Chapter 253: 246: The Temptation of Beauty (First Update)

Wen Changling faced her with an air of righteous indignation, “To bestow favors without expecting repayment.”

Jiang Chengxue laughed.

If there’s no repayment, then there’s no repayment.

“What do you plan to do with that old lady?”

Disposal. His choice of words was very direct and bold, one could say he showed no regard for the law.

Wen Changling’s face bore a calm and obedient expression, “Disposing of those who have erred isn’t my responsibility, that’s a matter for the police.”

“Don’t you distrust the police?” His facial structure more closely resembled that of a Westerner, with a slightly sunken eye socket giving him a profound gaze as if he could see into people’s hearts and through everything. He looked at Wen Changling and said slowly, “You don’t trust the police, which is why you once sought vengeance with gasoline.”

It was true, he didn’t trust them.

But Wen Changling wasn’t foolish; she would weigh her options.

“It was just a pot of boiling water, not worth the fuss.” Her eyes were incredibly clear and innocent, as if the incident had little to do with her, “Besides, I wasn’t the one injured.”

Pure, evil.

Wen Changling possessed both of these completely opposite natures at the same time.

Jiang Chengxue’s smile faded as he gazed intently at her. His eyes were burning, unhidden, straightforwardly revealing his intense interest in her.

It was the look of one recognizing their own kind. Even if their natures were different, he felt that Wen Changling should become one of his allies.

“Secretary Dai.”

Wen Changling looked away toward the door, “Chairman Jiang is inconvenienced by his hand injury; you stay behind, and after getting the medicine, help me take Chairman Jiang back.”

Dai Qiu responded, “Alright, Director Wen.”

The burn treatment was done, and aside from fetching the medicine there was nothing else, Wen Changling took her leave, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now.” After letting them know, she left first.

Dai Qiu stepped forward and pulled the medical curtain around the emergency bed closed.

She knelt down, gently caressing the bandage on Jiang Chengxue’s left hand, looking up at him with a gaze full of distress and affection, “Does it hurt?”

Jiang Chengxue took her hand, pinching her wrist bone.

She frowned in pain.

He didn’t stop, almost crushing the delicate bones of the woman’s hand, as he leaned closer and asked her the same question, “Does it hurt?”

Dai Qiu had seen many sides of him; there was always a restless urge to destroy in the depths of his eyes, towards everyone. He was extremely adept at psychological warfare, which is why, despite knowing they would be ruined, many were still willing.

He loosened his grip, easing the pressure from his fingertips, becoming gentle as he stroked the reddened bones, “If something like this happens again, you have to step in to shield her.”

She bowed her head, obediently agreeing, “I understand.”

Xie Shang didn’t go to the emergency room to find Wen Changling but waited on the route she must take to return. Before coming, he met with the Guan Family’s security guards and understood the situation.

Wen Changling wasn’t injured; knowing that was enough for him. As for what she was doing, he’d wait until she finished.

As soon as Wen Changling came out, she saw Xie Shang, the wind outside was strong, and he stood beside the curbstone of the green belt.

“Why are you here?”

Xie Shang said, “Just passing by.”

Wen Changling silently stared for a few seconds, “Can’t you come up with a better excuse?”

Miss Wen also knew he was making excuses.

Well then, she would have to listen to whatever he said. He came up with a decent enough excuse, “The cold hasn’t cleared up, came to see the doctor.”

Wen Changling didn’t believe it and walked past him toward the hospital exit.

“Does the matter with Jiang Chengxue have something to do with Ah Na?”

Wen Changling stopped in her tracks and turned around.

Xie Shang looked at her with a serious expression, “Considering your interactions with him, I can’t think of any other possibilities.” She wouldn’t engage in meaningless actions.

There surely was something on Jiang Chengxue that she wanted to obtain.

“Couldn’t it be that I’ve taken a liking to him?”

Xie Shang had an instinct that it wasn’t the case, but still couldn’t help asking, “What about him do you like?”

Wen Changling was caught off guard by the question.

He moved closer, slightly bending down, his gaze meeting Wen Changling’s as his face filtered through the night enlarged in her eyes, he asked in a different way, “In what way am I inferior to him?”

The moon hung brightly overhead, like a jade tree standing before the wind, a scene that couldn’t be replicated by any paintbrush.

Because of Xie Shang, Wen Changling, who had never cared about appearances, had developed an unfortunate new habit – a penchant for beauty. Under the moonlight, his skin was a frosted matte white, and his eyes, already beautiful, looked like amber stars that had fallen into the deep sea. When he looked at someone with tender focus, it was as though he could drown a person in those depths.

Wen Changling forgot to react.

“Is it for the car with the tail number 07**?” A taxi stopped at the curb, with only Wen Changling and Xie Shang near the door, the driver leaned out of the window, “Is it your ride?”

Wen Changling instantly snapped back to reality, leaving Xie Shang behind and getting into the taxi, not waiting for the driver to ask where to go, she quickly gave the destination.

The car drove away.

Xie Shang had driven there himself, he glanced at the taxi’s license plate, and after the car had driven off, he made a call, “Eastern Automobile’s Jiang Chengxue, dig a little deeper, I want to know everything about him.”

*****

Wen Changling didn’t know where Xie Shang had parked his car, nor when he had arrived, but when she got out of the taxi and walked into the old street’s deep alley, he was following her.

Having her mind bewitched by beauty just outside the hospital, she was in a bad mood and turned to scold Xie Shang, “Haven’t you followed enough?”

Xie Shang sounded helpless, “Miss Wen, this is also the way to my home.”
