Chapter 19: Heroes Compete in Shura Field

Until this moment, Shi Wang still thought that Jiang Wanning was angry with him.

But this time, the commotion is bigger than before.

But when she calms down, she will eventually come to me and make peace with me in a humble manner.

Jiang Wanning's eyes flashed, but she looked at him with great determination: "I won't regret it."

"good."

"I'm waiting for the day when you regret it."

Seeing that the big client that the law firm had arranged an appointment with was about to arrive, Shi Wang finally coldly took everyone away.

Jiang Wanning breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and before she turned around, she met Su Xu's extremely gossipy eyes.

"My dearest friend, are you hiding something from me?"

"What's going on?"

"Still playing dumb? Can't I tell my bestie? What's going on between you and Chairman Xie?"

Su Xu's eyes moved from Jiang Wanning to Xie Yanchuan behind her, and then from the latter back to Jiang Wanning.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan's strange look, she quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Last time at the hospital, I noticed something was wrong with you. Tell the truth now!"

"You think too much, it's not true."

"Xie Yanchuan only came to help me out today."

Jiang Wanning shook her head helplessly.

"I actually want to ask you, why did you come here with Xie Yanchuan?"

"I just happened to meet him when I was parking in the garage. He seemed to be here to take care of something, so we came over together."

As Su Xu was speaking, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.

She took it out and saw that the caller was Lin Xiao who had arrived late.

"Lin Xiao finally made it here! I just missed a big show!"

Su Xu answered the phone with a frustrated look on his face, and at the same time comforted Jiang Wanning: "Ningning, wait here for a while. I'll go meet this guy."

"good."

Jiang Wanning nodded, watching her best friend leave in a hurry. Just as she was about to thank Xie Yanchuan again, she didn't expect him to speak before her: "It's not just to help you out."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanning's heart trembled violently.

Xie Yanchuan heard what she said to Su Xu just now, and she didn't know how much he heard.

Jiang Wanning felt like she was caught gossiping behind someone's back, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look. "Um, Xie Yanchuan..."

"Don't take it too seriously. Su Xu is just like that. She speaks without thinking and doesn't think about it..."

"Yeah, I know."

But before she could finish her explanation, the man interrupted her: "But what if what I said just now was the truth?"

"Senior Jiang, I want to pursue you."

Inside the bar, the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement had long since dispersed, and the dance hall was already bustling with people again.

Jiang Wanning froze in place, unable to believe what she heard: "...What?"

Under the colorful lights, Xie Yanchuan's expression was dim and unclear.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a joke, Senior Jiang, don't be so serious."

Jiang Wanning heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. "Xie Yanchuan, you don't usually look like someone who would joke around."

You have to know that she had just decided to end a relationship and hadn't even completely extricated herself from it.

She was full of passion and sincerity for this relationship, but now she is badly hurt and has no way to quickly get into the next relationship.

If what Xie Yanchuan just said was true, she probably wouldn't be able to give him any positive feedback, and it would only add to his burden.

The smile on Xie Yanchuan's face did not reach his eyes and he quickly put it away.

"You just don't understand me."

At last, he paused again and said, "Senior Jiang, are we friends now?"

"Of course. You've helped me so much, we've been friends for a long time."

"Then I'll call you Ningning like Su Xu does from now on, okay? Calling you Senior Jiang all the time feels a bit strange."

For some reason, this name, which is so common and ordinary when called by others, seems particularly ambiguous when spoken by Xie Yanchuan.

Jiang Wanning's heartbeat started to get chaotic again, but she pretended to be calm: "Okay, then I won't call you Xie Yanchuan anymore. I'll just call you Yanchuan."

At an angle she didn't notice, Xie Yanchuan's pupils trembled violently, but quickly returned to normal.

It just so happened that Su Xu was returning with Lin Xiao not far away.

He spoke again: "Okay, I just happened to have some things to take care of, so I won't delay your party with your friends."

The two said goodbye to each other, and as soon as Xie Yanchuan left, Su Xu rushed to Jiang Wanning with Lin Xiao.

"Ningning, what about this kid? He made an appointment with us, but he was late! He almost made things difficult for you because of that scumbag Shi Wang. What's his punishment?!"

Lin Xiao was twisting his arm with Su Xu, and he was in great pain: "Two big sisters, I really know I'm wrong!"

"It's really not my fault. The traffic jam is just too severe!"

"You still dare to quibble!?"

"I was wrong. I was really wrong, big sisters. To show your sincerity, how about I cover all the expenses tonight?"

Only then did Su Xu let go of his hand contentedly.

After they arrived at the box, several friends they used to know came into the room one after another.

Jiang Wanning wasn't in a very good mood today.

Even though she had decided to let it go, she still felt an uncontrollable sourness in her heart when she saw Shi Wang and Xu Moli again.

Her friends also noticed her low mood, and after being noisy at the beginning, they calmed down and accompanied her to drink bottle after bottle of wine.

So in the end, Jiang Wanning was the only one in the entire box who was still barely awake.

“…”

She looked at the people lying all over the house, feeling both amused and helpless for a while, and finally she could only accept her fate and help them call for a car to go back one by one.

When it was finally Su Xu's turn, she was still howling as she leaned against Lin Xiao: "Ning Ning! I can still drink. Let's fight until dawn!"

It looked like she was so drunk that she was about to slip and fall to the ground.

Jiang Wanning was just about to lend a hand, but unexpectedly someone got there first.

"Let me do it." The man's strong and powerful wrist easily picked up Su Xu who was about to fall to the ground.

Jiang Wanning recognized the visitor at first sight. This was the "little milk dog" boyfriend that Su Xu mentioned.

Seeing the other person effortlessly carrying her best friend on his shoulders, Jiang Wanning couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement and pray that he would be safe tonight.

After finally finishing all this, she returned home in the wind and snow. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The fingers that were about to unlock the door slipped uncontrollably from the door handle.
