Mrs. Yang's interest piqued when she heard this, and she asked me how I'd come to know her husband.
I locked my gaze tightly on her and slowed my voice to say, "Your husband had previously worked on a project with my uncle, and it seems Mr. Ning began to prosper after that."
A flicker of confusion crossed Mrs. Yang's face, "Is that so? I met my husband after he established his company, so I really don't know the details of his previous affairs."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem feigned, I lowered my gaze and sighed, furrowing my brow in feigned distress, "Mrs. Yang, I actually lied to you; I have no business to discuss with you."
Her demeanor changed upon hearing this, her grip on my hand gradually loosened as she questioned me with a hint of challenge in her tone, "Miss Shen, what do you mean by this? Are you messing with me?"
