After finishing his work, Chen Jiancheng intended to return. As he stepped out of the room he had been in, a familiar and unmistakable figure caught his eye.
It was the girl he had held in his arms last night. She was now being held tightly by two men.
Her face was full of grievance and resentment as she looked at the young man in front of her.
Seeing her being bullied, he felt a deep discomfort. He pointed at the young man and asked Zhou Meng,
"Mr. Meng, is that your son?"
Zhou Meng looked over, saw his good-for-nothing son, and quickly nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, that's my worthless son."
Chen Jiancheng pointed towards Wan Ru, then turned to look at Zhou Meng, his expression so grim that it made everyone present feel afraid.
"And that is my girlfriend."
Zhou Meng followed his gaze and saw his son having his men seize someone's daughter and bully her.
Coincidentally, this girl was the girlfriend of Chairman Chen Jiancheng, the very person he was desperately pleading with for investment.
His face drained of all color, and he quickly rushed over.
The closer he got, the more he heard the unpleasant words Zhou Lin Kang was saying.
The atmosphere emanating from Chen Jiancheng at this moment was as cold as the North Pole.
Witnessing his son being slapped by the little girl, he let out a sigh of relief. It was better to be slapped.
If Chen Jiancheng's power wanted something from his son, he wouldn't be able to say a word.
Seeing that this son had ruined all his work, he immediately became furious and started hitting and scolding him.
Chen Jiancheng helped Wan Ru away from that place. She had no strength left and leaned completely on him, sobbing uncontrollably.
The two waited in front of the elevator without speaking. Chen Jiancheng simply wiped the tears from her face and stroked her head.
The elevator doors opened, and Ming Jian, about to exit, was startled to see Chen Jiancheng and Wan Ru.
"Ru, where are you going?" Ming Jian asked.
"Where's Mei Jin?" Wan Ru didn't answer but asked back.
"I left Jin sleeping in the car, locked the car doors carefully before daring to leave."
Wan Ru nodded. Ming Jian, seeing her tear-streaked face, didn't ask further and let the two enter the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Wan Ru cried even louder. She turned and hugged Chen Jiancheng's neck, holding on very tightly, and choked out,
"Just now, just now I was about to go out, and then, then someone grabbed me, they held me so tight I couldn't move."
Chen Jiancheng, as before, placed a large hand on her back, covering the exposed area, while his other hand pressed her head against his chest.
"It's okay, I'm with you now, no one can bully you."
Chen Jiancheng used a gentle tone to comfort her.
Ming Jian, hearing this, somewhat understood the story. Seeing the actions of the two next to him, he also understood something else.
When the elevator stopped, Chen Jiancheng said nothing, but lifted her bottom, picked up her legs, and directly carried Wan Ru as if carrying a child. Wan Ru obediently rested her head on his shoulder.
"Uncle, my car is over here."
Ming Jian spoke up.
"Where did you leave the little one?" Chen Jiancheng asked back.
"In the back seat."
After saying that, Ming Jian suddenly understood. Mei Jin was comfortably lying in the back, and the front passenger seat was only enough for one person.
Chen Jiancheng clearly didn't want to be separated from Li Wan Ru.
"Take her home, I'll follow behind."
With that, he carried her in the opposite direction.
Ming Jian stared blankly at the two embracing each other.
He had known they had feelings for each other, but he hadn't imagined their relationship could develop so quickly.
Ming Jian then returned to his car to take Mei Jin home.
Looking at the girl sleeping in the car, his heart ached again.
He had originally intended to explain everything to her, but she didn't want to see him.
The misunderstanding from their childhood was due to his overthinking, but if they encountered this misunderstanding now, it would definitely be his fault.
When Ming Jian arrived at the front door, Chen Jiancheng and Li Wanru had already arrived. They helped him carry Mei Jin into her room and then saw him off.
Ming Jian felt extremely uneasy, but Wanru encouraged him.
"Come back tomorrow, come back tomorrow and tell her everything."
He nodded, said goodbye to Wanru, and left.
"The house has a guest room, you should rest first.
I'll talk to you tomorrow morning."
After Chen Jiancheng finished speaking, he returned to the house next door.
Why did he look so cold again, just like the night he told her not to like him anymore?
Where had the person who had just held her in his arms gone?
Wanru tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
But what had she done wrong?
