Chapter 285: 285, A glance, and then fell in love
There was a car parked under the shadow of a tree, with someone inside watching her intently.
Seeing Song Qinghuan’s elegant figure slowly entering the villa area, the person sitting in the car, whose breath had previously been as calm as water, suddenly emanated a tinge of sourness.
Zhan Jie bit her lip, her eyes instantly reddening.
As a popular TV host, her unique profession distinguished her from most beautiful women, making her not only beautiful but also full of personality.
Moreover, her status as the daughter of a high-ranking official, no matter how pretentious, arrogant or domineering she was, always attracted many men.
She met Shi Yuhuan at a business party, and she instantly liked him at first sight, thinking it was just admiration, given she had seen many excellent men before.
However, after a simple conversation, she found herself wanting to get closer to this man, even though he seemed aloof.
The proud her thought she could move him with her charm, only to find his gaze on her was never anything but cold and indifferent at any time.
Yet she believed that even if he didn’t like her, he should also try to approach her; after all, with her status and his position as a businessman, it would only be beneficial if they were together.
But after so long, his attitude towards her has never changed, always polite but distant, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, frigid and devoid of any emotion.
To get closer to him, to talk more with him, to have a meal with him, she not only opened a private kitchen, occasionally calling him to eat like she was conducting business, but also wheedled her father to help him secure some projects.
Even though she knew he didn’t need assistance, and even looked down on her help.
But at the very least he still was a gentleman, thanked her politely, invited her to dinner, despite his indifference and perfunctory behavior, it was far better than just being able to watch him from afar, she was very content with it.
She remembered one time, when she rode in Shi Yuhuan’s car. That day the car passed here, he got off at this place, instructing the driver to take her home.
That day she guessed Shi Yuhuan might reside in this community, later she asked the driver, and it was just as she suspected.
However, she never visited here, and of course, Shi Yuhuan would not invite her over.
Given Song Qinghuan’s social status, how could she possibly reside in such an upscale townhouse complex? The only possibility was exactly as she suspected, she was already married, and it was to Shi Yuhuan.
Thinking about this, Zhan Jie suddenly started to chuckle, laughter triggered tears to stream down her face.
After her laughter subsided, she became calm, gently gazing at the direction where Song Qinghuan disappeared, there was a hint of mist in her eyes, but after a blink, all that was left was coldness.
At noon, Song Qinghuan prepared to go to the restaurant for lunch but unexpectedly received a call from Zhan Jie, inviting her out to meet.
Inside the quiet western restaurant, Song Qinghuan looked at Zhan Jie sitting across from her.
She was wearing a vintage long red dress, a black cashmere shawl, her hair in long waves, smart yet glamorous, elegant yet confident. Compared to her own casual outfit, standing next to her was like being completely outclassed.
Song Qinghuan frowned slightly, biting her lip: “I wonder what Miss Zhan wants to talk to me about?”
Zhan Jie took a sip of coffee, gave a faint smile and asked, “Have you seen Zhan Cheng recently?”
Song Qinghuan shook her head: “No.”
