Chapter 9
Hurry Up and Leave!
Ding Aojia was extremely embarra.s.sed. She’d thought Xia Sitong was the daughter of one of the Han family’s servants, but she was actually Han Tianyi’s relative.
“Tianyi, I didn’t want to say this. Even if you can’t get my Sister Qian, you don’t have to find a random replacement, alright?”
Wen Xu deliberately poked at his sore spot.
“I don’t have a girlfriend,” Han Tianyi said with a straight face.
Wen Xu pointed at Ding Aojia, his expression as if he wanted the world to be in chaos. “She said you’re her boyfriend.”
“Not anymore.”
Han Tianyi’s face darkened as he pointed toward the villa’s door. “Ding Aojia, you’re not welcome here anymore. Get out of here right now!”
Ding Aojia’s face turned pale, but she wasn’t someone who would let others bully her. “I’ll get lost, Han Tianyi, but don’t you regret this!”
She snorted coldly and turned around to leave on her heels.
Han Tianyi looked at Xia Sitong apologetically. “I’m sorry. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Ding Aojia.”
Xia Sitong shook her head with tears in her eyes. Sang Qianqian said, “Sitong’s clothes are wet. Find a clean set of clothes for her to change into.”
Han Tianyi quickly got his men to make the arrangements while they accompanied Xia Sitong to shower and change her clothes.
After Xia Sitong entered the room, Wen Xu asked curiously, “Where did Xia Sitong slip? Why was she holding your waist?”
Han Tianyi’s face flashed with uneasiness. “In the pavilion on the rockery.”
The Han family’s garden was huge. There were mountains and rivers in the garden and a guest pavilion on the mountain.
Han Tianyi took Xia Sitong to see the scenery. When they came down from the rockery, Xia Sitong slipped, and Han Tianyi caught her.
Xia Sitong was afraid of heights and didn’t dare to let go. Han Tianyi was almost half-hugging her as they walked down the mountain. But, alas, who knew that Ding Aojia would see this scene from afar.
“Then you’re reaping what you’ve sown, Han Tianyi.”
Wen Xu had no sympathy at all. “You have a girlfriend, yet you’re still trying to court other women. You deserve it!”
“It’s my Dad who asked me to show her around. That’s why I brought her up.” Han Tianyi said gloomily.
“Is Xia Sitong really your relative?” Wen Xu asked.
“A distant relative who hasn’t been in contact for many years. My dad insisted on inviting her and her dad to my birthday party.”
Han Tianyi was also confused. “I don’t understand why my dad looks at her dad so differently. He’s just a distant relative, so is there a need to do all this?”
Sang Qianqian subconsciously recalled how Xia Sitong’s father, Xia Zhixin, had announced in front of her brother that he’d be working with the Han family.
She didn’t expect Xia Zhixin to be a distant relative of the Han family.
Wen Xu was a gossiper. “Then what’s going on between you and Ding Aojia?”
“I was just playing with her. Who would’ve thought that she’d be so mischievous?”
Han Tianyi regretted it.
Two days ago, many people went out to hang out with him. He had drunk too much and ended up seducing Ding Aojia. He had gone crazy and even bought 999 roses for her. After that, Ding Aojia even posted it on her WeChat moments. When he woke up, it was too late to regret it.
“You don’t have to explain. Do you think I don’t know you?”
Wen Xu sneered, “What do you mean by ‘playing around’? You’re just saying that you slept with her after getting drunk. We’re not surprised.”
Han Tianyi’s handsome face blushed. “Don’t talk nonsense. Do I look like that kind of person? I have my principles, too.”
They kissed, but they didn’t sleep.
Wen Xu raised his eyebrows.”Do you think you’re like me, pa.s.sing through thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching me?”
“Hehe, you’re making me laugh my head off. You’re always trying to get close to Qianqian, but you can’t…”
Sang Qianqian didn’t want to hear the two bickering, so she got up and went to the bathroom.
