Chapter 36: Frank

The restroom is on the corridor outside the venue. On the other side of the corridor is a large, carefully designed landscape garden, where the fragrance of various seasonal precious flowers interweaves together, refreshing the heart.

While Zhong Xue was in the bathroom, Jiang Wu paced along the corridor, recalling the process of the charity event mentioned by Nie Yumeng and what she said to Chang Yi.

Because he was thinking too much, he almost bumped into the person walking towards him. Fortunately, he noticed the other person's breath in time and stopped immediately, "Hold...Han Zhong?"

The person who came was none other than Han Zhong, who came alone, without Yao Ping following behind him. There was still no expression on his cold face. Jiang Wu thought of the situation at the venue before, and was unsure whether to greet him or not, so he just stood there in a daze.

Han Zhong's expression turned even colder. "Are you pretending not to know me?"

Jiang Wu just felt wronged, "Didn't you pretend not to know me first? I thought you were having some inconvenience."

Han Zhong frowned, "Is there anything inconvenient?"

"How should I know?"

“…”

Han Zhong took a look at his suit and new hairstyle, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Wu paused, unsure whether Han Zhong knew about Lu Linhe, and replied cautiously, "To see the world. I heard there are many upper-class people here. I want to get to know some people related to the entertainment industry."

The reason was reasonable, but Han Zhong also knew that Jiang Wu could not enter such a place with his identity. He was probably able to enter because of Zhong Xue. Thinking of this, his tone became lukewarm, "Where is your female companion?"

"I went to the bathroom."

"She's not simple, don't get too close to her."

"oh."

"Oh?" Han Zhong frowned even more tightly, "Did you hear that?"

Jiang Wu didn't say anything, thinking to himself, how can I investigate your assassination if I don't deal with her?

Han Zhong thought that he didn't believe him and was about to say something else when the sound of high heels was heard in the corridor not far away. At the same time, two familiar figures appeared there - Bai Yuan and her assistant.

"Jiang Wu?"

Bai Yuan had just come out of the bathroom to touch up her makeup when she saw Jiang Wu standing by the pillar in the corridor. His face was slightly red, his hair was a little messy, and even the shirt underneath was exposed from his waist. There seemed to be the reflection of another person behind the pillar.

She was stunned at first, then she thought of something and said sarcastically, "Are you so impatient? You can't even wait to go to the hotel and come here for a tryst?"

They were both stunned, and Jiang Wu subconsciously looked at Han Zhong behind the pillar.

Bai Yuan, who didn't hear any response at this time, shouted impatiently, "I'm talking to you, the one hiding behind the pillar. You're old, and you have the nerve to flirt with young people!"

Han Zhong: “…”

This was probably the first time that President Han was scolded like this. The expression on his face was so wonderful that Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Han Zhong.

Seeing that the person behind the pillar remained silent, Bai Yuan looked at Jiang Wu with pride, "Jiang Wu, you can't be so casual even if you can't catch up with me. Do you know what happened to her in the past? She was with the guy from the Fang family--"

Jiang Wu realized that she mistook the person behind the pillar for Zhong Xue, and was too lazy to explain, "I'm not interested in these."

Bai Yuan was furious and said sarcastically, "I don't know who was the one who pursued me so relentlessly at the beginning. He even climbed up to the 20th floor in the middle of the night to bring me food because of something I said. He left in shame after I scolded him. He was really despicable."

Jiang Wu thought of his original body's frail body, climbing 20 floors in the middle of the night, and silently agreed in his heart: It is true.

Seeing that he didn't say anything and kept glancing at the person behind the pillar, Bai Yuan was moved. Could it be that the woman was still naked?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. If she could record the woman's ferocious look, President Han would definitely lose interest in her!

She calmly took out her phone from her assistant's bag, quietly turned on the video recorder, and pretended to walk to Jiang Wu nonchalantly, "Jiang Wu, it's not that I don't like you, but you know that with my family background, you can't even be together with me. Even if we are together, my family will not agree."

Jiang Wu was a little puzzled as to why she suddenly said these words to him, and he did not notice that Han Zhong's face behind the pillar was already cold as ice, and he said calmly: "Ah, it's okay, I understand."

Bai Yuan thought he was pretending to be strong, so she curled her lips and reached out to touch his face, "Actually, if you look closely, you're quite handsome—"

At the last moment before her hand touched Jiang Wu Lian, a big hand suddenly appeared from the side and tightly clamped her wrist.

"ah!"

Bai Yuan cried out, holding up her phone with her other hand, "You bastard——"

The moment she saw the person in front of her clearly, Bai Yuan was completely stunned. She asked in confusion, "Han... President Han? Why is it you?"

Han Zhong's eyes were gloomy. "Who do you think it is?"

"Of course it is..." Bai Yuan still couldn't believe what she saw. She lowered her head and looked at the person on the phone. It was Han Zhong, not Zhong Xue. Her face turned pale and a feeling of despair surged in her heart.

"Han... President Han, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I thought it was Zhong Xue... Yes, Zhong Xue, I was scolding Zhong Xue! I didn't mean to scold you! Please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I really didn't mean it!"

Han Zhong shook her hand off, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the perfume off his hands, "Delete the video and get lost."

Bai Yuan deleted the video in a panic and fled with the help of her assistant.

Jiang Wu looked at his gloomy face, thinking that he was angry about being scolded, and comforted him, "She mistook you for Zhong Xue. If she knew that the person behind the pillar was you, she would never dare to scold you."

"You think I would be angry about being scolded by such a person?"

“…”

Jiang Wu was startled. Could it be that he was angry because Bai Yuan scolded him? He was somewhat moved. "Actually, I didn't care about what happened before—"

"Twenty floors." Han Zhong sneered, "Four more floors than the top floor of the hospital. I thought you really took the risk to come see me, and I even solved Zuo Ran's problem for you and returned the favor. What happened?"

"Twentieth floor, do you like climbing stairs?"

Jiang Wu: “…”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Han Zhong just thought that he acquiesced. He was glad that he didn't have a soft heart towards this man at the beginning. He thought that he was worthy of being someone from the entertainment industry. He was really cunning.

"Oh."

Han Zhong sneered and turned to walk forward. After two steps, he realized that the person behind him had not caught up. He turned his head with a cold look, "Why, do you still want to climb the stairs?"

“…”

Jiang Wu said speechlessly, "I still have to wait for Zhong Xue, you go back first."

Han Zhong's face became even darker. "I told you before, that woman is not as simple as you think. You will lose your life if you stay with her."

Jiang Wu said weakly: "You can't just abandon a girl like her, right?"

Han Zhong was so angry that he laughed. He turned around and strode up to him, grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the pillar. His black eyes were half-closed, like cold glass.

"Do you know where this is? If you don't want to get into trouble, just leave. Do you understand?"

Jiang Wumin heard something from his words, "Are you——"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away.

"Sorry to bother you two."
