Su Wan passed the phone back to Aunty Fang. She blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.
Is there a problem, Aunty Fang? Im truly grateful to Mr. Jiang for taking me in, but I feel bad for taking up his time. So, I wouldnt dare disturb him further.
It was rare for her young master to like a girl. In a moment of desperation, Aunty Fang held on to Su Wans arm and said, Young Master doesnt feel disturbed and he urged me to take good care of Miss Su.
Su Wan was not used to any physical contact with people whom she had just known. Thus, she pushed Aunty Fangs hands away.
Aunty Fang, I just happened to meet Mr. Jiang by chance and Im a girl. Its not appropriate for me to live with him. Furthermore, he wants you to take care of meisnt that controlling my freedom?
She was an adult and not an object. Even Su Wans parents would not limit her freedom, let alone Jiang Xuecheng!
Aunty Fang was speechless and could see that Su Wan had no affection toward Jiang Xuecheng. She sighed softly and compromised, Let me report to Young Master first.
How could Aunty Fang let Jiang Xuecheng know she was leaving? She would be caught back here before she even stepped out the door.
After all, she had done terrible things to Jiang Xuecheng the previous night and was afraid that he would not let her go when he returned.
Su Wans lips twitched and she stopped Aunty Fang from calling him. Aunty Fang, Mr. Jiang should be busy now. Hes probably in a meeting. Lets not disturb him over small matters like this.
After Su Wans glib persuasion, Aunty Fang finally gave in and opened the door for Su Wan.
To her, nothing done by force could be positive. Her young master had good looks, a good figure, and was the king of the business world in name. In fact, Aunty Fang believed that if he wanted to pursue a girl, it wouldnt be too difficult. She strongly believed in his capability.
Once she stepped out of Jiang Xuechengs residence, Su Wan felt freedom in the air. She raised her head and narrowed her eyes, taking in the blue sky and white clouds. Her mind and body were relaxed.
When she walked out to the main entrance of Fontainebleau, she saw Lin Feier in red fur coat. She looked different from her immature self during high school. Now, she had voluminous wavy hair and charming femininity.
When Lin Feier saw Su Wan, her eyes lit up and she gave her a bear hug.
Youve grown more beautiful. Lin Feier whistled after letting go of Su Wan, but after seeing her shoes, she ridiculed her, I was just about to praise your taste in fashion, and then I saw your pair of sports shoes. This is such weird appreciation of beauty!
This was Jiang Xuechengs choice and it wasnt related to her!
After a little while of catching up with Lin Feier, she got into her car.
After passing through a traffic light, Lin Feier suddenly thought of something, Wan, I remember you staying at Cloud Shadow Villa. Why were you at Fontainebleau?
Su Wan briefly explained as the situation was awkward. Yesterday, I stayed over at a friends house in Fontainebleau, but Im not too close to this friend, so Im seeking refuge from our Queen Feier. Oh right, Feier, do you know Jiang Xuecheng?
The minute Lin Feier heard Jiang Xuechengs name, her head whipped toward her, frightening Su Wan.
Ah, ah, ah, he is the CEO of Di Chen Group. Handsome, rich and still single! Why do you ask about him all of a sudden? I wont say Id like to make him the prototype of the male character in my novel.
Looking at the flames in Lin Feiers eyes, Su Wan huffed, It cant be the novel Boys Love, could it?
If Jiang Xuechengs cold and handsome face were to be in the top and bottom positions of Boys Love, the scene would be too beautiful. Su Wan did not even dare to think about it.
Thats right, Lin Feier was a complete fan of Boys Love. She had always wanted to influence Su Wan but had not succeeded yet.
Of course, after befriending Lin Feier for a long time, Su Wan knew lots of terminology.
Lin Feier laughed with a nosy tone. You understand me. Whos asked Jiang Xuecheng to be good-looking and rich but single all these years? All his secretaries are men. He might not be interested in girls.
When Su Wan recalled last nights incident where she had almost raped Jiang Xuecheng, the embarrassing scene made her start fidgeting.
Su Wan couldnt help but defend Jiang Xuecheng slightly. Maybe he hasnt met the right woman yet.
How would you know? Lin Feier glanced at Su Wan. Wan, Ive not seen you care for any other men besides Gu Zihang, could it be
Upon hearing Gu Zihangs name, Su Wans expression turned lonely. She sighed lowly, Feier, you probably wont believe it but Gu Zihang is about to be engaged to my cousin sister.
What? You mean that white lotus Su Yurou? Is Gu Zihang blind?
Lin Feier slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt.
Su Wan felt giddy following the sudden brake. She didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Why are you more stirred up than I am?
Lin Feier hit the steering wheel furiously. How could I not be stirred up? Did you know that during a gathering between classmates last year, someone asked Su Yurou about you and I almost had an argument with her because of this. Guess what she said about you?
Su Wans heart sank and enquired, What did she say?
Su Yurou said a few sentences in a cryptic manner but was implying that you had severe depression and was about to be admitted to a mental hospital. However, when we were in touch, you were very normal. I tried to argue with her but in the end, she nearly cried for show and tried to put the blame on me!
Lin Feier then added, Its not the first time shes condemned others either intentionally or unintentionally. At that time, Gu Zihang was the first to defend her but he insisted that he and you were a couple. That was why I did not suspect anything.
Just by listening to the description, Su Wan could imagine Gu Zihang defending Su Yurou. She took a deep breath. Feier, have you heard about the amalgamation of Sheng Ran? When I returned home, I realized
Lin Feier was completely surprised. She frowned and looked grave.
Wan, how could you not know about this? Two years ago, Su Yurous familys company, Heng Yuan, amalgamated with Sheng Ran Group as Sheng Yuan Group. Everyone thought the Su family wanted to restore and revitalize their family business and you own 50% of the shares, so this decision mustve been approved by you.
Su Wan smiled bitterly, Feier, at that time, the agreement was for me to get 50% of the shares after Im married. Before I get married, these shares will be under my grandfathers care.
They cant just ignore you and amalgamate Sheng Ran in private!
Lin Feier was stamping her feet but suddenly thought of something.
Did the agreement state that you have to marry Gu Zihang? Perhaps Su Yurou seduced Gu Zihang not only for his sake, but they couldve had the intention to embezzle your property too
