He had imagined Su Wan’s reaction when she found out. Heart-wrenching, disbelief, pain, or hatred…
However, he had never thought that it would be so calm. There was no shock in her eyes. It was as if she had seen something ordinary.
Jing Chen had never thought about it, so it was quite difficult for him to accept it now.
After glancing at Bai Lian, he said to her, “I’ll send you back.”
Bai Lian pouted indignantly and looked at him impatiently. She was naturally unhappy. “Am I shameful for others to see? Why do you keep asking me to go home?”
“You can go wherever you want. It’s not like you don’t have legs. Have I ever interfered with you?”
Jing Chen retorted quickly.
Bai Lian felt extremely upset when she heard this. She said angrily, “I just want you to accompany me. It’s so boring for me to be alone.”
“Where’s your assistant? Get Lin Xiu to accompany you.”
Jing Chen did not want to say anything else to her and left first. Bai Lian wanted to see Grandpa, but he was unwilling. Grandpa had not woken up, so what could change if they met Grandpa?
Until Bai Lian kept dawdling in the ward, then did Jing Chen know that Qin Lan was going to bring Su Wan to see Grandpa.
Jing Chen understood what Qin Lan meant.
Qin Lan would take the initiative to tell him a lot of news about Su Wan, and Jing Chen was willing to listen. The thing he looked forward to the most every day was answering Qin Lan’s call, because it was all about Su Wan.
He had forgotten Bai Lian’s motive. She must have heard the contents of his call with Qin Lan and insisted on coming. She delayed until now just to let Su Wan see them.
At the thought of this, Jing Chen glanced at her. She was quite unhappy too.
Bai Lian met his eyes. His gaze seemed to have seen through all her thoughts. Bai Lian sneered and did not hide anything. She said bluntly, “Jing Chen, I did it on purpose. I just came to see Su Wan’s most direct reaction after she finds out about this. I’m very disappointed.”
Bai Lian’s eyes seemed to be saying, do you know what I mean?
Jing Chen retracted his gaze and looked ahead. He said coldly, “I didn’t tell her in advance. I told you long ago that she didn’t like me. It’s only right for you to be disappointed. It’s expected.”
Bai Lian frowned. She was naturally dissatisfied with this answer. It was not like she had never interacted with Su Wan before. How could she not have feelings for Jing Chen?
She retorted, unwilling to accept it, “Impossible. Stop lying to me. If Su Wan doesn’t like you. Why doesn’t she want to be your sister, why does she have to be your wife? She’s not stupid to make her identity so complicated.”
Jing Chen was silent. He had not thought of this.
He did not continue speaking. He got into the car and asked Zhao Lin to send Bai Lian back to her residence.
During this period of time, he had also stayed in Bai Lian’s villa at her request, but the two of them slept in separate rooms.
Apart from at night, Jing Chen basically did not even enter the villa.
Bai Lian was unhappy, so she asked for more. Before getting out of the car, she said unhappily, “You have a gathering with your friends tomorrow? I want to go.”
As long as she did not say anything, Jing Chen would definitely not invite her. They were obviously not a normal couple.
Hearing this, Jing Chen frowned. “If Su Wan isn’t going, why are you going?”
Bai Lian sized him up with a puzzled expression. “Am I not your girlfriend? Shouldn’t your friends know of my existence?”
Jing Chen pursed his lips. “Bai Lian, aren’t you asking for too much?”
Bai Lian said righteously, “Yes, so what?”
“…”
Bai Lian looked at the speeding car and smiled in satisfaction. Su Wan didn’t want to go? This was not something that she had a choice in to or not to go.
If she couldn’t start with Su Wan, couldn’t she start with her best friend?
To put it bluntly, that banquet was purely for fun.
The reason why Jing Chen went was because the person who organized it was his good friend for many years. He went to support him.
Jing Chen had done such things before. As far as Bai Lian knew, Jing Chen had never brought a woman there, not even during the two years he was married to Su Wan.
If she went, it would at least be a sensation.
Bai Lian’s gloominess from before was swept away. She entered the villa and asked Lin Xiu to accompany her to choose a beautiful dress.
She quietly released some rumors.
She was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The worst outcome was that Su Wan wouldn’t go. So what? It would reach Su Wan’s ears sooner or later.
