Chapter 289 It’s Time to Settle the Account
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning glanced at Xie Yanchuan. Seeing that he seemed to shake his head helplessly, she raised the corners of her lips again and responded, "Okay, auntie, we will definitely notify you first when the time comes."
"That's good, that's good!"
"With your words, Ningning, I feel relieved!"
On the other end of the phone, Fang's mother happily agreed.
After the call was hung up, Xie Yanchuan really disagreed: "Ningning, you don't have to do this..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Wanning.
"Shhh."
Jiang Wanning's index finger gently touched Xie Yanchuan's lips, and the expression was fleeting: "Why can't it be like this?"
She brushed her hair again and leaned back on the passenger seat. Her beautiful, upturned brows glanced at Xie Yanchuan, "Aren't you going to marry me, Yanchuan?"
Xie Yanchuan, who was standing beside her, suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Wanning almost the moment she finished speaking.
The suddenness of the movement scared Jiang Wanning.
She looked at the man with some lingering fear and couldn't help thinking, with Xie Yanchuan's insight, he should be able to hear that she was joking just now, right?
Why is there such a big reaction?
Just as she was thinking about it, she finally heard the man in front of her speak again, his tone more serious than ever before: "I can swear that I have never had such thoughts for even a moment, Ningning."
"Marrying you as my wife, loving you, and protecting you is my lifelong pursuit."
"For you, I can give up everything I have..."
Even if it costs his life, he would not hesitate.
However, Xie Yanchuan didn't say the following words because he was afraid of scaring Jiang Wanning.
But under the scattered moonlight in the empty parking lot, his heart felt like it was beating like a drum.
Xie Yanchuan never believed in ghosts and gods, but if there really were gods in this world, he would definitely do what he asked and protect Jiang Wanning to be healthy, safe and prosperous forever. For this, he was willing to offer everything he had to the gods without hesitation.
Those who were originally joking were shocked by Xie Yanchuan's serious statement.
Perhaps Jiang Wanning never thought that Xie Yanchuan would respond to her unintentional words in this way.
To say I'm not surprised would be a lie.
Jiang Wanning's pupils trembled slightly under the dim light of the warm ceiling light in the car.
"I understand."
Finally she came to her senses and turned her head back hurriedly like a cat whose tail was touched.
"Didn't you just say that after the Chen family's banquet was over, you had something to do back at the Xie family?"
"It's getting late now, let's go back quickly."
Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyelashes at this time, and was surprised to see that Jiang Wanning's earlobes had turned red from her neck because she was too flustered. This made him feel rarely happy and he withdrew his gaze.
But when Jiang Wanning mentioned the serious business, he restarted the car, and his eyes, looking into the distance, became dim again.
"Um."
Xie Yanchuan responded for a moment, but his tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "Something has been delayed for too long, and it's really time to put it to a complete end."
The black-painted Maybach, like an elf in the night, quickly shuttled through the streets of Beijing.
The bright moon, which was just now bright and clear, suddenly hid behind the dark clouds in the sky.
It seems like things are about to change.
......
At the same time, at the Xie family's villa.
When Xie Kaiwen pushed open the door, beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his temples because of his hurried journey.
The middle-aged man gasped violently for a moment and glared at the woman in the living room in front of him who was holding her son on the sofa and reading a picture book.
It was Liu Zhiyi who had just returned from her mother's home with Xie Jinheng not long ago.
"Zhiyi, didn't I call you in advance and ask you to pack your things as soon as possible? What are you still doing here?"
Xie Kaiwen's tone was urgent, and he looked as if he had just escaped from a life-and-death chase.
But Liu Zhiyi in front of him seemed to be fine.
At the top of the living room, the warm yellow crystal chandelier flashed brilliant light on her and her son, making her features look even more gentle and her life peaceful, which was in stark contrast to Xie Kaiwen's life-and-death escape.
Seeing this, Xie Kaiwen was furious. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and snatched the children's picture book from her hand, throwing it to the ground: "Stop reading! Don't you understand what I'm saying? What time is it now?"
The child on the woman's side was obviously frightened by the noise and instantly burst into heart-wrenching tears.
This also made Xie Kaiwen very angry.
Perhaps he actually disliked his youngest son very much.
Mu Mu Nana is extremely timid. Even if he had a little bit of Xie Yanchuan's courage, Mr. Xie would not stare at the latter and refuse to let go, and he would not have reached the point he is in now.
On the other hand, the woman who had been living a peaceful life finally exploded at this moment as if she could no longer bear it.
She suddenly stood up from the sofa and stared at Xie Kaiwen with hatred. The anger in her eyes was even greater than that of Xie Kaiwen in front of her: "Leave? Xie Kaiwen, where do you want me to go!?"
"Don't be so angry, Zhiyi. The situation is urgent now. I am doing this for your and Jinheng's own good."
"I just got the news that those people are coming here soon. You should take our son abroad to avoid the limelight first. Once I have dealt with things here, I will bring you back as soon as possible to enjoy a peaceful life. Okay?"
"I promise you, by then, you will be the legitimate first lady of the Xie family..."
Before Xie Kaiwen could finish his words, Liu Zhiyi ruthlessly shook off his hand and interrupted him.
The man's voice stopped abruptly.
At the same time, he was somewhat incredulous to see that the woman who had once let him do whatever he wanted was now staring at him with uncontrollable anger.
"Xie Kaiwen, how long are you going to lie to me?"
Probably just recently, Liu Zhiyi had just returned from her mother's house with her son when she received a call from Xie Kaiwen.
The other side said that he had accidentally offended someone he shouldn't have offended while doing business, and for the sake of them, he asked her to take her son abroad to hide for a while before coming back.
Although Liu Zhiyi felt strange at first, he still believed what Xie Kaiwen said.
Just as she was about to start packing her luggage, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
The other party spoke concisely and in just two sentences, he summarized what had happened in the Xie family banquet hall a few days ago.
The more Liu Zhiyi listened, the more frightened she became, which led to the scene just now.
"Don't think I don't know. Are you afraid of offending Xie Yanchuan, so you push me and my son out here to be scapegoats?"
