She hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and motioned to Mr. Qi to open the door with her eyes.

As soon as the door opened, the middle-aged man standing outside was wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that were very incommensurate with his temperament, and his eyes were shone and introverted, and it was really Chen Hongwang, who had not been seen for many days. His gaze fell on Wen Jianning, and then he laughed.

"Third Miss, I haven't seen you for many days, but you make it easy for us to find it. ”

Wen Jianning's gaze also crossed behind him, and unexpectedly saw a few black-clothed men accompanying him, and said very calmly: "I can go with you, but don't embarrass my teacher." ”

"Third Miss may have misunderstood something, I came this time to make friends with Third Miss sincerely, not to be a lobbyist for your aunt," Chen Hongwang said with a smile, turned his head, and said to Mr. Qi next to him very politely, "This lady, can you please leave for a while, I have something to say to this Third Miss Wen." ”

Mr. Qi was unmoved, and even a little angry: "This gentleman, you brought these people to disturb us at night, not to mention for the time being, it would be too rude to stand in my room and drive people away." She saw that her student knew this person, but he was not familiar with him, and the other party might even have a close friendship with the Wen family, so she was extra vigilant.

Chen Hongwang still just smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "This lady, I am looking for Miss Wen San, although you are her elder, can you listen to Miss Wen San and her own opinion first." ”

Although Wen Jianning was reluctant to talk to Chen Hongwang, the situation was obviously that the other party had the upper hand. She looked at the two who were at a stalemate, and said softly, "Sir, you go out first, I'll be fine." ”

Under her persuasion, Mr. Qi finally reluctantly agreed to wait outside the door for a while and let them talk in the living room. Through the thin door panel, she had time to rush in at the slightest movement of the people inside.

As soon as the door closed, Wen Jianning asked politely: "Boss Chen, if you didn't plan to arrest me back, then why did you come to me in person so vigorously?"

Chen Hongwang didn't answer her question, and simply glanced at the furnishings in the room a few times, and then said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the visitor is a guest, since the third lady wants to ask me about my intention, why don't you invite me to sit down." ”

Wen Jianning endured his anger and asked him to sit down, poured a glass of water and put it on the table: "The house is shabby, the tea is poor, and I hope Boss Chen will forgive me." ”

Chen Hongwang sat down before he smiled: "Although I really want to be the first to find the third miss, there are still people who are ahead of me." If it weren't for them to lead the way in front, I'm afraid that it would take two days for me, a latecomer, to come to the door to bother. ”

Wen Jianning's heart fell straight down when he heard this, knowing that what Chen Hongwang was talking about should be the Wen family.

She was still found by the Wen family.

It turned out that after she hastily escaped from Hong Kong with the help of the embroidery girls, Wen Jingshu never found out if anyone in the villa secretly assisted her in escaping, so she was never sure where she went. The Wen family wasted a lot of time in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and even had people check the ships going abroad at various wharves, but to no avail.

It wasn't until finally that they turned their attention to Shanghai.

Although the Wen family is not a big force in Shanghai, it is still easy to find someone.

They found a few gangsters from the Qing Gang to help them search in Shanghai, and it didn't take long for them to set their sights on Mr. Qi, and they were about to arrest Wen Jianning back along the door, but they were stopped by Chen Hongwang's people in time. However, when they were following Wen Jianning today, they happened to be discovered by her, and hurriedly went back to report to Chen Hongwang, which led to his visit.

Wen Jianning took a deep breath: "Thank you Boss Chen for telling me the news, it's just that Boss Chen has taken such a lot of pain, I don't know what I can do." ”

She didn't believe that the person in front of her could be so kind.

Chen Hongwang smiled and looked at the girl opposite.

It's been nearly two months since I've been away from home, and the girl in front of me is not only not haggard, but the curvature of her cheeks is a little more round and full than before. In the dim light, her face was clear, and her pale skin had an almost jade transparency. The pair of black and white apricot eyes made her look confident, sharp, and have a temperament that is rare for ordinary girls.

There was a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Speaking of which, the third miss may not believe it, the reason why Chen is working so hard is nothing more than to sincerely befriend the third miss." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the girl opposite, as if she was distinguishing the truth of his words.

