After Freya left the studio, she put on her sunglasses, got into the Maserati parked on the roadside, and drove away.
When she arrived at the hotel, she opened the door to the room, looked at the man inside, and said slowly: "She said she didn't want to take the order."
The man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window slowly turned his head, walked a few steps and sat on the sofa: "Have you asked me what the reason is?"
"She found out that my parents are from Jiangzhou."
The man held the cigar for a moment, and then said with great interest: "It seems that she is quite vigilant. She can check this."
Freya snorted, sat opposite the man, skillfully picked up the cigar and lit it, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "It seems that it is impossible for them to start from here."
The man narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, our opportunity has come."
"What?"
"I got news this morning that Jiang Chuning secretly left Jiangzhou and is now in Nancheng."
Freya frowned: "Jiang Chuning?"
The man said: "She is both Jiang Shanghan's fiancée and Jiang Jingyao's daughter. If something happens to her in Nancheng, the two of them will definitely fall out, and then there will be a good show."
"Jiang Chuning came to Nancheng by himself, how could Jiang Jingyao and Jiang Shanghan..."
"How do you think she, a little girl, was able to pass through so many obstacles and hide from so many pairs of eyes to come to Nancheng?"
Freya understood, and she laughed: "It turns out that she was the one I saw in Ruan Xingwan's studio."
The man smoked a cigar: "Nancheng is Zhou Cishen's territory. Tell me, if something happens to Jiang Chuning here, who will be responsible for the debt in the end?"
Freya said: "You are good at killing two birds with one stone, but can they agree to it?"
"His targets were originally Zhou Cishen and Ruan Xingwan, but now we have brought the Jiang family in and made them kill each other. He is eager to see this situation, so why not do it."
…
After getting off work in the evening, Ruan Xingwan locked the door and said to Pei Shanshan and Jiang Chuning who were waiting next to him: "Let's go."
They had just walked a few steps when a car stopped on the side of the road.
Immediately, Daniel's figure appeared in sight.
He strode over: "Shan Shan."
After a pause, he looked at Ruan Xingwan again: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan nodded, and seeing that they seemed to have something to say, he said, "I'll go to the convenience store next door to buy something."
With that said, she took Jiang Chuning and left together.
Jiang Chuning turned around every step of the way and whispered curiously: "Is that Sister Shanshan's boyfriend? Is he a foreigner?"
"Yes, he is mixed race."
At the door of the studio, Pei Shanshan looked at Daniel's slightly frowning eyebrows and said tentatively: "What's wrong with you?"
"Something happened in the overseas company, and I want to go back."
"is it serious?"
"Don't know yet."
Daniel said, "I will probably go back for a while, you..."
Pei Shanshan immediately said: "I'm fine myself, just feel free to go."
Daniel nodded, looked down at his watch, and then looked at the convenience store not far away: "I'm running out of time. If Miss Ruan asks, just say that I have to go back because of personal matters. Don't
Tell her the rest."
Pei Shanshan responded confusedly: "Oh, okay."
"Then I'm leaving. If you have any questions, please contact Cheng Wei."
Pei Shanshan waved to him: "Then be careful on the road."
After Daniel took a few steps, he suddenly came back and held her in his arms: "Wait for me."
Pei Shanshan was stunned there until he walked away for a long time before he gradually came back to his senses.
Ruan Xingwan and Jiang Chuning came back from shopping and saw her standing there in a daze. He waved his hand in front of her: "Shanshan, what's wrong, where is Daniel?"
Pei Shanshan retracted her thoughts: "He... returned to England. He said he had some... personal matters to deal with."
"Private matter?"
"He didn't say it specifically, and I don't know.
But he has been in Nancheng for so long, so he should go back and have a look."
After a pause, Pei Shanshan spoke softly again, as if talking to himself, "He asked me to wait for him, does that mean he will come back?"
Ruan Xingwan's voice was very soft: "I'll be back."
…
For several days in a row, Zhou Cishen went out early and came back late. Ruan Xingwan only occasionally felt someone holding her in his arms when she was sleeping in the middle of the night to confirm whether he had come back.
Every day, Ruan Xingwan, Pei Shanshan, and Jiang Chuning go to the studio together and go home together.
Although Pei Shanshan said she was very happy that no one cared about Daniel when she left, she would occasionally look outside in a daze.
Jiang Chuning is getting more and more comfortable in the studio. Except for always being confused about the item number, he is basically familiar with everything else.
He is the most energetic one among the three of them.
On the way home, Pei Shanshan looked at Jiang Chuning's jumping figure in front and said with envy: "It's great to be young."
Ruan Xingwan smiled and was about to speak when a black car suddenly stopped in front of them.
Two men got out of the car and dragged Jiang Chuning into the car without any explanation.
Jiang Chuning struggled desperately and shouted: "Help, help!"
The man whispered: "Miss, it's me. The master asked me to take you back to Jiangzhou."
Jiang Chuning ignored him and shouted louder: "Help!"
When Ruan Xingwan saw this, he quickly said to Pei Shanshan: "Shanshan, stay here and don't go there."
Pei Shanshan nodded quickly and took out her phone.
Over there, Jiang Chuning struggled so hard that he attracted many passers-by.
They obviously didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so they let go of Jiang Chuning.
Jiang Chuning immediately hid behind Ruan Xingwan who was running over.
The man said: "Miss Ruan, we have no ill intentions, we just want to take the lady home."
Ruan Xingwan recognized the man who spoke as the man who came to the hotel to take her away when she was in Jiangzhou.
Ruan Xingwan blocked Jiang Chuning behind him and said coldly: "Is this the only trick you can do?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said: "We are too... there is really nothing we can do."
They followed Jiang Chuning the day after they came to Nancheng, but Zhou Cishen's people kept causing trouble.
The opportunity is finally right in front of us today, so how can we give up.
Jiang Chuning poked his head out and said, "Tell my dad, as long as he doesn't give up the idea of letting me marry Jiang Shanghan, I won't go back for a day!"
"Miss, the Jiang family cannot leave Jiangzhou."
"Anyway, I don't care. I won't abide by such arrogant and unreasonable rules. I will stay here! I won't go anywhere! You go back."
The man wanted to say something else, but when he saw the person who had been following Ruan Xingwan coming over, he could only give up, waved to him, and quickly got in the car and left.
