However, Chu Zhaonan wasn't very enthusiastic about this. With a bitter smile, he said, "Unfortunately, my figure isn’t good; I’ve already started to put on weight. Please don’t mock me then."

"How could I" Xie Tiantian replied. In her eyes, Chu Zhaonan was like prey about to be caught.

When Wang Zheng saw this look in Xie Tiantian’s eyes, he felt a sense of unease.

Unfortunately, Chu Zhaonan was busy fiddling with his utensils and hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

Seeing this, Wang Zheng simply picked up a glass of red wine and walked over to Chu Zhaonan’s table.

"Oh Isn't that Mr. Big Shot Chu Why are you taking time off today to bring this pretty young lady out for a stroll" Without any politeness, Wang Zheng pulled out a chair and sat down.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhaonan’s eyebrows twitched; he raised his head and saw Wang Zheng's ambiguous smile. He immediately revealed a bitter smile: "What coincidence."

Xie Tiantian furrowed her brows in displeasure; clearly, she was unhappy with Wang Zheng intruding on their private moment.

"Who are you Don't you know it's rude to sit down without permission" Xie Tiantian said unhappily.

"And who are you Tell me who you are first and I'll tell you who I am." If it came to trading insults, Wang Zheng wasn't afraid of anyone.

Chu Zhaonan hurriedly introduced him with a meaningful tone to avoid embarrassing Wang Zheng: "This is Xie Tiantian, the granddaughter of the old man from Northeast China."

"Hmph." Xie Tiantian would never smile at this rude guy. Hearing Chu Zhaonan introduce her, she lightly huffed; clearly, no matter how she looked at it, Wang Zheng couldn't match her noble status.

“This is Wang Zheng, my good friend,” said Chu Zhaonan with a smile. He could tell that Wang Zheng was trying to stir things up, but he wasn’t against such actions and even welcomed them in his heart.

"Miss, why don't you leave me your number We can go out for meals or tea sometime to discuss the meaning of life," said Wang Zheng with a lecherous grin; it was clear that he was up to mischief.

“Who did you call miss You’re just a slick-tongued scoundrel,” Xie Tiantian clearly didn't like what she heard.

"I'm being respectful," Wang Zheng said helplessly. "Miss, I'm only joking with you. Why are you so worked up over such a small joke"

“Zhaonan, how can you have such a friend!” Xie Tiantian said unhappily.

"Wang Zheng is actually a nice guy; you'll understand this over time," Chu Zhaonan felt extremely uncomfortable with Xie Tiantian's words, but he didn't say much. As a man, he naturally didn't want his woman to dictate who he could befriend.

"Humph, I hope so," Xie Tiantian snorted.

Wang Zheng leaned closer to Xie Tiantian with his elbow propped on the table and said, "Beauty, let me tell you the truth. Once you arrive in the capital, you have to be extremely cautious about many things. For instance, if you want to enter the Chu family's main gate or become the second madam of the Chu family, then you must always behave as a proper lady-in-waiting should. You shouldn't argue with your man’s friends in public and shouldn’t disgrace him."

Before Xie Tiantian could refute him, Wang Zheng didn’t give her any chance to respond and continued, "Moreover, the fact that you offend me right away shows that you are a woman lacking common sense. The waters of the capital run deep and murky; if you don't even know my identity but still dare to be so presumptuous, do you think your Northeast Xie family can flex its muscles here in the capital"

Xie Tiantian was indeed intimidated by Wang Zheng's words. She was used to being domineering and walking around with her head held high in the Northeast, but she hadn't yet adapted to life in the capital and brought along this bad habit, which Wang Zheng’s remarks undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for.

"I wasn’t trying to flex my muscles," Xie Tiantian knew she was at fault but still stubbornly denied it.

“There's no point in denying it,” said Wang Zheng with a smile. "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself—I am the first in line for succession of the Philadelphia Wang Family. In my eyes, your Northeast Xie Family is nothing more than nouveau riche."

The Philadelphia Wang Family Xie Tiantian was so engrossed in luxury goods and jewels that she had no idea about such a family.

Still, it's better to believe something exists than not. Xie Tiantian didn’t dare say much more either. If he really was from the Philadelphia Wang Family, then that would be problematic. Xie Tiantian decided firmly afterward to look into whether there truly existed a family named Wang in Philadelphia, USA.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhaonan couldn't help but laugh and gave Wang Zheng a thumbs up.

He remembered the first time he met Wang Zheng at the Yalan Social Club in the capital city. At that time, Wang had pretended to be an heir of the Philadelphia Wang family, astonishing Su Tianran with his act. Now, it seemed like such a long time ago as time flew by.

"Here's to you, little beauty. I wish you all the best in becoming Second Madam Chu," said Wang Zheng as he picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Xie Tiantian's.

The resentment in Xie Tiantian’s eyes flickered for a moment before she put on a forced smile and drained her glass of red wine.

"That's right. In this capital city, there are tigers lying hidden among the grass everywhere. You're new here, so you should keep a low profile," said Wang Zheng with a sneer. "It’s only because I’m easy-going that I haven’t made things difficult for you yet. But if one day you unintentionally offend the son of some big shot, then you’re in for it."

Xie Tiantian's expression turned from gloomy to sunny and back again as Wang Zheng's words made her feel utterly humiliated.

"Oh yeah, I should also tell you something," said Wang Zheng softly. "Don't wear such low-cut tops when you go out on a date with Comrade Zhaonan next time; he won’t like it."

Wang Zheng’s repeated mockery made Xie Tiantian's heart brim with infinite hatred toward this man, but with Chu Zhaonan here, she dared not let her feelings show. If they were in the northeast, Xie Tiantian wouldn't have cared about much at all. Even if he was Wang Family First Young Master, she could secretly send her men to take care of him without being detected and dispose of his body by freezing it into ice blocks in the Northeast River.

The Xie family's dominance in the northeast was due to their significant influence on both legitimate and illegal sectors. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this level.usly said, “Let them in, but if anything goes wrong later on, act immediately.”"Yes."The main gate of the villa opened, and that black Passat slowly drove in.After the car stopped, Xu Shuliang got out...
