Chapter 232 Pursuit
Lu Xunzhou had already understood what was going on, so he stopped talking. Jiang Wan met Fu Chi's gaze, looked at him for two seconds, and then said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Lao. I'm fine."
Her voice was as soft as ever, her tone was soft as well, and her pair of dark, clear eyes looked particularly obedient when she looked at people, so obedient that people were reluctant to look away.
If Fu Chi hadn't known that she seemed to have the same attitude towards everyone, he would have almost thought that she had never shown any sign of alienation towards him.
He tried his best to suppress the stuffiness and restlessness in his chest. After a moment of silence, he wanted to say something, but the girl suddenly stood up, picked up her vibrating cell phone and signaled to them.
"I have to go out and take a call. Excuse me. You guys chat first."
Who called?
After several figures flashed through his mind almost instantly, Fu Chi lowered his eyelashes and his eyes became darker.
On the other side, Jiang Wan answered the phone after leaving the private room. A hoarse voice soon sounded from the other end: "Sorry, I didn't have time to call you this afternoon, so I canceled the meeting tonight on WeChat."
Jiang Wan walked halfway through the corridor and found a bench to sit down. Hearing this, his eyebrows slightly curved: "It's okay. I hadn't left when you sent the message, and I happened to have other things to do later."
Shen Yan made an appointment with her to meet tonight on the phone last night and sent her the address of the restaurant. She agreed immediately.
That's why when Gu Ying said that Wang Yan wanted to arrange a dinner together tonight, she was still thinking that something unfortunate had happened tonight. As a result, just when she found Wang Yan's phone number on the list and was about to explain to her, she received a message from Shen Yan saying that he had something urgent to do and might not be able to leave for the time being.
After that, she just went with the flow and went straight to the restaurant with Gu Ying.
As for Shen Yan... the man's voice on the other end of the phone was even lower and deeper than usual.
"That's good."
After a pause, he continued, "Do you have time tomorrow night?"
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "There should be one. Is it the restaurant you sent me?"
Shen Yan denied it, "No."
"Tomorrow is my grandfather's 70th birthday. He has been keeping a low profile for so many years and has never organized anything. This time it was just a sudden idea of our family to have a lively celebration."
Jiang Wan lowered her eyelashes, thinking of what Xie Heng had said about Mr. Shen that night, and she understood something, and then she heard him say:
"Jiang Wan, my grandfather likes to get along with young people, but you know my personality. I don't have many close friends."
"So, if it's convenient, I'll pick you up tomorrow night. You don't have to stay long, just take a look, okay?"
Shen Yan had never asked her for anything in the past, so Jiang Wan would certainly not refuse such a small thing.
"Of course, it's my honor that you invited me."
The man on the other end hummed softly, and whispered in the noisy and unclear voice: "I'll pick you up tomorrow night."
Jiang Wan: "Okay."
Jiang Wan was about to hang up the phone, but before she could finish her words, Shen Yan seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right."
He paused, his voice becoming hoarse: "That person will come too."
Jiang Wan was stunned and still didn't react: "Who?"
"Shao Ting."
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment, but Shen Yan just said one sentence and hung up the phone.
"If you don't want to run into him, I'll arrange for you to avoid him."
Shen Yan obviously didn't know that she had left Shao's. Without knowing her exact situation, he thought it was nothing strange that she didn't want to meet Shao Ting.
In fact, Jiang Wan doesn’t mind meeting Shao Ting now, she just thinks about it more.
If Shao Ting had come back specially from Jiang City, then given the familiar attitudes of Shen Yan and Xie Heng last time, the Xie family would naturally not be absent.
It would be fine if I met Shao Ting, I just hope that I don’t meet anyone I shouldn’t meet at the same time.

The meal was almost finished when Jiang Wan left the private room. When she finished her call and came back, everyone stood up at the same time and said goodbye.
On the way here, Gu Ying had mentioned to Jiang Wan that she would go back to her home in the evening. Coincidentally, her home was not far from the hotel and could be reached in a few minutes' walk.
Now that it's night and the rain is getting more and more intense, it's much faster to walk than to take a taxi.
So she said goodbye and left first with an umbrella.
Knowing that it is very difficult to get a taxi in Beijing at this time, Jiang Wan opened the taxi app and started queuing when he walked out of the private room.
Just as she expected, Tan Zheng and Lu Xunzhou were both typical second-generation rich people. They drove over separately. Both of them had keenly noticed something unusual while they were having dinner, so naturally they didn't dare to mention whether they wanted to give her a ride.
After the two drove away one after another, Fu Chi walked to her side and whispered, "I'll take you home and we can talk, okay?"
Jiang Wan raised her eyes to look at him, then quickly lowered her head.
"Don't bother. It's very convenient for me to take a taxi back."
Fu Chi stared at her face, and he pulled his lips helplessly when he heard her words: "Jiang Wan, I'm not a bad person, I just gave you a ride, I won't do anything to you."
"I just want to take this opportunity to ask you how I have offended you and why you are avoiding me so much."
The sound of rain around them became louder and louder. Jiang Wan was silent for a moment before she turned off her phone and looked up at him.
"Senior Fu Chi, I don't remember when I ever said you had offended me."
Her tone was very indifferent, but her eyes seemed particularly moist and clear in the rainy night, and when she looked straight at him, it seemed as if she could penetrate his heart.
Fu Chi looked at her for two seconds and felt that all the inexplicable suffocation and astringency were completely dissipated at this moment, and were replaced by some more difficult to suppress emotions.
He rolled his throat slightly, and opened his mouth after a long time: "If I really haven't offended you in any way, then in the future, can you... give me a chance to pursue you?"
She left Shaw, which was the only good news he had heard in recent times.
He had no intention of giving up the idea from the beginning to the end, but he was somewhat hesitant because he didn't know what kind of private relationship Jiang Wan and Shao Ting had.
He couldn't act rashly until he was sure he had enough chips.
As for Xie Heng...
Fu Chi knew very well that a family like the Xie family would not allow Xie Hengzhen to lose his sense of propriety because of a woman.
Now that she has left Shaw, and he has cut off all ties, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could wait for Jiang Wan's reply, a male voice with a hint of deep meaning came from behind him.
"Miss Jiang?"
This voice is not unfamiliar.
Fu Chi slowly frowned and turned around almost at the same time as Jiang Wan, only to meet an exceptionally tall and gentle figure.
A gleam of light flashed under the thin glasses of the visitor, but the smile on the corner of his lips was indescribably gentle: "It's really you, Miss Jiang."
"I just told my husband that you look like me, and I was right."
