Chapter 94 - His Trust (1/2)
As he watched the familiar vehicle drove away, Zhang Yu Han heaved a sigh in relief. He did not expect that he would be meeting Li Qin Yao's mother when he came to find her.
Finally, it felt as if he can breathe easier without Xu Yilan's scrutinizing gaze on him. Or was he overthinking things?
Zhang Yu Han snapped out from his thought and turned to Li Qin Yao. ”Wei Jun Hao texted me earlier and said that something cropped up and he might be late.”
Earlier, Zhang Yu Han had called his friend to inform him of this sudden change of plan. Of course, Wei Jun Hao was infuriated. However, after Zhang Yu Han made a few deals with him, Wei Jun Hao reluctantly agreed to meet up with the agreement draft.
”Is your phone okay now?”
Her question made him paused. It was then that Zhang Yu Han realized that he had given an excuse that something was wrong with his phone and therefore he could not contact her.
”Well, I tried to switch it off and on again when you went upstairs and suddenly, everything turned out alright,” he lied.
”Oh,” Li Qin Yao nodded. ”Then, what's your plan now?”
”Let's head to your office first,” Zhang Yu Han said. ”I'll text Jun Hao your address and asked him to come over later.”
”Is that alright?”
”Of course. His office is in B City. It shouldn't be difficult.” He led her to his Cayenne and opened the door for her. Then he went to the driver's side and put the key into the ignition. Only when he was sure that Li Qin Yao had fastened her seatbelt, that he started to drive.
After five minutes, they suddenly found themselves stuck in the traffic. It seemed that B City is more congested than Y City. Perhaps it was due to this that Li Qin Yao would prefer to use public transport.
Zhang Yu Han glanced at the woman beside him and decided to end the silence between them. ”Can I ask you something?”
Li Qin Yao was looking out the window when she heard his voice. She tilted her head and said, ”What is it?”
”Why didn't you stay and work with your grandfather in Capital City?” though he had heard the reason through Wei Jun Hao's report, Zhang Yu Han wanted to know what was her thought.
Li Qin Yao was startled as she was not expecting the question. She stared at Zhang Yu Han for a few seconds longer and wondered if he would change his mind on collaborating with her after he learned about her scandal.
How many people knew that she was involved in such a scandal ever since she moved to B City to live with her mother? Even Chen Hao knew nothing about this. But it was only because she had never told Chen Hao the truth about herself.
Li Qin Yao turned away from him and tilted her head down. ”Have you heard about QL Group's scandal in Capital City two years ago? A shopping mall collapsed and a few construction workers died.”
”I've heard of it,” Zhang Yu Han confessed. ”Since the two companies are cooperating, I did ask someone to have QL Group investigated. Naturally, I've heard of this scandal.”
”I was involved in that scandal. In fact, I was the project manager for that project.” Li Qin Yao lifted her gaze again to look at his expression. ”Will this make you change your mind and stop investing in B City's project?”
Zhang Yu Han did not answer her question. ”What happened?”
