Chapter 52

"Chu Qingqing, is this the best you could prepare?" Mu Yan looked at the Audi A8 the little girl had prepared and was somewhat taken aback.

The car wasn't bad, but the license plate clearly belonged to the municipal government. Driving this car out, anyone would recognize it.

"This is the car I managed to get from Mom's secretary. We can't just take a taxi, and you don't have a car!" Chu Qingqing pouted.

Mu Yan, caught between laughter and tears, said, "Leave the car to me. It's only four o'clock now. I'll pick you up at half past five. Just help An'an get dressed up nicely."

"I live in Tianfu Garden with Sister Xuan, not with other city leaders!" Chu Qingqing reminded him.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Tianfu Garden at half past five!"

After saying that, Mu Yan went home. His mother was already preparing dinner. Mu Yan directly told his mother he had something to go out for, then changed into the Italian suit. It had rained a bit yesterday, cooling down a few degrees, making it suitable to wear the suit in the evening.

"Xiaoyan, dressed so handsomely, are you going on a date with Wenwen?" Mu Fangfang asked curiously when she saw Mu Yan in his suit.

"No, an old classmate's birthday. They called me after finding out I'm back. I can't be too shabby!" Mu Yan found an excuse.

After explaining, Mu Yan took out his phone and quickly found Yu Jing's number. This was her private number he had just obtained, and he dialed it without hesitation.

Yu Jing, in a villa in the outskirts of Donghai, was staring at Han Yuanchao, who was holding a pen but not moving. Shan Shan stood beside her, both of them calm and composed.

Han Yuanchao, who looked no more than fifty at the meeting yesterday, seemed to have aged over a decade in just one day. His cloudy eyes stared at the documents on the table, and his hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

"Uncle Han, I advise you not to hesitate any longer. Sign it and take the money to leave. You betrayed me, even if it wasn't your intention, but you should know I can't trust you anymore. The Su family won't trust you either. Both of us want the shares you hold. I've already solved your son's problem. Although he might spend two years in jail, it's better than being held hostage. You should know I've been fair to you. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be two years for your son!"

"I know, I know!" Han Yuanchao gritted his teeth and signed the share transfer contract.

"That's better, Uncle Han. You're old, and a few billion yuan is enough for your family to live on. Leaving too much to your son might not be a good thing. When he gets out, it's best to keep him in check!" Seeing Han Yuanchao sign, Yu Jing gave him a cold warning.

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Yu Jing glanced at it and couldn't help but smile.

Han Yuanchao had never seen Yu Jing smile like that before. Although he had seen her smile before, it was always a formal or cold smile. But that brief, sweet smile made him very curious. Who was the person on the other end of the phone, capable of melting this ice queen?

Of course, Han Yuanchao knew he might never have the chance to find out. After selling his shares, he would leave here.

Solving the issue with Han Yuanchao's shares lifted a heavy burden from Yu Jing. Feeling quite pleased, she was puzzled when Mu Yan called to borrow a car but agreed after some thought.

However, she didn't want others to know about her personal matters, so she instructed Shan Shan.

Mu Yan met Shan Shan for the first time. This woman, who wore a scarf even in the warm weather, made Mu Yan feel a sense of threat. Although Mu Yan believed he would still win in a real fight, a woman giving him such a strong sense of threat was surprising. At that moment, he realized he might not know Yu Jing well enough, especially why such a person was by her side.

But time was running out. Getting into the Lotus sports car Shan Shan brought, Mu Yan stepped on the gas and headed for Tianfu Garden.

When he arrived at Tianfu Garden, it was already seven or eight minutes past the agreed time. From a distance, Mu Yan saw a girl standing by the roadside, wearing a long, pink, strapless evening gown, her long hair flowing, and a pearl necklace with a lustrous glow around her neck. She was radiant, and many passersby couldn't help but look at her.

An'an had only applied a light makeup, but with this outfit, she transformed from a delicate and refined young lady into a beautiful and charming debutante.

The Lotus sports car stopped in front of her. When Mu Yan got out, Chu Qingqing looked at him in surprise, then at the car, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Yan, your transformation is too impressive! The price of this outfit and this car is enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment in a high-end residential area near the school!"

"Alright, stop complaining about the high housing prices in Donghai. An'an, let's go!" Mu Yan urged, as it was getting late.

After the two got in the car, Chu Qingqing leaned out the window and said to Mu Yan, "Brother Yan, I'm entrusting An'an to you. Take good care of her. But today, An'an is so beautiful, I'm tempted myself. You, bad guy, don't get any ideas!"

Then she turned to An'an and said, "An'an, if Brother Yan can't control himself, just whisper Teacher Zhou's name in his ear and see if his conscience can pass the test!"

"Qingqing, will you stop it? We're going to be late!" Mu Yan was defeated by her nagging.

Realizing it was indeed getting late, Chu Qingqing gave Mu Yan a glare and left the car.

The Lotus sports car quickly disappeared from their sight, and some passersby sighed, lamenting that another beautiful flower had been picked by the rich.
