Chapter 393: Preventing Return
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Yan held his wine gla.s.s and drank one gla.s.s after another, his gaze fixed on Jiang An.
Jiang An naturally noticed it too, but she didn’t point it out or respond. She acted as if she didn’t know that others were looking at her. She was just smiling and chatting with Zou Bai. The two of them were intimate as if no one was around.
The more she did this, the more fire burned in Zhao Yan’s heart. He even began to fantasize that the person sitting beside Jiang An was him.
At this moment, Jiang Huai walked over and said, “An’an, you received an invitation too?”
Jiang An looked at his third brother and began to admire Zou Bai. He was right. Zhao Yan had really invited her brother over.
“Third Brother, I only received it yesterday. I thought that the children would still be at home, but Zou Bai asked me to come out and relax,” Jiang An said as she held Zou Bai’s hand.
Zou Bai smiled and said to Jiang Huai, “Third Brother.”
This form of address made Jiang Huai’s scalp tingle, but he couldn’t not give Zou Bai face in public. He could only suppress his emotions.
In the eyes of outsiders, this action meant that the Jiang family had already agreed to Zou Bai and Jiang An dating. Fortunately, they were sitting far away from the others. Otherwise, these people would have guessed that the two of them were getting married.
Zhao Yan looked at this warm scene and felt even more unhappy. A person like Zou Bai should die alone. What right did he have to have such happiness?
Even the waiter who came to serve the wine could feel that Zhao Yan was emitting a murderous aura.
Jiang An didn’t want to stay any longer. After talking for a while, she turned to look at Zhao Yan. “Young Master Zhao, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”
“You’ve only been here for a short while and you’re already leaving. Did I not treat you well?” Zhao Yan hurriedly stood up and said.
Jiang An smiled and said, “The banquet was held very well. I’ve been recuperating recently, so I try not to stay up late.”
This reason was simply impeccable. Even if Zhao Yan wanted to keep them, he could not find an excuse. He could only pretend to be enthusiastic and send them out.
However, when he reached the door, Zhao Yan suddenly said, “Zou Bai, let me tell you something. Chen Xiang will be back soon. I heard that the new movie has finished filming. She’s coming back to China to film.”
Zou Bai’s expression did not change as he said, “That’s a good thing. She wanted to be a big star in the past.”
His tone was so calm that it was as if he was not familiar with Chen Xiang. It was impossible to tell what special opinion he had on this matter. Zhao Yan could not say in front of everyone that his ex-girlfriend was returning.
However, he believed that this sentence would leave an impression in Jiang An’s heart. On the day Chen Xiang really returned to the country, Zou Bai would not be able to remain so calm.
After they left, Zhao Yan’s expression completely collapsed. He tugged at the bow tie around his neck, picked up the wine gla.s.s, and drank it in one gulp.
He had thought that he could get closer to Jiang An and provoke Zou Bai. He did not expect the other party to not take the bait at all. Jiang An’s att.i.tude towards him was even worse than when he first came to visit.
Zhao Yan believed that Zou Bai must have said something, which was why Jiang An tried her best not to interact with him. However, this also meant that Zou Bai was worried. As long as he did something, it seemed that his actions would be effective.
He swirled his wine gla.s.s and suddenly remembered that the person overseas was coming back. He didn’t know who Zou Bai’s true love was.
Because Jiang Huai was around, Zou Bai only sent Jiang An to her house. The two of them bade each other farewell in the car.
Jiang Huai couldn’t stand it anymore. “Anyway, you’re still coming over tomorrow. Why are you so clingy?”
Jiang An also knew that it was time to go in. Before she left, he asked, “By the way, who is that Chen Xiang that Zhao Yan mentioned?”
Zou Bai couldn’t explain it in a short amount of time. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll explain it to you in detail tomorrow.”
Jiang An nodded and got out of the car. Zou Bai watched her walk into the villa before leaving. He instructed Zou Yi, “Go and find out what Chen Xiang has been doing recently.”
Zou Yi’s entire body tensed up. He already had Miss Jiang, so why was his master still investigating Chen Xiang?
It was no wonder that Zou Yi was so nervous. The entire Zou family would probably be nervous when they heard this name.
For example, Wen Li, who was worried about this matter, had been watching Chen Xiang’s movements. She had clearly been filming outside previously and looked very busy. Why did she keep wanting to return to the country recently? Zou Bai had finally been willing to interact with other girls. She could not let her ruin it.
At the thought of this, Wen Li was worried. She simply called overseas and said, “Let’s see what Chen Xiang is filming recently. Invest more and let her film there for as long as possible..”
