The question to the star

Liang Weining rose to become a 'favorite' of Mr. Chen, the capital magnate of the Hong Kong Region, in just six months. The outside world said she climbed up by her beauty. No matter how good a vase might look, it can't escape being discarded once the owner grows tired of it. As such, everyone watched and waited. After three long years, they finally received news of Liang Weining's dismissal.
While the entire upper circle thought Liang Weining had become history, nobody knew that on the eve of New Year's Eve, an entertainment reporter captured a romantic moment. In a black business car parked underneath the Zhonggang headquarters building, the backseat window was half-lowered, and Mr. Chen, who was always dignified and composed, unexpectedly lost control. In the mottled shadows, he grabbed the chin of a young girl and kissed her fiercely.
The photos were exposed that same night, and a heavy snow fell over the Eastern Suburbs of Beijing.
Inside the Mid-hill Villa, the fireplace blazed warmly. The man took the girl's soft, boneless hand from behind and guided her to write on the Xuan paper: Chen Jingyuan.
"When will we go public?" he asked in a low voice.
As soon as he'd finished speaking, the mobile phone screen lit up. The exclusive breaking news headline from the Hong Kong media flashed before their eyes again, and Liang Weining fretted over the news title, "Let's wait a bit longer."
Chen Jingyuan's voice was slightly deep, "What are you worried about?"
"My dad's blood pressure has been unstable lately."
Years later, Mr. Chen gave an interview to the media, addressing personal issues.
Reporter: "For you, what was the biggest obstacle in pursuing Mrs. Chen back then?"
Mr. Chen paused for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, "My father-in-law's blood pressure."

Beijing-Hong Kong Memories

Watching the business van slowly drive away, the once lively valley now seemed as if it had been cleansed by glaciers, suddenly entering a cooldown.


Soon, Assistant Xu appeared to wrap things up, arranging for Deputy General Liao's son to be sent to the medical station while Mrs. Liao reluctantly glanced at her husband before following the vehicle.


The Deputy General stayed behind, beating around the bush with Xu Zhou, "When did the young master from the Hong Kong Region arrive at the villa, and why conceal his identity by claiming to be Director Liang's brother?"


The surrounding executives perked up their ears, all eager to listen.


After all, the scene just before had revealed too much information, and without a reliable explanation, it would be hard to digest for a while.


Moreover, seeing Mr. Chen's level of tension regarding Director Liang was akin to an indirect public announcement, wasn't it?
