Chapter 136: Her Past
She thought—
If it were Shen Zhiyao walking barefoot on the floor right now, Rong Huaishen would have probably already bent down himself and put slippers on for her!
What on earth was so good about that woman Shen Zhiyao, that she could make Rong Huaishen linger on her thoughts incessantly? He could even tolerate her cuckolding him!?
He t Shen Zhiyao in Licheng that year; she was also in Licheng. Why hadn’t she t him?
Perhaps so fates are truly predestined.
No matter how many years Rong Huaishen and Shen Zhiyao went their separate ways, they were bound to end up together.
“Licheng…” Thinking of that city, ng Fan’s mind was filled with confusion. What did she do in Licheng that year? Why could she never quite rember clearly…
ng Fan didn’t leave the house that morning.
After lunch, ng Fan learned that Rong Huaishen had booked a flight to Harbor City for two o’clock in the afternoon.
“Hmph, dog of a man! Pretending to be as calm as Mount Tai on the surface, but within half a day he’s scampering off to Harbor City,” ng Fan cursed, then quickly picked up her phone and booked a flight to Harbor City.
ng Fan didn’t tell Wen Zhi her flight information.
When she arrived at Harbor City International Airport at five-thirty and was leaving the airport, ng Fan sent a ssage to Wen Zhi:
[I’m in Harbor City!]
anwhile, Wen Zhi was leaving a hotel with Shang Hexing.
Shang Hexing had booked a restaurant for that evening, and Wen Zhi had specifically worn a new dress and dolled herself up for it.
When Wen Zhi went out with Shang Hexing, she thought he wouldn’t notice that she’d made an extra effort, but as soon as he saw her, he complinted, “Very pretty.”
Wen Zhi’s eyes curved in a smile, “The dress?”
“You.”
After speaking, Shang Hexing felt his phone vibrate slightly in his pocket. He took it out, glanced at it, and then furrowed his brow.
Wen Zhi: “Did sothing happen? If it’s important, you go ahead and deal with it, and I’ll have dinner at the hotel.”
Shang Hexing handed her the phone: “See for yourself.”
Ah?
Wen Zhi took the phone with a puzzled look.
She had returned her phone to Shang Hexing after he ca back today, not contacting anyone afterward.
Now that Shang Hexing had given her the phone, the only person Wen Zhi could think of was ng Fan. It must’ve been ng Fan who sent a ssage to this phone.
It turned out she guessed right!
It really was ng Fan.
Shang Hexing said displeased, “Give her a call back.”
“…Oh.”
At first, Wen Zhi didn’t understand why Shang Hexing looked unhappy after seeing ng Fan’s ssage, but after getting on the phone with ng Fan, she understood.
After about ten minutes.
Wen Zhi and ng Fan were sitting in the sa car, though ng Fan was in the passenger seat, while Wen Zhi and Shang Hexing were in the back, with Chen Jinhai driving.
“Zhizhi, are you surprised to see ?”
“Let
tell you, I deliberately didn’t tell you in advance that I was coming to Harbor City just to surprise you.”
“I bet you didn’t expect
to show up suddenly, haha.”
ng Fan chattered non-stop from the mont she got in the car.
Wen Zhi kept chatting with ng Fan, but Shang Hexing remained silent the whole ti, not even showing a pleasant face.
However, at that mont, Shang Hexing suddenly interjected, only his tone was cold and indifferent, “I didn’t expect it.”
The smile on ng Fan’s lips suddenly faded. She glanced at Shang Hexing’s dark expression and spoke with a nervous tone, “Uncle, actually, I ca here with a purpose. You don’t have to worry that I’ll monopolize Wen Zhi all the ti.”
Wen Zhi suddenly coughed lightly, “Cough! ng Fan!”
ng Fan sulked, but seeing her uncle’s expression lighten slightly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned her head and looked at the rearview mirror, changing the subject with a smile, “Zhizhi, did you have fun with your cousin in Harbor City?”
