Chapter 1278: Doesn’t she know?
Jiang Min seemed to be triggered by a certain sentence. She said loudly, “I know, I’ll go find the highest place right now to hang up the sign with our names on it, so that this tree of love can witness our love!”
Feng Jiao nodded his head with satisfaction, then smiled and said to everyone, “I’m really sorry to keep you waiting. We’ll just hang this sign and then leave. Do you think that’s okay?”
Although it sounded like he was asking for everyone’s opinion, in reality, Feng Jiao only cared about the thoughts of three people: Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu, and Tao Zhi. As for the opinions of others, he couldn’t care less.
Jiang Min kept watching them, but neither Zhuang Liu nor Tao Zhi spoke as if they were reluctant to answer Feng Jiao’s question.
Tan Rou didn’t want to speak either, but she felt it would be very bad. She could embarrass Feng Jiao, but she couldn’t let Jiang Min lose face. Seeing the sad expression in Jiang Min’s eyes, Tan Rou said with a heavy heart, “You guys go ahead, we’ve already finished hanging our sign. Once you’re done, we can take a stroll in the temple and then go eat.”
Jiang Min breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Tan Rou, meaning to thank her for her understanding.
Tan Rou nodded slightly, signaling her to hurry over.
After they had walked away, Li Li was the first to lose her patience. She muttered curses at Feng Jiao’s back, calling him “stupid”, and even made kicking motions. If it weren’t for the crowd, Li Li would have probably gone up and pinned Feng Jiao to the ground to beat him up.
The others remained silent, even Lan Ning, who usually held back Li Li to keep her from being impulsive, kept her mouth shut. They let Li Li curse Feng Jiao behind his back, as they felt the same way as her, they were just too embarrassed to make the kicking motions themselves.
After about five minutes of silence, Zhuang Liu finally spoke. He cautioned, “I’m not that close to Miss Jiang, so there are some things I’m not at liberty to say, but you’re her friends. You should advise her. This Feng Jiao is not a good man.”
Tao Zhi nodded and said, “Although I’ve never met the young master of Feng Family, I’ve heard of his exploits abroad—none of them positive. Barely anyone has anything good to say.”
Tan Rou asked, “What kind of negative feedback exactly? Drugs or gambling?”
Tao Zhi shook his head and said, “Neither gambling nor drugs, he doesn’t even smoke.”
Li Li blurted out, “Could it be that he frequents prostitutes?”
Drugs, gambling, and prostitution – the three vices. If he didn’t indulge in drugs or gambling, that left only prostitution.
“Er… how should I put it?” Tao Zhi thought carefully, then tossed the tricky question to his old classmate, “Zhuang Liu, you say it.”
Zhuang Liu glanced at him, reproachfully saying, “Why don’t you say it yourself?”
Tao Zhi laughed, “Because you were the one who first said his character was bad, so I think you must have something to say.”
Tan Rou didn’t want to hear them shirking responsibility back and forth, so she said, “Explain it within a minute, or neither of you are going home to sleep tonight.”
Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu looked at each other, then in unison said, “He has a very colorful romantic history.”
Zhuang Liu said, “Feng Jiao likes beautiful women, and he had countless girlfriends abroad. He even harassed Xiao Mo’s cousin, but after being taught a lesson by someone Xiao Mo sent, he didn’t dare to bother her again.”
Tao Zhi said, “Many of Feng Jiao’s lovers are married women. You could say his love interests are quite diverse, ranging from female college students to married women—he harasses all.”
“With that face of his, he can attract that many people?” Li Li asked, visibly shocked.
“Money talks,” Tan Rou felt Li Li was too naive. “Dongda Real Estate has been one of the best-developing real estate companies in the country in recent years. Many properties in the Capital belong to Dongda Real Estate. As the heir of Dongda Real Estate, how could Feng Jiao not be rich?”
“Yeah, not everyone judges by looks like you do,” Liang Lu said. “Li Li, you’re still too innocent.”
Li Li would not like Feng Jiao regardless of his wealth; no amount of money could sway her if his looks didn’t appeal to her.
“We should help Senior Jiang Min, we can’t let her be deceived by this man,” Lan Ning expressed her concern seriously.
“Do you think Jiang Min doesn’t know about Feng Jiao’s affairs?” Tao Zhi questioned.
