Chapter 56 What tricks did she want to play?
Xia Nuan dialed the private number that Mr. X had left for her that night.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered.
Mr. X was definitely busy. Xia Nuan walked a long distance and watched the surrounding scenery listlessly, pinching her phone.
At this time, a car passed by and parked in front of her.
Xia Nuan turned around and saw her sister Xia Yan who got out of the car and appeared before her.
Xia Yan came up and slapped Xia Nuan on her face, leaving her no chance to speak.
Xia Nuan staggered backwards after she was beat and looked at Xia Yan angrily.
Xia Yan stepped forward, twisting her beautiful face, and held Xia Nuan’s collar, “Xia Nuan, you are such a bitch! Did you say something bad about me in front of Ye Sichen?”
“What do you mean?”
Xia Nuan was confused.
“Don’t play the fool. I worked well for Ye Sichen, but was dismissed all of a sudden. I have no idea how you came back to him as a designer. Humph! But thank God, you were finally thrown out by Ye Sichen.” Xia Yan planned to approach Ye Sichen at the beginning. But since she went to work there, she almost couldn’t meet him. Because the butler, Ramon, assigned her to work in the garden, watering flowers and cutting plants with the elder servants in Ye Sichen’s house.
However, she was dismissed by Ramon half a month ago for her careless work. At the beginning, she thought she was discovered when she slacked off at work. She didn’t realize that Xia Nuan became a private designer for Ye Sichen until Ye Sichen delivered a press conference to clarify the relationship between them at Feicheng Arena.
Xia Yan envied and hated Xia Nuan. All the time, she thought it was Xia Nuan who spoke ill of her in front of Ye Sichen.
“You wouldn’t be fired if you worked hard.” Xia Nuan didn’t want to badger with Xia Yan, so she walked through her and left.
Xia Yan took her back immediately and said, “It’s all your fault! I’m telling you. I don’t have money right now, but I have to pay the invalid’s medical expenses and the mortgage. Aren’t you a big designer? Give me some money!”
Xia Nuan shook her off angrily to hear that, “Aren’t you the one who said plausibly that you had the ability to take care of our mother, and refused me to do so? How come you ask me for money when you left me no right to take care of her? Besides, what about the salary you got for such a long time? And the money you got from selling the photos in an immoral way?”
“I spent all the money on our mother’s medical expenses. Such an invalid! She would definitely drag me down! Xia Nuan, I don’t care. You can give up taking care of her, but you must give money to me!” Xia Yan said hatefully.
“Xia Yan, I know you are gambling again, so I wouldn’t give you any money. If you are unable to support our mother, I can take care of her. But don’t even think about to get a penny from me.” Xia Nuan said with a resolute attitude.
She turned around and left decisively.
Xia Yan stamped her feet because of anger and yelled at Xia Nuan, “Fine. you don’t want to give me the money? Don’t regret it!”
Xia Nuan paused for a few seconds, but still didn’t look back.
Xia Nuan didn’t turn around until Xia Yan drove away.
She saw Xia Yan sit with a man in the car when she drove on.
Xia Nuan was a little familiar with the man. It seemed like the man was the gangster who used to chase Xia Yan for debts, namely like Hao.
Xia Nuan got worried.
Xia Yan stayed with hooligans and gambled once she had a little money. How could she take good care of their mother?
No, she must pick her mother up to her side. But her mother prejudiced against her all the time. Xia Nuan wasn’t sure whether her mother was willing to see her or not.
What if Xia Yan abused their mother after being forced?
Now that Ye Sichen was involved in an incident, Xia Nuan was unable to take care of her mother. Maybe it would be better to give Xia Yan a sum of money to stabilize her. Anyway, Xia Nuan was going to Zhongshan City with her mother after Ye Sichen got out of trouble.
Thinking of this, Xia Nuan called Xia Yan.
Xia Yan’s phone number wasn’t changed. When Xia Nuan dialed the phone, it got through easily. Soon, Xia Yan drove back and parked in front of Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan gave her savings to Xia Yan, “Take care of our mother with the money, and I hope that you can take care of her well.”
“Got it.” Xia Yan took the card eagerly and got on the car.
Xia Nuan frowned. She still worried about her mother because she knew clearly that Xia Yan wouldn’t take care of their mother well. But if she didn’t give her money, Xia Yan might vent her grievances to their mother.
Therefore, she had to solve the problems before looking after her mother.
Xia Yan dialed Mr. X’s phone again, but no one answered as before. She didn’t give up and tried to dial the phone again and again…
In a quiet room, Ye Sichen closed his eyes and ignored the successive ringtones.
“Ding…”
He opened his eyes slowly and looked at the phone screen. He had known the number by heart.
It was Xia Nuan.
She didn’t look for him but the other identity of him – – Mr. X.
He held his phone tight and dropped the phone suddenly to the ground.
The phone was cracked and splintered into pieces.
Ken and his lawyer team were frightened. In their memory, Ye Sichen never got angry like that.
“Sorry, Ken, you have to buy a new phone for me.” He smiled bitterly and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
Xia Nuan’s phone disconnected suddenly, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Wandering on the street alone at night, Xia Nuan looked at the flashing neon lights outside and sighed faintly.
