Chapter 4 A strange sense of familiarity
The phone was picked up quickly, and Su Yimo's noisy voice came.
"Hey! My great star Sang, how's the battle going? Did you catch that iceberg from Lu Tingzhou?"
Listening to her best friend's light-hearted teasing, Sang Wan's tense nerves relaxed a little, but her voice was full of fatigue and hoarseness.
"Don't mention it. It was a bad start. Not only did I not catch any fish, but I also got really angry."
"What's wrong?"
Su Mo immediately noticed that she was in a bad mood.
Sang Wan closed her eyes and briefly recounted the story of her grandfather's disappearance and the big fight she had with Xu Shiming when she returned home.
"He's not your father at all. He has a deep grudge against you. He's addicted to being someone else's stepfather and is even deliberately trying to sell his own daughter."
Su Mo was so angry that he started cursing on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry, Wanwan. Grandpa is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him. Xu Shiming definitely doesn't dare to do anything to the old man. He just wants to control you."
"I know." Sang Wan's voice was a little muffled, "I just can't swallow this."
"What are you going to do?"
Su Mo was vaguely worried about Sang Wan and felt even more sorry for her situation.
"A man like Lu Tingzhou has seen all kinds of women, but there's not even a female animal around him. Maybe he's not normal. How about...you change your target?"
"Who to change?" Sang Wan asked weakly.
"I think my boss is quite interested in you." Su Mo suggested, "He specifically asked you to be his spokesperson, and he even lets you name any price for the endorsement fee."
"Although the Shen family isn't as wealthy as the Lu family, they're still a well-to-do family. And Shen Yubai is much easier to get along with than Lu Tingzhou. He's better than those old perverts like Mr. Wang and Mr. Li that your wicked father forced upon you, right?"
"Chen Yubai?"
His handsome face with a hint of playfulness appeared in Sang Wan's mind.
"That's the Sea King. Haven't you heard of his great achievements?"
Su Mo works in the president's office of Shen Yubai's company. In the celebrity circle of Shenzhen, there is no gossip that those women don't know about, right?
Not to mention that he is their boss.
"At least the woman who broke up with him didn't slander him afterwards. It's said that he gave her a generous breakup fee. Anyway, you just want to take advantage of the situation to get out of your current situation. Chen Yubai is not a bad person."
Sang Wan curved her lips, "Lu Tingzhou is my first choice. Not only can he solve my current situation and save the Sang family, but he can also piss off that mother and daughter. And..."
Moreover, she felt familiar with him the first time she saw him. His looks and temperament were everything she liked.
The key is that he can also use his strength to investigate the company's affairs.
What happened back then that made my grandfather so angry that he collapsed?
In Sang Wan's impression, grandpa has always been a person who does not get angry easily.
Before she died, my mother seemed to have been checking the company's accounts.
Of course, Sang Wan didn't tell Su Mo about these thoughts, for fear that she would worry.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she said excitedly: "If you can really take down Lu Tingzhou, that little bitch Xu Mingyue will have to call you auntie when she sees you, and you and her mother will be - in-laws."
"Fuck, this relationship is so exciting!"
Sang Wan listened to Su Mo's excited voice and curled up the corners of her mouth slightly.
After a moment, she said thoughtfully, "Momo, you may not believe this... but I always feel that I have an indescribable sense of familiarity with Lu Tingzhou."
"A sense of familiarity?"
Su Mo's voice rose. "Have you seen him before? Or maybe you caught a glimpse of him in a magazine and you couldn't forget him?"
"We just met briefly at the airport, and I thought he was so handsome at the time. Other than that..."
Sang Wan frowned, trying to recall, "I probably haven't seen him before, but it's just a very strange feeling. The way he looked at me, for a moment, made me feel that... he was..."
Especially in the break room, the look in Lu Tingzhou's eyes when he looked at her was restrained and complicated.
Now that Sang Wan thinks about it, it’s not quite normal.
"Oh my!" Su Mo immediately smelled the scent of gossip and began to tease her, "Sang Wan, you didn't fall in love with him at first sight and think he treats you differently, right?"
"How is that possible!" Sang Wan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She immediately denied it. "What are you thinking? I'm only interested in him because I think he's of the right status and can help me solve my current predicament."
She paused, her voice filled with a hint of confusion and certainty that she herself hadn't noticed.
"I've lived for twenty-five years and never felt moved. So I probably won't feel moved in this lifetime."
Su Mo snorted on the other end of the phone: "Don't talk too early."
She knew that Sang Wan had a boyfriend before, and said that she would introduce him to her when the opportunity arose.
If something hadn't happened later, we should have been able to see it.
Sang Wan didn't mention it over the years, and she didn't ask. Exposing a sister's scars is no different from stabbing her in the back.
Sang Wan was silent for a few seconds, then regained some of his fighting spirit. "Momo, help me find out more about Lu Tingzhou's activities. The more detailed the better."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Wan threw the phone aside and looked up at the ceiling.
