Jiang Nian quickly obediently sat back in the passenger seat. She chattered non - stop all the way. Maybe because she had been with children for the past few years, Yan Xia was extremely patient. She patiently responded to every word Jiang Nian said, so Jiang Nian's fondness for her increased greatly.
Jiang Nian originally thought that this beautiful young lady who had once directly rejected the boss should have a particularly cold and aloof personality. Unexpectedly, she was so down - to - earth.
"Miss, I like chatting with you so much. Later, I'll ask the boss to push your WeChat to me. Let's add each other as friends."
Yan Xia smiled and said, "Sure."
Shangguan Yao sneered, "With your chatty nature, no one can stand you."
Jiang Nian was very dissatisfied, "Who said that? The miss likes chatting with me very much."
Shangguan Yao was momentarily speechless. After hearing Yan Xia's laughter, he just complained, "Don't say I brought you out in the future. I don't have such a stupid apprentice like you."
Jiang Nian still remembered the first time Shangguan Yao complained about her being talkative. It was the day she first reported to the police station. She was extremely nervous. In the end, it was Shangguan Yao who took the initiative to tell her not to be nervous, that everyone was easy to get along with.
So she gradually relaxed and seized the opportunity to ask Shangguan Yao a lot of questions, expressing her nervousness and gratitude. Shangguan Yao had never met such a talkative girl in his life, so he couldn't help but say,
"Aren't you thirsty? Aren't your lips tired? Don't the people around you usually think you're too talkative? You're really the most talkative person I've ever met."
Jiang Nian was extremely embarrassed and immediately shut up.
After driving for a while, Shangguan Yao suddenly stopped the car and looked back at Jiang Nian.
"You're here. Get out of the car and go home."
Jiang Nian looked back and saw that she was really downstairs of her own building. She just hadn't had enough chatting. It was only when it was time to get out of the car that she remembered she hadn't asked Shangguan Yao anything about his past with Yan Xia at all. For example, what was the boss like when he chased someone, and how was he rejected? She was really curious about what Shangguan Yao looked like when he was rejected.
"Then I'll go back first. Boss, drive safely."
After finally getting rid of the chatterbox, Yan Xia let out a soft laugh.
In the past, it was always her who was annoyed by Shangguan Yao chasing her to talk. At that time, he was a slacker and very promiscuous. But now, as the saying goes, there's always someone better. There was actually a girl who could make Shangguan Yao yield under her chatter.
The ignorant are always fearless.
"What are you laughing at?" Shangguan Yao felt a bit embarrassed.
"Nothing. I just think she might be sent by God to punish you. You used to act promiscuously on purpose in front of Wang Keding, and now you're finally willing to restrain yourself. Then you met Yaoyao. I actually think it's good to have such a girl around you to keep you in check."
Shangguan Yao's eyelids twitched. What kind of matchmaking was this?
He watched Jiang Nian's back disappear from sight before starting the car again and leaving. "Stop it. Although I'm an old cow, I don't like to eat young grass. If you keep talking so recklessly, we won't be friends anymore."
In the past two years, he had attached great importance to safety issues and was very vigilant in everything he did.
Yan Xia finally stopped joking with him.
"Okay, then let's talk about something serious."
He came to pick her up, naturally not just simply entrusted by someone. Yan Xia had just returned today and met Lu Qianzhou. Obviously, Lu Qianzhou would continue to pester her in the future and wouldn't let it go easily.
To some extent, this was an advantage for her, allowing her to cooperate with Shangguan Yao's actions more easily.
Shangguan Yao asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Yan Xia was confused. "Plans? What do you mean?"
"Lu Qianzhou is still very close to Lord Lu. His father's health has not been very good in the past two years. The children from different concubines have racked their brains to fight for the inheritance. Lu Qianzhou is very capable and is his father's favorite. Although he may not be interested in fighting for the inheritance, others may worry that he will take too much of it and thus plot against him. I guess with Lu Qianzhou's vengeful nature, he will definitely fight back. Anyway, you once had a short - lived father - daughter relationship with Lord Lu. I plan to let you start with him."
Shangguan Yao said a lot in one breath. He had already made many different plans regarding Lu Qianzhou's situation.
Moreover, the crimes he committed were not just what Yan Xia knew. There were more, but he just hadn't told her.
But now she and Lord Lu were strangers. Yan Xia didn't know how she could suddenly go to him. It seemed that no matter what she did, it would arouse suspicion.
However, Lord Lu had sent someone to save her at the last moment, which meant that he still cared about Yan Xia at that time.
Yan Xia said, "Fang Jiangyi told me that if I needed to, he could arrange for me to return to Shengshi as the vice - president. But Shengshi doesn't need me now and doesn't belong to me either, so I don't plan to go back."
If Shangguan Yao hadn't asked, she really wouldn't have thought about what she was going to do.
Shangguan Yao was very understanding. "Asking you to go to Lord Lu is just a suggestion I made casually. You don't have to take this path. Besides, you just came back. There's no rush."
Yan Xia nodded.
But Shangguan Yao had his own agenda. Since Wang Keding was arrested and imprisoned, and then he had a car accident and almost died, he knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death. Although he ultimately failed to keep Wang Keding, he still had to investigate Lu Qianzhou.
After Yan Xia left, he once went to talk to Lu Qianzhou.
But by that time, Yan Xia had been missing for a long time. Lu Qianzhou had tried many ways but couldn't find her, and he was in a very irritable state.
Shangguan Yao leaned on his crutch and dragged his injured leg to question him about what tricks he had played behind the scenes and what benefits it would bring to him.
Lu Qianzhou's attitude towards him was very arrogant. He didn't admit his manipulation behind the scenes. Instead, he advised Shangguan Yao to take care of himself. Wang Keding had also done many wrong things and inevitably had a few enemies. Everyone in the circle knew Shangguan Yao's identity, and taking care of himself was what he should do at that time.
Shangguan Yao threatened Lu Qianzhou that he would definitely find evidence to prove Lu Qianzhou's crimes.
In response to his threat, Lu Qianzhou said that he was always ready to face it, ready to block whatever came.
He didn't even take Shangguan Yao seriously. A slacker rich second - generation couldn't stir up much trouble.
In the past few years, Shangguan Yao had been collecting evidence of Lu Qianzhou's crimes, hoping to bring him to justice one day.
Yan Xia was still too indecisive. For her to cooperate with him in investigating Lu Qianzhou, her current attitude towards Lu Qianzhou was very important.
He casually asked her, "What did you think when you saw Lu Qianzhou again today?"
"Nothing. I have no feelings for him at all. I just want to know why."
This was also the purpose of her return.
"It seems you'll inevitably be pestered by Lu Qianzhou in the future." Shangguan Yao suddenly handed her a necklace. "To facilitate the collection of evidence, I'll give this to you first. Wear it when you see him."
