Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The King’s Return (11)
The black off-road vehicle pulled up, and the tall and muscular bodyguards got out, standing by the car. The driver of the third vehicle got out and opened the door.
A slender figure emerged slowly.
Jiang Ye’s smile faded slightly as he stared intently at the young girl getting out of the car.
She stood among a group of bodyguards, truly appearing very small.
However, when she stood still and looked over in their direction, in that moment, she commanded an aura of her own.
No bodyguard, no matter how tall, could hide the young girl’s elegant and noble temperament.
It was as if even the Night Color was making way for her.
“Master Jiang, this is the one I mentioned to you before.”
The person standing behind Jiang Ye stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.
“Hmm?” Jiang Ye did not catch on: “What are you talking about?”
“It’s the one I encountered when I was being chased last time, the one who took off my shoes, and left herself twenty thousand yuan. I will probably never forget it in my life.”
Jiang Ye remembered hearing about this: “That’s quite interesting.”
“What’s so interesting? Master Jiang, this young girl is weird, and now she shows up here…”
At that time, out in the wilderness, a young girl in a white dress, he thought he’d seen a ghost.
Jiang Ye looked over towards Sheng Ting.
Sheng Ting’s face was somber, and he did not reveal much emotion, leaving Jiang Ye feeling somewhat uninterested.
Chuzheng approached, calling out in a cool voice: “Jiang Ye.”
Jiang Ye was momentarily startled. He hadn’t expected Chuzheng to call out to him first.
The youth immediately lifted his face with a smile, as faint, scattered light played in the depths of his eyes: “Miss Sheng.”
“Are you well now?”
Jiang Ye’s hand in his pocket tightened slightly: “With Miss Sheng’s concern, of course I am well.”
Chuzheng did not elaborate, leaving Sheng Ting and Eric somewhat in the dark.
Eric didn’t mind, but Sheng Ting was surrounded by an air of low pressure at this moment.
She was actually speaking so intimately with Jiang Ye!
When had they become acquainted?
“Zhenzhen, what are you doing here?” Sheng Ting suppressed his anger, his eyes dark and tumultuous, like the eve of a storm.
The prior image of the young girl, like a “Canary”, was nowhere to be found.
The young girl was emanating a sense of coldness and detachment, as if he were an insignificant person whom she did not even deign to consider.
All of this was slipping out of control.
Chuzheng felt that compared to the Good Person Card, Sheng Ting was more like the one who should be blackened.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with Sheng Ting’s confinement of the original host.
Perhaps it was a sort of understanding between like entities.
But while Sheng Ting was confining the original host, he was involved with Zhuang Yi… doing those kinds of things.
That was hard to accept.
How could one eat from the bowl and look into the pot at the same time!
Bastard!
Chuzheng’s cool gaze turned towards Sheng Ting.
“What I do here is none of your business,” she answered.
I come if I want to.
This road isn’t owned by anyone!
And now you’re trying to control me!
“This is not a place for you.”
“Mr. Sheng.” Chuzheng interrupted him: “From the day you left the Sheng Family, you lost any right to meddle in my affairs.”
“I’ll have someone send you away right now,” Sheng Ting said with a bad tone, his words carrying an unmistakable command.
“Going to confine me again?” Chuzheng’s voice was ice cold.
Jiang Ye, hearing this, looked up at Sheng Ting.
His eyes held a hint of coolness.
But he quickly lowered his head and, upon raising his eyes again, a careless smile reappeared.
Eric didn’t give Sheng Ting another chance to speak: “Mr. Sheng, your grievances with Miss Sheng aren’t my concern, let’s not forget why we’re here.”
