Chapter 537: Speak of the Devil
After hearing Wu Guanzhong say that it was hard to predict the future, Wu Qian nodded in agreement.
"With Jiang Ran as our designer, our business will surely flourish, taking over the market. Naturally, it won’t have anything to do with the Jiang Family."
At this point, Wu Qian suddenly thought of something and looked over at Jiang Ran.
"Oh? Your last name is also Jiang, what a coincidence!"
Jiang Ran, "..."
It really was a coincidence. Not only was her surname also Jiang, but she was actually the daughter of that Jiang Family.
Jiang Ran hesitated for just a moment, then spoke these words.
Upon hearing Jiang Ran say she was the long-lost eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, the three other people in the room were stunned.
Wu Guanzhong took a serious look at Jiang Ran and then nodded.
"No wonder you seemed familiar to me before, but I couldn’t quite place who you reminded me of. Now that you’ve said it, I know."
Wu Qian looked at Wu Guanzhong, then at Jiang Ran, "Since you’re the Jiang family’s daughter, why do you want to collaborate with our family?"
Though Wu Qian’s words weren’t completely explicit, everyone present understood what she meant.
Wu Qian was suspicious that Jiang Ran might have ulterior motives for partnering with their family.
Before Jiang Ran could respond, Wu Guanzhong laughed.
"Xiao Qian, don’t think like that. Your classmate here is collaborating with us genuinely, not with any hidden agenda, so rest assured."
Hearing Wu Guanzhong’s words, Wu Qian looked over curiously, "Dad, how do you know? How can you be so sure?"
"Because in this circle, everyone knows that after the Jiang Family found their eldest daughter, they weren’t able to take her back, and they even cut all ties. It’s become a joke in our circles."
As he spoke, Wu Guanzhong smiled at Jiang Ran, "I hope you’re not upset by what I’ve said?"
Jiang Ran shook her head, "Of course not."
What’s there to be upset about?
These are simply the facts.
Wu Qian had never heard of these matters because, after all, such stories aren’t pleasant, and the Jiang Family would certainly never allow others to talk recklessly.
Even though Wu Guanzhong was aware of this, he hadn’t discussed it with Wu Qian, the younger generation.
Now, only because Jiang Ran, the person involved, was present did Wu Guanzhong bring up the subject.
Wu Qian looked at Jiang Ran, her eyes filled with curiosity.
But she was old enough to know that some things can be asked, while others should not be inquired about casually.
So, even with her strong curiosity, she didn’t ask.
Jiang Ran clearly saw Wu Qian’s expression, which seemed to say more than words could.
Her opinion of Wu Qian changed somewhat.
Though this girl appeared to be rather carefree, it was evident that she was insightful enough not to satisfy her curiosity at the expense of everything else.
Jiang Ran wasn’t sensitive about others discussing this matter; she simply wished to avoid excessive entanglement with the Jiang Family and didn’t want to talk much about it.
After finishing their meal, the group stood up together, ready to head directly to the Wu Family’s company.
As they stepped out of the private room, they heard the sound of a door opening.
Following the sound, they saw a few people emerge from another room, led by none other than Jiang Zhongguo.
Jiang Ran, "..."
What kind of luck is this!
No wonder people always say not to speak ill of others behind their backs, for as soon as you do, they’ll surely appear.
She had just mentioned it, only to encounter it immediately after stepping out.
