The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 70: The Adopted Daughter of a Wealthy Family (26)

But Jian Fan's eyes that suddenly lit up and his impatient footsteps told Jiang Xia that what Jian Fan said was true.

But Jiang Xia didn't want to admit defeat, and he didn't want to admit defeat to someone he had never even met.

An Hai was shocked. It turned out that what his girlfriend said was right. Miss Jiang just wanted to rekindle her relationship with the boss under the pretext of meeting old friends.

This was a big deal. An Hai was so excited that he rushed to Jiang Xia and tried to stop him.

"Miss Jiang, I'm afraid that won't work. Mr. Jian and his wife haven't seen each other for a long time. It's probably not appropriate to disturb their time at this time, right?"

Jiang Xia's face turned even paler, but she still insisted, "It's because they haven't seen each other for a long time that I have to personally explain this misunderstanding to Afan's wife. I can't let them quarrel just because of the first time I see them after a long time."

Jiang Xia was about to go past An Hai to chase Jian Fan, but An Hai of course wouldn't agree and said he had to stop him no matter what.

An Hai always stood in front of Jiang Xia, preventing Jiang Xia from taking a single step forward.

"Miss Jiang doesn't need to explain the matter between Mr. Jian and his wife. Mr. Jian can handle it himself. Besides, our wife trusts Mr. Jian very much and will not misunderstand her husband. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Jiang."

An Hai was almost unable to stop her. As an assistant, he couldn't just grab Miss Jiang directly. He was a little hesitant to stop her and could only ask for help from Jiang Feng, who had been following Jiang Xia without saying a word.

Jiang Feng was even more helpless than An Hai. If he had known how to deal with his own sister, he would not have lied to Jian Fan under the guise of a party in the first place.

Moreover, Jiang Feng has been praying that Bai Zhuo can return home as soon as possible. Jiang Feng has always believed that Jiang Xia will only give up after meeting Bai Zhuo, discovering Bai Zhuo's excellence, and seeing with his own eyes that Jian Fan is obedient to Bai Zhuo, extremely gentle, and wants to hold him in his hands.

But now Jiang Feng couldn't just say nothing. He also knew that Jian Fan and his wife hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Jian Fan had been worried about Bai Zhuo who suddenly went abroad.

We shouldn't disturb them at this time. Jiang Feng reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia who was trying to rush forward. "Even if we want to meet Jian Fan's wife, we should wait until they are done with their work before we bring gifts to their house. It's too rude to meet them without any preparation at this time."

An Hai didn't know that Jiang Feng wanted Jiang Xia to meet Bai Zhuo as soon as possible in order to make Jiang Xia give up. An Hai just felt that his boss had chosen the wrong person. How could President Jiang do this?

First he helped his sister to deceive the boss, and now he knows that his sister has some intentions towards the boss but still agrees for Miss Jiang to meet the boss's wife. Does he think that the boss's wife's elder brother was not harsh enough?

But An Hai could only think about these words in his heart. He had no reason to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs. All he could do now was to prevent Miss Jiang from disturbing the boss and the boss's wife.

But An Hai forgot that Jiang Xia was not going to the lounge, but Jian Fan and Bai Zhuo were going back to the office.

Jian Fan was filled with joy and rushed into the lounge without stopping. Bai Zhuo, who was sitting uncomfortably in the lounge, smiled reflexively when he saw him and wanted to say hello. However, Jian Fan rushed over and hugged him as soon as he stood up.

"Zhuozhuo, are you trying to scare me to death? You ran away from home for such a long time without explaining anything clearly, and you didn't give me any useful information. I'm almost going crazy with anxiety."

This month has made Jian Fan, who has always remained calm in times of crisis, feel like the days are passing by like years.

Bai Zhuo's body stiffened instantly, his lips trembled a few times, and he could only say anxiously, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Upon hearing this, Jian Fan let go of Bai Zhuo, stared into Bai Zhuo's eyes, and said solemnly, "So don't scare me like this again in the future, understand?"

After Jian Fan finished speaking, he was busy observing Bai Zhuo's condition, checking if Bai Zhuo was injured or anything was wrong, so much so that he did not realize that Bai Zhuo did not answer all his questions as he did in the past.

After making sure that Bai Zhuo had no health problems, Jian Fan was about to pull Bai Zhuo to sit down and ask him about his situation during this period, but was stopped by Bai Zhuo.

"Are you busy today? I have something to discuss with you and it may take some of your time." Jian Fan subconsciously took Bai Zhuo's hand and tightened it. Faced with Bai Zhuo's unusual seriousness, Jian Fan began to feel inexplicably uneasy.

"What happened? Are you having any trouble? Let's go to the office and talk about it?"

Bai Zhuo shook his head and said, "If you're not busy, let's talk about it when we get home." Bai Zhuo couldn't predict Jian Fan's reaction when he mentioned divorce, so she didn't want to bring up this matter in the company where there were so many people coming and going. Bai Zhuo just thought of this in the lounge.

Jian Fan felt even more uneasy. In the past, Bai Zhuo would never let him go home while he was working, as she was always afraid of disturbing him at work.

"Okay, I'll go get some clothes and we'll talk when we get home." Jian Fan never let go of Bai Zhuo's hand from beginning to end, so Bai Zhuo followed him out.

During the ten-odd steps from the lounge to the office, Bai Zhuo's eyes were always on their clasped hands, but there was no sadness on Bai Zhuo's face anymore, because Bai Zhuo knew that only if she acted calm enough and didn't care enough, their marriage could be divorced faster.

So Jian Fan and Bai Zhuo ran into the Jiang siblings who were entangled with each other.

Jian Fan was stunned when he thought that An Hai hadn't sent anyone in yet. Although Jian Fan had a clear conscience, he was still a little worried when Bai Zhuo saw Jiang Xia.

The main reason is that it is very obvious that Jian Fan has completely forgotten about Jiang Xia, but it is also very obvious that Jiang Xia still has feelings for Jian Fan, so Jian Fan is very afraid that Bai Zhuo will misunderstand him.

Jian Fan had originally planned to resolve Bai Zhuo's issue before explaining to Bai Zhuo everything about him and Jiang Xia. Jian Fan had no intention of letting Bai Zhuo hear about him and Jiang Xia from other people, and even less did he want Bai Zhuo to hear about their past from Jiang Xia.

So Jian Fan had no plan to let Jiang Xia and Bai Zhuo meet today. Who knew that An Hai actually didn't send anyone down. But since they had already met, Jian Fan would not hide it.

"Zhuozhuo, this is Jiang Feng's sister Jiang Xia. She just came back from studying in Country M a few days ago." Bai Zhuo had met Jiang Feng before, so there was no need for an introduction.

In the past two years, Jian Fan often took Bai Zhuo to gatherings with their friends.

Bai Zhuo nodded calmly and said, "Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll wait for you in the cafe." Bai Zhuo was talking about the branch of the cafe she had opened before, which was very close to Jian Fan's company.

At this point, Bai Zhuo doesn't want to, and doesn't have the energy to, get involved in Jian Fan and Jiang Xia's affairs, so Bai Zhuo doesn't want to confront Jiang Xia head-on.

Jian Fan didn't know that Bai Zhuo already knew about the photo, so he didn't think Bai Zhuo's avoidance was abnormal, but Jian Fan still stopped Bai Zhuo and said, "We don't have anything to deal with. They were about to leave anyway. Wait a moment and I'll take a look at the situation."
