Chapter 346: Jian Yixin Acts as a Matchmaker for Her

The protest was ineffective.

Not only did Jian Yixin refuse, but she also mocked her, mocking her for being single for so long that she couldn't stand seeing others show off their affection.

Well, they were showing it off.

If you can't stand it, go find someone, or accept one that's already knocking at your door.

Jian Yixin was beating around the bush trying to set her and Sheng Hanyu up; Shi Youxuan could hear it, but she didn't take the bait.

She hadn't made up her mind yet.

……

"Ring-ring—"

Wang Bingbing got a headache whenever she heard a phone ring now, but when she picked it up and saw it was Sheng Hanyu's number, her face immediately lit up with joy.

She didn't answer right away, but patiently waited for the ringtone to sound three times before lightly flicking her fingertip to slide to the answer button: "Mr. Sheng, do you have something to ask of me?" Her voice was as soft as water, yet could reveal a faint sadness.

"Miss Wang, do you have time? I would like to invite you out to meet; there is something I want to discuss with you in person." This was probably the longest sentence Sheng Hanyu had ever said to her.

His voice was still so pleasant, a classic magnetic baritone; Wang Bingbing was mesmerized just by hearing his voice.

"Okay, where should we meet?"

Sheng Hanyu: "There is a black Bentley Continental parked downstairs at the hotel where you are staying; I am waiting for you in the car."

"Mr. Sheng came to pick me up in person, how could I be so bold..." Wang Bingbing's voice was impossibly sweet.

Her voice was sweet, but her heart was even sweeter.

Sheng Hanyu even knew what hotel she was staying at, which showed he had put some thought into her.

That Shi Youxuan was truly fragile; she had only just made a move, and Sheng Hanyu had already abandoned Shi Youxuan to pursue her instead.

Wang Bingbing was beautiful, but her imagination was even more beautiful; mainly because she had always been pampered by men and had never suffered any setbacks, so she mistakenly assumed that all men in the world were interested in her.

After enough pleasantries, she got to the point: "Mr. Sheng, you will need to wait for me downstairs for a while; you know girls have to put on makeup and such when they go out."

"It doesn't matter, I will wait for you, I'll wait until dark!" Sheng Hanyu's tone had no ripples.

Wang Bingbing mistook this sentence for a romantic declaration.

But if she had seen Sheng Hanyu's face, she wouldn't have thought so; Sheng Hanyu's face was as dark as ink, looking like a god of slaughter!

……

More than an hour later.

Wang Bingbing finally emerged from the hotel entrance, covered in jewelry and glowing with radiance.

It seemed the matters on the internet hadn't affected her much.

The production crew's public relations team was very powerful; they quickly settled the entertainment reporter, making him admit that those things were all fabricated by himself, and the evidence was also called a fabrication, done intentionally to grab attention.

The entertainment reporter took the blame voluntarily, of course, because there was a sufficiently generous reward!

As for the other extras, they were even easier to deal with; those people relied on the production crew for their livelihood, and a little bit of profit was enough to make them obedient.

It was precisely because the production crew's PR staff was effective that Wang Bingbing could have the peace of mind to launch a counterattack so quickly.

Before she even came out, she saw the car outside through the glass window!

This was Sheng Hanyu's car; the consecutive eights on the license plate were a symbol of status, and Wang Bingbing recognized it at a glance.

The driver opened the back door and invited her to get in.

After getting in, she discovered that Sheng Hanyu was sitting in the front passenger seat; she was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled like a flower: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, for keeping you waiting."

Usually, men who came to pick her up in person would sit in the back with her.

Once the car started and the partition in the middle was raised, whatever was said or even done in the back wouldn't be seen or heard from the driver's seat, which was very convenient!

"Drive." Sheng Hanyu didn't answer her, but coldly ordered the driver.

The car drove off, moving very fast.

But Sheng Hanyu didn't say another word, nor did he answer her, which made Wang Bingbing feel very anxious and uneasy.

She thought: He isn't here to settle scores with me, is he?

