Have you got through to Su Yue?”
Ming Ansheng was about to nod his head when a familiar voice sounded in the phone . “Hello . ”
He immediately asked, “Little lass, where are you? Your Third Brother is so anxious and worried when he couldn't find you . ”
Noisy music and loud voices of people talking could be heard in the background .
“I'm at…”
Su Yue mumbled something . But since the other line was noisy, and the place had an intermittent phone signal, Ming Ansheng couldn't hear her .
Suddenly, the line went dead .
He tried calling her back right away but could no longer get through .
