Chapter 674: Chapter 674
The handsome face of Big White distorted by the pillow, he made a pitiful face like that of a suffering child. Just as he was about to protest, he met his wife’s warning gaze and obediently swallowed, saying, "Fiancés."
Even Finance, who was always very calm and composed, was startled.
Big White quickly got up and soothed his startled wife’s back, saying, "Actually, to tell the tale, it’s quite a long story. It all happened a long time ago."
The Zhang Family and the Zhong Family were indeed old acquaintances with a very good relationship, otherwise, they wouldn’t have arranged a match between their children.
Gu Nuan had heard that Zhong Qiaohui’s grandfather was a famous private equity tycoon, but she was unaware of what exactly the Zhong Family did.
The Zhong Family was in the ceramics trade. China’s ceramics were exported far and wide, to the point that they were one of China’s major calling cards, much like Brazil’s coffee beans. Mention coffee, and everyone thinks of Brazil. Mention ceramics, and everyone thinks of China—that was the logic.
Trading in ceramics has been a business in China for a very long time. And China’s most famous exports have been known throughout history to be not just ceramics, but also, as everyone knows, silk.
That’s right, the Zhang Family was in the silk business. The starting point of the famous Silk Road was in Chang’an, now known as Xi’an.
The ancestral home of the Zhang Family had always been in Xi’an without ever moving.
One could imagine ancient merchants carrying Zhong Family ceramics and Zhang Family silk, then going to trade with foreigners.
To this day, some foreigners who come to China for business, not just for one particular product but as general market import-export traders, still buy a bit of ceramics from the Zhong Family and a bit of silk from the Zhang Family just like ancient merchants would.
This goes to show that the friendship between the Zhong Family and the Zhang Family has been long and enduring, continuing to this very day.
"Zhang Sanfeng has an older brother," said Big White.
It is clear that there’s a complexity to Zhang Sanfeng’s emotional story that outsiders may find difficult to imagine.
"Zhang Sanfeng looks better than his older brother."
On this point spoken by Big White, Gu Nuan believes no one could deny it.
Zhang Sanfeng indeed, as soon as anyone lays eyes on him, can only think of the words "devastating beauty" in their heart. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the most beautiful person in the world.
"Zhong Qiaohui was intended for Zhang Sanfeng’s older brother, but she, Qiaohui, liked Zhang Sanfeng."
Girls are often like that, enamored with men who are more attractive. This is no different from how men only love beautiful women.
Big White’s next words were somewhat sinister.
Gu Nuan, puzzled, squinted her eyes and said, "What are you saying, don’t be evasive."
"Looking at her model-like figure now, have you ever wondered what she used to look like?"
Listenting to Big White reveal it so candidly, Gu Nuan was struck as if by lightning, stunned by the unexpectedness. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
Miss Zhong, as a child, had a dark past that was unknown to outsiders. Such a past was indeed only known to the Zhong Family members themselves, and the young masters of the Zhang Family who were involved with Miss Zhong. After all, it’s not good to air one’s dirty laundry, especially when it concerns a girl’s privacy.
As a child, Zhong Qiaohui was not only devoid of her current stunning figure but was an unequivocal fatty.
According to a photo Big White had seen at Zhang Sanfeng’s, Miss Zhong’s childhood photo could only be described as resembling an animal: a hippopotamus!
Remember, a hippopotamus—bigger than a sow!
Compared to Zhong Qiaohui’s unattractive appearance as a child, Zhang Sanfeng had always been devastatingly beautiful since he was little.
