Chapter 663: I Can’t Be Seen in Public?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moment Shi Mengwan saw that person, she wanted to step back, but it was too late.

She didn’t expect to meet Chou Yanbo here.

She felt guilty for a moment. She wanted to step back, but Chou Yanbo had already seen her. She was on good terms with Su Qingsang and had seen Chou Yanbo a few times.

She nodded at him and walked past him to continue walking outside. She didn’t have a close relationship with Chou Yanbo, so she wasn’t worried that he would tell Su Qingsang.

Even if they met, it didn’t matter. However, when she took two steps forward, she saw that there were other people following behind Chou Yanbo.

Those people were none other than Su Chenghui and Huo Jinyao.

“Hello, Uncle.” She could avoid Chou Yanbo, but she couldn’t not say hello to Su Chenghui.

“Huo Jinyao. Hello.”

She had a good relationship with Su Qingsang, and became more familiar with Huo Jinyao after spending some time with him, so she called him by his first name.

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao nodded. He was the one who was most familiar with Shi Mengwan among the three of them. “Are you alone?”

“I’m here for a meal with a client.” Huo Jinyao then looked at Shi Mengwan. “What about you?”

“Same as you.” Shi Mengwan smiled. “I was wondering why you didn’t accompany Qingsang to Japan.”

“Yeah.” He really wanted to accompany Qingsang to Japan for fun. One of the reasons why he didn’t go was that he recently had a business negotiation. The other reason was that he had the same idea as Shi Mengwan. He also wanted to give Su Qingsang a chance to be alone with Xiang Caiping.

He glanced at Su Chenghui, who appeared as if he didn’t hear anything.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll just take a look around.” Shi Mengwan tried her best to smile like she usually did.

Huo Jinyao wouldn’t pay attention to women other than Su Qingsang, so he didn’t think too much about it.

The three of them said goodbye to Shi Mengwan and went to the private room in the opposite direction. Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little worried.

Lin City was only this big, yet she was so brazen as to follow Zhan Haoze out for a meal.

One had to know that Zhan Haoze and Huo Jinyao’s company seemed to be working together. If they met…

She didn’t dare to think about it.

She no longer had the mood to enjoy the scenery outside. Shi Mengwan returned to the private room.

Zhan Haoze seemed to be on the phone. Seeing her come in, he said something to the other end of the line before hanging up.

“Are you done?”

“No.”

Shi Mengwan walked to the seat opposite him and sat down. She glanced at him and took a sip of the tea in front of her.

The tea was already cold. Zhan Haoze looked at her and raised his hand to refill the teacup in front of her.

Shi Mengwan held the teacup in her hand. The warm tea made her worry a little less, but she was still a little worried.

She didn’t seem to be in a good mood. She was in high spirits when she went out just now, but now, her attitude had suddenly changed.

Zhan Haoze looked at her, but he didn’t say anything. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea.

After a moment of silence, Shi Mengwan bit her lip and looking at Zhan Haoze, she put down the teacup.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Shi Mengwan wanted to say something, but the waiter had already started serving the dishes.

Three cold dishes, three warm dishes, and one soup. The portions weren’t much, but the dishes were delicious-looking and exquisite.

Shi Mengwan was a foodie. Although the dishes before her were the local dishes of Lin City, they were still appetizing.

She picked up her chopsticks. The incident with Huo Jinyao was temporarily thrown to the back of Shi Mengwan’s mind.

After dinner, Zhan Haoze got up and was about to leave, but he found Shi Mengwan sitting there without moving.

Zhan Haoze stopped in his tracks and looking at her as if he didn’t understand what she was thinking, she stood at the door.

“Zhan Haoze, wait a moment.”

She got up and not letting him open the door, she walked in front of him.

“Well, I met Huo Jinyao just now.”

“Huh?”

Huo Jinyao? What was he doing here? Zhan Haoze thought about it for a moment and immediately thought of it.

Li Junsheng came to Lin City. He and Huo Jinyao were childhood friends, so he took good care of Huo Jinyao.

There was a big project recently, and Huo Jinyao wanted to help his in-laws and get the Li Corporation to cooperate.

“Is there a back door here?”

“A back door?”

“Yes.” Shi Mengwan nodded. “I think, if it’s possible, it’s best if we don’t run into them, right?”

“What do you mean?” Zhan Haoze’s facial expression changed instantly. “I can’t be seen in public?”

“Isn’t that so?” Shi Mengwan didn’t back down like before. She raised her head to look at him. She cleared her throat with a hint of bitterness that she didn’t even notice.

“Alright, it’s not that you can’t be seen in public, it’s that I can’t be seen in public.”