She wasn’t familiar with the Han family’s villa, so she had to go around it before she found it.
On her way back, she heard the faint sound of a conversation coming from a room, vaguely mentioning the Sang family.
Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. She walked over quietly and peeked through the gap in the door.
Two people were sitting opposite each other in the room. One was Han Tianyi’s father, Han Shangrong, and the other was Xia Sitong’s father, Xia Zhixin.
“President Han, I’m sorry, but that’s the situation. Shaofeng doesn’t want to accept your investment, and he doesn’t want to work with you.”
Xia Zhixin looked ashamed, “Shaofeng is stubborn, and I couldn’t convince him. It’s not a worry, though. Even if he doesn’t work with you, he definitely won’t work with the Sang family.”
“But I heard that Sang Pengcheng helped Shen Shaofeng find many famous doctors to perform his wife’s surgery for free?”
Han Shangrong had a smile, but his eyes were a little gloomy. “If Shen Shaofeng’s wife is cured, it’s hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t change his mind.”
“Don’t worry about that, President Han. I’ve known Shaofeng for many years. Once he’s decided on something, he won’t change his mind.”
Xia Zhixin patted his chest and guaranteed, “Shaofeng doesn’t want to rely on any investment. Instead, he wants to expand his own mobile phone brand. Due to that, he’ll never cooperate with the Sang family.”
“Is that so? I’ve underestimated Shen Shaofeng.”
Han Shangrong’s eyes flickered, and he smiled. “But as long as he doesn’t work with the Sang family, that’s for the best.”
…
Sang Qianqian had no intention of listening further and left with her heart beating rapidly.
When she arrived in the living room, she b.u.mped into Han Tianyi and the others. Xia Sitong had already changed her clothes and said uneasily, “I still have something to do, so I’d like to return earlier.”
“Do you need me to call your dad?” Han Tianyi didn’t ask her to stay.
Xia Sitong hesitated for a moment, “No need. I’ll head back first and send him a message.”
Xia Zhixin said he had something to discuss with Han Shangrong today, so she didn’t want to disturb him.
“Then, I’ll arrange for a car to send you.” Han Tianyi was about to go to the butler.
“It’s fine. I’ll send her home.” Sang Qianqian said. “I want to go back earlier too.”
Wen Xu and Han Tianyi said in unison, “How can we do that?!”
“My stomach isn’t feeling well, so I want to go home and rest.” Sang Qianqian’s period had arrived, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Wen Xu and Han Tianyi had no choice but to send Sang Qianqian and Xia Sitong to the car.
In the car, Xia Sitong had her head lowered the entire time. Only when she got out of the car did she give a swift ‘Thank you.’ before walking away quickly.
Sang Qianqian was both amused and confused. She wasn’t as scary as Ding Aojia, so why was Xia Sitong always acting like a mouse when facing her?
Just as she was about to order the chauffeur to start the car, she realized a phone was in the back seat. Xia Sitong had left her phone in the car.
She hurriedly got out of the car and entered the district to chase after Xia Sitong.
The night was getting darker, and the shadows of the trees could be seen in the community. Furthermore, The lights were very dim.
Sang Qianqian chased after her at a decent speed, but she couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Xia Sitong’s shadow.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard small whimpers coming from behind a few bushes.
Sang Qianqian ran over with large strides. Blood rushed to her head when she saw the scene in the shrubbery.
Xia Sitong was being pressed down on the ground by a man, her mouth covered as she struggled with all her might!
In desperation, Sang Qianqian rushed over and smacked the man’s head with her phone.
The man winced in pain and let go of Xia Sitong. Sang Qianqian took the chance to pull her up, “Hurry up and leave!”
“Little girls, let’s see where you can run to!”
The man was probably drunk, as his breath reeked of alcohol. He chased after the two while cursing.
Sang Qianqian didn’t dare to turn back as she pulled Xia Sitong along and ran for her life.
