Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Looming Danger (8 Updates)
"Really, where?" Xu Niannian’s eyes flashed with joy when she heard he had seen her.
The waiter pointed sincerely at her, "You..."
Xu Niannian: "..."
The waiter had only heard Xu Niannian mention a very beautiful girl, and automatically filtered out the rest.
After looking around, Xu Niannian could not find Zuo Qing. The restaurant was only so big, and she had even checked the restrooms.
Zuo Qing liked Jin Ruiyang, and today Jin Ruiyang and Xu Sisi were getting engaged. She would definitely be heartbroken.
Xu Niannian was somewhat worried about her.
Having searched for a long time without success, Xu Niannian had no choice but to go back, but she couldn’t shake the concern inside her.
She later thought that since Zuo Qing hadn’t drunk any alcohol today, she probably wouldn’t have gotten into any trouble.
"What have you been doing? Why were you gone for so long?"
It was drizzling outside, and Xu Niannian had only been out for a short while, returning with her hair dripping with water droplets. Jin Yu saw her and simply took off his coat, draping it over Xu Niannian’s head: "Dry yourself, I’ll drive."
The coat Jin Yu wore had been made by Xu Niannian, with a layer of rabbit fur inside, very warm.
Directly using it to dry her hair, Xu Niannian felt pained, yet happy.
"I went to find something," Xu Niannian didn’t mention she was looking for Zuo Qing, to avoid Jin Ruiyang overthinking.
Zuo Qing hadn’t left with Xu Wentian and the old lady because Xu Sisi was there too, but she didn’t want to worry Xu Wentian either.
She specifically told Xu Wentian that she needed to go back to the shop to deal with some matters.
The Xu family ran many jade shops, each with a considerable size, and all with rest rooms inside.
Xu Wentian knew she wasn’t feeling well but didn’t know how to comfort her, so he let her be, hoping that a walk would do her good.
Balancing his own granddaughter and the foster daughter who had stayed by his side, Xu Wentian had long treated Zuo Qing as his own daughter.
The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh; Xu Wentian couldn’t favor one over the other, he could only let the younger generation make their own choices.
After speaking with Xu Wentian, Zuo Qing left the restaurant, wandering aimlessly and even took a bottle of white wine with her from there.
The sky drizzled with a persistent light rain, Zuo Qing looked up at the haze-enveloped heavens.
The banquet had started early, so even though it was now night, the sky had not yet turned completely dark.
A wash of grey white, just like her current mood.
When she reached the bridgehead, Zuo Qing stopped for a while, finished the wine, and then dizzily headed down a small path.
This secluded path was not frequented, and Zuo Qing, with her gentle and moving beauty, exhibited the elegance characteristic of a great family’s lady in every gesture.
It wasn’t very obvious—it was a kind of gentleness etched into her very bones.
A beauty to be longed for, like the misty rain of Jiangnan.
In the elite circles, Zuo Qing could attract countless outstanding men from great families, not to mention the crude men in the streets below.
The small path that Zuo Qing took, there was a construction crew nearby.
A few workers had worked late, had a hard day, and didn’t have a nice word to say.
"Damn it, haven’t been paid for two months, and still so arrogant, pisses me off! Brothers, let’s beat that son of a bitch to death."
"Shuanzi, calm down, calm down, what are you so agitated about? It’s not like they’re not going to pay, and we’re not that broke yet, don’t worry. We’ve done the work, they wouldn’t dare not to pay. Besides, with so many of us brothers, if he really dares not to pay, he’ll have to weigh his chances. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone us—if we get anxious, he won’t enjoy the consequences either."
