Chapter 466 - The Last Straw
Chapter 466: The Last Straw
Sheng An’ning was furious. Half-sprawled on the seat of the car, she felt like she was in so much pain after being thrown by the man in sunglasses!
Her eyes were burning and tears were about to flow out!
Sheng An’ning rubbed her aching body and cursed the man in sunglasses in her heart a hundred and eighty times over.
She was not a commodity, how could he throw her around like this!
Just as Sheng An’ning was going crazy, she heard a familiar hoarse voice. She was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but tremble.
It was Mr. Chen’s voice. Although they had only met twice before, Sheng An’ning was very familiar with the nature of Mr. Chen’s fake voice…
The anger in Sheng An’ning’s heart dissipated and was replaced by uneasiness.
She had to admit that she was afraid of Mr. Chen, especially now that they were so close to each other. This made Sheng An’ning even more uneasy.
She couldn’t help but stroke her bangs and slowly sat in the back seat. She raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her.
As soon as she got into the car, she realized that the black Volkswagen was parked in a very clever position. The headlights were only shining on the back of the car.
There was not a single light on in the car. With the help of the faint silver moonlight outside the window, Sheng An’ning could not see Mr. Chen’s real appearance at all.
What surprised Sheng An’ning was that Mr. Chen was still dressed like he was in such hot weather!
Mr. Chen was sitting in the driver’s seat with his back straight and his head high. He was still wearing his airtight black clothes that wrapped him up tightly.
He was also wearing a big black hat. From Sheng An’ning’s angle, she could see the big sunglasses on his nose bridge.
There was no air-conditioning in the car. Did Mr. Chen really not feel the heat at all?
Sheng An’ning’s beautiful eyes froze and she subconsciously looked at Mr. Chen’s hands.
Mr. Chen’s hands were well-defined and slender. His skin was also fair and delicate. There was not a single drop of sweat on the back of his hands, which made him particularly pleasing to the eye.
It was obvious that such a pair of hands could only be possessed by someone who lived in luxury.
Sheng An’ning could not help but feel a little curious. Looking at him from such a close distance, she felt that he was really very young.
Most importantly, he looked very refined even when he was sitting there. His bearing was really impeccable.
She had previously determined that Mr. Chen was no older than 40, but now Sheng An’ning felt that the range could be narrowed down. Judging from his hands, he was no older than 30.
“Why aren’t you speaking, Miss Sheng?”
Seeing Sheng An’ning’s long silence, Mr. Chen’s lips curved into a smile as he asked softly.
His harsh and hoarse voice immediately made Sheng An’ning frown.
Sheng An’ning really hated Mr. Chen’s voice. To be more precise, she hated Mr. Chen’s fake voice.
She subconsciously felt that Mr. Chen’s original voice should be very pleasant to hear. At least, it wouldn’t ruin her mood like this.
However, no matter how bold Sheng An’ning was, she didn’t dare to suggest Mr. Chen to speak in his original voice.
The tone of his voice was meant to conceal his identity. If she asked that question, she would be asking to throw away her own life!
Sheng An’ning sat at the back cautiously, her hands crossed on her lap in embarrassment.
“Mr. Chen, long time no see. May I know why Mr. Chen is looking for me now?”
The mysterious man in the driver’s seat laughed when he heard that. His laughter echoed in the narrow car, adding a bit of strangeness to the atmosphere inside.
Sheng An’ning even felt that this low and hoarse laughter seemed to come from the throat of a devil. It made her heart stop and she almost found it hard to breathe.
“Mr. Chen, what are you laughing at?”
Sheng An’ning grabbed the cushion nervously and tried her best to keep calm.
“Oh, it’s nothing…”
Mr. Chen shook his head lightly. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the woman behind him through the rearview mirror.
Sheng An’ning knew that Mr. Chen was looking at her through the rearview mirror. Sheng An’ning’s heart skipped a few beats.
She even felt that Mr. Chen was like a God looking at her. Her thoughts could not be hidden at all.
No, it should not just be her feeling. It was the real.
“Miss Sheng, I thought that after the birthday banquet, you would hate me to the bone and scold me a thousand times. But it seems that Miss Sheng is very calm when she sees me.”
A deep voice came from the front. It was clearly as calm as the lake, but Sheng An’ning was terrified when she heard it.
This must be sarcasm, right?
Mr. Chen had actually seen through her state of mind with just one sentence…
She had indeed cursed Mr. Chen a thousand times in her heart!
Sheng An’ning tightened her grip on the cushion. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at the mysterious man in front of her again.
All of a sudden, cold sweat broke out on Sheng An’ning’s forehead.
If Mr. Chen wanted to kill her now, it would be easier than squashing an ant. Since Mr. Chen had already seen through her state of mind and still wanted to meet her, she would definitely be fine.
Sheng An’ning composed herself and forced herself to remain calm.
Knowing that Mr. Chen was constantly looking at her, Sheng An’ning forced a wry smile and tried her best to make her expression look more natural.
“Mr. Chen, you know that bitch Su Wan has been displeased with me for a long time. Even if there was no birthday banquet, I’m afraid she would have joined forces with others to kick me out of the Jiang family…”
No matter what, she would never admit that she was cursing Mr. Chen in her heart. By saying this, she would at least give herself a way out so that their conversation would not be so awkward.
As soon as Sheng An’ning finished speaking, Sheng An’ning did not hear Mr. Chen speak for a long time.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to be even more tense.
Sheng An’ning’s heart was pounding non-stop. Her teeth were chattering as she asked Mr. Chen tentatively.
“Mr. Chen? What’s wrong?”
“I was just thinking about what Miss Sheng said just now. Miss Sheng, I’m glad that you can see the whole thing so clearly.”
Hearing Mr. Chen’s words, Sheng An’ning felt that this man was even more shameless, but she still maintained her calm on the surface.
Sheng An’ning couldn’t stand Mr. Chen beating around the bush. She gritted her teeth and finally summoned up the courage to ask the question she wanted to ask the most.
“Mr. Chen, after leaving the Jiang family, I’m just a nobody. Why did you ask to see me in such a grand manner?”
As Sheng An’ning spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the person in front of her. Mr. Chen, on the other hand, was extremely quiet. He didn’t move at all and allowed Sheng An’ning to look at him.
When Sheng An’ning’s question entered his ears, the smile on Mr. Chen’s face widened. He was very satisfied with Sheng An’ning’s realising the current situation.
This was the first time Sheng An’ning had taken the initiative to show her willingness to cooperate.
The fact that she had been kicked out of the Jiang family must have been the last straw that crushed Sheng An’ning.
However, he didn’t sympathize with Sheng An’ning at all. He came here this time to give her a heavier blow.
“Miss Sheng, of course I’m here to tell you the news. You don’t know yet, do you? Jiang Haoxuan has proposed to Lin Fei’er…”
