The onlookers were pulling up Mr. Qian, who had fallen into the pool, and Yan Cheng, who heard the commotion, had slowly walked over to this side surrounded by a group of people to see who was making trouble.

Although he is nearly 60 years old this year, and has a son as old as Yan Tingchen, his sideburns are faintly white, but he is well-maintained, in good spirits, and his appearance is quite majestic. His sharp gaze slowly swept over Master Qian, who was still fluttering in the pool, and Wen Jian, who was standing on the other side of the crowd, and gestured to the people around him with grace and let them deal with it themselves.

On his right hand side were Wen Jingshu and Mei Shan.

Mei Shan was secretly screaming in her heart, but Wen Jingshu had already walked quickly through the crowd and walked straight to Wen Jianning, even ignoring that there were so many people present, raised her hand and gave her a resounding slap again.

Wen Jianning didn't even dodge, he was slapped in the face, and the whole person was beaten to the side.

Seeing that Xiu was still watching from the sidelines, he couldn't calm down now, so he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Wen Jingshu's arm and persuaded: "Auntie, don't be angry, let's go back and talk about it, see that Ning is still ...... young."

Wen Jingshu glanced at her coldly, and saw that the second half of the embroidery was stuck in her throat, saying no, not saying it.

Wen Jianning, who was on the side, suddenly lowered his eyes and sneered: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person there." ”

Seeing the embroidery's eyes, the ground turned red.

Wen Jingshu raised her hand again without saying a word, and seeing that it was about to fall on Wen Jianning's face again, Mei Shan and Jianwan next to her finally reacted, and hurriedly went up to hold her, and a few familiar wives stepped forward to persuade together.

After all, it was not in her own territory, and there were so many people watching, Wen Jingshu was finally pulled and put down her hand, looking coldly at Wen Jianning, who was also expressionless.

In front of everyone's eyes, this confrontation between one big and one small gave Mei Shan a special headache, and she finally asked the people next to her to pull the two of them aside and say a few words. Most of the people present were understanding, and soon dispersed in twos and threes and continued to dance and socialize. But when you go back and say it in private, that's someone else's business.

Because of such an accident in the middle, they left in a hurry halfway.

Out of the gate of the Yan Mansion, Wen Jingshu walked in front of the car with a cold mask on her face and got into the car first, and the others followed behind her, and Mei Shan, who deliberately fell behind, threw Wen Jianning a look of self-begging, leaving Wen Jianning alone at the door of the Yan Mansion. At this time, no one dared to take the initiative to touch Wen Jingshu's moldy head.

Wen Jianning stood alone and watched the car go away.

She had expected this outcome, so she was calm.

Wen Jianning roughly estimated the distance from here to the villa in the middle of the mountain, if she only relied on her legs, she was afraid that she would have to walk until tomorrow morning. She is a girl, and it is no longer safe to walk through the city at night alone, and she has to cross the mountains and mountains, but she is afraid that she will have to run along the way. Instead of going back to the villa, it is better to find a nearby place to spend the night.

And yet—

She tugged at the dress skirt on her body and smiled wryly. Because she came out to the banquet tonight, she didn't have any money with her, and she wanted to stay in the hotel empty-handed, but she was afraid that people would not take her in easily.

This situation must have been expected by her good aunt.

Wen Jianning silently pondered in his heart.

Of course, she didn't want to go back, but staying outside penniless was not an option. What's more, there is always a little savings in the villa that she has saved with great difficulty in the past few years, so she is still unwilling to stay in the villa forever.

It's a big deal to bow your head again and wait for the money to come back.

Wen Jianning quickly regained his spirits, took off the high heels on his feet, and walked aimlessly along the street with them in his hands.

It was dark at night, and there was no one on the road, but fortunately, the security within a radius of several miles from the Yan Mansion was not bad, at least there were no homeless people and drunks roaming the streets. However, Wen Jianning stopped and went, and finally stayed away from the rich area a little bit.

Before turning into an alley, Wen Jianning heard a curse mixed with English in front of him.

She had a bad premonition and quickly turned around to leave.

But as soon as the people behind him heard the footsteps, they staggered and chased after them.

It turned out that it was two British officers who were drunk and were wandering the streets. As soon as they saw Wen Jianning running in a dress, their eyes suddenly lit up. Although there was only one back, it could be seen in the dim light that it was a slender Oriental girl, and the two immediately shouted and cursed while chasing after them.

Rao is Wen Jianning was already tired of walking before, but he didn't dare to slack off, but instead sped up and tried to get rid of the people behind him.

However, she ran all the way back the way she came, and suddenly the blinding headlights came on in front of her. The bright light stabbed her eyes for a while, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and only slowly put down her hand after slowly adapting to the light.

A small black car slowly drove out of the shadows and stopped right in front of Wen Jianning.

