Sheng Anâning looked at Mr. Chen nervously. Her fingers tightened slightly, not knowing if Mr. Chen was satisfied with the answer.
Mr. Chen started shaking slightly when he heard that. Apparently, he found the strange illness in Jiang Xuecheng unbelievable.
There were many people in this world who were allergic to flowers and plants. However, for someone to be allergic to seeing meteors so severely that they would pass out immediately, it sounded too ridiculous!
This was simply nonsense!
âMiss Sheng, I wouldnât lie to me just for the sake of my beloved, would I? The people who dared to lie to me in this world are all in another world now.â
Mr. Chenâs voice was hoarse and cold. Apart from probing, it was more of a threat.
Sheng Anâning thought of Mr. Chenâs terrifying methods and felt a chill down her spine. Her hair stood on end.
She was still so young. She didnât want to die!
Sheng Anâning kept quiet for the rest of her life. When she came to her senses, she shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum.
âMr. Chen, I didnât! How would I dare to lie to you? If I lie to you again, Iâll be struck by lightning.â
âItâs true. Mr. Chen, think about it. Given my current situation, if I dare to lie to you, wouldnât it be easier for you to crush me to death after finding it out than to crush an ant?â
At most, she was a little vague. She only said that Jiang Xuecheng could not watch meteors, and did not mention the strange situation where his heart was beating but he was not breathing when he was unconscious.
Heh, looking at the current situation, she could not say anything!
Otherwise, Mr. Chen would definitely think that she was making things up!
Hearing Sheng Anâningâs anxious voice, Mr. Chen used his hand to brush his fingernails. A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
Because of her anxiety, Sheng Anâning couldnât even speak fluently. Moreover, her face was so red that she almost coughed...
If Sheng Anâning was acting in front of him, then her acting skills were too good, and she was too mentally stable.
Based on his understanding of Sheng Anâning, this woman didnât have such guts.
Mr. Chen sneered slightly, and his tone suddenly became a little sinister.
âAlright, then Iâll trust you for once. Miss Sheng, I hope you wonât let me down.â
Sheng Anâningâs face turned pale. She nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was completely subservient and did not dare to lie to Mr. Chen.
âHow long has he been suffering from this illness? Why does he need to treat it in such a secretive manner?â
Mr. Chen raised his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the rearview mirror. He looked at Sheng Anâning in the back seat casually.
Sheng Anâning was frightened by Mr. Chenâs earlier threats. She still felt a lingering fear. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to remain calm.
âIt must have happened since he was a child. He was sick once when he was about eight years old. Now, it should be the second time because the cause and behavior of his illness are too strange. The Jiang family doesnât want to make Jiang Xuecheng a freak, so naturally, they wonât publicize it.â
Mr. Chen listened thoughtfully. It seemed that although Jiang Xuechengâs illness was unimaginable, it was the easiest weakness to exploit.
âMr. Chen, is there anything else you need me to do?â
Sheng Anâning raised her head carefully, her beautiful eyes unconsciously showing a hint of respect, and even complete fear.
It was terrible to have oneâs life in someone elseâs hands.
Sheng Anâning was a person who cherished her life. She did not want to die young.
Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows calmly and looked at Sheng Anâning. His voice was as calm as the flowing water under the bridge, without the slightest ripple.
âYes, of course. Miss Sheng, do you want to go back to S City and see for yourself?â
âYou can let me go back to S City?â
Sheng Anâningâs eyes lit up when she heard that. B City was such a poor and desolate place. She could not find any suitable clothes. She had had enough!
âI owe you a favor. Of course, such a small matter is not a problem.â
As Mr. Chen spoke, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up and he sneered.
âMiss Sheng must be very unhappy about the matter between Jiang Haoxuan and Lin Feiâer. Perhaps you can contact Jiang Haoxuan privately after you return to S City. As for more, you donât need me to teach you, right?â
As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, Sheng Anâningâs expression froze. She clenched her red nails into her palms and nodded vigorously.
From the day she was banished from the Jiang family, Jiang Haoxuan did still have feelings for her. As long as they could meet, Sheng Anâning didnât believe that Jiang Haoxuan would treat her like air!
As Mr. Chen spoke, he suddenly pressed the horn. The rapid sound of the Horn echoed in the empty street, making it even more ear-piercing.
The man in sunglasses who had been standing guard outside was awakened by the sound of the horn and hurriedly walked over.
âMiss Sheng, remember that you havenât seen me today. Alright, you may get off.â
As soon as Mr. Chenâs coarse and unpleasant voice fell, Sheng Anâning saw the man in sunglasses open the car door.
Sheng Anâningâs lips parted. She actually had some things she wanted to say to Mr. Chen, but since he had ordered her to leave, she couldnât stay any longer.
âMiss Sheng, itâs been a pleasure working with you.â
Sheng Anâning bit her lip with a blank look on her face. She nodded at Mr. Chen and finally got out of the car.
The man in sunglasses glanced at Sheng Anâning with disdain. He then opened the door of the passenger seat and sat in it.
Soon, the door was closed and the black Volkswagen suddenly started to move. Like an arrow leaving a bow, it raised a cloud of dust and disappeared from Sheng Anâningâs sight.
The car was too inconspicuous. Sheng Anâning remembered the license plate number when she got out of the car, but she didnât hold any hope in her heart.
For a cautious and mysterious person like Mr. Chen, this license plate number was 100% fake. It would be futile to check it out.
Who exactly was Mr. Chen? Why did he have to make things difficult for the Jiang family?
Sheng Anâning looked at the melting moonlight in the sky and her beautiful eyes showed some disappointment. She sighed and then took out her phone to check the time for the upcoming meteor shower.
Coincidentally, there was a meteor shower in the constellation of the Phoenix in July. There were only ten days left.
Sheng Anâning frowned and clenched her teeth tightly. A strong sense of hostility enveloped her.
She couldnât be blamed for all of this. The Jiang family had betrayed her first. What was the big deal about her doing this!
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday again. Su Wan and Lin Feiâer had agreed to meet today to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Too many things had happened during this period of time. Su Wan was already feeling a little irritated, and Lin Feiâer was a mess. She had lingering and complicated feelings.
The location was at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant on North Second Street. Lin Feiâer had not arrived when Su Wan arrived.
She turned on her phone and asked Lin Feiâer how long it would take for her to arrive. Seeing that she would answer in at most five minutes, she simply called the waiter to start ordering.
The dishes were served very quickly in this restaurant. In just a few minutes, two dishes of tea and snacks were served.
Su Wan had not eaten earlier and felt a little hungry. She could not help but reach out to grab a piece of pineapple barbecued pork bun first.
Mmm, the taste was not bad.
Su Wan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Just as she was about to take another big bite, she suddenly heard a clear and crisp cry coming from not far away.
âWan, you started eating before me!â
