Chapter 219 - Find A Good Opportunity To Talk
Hearing that voice, Su Wan and Gu Zihang turned around and looked together.
They saw Sheng An’ning standing in the corridor. The light over her face shone on her and made her look like a blooming crabapple. She was breathtakingly beautiful!
Gu Zihang was slightly taken aback. His original sadness and affection suddenly dispersed. Stunned, he looked at Sheng An’ning, then at Su Wan.
Both of them were strangely similar in terms of facial features. If one were to ask a few passersby, many would think Su Wan and Sheng An’ning were biological sisters.
However, Sheng An’ning was more femininely beautiful with a sense of delicate innocence between her brows while Su Wan’s temperament was cold ever since she married Jiang Xuecheng.
Sheng An’ning walked over quickly and looked at Gu Zihang from head to toe, leaving no trace.
Glancing from far a while ago, she felt this man had an outstanding appearance. Now that she looked from near, he had indeed not disappointed her.
Su Wan didn’t know how much of their argument Sheng An’ning had heard but even if she had heard everything, Su Wan didn’t mind.
She and Gu Zihang were now strangers and in a way, even worse than strangers.
“An’ning, this is Gu Group’s CEO, Mr. Gu Zihang.”
Sheng An’ning nodded and stretched out her hand in a friendly manner. “Hello, I’m Sheng An’ning.”
A light flashed through Gu Zihang’s eyes very quickly. He had heard this name before! It was said that she was the granddaughter of the Jiang old man’s subordinate and had been fostered in the Jiang family since young…
Gu Zihang stretched out his hand naturally. “Hello, I’m Gu Zihang.”
When Su Wan saw how Sheng An’ning and Gu Zihang felt like old friends during their first meet, her expression was complicated.
She looked at Sheng An’ning and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “An’ning, I’ll go back first.”
Sheng An’ning nodded. Then, she chatted with Gu Zihang eagerly. It was not because she had taken a fancy to Gu Zihang but she was interested in Gu Zihang’s and Su Wan’s argument.
She believed that a husband would not feel happy if another man were to entangle with his wife.
This man, Gu Zihang was indeed a person she could use.
Sheng An’ning tilted her face and there was innocent light in her eyes.
“Mr. Gu, what’s your relationship with my sister-in-law? Both of you seem familiar but my sister-in-law doesn’t seem to treat you as her friend?”
Gu Zihang looked at Sheng An’ning’s face who was very similar to Su Wan and his emotions floated far away. It turned out that there were people who looked alike in this world.
Gu Zihang regained his senses when Sheng An’ning asked again, he heaved a melancholic sigh and replied slowly, “Before March this year, I was Wan’s fiancé but I’ve let her down…”
A sudden wave of surprise hit Sheng An’ning. She had not expected Gu Zihang to have such complicated dispute with Su Wan!
It was currently only end of May and it meant that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan had known one another for two months at most!
How strong could a short two-month relationship be?
A provoking smile appeared on Sheng An’ning’s face. She raised her brows and probed, “Mr. Gu, do you still like my sister-in-law? I have liked a man until now but he has married someone else.”
If only she could make Gu Zihang her ally, things would be simpler…
Upon hearing this, Gu Zihang was taken aback. He looked at Sheng An’ning’s water-colored eyes from above.
She was wearing a faint smile, like the most tender and beautiful flower in spring on a high tree top which could only be viewed from a distance and not be played with.
However, hidden under this flower was its toxic pungency. Those who picked the flower would end up dead.
Hearing Sheng An’ning’s genuine expression, Gu Zihang’s gloomy look calmed down. He raised his brows as he asked, “Could the person you like the one I’m thinking?”
Sheng An’ning smiled a gentle smile and passed Gu Zihang a name card with gold stamping.
“With your wisdom, you should’ve guessed easily. Today is not a good time to talk. When you’re free, I’d like to give you a treat.”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked toward the private room.
Gu Zihang looked at Sheng An’ning’s curvaceous and graceful back. He crumpled the name card in his palm, harder and harder.
This woman called Sheng An’ning was like a rose with thorns. It was the first time they had ever met and she was so daring to test him. It showed the depth of her mind.
Gu Zihang loathed women who had scheming minds. This was also why he hated Su Yurou later.
However, it was an option to make Sheng An’ning an ally.
Sheng An’ning liked Jiang Xuecheng and he liked Su Wan. Each of them could take what they wanted and they could both live in peace.
***
When Sheng An’ning returned to the private room, everyone was almost full.
Jiang Haoxuan darted Sheng An’ning a look of dissatisfaction and grumbled, “An’ning, why did you take so long?”
Sheng An’ning looked down shyly and sat down beside Jiang Haoxuan as she explained softly, “I had a stomach ache just now, that’s why I came back late…”
Su Wan gave Sheng An’ning a quiet look and didn’t believe what she said. If she had guessed correctly, Sheng An’ning had chatted with Gu Zihang for a long time.
Could Gu Zihang have taken a fancy to Sheng An’ning?
However, it was hard to say because Sheng An’ning was a real beauty.
With heartache, Luo Xiuxiu touched Sheng An’ning’s forehead. “Did you stay abroad for too long and have trouble adjusting now?”
Sheng An’ning shook her head smilingly. “Don’t worry, Grandmother. I’m healthy.”
Luo Xiuxiu looked at Sheng An’ning disapprovingly and pointed at her cheeks. “When we get back to the old mansion, I’ll get Dr. Xu to check on you.”
Suddenly, Jiang Xuecheng stood up and interrupted the conversation between Luo Xiuxiu and Sheng An’ning.
“It’s almost time, Wan Wan and I will make a move first.”
Xu Zhiyao paled slightly when she heard what Jiang Xuecheng said. She looked at him pleadingly and asked, “Xuecheng, today, Haoxuan and An’ning are back. Can’t you follow us back to the old mansion and stay for a night?”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head. “Wan Wan and I are going to the hospital to visit her friend later. We won’t go back.”
Desolation flashed through Xu Ziyao’s beautiful eyes. She enjoined and replied, “Alright then, traffic is heavy on weekends. Drive carefully.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded slightly. Then, Su Wan stood up too and waved to everyone in the private room.
When they got into the Koenigsegg Agera R, Su Wan took out the pen that Sheng An’ning had given to Jiang Xuecheng and waved in front of him as he drove.
“A one of a kind pen sounds good.”
Jiang Xuecheng darted her a look and with a faint smile, said, “Just give it to Ah Si. He would like it.”
Su Wan shrugged. She took out the little bluish-purple bottle of perfume and uncapped the bottle. Instantly, a faint fragrance lingered in her nose.
