Chapter 501: He Lied To Su Wan
Su Wan was stunned when she heard what Jiang Xuecheng said. The car did not brake properly and suddenly vibrated.
Su Wan hurriedly stepped on the brake and immediately pulled the handbrake.
“Why are you suddenly going to B city for a business trip? I’ve never heard of it from you before, and it will take a few days…”
Su Wan frowned and looked at Jiang Xuecheng in confusion.
The economy of B city was far less developed than that of S City and A city. According to what Su Wan knew, Di Chen Group had only set up a small branch in B city. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan’s surprised face indifferently. His face was calm, and his eyes were like stars in the night sky, hard to see.
“I suddenly had a business deal, and a few days ago, Sheng An’ning’s body was sent back to the Sheng family for burial. Grandfather asked me to go to the Sheng family again.”
Su Wan suddenly understood and nodded. “No wonder you would be gone for so long.”
After all, the senior master of the Jiang family was on good terms with Sheng An’ning’s deceased grandfather. Now that such a thing had happened, it was indeed time to comfort the Sheng family.
When Su Wan’s voice entered his ears, a glimmer of light flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes.
In fact, he had lied to Su Wan.
To be precise, Jiang Xuecheng did not go to B City this time because of Sheng An’ning. Instead, he had found some other clues through Sheng An’ning.
Previously, Jiang Xuecheng had been trying to find Mr. Chen’s base of operations. In a place like S City, all kinds of checks were stricter. It was not easy for Mr. Chen to set up camp there.
Based on those clues, he had gradually found some of Mr. Chen’s bases of operations in B City.
He had sent people to ambush the surroundings and took them down in one fell swoop. It could be said that he had gained a lot.
Now, Jiang Xuecheng wanted to personally make a trip to B city to confirm some things…
He had suspicions for a long time. Finally, there were results.
When Jiang Xuecheng thought of Mr. Chen and his not yet exhausted power, he could not help but purse the corners of his lips. He looked deeply at the girl beside him who did not know anything and hesitated to speak.
“Wan Wan…”
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng calling her name softly, Su Wan untied her seatbelt and looked at him in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng let out a light breath. He fixed his eyes on Su Wan’s ignorant face and eventually buried everything in his heart.
Those dirty and sinful things should not be known to the girl beside him.
Su Wan had suffered enough blows in the past few months. Moreover, Mr. Chen was considered the real culprit who had killed Su Wan’s grandmother. If he revealed anything, Jiang Xuecheng was afraid that Su Wan would not listen to him, and go with him.
Jiang Xuecheng did not want Su Wan to have so much resentment. He wanted to bear all the hardships for her. It would not be too late to tell Su Wan after Mr. Chen was arrested and brought to justice.
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s lips. Anyone could see the concern in his eyes.
“Wan Wan, you must take good care of yourself while I’m away, okay?”
At this moment, Su Wan didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter. She burst into laughter when she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words.
“Okay, I know. I’m not a child. I’ll take good care of myself. By the way, Xuecheng, when will you be back?”
Xuecheng furrowed his brows slightly. His well-defined fingers unintentionally tapped on the cushion.
“I’ll probably be back this Sunday.”
This Sunday…
That was not too long.
Su Wan nodded slightly. She suddenly remembered something. She looked at Xuecheng pitifully. The pleading in her eyes was obvious.
“Xuecheng, Will Ah Si go with you? I really don’t know how to drive. What if I really hit a tree by myself? Can you lend him to me as a driver for a few days?”
When Xuecheng heard this, his eyes darkened. He had originally planned to bring Ah Si with him to B City.
But now, it seemed that it was not a bad idea to leave Ah Si with her. Xuecheng had been a little worried that something would happen to Su Wan if she stayed in S City alone. It would be better with Ah Si taking care of her.
Xuecheng was silent for a moment. Then, he smiled and reached out his hand to knock Su Wan’s fair forehead.
“Oh you, are you so worried that you won’t be able to drive well? You can ask Ah Si to pick you up, but he’ll sit in the co-driver’s seat and guide you. If your driving skills are still so rusty when I come back, don’t blame me.”
Jiang Xuecheng used a bit of strength, and Su Wan curled her lips helplessly. Why did she feel like she didn’t get any benefits? Instead, she was assigned a lot of homework?
Seeing Su Wan’s somewhat resentful expression, the corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curled into a beautiful arc.
“Alright, don’t pull a long face. I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s all for my own good.”
Su Wan sat angrily on the driver’s seat. She felt that the next few days would be exceptionally miserable!
Jiang Xuecheng smiled and couldn’t help but pinch Su Wan’s face twice.
Just as Su Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng, Jiang Xuecheng’s indifferent voice quietly spilled out of his thin lips.
“Wan Wan, recently, S City has been a bit chaotic. During the few days that I’m not around, remember not to run around. Just stay at home and stay in touch with Di Chen Group, understand?”
“You’ve already gone to B City, yet you still want to restrict my personal freedom?”
Seeing Su Wan’s unwilling look, Jiang Xuecheng rubbed her head. The smile on his lips disappeared, and his expression suddenly became serious.
“Promise me, okay?”
Su Wan was a little confused by Jiang Xuecheng’s serious look. However, she usually stayed at home. These few days, Lin Fei’er was busy with the wedding arrangements, so she probably wouldn’t ask her to hang out.
Anyway, it was only for a few days. Su Wan thought for a second and immediately nodded.
“Alright, but you must remember to come back early.”
Seeing that Su Wan agreed meekly, Jiang Xuecheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He tilted his body and suddenly planted a gentle kiss on Su Wan’s forehead.
“good girl, I Will Remember.”
Su Wan’s face was slightly red. Although that gentle touch disappeared in a flash, Jiang Xuecheng’s voice, which was as warm as fine wine, lingered in her heart for a long time.
As a voice-activated person, Su Wan always felt that a casual sentence from Jiang Xuecheng could turn into a killer of girls’ hearts.
…
The next day, when Su Wan woke up according to her biological clock, the quilt beside her had already collapsed.
Because Jiang Xuecheng had always woken up earlier than Su Wan, Su Wan rubbed her sleepy eyes. She did not realize that Jiang Xuecheng had already gone to B City.
When she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she saw a note posted at the door — Ah Si will come to pick you up for the next few days. He will buy you breakfast, you don’t have to make it.
Su Wan was stunned and suddenly realised that Jiang Xuecheng had already left.
Su Wan took some cold water and splashed it on her face. When she thought about how she would be alone in this huge house for the next few days, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Why did she feel that she had started to miss that man as soon as he left?
She felt that his aura was everywhere in Fontainebleau…
