Chapter 636 - 636 Unworthy of the Name
636 Unworthy of the Name
Ji Yan’s voice had always been pleasant to listen to. After the faint hoarseness at the end, it was like a numbing electric current, sticking to Shen Hanxing’s ear and lightly brushed past her earlobes, making her tremble.
The sun is so bright today, Shen Hanxing thought nonchalantly. The hot air had all turned into fine wine, and with each breath Ji Yan’s slightly bitter pine scent wafted into her nose, making her feel a little tipsy.
“What exactly do you mean by this?” At this moment, a female voice choked with sobs rang out, as well as the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan had deliberately found a place with fewer people. They were hugging each other affectionately and it was obvious that they did not want to be disturbed. Even those who wanted to come up to talk to them had to find the right time to do so. People in the upper-class social circles were all smart and hence naturally would not senselessly show up at this time. Therefore, even if people passed by or saw this scene, they would all leave tactfully, giving the whole space to Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing.
However, the person who had come clearly didn’t care about this. As she walked over, she was still saying angrily, “Do you know how bad our family sitaution is right now? You said that you wanted to repay me, but you’re actually only making a joke out of me, aren’t you!”
Ji Yan raised his head suddenly, his dark eyes revealing his displeasure at being disturbed. His gaze was like a sword, piercing fiercely through the person who had arrived. Shen Sisi strode over and raised her head to meet Ji Yan’s gaze. She was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks, her whole body freezing unbearably and her fear so intense that she could not even speak.
Shen Hanxing could not help frowning as well. It was rare to have time alone with Ji Yan. Was it not good to flirt around in this place with such a beautiful view? It was one thing for someone tactless to come over and disturb them, but why did it have to be the annoying Shen Sisi? Shen Hanxing looked at Shen Sisi indifferently, her gaze as cold as Ji Yan’s.
The man behind Shen Sisi had not turned the corner yet, so he naturally did not pick up on the strange atmosphere here. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he still maintained a nonchalant tone and said, “Then what can I do? Who would’ve thought that you guys would be so stupid as to…” As he turned around the corner and met Ji Yan’s and Shen Hanxing’s eyes, Zhan Cangqiong raised a corner of his mouth and narrowed his eyes: “What a coincidence, President Ji, Mrs. Ji. Nothing beats seeing the person in real life. it’s a pleasure meeting you.”
Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan were not familiar with Zhan Cangqiong. Zhan Cangqiong was tall and had half-long hair. His bangs hung down naturally, covering his malicious and dangerous eyes. He was wearing a white suit, but he did not look like a holy angel at all. He looked more like a demon who had worn the wrong clothes. He was both good and evil, and the expression on his face was demonic, as if there was nothing in the world that was worth his time. The world was a playground for the demons, he sized up all the toys in front of him and thought about what kind of fate he should arrange for them with great interest. Such a dangerous, handsome, and evil aura made Shen Hanxing’s body tense up.
Sensing Shen Hanxing’s stiffness, Ji Yan held her hand worriedly and looked at her with concern. Ji Yan was acquainted with Zhan Cangqiong and knew that his background was really not clean, he was someone most people could not afford to offend. After all, people like Zhan Cangqiong were cruel and vicious. They had no morals and could easily cause tragedies. However, this was S City after all, a city famous for its strict legal system. No matter how powerful Zhan Cangqiong’s background was, he still had to exercise some restraint here. Jin Hai was a property under Zhan Cangqiong’s name, and it was also the limit of his development in S City.
Ji Yan thought that Shen Hanxing got frightened by Zhan Cangqiong. After all, Zhan Cangqiong’s aura was not something that ordinary people could withstand. He patted Shen Hanxing’s hand and looked at Zhan Cangqiong indifferently. He sad calmly, ” Mr. Zhan Cangqiong, you really don’t live up to your name.” His gaze lightly swept past the dumbstruck Shen Sisi, as if he was looking at something. It was this gaze that was neither contemptuous nor disdainful, which made Zhan Cangqiong clench his fists as if he had been stabbed. It was also at this moment that he realized what Shen Sisi was like. She was pretty, but there were many other people who were prettier than her. She had a dark history and a vicious heart. He should not have paid attention to such a hypocritical woman. Moreover, Shen Sisi was not outstanding in any way. She was no different from the women who had clung to him in the past.
If he had to say something different, it could only be that Shen Sisi had not pretended to be close to him from the beginning till the end. Even though she was covered in dirt, in Zhan Cangqiong’s eyes, Shen Sisi was still as clean and attractive as an angel. He was full of interest in her and could not bear to see her being bullied.
