Seeing the reluctant expression on Fang Ruoye's face, Jiang Wei easily guessed her concerns. Clicking his tongue impatiently, he reached out to grab Fang Ruoye's hand.
"It's alright. You know that Grandma dotes on you very much. She was just angry because you insisted on marrying that scummy bastard, that's all."
Fang Ruoye lifted her beautiful eyes, glassy from unshed tears.
"But my grandmother never once replied to me in these seven years. I heard that her health isn't very good nowadays. If she finds out that Luo Yanming divorced me after getting his mistress pregnant, she will be even more disappointed in me."
"She knows everything," Jiang Wei pointed out, making Fang Ruoye gasp in surprise.
"What... how...?"
Jiang Wei sighed.
"What do you mean, 'how'? I already said that she dotes on you very much. Her beloved granddaughter went off and married a guy she disliked. Do you really think that she is the kind of person who will toss you away just because you do not listen to her? Ah, Ruoye, if you think that way, then Brother Wei is going to really get upset...."
Fang Ruoye grabbed Jiang Wei's hand in a hurry.
"No, Brother Wei! My grandmother is magnanimous, her heart as broad as the ocean. How dare I think of her that way? I am just so ashamed to show myself in front of her."
Jiang Wei sighed.
"We are all family. There is no need to feel ashamed. If Grandma doesn't want to see you, why would she ask me to take you back to see her?"
"Brother Wei is right," Fang Ruoye nodded firmly. "I am too inconsiderate."
Fang Ruoye's soft words and regretful tone, coupled with her beautiful appearance, melted Jiang Wei's heart on the spot.
"You are not inconsiderate, Ruoye. You are too considerate. It is fixed, then. Let me contact Ah-Yue and Ah-Cheng first. You go ahead and enjoy your meal."
Jiang Wei stepped aside to make a call to his two brothers, leaving Fang Ruoye at the table. He barely disappeared out of sight when another person came in to take his place at the table.
Fang Ruoye's eyes widened when she came face-to-face with a raging Luo Yanming.
"What is the meaning of this, Fang Ruoye?" he hissed at her.
Calmly, Fang Ruoye put down her knife and fork, lest her hand slip and she accidentally throw anything sharp at Luo Yanming.
"What is the meaning of what, Mr. Luo? You should express yourself clearly."
"So I am Mr. Luo now?" Luo Yanming snarled.
Fang Ruoye gave him a condescending gaze, fueling his anger even more.
"What address do you prefer?" she coldly asked.
Luo Yanming scoffed in disdain.
They had been separated for less than a month, but look at Fang Ruoye now. She had taken a turn for the worse!
"You used to be a good woman of virtue," he said, jabbing a finger in Fang Ruoye's direction. "But look at you now. You dress like a first-class prostitute and meet one wealthy man after another. Fang Ruoye, are you not ashamed of yourself?"
Fang Ruoye was too lazy to explain to Luo Yanming that both Jiang Yue and Jiang Wei were her cousins, so she simply tossed her hair off her shoulder and shrugged.
"I am not. Besides, shouldn't you go home and take care of your pregnant mistress?"
"Don't shift the topic," Luo Yanming glared at Fang Ruoye. He expected to see a trace of anger on Fang Ruoye's face. To his greatest dismay, he found none.
"Mr. Jiang Wei is the respectable CEO of Phoenix Trading International. Do you think he will associate himself with a loose woman such as yourself? If he knew that you were dating Jiang Yue at the same time, what do you think would happen?"
Just then, a waiter came over to pour more wine into her glass.
Fang Ruoye calmly took a sip from her glass and batted her eyelids at Luo Yanming.
"I don't know, Mr. Luo," she slowly said. "Why don't you go ahead and tell him? I would also like to see his reaction."
Just then, Jiang Wei returned from making a call to both brothers. When he arrived at his table, he spotted a hateful man sitting on his chair. This naturally displeased him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at said man.
As if struck by a thunderbolt, Luo Yanming shot to his feet and bowed deeply before Jiang Wei.
"Mr. Jiang Wei, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Luo Yanming. I am the CEO of Luo Tech. I just happened to walk by and saw you with this woman."
He pointed at Fang Ruoye and said, "This woman used to be married to me. I never thought that after being divorced from me for less than a month, she would go on to wear tight dresses and walk on high heels, tempting one influential man after another. Mr. Jiang Wei, I have seen her curled up next to Mr. Jiang Yue before. You must never associate yourself with this loose woman!"
In response, Fang Ruoye merely took a bite from her steak plate and gave Luo Yanming a pitiful look. She couldn't wait to see Jiang Wei's reaction.
