Chapter 159: Chapter 118: The Water That Brings Disaster to the Nation
Wei Lan forced a smile and nodded; such scenarios happened often.
Wei Lan pretended not to care on the surface, but she really wanted to know who was on the other end of the phone that always made Jing Zan leave her imdiately.
This familiar situation made her worried. With so many friends around, and it being her birthday, the cake not even eaten yet, would he have to leave again?
Just as she was worrying, the girl who had just urged her to have children leaned in and said, “Lanlan, aren’t you and the senior moving too fast? You got married without even making a sound!”
Wei Lan laughed dryly, now thinking back, she felt that she had indeed married too hastily, should have listened to Sister Niannian’s advice to get to know each other better before marriage.
Now, she discovered that senior’s heart didn’t seem to be with her at all, wondering if she was just being too sensitive and overthinking.
The classmate opened her mouth as if wanting to say sothing more when Jing Zan returned to his seat, not sitting down but taking his coat, looking ready to leave, and saying with a bowed head to Wei Lan, “Sothing ca up suddenly, I must go now, happy birthday.”
Wei Lan felt a sourness in her heart, wanting to cry yet having to smile for him, nodding and saying, “Okay, go deal with it, I’ll walk you out.”
Jing Zan ruffled her hair and said, “No need.” Then, smiling, he said to everyone, “Sorry, I have sothing to handle, so I have to leave first, thank you all for celebrating my Lanlan’s birthday.”
Everyone responded with a smile, watching him leave.
As he walked out, Jin Qiu said, “Lanlan, what kind of husband did you pick? What work matters are more important than his own wife? Plus, it’s your birthday! He should have cleared up his schedule in advance!”
Wei Lan’s smile looked uglier than crying, if no one were around, tears would probably flow freely; she still forced a smile and spoke up for Jing Zan, “His company is just starting up, things are busy…”
Jin Qiu turned to Tang Ge and said, “Humph, Tang Ge, if you were like him, I would have divorced you long ago!”
Tang Ge affectionately wrapped his arms around her, remaining silent as Jin Qiu pouted, “You also ca back late, getting bullied by that stinky policeman!”
Jin Qiu had been harping on this the whole night, cursing that policeman’s ancestors eighteen generations back.
Su Nian wiped Su Zhen’s hands, then looking at Wei Lan asked, “Lanlan, do you really know him?”
Wei Lan shook her head honestly, “Sister Niannian, you know everything about and him.”
It was an impulsive flash marriage, he proposed, but now she was the only one in love.
The female classmate hesitated before speaking, “Lanlan, I think it’s better to tell you this.”
All eyes turned to the classmate, who said, “I’m just sharing what I know, not trying to stir things up, but I saw senior with Zhang Xi Hua together not long ago! I never expected that soon after, senior would marry you, you knew about senior dating Xi Hua, right?”
Wei Lan nodded, “He told when we were getting married that they had already broken up, that’s why I agreed.”
Su Nian said, “Lanlan, you still need to be more cautious, don’t be foolishly misled by him, you are his wife, you should ask things that need to be asked. If he doesn’t even give you this right, it’s better to end things now while it’s still not too late, what kind of man doesn’t even spend his wife’s birthday with her?”
Even in the past, when she and Shen Hanxiu just got married and weren’t that familiar, he would still bring her a cake when he ca ho late from work!
Wei Lan wasn’t sure what to do, feeling ek in front of senior, unable to suddenly turn fierce and confront whoever was calling him daily.
Her long-ti wish had been simply to be with senior, just seeing him every day was enough; now that fate had tied their nas together, it already felt like divine favor, how could she dare ask for more…
“Lanlan, don’t be scared! Your sisters are here! Don’t be timid! If it cos down to it, just fight, if you lose, just a call and I’ll co help you!” Jin Qiu said boldly.
Tang Ge gave her a look, and she imdiately clung to Tang Ge’s arm, coy like a little cat.
Wei Lan was amused by them, “It’s not that serious, senior wouldn’t hit anyone, and maybe he really was busy; he rushed back just for my birthday today, the company must have a lot of things waiting for him.”
Jin Qiu reminded her, “Young lady, don’t think too highly of people, be more cautious. n, who might look upright but behind the scenes could be [sneaky] [philandering]! Right, Tang Ge?”
Tang Ge picked up his cup of tea, took a sip, and jokingly replied, “…I wouldn’t dare, afraid of getting beaten.”
“Mom, Uncle Shen says he’s coming to pick us up.” Su Zhen suddenly spoke up, still holding her phone.
Su Nian thought she was playing gas, only then realizing she had been ssaging that man.
Hearing Su Zhen’s words, the girl classmates’ eyes glead, “Third Young Master Shen? I must take a photo later!”
“I want one too, just standing far away, even a shadow with Third Young Master would be great! Help take one later, okay?”
“Then who will take one for ?”
