Chapter 42: Set a Trap for Her
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan sat alone under the bare old sycamore tree in front of the community building.
On a winter night, the wind blew and the air was cold to the bone. The street lights in the community were dim. A light snow had just fallen in the afternoon, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of dirty gray cloth.
There were only a few pedestrians hurrying home.
Jiang Yuan's hands and feet quickly froze, tears still lingered on her fair face, and her cheeks quickly turned purple from the cold air. The pain from the cold was no match for the desolation in her heart.
She felt as if she was standing on a boundless ice surface, and she could fall into the icy abyss at any time, but there was only a vast expanse of darkness around her, without even a trace of light.
I'm so tired.
She buried her head in her knees, wishing she could close her eyes and never wake up again.
The phone in the bag had been ringing for a long time. Jiang Yuan slowly raised her head and glanced at the phone screen.
It’s Liang Zhouheng.
As if suddenly pulled back to reality, Jiang Yuan pressed the answer button with her frozen fingers.
A familiar gentle male voice immediately came from the phone: "Little Sister Jiang, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuan quickly adjusted her breathing and asked, "Mr. Liang, are you looking for me?"
Liang Zhouheng: "Come and play ball."
Jiang Yuan paused, wanting to say something to decline, but before she could say anything, the other party added, "Boss Yin is here, don't say I won't help you."
She was startled again, and her brain, which had been numb from the cold, began to work with difficulty.
Yin Dong definitely doesn't want to see her.
Liang Zhouheng must have made this call without Yin Dong's knowledge. She couldn't understand why Liang Zhouheng was trying to create this opportunity for her. Was he really that kind?
The person on the other side was urging: "Come quickly, if you come too late, you will definitely regret it."
Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Please send me the address."
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Yuan got out of the taxi. It was the old place, this club. She had been there twice on the same night.
She stood in front of the club door, and a bodyguard immediately came up and led her inside.
Standing at the door of the billiard room, some recent memories came flooding back. Jiang Yuan closed her eyes and suppressed the mixed emotions.
The moment the door was pushed open by the bodyguard, the lively conversation in the room mixed with the smell of various perfumes and the scent of alcohol and nicotine came towards him.
Like a noisy heat wave that instantly enveloped people, a smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face, and his eyes began to scan the crowd.
"Coming?"
Liang Zhouheng's voice came from the side of the pool table.
Following his greeting, the people surrounding the pool table turned their eyes towards her one after another.
Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the sofa against the wall. Yin Dong was sitting there, talking to the person next to him with his head tilted, and surprisingly, there was no cigarette between his fingers.
This was the first time Jiang Yuan saw a woman next to Yin Dong.
The woman had regular facial features, fair skin, and a pretty face. She was dressed simply and wore very little makeup. Apart from a watch on her wrist, she did not have any extra accessories.
But Jiang Yuan recognized the brand of the watch. Last month, she attended a business bureau event, and the client gave her a ladies' watch after the event. Later, she pawned it for 150,000 yuan.
The bag a woman casually places at her feet may cost over 300,000 yuan.
Jiang Yuan judged that this woman was different from most of the women in the room. She was not a public relations woman.
Jiang Yuan couldn't hear what the woman was saying to Yin Dong while she was smiling, but their upper bodies were very close together. Yin Dong tilted his head slightly towards the woman. Although his eyebrows were still dull, his expression was obviously not as cold as usual.
Jiang Yuan's gaze lingered for a few seconds before she turned away and walked towards Liang Zhouheng, raising her voice to respond, "Young Master Liang."
Liang Zhouheng's eyes had been on her for a long time.
She was wearing a black down jacket that covered her tightly from head to toe, but when she walked over, she unzipped the jacket and took it off.
Today she originally followed Sister Hui to "take on a job", so she put on light makeup and wore an ink-colored Xiangyunsha cheongsam.
The fabric of Xiangyunsha exudes a faint pearly luster, making her exposed skin look as smooth as fat. The smooth lines of the cheongsam outline her figure completely and clearly. The clothes are uniquely tailored and fit her body almost seamlessly.
The curvy lines, flowing carelessly, coupled with a pure and tranquil face, perfectly blend the subtlety and sexiness, giving people a strong visual impact.