She really couldn't figure out what she had in her that was worth letting a big businessman put down and befriend.

Without waiting for her to understand, Chen Hongwang looked around again and chuckled: "This place is too simple, it's too condescending to let someone like Miss Third live here." Chen has a suggestion, I have a vacant bungalow in the public concession, if the third lady does not dislike it, I can go there to live there for a while. When the matter between you and your family is settled, it's not too late to find another place to live. Of course, if the third lady can't worry about your teacher staying here alone, she can also go with you. ”

Wen Jianning's eyes immediately changed, and he said coldly: "I live here very well, don't bother Boss Chen." ”

"Miss San probably misunderstood my intentions," Chen Hongwang patiently explained, "I don't mean anything else, I just want Miss San to be more comfortable when a girl goes out." ”

Wen Jianning was still cold: "No need, thank you Boss Chen for your kindness." ”

The person on the other side smiled: "Why is the third young lady in a hurry to talk so much, you still have time, you can think about it slowly." ”

Seeing that Wen Jianning was still refusing, Chen Hongwang picked up his hat and prepared to get up and leave.

Wen Jianning had no choice but to send people to the door, and watched the other party take people downstairs and walk away in a car, so he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she turned around, she realized that Mr. Qi was looking at her, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go out to take a look in the next few days, let's move as soon as possible." ”

Wen Jianning was a little reluctant: "Do you really want to leave here?"

Although she had not lived in this apartment for a long time, it was the first place she had anchored since leaving the Wen family, and it was inevitable that she had a special affection for it.

Mr. Qi bowed slightly: "We must move out as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer." ”

Wen Jianning quickly figured it out and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the owner of the western restaurant early tomorrow morning to resign." ”

After all, the Wen family has already inquired about their whereabouts, and they will definitely not be able to go to the Western restaurant. It doesn't matter what the house or work is, as long as Mr. Qi is there, the two of them can live anywhere, and the top priority is to avoid the eyes and ears of the Wen family as soon as possible, so as not to be found by them.

The teacher and student decided to move, so they rested early.

The next morning, after they had eaten, they went their separate ways. Mr. Qi planned to go to the magazine office for a long vacation, while Wen Jianning packed up his things at home, and then went to the western restaurant where he worked to resign.

As soon as Wen Jianning went to the western restaurant, he mentioned his resignation to the fat boss.

The fat boss insisted in his thick Cantonese accent that she was going to quit her job suddenly, which would bring a lot of losses to his restaurant, so he had to deduct half of her already meager salary. And although Wen Jianning had long expected the possibility of the fat boss deducting wages, he couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that the other party was so excessive, and bargained with him in the corner.

Before the two could come up with a result, a young man in a brown tweed suit on the window seat looked at them for a long time, finally got up and strode towards them, and said warmly to Wen Jianning: "You are Jianning, my father asked me to pick you up and take you home." ”

He is tall and has an outstanding temperament, and his facial features are vaguely similar to Wen Baiqing.

Wen Jianning's memory has always been good, and he quickly recognized that the person in front of him was Wen Songnian, the eldest grandson of the Wen family, her titular cousin. The last time she saw him was more than three years ago.

She looked cold and wanted to walk out the door: "Sorry sir, you recognized the wrong person." ”

The other party obviously didn't allow her to pass like this, blocked the way again, and took out a photo from his pocket: "Although we haven't seen each other for several years, my aunt sent your photo from Hong Kong, so I won't recognize the wrong person in front of the photo." ”

Wen Jianning was secretly anxious in his heart, don't look around and try to bypass him: "I'm sorry sir, you really recognized the wrong person." ”

However, a tall young man blocking the way can be avoided so easily. She dodged left and right, and the other party always firmly blocked her way. She couldn't help but be anxious, and she was about to run out.

Wen Songnian saw that she was going to rush out of the door regardless of it, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand and jerked Wen Jianning's wrist: "Okay, don't make any more trouble, you go back with me to see the family first." ”

Wen Jianning raised his voice and shouted: "This gentleman, if you pull and pull like this again, I will call the people who patrol the room." ”

The movement on their side finally made the entire western restaurant hear, and they all turned their eyes to this side.

