Jiang Zhimiao didn't stay at An Qiaoqiao's home for long.

In fact, she didn't know how to deal with her, so she simply left on the pretext that Shen Zhuowen was looking for her.

When she walked downstairs, she looked up.

She could vaguely feel a gaze looking towards her.

Jiang Zhimiao's eyes were fixed on the window.

For a moment, the curtains swayed faintly at the window, and An Qiaoqiao must have hid a little inside.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't want to explore, so he took a call and sat by the river for a while.

There is a long river running across the middle of Star City. On weekdays, people will walk by the river, or sit and relax, coming and going. The river breeze blows, and the heart calms down.

This sitting lasted two hours.

As dusk falls, the orange-red color of the flaming clouds gradually changes to crimson, turning into a gorgeous and enchanting fire.

Jiang Zhimiao's calm heart was ignited a little more by this little bit of anger.

She pursed her lips into a straight line, then opened her cell phone and looked through the messages.

There is no news.

——This realization made her heart sink to the bottom.

Jiang Zhimiao originally thought that, no matter how close she was to An Qiaoqiao, she would explain a little or the whole story and tell her what she wanted to do. But so far, she hasn't said a word of explanation.

Not even a single message was sent.

He didn't care about her feelings at all.

The chill grew wildly in the joints between his bones. Jiang Zhimiao clenched his back teeth, clasped his arms with his hands, and couldn't help shivering.

She couldn't go home, nor could she go to An Qiaoqiao's home.

Now it's getting dark again.

The only place I could go was that hotel.

Jiang Zhimiao rubbed his frowning brows, opened the taxi-hailing app, and was about to hail a taxi when Shanyu's pop-up window popped up.

With a flick of her finger, she answered the call for no apparent reason.

The Chanyu's undisguised worry came out , " Zhizhi, where are you now?"

Jiang Zhimiao , " What's wrong?"

She did not directly answer Shan Yu's question. Shan Yu seemed to know something and explained , " I am worried about you. I heard from Qiao Qiao that you never returned after leaving her house."

Jiang Zhimiao curled the corners of her lips. She wanted to say something, but her heart was so blocked that she couldn't say anything.

The Chanyu said directly , " Just tell me where you are and I will come to find you."

Behind him there was the sound of loud singing, which sounded like it was coming from inside a club.

Jiang Zhimiao lowered his eyes, tried to control his emotions and said calmly , " It's okay, don't bother me, I'll be back soon."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Shanyu to speak.

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhimiao saw the Chanyu appear in front of him and could not hide his surprise.

Shan Yu approached her step by step, his eyes fixed on the scenery by the river, and said , " You said you would treat me as a friend, but you left me to enjoy the scenery?"

Jiang Zhimiao said , " How did you know I was here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she paused.

What's so difficult about this? For someone with Shanyu's family background, it's easy for him to find her location. It just depends on whether he is willing to do so.

Tilting her head slightly, her eyes fell on the unresponsive phone, and then she looked at Shanyu inconspicuously.

Shan Yu was very restrained. He sat next to Jiang Zhimiao and said with a smile , " Do you want to sing with me? I heard that singing can express those unhappy emotions. I did that before."

Jiang Zhimiao hesitated for a moment and refused, saying , " I'll sit for a while and then go back ... "

The young man's warm palm touched the tip of his little finger, and he swallowed the unfinished refusal back into his throat.

Her slender back tensed, and she took a step forward silently.

The way Shan Yu looked at her, he found her more and more cute. He smiled and said with crooked eyes, "Well then, you go with me, I'm in a bad mood."

" ... " Judging from his appearance, it was completely impossible to tell that he was in a bad mood.

Jiang Zhimiao frowned, still trying to find a suitable excuse to refuse, but Shanyu responded , " I have helped you so much, but you used Brother Shen to reject me last time, are you going to reject me again this time when you sing?"

When it comes to this, I really can’t refuse.

Jiang Zhimiao paused and asked , " Where are you going to the karaoke bar? Let me treat you."

Shanyu said , " You invited me once last time. Now of course I am coming, and I am asking you to accompany me. If I really ask you to come, will I still have the dignity to spread the news?"

Jiang Zhimiao looked back at Shanyu.

Shanyu also looked back at Jiang Zhimiao.

Time passes by every second.

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't persuade Shanyu, so he nodded helplessly , " Then I'll come next time."

Shanyu smiled and took Jiang Zhimiao to the parking lot not far from the street. He came by car, so naturally he would drive there.

Jiang Zhimiao followed Shanyu into the car.

They arrived at their destination, which was a KTV that looked very luxurious.

There is a hall in the middle, with self-service snacks, fruits and wine. There is also a small kitchen and fried rice, fried noodles, vegetables, etc. next to it, which seem to be prepared for the guests inside.

Shanyu asked for a small karaoke room, which was just the right size for two people.

After putting the things away, Shanyu took Jiang Zhimiao out to get food.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't have much appetite, so he just picked up some fruit.

"Have you heard about the Shen family jumping off the building?"

"I know," another male voice whispered in a low voice , " It must be that girl Shen Zhuoxu. She has really gone crazy and made such a fuss over a man."

"No, let me tell you, I heard that she was crazy enough to mention what happened to Shen Zhuowen back then -"

Jiang Zhimiao paused slightly, turned his head and looked back without trace.

The people she spoke to all looked familiar. It could be that Shen Zhuowen and Fu Shaoyu's circle basically covered the entire second generation of Star City, so she had seen a lot and felt familiar without any trace. After looking twice, she discovered these things. They were all people who had followed Fu Shaoyu before.

Withdrawing her gaze, she picked up the tomato in front of her, but her attention was entirely behind her.

The voice from behind was slow and urgent, with a stern warning , " What are you talking about?"

Jiang Zhimiao turned around and saw that it was Shanyu.

Although Shan Yu complained a little about Shen Zhuowen's attitude, they were brothers after all, and there was absolutely no way they could see anyone slandering Shen Zhuowen.

He walked up to those people, his eyes were cold and stern, and he glanced around, "If you like talking about other people's family affairs so much, you might as well just become the eighth mother-in-law."

The first red-haired man showed his dissatisfaction with Shan Yu and took two steps forward, "What kind of onion are you?"

Shanyu still wanted to speak.

But when he raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhimiao standing not far away, he frowned, said no more, walked around them, and pulled her away.

Jiang Zhimiao followed and left.

However, she did not miss Shan Yu's fleeting hesitation.

Back in the box, Shanyu sat on the sofa, scratched his hair a little irritably, and said , " Don't listen to their nonsense. Things in Brother Shen's family are very complicated, and Brother Shen is not the kind of person you see."

Jiang Zhimiao said , " Actually, Shen Zhuowen and I went back together that day."

Chanyu suddenly raised his eyes.

Jiang Zhimiao said , " I heard Miss Shen calling him a monster."

Jiang Zhimiao didn't say the next words when he saw Shanyu jump up from the sofa. Without thinking, he denied it and said , " No, Brother Shen is not that kind of person. Something happened to the Shen family back then, but these things It’s not my place to say, I’m not the person involved, can you understand?”

"Well, okay." Jiang Zhimiao nodded.

Shanyu had a relieved smile on his face. He looked at Jiang Zhimiao and was about to speak.

The door of the box was suddenly pushed open, followed by a chaos of alcohol exploding, with a few glasses splashing onto Jiang Zhimiao's hands.

But she didn't have time to care about these things and just stared blankly at the Shanyu who was pressing on her.

The group of people were standing behind them with ferocious looks, a wine bottle in each hand.
