I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 244 Uneasiness

244 Uneasiness

Sang Qianqian had never expected that Sang Pengcheng’s intention when he said that he wanted to go home was this.

She tried to explain on Shen Hanyu’s behalf. “Dad, you’ve misunderstood Hanyu. He’s not that kind of person.”

“Silly girl, you’re still speaking up for him at this point?”

Sang Pengcheng sighed helplessly. “Xie s.h.i.+’an still knows to visit you every now and then. Shen Hanyu isn’t even as good as Xie s.h.i.+’an. So how can I trust him?”

Sang Qianqian was speechless. It seemed that her father’s prejudice against Shen Hanyu was not ordinary.

“Dad, are you planning to let us all stay in Yuecheng in the future?”

Sang Minglang said jokingly, “Aren’t you a little too overbearing?”

“It’s overbearing to leave you in the capital. I let you do whatever you want and you almost lost your lives.”

Sang Pengcheng actually had a lot of opinions about Sang Minglang, but he had been holding it in.

Back then, if he had not come to the capital with Qianqian and kept it a secret, Sang Pengcheng would not have found out about what had happened.

“Do you really think I don’t know about what happened between you and that girl from the Ruan family? Back when we were overseas, we almost lost our lives for that girl. So many years have pa.s.sed, and because of her, we fell into Ruan Cheng’s hands and barely made it out alive.”

Sang Pengcheng glared at Sang Minglang, exasperated at his failure to live up to his expectations, “Minglang, you’d better be more careful in the future!”

The smile on Sang Minglang’s face, which was not obvious to begin with, slowly froze.

He was silent and did not speak.

“When I go back, I’ll hand over the company’s affairs to you. It’s time for me to retire.”

Sang Pengcheng had obviously thought about this for a long time. “As for Qianqian, don’t run around in the name of work. In the future, just stay in Yuecheng obediently and don’t think about such things.”

In this period of time, Sang Pengcheng had experienced a few major changes, and his state of mind had also changed.

He used to trust Shen Hanyu one hundred percent, but his trust in him had dropped to zero recently.

He didn’t want anything to happen to his daughter, and he couldn’t leave her alone in the capital.

Yuecheng was their home, and they had to go back sooner or later.

Sang Qianqian and Sang Minglang looked at each other for a few seconds, knowing that their father was serious this time.

Sang Minglang stood up and said lightly, “I’ll go pack my luggage.”

What else could Sang Qianqian say? She could only follow him back to her room.

She packed her luggage absent-mindedly and felt a little tired.

She leaned against the headboard of the bed and closed her eyes to take a nap. She was clearly very tired and her mind was in a mess, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

After lying down for a while, Sang Qianqian got up and casually flipped through a book. Her thoughts seemed to be out of her control, and she found it difficult to focus.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o ‘clock. Shen Hanyu was not back yet.

When Sang Qianqian went downstairs, she realized that Sang Minglang had his car keys and was about to head out.

“Brother, where are you going?”

“I’m meeting a friend. I won’t be back for dinner tonight.”

Sang Qianqian still wanted to ask who she was meeting.

But Sang Minglang had already strode out the door, and not long after, she heard the sound of a car driving away.

Sang Qianqian stood there silently for a while before walking into the courtyard. It was already late autumn, and the wind was a little chilly.

The leaves of the Wisteria flowers on the fence between the two courtyards had long withered, and most of them had fallen off. However, there were still some purple petals on the branches, which were trembling in the wind.

Sang Qianqian looked at the small courtyard next door and suddenly thought of many things about Shen Hanyu living here.

She wasn’t as calm as she looked.

In the depths of her heart, she was filled with a deep sense of uneasiness.

She was not suspicious of Shen Hanyu’s feelings for her, but she was worried that Shen Hanyu was in trouble.

This trouble might be even more complicated than the fight against Ruan Cheng.

Sang Qianqian’s intuition told her that Shen Hanyu did not want to get her involved, so he was being cold to her on purpose.

But on second thought, Shen Hanyu’s ability should be enough to handle anything. Moreover, he had the Zhen family as his powerful backing. If there was any trouble, it was impossible that he couldn’t solve it.

Sang Qianqian could not figure out the whole story, but she could feel that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Shen Hanyu wouldn’t have treated her like this.

She had asked Shen Hanyu what had happened, but he obviously didn’t want to tell her.

Even if she asked again, she was afraid that she would not get the real answer.

As for Guo Muyang, he was Shen Hanyu’s most loyal executor. He would carry out Shen Hanyu’s orders to the letter. It seemed that she would not be able to get anything out of him.

After much thought, Sang Qianqian decided to ask Fang Lan.

Fang Lan and Shen Hanyu were good friends, and she was a straightforward person.

She might be able to get some information from her.

Sang Qianqian did not plan to contact Fang Lan so soon. However, she had to return to Yuecheng the next morning. This time, she would definitely have to stay with her father for a few days.

Even though Sang Pengcheng had always been soft-hearted, he would probably agree to anything if begged him after going back and spending some time with him.

Sang Qianqian would definitely be able to return to the capital eventually, but it would probably take some time.

It would be a few days before she met Shen Hanyu again. She couldn’t feel at ease if she just left without knowing why.

When Sang Qianqian called Fang Lan’s number, no one picked up the first time. It was only on her second call that Fang Lan picked up.

The person who picked up the phone was not Fang Lan, but an unfamiliar girl. “Who are you?”

—

“I’m Fang Lan’s friend. Tell her that my surname is Sang and she’ll know who I am.”

“Then wait here. I’ll go get sister Fang Lan. She’s playing with the cats in the back garden.”

The girl’s voice sounded very young, with a bit of innocence.

She should be holding her phone and walking out briskly, as Sang Qianqian could hear the whistling of the wind from the other end.

After a while, the girl shouted clearly, “Sister Fang Lan, Sister Fang Lan, someone is calling you!”

“Oh, it’s been hard on our Little Yingying to come all the way here to give me the phone. Hanyu, hold this cat for me. I’m going to answer a call and come over right away,” Fang Lan said with a smile.

She reminded him, “You must hold it well. Don’t let the cat run away, or else Grandma Zhen will blame us.”

Hearing Fang Lan call out Hanyu’s name, Sang Qianqian suspected that she had not heard it clearly, thinking that it was just two words with similar p.r.o.nunciations.

However, the next moment, she clearly heard a familiar deep voice from the other end of the phone. “Alright,” he said.

it was a simple word, but it struck her heart like a bolt of lightning.

“h.e.l.lo, who’s this?” Fang Lan picked up the call.

“It’s me.” Sang Qianqian tried her best to make her voice sound calm. “Fang Lan, where are you now? Is it convenient for us to meet up?”

Hearing Sang Qianqian’s voice, Fang Lan’s heart trembled. She subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu, who was not far away.

After a few seconds of quick thinking, Fang Lan decided to tell the truth, “I’m at… the Zhen family’s residence. My second uncle brought me to the Zhen family for dinner, so it might not be convenient tonight.”

She paused. “Miss Sang, if you’re looking for me, why don’t we meet up tomorrow? I’m free all day by that time.”
