Chapter 209: Is It Another Love Rival?

Three days later.

The Jian Family parents returned to their country; they had arrived feeling anxious, but left feeling happy.

Their son had returned, and although Jian Yining remained abroad, he promised to go back and visit often, so the family was reconciled.

Jian Yixin did not leave; since her aunt and uncle were here, she promised to stay and accompany them for a few days.

Jian Yining saw his parents off at the airport, and just as he walked out, he received a call: "Arrange for me to meet Sheng Hanyu at noon, and help me arrange a place to stay."

"Okay."

He did not ask when that person had arrived; over the past few years, he had grown accustomed to that person's movements, which were always elusive.

When they came and when they left depended entirely on their mood; there was no pattern to follow.

"Where should I arrange it?" Jian Yining asked.

It was not that he wanted to be lazy and not make the decision, but that person was truly difficult to talk to and had excessively high requirements for the environment; if things were slightly off, they would leave immediately.

Sheng Hanyu was waiting for the meeting full of joy; if he couldn't even see the person, wouldn't he tear him apart?

Although it was possible he would tear him apart even if they did meet, it was still better than not being able to see them at all.

One was disappointment, the other was despair; they were two different concepts.

The other party said: "Whatever."

"Fine, then I'll book it at the Crown."

Crown Hotel was the best hotel in the area, but it was also the hotel where Sheng Hanyu was staying; he was definitely doing this on purpose by arranging for the two of them to be in the same place.

The other party chuckled: "You want to watch us fight so you can sit back and reap the rewards, don't you?"

"If you're afraid, I can change the place for you; I just thought the environment there was good," Jian Yining said with a straight face.

"No need to change, that's the place, you arrange it."

The other party hung up first.

Jian Yining called Sheng Hanyu: "Hanyu Ge, do you have time to have a meal together at noon? That person has arrived."

"I do."

Of course he had time, he had to have time; what else had Sheng Hanyu come here for?

"The Chinese restaurant on the sixteenth floor, twelve o'clock noon."

"Okay."

Although he remained as concise as ever on the phone, inside he was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself.

After hanging up, Sheng Hanyu opened his wardrobe and carefully selected the clothes to wear for the meeting.

However, it made no difference whether he chose or not; his wardrobe only contained black shirts and black suits.

Since being released from prison, he only wore this one color!

He shaved carefully, showered, and changed his clothes.

The meeting was at twelve, but Sheng Hanyu walked out of his room before eleven.

He was too impatient and walked a bit too fast, nearly colliding with someone coming from the opposite direction!

"Sorry."

"No problem."

The two brushed past each other, and that person turned back to glance at him.

But Sheng Hanyu did not notice; all his attention was on what he should say in a moment, and how he should act to obtain forgiveness...

He arrived at the restaurant, and sure enough, he was early.

Jian Yining had booked the entire restaurant, and it was empty, with only him sitting there waiting.

Sheng Hanyu looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time; why was time moving so slowly?

If the second hand hadn't still been moving, he would have suspected the watch was broken.

He felt as if a century had passed, but it had only been five minutes.

So he called Jian Yining: "Where have you reached?"

Jian Yining: "I haven't even left yet; don't tell me you've already arrived."

"Mm."

Sheng Hanyu said: "Can you hurry up? Or urge that person to be faster too; time is passing too slowly."

"Hanyu Ge, there is one thing I must tell you first: if the person who comes later isn't the person you want to see, you are not allowed to retaliate against me!"

"What kind of mischief are you up to?" Sheng Hanyu was displeased.

Jian Yining: "I'm not up to mischief; you'll know in a moment. Don't hold your hopes too high; the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"If it isn't her, you can just wait to go bankrupt."

Sheng Hanyu hung up, and a faint sense of unease began to stir in his heart.

Before long, Jian Yining arrived.

When the two met, he didn't waste a single word and got straight to the point: "Hanyu Ge, whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you: the person coming later is not Yingzi, it's a man."

"You're playing with me endlessly; do you think it's fun?" A dangerous light flashed in Sheng Hanyu's eyes.

On the surface, he looked very calm, but his body leaned forward slightly, and he squinted his eyes as he stared at Jian Yining.

He couldn't help but shiver; every time Sheng Hanyu looked at someone like that, that person would meet with misfortune, and since he was the one who would meet with misfortune, this feeling was not pleasant.

"I'm not playing with you, I really am not."

Twelve o'clock sharp.

The door to the private room was pushed open, and the person who entered was indeed a man!

The man was very handsome, with strong, well-defined facial features, a height of fully one point nine meters, a wasp waist and narrow hips; he was a typical clothes hanger, and everything he wore looked good.

Perhaps like poles repel.

The moment Sheng Hanyu saw the man, he could feel the hostility radiating from his entire body!

He did not have a good impression of the man either; as long as the person entering was not Shi Youxuan, anyone else would be an enemy to him, Sheng Hanyu!

This person looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before...

Right, Sheng Hanyu remembered; when he was walking out of the room, he had almost bumped into him.

And this person seemed to be staying right next door to him.

"Let me make an introduction."

Jian Yining acted as if he couldn't feel the tense atmosphere in the air, smiling as he introduced the newcomer to Sheng Hanyu: "Zhu Yiwen, Chairman Zhu, the richest man in L Country, with businesses spread all over the world."

"Over these years, thanks to Chairman Zhu's care, I've made quite a bit of money, but he is very low-key and doesn't like to show off, so Hanyu Ge, you misunderstood..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized he hadn't introduced Sheng Hanyu yet.

He immediately changed the subject, pointing at him and saying: "Sheng Hanyu, a renowned business prodigy from my hometown, Jiangzhou..."

This time, it was Sheng Hanyu who interrupted him: "No need for your chatter, Chairman Zhu knows all this, please sit."

He didn't flip out?

Not only did he not flip out, he didn't even show a hint of disappointment, which surprised Jian Yining.

"Please."

The two sat down, and there was basically nothing left for Jian Yining to do.

As soon as Sheng Hanyu sat down, he asked: "What is your relationship with Shi Yucheng?"

"Relatives," said Zhu Yiwen.

"Relatives?

Sheng Hanyu smiled faintly, his face showing mockery: "How come I've never heard that Shi Yucheng had relatives in L Country?"

Zhu Yiwen's expression did not change: "There are many things you haven't heard of."

"Are you also Shi Youxuan's business partner? Is she doing well?"

"I don't know the person you're talking about, and our Zhu Family business doesn't partner with anyone; we only have collaborations, no shareholders. I wonder if Chairman Sheng is satisfied with this answer?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Not satisfied, you are lying."

Zhu Yiwen: "Lying to you? Are you worthy?" In L Country, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming increasingly tense, Jian Yining came over to smooth things over and ease the tension: "Chairman Zhu, you've misunderstood Chairman Sheng. He is straightforward and inflexible; if there was any offense, I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Step aside."

Sheng Hanyu did not appreciate the gesture.

Not only did he not appreciate it, he even spoke up to drive Jian Yining away: "You go; you aren't needed here."

Zhu Yiwen also said: "Right, go busy yourself with your own affairs; we will have a talk."

Jian Yining didn't want to leave; he was afraid that if they kept talking, they would end up fighting.

But then he thought again: let them fight!

Why should he worry about them fighting?

He wouldn't even worry if they beat each other's brains out, so he left.

Only the two of them were left in the private room, and Sheng Hanyu threatened: "This is the United States, not your L Country. Your style back home is useless here, and it's even more useless in Jiangzhou."