The apartment was completely silent, with only the occasional sound of traffic outside the window.
Lu Tingzhou's cold and noble face and his deep eyes involuntarily appeared in front of her eyes.
Strangely familiar...
Unconsciously, he frowned slightly.
love at first sight?
How is that possible?
But we must hold on to Lu Tingzhou's tree, otherwise there will be no solution to the current predicament.
But I have no experience in how to fish for ice cubes, and no one teaches me.
Sang Wan shook her head, and a feeling of fatigue gradually surged up and enveloped her invisibly.
My thoughts gradually became blurred and I fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.
It was that dream again.
Lengthy and repetitive.
This time, it seems clearer than ever.
In the dazzling halo of light, a tall figure came against the light. The light was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. She could only vaguely make out the tall outline of the man.
He stretched out his hand, his fingertips were slightly cool, and gently held her face.
Her voice was gentle and filled with deep doting: "Wanwan, if you can't find me in the future, don't run around. Just stand in the most dazzling place."
"That way, I can see you at a glance."
His face was blurred in the light, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see it clearly.
Only those deep eyes were clear, so clear that I could see myself in his eyes.
When those eyes looked at her, they were doting and focused, and had the power to make her feel at ease.
Just as she tried hard to see the person in front of her again, the scene suddenly changed.
At the familiar school gate, the leaves of the sycamore trees gleamed in the sunlight, the light filtering through the gaps between them, casting a dappled glow.
Her mother stood not far away, waving at her with a smile. The sunlight shone between her gentle eyebrows and eyes, and the years were quiet and good.
"Wanwan, mom is here!"
She ran happily towards where her mother was.
There is warm wind in my ears and the quiet chirping of cicadas.
“Bang!”
A loud noise tore through the afternoon tranquility.
The out-of-control black SUV crashed into the mother like a wild horse!
Blood instantly spread out from under the mother's body, staining her white dress red, and also staining Sang Wan's entire world red.
The glaring red, like a red-hot iron, burned deep into her memory.
"mom--!"
Sang Wan suddenly woke up from his dream, with fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead and his chest heaving violently, as if he was still trapped in boundless despair.
Outside the window, the night is thick.
She gasped, and it took her a long time to recover from the aftermath of the nightmare.
I have been sleeping well recently. I haven’t had insomnia for a while and I haven’t dreamed of this scene again.
Sang Wan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, and poured himself a glass of red wine.
Then, he walked to the balcony with the wine glass in hand, gently shaking the glass between his fingertips. The cool night breeze blew away some of the heat.
At one o'clock in the morning, the noise had died down.
Instead, there was the hazy moonlight and the neon lights of the city.
There were a few lights on sporadically on the building opposite.
Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a man leaning on the railing on the opposite balcony smoking, the scarlet fire flickering in the dark night.
The light was too dim to see his face clearly.
But she could clearly feel that gaze was falling on her.
If there is substance, with a hint of exploration.
Sang Wan instantly became alert.
She is a public figure, and her every move may be magnified infinitely.
If paparazzi caught him drinking alone late at night, I wonder what kind of news they would make up.
She took a sip of wine calmly, then turned back to her room and neatly pulled the heavy curtains to block out the prying eyes.
---
The next afternoon, Sang Wan was frowning because she had to attend Wang Sheng's birthday party in the evening.
After all, she is a rising star. Just because she doesn't have 300 million now doesn't mean she won't have it in the future.
Xu Shiming asked her to marry a man like Wang Sheng for three hundred million yuan. He was so short-sighted.
But considering that he has always been good at calculating, how could he not know his own commercial value?
Sang Wan couldn't understand!
Just when I was worrying about it, Su Mo called.
She answered the phone weakly, "Momo!"
"There's someone you want to catch at the Western Suburbs Horse Farm."
The originally lazy man suddenly stood up, "Lu Tingzhou?"
"Who else did you hook?" Su Mo asked back.
Sang Wan pursed her lips and said quickly, "No, no, just this one."
She chatted with Su Mo for a few words, then immediately changed her clothes and put on makeup before going out, with a determined smile on her lips.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Sang Wan arrived at the Western Suburbs Racecourse on time.
She changed her clothes and came out, wearing a dashing white riding suit that perfectly showed off her slender waist and hips. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, which added a bit of heroic spirit.
But there was an obvious look of inquiry on that charming little face as soon as she entered the horse farm.
When he looked around, he saw Lu Tingzhou and Shen Yubai walking out of the stable side by side in the distance.
Lu Tingzhou changed into a black riding suit, showing off his typical broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and his good figure was clearly visible.
Sang Wan was stunned. The handsome man was more handsome than any male star she had worked with before.
The tough lines are coupled with a cold aura that keeps strangers away.
It can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.
Chen Yubai was talking to him excitedly, but Lu Tingzhou frowned slightly and even rolled his eyes at him lazily.
As the two people got closer, Sang Wan came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Shen, what a coincidence!”
Her voice was light and held just the right amount of surprise.