Her gaze calm, she lowered her head to look at him. “You have a fiancée. Tell me, how am I supposed to appear in public with you?”

That was especially true for Huo Jinyao, who was Su Qingsang’s husband. If he saw her with Zhan Haoze, he would definitely tell Su Qingsang.

“I told you that I don’t have a fiancée.”

“What about Miss Chen?” Shi Mengwan didn’t want to be aggressive, nor did she want to question him, nor did she want to make others feel this way. However, she couldn’t help it.

“If she’s not your fiancée, then who is she? Your girlfriend?”

Zhan Haoze’s facial expression was very ugly now. His lips were pursed into a straight line. Anyone who knew him would know that this was a sign that he was going to flare up.

But Shi Mengwan didn’t know him. She knew the Dear Brother in her dream.

Not Zhan Haoze, who had been separated from her for more than ten years and had forgotten all the things that had happened in the past.

“Shi Mengwan, I’ll say it one more time. She’s not my girlfriend, and she’s not my fiancée.”

“Oh.”

Shi Mengwan responded with an ‘Oh’. It was obvious that she didn’t quite believe it.

Zhan Haoze looked at her face and suddenly pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

She had just drunk Longjing, and there was still the fragrance of tea leaves in her mouth. There was a hint of bitterness in the fragrance.

Shi Mengwan didn’t move. She just stared at him with her eyes wide open.

Her eyes were clear and straightforward, and her emotions were clear.

She wouldn’t resist. She would let him do whatever he wanted. But she didn’t believe him, nor did she believe what he said. That was it.

Zhan Haoze seemed to be annoyed, and he increased the force on his lips. She was in pain, but she refused to give in.

She didn’t want to go out with him like this. It wouldn’t be good if she ran into Huo Jinyao.

Zhan Haoze knew what she was thinking. He bit her lip. The force he used wasn’t heavy, but it was painful.

She was really in pain, but she looked straight at him. She didn’t respond to him, nor did she step back. She didn’t even respond at all.

He suddenly let go of her hand and took a step back. Her breathing was a little heavy, and so was his.

He looked at her deeply, then suddenly reached out to open the door and walked out.

The door had been silenced, so it didn’t make too much noise when it was opened and closed. She watched the door close. There was no sound of footsteps outside, and she didn’t move. She just stood there.

Her heart couldn’t resist Zhan Haoze, and her body couldn’t resist Zhan Haoze.

But her rationality, her dignity, and everything else told her that she still had a bottom line.

That was the bottom line that she wouldn’t allow Zhan Haoze to cross.

Even though she knew it, her legs still felt weak. She stood there and found that her heart was beating very fast.

She didn’t know how much time had passed. It was about ten minutes, or maybe twenty minutes.

She finally came back to her senses and left the private room.

There was no one in the corridor. This restaurant was really interesting. There didn’t seem to be many waiters, and there weren’t many people either.

How casual. Heh.

She didn’t meet Huo Jinyao and the others again. She went out and got into her car. She didn’t see Zhan Haoze, so she didn’t care.

She got into the car, started the car, and left quickly.

When she got home, she couldn’t fall asleep after sleeping for the entire afternoon. She went into the study and drew out all her previous inspirations.

When the clock pointed to twelve o’clock, she finally finished drawing all her inspirations.

Before she got up to go to her room to sleep, she looked in the direction of the living room. There was no one there, nor was there any sound.

One night, she didn’t hear any more knocking on the door. That man. He must have left.

When she returned to her room, she realized that the bed sheets and covers had all been changed. Some of the traces inside had also been cleaned up.

She hadn’t noticed it before. When she went to the balcony outside, she was surprised to see the bed sheets that were sunburned.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and stared at the bed sheets for a long time. Finally, she returned to her own bed to sleep.

The bed sheets and blanket she had previously kept were all dried. There was the faint smell of laundry detergent. The only thing that was missing was that man’s minty scent.

She pulled up the blanket and covered her head. In the end, she felt stuffy and had no choice but to come out again.

Sleep. It would be best if he didn’t come again.

She told herself.

… ..

Zhan Haoze really didn’t come again. More than half a month had passed.

In this half a month, Su Qingsang came back, and she went to Su Qingsang’s house a few times.

With Xiang Caiping around, her mood was much better. Xiang Caiping was a magical person, and she had the power to make people feel at ease.

She liked to get along with Xiang Caiping. There was no burden and she had no ulterior motives. She was like a kind elder.

But she didn’t expect that such an elder would have an accident.

She only found out later that Xiang Caiping was in a car accident. The reason for the car accident was because of Su Peizhen.

In the past she didn’t like her, because although Su Peizhen didn’t cause any real harm to Su Qingsang, she had always looked down on Su Qingsang, and her attitude was quite arrogant.

