The autumn wind was bleak, and dark clouds obscured the sun.
Sheng Xuan returned the large broom to the sanitation worker, turned around and went to sign in with the person in charge of the street office, and washed her hands.
Then, he took out his phone to call Uncle Qing.
"Ah Xuan!" someone called out to him from behind.
He turned his handsome face away. Lin Huier was standing behind a large billboard not far away, seemingly having been there for quite some time.
She looked around awkwardly, her hands fidgeting nervously.
"Have you finished sweeping? I've been waiting for you for a while."
Sheng Xuan raised his thick eyebrows and explained, "I need to find Uncle Qing to pick me up."
Lin Huier hurriedly said, "I have a car, it's under that tree over there. I'll give you a ride."
Sheng Xuan glanced at her indifferently, thinking that Uncle Qing was old and his eyesight wasn't very good, so it wouldn't be safe for him to drive. Besides, her own driver's license was still being held, so she nodded.
He was extremely tall and walked with the speed of the wind, quickly walking ahead of her.
“Ah Xuan…” Lin Hui’er looked at his orange sanitation worker uniform, her eyes darting around a few times. “Why aren’t you taking this off? It looks a bit dirty. You should throw it away.”
She was used to his handsome appearance in all his international designer clothes, but when she first saw him among a group of janitors, wearing the same disgusting and tacky clothes as them, her eyes immediately ached.
How did the noble young master of the Sheng family, whom she had been pursuing for so many years, end up like this?
She hated it, and secretly felt resentful.
I thought he was bankrupt, but at least he still had the advertising company he founded. As long as he persevered, with the remaining fixed assets, even if things got really bad, they wouldn't be too bad.
Who knew that the Sheng family wouldn't even spare his advertising company, forcing him to sweep the streets and do the lowest of jobs.
Her beloved son, the pride of the emperor, has fallen to this state!
She felt heartbroken, and even more resentful.
She secretly went out to find him without telling her family.
If she were photographed with Sheng Xuan, the "cleaner," and it made the entertainment news, she would definitely be ridiculed to death by her sisters at home!
Lately, her family hasn't been giving her a kind look. Even her own mother has started nagging her that she's married into the wrong family and should pull back from the brink to avoid suffering with Sheng Xuan in the future.
She heard that Sheng Xuan had been punished by sweeping the streets, and she was so ashamed that she kept avoiding her other sisters and dared not attend any banquets or gatherings in high society these days.
Sheng Xuan stopped walking without turning her head.
“I’m all dirty. If you’re worried about your car getting dirty, then I won’t ride in it.”
Lin Huier was taken aback, then quickly smiled ingratiatingly.
"No... why would the car be afraid of getting dirty? I know you don't like this dirty thing, let me take you back to the old house to change your clothes first."
Sheng Xuan pouted arrogantly and walked ahead on her own.
He was tall and had long legs, and Lin Huier, wearing high heels, had a hard time chasing after him.
The two got into the car.
He sat in the passenger seat and took out his phone to scroll through.
Lin Huier started the car and slowly drove forward, chatting in a low voice.
"Ah-Xuan, is there really no other way for the advertising company?"
Sheng Xuan explained, "There's nothing we can do right now."
The other party seized on his slight oversight and made a mountain out of a molehill, even bringing up a newly issued heavy-duty ban. At this critical juncture, he had no choice but to wait and see.
Upon hearing this, the light in Lin Huier's eyes dimmed.
According to her father, the second and third wives of the Sheng family not only wanted him to go bankrupt and be ruined, but also tried every means to disgrace him and send him to prison.
This time it was just street sweeping, but next time it will definitely be more than that.
Her father also warned her to distance herself from him immediately and not to get into trouble.