Wen Zhi stole a glance at Shang Hexing beside her and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed. She lowered her voice to respond, “It was okay.”
ng Fan kept asking, “What did you guys go out and do?”
Wen Zhi really wanted to tell ng Fan to stop asking, to ask her in private and she would tell her everything, but with Shang Hexing right beside her, she really felt uneasy.
“Didn’t your cousin take you out to have fun?” ng Fan’s voice rose a few decibels.
Wen Zhi: ( ̄▽ ̄)”
The driver, Chen Jinhai, was trying hard not to laugh.
Shang Hexing opened his eyes, his expression as calm as water, and without any ripples in his gaze, he reminded, “ng Fan, you’re talking too much.”
ng Fan stretched her neck, “Oh, co on, cousin, I’m just curious.”
Shang Hexing: “Being too curious isn’t always a good thing.”
ng Fan: “…”
Forget it, better to keep this mouth closed for now. Cousin was already unhappy that she ca to Harbor City and disturbed his ti with Wen Zhi. It was better to make herself less noticeable.
They arrived at the reserved restaurant.
The dinner was quite lively that night, mainly because ng Fan was talkative, Chen Jinhai was good at responding, Wen Zhi was happy by the side, and Shang Hexing still maintained the image of an elder, almost not joining in on non-essential topics, but always paying attention to Wen Zhi’s actions.
Of course, Wen Zhi could feel the special way Shang Hexing treated her.
Because it was very obvious.
It was so obvious that even ng Fan couldn’t take it anymore and teased, “Cousin, are you taking care of Zhizhi as a senior family mber, or in so other capacity?”
ng Fan swore that she was only making a joke.
But she didn’t realize that her remark hit right on the sensitive spot!
Shang Hexing was displeased because of the issue of status that prevented him from getting what he wanted, and ng Fan had unwittingly struck right on the nerve. His expression turned sour as he asked in a grave tone, “Did you have a fight with Huaishen?”
This ti it was ng Fan’s turn for her expression to freeze suddenly.
Shang Hexing’s words sharpened with each sentence: “If I’m not mistaken, Huaishen must have co to Harbor City, but he went to see another woman. ng Fan, aren’t you worried about your marriage? Don’t you want to try to maintain it?”
ng Fan: “…”
Seeing ng Fan’s expression, Shang Hexing was satisfied and curved his lips into a smile.
Wen Zhi tugged at the sleeve of Shang Hexing’s arm, “Stop it.”
Shang Hexing casually replied, “She’s too sensitive.”
Wen Zhi: “…”
ng Fan laughed angrily, asking with a sullen face, “Cousin, are you making fun of ?”
Shang Hexing looked at ng Fan, “Don’t you have your own position? With the Han Family backing you up and the Shang Family as your support, if you need to catch a cheater, just do it. Why dean yourself.”
“Then I want Zhizhi to go with ,” declared ng Fan on the spot.
Wen Zhi imdiately agreed, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Shang Hexing turned his head to look at Wen Zhi, “You’re going to join in the excitent?”
What kind of thing is that to say? ng Fan’s issues are serious; you can’t label it as joining in for excitent.
Wen Zhi was about to object when ng Fan from across the table said, “Never mind, I’ll go by myself. I want to know what exactly is the relationship between Shen Zhiyao and that man, because he looks familiar to .”
Wen Zhi was stunned for a mont, “Ah? Which man?”
ng Fan had been keeping this to herself and hadn’t ntioned a word to Wen Zhi.
It was the man Shen Zhiyao was arm in arm with in the photo. When ng Fan saw the photo, she was puzzled.
Because the man Shen Zhiyao was with seed familiar, as if she had seen him sowhere before, but she just couldn’t rember.
ng Fan raised her hand to press on her temple, “So strange, I feel like I have a terrible mory, like I’ve almost forgotten many things from the year I visited Licheng.”
As she finished speaking.
Wen Zhi’s expression suddenly tightened.
