"So, are you still planning to go back abroad?" This time, Jennie asked Wu Ziliang.
She is very interested to know about this because of her uncle.
"No. I am planning to start helping my father with our company." Wu Ziliang immediately answered Jennie while glancing at Wang Huo.
To be honest, all she cared about is Wang Huo's reaction. It had been so many years since his wife passed.
Wang Huo should be ready to open his heart to another woman. Right?
"That's very good. I hope you don't mind though, but I am really curious.. Why are you still single?" Jennie asked while looking as innocent as a harmless cat."I mean no offense, but you are already in your forties. So I was just curious."
"Eh?" Wu Ziliang awkwardly looked at Wang Huo who is still eating. Acting as if he never heard Jennie asked such a question.
Why is she asking about this matter in front of Wang Huo? Is she not aware of the fact that Wu Ziliang's father asked Wang Guiren for marriage for a lot of times already?
And why does this woman have to emphasize her age?
Of all the things that she can say, Jennie really chose to emphasize her age!
However, she will not let this affect her at all. Wu Ziliang can feel the enmity coming from Jennie. And she will not let this woman win.
"I guess... I guess I am still waiting for the right person." She answered demurely. Hoping that Wang Huo's father would agree to this marriage the next time Wu Zialiang's father ask for one.
"Really?" Jennie's face beamed. "So, what are you looking for in a man?"
"I.. I am looking for someone who would love me for who I am. I don't really mind if they were divorced or single. I just want someone that will understand me" Wu Ziliang answered honestly. While trying to highlight the fact that she wouldn't care even if the person is already married once.
"So, do you know someone like this?" she continued to ask.
"I... no..." Wu Ziliang's face immediately reddened. 'What's with this strange questions? Is Jennie trying to embarrass her?'
"Why not? You are beautiful and accomplished, and you came from a very good household?"
Wu Minxia can't help but frown while listening to jennie's questions. She wondered what was her intentions for doing this.
At this point, Wu Minxia already decided not to slight this Jennie for now. After all, this is the Wang Estate. However, she will make sure to put this woman in her proper place soon.
Both Wu Minxia and Wu Ziliang felt Jennie's hostility against them and they can't help but wonder if she is aware of the things that happened in the past.
Wu Minxia is aware of her Aunt's unusual affection towards Wang Huo. In fact, she can't help but pity her paternal aunt.
She likes Wang Huo so much to the point of changing her appearance to look like Wang Huo's dead wife.
Isn't that a little twisted?
However, Wu Minxia can't blame Wu Ziliang for feeling this way.
Wu Ziliang is an outstanding woman who fell in love with Wang Huo during their college years.
But she never had the courage to confess, making her unable to express her feelings towards the latter.
Then Wang Huo had to leave to expand his knowledge in business.
Who would have known that the next time Wu Ziliang would meet him is right after he wed Wu Mingying?
Because of this, Wu Ziliang ends up depressed. The Wu family had to hide this fact and sent her abroad to recover.
However, after the death of Wu Mingying, Wu Ziliang surprise everyone by coming back with the face and temperament of her dead sister.
And that is not even considered the creepiest part. Wu Ziliang even imitated her sister's voice and stuff like the way she sings and paints.
It is like she wanted to become Wu Mingying!
Then Wu Ziliang asked, more like threatened, her father to offer marriage to the Wang Family or else she will kill herself.
At first her father disagreed but in the end, he felt helpless against his daughter's threats.
And so, he asked Wang Guiren to have Wang Huo marry her eldest daughter. Wu Ziliang.
This brought the Wu Family shame and disgrace. But Wu Ziliang's father did not care.
Even though it was obvious that Wang Huo does not like Wu Ziliang, Grandfather Wu still continued to ask Wang Guiren for a marriage.
This continued for more than ten years.
In these years, Wu Ziliang never failed to announce her presence to Wang Huo.
She would act as Wang Mino's mother by attending family meetings and even cooking for both father and son.
The event that change this is when Wang Guiren started snooping around and decided to investigate Wu Mingying's death.
Wu Minxia can still remember what happened on that night. She remembered Wu Ziliang went home angry and screaming for her father to save her.
Although Wu Minxia does not know the whole story about her aunt's weird behavior that night, she already had her guesses.
And that is Wu Ziliang must have been involved in Wu Mingying's death.
With her aunt's crazy state, it is not really strange if she killed her sister for the sake of replacing her in Wang Huo's life.
What a pitiful twisted love.
