Mr. Chen said he wanted to help her. What was his purpose?
Sheng Anâning gaped and wanted to ask further, âMr. Chen, I still donât understand why...â
In the end, before Sheng Anâning could finish her sentence, she was dragged forward by the driver in black.
âMy bossâ time is very precious and itâs not used to chat with people like you.â
What was this attitude?
Sheng Anâning gave the driver a disgusted look as she said indignantly, âLet go of me. I can walk on my own.â
A complicated light flashed through Sheng Anâningâs eyes. She took another glance at the slender figure through the vines and finally walked out of the courtyard slowly.
The driver in black followed Sheng Anâning. Her hands seized slightly and her emotions became more and more complicated.
Who was this Mr. Chen?
Mr. Chenâs subordinate seemed to respect him a lot. That kind of respect was definitely not the ordinary respect of an employee to his superior.
These two people gave her a feeling that they were ruffians?
However, which ruffian acted like Mr. Chen? He gave off a feeling of gentleness and elegance.
Although their conversation was short, Sheng Anâning felt that Mr. Chen was raised well just from that short conversation.
If someone were to say Mr. Chen was a noble young man, Sheng Anâning would believe it without a doubt.
Sheng Anâning knew many of the young masters of powerful families in S City. Who was this Mr. Chen?
Just when Sheng Anâning was deep in thought, the driver in black who was trailing her walked past her and opened the back door for Sheng Anâning.
âMs. Sheng, please.â
His neither warm nor cold voice came out of the air.
Sheng Anâning pursed her lips. From a young age, she had always been loved as an apple of the eye but todayâs experience was really a disaster.
Firstly, she had been reprimanded by Director Li Shan at the seaside shooting location. Now, even a little driver did not respect her!
Sheng Anâning knew she had to control her temper now because no matter what, sheâd better be more obedient now that she was a hostage.
Sheng Anâning sat silently on the back seat of the car. She put her handbag in front of her and looked warily at her surroundings.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and the grayish blue taxi ran through the lane.
She didnât have the same fear which she had when she came. Hence, Sheng Anâning tried to remember the route the driver was taking but unfortunately, the driver in black seemed to know what she was up to. He took a few turnings and Sheng Anâning was lost!
The driver had taken a different route than he had earlier!
Sheng Anâningâs heart beat fast. Since she could not remember the road signage, she tried thinking about what Mr. Chen had said to her.
Mr. Chen didnât look friendly toward her but said he wanted to help her.
How was he going to help? Why did he want to help?
If he did not have admiration for her and they didnât have mutual benefits...
Could they have the same enemy?
The same enemy...
These few words kept ringing in her mind. A faint smile sparked at the corner of her lips. Could Mr. Chen be against Su Wan too?
She had done a check on Su Wan previously. It seemed that Su Wan had some disputes with the Su family and the Gu family in terms of family property and love.
However, Su Wan had no feud with anyone else...
If he was not against Su Wan, who else could it be?
Sheng Anâningâs mind kept running but couldnât figure out a reasonable explanation. She sighed slightly. When she looked out of the window, she found that the driver had turned out of the previous lane into the street.
There was a piercing sound of trumpet in the air. Sheng Anâning had always hated noise but now, there was a faint happiness in her heart.
It had to be said that silence was the most terrifying. The courtyard was too spooky. Not even the sound of cicada was heard. Sheng Anâning had almost thought she had walked into a ghost lane.
Sheng Anâning smiled faintly and examined the building at the surrounding. Just when she was looking hard, the driver slammed on the brakes.
âMs. Sheng, you may go down now.â
At the driverâs unexpected reminder, Sheng Anâning frowned, âArenât you sending me back to the Jiang residence?â
She didnât even know where this was!
âGet down.â
The driver said those two simple words without hesitation. Sheng Anâning could even hear a faint irony from his tone of voice.
Sheng Anâning pouted. She felt that the driver was too uneducated. She could not be bothered argue with him and could only hold her bag and jump out of the car quickly.
The minute Sheng Anâning got down from the car, the grayish blue taxi moved forward in just the blink of an eye and there was no trace of it in the traffic flow.
This b*stard! How could he chase her down like this and go away?
She didnât even have time to write down the licence plate number!
However, it should be useless even if she had the licence plate number?
Mr. Chen had gotten someone to invite her over and had wrapped himself up tightly. Sheng Anâning thought even if she asked someone to investigate the taxi and the ghostly lane, the investigation would be to no avail.
Mr. Chen was such a mysterious man. At the moment, Sheng Anâning was only sure of several things. He had a tall build. He was no older than forty years old and he was well educated.
It was impossible for Sheng Anâning to tell more than that.
Who on earth was Mr. Chen?
Sheng Anâning regretted not bringing her mobile phone today and because she was used to going out with Jiang Haoxuan, she didnât have the habit of bringing money.
When she had gotten into the illegal taxi just now, she had planned to tell the driver that she would pay when she arrived at her destination.
Sheng Anâning looked around melancholically and finally saw a girl with a kind look.
She went over and started a conversation, âHello, could you please lend me your mobile phone to make a call?â
In such circumstances, she could only call Jiang Haoxuan to pick her up.
***
In the CEO office of Di Chen Group, Jiang Xuecheng was looking at the computer when Su Wan walked in.
âXuecheng, have you been very busy lately?â
Su Wan felt that every time she came to look for Jiang Xuecheng when she was off work, he was in a busy state.
Su Wan walked over to the water dispenser silently and poured Jiang Xuecheng a cup of hot tea.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng raised his head finally. On his face was a faint smile, âActually, I havenât been busy but now that our wedding will be held next month, these tasks naturally have to be on the agenda.â
âHave you fixed a date?â
Hearing what Jiang Xuecheng said, Su Wan was shocked. She thought that when Jiang Xuecheng wanted their wedding to be brought forward, he would bring it forward to July or August but she had not expected to hold it in a few days.
Jiang Xuecheng took the white porcelain cup from Su Wan. Curls of tea mist rising made his handsome face seem unreal.
âWan Wan, I donât want to delay anymore. Letâs have it on the first of June.â
