Chapter 1041 — The Real Face of Sun Jingyan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hah..." Sun Jingyan sighed to herself. Wei Zhao had entered her field of vision, but as things stood, he was not yet outstanding enough. True, his martial skills were formidable, but compared with cultivators... the difference was like heaven and earth.
Sun Jingyan was poorly informed. She had little contact with her family and none at all with the police, so she hadn't heard a single thing about the momentous events that had shaken Songshan City a few days ago — much less that Wei Zhao had nearly fled back to his hometown to hide.
Just as she was mulling over these scattered thoughts, a shrill ringtone cut through the air and gave her quite a fright! Sun Jingyan glanced at the caller ID on her phone, and her brow furrowed at once. After a moment's hesitation, she answered anyway.
"This is Sun Jingyan," she said coolly, as though she hadn't even looked at the caller ID.
"Jingyi, it's me, Wu Chengtian!" Wu Chengtian's voice came through the line, sounding rather excited. "I'm back in Songshan City!"
"Oh. You're back," Sun Jingyan said mildly.
"Yes, I've invested in a company here — haha, looks like I'll be stationed in Songshan City from now on. But that just means more chances for us to see each other!" Wu Chengtian said, putting on quite the show of importance.
"Oh..." Sun Jingyan had not the slightest interest in whether Wu Chengtian had invested in some company. A scion of a great house — if he used his family's connections to go into business, anything he touched would turn a profit. So if Wu Chengtian truly wanted to make money, it would be easy enough for him. But Sun Jingyan could not compare!
In Sun Jingyan's eyes, anyone with a great house's connections who still couldn't make money had to be a fool, no?
"Haha, it's been so long since we've met. How about morning tea together tomorrow?" Wu Chengtian suggested, barely able to contain his eagerness.
"Tomorrow morning? I have to go to the office. I probably won't have time." Sun Jingyan turned down Wu Chengtian's suggestion coolly.
"Haha, come out and sit with me a while — it's been ages since we've seen each other. Let's invite Wei Zhao along too!" Wu Chengtian deliberately brought up Wei Zhao. In his mind, so long as Wei Zhao went, Sun Jingyan would surely go as well — and then he would have the perfect chance to let Sun Jingyan see Wei Zhao's ugly two-timing face.
"Wei Zhao?" Sun Jingyan was slightly taken aback, and a ripple inevitably stirred in her heart. Setting aside all her criteria for a partner, she actually thought Wei Zhao was a decent person — only, a great bandit... If she brought a great bandit back to the Sun family, would her grandfather die of rage?
"Yes, I met Wei Zhao when I was in Yanjing. I even treated him and his friends to a meal — we had a wonderful time together!" Wu Chengtian said. "So now that I'm back in Songshan City, I was thinking of finding them for another meal! Join us tomorrow?"
"Then... all right..." Only upon hearing that Wei Zhao would be there did Sun Jingyan reluctantly agree. She was liking Wu Chengtian less and less. Though her family wanted her to spend more time with him, she mostly just humored them.
"Great, then I'll pick you up at your office tomorrow morning!" Wu Chengtian was rather displeased that Sun Jingyan had only agreed to morning tea the moment she heard Wei Zhao's name. But at the thought that tomorrow he could expose Wei Zhao, he held his temper in check.
"Mm." Sun Jingyan gave a murmur of assent and hung up. RO
