Chapter 12

Returning Something to Its Rightful Owner?

It was only when she scrambled out of the car that she realized that they had arrived at her house!

She was about to run into her house when she hit upon something. Whipping around, she asked Sheng Nanxuan, “How did you know I live here?”

Sheng Nanxuan smiled lightly. In a conceited tone, he said, “There’s nothing in this world that I don’t know, especially regarding you.”

Gong Mo looked at this man, a total stranger, and she felt her blood run cold. He must have done a background check on her! He was the Second Young Master of the Sheng Family and the Sheng Family was the wealthiest family in the city. What could they not find out?

Gong Mo turned around hastily, ran two steps, then discovered that she was still holding his handkerchief. After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to return it to him. She didn’t want to keep in contact with him! She would definitely not get pregnant. She couldn’t be that unlucky!

She ran to Sheng Nanxuan’s car and reached out her hand. “Here’s your handkerchief!”

Sheng Nanxuan rolled up the window as he said, “Keep it. Take it as it returning to its rightful owner.”

“What?”

The car vanished in a cloud of dust, leaving Gong Mo to wonder if she had heard things wrong. Returning it to its rightful owner? Was this handkerchief hers? She spread the handkerchief out and inspected it carefully.

It was a very old handkerchief. Originally pure white, it was now yellowing with age. It had a wavy border, which made it look like a women’s handkerchief.

Sheng Donglin’s words flashed into Gong Mo’s mind suddenly. “You’ve known Nanxuan for so many years!”

Could it be…

That was impossible! She had no memory of Sheng Nanxuan at all! She had never experienced amnesia, so she would definitely have memories of Sheng Nanxuan if she had known him at all.

…

A ten million Maybach drove along the public road. After a few minutes, it stopped at a mountainside.

A handsome man got out from the shotgun seat, walked to the back, and opened the passenger car door. “Boss!” the man said respectfully.

A shiny leather shoe emerged from the interior and stepped onto the ground powerfully. Sheng Nanxuan emerged from the car. His austere aura overpowered the chauffeur and made him fade into obscurity.

He was pretty friendly towards Gong Mo. Even though he might sometimes scare her, he would still smile at her. He never smiled at anyone else and even if he did, it was a cold smile that did not reach his eyes. He walked to the roadside and looked at the emerald-green park in front.

The chauffeur beside him gestured and said, “This is a Sheng Family-owned ecological park used for growing medicinal ingredients. Ever since the Sheng Family put it up for sale, a few companies have expressed interest in acquiring it. Most of them want to turn it into a tourist spot.”

Sheng Nanxuan sneered coldly. “An ecological park for growing medicinal ingredients? The Sheng Family operates a drug manufacturing company and needs an enormous amount of medicinal ingredients. How can we be willing to part with such a large piece of land?”

“Uh…” His assistant looked at him. Summoning his courage, he said, “Sheng Donglin is about to open a company in the capital and needs a large amount of capital, so it’s reasonable to sell off a piece of land. Even though Nanjiang City is flourishing, it is ultimately a little southern city which cannot be compared to the capital. The Sheng Family is probably trying to establish itself as a major player.”

His assistant wiped his sweat discreetly after his speech. Dear Boss, you’re a member of the Sheng Family and should be more familiar with its business than I am, right? Why do you need me to tell you?

Sheng Nanxuan laughed coldly. “Make it known that no one is allowed to touch this piece of land!” There was no way that the Sheng Family could part with this gold mine!

No one in the world would dare pocket this piece of land.
