I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

88 Don’t You Have Anything Else to Say to Me?

“Wen Xu isn’t someone who doesn’t know his limits. He would never get into a conflict with someone on such an important occasion for no reason.”

Sang Qianqian said coldly, “I’m afraid that you must’ve been the one fanning the flames in the dark, right?”

“Miss Sang, what are you saying? I don’t dare to add fuel to the fire.”

Wen Hao smiled. “However, if my brother was half as smart as Miss Sang, he wouldn’t have become my subordinate’s worker and be ordered around by those young people.”

Sang Qianqian bit her lip tightly. Wen Hao really did have bad intentions; He actually wanted Wen Xu to be his subordinate’s worker!

Wen Xu had always been proud and arrogant, and he would rather break than bend. How could he accept the gap between the Vice President of Zhongwen Film and Television Group to an ordinary employee?

Wen Xu had kept such a big matter and never mentioned it to her.

She was both angry and distressed. She wanted to go upstairs to find Wen Xu, but she looked at the time and realized that she would be late if she didn’t leave.

Sang Qianqian looked at Wen Hao and Ding Aojia coldly. “You two are really a good match.”

One liked to play tricks and was as scheming as a hornet’s nest, while the other was arrogant and domineering. They had better not break up in the future, or else other people might fall victim to their crazy antics.

Seeing that Sang Qianqian had left in a taxi, Ding Aojia frowned. “What did she mean by that last sentence?”

Wen Hao watched as Sang Qianqian’s car disappeared into the traffic with some reluctance before he hugged Ding Aojia and smiled. “She probably saw that we’re a match made in heaven and wished us well.”

Only then did Ding Aojia’s brows relax. She ordered Chang San, her bodyguard who had been waiting by the roadside, “Chang San, catch up to Sang Qianqian’s car and see where she’s staying.”

Chang San groaned in his heart, but he didn’t show any expression on his face. “Yes.”

He stepped on the accelerator and the car quickly gave chase.

When Sang Qianqian arrived at the Imperial Creek terrace, it was exactly nine o’clock.

Shen Hanyu was on the phone. After opening the door for her, he motioned for her to sit down and have a drink.

The freshly squeezed pomelo juice was placed on the coffee table. The mint leaves on it must have just been taken out of the refrigerator, as the leaves emitted a very cold mist that looked very tempting.

The summer weather was hot, and Sang Qianqian was really thirsty, so she didn’t stand on ceremony and slowly sipped her drink.

Shen Hanyu was standing in front of the window, talking to someone on the phone. He lowered his voice and said, “I’m not free tonight.”

“I’m not free tomorrow either.”

She didn’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Shen Hanyu said lightly, “I’m indeed very busy.”

The person on the other end of the line was still unwilling to give up. After a while, Shen Hanyu frowned and said in a cold voice, “If you’re really that desperate, come over at 10 pm tonight.”

He hung up the phone and suppressed the coldness in his eyes before turning around. Shen Hanyu’s mood was lifted when he saw the half-finished pomelo juice in the girl’s glass.

He sat down opposite of Sang Qianqian and said in an emotionless voice, “I heard from Muyang that you went to the detention center to visit Han Tianyi?”

Sang Qianqian nodded. “He, Wen Xu, and I grew up together when we were young. We’re considered friends, no matter what.”

She thought to herself, ‘Why does Guo Muyang tell Shen Hanyu everything?’

Guo Muyang had called her twice today. The first time he called, she happened to be in the guard’s office.

She didn’t want to tell Guo Muyang where she was, but the prison guard called her and Wen Xu in and even mentioned Han Tianyi’s name, which was overheard by Guo Muyang. When he asked if she was visiting a prisoner at the guardhouse, Sang Qianqian didn’t hide anything.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and told Shen Hanyu about it.

Shen Hanyu’s deep eyes fell on the girl’s face. He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to be waiting for her to continue.

However, Sang Qianqian didn’t have the intention of continuing. Afterward, she stood up and asked, “President Shen, are you done with your work? Can we start the acupuncture treatment now?”

She was worried about Wen Xu and wanted to go back earlier to ask him what was going on. Shen Hanyu looked at her. “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

Wasn’t she on good terms with Han Tianyi?

As long as he was willing to compromise to an out-of-court settlement, Han Tianyi wouldn’t be sentenced. Was Sang Qianqian not going to plead for Han Tianyi?

On the other hand, Sang Qianqian didn’t have such intentions. She didn’t know what Shen Hanyu meant by his words. “What else should I say?”

Didn’t she already say what she needed to say?

If she had asked him if he was done and if she could start the acupuncture, wouldn’t she already be done talking?

Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. “Nevermind.”

However, when Shen Hanyu entered the bedroom, he couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you plan to plead for Han Tianyi?”

Sang Qianqian, who was opening the acupuncture bag, paused and looked up to meet his eyes. “Is President Shen willing to forgive Tianyi?”

“What do you think?” Shen Hanyu asked, staring at the girl. It was clear that Han Tianyi’s assassination was unforgivable, and Shen Hanyu wasn’t willing to settle it outside of court. However, if Sang Qianqian were to plead for Han Tianyi, Shen Hanyu might still agree to her words.

“Since that’s the case, then let the court decide.”

Sang Qianqian said softly, “After all, he did do something wrong. He should take responsibility for his actions.”

She had seen the surveillance video from the day of the assassination through her lawyer. Han Tianyi really wanted to kill Shen Hanyu. Just like the assassin from five years ago, he aimed for his heart.

If Shen Hanyu hadn’t been lucky enough to avoid the attack, he would’ve lost his life. Even so, Shen Hanyu’s left arm was still injured, and it looked quite serious in the video. It was bleeding a lot.

If she or her family were in the other party’s shoes, she would definitely not forgive the other party. As Wen Xu had said, she had done everything within her power as Han Tianyi’s friend. She had to keep a clear conscience.

It would be hard for her to ask for Shen Hanyu’s forgiveness again.

Shen Hanyu looked deeply at Sang Qianqian. However, Sang Qianqian had already taken out her silver needles. “President Shen, shall I start?”

Shen Hanyu nodded silently. “Alright.”

He thought that she would stand on Han Tianyi’s side, but she didn’t. Sometimes, her actions would really surprise him.

But perhaps it was because of this that he couldn’t forget her. Maybe this was why he wasn’t willing to let go of her for years.

Not long after Sang Qianqian left, Shen Hanyu was woken up by the sound of a message notification on his phone. It was a message from Xia Sitong, “Big Brother Hanyu, I’m right outside your door.”

She was half an hour earlier than the agreed time. Shen Hanyu opened the door and let her in. “What’s the rush?”

On the phone, Xia Sitong said that she had to meet and talk to him. She said that even if Shen Hanyu didn’t want to see her, she would still come and wait outside the door until he was willing to see her.

Shen Hanyu couldn’t figure out what Xia Sitong wanted, for her to be so impatient. Xia Sitong sat on the sofa, her hands twisted together nervously as she hesitated to speak.

“Brother Hanyu,” she said after a while, “Can you please not hold Han Tianyi responsible?”

Shen Hanyu’s pupils shrank as he stared at Xia Sitong with a cold gaze. “Your reason is?”

He really didn’t expect Xia Sitong to speak up for Han Tianyi instead of Sang Qianqian.