She held the phone and sent a message to Mr. X, “Sorry for disturbing you. Can we meet again? There is something I want to tell you face to face. I have booked a hotel room in Feicheng Square Center. Wish you can come.”
Ken prepared a new phone quickly for Ye Sichen, and installed the phone card for him silently.
It was Ye Sichen’s private phone. He used it to contract with the intimate. Did he throw the phone because Luo Dai’er sent any unpleasant message to him?
Ken didn’t dare to think too much and handed the phone to Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen didn’t look at it. He threw it aside and said calmly, “The news of the two female fans shouldn’t be disclosed to anyone. I had reached an agreement with the police to allure other associates through them.” As he said that, he got up to go to the hospital.
Ken nodded, “Yes, sir. It’s strictly private and confidential. No one would know the truth. But if we don’t disclose the news that they are out of danger, their family members would ask for more compensation. Besides, the procuratorate would interrogate you endlessly…”
“Relax. We need an appropriate time to reveal it to the public.” Ye Sichen went to the hospital after saying that.
He took illicit drugs mistakenly and was framed for selling illicit drugs which led to serious coma of the two female fans. There was even a speculation that he traded for smuggling and illicit drugs. The incident was so ambiguous and unclear, so he must find out the planner behind this.
After confirming the two female fans recovered steadily, he left the hospital trustingly. It was already dark and the twilight enveloped the whole city outside the hospital. He got on the car and opened the phone unconsciously.
At first glance, he saw the message from Xia Nuan.
Ye Sichen’s lips twitched coldly.
The hypocritical woman began to gang up with Mr. X when she had nowhere to go. She kept calling Mr. X to seduce him. If she knew that Mr. X and Ye Sichen were the same person, would she still be so brazen?
It seemed that Ye Sichen thought of something. He considered it for a while and dialed back.
Xia Nuan picked up the phone delightedly, “Mr. X, where are you? I want to see you.”
Ye Sichen stared at the sky with a cold face, and changed into a hoarse and low voice, “Do you miss me that much?”
Xia Nuan paused for a few seconds and said, “Hum! I need to talk to you. I am in the Feicheng Square Center. You can come over and find me here.”
“You can’t wait to meet me, can you? Are you dying to make love with any man?” Ye Sichen laughed at her in a cold and low voice on the phone.
“I… Well. Whatever you think. Anyway, just come over.”
Ye Sichen hung up the phone silently and looked out the window. He felt as if his heart was being squeezed for a moment and the endless loneliness spread to his whole body.
He thought she was different. However, in the end, he overestimated her. From then on, he wouldn’t open his heart for her.
“Drive to Feicheng Square Center.” Ye Sichen said to Uncle Xiang.
Approaching her was only a way for him to find out the behind-the-scenes planner. If she added the illicit drugs into the water, then she must be instigated by someone.
Therefore, he wanted to find out who was behind this.
Uncle Xiang followed his order and drove to Feicheng Square Center.
“Uncle Xiang, you can go home now.” Ye Sichen sat in the car and watched Xia Nuan with his deep eyes. She was standing in the middle of the Square Center and waiting for him eagerly.
Uncle Xiang gave the key to Ye Sichen tacitly. Then he got off and left.
Ye Sichen wore a silver mask and a hat first, then he sat in the driver’s seat, turned on the engine, and drove towards Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan looked around to find Mr. X.
Just then, a black Maybach stopped in front of her. Before she could see who was coming, the door opened.
“Get on.”
Xia Nuan saw his ghostly silver mask after the window was rolled down.
His mysterious aura grew stronger against the city lights.
Xia Nuan got on and sat next to him.
He turned on the engine again and sped up.
Xia Nuan was shocked and couldn’t help but grab the backrest of the passenger seat, “I’ve booked a room for us, and we could go there.”
He didn’t say a word all the time. His eyes were as cold as the ice. Seeing that, Xia Nuan stopped talking.
He slowed the car abruptly. Xia Nuan looked out of the window. There were a lot of stars and green bushes. It was a quiet path, and they could almost hear the birds singing, and fragrant flowers outside.
“Take off your clothes. What are you waiting for? Didn’t you like having sex in the wild?” He gave a wintry smile and his laughter was extremely harsh in the crowded carriage.
Xia Nuan gritted her teeth and took off her coat. Then her waist was tightened by him fiercely.
The silver mask was attached to her face, revealing an indifferent, ruthless, and cold man. Xia Nuan frowned and closed her eyes.
“Open your eyes.” He whispered discontentedly in her ears.
Xia Nuan had to open her eyes and looked at his eyes. Her heart trembled for a moment.
“Ah!”
The piercing pain spread all over her body, and she cried out in distress.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, he didn’t show any tenderness…
Xia Nuan was sore. For the sake of Ye Sichen, she had to endure. But he didn’t stop until Xia Nuan was about to faint.
“Mr. X, can we make a deal?” Xia Nuan endured the pain and said weakly.
“What kind of deal?” He asked casually, and there was a sneer in his eyes, “Does a woman, like you, deserve to talk to me about a deal?”
What tricks did she want to play?