The several girls were quite easy-going, joining Wei Lan in calling out to Su Nian, “Hey, Sister Niannian! Can you get us so life pictures of Third Young Master? Like him sleeping? Eating? Or even when working is fine! They would sell for a good price!”
Su Nian: “…”
Why hadn’t she thought of this path to wealth before? Just buy a cara, sneak so photos while he’s asleep and stripped—bam, she’d be on the rich list the next day…
Right as Su Nian was shalessly fantasizing, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Su Nian didn’t notice until she saw the girls opposite her blushing and their gazes fixated on the doorway, suppressing a “wow” aloud.
Turning her head, she saw the man who “outshone all others” walk in, still in formal wear, exuding a mature man’s charm, with a handso and refined face that indeed deserved a scream.
Su Nian suddenly recalled the vulgar scenario in her mind just now, and her face couldn’t help but flush red.
Su Zhen had slipped off her stool and ran over: “Uncle Shen, you’re here so soon?”
Shen Hanxiu bent down to pick up the rushing Su Zhen, his gaze not sweeping over anyone else in the room but fixated on Su Nian: “Have you eaten?”
Su Nian averted her gaze, picked up her chopsticks that she had just put down, and pretended to grab so food while saying: “Not yet.”
“Then keep eating,” he said, as he sat down next to Su Nian while holding Su Zhen.
Su Zhen, paying no attention to her mother’s expression, was all focused on her Uncle Shen: “Uncle, have you eaten? This cream egg is super delicious!”
“Uncle has eaten already, you enjoy it.”
The other people at the table all set their eyes on this attractive family, looking warm and enviable to everyone else!
It’s enough that the mom is beautiful, and the dad is not only handso but also rich and powerful, not to ntion having both a son and a daughter, and the kids having inherited strong genes! When they grow up, they’re definitely going to be “a disaster for the country and the people”!
Failing to withstand the naked gaze of everyone at the table, Su Nian soon put down her chopsticks, using the excuse that Su Zhen had to get up early for a photo shoot tomorrow, and said her goodbyes.
Su Zhen insisted on eating cake before leaving, so they cut the cake early, and even packed so when they left. After eating and drinking her fill, Su Nian left with Little Treasure following Shen Hanxiu.
Only then did everyone in the room snap back to reality.
“Emma! I forgot to take photos!”
Su Nian followed Shen Hanxiu into the elevator, giving him a cold shoulder from start to finish.
As Su Zhen was close to him, Su Nian held Su Zhen in her arms. With her little hands covered in cream from the box, Su Zhen was too focused on eating the cake to care about Shen Hanxiu.
Su Nian had driven here, and now she walked straight to the small white Audi.
Shen Hanxiu purposely parked close, and soon drove his car up to block Su Nian’s path, rolling down the window, he said, “Don’t drive after drinking.”
“I didn’t drink,” Su Nian glared at him, pulling the two children, ready to walk around.
Su Zhen, busy with her food, finally caught Shen Hanxiu’s cue and imdiately slid down from Su Nian’s hold: “Mom, let’s ride in Uncle’s car.”
Su Nian glared at her, the child’s elbow always turned outward!
Su Zhen seriously analyzed: “Mom, you’re uncomfortable driving, I’m full, I’ll throw up sitting inside, Uncle’s car doesn’t shake at all.”
By then, Shen Hanxiu had already gotten out of his car and opened the door, first carrying Su Zhen inside. Inside, she waved at Su Nian: “Co on up!”
After settling Su Zhen, Shen Hanxiu then went to take Su Bao, who dodged his hand, turned to look at Su Nian as if seeking approval from his mom, and reading from her face that she didn’t want to ride in his car, he said: “Mom, I’ll ride in your car, let Su Zhen go with him alone.”
Hearing that her brother and mom were about to abandon her, Su Zhen started pretending to cry: “Wuwu~ Mom, you don’t love Zhenzhen anymore!”
Naturally, Su Nian couldn’t bear to leave Su Zhen alone with Shen Hanxiu, eventually compromising, but still didn’t give Shen Hanxiu a good face the whole way, not even looking at him directly.
When Su Bao got on the car, Shen Hanxiu sohow saw a threatening aning in his little eyes, always feeling this child spoke little but was definitely cunning, not knowing what he was plotting now.
As the car drove out of the hotel’s parking lot, he realized the direction he was heading was not the way ho…
Back in the private room, the lunch was still going on, Ziyan got up to go to the restroom.
On her way back, walking with her head down, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, a cold male voice from above: “What are you doing here?”
Ziyan never expected to et him here, she looked up, and there was the woman he had taken to the hospital last ti, standing by his side, a provocative smile on her lips.
Ziyan took a step back to distance herself before replying, “Friends gathering.”
“n or won?” Tang Shaosheng pressed on.
Without thinking, Ziyan gestured: “Both.”
