Chapter 25 Don't Look at Me Like That
Jiang Wanning had never seen Xie Yanchuan like this.
She was a little dazed for a moment, as if the other person's behavior was more like what he should do at his age.
The man before was really too dull.
But before she could say anything, Su Xu called her urgently.
In a hurry, she could only respond casually: "Yeah, you too, Merry Christmas Eve, Yanchuan."
"But as you can see, I have something to do tonight. When I get back, I will definitely treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanning hurried out of the elevator without waiting for Xie Yanchuan to speak again.
The man looked at her gradually receding figure, and his handsome brows sank again. He then got into another black car that had been waiting in front of the community gate for a long time.
......
When Jiang Wanning arrived at the hotel where she had arranged to stay with Su Xu and the others, the room was already bustling with activity.
To her surprise, she saw a familiar figure in the box.
Su Xu's ex-boyfriend, Chen Jingbai, was sitting cross-legged next to Su Xu with an unhappy look on his face.
If looks could kill, Lin Xiao, who was being stared at by him, would have been riddled with wounds long ago.
Lin Xiao was puzzled and scared. When he saw Jiang Wanning, he rushed over and hugged her thighs tightly as if he had seen a savior. "Wow, Sister Ning, this person Sister Su Xu brought is so scary!"
"Lin Xiao, go aside."
Seeing this, Su Xu also came forward and waved Lin Xiao's hand away: "Ningning, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Chen Jingbai. The house you are living in now was found by him through someone he asked to help."
"Hello, Sister Ning." Chen Jingbai's sullen face finally softened a little, but he was still very arrogant.
Jiang Wanning looked at the other person twice in surprise.
Others don't know, but she knows her best friend very well. She changes boyfriends faster than other people change clothes.
Now they have been dating for so long and they can get back together after breaking up. I think there must be something special about them.
But she didn't want to ask too much about other people's private affairs, so she just politely thanked him and kept her distance.
The warm atmosphere in the box reached its peak with her arrival.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Wanning felt a little dizzy and went out to go to the bathroom, but unexpectedly received an unfamiliar text message on her mobile phone.
[Sister Ning, I'm Xiao Liu. I just heard from the team leader that you're planning to resign. I'm really sorry about what happened before. If it's convenient for you, could you please meet with me? I'd like to apologize to you in person.]
Jiang Wanning thought about it carefully and remembered the regretful look on Xiao Liu's face when he pushed her into the water on the set that day.
She couldn't help but sigh, and after thinking for a moment, she typed the word "OK" on the keyboard.
The party here was coming to an end. After asking Xiao Liu about the time, Jiang Wanning said hello to Su Xu and the others and left the hotel first.
Fortunately, the place Xiao Liu had agreed to meet was not far away. Jiang Wanning walked to a club at the bridgehead in the east of the city in less than ten minutes.
It was almost dawn and still a little cold outside. Jiang Wanning gathered her clothes in front of her and happened to meet Xiao Liu's eager gaze: "Sister Ningning, this way!"
The girl stood at the door and beckoned her into the private room that had been reserved long ago: "Sister, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. I'll treat you tonight."
"No, I've already eaten quite a bit."
"The reason I came to see you..."
Because I am about to leave the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and I want you to feel less psychologically burdened before I leave.
Jiang Wanning never thought of blaming the girl for what happened before. After all, she was powerless and had no choice at the time.
But before she could finish speaking the words of comfort, they abruptly stopped.
Jiang Wanning looked at the door of the private room in disbelief. In the room that was supposed to be just the two of them, there suddenly appeared a figure that she was very familiar with.
It's Cui Hao! Why is he here?!
An extremely absurd guess came to Jiang Wanning's mind. She looked at Xiao Liu in great surprise, but was met with the latter's bitter smile and the tightly locked door.
"Don't look at me like that. I really don't want to do this."
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended."
Jiang Wanning's heart almost sank to the bottom when Xiao Liu's speculation of backstabbing was confirmed.
On the other side, Cui Hao licked his lips greasyly, staring at her with an extremely vicious look: "You bitch, weren't you so glorious before?"
"How dare you embarrass me like this? I wonder who can help you in this place today!"
Cui Hao had lost too much face in front of Jiang Wanning these days, and he had already been hating her.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his sticky palm, ready to teach Jiang Wanning a lesson.
But before he could actually touch the latter, his shrill screams echoed throughout the room in a split second.
"Keep your dirty hands away."
Jiang Wanning twisted his wrist with a cold face and was about to leave the private room when someone suddenly pulled her hair from behind.
Two burly men rushed in from outside the locked box.
Jiang Wanning felt a stinging pain on her scalp and fell to the ground uncontrollably. She was slapped twice in the face, making stars appear in her eyes.
Although she knew a little bit of fighting skills, her skills were far inferior to those of a professional bodyguard, and she was quickly subdued by him.
"You bastard! How dare you hurt me? Do you really think I don't have any tricks up my sleeve?!"
Cui Hao was extremely angry at that time, and he hit her with a torrential rain of fists and kicks without any mercy.
"You actually entered here today, don't even think about walking out in one piece!"
Jiang Wanning protected her head in pain. In between being hit, her fingertips touched the mobile phone in her pocket, wanting to call for help.
However, Cui Hao soon noticed it and the moment he snatched it away, the name "Shi Wang" popped up above the screen.
This was the emergency call that Shi Wang had set up for her. She could dial it by long pressing the volume button whenever she encountered danger.
Shi Wang, who had set up this phone call, had promised her solemnly that if she was in danger, no matter how difficult the situation was, he would appear by her side immediately.
But the phone call was ruthlessly hung up after ringing for just a few seconds.
Cui Hao's mocking voice came from above Jiang Wanning's head: "Oh, it seems that you have a close relationship with Shi Lu."
"But Shi Lu has a girlfriend like Jasmine, a famous star, and you don't even look in the mirror to see how you can compare to her."
