Meng Xiaonan nods her head in agreement. She glances back and sees steward Han trailing behind them by about three meters. She lowers her voice and says, “Now I know why you don’t like him. He’s not as good as your laoda. He kept watching you like you did something wrong but he calmly grabs that girl’s hand!”
“We’re done with this matter. I’m tired. Go home. Yes, we’ll divide the money 50/50, and just put the money on my card. I’ll text you my number.” Her voice is weary and tired. Xiaonan is riddled with guilt after seeing her eyes turn red, and hearing her voice.
She
turns her body to avoid eye contact with An Chuxia. She chokes. “I know you’ve had a shortcoming! It’s okay to go back since you’re tired. If something happens, I’ll call.”
She waits long enough for An Chuxia to answer before raising her arm to hail a taxi. It isn’t until Meng Xiaonan’s cab disappears in the traffic when she recovers her gaze and turns to walk back.
Steward Han hurries over to An Chuxia as soon as he sees her. His hand trembles as his speaks in a tone filled with fear. “Madame, the lady is the daughter of one of Han Group’s business partners, and is considered elite. It would be of best interest if
if you let go of your anger, please.”
In three seconds, An Chuxia covers her mouth as she laughs. “Did you see it? Despite that kid saying it’s exaggerated, his eyes were on me from start to finish.”
Steward Han is happy with An Chuxia’s response. “Madame, I like you a lot. Also, you have greater understanding of the young master.”
The smile on her face disappears after hearing steward Han’s statement. As she looks around, there is no sign of Han Qilu or that woman.Her eyes fill with loneliness. She says in passing, “Steward Han, please don’t say those words. Eventually, I will have to leave the Han residence. I won’t be his fiancee. Please don’t take this matter seriously.”
Stupidly,
matter seriously.”
Stupidly, steward Han shakes his head hurriedly. “No, madame… .”
Her phone rings. She presses the answer key and a familiar voice speaks. “Young madame?”
Him? Why is he calling? She’s afraid he’s going to ask her for help. With god as her pilot, An Chuxia’s mouth laughs out loud. “Assistant Ding? How are you free to give me a call?”
“This morning, I failed to send you a gift from the ceremony, and I feel badly about it. I took the time to get you something. I hope I can meet up with you.” His voice sounds sincere over the phone. An Chuxia kneads her temple. She can’t see any reason to refuse. However… the gifts… .
“I’m at gifts… .
“I’m at the tea shop across the World Trade building. Come at your leisure.” Then, she turns off her mobile phone. She feels particularly busy lately. The last four or five days feel like four or five years.
Steward Han asks, “Madame, are we not going back?”
She nods slightly, suddenly transfixed on the butler. “The Han group has an alliance with the Volkswagen Group, right? How is that possible?”
Steward Han was stunned for a moment. Then, he thinks of the phone call. Raising his eyes with respect, he says, “I wouldn’t quite call it a partnership, but I guess Ding Ning needed to find you for a reason.”
“Oh?” An Chuxia ponders, smirking. “What would that be?”
