Chapter 147 Gray Orbs
After Wu Ziliang’s sudden outburst, she decided to calm herself down before meeting with Wang Minghua and Jiang Yue.
Although she felt that what happened earlier at the summit was not her fault at all, she was still going to ask for Wang Minghua’s help for the shares.
After all, she could still be considered as someone from the Wu Family.
However, Wu Ziliang refused to suffer with the Wu Family. Why should she? She did not do anything wrong at all.
All she did was give her love and devotion to Wang Huo wholeheartedly.
For Wu Ziliang, what happened at this summit was because of her father and Wu Minxia’s stupidity.
So why should she sacrifice her happiness due to their stupidity?
No matter how much her family would hate it, she was definitely going to get married to Wang Huo.
Especially now that Wang Huo had approved of their marriage himself, Wu ZIliang would never back down.
Thinking about Wang Huo’s approval made Wu Ziliang beam with happiness. She then glanced at the diamond ring on her finger before gulping down the red wine..
She was currently at one of the bars in the hotel, trying to calm her agitated nerves.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nice ring." Wu Ziliang immediately turned to look at the speaker.
Seeing that it was a very good-looking man, Wu Ziliang immediately nodded,giving him a smile.
When her eyes met his, she was left speechless and stunned..
Gray orbs.
"Engagement ring?" The man asked before taking the seat next to hers.
"Yes," she answered while she still kept staring at the stranger next to her.
The man was somewhat around her age, taller than six foot with really broad shoulders. But what attracted her the most were the man’s gray eyes.
The longer Wu Ziliang stared at the man, the more she could see Wang Huo’s face.
Why did it seem like this man looked like Wang Huo?
"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked.
"I don’t think so. If I have, I would probably never forget a face as beautiful as yours." the man answered before asking the bartender for a scotch on the rocks.
Wu Ziliang bashfully lowered her head upon hearing the man’s words. She might be in her forties but Wu Ziliang still looked like she was in her early thirties. So it was only reasonable for someone to praise her beauty.
"Do you want another one?" the man asked her.
"Sure," she said. She was supposed to leave this bar after one drink but seeing the intense gaze of that stranger’s gray eyes made her change her mind.
"So... why would someone as stunning as you spend her afternoon in a bar alone?"
"I... " Wu Ziliang stuttered, contemplating whether she should really tell the truth to a stranger she had just met.
"Oh... it’s okay. I did not mean to make you uncomfortable. No worries... you don’t have to answer my question."
"Oh, no... no, I’m okay. I’m sorry I... it’s just that... my father, he wanted to cancel my engagement." She answered, fixing her gaze on the wine glass in front of her. Sadness was apparent in her eyes.
The thought of her engagement getting canceled was breaking her heart.
The man just stared at Wu Ziliang before nodding. "I understand... I know the feeling."
"You do?" Wu Ziliang asked as her eyes instantly lit up.
The guy just shrugged in response. "Been there. My family canceled my engagement two years ago. Guess they wanted me to stay single forever. Huh."
"By the way, I did not get your name?" Wu Ziliang asked, her curiosity peaked. It was very unusual to meet someone who would have experienced the same situation as hers.
"My name is Paul Patterson. But feel free to call me Paul."
"Nice to meet you, Paul... I am Ziliang. Wu Ziliang." She said before giving him a shy smile.
"Ziliang..." Paul smiled, showing his perfectly straight teeth in response. "Seems like your name is as beautiful as you."
...
Wu Ziliang woke up in the middle of warm, soft sheets.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe burrowed her face into the pillow as streaks of sunlight penetrated through the window, blinding her.
Not even a second passed and Wu Ziliang instantly snapped her eyes wide open.
Where the hell was she?
She immediately rushed out of the sheets and sat up on what seemed to be a king size bed.
But before she could even drag her feet out of the bed, the coolness of the air hit her making her hug herself as she shivered.
Then her eyes widened...
This time from horror.
She was...
Naked?
What happened last night?
She roamed her eyes around the room as her heartbeat raced.
After making sure that she was alone, Wu Ziliang wrapped the sheets around her naked body and went to the bathroom to examine herself.
And what she saw in the mirror horrified her even more.
Her body was... full of bruises. Purple kiss marks and bite marks everywhere. action
Immediately tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Who the hell did this to her?
