Chapter 193: Chapter 191: Growing Tall but not Smart

Surprise and stupor were merely momentary, as Fu Jinghen quickly recovered. Under the shocked stares of the two across from him, he returned Wen Qiao’s grip on his hand.

"Mhm, I am her fiancé."

In fact, Wen Qiao too was coerced into a corner. If she didn’t clarify her relationship with Fu Jinghen, she truly couldn’t escape the label of having a chaotic personal life.

Gu Yi muttered, "But why is there no news about it online?"

Indeed, Gu Yi had already sensed something different about Fu Jinghen toward Wen Qiao yesterday, but he hadn’t expected their relationship to be even closer than he had imagined.

Fu Jinghen nonchalantly hummed, "She’s shy."

Shut up already!

Don’t keep pinning the word ’shy’ on me!

Wen Qiao: "Yes, I’m shy, so I didn’t go public. Please keep this a secret, both of you."

Blanche suddenly seemed to think of something, grabbing onto it as if she’d caught Wen Qiao’s weakness: "So you got our endorsement through this connection? That’s unfair to everyone else. We at ES always value fairness and transparency. Plus, I heard that Jiang Wei from your company was also vying for this endorsement. Why did it end up being you?"

Wen Qiao was truly annoyed by her relentless badgering to admit defeat. Clicking her tongue in irritation, she said, "When I wasn’t even born yet, my mom promised me to him as a wife, so what can I do? According to what you’re saying, my birth is unfair to others. Should I be reborn and start over to make it fair?"

Blanche: "I—"

"You were born a CAIN princess, while others are born in slums. That’s also unfair to others. When you swap places with those poor people and live like them for over twenty years, come talk to me about fairness." Wen Qiao didn’t give Blanche a chance to speak, her lips parting like a machine gun as she fired off at Blanche: "Oh, and by the way, last night you were used by someone and you’re still speaking for her. How have you lived for twenty-some years with growth only in height and not in brains?"

Blanche fell silent.

But Wen Qiao’s fighting spirit had risen. Seeing Blanche quiet, she didn’t think of letting her off. "Why aren’t you speaking? Unwilling, aren’t you? Indeed, everyone is selfish. What was that righteous rant earlier all about? Aren’t you embarrassed?"

If Blanche upon first meeting Wen Qiao was a hedgehog bristling with spikes, now she was like a defeated hen, unable to find words to refute Wen Qiao. She could only glare at her furiously and embarrassedly before sulking in her chair without a word.

It was then that Fu Jinghen appropriately interjected, "Alright, don’t go too far."

Blanche was Gu Yi’s fiancée, and although Wen Qiao observed that Gu Yi didn’t seem to like her, he was still their business partner’s father, so it really wasn’t good to go overboard.

Fu Jinghen had let himself vent for quite a while already, and Wen Qiao took this opportunity to step down.

She smiled apologetically at Gu Yi: "I’m sorry, President Gu, I got too emotional just now."

"No, no problem."

After all, it was Blanche who had provoked first, and Gu Yi didn’t quite know what to say. But what he hadn’t expected was that since their meeting, Wen Qiao had seemed very demure. He hadn’t imagined her to be so fierce in battle.

She had even managed to leave his usually troublesome fiancée speechless.

The door of the private room was knocked, and waiters walked in one after another with plates, breaking the awkward atmosphere inside.

Fu Jinghen gestured with his hand: "These are authentic dishes from Jiang City. Please, President Gu, have a taste."

Gu Yi nodded.

As for the two women who had just ended their battle, they each fell into silence.
