Chapter 200: Jealousy Is In The Air
At the thought of the girl whose facial features and charm were similar to hers, Su Wan bit her lip. She didn’t know why but her heart sank.
Although Jiang Xuecheng said he had no feelings for Sheng An’ning, Sheng An’ning’s feeling for Jiang Xuecheng, on the other hand, was obviously beyond the relations.h.i.+p of a brother and sister.
Even in her words, one could make out that Sheng An’ning was full of admiration for Jiang Xuecheng.
As Jiang Xuecheng’s wife, Su Wan felt uncomfortable.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan keeping silent, he knew immediately that Su Wan’s emotions were negative. It looked like Su Wan hadn’t been able to let go of Sheng An’ning’s call that day.
Jiang Xuecheng s.h.i.+fted his eyes onto Xu Ziyao. With an indifferent and sharp voice, he said, “Haoxuan and An’ning are not little children. They know how to get back here.”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s heartless words, Xu Ziyao frowned.
She knew her eldest son was cold in nature but she only requested him to pick Jiang Haoxuan and Sheng An’ning from the airport as one was his biological little brother and the other was the little sister he grew up with!
How could he refuse such a trivial matter?
Xu Ziyao examined Jiang Xuecheng’s distant look and finally used a different way to convince him.
“Wan, you’ve not met Haoxuan and An’ning yet, have you? Your age is similar to theirs. I’m sure all of you can be friends very quickly.”
Before Xu Ziyao could finish her sentence, Jiang Xuecheng interrupted her coldly, “Mother, if there’s nothing else, Wan Wan and I would like to go back to Fontainebleau now.”
Xu Ziyao froze. When Su Wan saw Xu Ziyao’s look, she couldn’t bear to hurt her.
No matter what, Xu Ziyao was Jiang Xuecheng’s mother. There wasn’t a need for the two of them to get so tense.
Su Wan walked toward Xu Ziyao immediately with an apologetic look, “Mother, Xuecheng and I would like to take our leave first. On the day Haoxuan and An’ning return, Xuecheng and I will pick them up from the airport.”
Both Xu Ziyao and Jiang Xuecheng were stunned with what Su Wan said.
Jiang Xuecheng was especially stunned. He knew very well Su Wan was not comfortable with Sheng An’ning liking him. He did not expect Su Wan to offer to pick Sheng An’ning and Jiang Haoxuan up.
Xu Ziyao regained her senses first. She darted a look at the girl with straight black hair. This was the first time she felt it wasn’t a bad thing for Jiang Xuecheng to marry Su Wan. At least, this daughter-in-law of hers was more likeable than her son.
The cold light in Xu Ziyao’s eyes finally faded and she became warmer.
“Mm, I’ll inform you of their arrival time beforehand.”
As Xu Ziyao spoke, she held Su Wan’s hand and her tone was serious and sincere. “Wan, Xuecheng is very stubborn. He’ll never change his mind if he has chosen you. You and Xuecheng must live your lives well, okay?”
Xu Ziyao was an extremely smart woman. She could sense Su Wan’s unnatural look the minute she mentioned Sheng An’ning.
To Xu Ziyao, Jiang Xuecheng had not responded to Sheng An’ning’s love for him in the past and she believed it would be more impossible in the future.
Although there were many misunderstanding between Xu Ziyao and Jiang Xuecheng, she knew her son very well. Since he had married Su Wan, it meant Su Wan had an extraordinary position in his heart.
Su Wan did not sense Xu Ziyao’s hint. She pursed her lips and smile. Her voice was light as she replied, “Alright, thank you for your reminder, Mother. Xuecheng and I will live our lives well. You must take good care of yourself too, Mother.”
Xu Ziyao nodded. Just as she wanted to urge Su Wan further, Jiang Xuecheng, who was waiting by the side, showed a face of impatience.
He tugged Su Wan’s hand and brought her out toward the car at the entrance.
When Xu Ziyao saw how her son was reluctant to stay even for a minute longer, she was stunned and her eyes became misty.
Watching the black car leave, Xu Ziyao sighed.
When Luo Xiuxiu saw Xu Ziyao’s upset look, she tapped on her shoulder. “Ziyao, our children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Isn’t it good that Xuecheng is like this now?”
Xu Ziyao unconsciously looked up and turned around faintly. “I hope so. I just wish Xuecheng could be safe and happy all his life.”
This son of hers had been through plenty of torture when he was young. She hoped everything would go smoothly for him in the future.
***
Jiang Xuecheng started the car and they drove out of the boundary of Jiang family’s old mansion. After taking a turning at the corner, they drove into a broad road.
Su Wan looked at the dim lights in the night. Her pretty eyes laxed and she looked like she had a heavy load on her mind.
Jiang Xuecheng turned the steering wheel quietly and s.h.i.+fted his eyes to the little woman beside him who was s.p.a.cing out.
“Wan Wan, why did you agree to pick those two up from the airport?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan turned her face toward him and a smile appeared on her cheeks. “You call your little brother and the girl you grew up with ‘those two’?”
“Why not? You, on the other hand, aren’t related to them but agreed to pick them up.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice remained calm and his eyes were deep and unpredictable.
Su Wan started to explain. “No matter what, whoever is related to you will be related to me. We will meet sooner or later. Moreover, I wish to see her…”
Su Wan was silent for a moment and her eyes looked serious.
“Actually, I’m curious about the girl called Sheng An’ning. She’s very pretty and talented. She can play both the cello and guqin. The next person that Phoenix Entertainment and Media Company would promote should be her?”
Phoenix Entertainment and Media Company was the entertainment industry under Di Chen Group. As Beitong’s project was linked to the movie Nirvana of Phoenix, Su Wan had gone to Beitong to collect some information and she heard people discussing about Sheng An’ning.
Luo Xiuxiu had mentioned to Su Wan before that Sheng An’ning wanted to be a famous celebrity.
Although Su Wan and Sheng An’ning only had a short conversation through the phone, Su Wan had a deep impression of her.
This girl who looked like her had an ethereal and pleasant voice. She indeed was made to be a great singer.
As Su Wan was thinking, her beautiful and exquisite face became dull. Although she had never met her rival in love, she knew Sheng An’ning was an outstanding person.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s jealousy, his lips curved into a smile which was hard to hide.
“What are you laughing at?”
Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s laughter and couldn’t help glaring at Jiang Xuecheng.
“I’m laughing at someone who is jealous and she’s jealous without reason. Her whole body reeks of jealousy and it feels like the smell of jealousy is spreading in my car too…”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s elegant voice, Su Wan rolled her eyes. This man’s mouth was filthy!
It made her wish to hit him!
