Chapter 678: Chapter 456 Regardless, You Have to Arrest Mr. Chang_2

Her, who was scolded and beaten by Han Wengang, showing a cold countenance and almost despairing of her future? Her, who would laugh perfectly, nobly and gorgeously in front of everyone? Or her, who would do anything, resort to all schemes for the sake of one man?

…Which one was really her? He couldn’t tell!

Han Shaojing felt it was pitiful and ridiculous. He had thought that he had saved a person, but in reality, he had destroyed one!

“I’ll ask again, what do you want to do? Today, you fully aware that I was with Yinchu, misled me into bringing Yinchu to that restaurant only for us to run into Nanxi in the company of another man. Han Qing, don’t tell me it was all a coincidence! You know I won’t believe it!”

Han Qing raised her head, no ripples in her eyes but her thin lips curled into a smile.

“Cousin, you came to see me because you wanted to question me? You think I’m deliberately trying to create misunderstandings and destroy Yinchu’s relationship with Gu Nanxi?”

“Isn’t that it?” Han Shaojing clenched his teeth.

“Haha!” Han Qing laughed, “You’re wrong, Cousin. Firstly, the interview was arranged by you, for me to represent the Yueting Group. Secondly, I didn’t arrange the closeness between Gu Nanxi and the reporter. I’m not God. I can’t control what two people think or do. Thirdly, if Yinchu really believes in her, and Nanxi is above board, then why would I need to cause harm? Moreover, how could I?”

Han Shaojing’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard Han Qing say, “Cousin, you asked me what I want to do. In fact, I don’t want to do anything at all. The facts are just there. Whether Yinchu sees them or not, they’ve actually happened. That’s all!”

Han Shaojing stared at her face for a moment and then suddenly began to laugh.

Amid the laughter, Han Qing’s eyebrows knit slightly, and she asked, “What are you laughing at…?”

“I’m wondering, did I help you or hurt you by bringing you to H City?”

Han Qing turned a little pale, “What do you mean by that?”

“You should understand!”

“…”

Han Qing remained silent, and they just stood in confrontation. The silent atmosphere flowed between them, and the implications were unclear.

Then a series of cellphone rings came, breaking the quiet.

Han Qing looked at her phone. The fishtail pendant swayed, catching Han Shaojing’s gaze.

His knuckles clenched slightly and he said coldly to Han Qing, “No matter what you intend to do, Han Qing, I only have one piece of advice for you—don’t ruin yourself!”

Having said this, Han Shaojing walked away. Han Qing looked at the departing figure, a stunned look on her face. After a long while, she pulled on a bitter smile.

Cousin, you told me not to ruin myself. Unbeknownst to you, my life was ruined the moment I was born!

So, is there any difference in being ruined one more time?

With a deep breath, she unlocked and answered the call in a calm voice—”Hello, Baobao, it’s me.”

…

On Nanxi’s side, she was preoccupied with concern for Yang Su and was unable to concentrate on work. At the same time, she was pondering how to get Yang Su to meet with Chang Linsheng.

Just before finishing work, Nanxi got a call from Lu Yinchu, who was organising a small gathering that evening.

The main purpose was to welcome Mr. Shen from C City and have a meal together!noveldrama

Nanxi’s eyes flickered, and she asked Lu Yinchu, “Will Mr. Chang be there?”

Lu Yinchu frowned, “What about? Your friend…?”

“She just returned to H City. Lu Yinchu, no matter what, you must bring Mr. Chang tonight. Absolutely…wait, I need to call Susu right away to let her know!”

Lu Yinchu: “…”

…

Nanxi got off work 20 minutes early and looked for Lu Yinchu’s car.

Because she was so familiar with the black Land Rover, and what Lu Yinchu was driving today was a white Phantom, so it took her a long time to find his car!

On the road, Nanxi asked Lu Yinchu if he had managed to secure Chang Linsheng.

Lu Yinchu nodded, “Of course!”

“Does Mr. Chang know that Susu will be there tonight?”

There was a flicker in Lu Yinchu’s eyes, “I haven’t mentioned it yet!”

Nanxi furrowed her brows, “In that case, it’s probably best if you don’t tell him. What if he backs out after hearing about it?”

“Don’t worry, that won’t happen!” Lu Yinchu assured her.

“How do you know? That’s not a certainty! There are plenty of men who hurt girls and walk away without a backward glance, even more so, those who are scared of being swarmed by girls and would avoid them.”

“…” Lu Yinchu gave a dry cough and kept silent.

Because he felt that Nanxi had a point!

“Lu Yinchu, I’ve already promised Susu. You have to bring Mr. Chang no matter what. Don’t make me break my promise!”

Nanxi felt guilty towards Yang Su. She felt that she was inadvertently causing harm while meaning well. Li Weihuan and now Yang Su, she was beginning to hate herself!

“Relax, I won’t let you break your promise!” With that, he reached out and rubbed Nanxi’s hair, tenderness filling his eyes.

When he tried to retract his gaze, something flashed across his eyes, and he brushed away the hair over her chest, “What happened to your neck?”

“Oh…” Nanxi stuck out her tongue, “I accidentally got hurt! It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore!”

“How did you get hurt out of the blue?”

“It happened like this…” Nanxi relayed what had happened between her and Han Baobao at the Yueting Group.

It was not to complain but because she knew there was no point in concealing as Lu Yinchu would always find out the truth with his own methods.

Nanxi said, “Lu Yinchu, in fact, Han Baobao’s nature is not all that bad. She might just have a bit of a spoiled princess temper, a bit proud, a bit more jealous. I’ve gotten used to it. Anyway, our paths may not cross very often, so there’s no need to blame her. Otherwise, it would make her hate me more, dislike me even more. I don’t like that. After all, we lived under the same roof for two years. Even if we can’t become friends, I don’t want to become enemies.”

Lu Yinchu took a deep breath, “Alright, I won’t pursue it further. But you must promise me you’ll go to the hospital for a check-up. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easy.”

Nanxi waved it off, “There’s no need for all that fuss, it’s really nothing. It’s just a scratch from a fingernail, a minor skin wound. My senior has already disinfected it for me at noon. It’s not a big deal, really!”

“Noon?”

Lu Yinchu frowned, “At the restaurant?”

“Yeah!”

Nanxi was stunned, “How did you know?”

How could he know?

Because someone wanted him to!

From the moment he saw Nanxi, he knew there was something going on.

He shouldn’t have gotten angry, but he ended up doing so anyway.

Because Nanxi was gazing intently and so closely at another man, when all it was, was a misunderstanding!

He was really overwhelmed, to be so disturbed over this throughout the afternoon!

He should have trusted Nanxi. Her love for him and his love for her should have been the same!

Masking his emotions, he smiled faintly and uttered four words, “hearts in unison.”
