The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting

Shui Anluo was dressed in fiery-red cheongsam with a calm smile on her makeup-less face. Her large, tumultuous eyes looked even more enchanting beneath the bright lights.

“I’ve invited all of you here today because I’ve never participated in the business world so I don’t know you very well, dear uncles. However, my father is still unconscious at the moment so I hope that you’ll be patient and wait for a little while more to give Soaring Distance Technologies some buffer time.” Shui Anluo spoke in a clear voice.

She was not afraid perhaps because of Chu Ningyi’s presence by her side.

“Secondly, I hope to get to know you better, uncles, as I’ll still need to depend heavily on your help,” Shui Anluo smiled.

She had raised the status of everyone from the beginning by referring to them as ‘uncles’. Even if someone had some sort of negative opinion of her, they could not possibly want to do anything after Shui Anluo had addressed them as uncles, right?

After all, Shui Anluo was not yet twenty-two. Most of the people here were the same age as her father. It was not unethical for her to address them as ‘uncle’.

Chu Ningyi stared at the proud little girl by his side in a satisfied manner. She was more responsible than he had expected her to be.

“Hehe, what’re you talking about, noble niece? We’ve also profited a lot by relying on Soaring Distance Technologies in the past. How can we kick you when you’re down at a time like this?” A large, fat man chuckled.

Shui Anluo smiled calmly but she did not seem all that grateful. The man who had spoken was the one who had claimed that she was prettier than Shui Anjiao.

Indeed, not too long after the party had started, the fat man approached her along with his female companion.

Shui Anluo lowered her gaze and stared at the man’s ill-behaving hand on the woman’s waist and felt strangely irritated.

Chu Ningyi wrapped his arm around her waist as well but it was a more protective gesture. ‘Perhaps this was the difference,’ thought Shui Anluo.

“I really never thought that Director Chu would be here as well?” The fat man chuckled.

Chu Ningyi showed no sign of emotion. Perhaps he was internally plotting to drag the man out and beat him to a pulp but this was not the right time for that yet. Once Soaring Distance Technologies was out of danger, he could still send someone to act on it.

“Luoluo, this is Director Wang of Rich and Noble Electronics. You can just call him Uncle Wang from now on.” Chu Ningyi introduced gently, giving a panoramic view of his indulgence.

Shui Anluo was shaken but she continued to look at the fat man and smiled. “Hello, Uncle Wang.”

“Director Wang, my Luoluo is still young. Please be lenient on business matters.” Chu Ningyi’s voice was calm with subtle hints of a smile.

“Why, is Miss Shui really going to take over Soaring Distance Technologies? That’s a good thing.” Director Want chuckled though he was feeling angry deep down. As she was under Chu Ningyi’s protection, no one would dare to lay a hand on her.

“I’m only a temporary representative until Uncle Liu or my father has made a full recovery. Then I will step aside,” Shui Anluo explained and instinctively took a step back. She did not like the smell of the man.

In a nearby corner, several women who were dressed in a pretty and flirtatious manner was watching the group. One woman dressed in pink smirked. “She’s just an ex-wife, how dare she?”

“That’s right, she dared to even hold a party. I think she’s just here to fish for men.” Another woman in blue chimed in. “As for Director Chu, he sure loves to help this woman.” The woman stomped her foot as she spoke. She has harbored feelings for Chu Ningyi for a long time now but he never even looked at her once.

“Perhaps someone made an extra effort in certain areas? Do you really think that Director Chu would fall for a woman like her?” Another woman who was filing her nails near the group of women also commented. She slowly raised her head, showing her seductive features.
