Free Web NovelChapter 109: Chapter 109: Jiang Xinghai, Don’t Run
Shen Lingxue was mortified. Linking arms with Su Yanyun, she headed for the elevator. "You heard wrong."
Jiang Xinghai followed closely behind them into the elevator.
Just as the three of them got downstairs, a stylish, middle-aged woman dripping with jewels walked toward them.
Every part of her body that could possibly hold an accessory was adorned with either gold or diamonds. What a wealthy socialite!
"Sister Cai, the health center is closed today. I’m sorry," Su Yanyun said, immediately stepping forward to greet her. ƒrēewebnovel.com
This middle-aged woman was Cai Xiujuan, the owner of a jewelry store.
She was the very same rich woman who had once tried to use her money to buy a night with Jiang Xinghai.
"It’s fine that you’re closed. I can just take this male technician home with me," Cai Xiujuan said. She had been fixated on Jiang Xinghai ever since!
To put it bluntly, she couldn’t believe that throwing money at a man wouldn’t get her *any* reaction.
Her initial offer must have just been too low.
"Why would a women’s health center have a male technician? You’re mistaken." Jiang Xinghai sidestepped her and bolted for the door.
"Jiang Xinghai, don’t run!"
However, Cai Xiujuan called out his name and hurried after him. "Young man, life is short! You need to learn how to enjoy it. Why insist on being a working man? I’m telling you, you should just give up. I’ll take care of you."
This scene gave Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun a very bad feeling.
Why did Jiang Xinghai look so utterly mortified when he saw Cai Xiujuan? And why did he run off in such a hurry?
’Could it be... they have some kind of unspeakable secret?’
"Yanyun, what’s going on?" Shen Lingxue could only pin her hopes on Su Yanyun for an answer.
"I... I don’t know either."
Su Yanyun was completely baffled as well. "That Cai Xiujuan is the owner of the jewelry store on Jizhou Avenue. She comes here for treatments and spends a lot of money, but I don’t know anything about her personal life."
"..." Shen Lingxue’s thoughts were a mess.
’I’m telling you, you should just give up. I’ll take care of you!’
The words still echoed in her ears.
Snapping out of their daze, the two women rushed out of the lobby. In the distance, they saw only a dejected-looking Cai Xiujuan; there was no sign of Jiang Xinghai.
"Boss Su, you must have Jiang Xinghai’s contact info, right? Give it to me, quickly."
Not seeing any trace of Jiang Xinghai, Cai Xiujuan turned back to Su Yanyun. "Come on, hurry up."
"Sister Cai, I really don’t have it." Su Yanyun would never sell out Jiang Xinghai.
"I do," Shen Lingxue said, a mysterious smile suddenly appearing on her face.
"Oh, that’s wonderful! Not only are you gorgeous, you’re kind-hearted too. Quick, give it to me," Cai Xiujuan said, thrilled.
And just like that, Shen Lingxue gave Jiang Xinghai’s contact information to Cai Xiujuan.
"Thank you so much, dear. If you ever need any jewelry, come to my Zhou Dasheng Jewelry store. I’ll give you a fifty-percent discount. Here’s my card. Bye-bye!" With a satisfied look, Cai Xiujuan left, dialing Jiang Xinghai’s number as she walked.
「Meanwhile.」
Jiang Xinghai was hiding in a shop, smoking a cigarette in frustrated silence.
He remembered Cai Xiujuan, vaguely.
He had met her near the body-sculpting room on his first visit to the AM Health Center.
At the time, she had offered him a 100,000 tip, just to spend one night with her!
Admittedly, while Cai Xiujuan was over fifty, her figure and face made her look like she was in her forties. For men who liked mature women, she certainly had a certain appeal.
But that just wasn’t Jiang Xinghai’s type.
Besides, it’s not like he was that desperate.
RING RING RING...
Suddenly, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number.
"Who is this?"
"Is this Jiang Xinghai?"
"And you are...?"
"It’s your Sister Cai! Where are you? Why are you hiding from me? I can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. You’ll never have to work another day in your life. Why can’t you see sense?"
BEEP... BEEP...
He hung up the phone, breaking out in a cold sweat.
’How did Cai Xiujuan get my number?’
’Su Yanyun or Shen Lingxue?’
’It had to be Su Yanyun!’
He and Shen Lingxue had shared a sweet, wild night of passion—seven times, no less. She would never sell him out.
After finishing his cigarette, Jiang Xinghai peeked outside.
There was no sign of Cai Xiujuan anywhere. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun were standing by the red BMW, looking all around for him.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghai didn’t hesitate to rush over.
"Su Yanyun, I helped you in good faith, and you sold me out! Some friend you are." Jiang Xinghai wasn’t truly angry, just frustrated.
"Xinghai, you’ve really got the wrong person," Su Yanyun said with a small, knowing smile.
"I’ve got the wrong person? Don’t tell me it was Lingxue who sold me out. That’s impossible," Jiang Xinghai said, certain of his conclusion.
But Shen Lingxue replied with a perfectly straight face, "Don’t blame Yanyun. I’m the one who gave your phone number to the jewelry store owner."
"..."
Jiang Xinghai was stunned into silence. With a pained expression, he asked, "But why?"
"I think you have a lot going for you. It would be a real waste for you to be a working stiff your whole life. Boss Cai is willing to take care of you, which is great! It could save you decades of hard work. You should be thanking me, really," Shen Lingxue said with utter conviction.
