Chapter 320: Better The Devil You Know Than The Devil You Don’t
With thick skin, Su Wan pretended not to see Jiang Xuecheng’s mocking eyes. She occupied the co-driver’s seat directly.
Anyway, she had Jiang Xuecheng as her driver. What was the difference if she could drive on the road or not?
With this ostrich-like thought, a faint smile appeared on Su Wan’s lips.
Jiang Xuecheng slowly fastened his seat belt. Then, when he turned, he saw a light smile on Su Wan’s lips and there was helplessness in his eyes.
He started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. The Koenigsegg Agera R, as white as snow, zoomed down the road in an instant.
Su Wan leaned against the car seat and suddenly thought of something. She lowered her head and took out her mobile phone to check messages.
Su Wan had deleted the Weibo application earlier on but she had not expected to be involved in another storm so soon. She had to reinstall Weibo in order to get the latest information.
The instigator of these two events was Sheng An’ning. This woman was too much!
Su Wan pouted. After reinstalling the Weibo application, she found Sheng An’ning’s name on the list of verified celebrities immediately.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She clicked on Sheng An’ning’s name and went onto Sheng An’ning’s Weibo page. Then, she saw the picture posted by Sheng An’ning at 7.30 am.
Sheng was wearing a black and red dress and was soaked in the water. The blood in the water was red and frightening!
Su Wan’s fingers trembled. If Sheng An’ning really bled as much as the picture showed, could she still live?
Su Wan felt upset for no reason. She clicked the comments below the post on Weibo and her breathing slacked.
Although she knew she was being scolded on Weibo, this one-sided situation made her feel more or less uneasy.
“Who does Su Wan think she is? How thick is her skin to use Gu Zihang, Lu Qingyu, and Jiang Xuecheng to climb up? Now, she even hooked up with Director Li Shan. Li Shan is old enough to be her father!”
“Poor Fairy An. If she really died because of Su Wan, we must let Su Wan pay with her life!”
“Sigh, have you forgotten about the previous topic on ‘Young Master’s Wife Committed Adultery’? It was not long before the post was removed. She’s powerful. Watch what you say here!”
“Can the young master really tolerate such vicious woman like Su Wan? Why did he try his best to clear her off the accusation?”
“Fairy An, you’re so good, you’ll be alright. The scum with the surname Su will definitely get her due retribution.”
***
As the system automatically blocked some dirty words, what Su Wan could see now were milder comments.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She scrolled down several pages and finally managed to find a few comments stating they were willing to trust her character.
Suddenly, Su Wan had mixed feelings. She looked down and started to browse through the comments in the topic ‘Fairy An cut her wrist’.
Now, Su Wan knew why some people said she had an ambiguous relationship with Lu Qingyu and Li Shan.
Didn’t they say the shooting site of Roses of Mariposa advertisement had been cleared? How could someone manage to get a video?
Moreover, she had met Lu Qingyu by chance at the end of March and there was a picture of them having lunch at a restaurant in Beitong!
At that time, Sheng An’ning didn’t know her yet, did she?
There were more and more suspicions in Su Wan’s mind. She was almost sure that Sheng An’ning was not the only one who added fuel to the flames in this incident.
Su Wan knew the only people in S City who had grudges with her were Sheng An’ning, Su Yurou and Su Jiankai.
However, Su Yurou and her father were now in prison. How could these two people stir up trouble with their present miserable situation?
If not Su Yurou and her father, who else had such deep enmity for her, wanting her to die?
Jiang Xuecheng turned his head sideways and saw Su Wan’s tightly knitted brows and she looked as if a heavy load was on her mind.
“What’s wrong?”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s voice, Su Wan shifted her eyes away from her phone screen.
Su Wan raised her eyes and hesitated. “Xuecheng, I feel that this matter has been premeditated for a long time and it certainly isn’t planned by Sheng An’ning alone.”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips slightly. His deep eyes were fixed on the road condition in front of him. A sharp light flashed suddenly.
Even Su Wan had realized…
Immediately, a name arose in Jiang Xuecheng’s mind—Mr. Chen.
No one knew this man’s actual name or his family background but he had been stirring up storms all around. Jiang Xuecheng had never expected him to contact Sheng An’ning now.
Just when Jiang Xuecheng was worried about how to solve the clues of Mr. Chen, Sheng An’ning had become a new breakthrough point.
Jiang Xuecheng’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. There was something enigmatic about him but he looked calm and there was no sign of anger.
Just ahead of them was a crossroad. The traffic light was red and he stepped on the brake as the car stopped steadily.
“Tell me, how did you come to this conclusion?”
When the man’s deep voice entered Su Wan’s ears, her brows were knitted deeper. She recalled what she thought of just now and showed him the post on Weibo.
“Firstly, the person slandered me of being too close to Director Li Shan and accused me of accepting the female lead of the Roses of Mariposa advertisement. Secondly, the person took a photo of me having lunch with Lu Qingyu in March.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes swept across the two pictures and his dark eyes deepened.
“Wan Wan, we had both just registered for marriage at that time, right?”
“Yes.”
Su Wan didn’t know what Jiang Xuecheng meant at first but after some thoughts, her eyes widened.
“Were there many people who knew we were married?”
Su Wan asked with uneasiness but she had guessed the answer.
Except for the staff who had handled their registration of marriage, only those close to them knew of their marriage.
For example, Jiang Xuecheng did not hide from Ah Si and Su Wan did not hide from Lin Fei’er. It was such unreserved trust that they shared their joy of marriage.
Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
To think about it now, how scary is it when you don’t know what grudge this person who is close to you has against you?
Jiang Xuecheng did not answer Su Wan’s question. His eyes were deep and quiet and he had a complex look.
Who was the person who had been hiding in the dark?
The target range had become smaller now.
Just when Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were deep in thoughts, the red light blinked several times and instantly, it turned green.
Jiang Xuecheng regained his senses. When he heard the car behind him honking, he stepped on the accelerator and the car began to move.
As soon as they arrived at The City Hospital of S City, even before they got down from the car, a group of reporters swarmed in around them, trapping them in the car!
