Chapter 194 The Tang Girl

The Feng sisters knew Qiao Lan well.

Not only the 'perfect lady' mask Qiao Lan showed to the world but the true cruelness that the girl could express when she was furious or determined.

In the socialite circles they frequented, there were a limited amount of people who were famous and an even smaller number who were infamous.

Qiao Lan usually fell into the famous group. She was a lady of true honor and high standing, at least that was how most people saw her as. Sure, she had her cruel tendencies but that was just how people were.

At least, that was what Feng Yan believed.

Seeing Qiao Lan, Feng Yan smiled faintly and said her greetings.

Feng Yue, on the other hand, cowered slightly.

Feng Yue didn't have the best experiences when it involved Qiao Lan. Not that the woman had ever done anything to her personally, but after seeing Qiao Lan cruelly commanding a group of men to beat a little secretary almost to death, many years ago, Feng Yue was more than a little afraid of her.

As Feng Yue avoided Qiao Lan's gaze, she felt her heart beat hard against her rib cage. Concentrating on the beating of her heart, Feng Yue also tried to control her breath but no matter what she did, fear kept spreading through her.

Noticing that her reaction would give her apprehension away, Feng Yue raised her eyes to Qiao Lan's.

Before she could speak, Feng Yue swallowed hard and touched her pixie cut nervously.

"H-hello there." Feng Yue said.

No one, with the exception of Mo Ruyi caught onto the girl's fear. To make sure the girl didn't get exposed, Mo Ruyi spoke before Qiao Lan could greet the two sisters,

"Lan, What are you doing here?"

Turning to face Mo Ruyi, Qiao Lan shook her head. "I'm sorry mother, I didn't realize you had guests... I just have something to discuss with you and father but we can do it later."

After Qiao Lan was done speaking, Mo Ruyi didn't speak. She just examined the girl. With Mo Ruyi's cold eyes staring holes into her, Qiao Lan felt extremely uncomfortable but she didn't show it. She just kept looking at the woman innocently.

Seeing as the conversation had ended, Qiao Lan shifted her body so it was slightly turned to the door and she said, "I guess I'll be taking my leave then."

Hearing this, Kang Mu quickly stopped her and said, "Lan Lan, stay for lunch. We will talk after."

With that said, Qiao Lan smiled and accepted the man's offer.

***

After lunch, Kang Mu, Mo Ruyi and Madame Feng spoke about the possible marriage between the families. Not wanting the girls to be a part of this conversation, they immediately sent them to the living room.

Feeling rather uncomfortable throughout the whole dinner, Feng Yue convinced her mother that she had important business to attend to and was able to be excused.

This left Feng Yan and Qiao Lan alone together.

Sitting down, Feng Yan looked at Qiao Lan and said, "Do you have any tips for me?"

Hearing this, Qiao Lan smiled confusingly and asked, "About what?"

Feng Yan: "Kang Jun."

"Hmmm, I'm not sure..." Qiao Lan leaned back into the sofa and pretended to think about it. Then, as if she had thought of something, the girl gave a slightly changed expression and said, "Kang Jun isn't the type to be around women... so you need to be really assertive with him. Get him used to your touch or at least try to arouse him."

Qiao Lan knew she was giving bad advice but she truly didn't care. She had come here to convince Mo Ruyi and Kang Mu of accepting Rong Yue Wan as Kang Jun's bride. What did it matter if Feng Yan made Kang Jun hate her?

Feng Yan: "What type of girl does he like?"

"Seeing as how he's so cold. I would say that he would like someone who is aggressive. Though he hasn't been around many women so, I can't say for certain." Qiao Lan said.

Hearing this, Feng Yan frowned.

"What about that Tang girl?" Feng Yan couldn't help but ask.

Hearing what Feng Yan had said, Qiao Lan couldn't help but laugh elegantly, with her hand over her mouth. "Maybe it's a momentary lapse of judgment. Kang Jun is also a man, he needs to satisfy certain urges."

Feng Yan frowned. "I don't think he likes her..."

Looking deeply at Feng Yan, Qiao Lan said, "What makes you say that?"

"Simple," Feng Yan said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "If he liked her then he would be telling his parents that he wants to marry her. It doesn't seem like he's interfering, so she's deluding herself if she thinks Kang Jun actually likes her."

Qiao Lan laughed lightly once again, "Maybe you're right."

The two women thought they were on the same page, however, they were far from it. The 'Tang girl' that they were both discussing was not the same person.

To Qiao Lan, who the 'Tang girl' was was obvious. It was Tang Bingyi. As she knew, Elder Tang only had two granddaughters, to begin with, and Tang Bingyi had been the only one who had come into contact with Kang Jun. Either way, the other one always kept herself in the shadows, so there was no doubt in her mind.

However, to Feng Yan, her attentions were on Lu AnLing. She had seen the picture of Kang Jun with Tang Bingyi but it was easy for her to discount the situation as a business meeting, but with Lu AnLing, she had seen a glint in the man's eye that was much more powerful than the one he had when he was with Tang Bingyi.

Besides, Feng Yan could see that the man wasn't even looking at Tang Bingyi, he could have been thinking of something entirely different and that could have caused the smile.

And she was right, Kang Jun had his mind on something else. It on his precious wife!

Sitting down, the two women continued to speak of the 'Tang girl' with mockery, completely unaware that Tang Bingyi and Lu AnLing would crush them inexplicably in the future.
