Jiang Min seemed to be triggered by a certain sentence. She said loudly, âI know, Iâll go find the highest place right now to hang up the sign with our names on it, so that this tree of love can witness our love!â
Feng Jiao nodded his head with satisfaction, then smiled and said to everyone, âIâm really sorry to keep you waiting. Weâll just hang this sign and then leave. Do you think thatâs okay?â
Although it sounded like he was asking for everyoneâs opinion, in reality, Feng Jiao only cared about the thoughts of three people: Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu, and Tao Zhi. As for the opinions of others, he couldnât care less.
Jiang Min kept watching them, but neither Zhuang Liu nor Tao Zhi spoke as if they were reluctant to answer Feng Jiaoâs question.
Tan Rou didnât want to speak either, but she felt it would be very bad. She could embarrass Feng Jiao, but she couldnât let Jiang Min lose face. Seeing the sad expression in Jiang Minâs eyes, Tan Rou said with a heavy heart, âYou guys go ahead, weâve already finished hanging our sign. Once youâre done, we can take a stroll in the temple and then go eat.â
Jiang Min breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Tan Rou, meaning to thank her for her understanding.
Tan Rou nodded slightly, signaling her to hurry over.
After they had walked away, Li Li was the first to lose her patience. She muttered curses at Feng Jiaoâs back, calling him âstupidâ, and even made kicking motions. If it werenât for the crowd, Li Li would have probably gone up and pinned Feng Jiao to the ground to beat him up.
The others remained silent, even Lan Ning, who usually held back Li Li to keep her from being impulsive, kept her mouth shut. They let Li Li curse Feng Jiao behind his back, as they felt the same way as her, they were just too embarrassed to make the kicking motions themselves.
After about five minutes of silence, Zhuang Liu finally spoke. He cautioned, âIâm not that close to Miss Jiang, so there are some things Iâm not at liberty to say, but youâre her friends. You should advise her. This Feng Jiao is not a good man.â
Tao Zhi nodded and said, âAlthough Iâve never met the young master of Feng Family, Iâve heard of his exploits abroadânone of them positive. Barely anyone has anything good to say.â
Tan Rou asked, âWhat kind of negative feedback exactly? Drugs or gambling?â
Tao Zhi shook his head and said, âNeither gambling nor drugs, he doesnât even smoke.â
Li Li blurted out, âCould it be that he frequents prostitutes?â
Drugs, gambling, and prostitution â the three vices. If he didnât indulge in drugs or gambling, that left only prostitution.
âEr⦠how should I put it?â Tao Zhi thought carefully, then tossed the tricky question to his old classmate, âZhuang Liu, you say it.â
Zhuang Liu glanced at him, reproachfully saying, âWhy donât you say it yourself?â
Tao Zhi laughed, âBecause you were the one who first said his character was bad, so I think you must have something to say.â
Tan Rou didnât want to hear them shirking responsibility back and forth, so she said, âExplain it within a minute, or neither of you are going home to sleep tonight.â
Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu looked at each other, then in unison said, âHe has a very colorful romantic history.â
Zhuang Liu said, âFeng Jiao likes beautiful women, and he had countless girlfriends abroad. He even harassed Xiao Moâs cousin, but after being taught a lesson by someone Xiao Mo sent, he didnât dare to bother her again.â
Tao Zhi said, âMany of Feng Jiaoâs lovers are married women. You could say his love interests are quite diverse, ranging from female college students to married womenâhe harasses all.â
âWith that face of his, he can attract that many people?â Li Li asked, visibly shocked.
âMoney talks,â Tan Rou felt Li Li was too naive. âDongda Real Estate has been one of the best-developing real estate companies in the country in recent years. Many properties in the Capital belong to Dongda Real Estate. As the heir of Dongda Real Estate, how could Feng Jiao not be rich?â
âYeah, not everyone judges by looks like you do,â Liang Lu said. âLi Li, youâre still too innocent.â
Li Li would not like Feng Jiao regardless of his wealth; no amount of money could sway her if his looks didnât appeal to her.
âWe should help Senior Jiang Min, we canât let her be deceived by this man,â Lan Ning expressed her concern seriously.
âDo you think Jiang Min doesnât know about Feng Jiaoâs affairs?â Tao Zhi questioned.
