Chapter 63 A Missed Encounter (2/2)
”Jiang Hua!” A Miao spotted Jiang Hua who was walking behind the middle-aged man.
Jiang Hua gave her a reassuring smile. ”Don't worry. I'm here to fetch you.”
The first thing the owner of the place did was apologizing to the short-haired woman. ”I'm very sorry. It's our staff who is responsible for this matter.”
”What?”
”Boss?”
Amid the differing reactions, A Miao noticed that the first person that the staff looked at was Bai Lu.
”This is the private matters of our club. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience this brings.” The middle-aged boss waved and the man standing at the door ran in and handed him some cards.
”Here are our club's annual VIP cards as gifts to all you young ladies. Consider them our sincere apology!”
The short-haired woman and her friend accepted the cards without another word after looking at them. These cards were worth a lot more than their ring!
The owner told his subordinate to see the women out and even gave them several sets of cosmetics.
”How wonderful, A Miao!” Bai Lu suddenly pulled A Miao's hand. ”Didn't I say it was all a misunderstanding? So their staff is responsible for this incident.”
Right then, the staff looked at Bai Lu in horror. She was about to open her mouth when Bai Lu looked at her. ”Sigh! I'm sure you'll lose your job. What would you do when that happens?”
”I...” The staff opened her mouth but slowly lowered her head under Bai Lu's gaze.
Jiang Hua patted A Miao on the shoulder. ”Let's go!”
”Oh, okay!” A Miao immediately pulled Zhou Xiao with her. Bai Lu followed them out of the club and addressed them with an apologetic face. ”I'm very sorry. Things would have been fine if I didn't leave. I didn't think something like this would happen.”
She glanced at Jiang Hua. ”But I didn't expect Professor Jiang to come!”
Jiang Hua gave her a faint smile. ”I have business with A Miao. When I heard that she's in trouble, I came over to have a look.”
”Is that so?” Bai Lu looked at A Miao with a smile. ”I'll treat you to dinner some other day. I'll be taking my leave!”
A Miao didn't have the mood to play along with her. After Bai Lu left, she said, ”Zhou Xiao, hurry and go home. There won't be any minibus later.”
”What about you?” Zhou Xiao was experiencing a lingering fear after such an incident. She didn't need A Miao's reminder to go home.
”Don't worry about me.” A Miao saw her off at the bus stop. After seeing Zhou Xiao board the minibus, she turned around and bowed. ”Thank you, Professor Jiang!”
Jiang Hua laughed. ”Then why don't you treat me to dinner?” He pointed at the coffee shop by the road.
”No problem!” A Miao was also laughing. ”Let's go.”
Both of them entered the coffee shop, briefly passing by a car driving in the opposite direction.
In the lobby of the club, a staff was sobbing as she pleaded with her boss.
”I wouldn't dare to do it anymore. Please don't fire me, boss.”
The middle-aged man snorted. ”Idiot! Who do you think you are, getting yourself involved in the games of those young ladies? Do you know who the girl is? You nearly brought me huge troubles and you still dream of staying?”
”I...” She wanted to say that Miss Bai Lu told her that the girl wasn't anyone important but then she saw a sudden change in her boss' expression. She followed his line of sight and saw several men walking in with quick steps.
She gaped at the man in the middle. How could there be such a good-looking man in the world?
”President Shen!” Her boss immediately went up to the man to welcome him.
”I heard my fiancee got into a little trouble in your club.” Shen Xinglan glanced at him. ”Where is she?”
The middle-aged man instantly paled. That woman was Shen Xinglan's fiancee? Then what was her relationship with the man who called him to personally settle this issue?
”President... President Shen, your fiancee has left,” he finally brought himself to reply. He felt like he had learned some major secret.
Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes. ”She left?”
”Yes, yes, yes. I've already settled the issue. It's all a misunderstanding. A man came to fetch her.”
Back in the car, Shen II looked at Shen Xinglan and cautiously asked, ”Why don't I give Shen I a call? He's shadowing Miss.”
”What's there to call?” Shen Xinglan's eyes narrowed. ”Return to the company.”
Shen II answered in affirmation before reminding him, ”It's after-work hours...”
”What after-work hours when the meeting isn't over?” Shen Xinglan wore a sinister expression. ”Tell them to bring their asses over for the meeting.”
”Yes!”
When the car reached the junction, Shen Xinglan suddenly called for Shen II. ”Stop the car.”
”Boss?” Shen II barely reacted when he saw Shen Xinglan opening the car door and entering a coffee shop by the road with large strides.
A Miao was happily listening to Jiang Hua's stories about archaeology when a shadow suddenly enveloped her vision.
”Why are you here?” She looked up and got a fright when she saw Shen Xinglan.
Shen Xinglan's gaze fell on Jiang Hua. The two men exchanged looks before Shen Xinglan swiftly looked away.
”I'm here to fetch my fiancee!” Shen Xinglan looked at A Miao. ”Are you done with your dinner? Let's go home if you're done.”
A Miao looked at him like she was looking at a mental patient. ”I can go home by myself, no need to inconvenience you.”
”Looks like you're done,” Shen Xinglan said, ignoring her. ”Let's go.”
He reached out to grab A Miao's hand and pulled her to her feet.
