Chapter Seventy-Four: Goodbye
It's over, it's only been a month, how can she conjure up so much money all at once.
Alan didn't know when he came behind her, and when he saw her sad face, he suddenly thought of something.
"You be my female companion, and I will pay you."
Shen Wanbai was startled by the sudden voice and turned around suddenly.
"Please have a sound next time you walk, it will scare people to death, fortunately, my heart is relatively strong, in other words, other people would have been scared to death."
Alan didn't seem to hear her muttering, and said slowly, "What do you think?" ”
Shen Wanbai's face immediately became serious: "You can't be secretly investigating me again." ”
Since she was admitted to the medical university, she has moved out of the castle and has done all the tiring work in order to earn tuition, including washing dishes and cleaning.
Eren used to give her money, but she didn't want to be a greedy person, so she wouldn't contact Eren when there was nothing to do.
But just because she doesn't contact doesn't mean Alan doesn't contact her.
Due to business entertainment, he would take her to various high-end venues and drinking parties from time to time, and after the end, he would also pay her a payment.
But they were all rejected by Shen Wanbai.
Perhaps seeing the thoughts in Shen Wanbai's heart, Alan said expressionlessly.
"You don't have to mind the money, just treat it as if I borrowed it from you, and you can pay it back to me later."
After speaking, he took out a card and handed it to Shen Wanbai.
Shen Wanbai stared at the bank card in his hand fixedly, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Alan has helped her a lot.
"Go get ready, and we'll be on in two hours."
At the same time, in the airport, Sheng Baichuan got off the plane and hurried to his destination.
He has a drinking party to attend, and this drinking party is related to the next project to be discussed, and he must act carefully.
I heard that the other party is very strong, and he may not be able to get the project, but Sheng's funds have been greatly threatened, if this project can't be won, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tide over the difficulties this time.
The survival of the Sheng family depends on this time.
Due to insomnia for a week, Sheng Baichuan's condition seemed to be a little unpleasant, he rubbed his eyebrows, and his heart was very irritable.
"Mr. Sheng, why don't you take a break for a while, there is still a period of time before the cocktail party, and I will call you then."
Sheng Baichuan refused the assistant's kindness, and he couldn't sleep at all now.
"You pass the information to me, and I'll study the other party's information again."
The assistant nodded, and immediately passed on all the information about Allen.
Until arriving at the hotel, Sheng Baichuan was still busy working.
Seeing this, the assistant couldn't bear it and silently made a cup of coffee for him.
In just one year of the world, Sheng Baichuan seems to have changed from a playboy to a mature and stable person.
His changes seem to have started when Shen Wanbai disappeared, everyone thought that Sheng Baichuan had had enough, but only Sheng Baichuan himself knew what it was for.
During that time, he, like He Zefeng, couldn't believe that the news of Shen Wanbai's disappearance was true, and he searched everywhere for Shen Wanbai's whereabouts, but he only got empty joy.
Then, he began to give up.
But Shen Wanbai's shadow appeared in his dreams from time to time, and in order to numb himself, he could only work hard.
The assistant gently put the coffee down.
"Mr. Sheng, I'm outside, if you need anything, call me at any time."
Sheng Baichuan nodded casually, and his slender fingers flew quickly on the computer.
The assistant sighed slightly, and then gently closed the door.
In the house, Sheng Baichuan suddenly stopped, staring at the scenery outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The spring rain is silent and the sky is gray, giving the illusion of being in the fog.
At the seven-star high-end hotel in the center of the city, guests arrived one after another, and the waiter in a vest and tie shuttled through the crowd with a disc in one hand, and his posture was vigorous.
Shen Wanbai looked at the hand that suddenly appeared in front of him, and naturally put his hand lightly.
"Are we late?" Shen Wanbai stared at Allen.
"The timing is just right." He glanced at the platinum watch on his wrist.
Hearing this, Shen Wanbai didn't say anything more, just now she just didn't think the atmosphere was embarrassing, so she just looked for a topic, but now it seems to be redundant, because no matter what she says to Allen, she will be blocked by his words.
He's a topic buster.
The hall was full of clothes and sideburns, and Shen Wanbai seemed to be used to this kind of occasion, with a generous and elegant posture, and standing side by side with Alan was especially eye-catching.
In private, it is rumored that Shen Wanbai is Allen's girlfriend, but Shen Wanbai has always only regarded him as his own brother.
Shen Wanbai took Allen's arm and gracefully greeted others in the hall.
However, some people around began to have red eyes and Shen Wanbai, and they didn't know what they were muttering together, but they knew that there were no good words when they looked at them.
