Chapter 1127: Who says that I still care about that woman?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Eh? You actually know about that iron lady?”

What was most unexpected to Mu Heng was that his childhood friend actually knew about that iron lady from Wall Street.

Even for him, the only reason he knew about that woman was...

He was too curious about the Minghao Group, sp he asked around about the person Yu Youli had invited from Wall Street, and upon finding out that the person was a woman, his interest was piqued even more.

“Ha ha! In retrospect, on some level, both of you are considered business elites, so it shouldn’t be surprising that you know her name.”

Recalling that Regina was a capable business elite and tying that to his best friend’s capabilities, he felt that it was truly not a strange thing for them to know each other.

His conjecture was quickly denied by the person involved, though.

“No, I don’t know that woman.”

He picked up the coffee pot and poured another cup of coffee for himself.

“Huh? You actually don’t know this person rumored to be very influential?”

Mu Heng was stunned by this fact, but once he recalled that Ji Ziming had not been to New York much in these few years, on top of not being the type to gossip about others, it seemed normal for him not to know. Moreover, even he, who had a vast social network, was unable to get much information on that woman called Regina.

He only knew that she was a Harvard-Business-School graduate and a very capable person.

“Mhm. That woman is very low-profile.” His childhood friend was nonchalant as he added milk and sugar to his coffee.

It was clear that he was not the least bit interested in that so-called queen of Wall Street.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! She’s more than a little low-profile.” He nudged his lips, feeling a little disappointed inside.

He thought that he could find more information from Ji Ziming, but the latter did not know anything, too.

Still, this made him even more curious.

He had reached a bottleneck for playing with women recently. Whatever pure, sexy, cute, intellectual type... he had played with all of them.

Now that such a secretive woman, whom none had information about, was famous in the capital after appearing from who knew where, how could he not be curious?

“There’s hearsay that she’s very beautiful and is quite young.”

He continued talking about the tidbit he had heard about the Wall Street queen.

Of course, the most important thing was that this news was why he was interested in that woman, who had the brains and the looks.

“Are you done speaking?”

Ji Ziming took a sip of coffee and frowned slightly.

He burst out laughing at the sight.

“Ha ha! Are you finding the coffee too sweet?”

Before he could finish speaking, though, he saw the man add some more sugar granules.

His smile froze on his face upon seeing the pale color of the coffee.

“I think that you’ve really lost your mind!”

After downing his coffee, the man stood up.

This caused him to be slightly shocked.

“Are you leaving already?”

The other nodded while putting on his suit jacket.

“Mhm. Going back now.”

“Huh? Are you truly going back already? This early?”

Seeing that this workaholic was knocking off work early, he felt so shocked that his mouth hung agape.

“Today is Friday.” This simple statement changed his puzzled expression.

“Oh, I don’t go to work, so I forgot that today is Friday.” He pursed his lips as discomfort appeared in his eyes. “Sigh! It’s truly been hard on you.”

“I’m leaving.” Without another word, the man picked up his car keys and made his way to the door.

However, just as he was about to open the door, his friend’s voice sounded from behind him.

“You... should give up on Pei Ge already.”

He paused when he heard that name. Even his expression froze.

“It’s been so many years; it’s time for you to give up.”

With a light sigh, that woman’s figure appeared in Mu Heng’s mind, but it was soon replaced by another small and petite figure.

“It’s been five years. She... should already be married with children. Don’t continue pining for her. Although we don’t know whose fault it was back then—yours and Qiao Jingyun’s or hers and Fu Mingxuan’s—sometimes, we just have to surrender to fate...”

He pursed his lips as he saw Ji Ziming freeze before forcing himself to complete the mission the latter’s parents had given him.

“Both of you weren’t in the wrong back then. If someone must be blamed, we can only blame the heavens for letting you guys meet and fall in love yet not be fated to remain together...”

His words were filled with regret and persuasion, as well as sincerity and seriousness, but the man inexplicably felt angry when he heard that.

His and Qiao Jingyun’s... Pei Ge’s and Fu Mingxuan’s... Was it?

“Who says that I’m still missing that woman? I think you’ve been too free recently.”

Tightening his fists, he left that remark behind with his childhood friend as he exited the office.

Seeing him leave, Mu Heng frowned. His gaze then became filled with helplessness and lamentation.

The man was his best friend and they grew up together. Hence, he could see that he was speaking a lie just then.

His childhood friend... had always been like this.

He was always this awkward and proud.

Sigh... What are all these... Rotten peaches... Rotten peaches...” He let out a deep sigh and softly muttered this out of helplessness.

Ji Ziming was a hopeless case.

Qiao Jingyun was truly one scary woman...

“Forget it; forget it! I don’t want to care about these things! Anyway, Ziming is so clever, so he’ll definitely be able to handle it! I should just go and hang out with some girls and chill!”
