Chapter 1552: Know Him Well or Not?
The material was thick and not a bit of wind could penetrate through. In northern places like B City, this coat was good enough to battle the cold until December, both in style and in warmth.
However, the exposed areas of her skin were beyond chilled.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s neck was exposed, and the wind blew down her neck, making her s.h.i.+ver.
She stuffed both hands in the coat pocket after lifting her collar higher, then shrunk further into her jacket.
“You know Young Master Ling very well?” A female voice rang from her side.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya frowned at its rudeness and abruptness.
Identifying her voice, she turned and saw it was indeed Jiang Yuhan.
Jiang Yuhan’s a.s.sistant was behind her.
But s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was alone, and she looked alone and weak in the scene.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, however, wasn’t afraid of Jiang Yuhan. She raised her brow and asked sarcastically, “I thought Ms. Jiang had left earlier.”
Jiang Yuhan had been the first to leave after facing Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli.
Followed by Ma Xianghuan and Lian Fang, after they had said their goodbyes, and then Shao Yuqi and the others.
After so many rounds, Jiang Yuhan should have left by now no matter how slow she moved.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya observed her. Jiang Yuhan seemed to have stayed back specifically just to ask her this question.
Hearing s.h.i.+ Xiaoya call her “Ms. Jiang” made Jiang Yuhan smile coldly. She was calling her “Teacher Jiang” so nicely just now, and now it’s Ms. Jiang.
She’s so arrogant just because she’s on good terms with Lu Man!
“You know Young Master Ling?” Jiang Yuhan asked again.
She was really insistent on the question.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya thought she didn’t have the obligation to satisfy Jiang Yuhan’s curiosity, so she replied coolly, “I do.”
Jiang Yuhan’s gaze sharpened, and she asked in annoyance, “Very well?”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya brushed her off. “We’ve worked together before.”
“So do you know him well or not?” Jiang Yuhan asked rudely.
She urgently wanted a straight answer from s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
Actually, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s answers already implied that she wasn’t close to Han Zhuoling.
But Jiang Yuhan just wanted s.h.i.+ Xiaoya to say it explicitly, to prove it with her own words.
Not bothering to answer her, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya reb.u.t.ted, “What has it got to do with you?”
“Yeah, I don’t know him well, but are you going to make yourself close to him?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya mocked her openly.
Jiang Yuhan’s gaze was extremely cold—s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had officially offended her to the max today.
But since s.h.i.+ Xiaoya wasn’t close to Han Zhuoling, then she could relax.
Just then, Jiang Yuhan’s car arrived.
Jiang Yuhan scoffed at s.h.i.+ Xiaoya with contempt before entering her car.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya didn’t care one bit about Jiang Yuhan’s att.i.tude.
Not long after, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya spotted Han Zhuoling’s car.
When he stopped, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya hurriedly got on.
The heater was on, and when she entered, the warmth hit her at once, making her relax comfortably.
Perhaps she stood outside in the cold for too long, the sudden change in temperature made her face a furious red.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya took out her hands from her pockets and flexed them.
Han Zhuoling saw and asked, “Why didn’t you wait inside?”
There was a heater indoors. She wouldn’t have been as cold.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”
She had forgotten.
Han Zhuoling asked her to wait and she foolishly waited outside, not even thinking of going indoors.
“Forgot,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya replied honestly.
She couldn’t tell what Han Zhuoling was thinking, but he actually chuckled.
