155 Dumped With a Face Full of Dog Food
“Miss Sang’s social circle seems to be quite complicated.”
Guo Muyang weighed the bullet in his hand and guessed, “Hanyu, do you think this person is your love rival? Otherwise, why would they ask you to stay away from Miss Sang?”
Shen Hanyu’s status was clear, but the other party still dared to use a gun.
The person behind all this was either a person with high status, or a criminal.
The latter would be easier to deal with. If it was the former one, Hanyu wouldn’t let go, but the other party would be just as stubborn.
It would be quite troublesome if they were to face each other.
Hearing the word ‘love rival’, Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened and his thin lips pursed into a line. He did not say anything.
Sang Qianqian had once said that other than him, she only had one other boyfriend, Xie Shi’an. They had broken up after dating for a day, and Xie Shi’an was the one who had done it.
However, that day at Ming City University, Xie Shi’an held Sang Qianqian’s hand at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Moreover, at Guo Dingsong’s 50th birthday banquet, Xie Shi’an clearly looked at Sang Qianqian with an unspeakable affection. So, what was the inside story behind his sudden breakup, resignation, and disappearance from Yuecheng?
“How did Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaoshuang know each other?”
“Why would he choose a birthday present for Uncle Guo on behalf of the Ruan family?” Shen Hanyu asked.
“Xie Shi’an has a biological sister who was once a lover of Xiaoshuang’s big brother, Ruan Cheng.”
Guo Muyang thought of the secrets of the rich and powerful he had heard from his father and sighed. “Speaking of which, Xie Shi’an is quite pitiful. Isn’t the Xie family one of the big families in Beijing? However, Xie Shi’an and his sister’s birth mother came from a very low family background. She seemed to be a restaurant waitress and pa.s.sed away not long after giving birth to the siblings. Moreover, Xie Shi’an and his sister weren’t valued by the Xie family, so their days had been particularly hard. I don’t know how they got to know the Ruan family, but they have been living there ever since. A few years ago, his sister pa.s.sed away and entrusted him to Ruan Cheng. Ever since, Ruan Cheng had been taking good care of him. The last time he came to Ming City, he was here to celebrate my dad’s birthday on behalf of Ruan Cheng.”
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly. “Go investigate what Xie Shi’an did during the few days he was in Ming City.”
Guo Muyang’s face was full of disbelief. “You suspect that Xie Shi’an is related to this shooting?”
“Who else would be my love rival? As far as I’m aware, he’s the only one.”
Shen Hanyu glanced at him and with dimmed eyes. “Besides, don’t you think that it’s a little unnecessary for Xie Shi’an to come to Ming City when Ruan Xiaoshuang is already here on the Ruan family’s behalf?”
Guo Muyang thought about it and agreed. “Sure, I’ll personally investigate Xie Shi’an.”
Although he felt that Xie Shi’an looked like a refined and handsome man, he shouldn’t be so bold as to do something like shooting. However, since it was related to Hanyu’s safety, he would rather make a mistake than miss it.

That night, apart from Shen Hanyu, Guo Muyang also came to pick up Sang Qianqian.
“Hanyu’s car broke down. It was sent to the repair shop.”
Guo Muyang explained as soon as he saw her. “I’m here to talk to Hanyu, so I’ll give you a ride.”
Sang Qianqian did not think too much about it. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Vice President Guo.”
She got into the back seat, where Shen Hanyu was sitting.
Because of that dream last night, Sang Qianqian hasn’t slept much. Today, she had been busy at school the entire day, so she looked a little haggard and her head was heavy.
After talking to Shen Hanyu about their departure to Yuecheng tomorrow, she felt like sleeping.
Her eyelids felt so heavy that they could close at any moment. She could not hold it any longer. “Hanyu, I’m going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we arrive.”
“Sure,” Shen Hanyu nodded.
It wasn’t very comfortable to sleep in the back seat. The car pa.s.sed a pothole on the road and jolted.
Sang Qianqian was just about to fall asleep when she was jolted to the side. She opened her eyes in a daze and adjusted her position.
“Come sit over here.” Shen Hanyu looked at her from the side and said in a low and loving voice, “Lean against me.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t see Guo Muyang as an outsider. Besides, she was only leaning on Shen Hanyu’s shoulder for a short nap, so it wasn’t anything too personal.
“Okay,” She replied and moved toward Shen Hanyu, half-leaning on his right arm.
However, she didn’t notice that Shen Hanyu’s brows furrowed slightly. He gritted his teeth, but he did not move.
Her position was coincidentally on his injury.
Shen Hanyu could tolerate it, but Guo Muyang couldn’t. “Miss Sang, let’s have a chat. You don’t have to sleep.”
Sang Qianqian raised her head in surprise. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Ignore him,” Shen Hanyu said gently. “Go back to sleep.”
Guo Muyang was speechless. He had just bandaged the bullet wound this morning, but he already dared to let someone lean on him at night?
Was he going to sacrifice his arm for a woman?
Fortunately, Sang Qianqian did not listen to Shen Hanyu. “What does Vice President Guo want to talk to me about?” She asked.
Guo Muyang thought of the information he had found about Xie Shi’an in the afternoon and blurted out, “Let’s talk about Xie Shi’an.”
As soon as he said this, the air in the car fell silent for a few seconds.
Shen Hanyu’s cold eyes swept past Guo Muyang. “Guo Muyang, don’t you think you’re talking a little too much today?”
Guo Muyang smiled. “I’m just curious. You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, Miss Sang.”
“There’s nothing we can’t talk about,” Sang Qianqian said lightly. “What do you want to ask, Vice President Guo?”
“I heard that he used to be your boyfriend.” Guo Muyang asked, “How is he?”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment and gave an objective evaluation, “He has superb skills, a good sense of propriety, and a good temperament. He’s also gentle and modest.”
Of course, the matter of him breaking up with her was an exception. That was not considered within the boundaries.
But overall, after knowing Xie Shi’an for four years, he was indeed worthy of these comments.
Before she could finish her sentence, the handsome man’s face beside her had turned cold, and his breath became heavier.
“Oh,” Guo Muyang replied and asked directly, “Does he still like Miss Sang? If he were to pursue Miss Sang again, you wouldn’t turn back, right?”
The first part was what he wanted to ask, and the second part, well, was just a question on behalf of Hanyu.
“Whether he likes it or not, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”
Sang Qianqian looked at the man with an unsightly expression beside her. She could clearly feel the temperature around her drop by several degrees.
She reached out and quietly held Shen Hanyu’s hand. She was answering Guo Muyang, but her eyes were on Shen Hanyu.
“My husband is more than a hundred times better than him. I’d be crazy to turn back.”
In the dimly lit car, the two of them looked at each other. Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes seemed to be shining.
Sang Qianqian coughed and turned her head away in time.
If it weren’t for Guo Muyang in front of her, she suspected that Shen Hanyu would have held her face and kissed her on the spot.
Every time he looked at her with that gaze, she wouldn’t be able to escape his kiss.
Guo Muyang, who was driving in front, was caught off guard and almost choked to death.
Now this was really asking for a beating. If he had known, he wouldn’t have asked that question.

Beijing, the Ruan family.
On the soft couch, a man with deep and dark eyes held a cup of hot tea and listened indifferently to the people around him reporting the situation in Ming City.