If she really didn’t like Su Qingsang, she could have asked Su Chenghui to chase Su Qingsang out or cut off their relationship.

However, she didn’t have the ability and didn’t do that kind of thing. Instead, she always liked to make things difficult for Su Qingsang in the open and behind the scenes.

These weren’t the main points. The main point was that Xiang Caiping was injured and her lumbar spine was injured. She was almost paralyzed.

She went to the hospital to accompany Xiang Caiping for two days in a row. Because she was worried about Xiang Caiping’s injury, she didn’t have the mood to care about where Zhan Haoze went and what he was doing during the time he disappeared.

That was until a few days before the New Year. Shi Mengwan originally only wanted to wait for the new year before returning home. In the end, her younger sister Shi Mengru called and said that the house was in an uproar again.

After she hurriedly issued instructions to take care of the studio for Xiao Qiu, she rushed home.

It wasn’t the first time the so-called uproar happened.

Her mother hadn’t given birth to a son, so her grandmother kept saying that the family wasn’t complete. In the past, she had always wanted her mother to give birth to a third child.

Later, when the doctor said that her mother had hurt her body while giving birth to Shi Mengru and that it wouldn’t be easy for her to get pregnant, her grandmother had given up.

In addition to the matter of Shi Mengwan’s disappearance, Shi Mengwan’s father had also given up the idea of giving birth to another son.

However, it was useless for Shi Mengwan’s father to give up. Shi Mengwan’s grandmother refused. She had never given up and wanted Shi Mengwan’s father to have another son.

Later, she realized that she couldn’t convince him. She brought up the old matter again and allowed Shi Mengwan’s father to take over Shi Mengwan’s uncle’s son.

Shi Mengwan’s two uncles had two sons and could take over one of them.

However, Shi Mengwan didn’t agree. Her family, the family she had decided on, was only her, her sister, her parents.

She didn’t want to have another fifth person.

Moreover, her cousin wasn’t young anymore. The youngest one was already over ten years old. He was already so old, so he wouldn’t be intimate with them.

In addition, she didn’t like the attitude of her two uncles and aunts who thought that having a son was amazing.

She had always opposed this matter. Her stance was too strong, so her parents couldn’t do anything about it. Naturally, they would listen to her on this matter.

However, her grandma would come to the house every few days to make a scene. She wouldn’t stop until she achieved her goal.

The youngest son of her youngest uncle was 11 years old this year. He also wanted to step into his uncle’s house and live a better life.

When Shi Mengwan returned home, she was anxious to explain this matter. Other than Xiao Qiu, no one knew that she had returned to her hometown.

Grandma was already 81 years old. She was an old lady from the countryside, and her health was very good.

When Shi Mengwan returned home, she heard her grandma scolding her mother.

Shi Mengwan’s mother’s surname was Chen, and she was also a famous beauty from all over the countryside. She was old, but her beauty hadn’t faded.

Shi Mengwan’s mother was at the entrance of the house, abd listening to her mother-in-law calling her a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.

She had heard these words for more than ten years, and was already immune to them.

However, Shi Mengwan couldn’t take it anymore. She hurriedly got out of the car and rushed into the courtyard. Looking at the neighbors that had been attracted by Grandma’s loud voice, she couldn’t help but get angry.

“Grandma, if my mom is a hen that doesn’t know how to lay eggs, then what are we?”

“You little girl, you still have the face to come back?”

Seeing her, Grandma Shi became even angrier. “You’re really amazing. You know how to run away to enjoy your life and leave this house to your parents. What? Am I Wrong?”

“Are you trying to say that you’re right?” Shi Mengwan wasn’t afraid of anyone after what happened that year. She was even more fearless. “My mother gave birth to me and my younger sister. Why can’t she lay eggs? If my family didn’t have my mother, would they have such a good life now? I don’t understand. Grandma, you’re already so old. Why can’t you relax and enjoy your old age? Why must you interfere with the younger generation’s matters?”

“You, you little heartless brat. How can you speak to your elders like that? Huh?”

Grandma Shi was furious, but Shi Mengwan wasn’t afraid of her. “If you want us to be filial and respectful to our elders, then you have to be worthy of being filial and respectful towards. All these years, how has my mother treated Grandma? Don’t you know? Is it meaningful for you to force my mother like this every day?”

“How am I forcing your mother? I’m doing this for her own good. Let me tell you, I’m looking for someone to send her off. She’ll have to thank me in the future.”

“Yes, thank you. Thank you for letting her raise a son for someone else, right?”

“You, you, you, you wretched girl.” Shi Nainai was furious. She raised her hand and was about to slap her.