The fat boss, who was still watching the play next to him, saw that it affected the business, and immediately sank his face: "Miss Ming, although you have worked in my shop, if you don't plan to eat, I hope you don't interfere with our business here." And this gentleman, if you have any personal affairs, please go outside and deal with it. If you need to call someone from the patrol room, I can do it for you. ”

Wen Jianning claimed that her surname was Ming when she applied for the job, so the fat boss did not know her real name.

Before Wen Songnian could answer, a familiar voice interjected from the side.

"No need for trouble for the time being, we will be leaving soon. ”

The two cousins, who were in a stalemate, turned their heads at the same time and saw the person behind them.

Wen Songnian let go of his hand and said politely: "Boss Chen, it's really a coincidence today, why are you here?"

As the eldest grandson of the Wen family, he gradually took over the family business after graduating from St. John's University, following his father and second uncle. Although Chen Hongwang only had business dealings with the Wen family this year, he was a big customer who was not easy to offend.

"I have a friend here, and I happened to be passing by to have a look. ”

Chen Hongwang said and looked at the girl he had only met last night with a smile.

Wen Songnian looked at Chen Hongwang, and then subconsciously looked at Wen Jianning, his eyes suddenly a little subtle.

"Boss Chen, since you know Jianning, you should know that she is my cousin, and her affairs are also my Wen family's family affairs. Although you are a distinguished guest of our family, if you want to interfere, I am afraid it is still a little rude. ”

Chen Hongwang said with a smile: "Although the two are cousins, Miss Wen San is a friend of someone Chen after all. If she is really in trouble, why is Chen afraid to be this wicked person in it. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the girl who was on guard: "Third Miss, I don't know which side you are willing to choose?"

Wen Jianning's gaze wandered over the two of them.

In the end, she still followed Chen Hongwang silently with her head down against Wen Songnian's inquiring gaze, and got out of the restaurant and got into the car. Although she didn't want to go with this person, it was better to be with him than to be forcibly taken back by the Wen family.

Wen Songnian, who was behind him, followed them all the way out: "Jianning, Jianning, you think about it again, the family will not harm you." However, the person he called didn't look back, and got into Chen Hongwang's car.

Wen Songnian could only stand in place, watching the black car gradually drive away with complicated eyes.

......

It wasn't until he was completely away from the street that Chen Hongwang asked the girl next to him: "Third Miss doesn't have anything to ask me?"

And the person next to him just looked out the window.

"What can I ask? ”

Just when Chen Hongwang thought that she was going to be silent all the way, the girl's sneering voice finally sounded.

"For example, ask Boss Chen where he plans to take me, is he going to the bungalow in your British Concession?"

Chen Hongwang smiled dumbly: "It's just to take the third miss for a casual stroll, why should the third miss be so defensive against me." ”

Wen Jianning wanted to continue to ridicule each other, but considering that she was still sitting in the other party's car, she still didn't bother to waste her words, and continued to look at the street scene outside the car window, thinking about where to jump out of the car for a while.

Her little caution obviously couldn't hide it from the people next to her.

The other party chuckled: "For the sake of your own safety, Third Miss, I advise you not to jump out of the car." ”

Wen Jianning retracted his gaze and lowered his head, staring at his two hands on his knees.

As soon as Chen Hongwang looked at her, he knew that she didn't listen to his words at all, so he simply said directly: "Even if the third lady doesn't think about herself, she should think more about your teacher." ”

Hearing that the other party actually threatened him with Mr. Qi, Wen Jianning was finally surprisingly angry: "What do you want to do!"

However, this time, it was Chen Hongwang who no longer answered her words.

Wen Jianning pressed his temperament, slowly suppressed the surging anger, and although the hands on his knees were clenched into small fists, he still sat silently beside him, not daring to act rashly. No matter how bold she was, she didn't dare to gamble with Mr. Qi's safety easily.

In the silence, the black car made its way through the bustling downtown area and finally stopped in a park on the side of the road.
