Chapter 58 Luxury Cars
Xie Shiyan had informed her of his itinerary last night, and she felt only reluctance at the upcoming short separation, without a trace of suspicion.
As the car entered the city, Jiang Yining's initially relaxed heart began to race again with Xiao Xiao's speed and occasional slightly dangerous lane changes. She gripped the handrail above the car door tightly, her face pale.
"Xiaoxiao, your driving skills don't seem to be much better than mine." Several times they almost collided, and it was only thanks to the other drivers who realized it was a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions that they were scared and took the initiative to avoid it that the danger was averted.
Xiao Xiao remained calm and composed, patting the steering wheel smugly: "That's because they knew what was good for them. This car of mine is the same model as Nian An's. Do you know how I got it?"
She became interested and vividly recounted that past event: "There was a self-important male lawyer at Nian'an Law Firm. He was incredibly arrogant because his family had a little money, and he was some kind of rich kid. He liked Nian'an and pursued her for a while."
As it turned out, the woman at the front desk of their law firm took a liking to him, and the two of them started hooking up. Once at a car dealership, the two of them thought Nian An was just an ordinary junior lawyer who couldn't afford a nice car, so they started showing off in a sarcastic and insincere way, which Zhou Yanzhe happened to see.
Guess what? Zhou Yanzhe immediately flew into a rage, promptly ordering two Phantoms. One for my wife, and one for her best friend. He was instantly humiliated; you wouldn't believe the looks on their faces—they were as red as liver.
"What kind of rich second-generation are they? They're worth at most a million, and they still dare to show off. Not long after, those two couldn't stay at the law firm and slunk away!" Xiao Xiao said with great enthusiasm, as if she had returned to that moment of triumph.
Jiang Yining listened with great interest and laughed along, "So exciting? It's really satisfying to listen to."
“That’s right.” Xiao Xiao raised her chin. “Once you’ve mastered your driving skills, I’ll give you one too. But…” she winked mischievously, “I probably won’t get to give it to you. Your boss, Mr. Xie, has already arranged everything for you.”
Chatting and laughing all the way, the car stopped in front of the office building where Shen Nian'an Law Firm was located. Jiang Yining followed Xiao Xiao into the bright and impressive lobby and took the elevator directly to the floor where the law firm was located. The receptionist and passing employees were obviously very familiar with Xiao Xiao and greeted her one after another.
But when their gaze fell upon Jiang Yining, who possessed outstanding temperament and stunning beauty, they couldn't help but reveal amazement and curiosity.
Xiao Xiao casually put his arm around Jiang Yining's shoulder, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for those nearby to hear: "Everyone, watch your eyes! This is President Xie's wife. Think twice before you start thinking about her."
Upon hearing this, the admiring or inquisitive gazes instantly vanished, replaced by awe and caution. In S City and even the entire business district, Xie Shiyan's reputation as a "living Yama" was well-deserved. His methods were ruthless and his reach was extremely wide-ranging. Offending him often resulted in a fate a hundred times more devastating than offending Zhou Yanzhe or Lu Jingshen. The latter might still leave some room for maneuver, but the former was truly relentless and ruthless to the point of being chilling.
Jiang Yining was unaware of Xie Shiyan's "fierce reputation" outside, only noticing that the atmosphere had suddenly become much quieter, which was somewhat inexplicable. At this moment, Shen Nian'an walked quickly out of the office with her bag. When she saw Jiang Yining, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face: "Ningning is here too? Perfect, let's go pick up the child."
This time, Chen Nian'an drove. Jiang Yining finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat comfortably in the back seat. The car quickly entered a pleasant, mid-range residential area. In the central garden, elderly people played chess, and children played, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Xiao Xiao got out and called out to an elderly couple and a small figure under a pavilion not far away, "Dad, Mom!"
A little girl wearing a pink tutu, with two small pigtails and a round, chubby face like a rice ball, turned her head sharply at the sound. Her big, round eyes, which looked just like Xiao Xiao's, lit up instantly when she saw her mother.
She broke free from her grandmother's hand, and with her short legs, like a pink little cannonball, she rushed towards Xiao Xiao with a giggle.
"Mommy!" the little girl called out in her childish voice, rushing into Xiao Xiao's arms.
Jiang Yining's heart melted instantly. She got out of the car, squatted down, and looked at the adorable little child in front of her, who seemed to have stepped out of a New Year's painting. The child's features resembled Lu Jingshen's, but the lively and sweet nature was entirely inherited from Xiao Xiao. She couldn't help but reach out her hand, her voice soft and gentle: "Baby, you're so cute! Can Auntie give you a hug?"
The little girl wasn't shy at all. With her big, bright eyes, she looked curiously at the aunt who was so beautiful she didn't seem real. She actually let go of her mother's hand, opened her little arms, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Beautiful auntie, hug me."
Jiang Yining excitedly hugged the fragrant and soft little dumpling into her arms, feeling the little one's heavy and warm weight. She couldn't help but rub her cheek against the little girl's smooth face, making the little girl giggle.
"Baby, what's your name?" Jiang Yining asked softly.