"Look at her like me, Alan doesn't know where she is, I have to take her with me wherever I go!"
"Shhh, be quiet, Shen Wanbai is Allen's treasure, if Allen hears you say bad things about Shen Wanbai, you will be unlucky......"
Suddenly, Sheng Baichuan, who passed by them, suddenly paused, pulled the arm of one of the women regardless of the image, and stared.
"Who did you just say?" If he heard it right, the person they were referring to was the woman's name.
"Neurotic!"
Sheng Baichuan was pushed away fiercely, and they looked at him as if they were looking at a monster, so they hurriedly left.
The assistant immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Mr. Sheng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sheng Baichuan shook his head lightly and held his forehead: "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired these days, let's go." ”
It seems that he is really hallucinating, and also, she has been missing for a whole year, and her life and death are still unknown, where will she appear here......
Scold...... Sheng Baichuan smiled self-deprecatingly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and now only endless loss and gloom remained.
At the same time, Shen Wanbai had just come back from the bathroom, and she always felt that something was wrong with her today, and she always felt that something would happen.
"I must have thought too much."
She shook her head, regained her usual look, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked towards Alan with a wine glass.
At this time, I don't know who pushed her from the side, her body lost her balance, and she involuntarily fell to the side, looking like she was about to hit the opposite table.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm in time and took her into his arms.
It was a broad chest, and the man had a faint smell of perfume from a new brand of the season, which smelled good.
"You're alright."
The man let go of her, and a magnetic voice sounded overhead.
When he heard his voice, Shen Wanbai felt inexplicably familiar, although the other party spoke English.
"Thank you......"
Shen Wanbai also thanked him fluently in English, but the moment he turned around, his eyes were full of consternation.
At this time, it was not only her who was surprised, Sheng Baichuan's posture just now was also sluggish, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.
"Shen Wanbai! Is that you? ”
There was only a distance of less than half a meter between the two, and a variety of complex emotions were filled with it.
Compared with a year ago, Shen Wanbai at this time is more confident and beautiful, and he is still the same person as before, and he may only have changed his state of mind.
Shen Wanbai quickly thought about how to explain it in his mind, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything, no matter what he said, it seemed useless.
At this time, her waist was grabbed.
"My dear, who is this gentleman?"
Alan saw that Shen Wanbai's expression was not right, he stared at the man opposite, and saw a strong hostility in his eyes.
He ...... I don't know either, maybe this gentleman is the wrong person. ”
"Alan, let's go."
She just wanted to get out of here, and she managed to keep herself from thinking about the past......
Shen Wanbai leaned towards Allen's arms, Allen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that this was a sign of her insecurity.
So, he couldn't help but tighten his hands a little.
"Okay."
Seeing Shen Wanbai pretending not to know him, Sheng Baichuan became angry, and his face turned a little colder.
"Wait!" His tone was a little colder than usual, and there seemed to be something suppressed in his eyes.
However, Shen Wanbai did not intend to stay, seeing this, Sheng Baichuan stepped forward and grabbed Shen Wanbai's arm.
His strength was very strong, as if he was afraid that Shen Wanbai would disappear from front of him again.
"Let's talk, or I'll tell He Zefeng about seeing you."
She originally thought that she would forget the three words 'He Zefeng', but when she heard these three words from someone else's air again, she had to admit that her heart was hurting.
"I'll come when I go."
Alan was not worried that Shen Wanbai would go alone, staring at Sheng Baichuan, his tone full of worry.
"I'll go with you."
Shen Wanbai rejected his kindness, and some of them could only be solved by herself.
At her insistence, Alan didn't follow.
Outside the balcony, the night was still dark, but the wind was a little cool, and it was raining lightly, Shen Wanbai couldn't help but shiver.
"Put it on." Sheng Baichuan took off the suit on his body and handed it to him.
However, Shen Wanbai just smiled politely and waved his hand.
"No, you still have to wear it, I can't afford to catch a cold when the time comes."
Sheng Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully, and then put his coat on the crook of his arm.
"You've been here all year, haven't you?"
Shen Wanbai stared at the night sky and didn't answer, but her acquiescence was to admit Sheng Baichuan's question.
"Time flies so fast, it's been a year, and you still haven't changed at all."
At night, Sheng Baichuan saw a surprise in her eyes, what she had experienced in the past year.
The throbbing in his heart made him a little unable to control himself, and he wanted to embrace the person in front of him in his arms, but reason told him that he couldn't.
"Why do you want to say goodbye, you know how long He Zefeng has been looking for you, why are you doing this."
Including him, he also looked for her for a long time, and he began to give up......
