Jiang Zeshen sat in the car as the windshield wipers kept swaying.
The license plate of the oncoming car was clearly visible. He glanced at Shen Youjin sitting beside him. "Don't get out of the car. I'll go and check."
After saying that, he took out an umbrella, opened the car door, and stepped out with his long legs.
At the same time, a young man with dyed red hair and dressed in hip - hop style also got out of the car.
Suddenly, thunder roared, deafening.
The next second, a bolt of lightning split the sky, illuminating the face of the red - haired young man.
Shen Youjin, who had been frowning, suddenly had her pupils dilate and her breath almost stopped.
Someone beside him was holding an umbrella for Shen Qilin. He stuffed his hands carelessly into his pockets. There was a green snake tattoo on his neck. The snake's forked tongue seemed as if it was dripping with poison, not knowing whether it would hurt others or himself.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you not paying attention while driving? If this car gets damaged, I can't afford to compensate!"
"It seems that Young Master Shen knows he was driving in the wrong lane." Jiang Zeshen raised his eyebrows, but his tone was cold. "On purpose?"
Shen Qilin looked at the car behind him. A woman was sitting in the passenger seat, staring blankly at him.
Even though there was a heavy rain between them, the feeling of deep - seated hatred still came through.
"But I didn't hit you, right?" He smiled, chewing gum in his mouth. "How about I invite Mr. Jiang to dinner some other day as an apology?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept peeping into the car. It was not until he saw Shen Youjin's face clearly that he gave a knowing smile.
This woman was really capable. After losing Li Nanchuan, she had latched onto Jiang Zeshen, a financial tycoon.
He wondered if anyone would still take a fancy to her when her face was ruined and she became a slut.
"There's no need for dinner." Jiang Zeshen rarely showed a serious side. "In the future, Young Master Shen had better steer clear of my car. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen."
Shen Qilin curled his lips. The gum in his mouth seemed to have lost its flavor.
He made a "please" gesture, seemingly having no objection to this.
Jiang Zeshen looked at him. This man was about the same age as him, but he looked like a hooligan with his dyed hair.
It seemed that the Shen family's education was really a failure!
He was too lazy to talk to him any more. He turned around, got back in the car, and drove away.
After his car was out of sight, Shen Qilin spat out the gum in his mouth with a vicious expression.
The man holding the umbrella beside him shivered involuntarily, not knowing if it was because the rain was too cold.
"Master, you've just returned to the country. The master and the mistress are still waiting for you at home. Let's go back first!"
Shen Qilin turned his head and gave him a sinister look. The man holding the umbrella trembled even more.
He didn't understand how a wealthy young master could exude such a strong killing aura.
It was not until he got in the car that he let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Jiang Zeshen saw Shen Youjin looking pale. He couldn't help reaching out and holding her hand.
"Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."
Jiang Zeshen knew all about the feuds between Shen Youjin and the Shen family, but he had never really cared about them before.
After all, he was just here to flirt. As long as he provided enough emotional value at the moment, he didn't plan to delve deeper into other things.
But at this moment, he just wanted to protect Shen Youjin for some reason.
Shen Youjin looked up at him. Jiang Zeshen's handsome and unrestrained face was reflected in her eyes, but she couldn't really trust him.
"It's okay. I've hired bodyguards."
The last incident was an accident. She had replaced them with a new batch. This time, there should be no mistakes.
"Do you think I'm not more reliable than bodyguards, or do you think I'm not trustworthy?"
Jiang Zeshen asked unhappily while driving.
"I need something solid to feel at ease." Shen Youjin leaned back on the seat. "Jiang Zeshen, your world is too chaotic."
She had long known what kind of person he was. When she loved him, she had no demands on him. When she gave up on him, she had no expectations of him either.
Jiang Zeshen's well - defined fingers suddenly tightened. He was holding the steering wheel and still wanted to argue. "I've cut off all ties with those people. Didn't you see that? Xiaojin, isn't this enough to prove my sincerity?"
His voice carried a kind of resentment of unrequited love. Shen Youjin was silent for a while and then suddenly let out a soft laugh. "What about Xia Linlang?"
The gap between them was never just those four rivals. It was the white moonlight that always lingered in his heart.
She clearly knew that if she pretended to be stupid, she could live a happy life. But what she wanted was a man who only had her in his heart.
"You knew my emotional state when you were with me. Why can't you accept it now?" Jiang Zeshen said impatiently. "She won't come back to the imperial capital at all, and I won't go to see her. Can't you just forget about this?"
This was the first time he no longer avoided this topic, but Shen Youjin didn't feel happy.
Sometimes she understood men better than they understood themselves. Jiang Zeshen was still trying to gloss over the important points in his words.
But she was used to it. Many people were like this.
Even if there was a deep - seated love in the distance, they were reluctant to give up the immediate happiness. This was probably the weakness of human nature!
"All I want is wholehearted love." Shen Youjin said calmly. "I found that you couldn't give it to me, so I chose to leave. What's wrong with that?"
That time when she was drunk, she had clearly realized that she was not an exception.
If he really cherished her, he wouldn't have said such things.
Jiang Zeshen was stunned for a moment and then got even angrier.
Hadn't he already apologized? And hadn't he been good to her during this period?
It was the first time he had gone to so much trouble for a woman, even acting like a lapdog around her. But this woman didn't seem to see any of his efforts at all!
Humph!
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. Shen Youjin could even clearly feel his rising anger.
But what did it matter to her? Had she forced him to make these efforts?
It was really a bit ridiculous. Since he came with a purpose, shouldn't he accept the possibility of failure?
But some men were like this. Once they found that their goals couldn't be achieved, all their efforts became shackles to kidnap others.
She had nothing more to say about this. She had her own principles and wouldn't change them for anyone.
Not even for her investor!
The car drove on in the rain all the way. When they finally reached the entrance of the community, Shen Youjin finally spoke.
"This is it. Thanks for today."
After saying that, she took out the umbrella she had prepared in advance from her bag and got out of the car without looking back, not even giving him a single glance.
Watching her back gradually disappear into the heavy rain, Jiang Zeshen was almost mad with anger.
So during this period, he had been treated like a clown? Apart from Xia Linlang, Shen Youjin was the only woman who dared to treat him like this!
He swept away the decorations on the car with one swipe of his hand. His eyes were a storm, even more terrifying than the weather outside!
"Shen Youjin, you're really something!" He gritted his teeth. "You're so good!"