She looked up a little dazedly, only to see a tall driver walking down from the car, and after a simple nod to Wen Jianning, he directly greeted the two British drunks who came from behind. The rear car door slowly opened, and Chen Hongwang, who had just met at the banquet, stood there and politely issued an invitation: "See Miss Ning, let's get in the car first." ”

Wen Jianning only thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She is not an ignorant person, and she will refuse the kindness of others again, and she is the only one who will suffer tonight.

There were two muffled snorts and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, and the driver quickly finished dealing with the two drunkards, came up and turned the car around, and quickly drove away from the alley.

"Boss, where are we going next?"

The driver in front of him asked as he drove.

"Send Miss Wen home first. ”

Wen Jianning, who was on the side, endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "Boss Chen, it's not convenient for me to go back to the villa tonight, if you can, can you please help me find a hotel to stay in temporarily." When I have money in the future, I will definitely pay it back to you. ”

Wen Jingshu was angry, and if she saw her take someone else's car and go back easily, I was afraid that she would be even more annoyed.

Chen Hongwang smiled and asked, "If the third lady has been outside like this, when will she be able to return the money to me." ”

Wen Jianning was speechless.

After a while, she spoke in a low voice: "Boss Chen is afraid that the affairs of our family are not very clear. ”

She could sense that Chen Hongwang probably wanted to help her, but she really didn't want to cause trouble to others, so she could only tactfully remind the other party that it was best not to interfere in the Wen family's housework.

Chen Hongwang is still just smiling, how to say that he is also a businessman, at least he still has eyesight. If he says that on weekdays, the other party doesn't appreciate it, he won't be bored. But he happened to be in the mood today, and he wanted to get involved in this matter, so naturally he would not be deterred by this little girl's words.

He chuckled and said, "Miss Wen San is too underestimated, and I still know a little bit about some things." ”

Wen Jianning pursed his lips and asked, "What does Boss Chen know?"

The middle-aged man next to her chuckled lightly, and changed his words: "For example, I can see that when you said that about your sister just now, you just didn't want her to be angry with your aunt afterwards, right?"

This in itself is just an ordinary sentence, but for some reason, Wen Jianning suddenly had a sour nose and slightly hot eyes when she heard it, she knew that it was not good, so she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped it a few times. Her skin was so white that both eyes were red in a matter of moments. In fact, she didn't shed a single tear, but she looked as if she had just cried.

"If you want to cry, cry, I won't tell your family. ”

Chen Hongwang sighed, and after finishing speaking, he really looked sideways out of the car window.

Wen Jianning lowered his head, and the hot and humid liquid gushed out of his eyes uncontrollably and flowed wantonly on his face.

She didn't really understand why she was crying, because she didn't feel bad. Whether it was Master Qian's entanglement or Wen Jingshu's slap, she was used to it, and even when she walked a long way alone and met a drunkard, at most she was only a little scared, and she didn't feel too sad.

She's obviously not sad.

Chen Hongwang only heard the girl's soft sobbing sound next to him, which quickly stopped after a short time. Only then did he hand over a handkerchief, but the other party gently pushed it back.

Wen Jianning wiped his tears with his hands without any scruples: "I'm fine." ”

She doesn't need anyone else to pity her.

Chen Hongwang only thought it was interesting, he had been in Hong Kong for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such an unsophisticated young lady. However, he still shook his head and said: "Girls don't have to be strong all the time, and occasionally learn to show weakness, so that they can live a good life." ”

He said this pun, exactly what he said at the dinner party before.

In Chen Hongwang's opinion, tonight's incident would not have been so troublesome.

Wen Jianning sniffed and said in a thick nasal voice: "Mr. Chen is a man, and he will also sigh like this." ”

Chen Hongwang couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the slight sarcasm in her words.

Not to mention that he had also helped her talk before, just said that he also rescued the girl when she was sad, but I didn't expect the other party to be so unappreciative. Although the rose is a stinging one, it will bloom bright red and soft flowers for people to enjoy and pick. The girl seemed to be a hairy chestnut, covered in spikes, and couldn't touch her hands.

However, for Chen Hongwang, taking chestnuts from the fire has always been what he is most interested in doing.

He took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put them in his hand and gently wiped them with a muslin cloth, and said, "Your aunt's affairs, the third lady doesn't have to worry about it." She is not a difficult person to talk to, since I helped the third lady today, I will definitely help to the end and send you back. ”

Wen Jianning didn't know how much of what he said was true or false, but she knew very well that this person said that Wen Jingshu was a good talker, and he was purely lying to coax the child, but she didn't refute anything.

Until they stood at the door of the villa again.

Chen Hongwang looked at the girl who didn't move after getting off the station, and asked, "Don't dare to go in?"

Wen Jianning said stubbornly: "I didn't." ”

Chen Hongwang just laughed, walked in front of her and said, "Don't worry, with me, your aunt won't embarrass you." ”

Wen Jianning looked up and saw the tall figure of the man in front of her blocking her, blocking the light of the street lamp. She silently lowered her head, followed behind Chen Hongwang, and walked up the steps step by step.
