Chapter 778 Ulterior motives
Zhao Qiankun?
Huangfu Lie was a little confused when he heard the name suddenly, but he quickly remembered who this person was.
The reason why he was able to get off the cruise ship so quickly was not only because Zhang Qingzhi was forced to do so by the power of his family, but also because of Tang Long's plea.
Huangfu Lie remembered very clearly that the person next to Tang Long at that time was called Zhao Qiankun.
"Let him in."
Huangfu Lie said carefully.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong nodded perfunctorily and turned to leave.
As soon as Wu Zhong left, the feeling of oppression disappeared instantly.
Meng Wuhuan immediately seized the opportunity and rushed to Huangfu Lie's side.
"My dear, look at this servant in your house. He is getting more and more outrageous!"
She said coquettishly, resting her chin lightly on Huangfu Lie's shoulder to fan the flames, "How can he still have you as his master in his eyes? I think it's better to replace him as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Lei began to think seriously.
If Meng Wuhuan hadn't said it, he wouldn't have cared. Wu Zhong was considered to be the most supportive and obedient person in the family. He had indeed gone a little too far in the past two days.
It's not impossible to replace him.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
After getting permission, the door opened slightly and Zhao Qiankun's figure slid into the room.
As soon as he stepped in, his eyes keenly caught the scattered debris on the ground. A barely perceptible trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he quickly returned to normal.
With his eyes lowered, Zhao Qiankun raised the corner of his mouth into a perfect smile.
He gently placed the gift box in his hand on the table next to him and said, "Master Huangfu, you have been in Jinghai for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to visit you. This is really rude. I hope you can forgive me."
"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome."
Huangfu Lie sat in the main seat and glanced at Zhao Qiankun.
If it were in the past, he would not even look at someone like Zhao Qiankun.
But this was in Jinghai, and considering his help last time, Huangfu Lie let Zhao Qiankun sit on the chair.
"Wu Huan, go make a pot of tea."
In front of outsiders, Huangfu Lie acted very stylish.
"Boss Zhao, do you have something to ask me?"
Huangfu Lie went straight to the point.
Zhao Qiankun quickly shook his head and denied: "No, no. My eldest brother knew you were in Jinghai and asked me to come and visit you."
As she spoke, Meng Wuhuan brought a pot of freshly brewed tea, walked gracefully to Zhao Qiankun's side, and poured him a cup.
"thanks, thanks."
Zhao Qiankun stood up and took the teacup with both hands.
His eyes swept over Meng Wuhuan's appearance, and he immediately showed a look of surprise, "Oh, could this lady be Miss Meng Wuhuan?"
"You know me?"
Meng Wuhuan couldn't help feeling a little proud when she heard this.
Zhao Qiankun was also a well-known figure in Jinghai, and he felt a sense of vanity satisfaction when he was recognized by him.
"That's natural."
Zhao Qiankun nodded seriously, with a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Ms. Meng's beauty and talent are well-known in Jinghai. After seeing her today, I found that her reputation is well-deserved."
Zhao Qiankun smiled on the surface, but thought to himself, how could he not know him.
In fact, Zhao Qiankun came here this time just for Meng Wuhuan.
Ever since Tang Long's last advice, Zhao Qiankun has been thinking about how to cleverly use external forces to make Huangfu Lie hostile to Jiang Xiaochuan and thus get rid of this major worry.
Meng Wuhuan is the key chess piece he chose.
He didn't expect that a playboy like him would be so bewitched by a woman like Meng Wuhuan.
Although Zhao Qiankun concluded that this infatuation was only temporary, it gave him an excellent breakthrough.
"Boss Zhao, how do you know Wu Huan?"
Huangfu Lie asked curiously, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Zhao Qiankun laughed and said mysteriously, "Young Master Lie, you don't know yet, but your good name is spreading all over the world."
"Oh?"
Huangfu Lie immediately became interested and motioned for Zhao Qiankun to continue.
"People outside are saying that you and Miss Meng are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
Zhao Qiankun began to describe it vividly, "You came to Jinghai alone for Miss Meng's development. This deep affection is really touching."
"And Miss Meng, in order to accompany you, voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become a top actress. This sacrifice is even more admirable."
At this point, Zhao Qiankun paused deliberately, stared at Meng Wuhuan and said with regret: "It's a pity that Miss Meng is not developing in the entertainment industry."
These words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into Meng Wuhuan's heart.
The resentment that she had finally calmed down was ignited again, and she looked at Huangfu Lie with resentment.
Seeing this, Huangfu Lie coughed twice, glared at Zhao Qiankun, and secretly blamed him for bringing up things that were irrelevant.
Zhao Qiankun pretended not to know and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Look at my mouth. I really can't talk. Miss Meng, please don't take it to heart."
