r. "Was it you who deliberately locked the rooftop door"Lin Tianting looked up and arrogantly said, "Do you have evidence Don't talk nonsense if you don't!"Zhou Miao has already come back, she is also...Being pressed against by Meng Lan's intoxicating presence, Xiang Wan felt uncomfortable all over. She could only shift closer to He Hanchuan. Her body heat passed through their clothes and onto him, causing his Adam's apple to bob as he drained his teacup. However, the thirst still lingered.

Wawen didn't notice his abnormality. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but just opened her mouth without saying anything.

"Just tell Mr. Feng to make sure the other directors don't change their minds." He Hanchuan stood up and reached for An Wan, "As for my aunt and the others, I'll take care of them."

Meng Lan winked at him flirtatiously, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Relax, with someone like him who's cold-blooded, ruthless, and only cares about profit, he wouldn't let go of a money-making machine like you to hire some lucky cat,"

She walked to the cupboard, took out the newly acquired tea, and placed it in front of him.

"It's too expensive, no." He glanced at it and said briefly.

"..."Meng Lan angrily shoved the tea into his arms. "Here you go!"

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Xiang Wan and said seriously: “You can consider my suggestion.”

Before Xiang Wan could answer, He Hanchuan spoke first: "Just mind your own business. I'm leaving."

When the words left her mouth, she was already pulling on A-Wai's hand and walking away.

Dream Orchid stared at the empty doorway, so angry she wanted to take back that can of tea!

Towards Evening was dragged down the stairs by He Hánchuan. After getting in the car, she finally made up her mind, "I want to go back home."

To be precise, it wasn't about returning home, but about going to the Xiang Group.

Whether it's Old Master He, He Hanchuan, or Jiang Qingran, they can control her life. Besides being too foolish, there is also the fact that their power far surpasses hers.

The Xiang Group pales in comparison to the He Group, and even lags behind the Jiang Group. If she becomes the head of the Xiang Group, or helps her brother become the head, they'll have to think twice before making a move against them.

"You don't have to pay attention to Meng Lan's words." He Hanchuan started the car, his brows furrowed slightly, his voice cool.

"Lan Jie's suggestion is no problem." Xiang Wan said calmly, "I can't rely on you alone."

He then extinguished the fire, turned sideways to look at her, and slowly said, "I disagree."

"Why disagree" Xiangwan asked, frowning.

He avoided her gaze, "Your leg will be better in a while. You can go back to school then. Which university do you want to go to The same one as before"

"If you don't look at me, I can't run away. Like I said before, with your grandfather, my father, and Jiang Qingran, there's no way I could escape."

"And you always say you'll protect me, can you really protect me"

"If you could really protect me, you wouldn't have been blackmailed two years ago, and you wouldn't have to threaten your grandfather with a knife this time to stop him from sending me to prison, would you" Xiang Wan asked.

Ge Hanchuan didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed his disagreement.

“I didn’t accept you before because I hated you, but now I don’t accept you because I’m afraid of falling in love with you again. What if you change your mind or misunderstand me I wouldn’t have the strength to fight it, just like two years ago.”

"But if I were to really do something in the Xiang Group, with a little backing... maybe... I wouldn't be afraid." By the last sentence, Xiang Wan's butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered unnaturally a few times.

Ge Hanchuan stared at her, his deep eyes like a vortex, as if trying to pull her into the abyss.

A-Wai only met his gaze for a moment before she felt uncomfortable all over. She then turned her head, wanting to avoid his eyes.

"Are you serious" He held her face in both hands, forcing her to look at him.

His expression was the same as usual, but Xiang Wan could feel his hand trembling slightly. At this moment, she couldn't tell what she felt inside.

At that moment, when she wanted to strangle him, he hadn't struggled at all. Now, he was… afraid

"Answer me, is that true" He Hanchuan asked again, this time his voice trembled slightly.

Towards the evening pulled down his hand, hummed softly in response, and fastened her seatbelt.

"I remembered what you said today." He Hanchuan stepped on the accelerator, "You better not lie to me."

Sipping her drink, Xiangwan turned her head to look out the window. "What if I lied to you"

He stared with a flash of his eyes but didn't speak.

This time, the two of them didn't go back to Heshi Group, but went to the supermarket first to buy a lot of things.

Since the two of them are still trending on Weibo, many people are discussing them. Some enthusiastic aunties even came to comfort Xiang Wan, telling her to look on the bright side and that the dark days are over.

When the two of them went out, besides the things they bought, there was also a scallion given by an old man, a hand warmer given by a high school girl, and a pair of reading glasses given by a grandmother.

"You young whippersnapper, you haven't got my experience yet! Take these glasses I'm giving you, and don't make mistakes anymore!"

This is what Grandma said.

向晚 wasn't really used to strangers' enthusiasm, she basically avoided everyone she could. Only these three people were impossible to refuse, so she reluctantly accepted them.

When the two returned to Zhu Xian Zhuang, a Land Rover was already parked outside the villa.

Toward Evening, looking at the familiar license plate number, her face slowly lost its flush.

"Don't be too nervous." He Hanchuan faced her, helping to tidy up the stray hair. "If you don't know how to answer, just stay quiet, leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man walked out. He glanced at the two of them and said expressionlessly, "Please come in."

Upon finishing his words, he bowed to the two of them politely.

向晚 pursed her lips and followed He Hanchuan into the villa.

In the living room, Old Master He sat there with a broadsword, his complexion not looking good due to the worsening cancer. His aged face was tinged with gloom.

When he saw the two people enter, he let out a heavy snort and said in a strange tone: "You two are really getting more and more capable!"

向晚 lowered her head, eyes downcast and feigning ignorance.

"Right now, I have no shares, nor am I the CEO of He Group. Plus, I'm being investigated by the police for economic crimes. Anyone can walk all over me." He Hanchuan said, "I honestly don't know what makes me so great."

Slap!

Master He stood up, grabbed a cup directly, and hurled it at Master He Hanchuan with a menacing look.

Han Chuan dodged his head, narrowly avoiding the cup. The cup crashed to the ground with a clatter, shattering into several pieces.

"You dare to hide even now!" Lord He's face was stormy.

Ge Hanchuan wiped the water droplets off his suit, "I endured your insults and abuse before because I was afraid you would take my shares and force me to resign as CEO. Now that you've done both, and even tampered with the accounts to have the police investigate me, what do I have left to lose"

He lifted his head, looked at Old Master He, and smiled faintly, “Isn’t that so, Grandfather”
