Chapter 241: “Scumbag” Xia Wei
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Actually, after hearing An Nan’s words, Xin Xin calmed down a little.
She was not an impulsive and stupid person. She would only be affected by the other party’s emotions in front of Xia Wei.
Moreover, with today’s situation, it was no longer suitable to continue finding trouble with Xia Wei. The other party was protected by Jian Tan and that man with gold-rimmed glasses, while she only had the incompetent An Nan around her. If Chen Yuan had followed her today, she would not have suffered such cowardly anger!
Xin Xin suppressed the anger in her chest. She thought about these useless things and finally calmed down in silence.
She looked at Xia Wei’s back for a long time. After a long while, she turned around and left, looking a little disheveled.
Huo Feng glanced at the departing An Nan and Xin Xin from the corner of his eye. After thinking for two seconds, he asked in realization, “She’s the Second Young Mistress of the An Corporation, An Nan, right? 1 even saw her brother at a cocktail party a few days ago. Could that woman with her be the little internet celebrity, Xin Xin? This doesn’t look as exaggerated as the netizens say. 1 think she can’t even compare to An Nan!”
As he said this, he looked at Xia Wei opposite him. His eyes, which were covered by the lenses, were filled with curiosity.
Hearing this, Xia Wei looked at Huo Feng. Before she could say anything, Jian Tan, who was beside her, had already “answered” for her. “Didn’t you say that you’ve always been a loyal fan of [Heartthrob TA]? Why can’t you even recognize the most popular female guests?”
Huo Feng felt guilty when he heard that because he did not watch that show seriously at all. He would usually take a quick glance when he was bored, and he would only look at Xia Wei and Jian Tan’s single version.
Seeing that Huo Feng was silent, Jian Tan couldn’t be bothered with his guilt and concealment. She turned to look at Xia Wei and said gently, “It’s getting late. 1’11 send you back to the hotel after dinner. The camper van is better hidden and safe.”
Xia Wei instinctively wanted to reject Jian Tan, but when she noticed that the surrounding customers were taking photos of her and Jian Tan with their phones, she knew that this was not a place to continue talking.
She nodded at Jian Tan opposite her and stood up to leave the dining table. She took the baseball cap from Lin Yi.
Five minutes later, beside the parking lot outside the restaurant, Xia Wei looked around. After confirming that there were no paparazzi or fans lying in ambush, she looked up at Jian Tan beside her. “I have a chauffeur to pick me up. You don’t have to trouble yourself to make a trip. I’ll go back myself.”
Xia Wei’s original intention was actually to feel sorry for Jian Tan. She knew that Jian Tan had worked all day today and had taken a few hours of flight back. She should be very, very tired now. It was indeed not good to continue troubling Jian Tan over such a small matter.
However, she did not dare to show her concern too obviously, so she simply rejected him.
Jian Tan did not say anything after hearing Xia Wei’s words, but there seemed to be a hint of disappointment and defeat in his deep and affectionate eyes.
Huo Feng found an excuse to slip away when they just came out of the restaurant. Once he left, Jian Tan and Xia Wei seemed to have one less topic to talk about.
In this tense atmosphere, Lin Yi and Jian Tan’s assistant, Qing, missed him very much!
However, Jian Tan was naturally not someone who would make things difficult for Xia Wei. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and replied, “Alright, text me when you arrive. Goodnight.”
Under Jian Tan’s gentle and considerate attack, Xia Wei almost couldn’t help but break. She took a barely noticeable breath and looked at Jian Tan with a smile. “Then let’s part ways here. Thank you for treating me to a meal today. I’m going back. Bye.”
Jian Tan only smiled at her when he heard that. He didn’t say anything, nor did he express that there was no need to thank him.
Perhaps the smile in Jian Tan’s eyes was too gentle and lingering. Before Xia Wei got into the car and left, she kept feeling like she had let down her handsome young master. In the words of the netizens, she was a scumbag!
Suppressing the inexplicable guilt in her heart, Xia Wei looked away from Jian Tan and said to Wu Yong in the driver’s seat, “Let’s go.”
Wu Yong responded respectfully. Before the car drove out, he glanced at Jian Tan outside the car without batting an eyelid..
