Chapter 534 - In the Parking Lot
Tang Xinyang spoke with narrowed eyes, "I don't believe you."
William sighed. Seeing how the s.e.xy yet heroic woman did not deny his address for her, she must be really the eldest of the Tang family.
Only a few women could use qigong and have a status to attend the Tang's banquet. Most of them were advanced in age and would not be able to pull off this kind of dress. There was only one 'young' woman who could rival William in both martial arts and status. That was the Eldest Miss of the Tang family.
Willam had known the Tangs. He had formally gotten to know the old mistress of the family in the banquets. As for the eldest, he had only met her in a martial arts competition a long time ago.
When he realized that this woman might be that Tang Xinyang he had seen before, he was really surprised with how this woman changed.
"You must have forgotten about me. We fought in a competition in Country A before. I managed to beat you during the finals. Well, you might not remember me since you were too young back then."
Willaim was not proud at all of that achievement. His opponent that time was a young girl in her teens.
A girl! And in her early teens!
Tang Xinyang was only thirteen while he was already at the legal age approaching twenty. But the young girl was truly amazing when she fought with men much taller than her and managed to win until the finals.
Too bad, William Grand was there and so she failed to snatch the championship.
That was William's last competition, before he solely focused on business.
Tang Xinyang: ....?
Hold on.
She tilted her head. In her life, the battles she fought wherein she had lost could only be counted in one hand.
First was during her childhood years when she fought with Linfeng.
Then that time when she was beaten up by her Grandmother, her master, and a few instructors.
Her eyes widened.
'There was also that one time when I was defeated by a foreign man in a competition abroad...!'
Tang Xinyang suddenly recognized William.
"Ah! I remember now! You are that tall boy?"
Tang Xinyang would not forget her only defeat in a formal martial arts competition.
William smiled again happily. He nodded. "Yes. My name's William. I am invited here by Miss Xiong Zhi."
Hearing Xiong Zhi's name, Tang Xinyang immediately dropped her guard. She instantly became friendly.
"Oh! So it is you! I heard from Zhi that she had invited a foreign uncle to the concert... Eh?" Tang Xinyang stopped. She looked at William again.
'This man does not seem like an uncle though. He looks too young.'
Especially now that the man was wearing a sparkly white suit with a prince-like style, he looked more like an idol than an uncle.
William just laughed awkwardly. But inside, he wanted to curse at that tigress for not sparing to call him uncle in front of others. With this, people would know his age ah!
Ugh, scratch that! What about his age? He was still young agewise, alright?!
"Xiong Zhi is just teasing me. I am still young and in my..." His voice turned soft. "...late twenties."
'I am not even thirty yet. There are still a few months..a couple of months...'
William then changed the subject. " I came here to supervise IHZHI's artists."
"I have indeed heard that she would be bringing her people here. There should be others too." Tang Xinyang nodded and looked around. Did they head in first?
She then smacked William on the shoulder in a very friendly and relaxed manner. She generously apologized with a grin. "Sorry about that earlier, pal. I mistook you for a pervert there for a moment. I was surprised earlier, that's why. Just don't go kissing a woman's hand in the future, alright? What if you meet a female godzilla or something?"
William: "..."
Are you talking about yourself?
Tang Xinyang then saw William's sullied white coat and grey-white pants.
Her eyes turned wide with her mouth in an 'oh' shape, creating a comical expression on her heroically beautiful face.
"Dang, your clothes are dirty now. Ugh, what to do? I am sorry, if I have known you are my friend's guest, I wouldn't have thrown you around. Do you have a spare in your car?"
William found Tang Xinyang's reaction funny and amusing.
She was really strange, as expected of that feisty little girl who still grinned generously with confidence even when she was beaten down.
"It's alright, don't worry. I don't blame you, because it seems that I really have surprised you. I forgot I'm not in my home country. I can just ask Xiong Zhi to give me one. "
"No, that won't do." Tang Xinyang felt guilty and shook her head. Her friend had given her two advice points, to be 'pretty' and to act 'feminine'.
And she just broke them both, ah.
Her friend would scold her!
An angry Xiong Zhi was fearsome. That woman would ignore Tang Xinyang for a whole day. Even if Tang Xinyang begged for a whole day, the iceberg queen would just give her one look, her eyes indifferent and cold.
So scary!
Tang Xinyang had no idea how to deal with such a temperamental beauty!
"This won't do," she muttered again. "I will call someone for help, that guy always has a spare ready--" Tang Xinyang was about to suggest that she would prepare a new set of clothes for William, when they both heard an approaching engine of a car far behind them.
The car bonked briefly, slid into a parking compartment, and halted ten meters away.
The car door opened and a tall man came out.
It was Jang Shin.
Jang Shin was wearing an ebony-ink single b.r.e.a.s.ted slim fit suit. His hair was combed back, only leaving a few black strands on both side of his temples.
His long strides came towards Tang Xinyang's and William's direction, where the entrance inside the building was at.
But his eyes only bore at Tang Xinyang. It was only her wearing an amber s.e.xy dress that could enter his sight.
Tang Xinyang's eyes lit up brightly.
"Jang Shin!" she excitedly called out. Her voice echoed inside the parking lot.
Jang Shin...!
Jang Shin...
...Jang Shin...
Jang Shin's steps faltered then halted.
His initially calm face crumbled.
Should he continue or turn back to his car?
