Chapter 235: What If She Hated You?
Sheng An’ning stood in front of the curtain quietly. She had a faint smile on her face and her peach blossom-like eyes glowed.
It was a beautiful picture without a need for words.
Gu Zihang looked at Sheng An’ning, who was staring at him. With her face against the light, Gu Zihang could not make out her current emotions.
Gu Zihang’s thin lips pursed into a straight line. He was silent for a while before he said, “I don’t like people who are late and I naturally won’t be late.”
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and sat down.
Seeing how the handsome and tall figure walked past her, Sheng An’ning smiled coldly. He was indeed not courteous!
Sheng An’ning looked down and started walking. She then sat down opposite Gu Zihang.
When she looked up again, her smile was as bright as flowers.
“What would you like to drink? Is Jin Junmei black tea to your taste?”
Gu Zihang looked faintly at Sheng An’ning. “I’m fine with anything.”
Sheng An’ning seemed not to have noticed the strange atmosphere between them. She stretched out her fair palms and took a white ceramic cup from the table calmly. Then, she started pouring tea for Gu Zihang.
She made tea in a very elegant way and it was a kind of enjoyment just watching her do so.
“Ms. Sheng, are you fond of drinking tea?”
Gu Zihang glanced at Sheng An’ning’s beautiful tea making posture and curiosity arose in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Sheng An’ning smiled faintly. “No, but Brother Xuecheng likes it.”
Jin Junmei black tea was one of Jiang Xuecheng’s favorite types of tea. Besides drinking tea, Jiang Xuecheng loved coffee.
Besides these two beverages, no other beverages were to his liking.
When Gu Zihang heard this, he pursed his lips and looked at Sheng An’ning.
“So, you’ve liked the young master for many years but he finally chose Wan. That’s too bad.”
Sheng An’ning’s hand holding the tea cup loosened. She had not missed Gu Zihang’s sarcasm.
The same mocking smile appeared on Sheng An’ning’s pretty face. She looked steadily at Gu Zihang.
“What do you mean, Mr. Gu? Are you laughing at me for not being able to s.n.a.t.c.h Xuecheng? Have you forgotten that you’re not in a better position than I am? I heard that your ex-wife …”
“Enough!”
Gu Zihang’s brows straightened. He stood up and an unconcealed hostility flashed through his sharp eyes.
Su Yurou had now become an unforgettable disgrace in his heart.
Which man could bear to have his wife derail?
Gu Zihang was sure that Jiang Xuecheng must be the person behind this incident since it was not Su Wan.
If Gu Zihang was the first person to know about Su Yurou and the male beautician reserving a room, he would definitely not let news spread. Then, he could divorce Su Yurou by giving an excuse that they were incompatible.
However, Jiang Xuecheng had publicized the scandal of Su Yurou and the male beautician by means of various media!
How could he not be angry?
Everyone had their dignity and pride, more so in the upper social circle.
Seriousness crept into Gu Zihang’s eyes and he looked at Sheng An’ning steadily. Meeting his furious look, she had no fear.
Sheng An’ning’s smile remained calm and her dimples were charming.
Suddenly, Gu Zihang recalled Su Wan having dimples when she smiled too. There was a burst of frustration in his mind and he finally sat down across from Sheng An’ning.
Gu Zihang took a light sniff of the tea. He took up the white ceramic cup and slowly drank the Jin Junmei tea.
After drinking tea, Gu Zihang stared at every gesture of Sheng An’ning. There was warning in his tone.
“Ms. Sheng, I don’t like people who beat around the bush. Tell me directly if you have a plan. My time is not used to chat with you on trivial matters.”
Sheng An’ning’s faint smiled froze that instant.
She took a sip of black tea and with a calm look, replied, “Mr. Gu, I think you’d love to see my sis-in-law but you haven’t had the opportunity?”
Upon hearing this, his hands clenched into fists under the table. He had indeed wished to find a chance to talk to Su Wan.
Unfortunately, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were inseparable. Besides them meeting by chance at Weiyang Restaurant the other day, Gu Zihang didn’t know how to ask her out alone.
Sheng An’ning noticed Gu Zihang’s expression and knew she had guessed it correctly. A smile appeared on her face and her eyes were deep and unpredictable.
“What if I could ask her out? When the time comes, you can be the one present…”
Gu Zihang’s handsome face sank. His lips were pursed tightly.
“Ms, Sheng, if Wan sees me instead of you, wouldn’t she be angry?”
Sheng An’ning looked at him sarcastically and knew Gu Zihang was excited about her proposal.
“Mr. Gu, you have to fight for the opportunity yourself. If you’re afraid to see Su Wan, why did you come and meet me today?”
Gu Zihang heard Sheng An’ning’s implicit words and calmly raised his brows.
“What do you mean?”
Sheng An’ning looked steadily at Gu Zihang and answered casually, “I believe other men can’t accept what you can’t accept too.”
Sheng An’ning paused and a distorted and strange smile appeared on her face. “With your intelligence, you don’t need me to teach you what to do next, do you?”
Gu Zihang was visibly moved. His hand holding the white ceramic cup trembled as he was shocked by what Sheng An’ning said.
He actually did not want to make such quick progress with Su Wan. If her really did, he was afraid Su Wan would hate him and by that time, there would be no more return…
Sheng An’ning saw Gu Zihang’s hesitation and snorted coldly in her heart. Initially, she thought she could randomly find a man to destroy Su Wan.
However, no other man was more suitable than Gu Zihang.
When things really happened, she would put all the blame on Gu Zihang. She would say she sympathized with Gu Zihang and thought he only wanted to apologize to Su Wan and so, out of kindness, asked Su Wan out on behalf of Gu Zihang.
As for what Gu Zihang would do after that, she would say that she was not the worms in his stomach, so she couldn’t have predicted it.
“Mr. Gu, are you afraid that Su Wan would hate you?”
Sheng An’ning sneered coldly and the sarcasm in her eyes was thick.
“This method is indeed vicious but this aside, can you ensure that Brother Xuecheng and Su Wan would part? Even if Su Wan hates you, as long as she has nowhere to go, there would be someone who would advise her to accept you.”
Gu Zihang’s deep eyes were fixed on Sheng An’ning’s face and he held the cup tighter.
What Sheng An’ning said was indeed right…
