Chapter 185: Warlord Young Commander vs. Shanghai's No. 1 Socialite 9
In late summer, a gust of wind is followed by a rain. Just as you feel the cool wind, heavy rain falls down, and water vapor floats into the room from the windowsill in an instant.
Adjutant Sun closed the window and turned to report to Shen Tingzhou.
"Young Marshal, I just received a call from my wife. There will be a banquet at the Jiang family tonight."
The chair beside the bed was empty; Chun Nian had already left.
Shen Tingzhou held a cigarette between two fingers, his face was cold and deep, and the unpredictable meaning in his eyes was not very clear through the smoke.
Jiang Zhennan majored in military engineering, and the Governor's Office specifically called to invite Shen Tingzhou to attend the Jiang family banquet, just to win over people's hearts.
He suddenly remembered that night in front of the Chun family's gate, Chun Nianren had said that she had heard of Jiang Dingbei before because of Jiang Zhennan...
Chun Nianren has been busy with fundraising for the welfare home recently and has to meet many people every day. Her clothes are mainly low-key and comfortable. She wears a long turquoise cheongsam and a pair of simple teardrop-shaped green emerald earrings.
"Read people."
When Jiang Zhennan saw her, he walked towards her with a gentle smile, looking dignified and elegant.
"Zhennan."
Chun Nianren smiled and stretched out his hand.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Jiang Zhennan politely shook her fingertips.
"Have you gotten better from your old illness? Autumn is coming soon, so you should pay more attention to your health."
Chunnian had poor lungs. That year, the dormitory building caught fire and he was trapped for too long, inhaling too much smoke and damaging his lungs.
When he was hospitalized, Chun's family was unable to quench their thirst with distant help.
In the end, the people who helped and took care of her were several classmates from the British Study Abroad Society, including Jiang Zhennan.
Later, they became friends and had a good relationship.
"Much better now. How long will you stay this time? Are you going to England again?"
"Two weeks."
Jiang Zhennan smiled helplessly.
"My parents objected because they didn't understand. Now I have explained the situation to them and I will return to school before the new semester starts."
Chun Nianren saw Chun Zhiyi walking around the dessert counter not far away. The woman next to her had a quiet temperament, dimples on her face when she smiled, and spoke gently.
"Have you talked to Song Yin about Miss Zhao's matter?"
Jiang Zhennan smiled bitterly when he heard this. He had originally come back to resolve the issue that his family did not agree with him continuing to study for a doctorate in the UK. Who could have expected that he would be hit hard and find out that his family was planning an arranged marriage for him.
"Song Yin came back to Shanghai with me. I originally planned to bring her home to meet my parents, but she wanted to go back to Shenyang to see her parents first, so she didn't know yet."
"When she arrives in Shanghai in a few days, I will explain the engagement to her. I will never marry Miss Zhao according to my family's wishes."
Chun Nianren is good friends with Song Yin and Jiang Zhennan, so naturally he doesn't want their future to be ruined because of the Jiang family's arrangement.
"I don't know Miss Zhao, but I know Song Yin. If you can't handle your relationship with Miss Zhao well, is there any chance for you and Song Yin?"
"I see."
Jiang Zhennan nodded and remembered something.
"What's going on between you and Xianlin? Dingbei told me that you are getting married?"
Chun Nianren frowned when he heard this and burst out laughing.
"Young Master Jiang is truly a man who can create waves out of nothing."
Jiang Zhennan also understood Chun Nian's temperament a little.
"Do you really not like it? Or do you not like it 'yet'?"
But before Chun Nian could speak, Miss Zhao came over.
She is from Suzhou and speaks in the soft and gentle style of the Jiangnan Wu dialect.
"Brother Jiang, Miss Chun."
Miss Zhao's eyes first swept across Chun Nian's face, then she looked at Jiang Zhennan shyly but bravely and extended an invitation.
"Brother Jiang, can we dance together?"
Chun Nianren looked at Jiang Zhennan with amusement.
There was a dance floor in the middle of the ballroom dance, and the record player was playing retro waltz music.
The Jiang family's dance party had ulterior motives in the first place, and it would be inappropriate for a guest like her to join in the fun.
"I have an appointment with a friend, so I'm leaving first."
When Chun Nianren left, he could still hear Jiang Zhennan's voice behind him.
"Ms. Zhao, I've already told you that I already have a girlfriend. The Jiang family will discuss the cancellation of the engagement with the Zhao family tomorrow..."
When I walked out of the villa, it was already dark outside.
The Chun family driver hasn't driven the car over yet.
She stood by the green lawn and looked back to admire the Jiang family's villa.
The eclectic architectural style, with a small dome pavilion, pure formal beauty...
A jeep suddenly stopped in front of her.
Adjutant Sun came down and opened the car door for her.
In the dim light, the man with a strong aura was dressed in a rare suit and tie, with his long legs crossed calmly, his wrists resting on his knees, and a cigarette between his two slender fingers.
A bit of bloody red with a wisp of smoke rising.
Shen Tingzhou glanced at her sideways. There was a garden lamp next to her, and the gentle light was shining on her side.
Chun Nian stood there motionless, with no intention of getting in the car at all.
Shen Tingzhou threw the cigarette under his feet, stepped over it, and got out of the car in two steps.
The Chun family's car just drove over, and Chun Nianren walked over.
Shen Tingzhou reached for his suit jacket in the car and followed her closely.
As soon as Chun Nianren got into the car, he saw the door on the other side was opened and a man sat in calmly.
Adjutant Sun pulled open the driver's seat and pointed to the jeep parked opposite to the Chun family driver.
"You drive that one."
After the driver got out of the car, Adjutant Sun closed the door and stood three steps away with his back turned.
Shen Tingzhou saw her giving him a cold look and smiled instead.
"What is your relationship with Jiang Zhennan?"
"Is it related to Marshal Shen?"
Her question was stinging, but Shen Tingzhou nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"Of course, considering the time you've known each other and your relationship, if you like him, I have no chance of winning."
Chun Nianren's expression fell, and the coldness in his eyes was crushed by his words.
If her attitude just now was aggressive.
So in Shen Tingzhou's eyes, the expression on her face when she understood that sentence was cute, as she lost her composure and quickly put on defense.
Shen Tingzhou reached out and picked her up, letting her sit sideways on his lap, with his arms firmly clasping her waist.
Chun Nianren tried to leave with trembling eyelashes, but he held her tightly. Her rosy lips were pursed into a thin line. She could not bear it any longer and squeezed out two powerful words.
"rogue!"
Shen Tingzhou leaned back, and his posture and the look in his eyes as he looked at her had a kind of unbridled banditry.
"When you looked at my body yesterday, I didn't call Miss Chun a hooligan."
Chun Nianren's beautiful eyes widened slightly, with a look of disbelief in them. Yesterday, when she went to deliver soup, she happened to run into Sun Cheng changing the medicine for him.
He was obviously shirtless.
"Shameless!"
Shen Tingzhou remained motionless, just smiling and looking at her quietly.
The closer you are, the clearer it is.
Her demeanor was so vivid.
That spotless white now had a blushing color.
That flawless and rosy beauty was now slightly sunken.
At this moment, those brilliant fox eyes were staring at him with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.
There was a smile on his lips, his eyes were focused and straightforward, and he seemed a little...