Because it was Sheng Hanyu who called her personally, she hadn't told anyone when she came down; if something were to happen, there wouldn't even be anyone who knew.

"Mr. Sheng, what did you want to talk to me about? You can say it now." Wang Bingbing asked tentatively.

Sheng Hanyu: "I'll say it when we get there."

"Where are we going?" she asked.

Sheng Hanyu impatiently interrupted: "Why are you talking so much? I'll naturally tell you when we get there; stay still and shut up."

The atmosphere was wrong.

This wasn't the atmosphere for a date, but rather the intent to hold someone accountable.

Wang Bingbing wasn't stupid; she vaguely felt something ominous.

To be safe, she prepared to send her location to her bodyguard.

She quietly placed her bag on her lap and was just about to take her phone out from inside...

"Don't move, throw the phone out." The car window beside her rolled down.

Seeing her hesitate to act, Sheng Hanyu coldly added another sentence: "If you don't throw the phone, then I'll throw you out."

"Lao Wang, open the car door."

"Click."

The door next to Wang Bingbing opened silently; the car was moving fast, and the wind "whooshed" past her ears, scaring Wang Bingbing into gripping the seat tightly and screaming repeatedly: "Ahhh—"

"What are you doing? Hurry up and close the door."

Although she looked terrified on the surface, she still didn't throw her bag out of the car, but instead dropped it to her feet, attempting to use "fear" to divert attention.

Wang Bingbing's little tricks might fool others, but they couldn't fool Sheng Hanyu.

He smiled coldly and gave the driver a look.

And so, the driver opened the car door on Wang Bingbing's other side as well!

With both car doors open, plus the car starting to speed wildly down the road in an "S" shape, she was in danger of being thrown out at any moment.

Now Wang Bingbing was truly afraid, so scared that even her voice changed pitch: "I'll throw it, I'll throw it, hurry and close the car doors."

She dared not play any more tricks, and used her foot to nudge the bag and toss it outside.

The car doors closed, it drove in a straight line, and the speed returned to normal.

"What do you want to talk to me about? Just say it here." Wang Bingbing's voice trembled; she was terrified.

The little bit of romantic interest she had for Sheng Hanyu was completely gone now.

Wang Bingbing also finally realized that Sheng Hanyu must have sought her out because of Shi Youxuan; he was taking revenge for Shi Youxuan, and now she only wanted to leave quickly and stay far away from this man.

"No need to rush, we'll be there soon." The man's tone was as calm as ever, just as if nothing had happened a moment ago.

He hadn't lied; the car soon stopped in front of a chic two-story Villa.

The surrounding environment was very good, the scenery was beautiful, with mountains, water, and a river, but there were few people.

If not for what had just happened, Wang Bingbing would certainly have thought that Sheng Hanyu wanted to have something happen between them here; this was indeed a good place for a tryst, not easily discovered by others.

But it was also a good place for imprisonment, equally not easily discovered by others!

"Where is this?" Wang Bingbing almost fell when she got out of the car, and only managed to stand steady by holding onto the car door.

Sheng Hanyu was right beside her, but he had absolutely no intention of giving her a hand, watching her in her disheveled state.

"The suburbs."

Sheng Hanyu's two simple words served as an answer, but they were basically nonsense; saying it was the same as not saying it.

The suburbs were a big place.

Lao Qi came over and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Wang was startled just now, please come in and have a cup of tea to calm your nerves."

Wang Bingbing didn't want to go in at all; the chic two-story building in front of her was like a ferocious beast to her, and Wang Bingbing had a gut feeling that nothing good would come of going inside.

She wanted to talk directly to Sheng Hanyu, but in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared.

"Where is Mr. Sheng? I'll just talk to him here; it's cool outside."

Lao Qi said: "Mr. Sheng is waiting for you inside."

She truly had no reason to refuse and could only bite the bullet and go in.

Only after going in did she realize her worries just now hadn't been excessive at all; once inside, she was firmly locked into a small room by Lao Qi.

The small room had a table and a chair, and a cup of tea was set on the table, but it couldn't calm her nerves at all.
