Fang Shui'er's showing up was a complete surprise to everyone on deck, including Li Yiming.
The well-built man jumped up, dumbfounded at the person who stood right behind him. The TV actress, having apparently lost her ability to do anything other than stare at Fang Shui'er in embarra.s.sment, stood still like a statue. As for the model who was being bullied, she could barely control the shaking of her legs. All attention on the deck was turned in the direction of Fang Shui'er, and some had even retained their breath in antic.i.p.ation of the follow-up that was soon to come.
"Ms. Fang..." The actress tried to maintain her composure and forced a smile.
"Mrs. Qiang? Where is Mr. Qiang? Is he not with you?" Fang Shui'er answered back with a grin and nodded.
'Mrs. Qiang?' Li Yiming knew that Fang Shui'er had mentioned the name for a reason.
"He's… a little busy with work…" Mrs. Qiang replied in a low voice.
"I remember you…" Fang Shui'er ignored Mrs. Qiang's answer and turned toward the man who stood next to her. "You're Mr. Qiang's manager, aren't you?"
"Yes! Yes! Good evening to you, Ms. Fang. My name is Ximen Song…" The man said in a loud voice, excited that someone like Fang Shui'er remembered him.
"Oh my, what a bruise. I hope you didn't chip your teeth." Fang Shui'er said as she caressed the bruised cheek of the young model, ignoring Ximen Song's answer just like she did with Mrs. Qiang.
"Ms. Fang…" Mrs. Qiang hesitated due to Fang Shui'er's att.i.tude toward her.
"A shame that people cannot keep their despicable sides to themselves. You should be more careful next time, okay?" Fang Shui'er said to the model in a gentle voice.
It was at that moment that Li Yiming finally remembered who Mrs. Qiang was. Her full name was Ma Jinliang, the wife of an international star. She had just made an appearance on the red carpet with her husband at the most recent film festival.
'But wait… this Ximen Song guy, he's the manager of Mr. Qiang…' Li Yiming frowned as he remembered the scene of Ximen Song's kneeling down in front of Mrs. Qiang.
It was a wonder to Li Yiming that Mrs. Qiang would choose to cheat on Mr. Qiang. After all, the man in question was a successful and handsome man, to the point that Liu Meng chose a picture of him as her cellphone screensaver. Not only that, Mr. Qiang was also a famously generous person, having founded numerous trusts and charities in the country. To compare Ximen Song with him was something unthinkable.
"Let's go." Mrs. Qiang, who had her mind sharpened by years of dealing with people, read Fang Shui'er's abundantly clear stance and knew that a retreat would be her wisest option. After one last old glance at the young model, she whispered to Ximen Song and started to walk away.
