Chapter 379: Dinner at My Place
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shen Hanxing did not leave the place in silence. But it was strange that Jin Hai’s people didn’t show many reactions. Logically speaking, since she had caused such a huge commotion, there should have been security guards stopping her. Yet, in reality, there wasn’t a single person stopping her. She found it difficult to fathom Jin Hai’s position.
Shen Hanxing was thinking about something. Just as she was about to walk out of Jin Hai’s door, her gaze swept across the corner and suddenly paused. Her footsteps stopped, and so did Ji Qian’s. She looked around curiously and asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“The two of you get into the car first. I have something to take care of,” Shen Hanxing handed the car keys to Ji Qian and said calmly, “it’s a small matter. I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing Shen Hanxing’s cold expression, Ji Qian obediently did not ask any more questions. She took the car keys and said, “Please hurry up, sister-in-law. We’ll wait for you outside.” After saying this, she and Zhuang Yu went out and got into the car.
“Zhuang Yu, are you alright?” After getting into the car, Ji Qian tugged on Zhuang Yu’s sleeve. “My sister-in-law may have spoken harshly. Don’t take it to heart. She is just angry.” After leaving Jin Hai, Ji Qian’s face turned pale. Zhuang Yu looked as if she had lost her soul. No matter what, they had gone through the trouble together tonight. Ji Qian was a little worried about Zhuang Yu’s condition.
“No, Mrs. Ji is right. It’s just that I still haven’t understood the situation and haven’t adjusted my state of mind,” Zhuang Yu’s face was pale. The alcohol hurt her head, but her mind was clearer than ever. She knew that she was wrong. She thought that she had enough talent and hard work, so she could naturally inherit the Zhuang Corporation. However, she had overlooked the huge network of interests behind the Zhuang Corporation and the potential dangers within. She shouldn’t have been so careless.
Zhuang Yu seemed to have grown up a lot in that instant. She quickly calmed down but couldn’t help but look at Ji Qian. Her eyes filled with envy. No one would want to grow up. Everyone wanted to be protected by someone and live with no worries. Zhuang Yu wondered how blissful it would be if she had someone guarding her.
Zhuang Yu felt bad when facing Ji Qian’s worried gaze and seeing Ji Qian’s swollen face after being slapped by the man in the flowery shirt because of her. She sighed softly. Those men might have ruined her future if it was not for Ji Qian. Zhuang Yu shuddered at the thought of what might have happened if Ji Qian hadn’t appeared. She looked at Ji Qian sincerely. “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t dare to think about what would have happened to me…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Qian couldn’t help but blush at Zhuang Yu’s sincere thanks. The usually carefree Ji Qian subconsciously revealed a bright smile. But her injured lips hurt, and she gasped in pain. “Hiss… It’s fine. I just did what I should have done. There’s no need to thank me.”
The two looked at each other in the dim car and smiled. The lingering fear of surviving a disaster seemed to dissipate slowly amid their conversation.
On the other side, Shen Hanxing turned the corner and walked to the tea room that belonged to the staff rest area. She could hear a man’s reprimanding voice from inside. “What’s going on? You’re as dumb as a pig. Can’t you even do something so simple?”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…” A familiar female voice sobbed as she apologized, “Brother Zhao, I’m sorry. I’ll pay more attention to it in the future.”
“What’s the use of apologizing? You’re here to work, not to be a missy!” The man called Brother Zhao said arrogantly. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the slender girl in front of him with malicious intent. His tone suddenly became gentle. “Qiao Xi, don’t blame me for being too strict with you. That is the company’s system. I can’t just stand by and watch you make mistakes. Do you understand?”
“I know. I know you are doing this for my good, Brother Zhao,” The waitress, Qiao Xi’s face was pale. Her voice trembled. “It’s my fault. Brother Zhao, you should scold me. I will do well and not let you down in the future.”
“That’s more like it. Our company has its rules. It’ll be tough for me if you can’t perform well,” When Brother Zhao heard Qiao Xi’s words, he smiled in satisfaction. He held Qiao Xi’s hand. He rubbed it affectionately. “Look at how skinny you are. It makes my heart ache when I see you. Did you not eat properly? How about this? Don’t be in a hurry to leave after work tonight. How about you have dinner at my place?”
