The truth behind 'fairy tales' was often cruel.

They also didn’t tend to last long; Emily abandoned Auston midway for another interesting man. Wang Cheng had been following along with them, and when he saw this, subconsciously glanced at Duke Auston. However, the duke’s expression was beyond his expectations, with not a hint of embarrassment or disappointment to be seen, as if this was all quite normal.

Not long after Duke Auston brought Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng in, business partners and noblemen began to approach, holding glasses of wine. Duke Auston introduced these people to Wang Cheng one by one.

Some had already heard of the Zhou Group, since they’d done some advertising in preparation for developing in the UK. Although the advertisements couldn’t be found often, because they didn’t intend to have a widespread influence, others were able to look up information on the internet. This foreign company actually knew the heir of the Eimer family and Duke Auston? Then they wouldn’t dare to take the Zhou Group lightly. They quickly put Wang Cheng on their lists of people to befriend.

After a couple of back and forth exchanges, Wang Cheng had been smiling for so long that his face was stiff. He sent the last nobleman away and immediately changed positions with Chu Yifeng, relieved to finally have time to himself.

"This is killing me. Who knew socializing would be so tiring?" Wang Cheng pulled at the knotted tie around his neck, feeling as if he didn’t have room to breath.

Chu Yifeng handed him a glass of red wine. "It isn’t, with more experience."

Wang Cheng took a sip from the glass of wine, and said, "I really don't want this kind of experience. Anyways, it looks like Mama Emily is pretty powerful. She has switched between no less than twenty people since she came in, all of them men. Are they also her former lovers?"
