[Sheng Tian 23] I really hate you
"Yan Sheng... what are you doing here?"
Yan Sheng waited at the Liang family's door from ten o'clock to twelve o'clock before he saw Fang Tiantian come out, followed by a man whose eyes were practically glued to her.
The moment the man grabbed her hand, Yan Sheng felt she had never been so afraid.
Xie Zhuo's wrist was still being gripped tightly; he couldn't push it away or shake it off, and his face turned red with anger.
"Who do you think you are? I suggest you let go of me before I get angry! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Yan Sheng completely ignored Xie Zhuo's words and looked at Fang Tiantian with his eyes half-lowered.
Fang Tiantian frowned as she looked at him, her mind racing again. Seeing Xie Zhuo crying out in pain, and everyone around looking over, she subconsciously said, "Let him go first."
Yan Sheng frowned and looked over, then heard Xie Zhuo start yelling angrily, "Let go! I still want to put the bracelet on Tian Tian! Where the hell did you come from?!"
Yan Sheng looked at the bracelet at his feet; the reflection of the gemstone pierced his pupils, and he tightened his grip.
"Let go! Fuck you! Believe me or not, I'll have you kicked out!"
Fang Tiantian had no idea what was going on. Yan Sheng was inexplicably angry, and Xie Zhuo was making so much noise that her ears were about to go numb.
"Stop arguing," she said, then looked at Yan Sheng and added, "You let go too!"
The unfamiliar tone made Yan Sheng's heart ache. He looked up at her and said, "He ran into you."
Fang Tiantian thought to herself that she had originally planned to pull her hand away and warn Xie Zhuo, but Yan Sheng suddenly appeared and the situation got out of control.
Today is Liang Chuying's birthday, and Fang Tiantian really didn't want to cause such a commotion at the end of the day. Seeing that more and more people were coming after hearing the noise, and that no matter what she said, he wouldn't listen, she pushed him in desperation.
Suddenly, the memory of his disappearance and the two years that had caused her so much heartache flashed through her mind again. Fang Tiantian's anger flared up, and her words became inexplicably aggressive: "Stop making a scene! You always do whatever you want! Can't you ever consider what other people think? I really hate this side of you!"
The words slipped out, and it was too late for Fang Tiantian to take them back.
Upon hearing this, Yan Sheng's eyes suddenly became filled with an unconcealed darkness.
With her eyes lowered, she suddenly loosened her grip, her palms turning red as she clenched her fists and let them fall gently to her sides.
Like a puppy that has been abandoned for a long time, soaked by the rain, with no roof to shelter it from.
After Xie Zhuo escaped, he immediately took two meters back, grimacing and rubbing his wrist, and shouted at the security guard next to him, "Where did this guy come from! You let him in without an invitation!"
Liang Chuying quickly came out and saw Fang Tiantian frowning and not saying anything. Yan Sheng's eyes gently fell on his sisters as he quickly thought about what was going on.
Upon seeing the homeowner arrive, Xie Zhuo immediately stepped forward to complain: "Chu Ying, this man barged into your house out of nowhere! He even pinched my hand until it was bruised and purple. Have the security guards detain him, and I'm calling the police right now!"
When Liang Chuying heard him say that, she suddenly understood what was going on.
"Xie Zhuo, this is my guest."
He then called out to the butler behind him, "Uncle Chang, take Xie Zhuo to the doctor for treatment."
"Huh? A guest?"
Before Xie Zhuo could figure out what was going on, he was led by several waiters to the second floor of the Liang family's house.
That sentence kept echoing in Yan Sheng's mind, and a bitter feeling welled up in his throat as he swallowed.
Not getting her attention and making her angry, Yan Sheng thought, he seemed just as clumsy as he was three years ago.
Fang Tiantian forced herself to remain calm and didn't look at Yan Sheng again.
After saying those words, she did feel a moment of relief, as if venting her anger in public had cleared away most of the resentment she had accumulated over the years.
Noticing the complicated expressions on her sisters' faces, Liang Chuying remembered the current status of this important figure, coughed twice, and looked at Yan Sheng: "Deputy Director Yan, it's an honor to have you here. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Yan Sheng forced a smile, trying to make his expression look more normal: "No need, I'm here to pick up Tian Tian."
He quickly added, "Ms. Liang, happy birthday."
"Thanks……"
"Chu Chu, have your driver take me home."
Fang Tiantian didn't want to ride back in Yan Sheng's car.
"Um..." After saying this, Liang Chuying's gaze lingered between the two of them, and she didn't finish saying half of her thanks: "Okay... I'll have someone take you back."
Yan Sheng tried to swallow the bitter taste rising in his mouth: "Sweetie, I was just passing by."
"No, thank you."
The Liang family never had to pass through the Fang family's area to get from the Liang family to Qianwan. If you had to say it was on the way, it would only add almost an hour to the journey.
The Liang family's car seemed to be parked right in front of the door. After Fang Tiantian finished speaking, she grabbed her skirt and got into the car.
When the Liang family learned that Yan Sheng was downstairs, Liang Chuying's father was overjoyed and rushed down to find him. Now, everyone in Taipei knew that Deputy Director Yan was the hottest rising star in politics, enjoying the limelight.
But when he came downstairs, all that was left for him was the faint exhaust fumes of the black Mercedes.
"Oh dear! My darling daughter! How could you let her go like that! This was such a rare opportunity!"
It's worth noting that in Ping'an County, where Deputy Director Yan once worked, several high-ranking officials were dismissed last month, with nearly 1 billion yuan in embezzled funds being uncovered.
That's a tiny county town, barely a place!
Deputy Director Yan is shrewd and has close ties with the disciplinary inspection department. If we can get into his current network, the Liang family could probably rival the Fang family!
"Dad, they're not here for a birthday party, how can I ask them to stay?"
Besides, Tian Tian has already left, so there's no way he'd stay here.
She knew perfectly well who the banquet was for.
The dim yellow glow of the streetlights spread across the wet glass, like pieces of amber soaked in water.
The raindrops were fine and dense, not a downpour, but an endless drizzle that was churned into a slanted mist by the speeding car.
Fang Tiantian sat in the car, quietly looking out the window, lost in thought.
Perhaps she thought that Yan Sheng might have already dated someone else during the years he was abroad, or perhaps he only thought of her after returning from his breakup with his ex-girlfriend, or perhaps he was just too bored after returning to China and that's why he thought of her again.
Fang Tiantian felt that she was always crying ever since Yan Sheng came back.
She cried because she didn't give him a nice look, yet he kept saying so many nonsensical things to her.
I'm so upset. He's so mean. Why did he disappear and then come back to find me?
She cried because she was so pathetic, still liking him so much after all these years.
A black Mercedes was parked in front of the Fang family's house.
Yan Sheng sat in the car, quietly looking at the Fang family's gate.
Fang Yue's study was always lit, and the bauhinia flowers that had climbed out of the Fang family garden were still in full bloom, with only a few petals being knocked off by the rain.
Yan Sheng closed the window, filtering out the noise outside, leaving only the sound of rain, which filled the carriage and his chest.
He took out his phone and opened Fang Tiantian's WeChat. The phone keyboard started clicking, and Yan Sheng typed and typed, then deleted, then typed and deleted again.
His words of explanation were pale and powerless. He gently pressed his forehead against the cold car window, helplessly covering his eyes, which were covered in snow.
