Chapter 134 Scruples
After Jiang Wan arrived at Jiang Xu's house, she basically stayed next to Jiang's mother and didn't have time to look at her phone. Only then did she remember that Xie Heng said he would take her home.
She thought for two seconds and apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Heng, I haven't been checking my phone. Brother Xu and I just got in the car."
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, but no one mentioned sending her home.
"It's okay. I'm right at the gate of the mansion. Come down and meet me."
When Jiang Wan heard the man's low voice, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Xu beside him.
The space in the car was limited and the two were close to each other, so even if she didn't turn on the speakerphone, Jiang Xu could actually hear what Xie Heng said.
Jiang Xu didn't say anything. He stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the entrance of the mansion.
Jiang Wan said, "Okay, we'll be here soon."
There was indeed a car parked under the tree path at the entrance of the mansion. A man with an extremely superior figure and a noble temperament as always was leaning against the car door, watching them gradually approach, and then stop behind his car.
Jiang Wan got out of the car first, walked up to Xie Heng and asked, "Brother Heng, you haven't told me what you want to see me about."
Xie Heng's gaze fixed on her, with a faint curve at the corner of his lips.
"Are you stupid? Can't you see that I was lying to you? No wonder someone tricked you into coming here."
Jiang Xu, who got off the car later, was originally annoyed when he saw Xie Heng. The other party just interrupted him at the critical moment. Now he naturally felt that this man was even more annoying. He walked to Jiang Wan and snorted with a hint of sarcasm.
"Are you jealous?"
Xie Heng's eyes were slightly cold, but he did not respond. He just turned to look at Jiang Wan.
"The company's overseas business has made progress. I'm not sure if I have to fly abroad tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I guess I'll have to stay for ten days. I was wondering if I could make an appointment with you in time. We met by chance tonight, so I have to seize the opportunity."
"Now that I see you, that's enough."
"Wanwan, please get in the car first. I want to talk to Lawyer Jiang alone."
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant.
Since the man said so, Jiang Xu didn't seem to mind, so she turned around and obediently returned to the passenger seat after wishing him a safe journey.
Not until he saw her get into the car did Xie Heng finally look at Jiang Xu again.
What he just said to Jiang Wan was not false, but when he first saw Jiang Wan and Jiang Xu together, he did have the idea of sending the girl home.
But this depends on a premise, Jiang Xu will definitely not let go so easily, then Jiang Wan will be in a dilemma.
She had to choose between the two of them.
He and Jiang Xu both knew in their hearts that they wished the other would completely disappear from Jiang Wan's side, and being able to tolerate each other until today was already a rare exception.
So of course they all want to know who the girl would choose if they had to make a choice.
But no matter how much you think about it, who would really be willing to make things so difficult for her?
"Lawyer Jiang, it seems that I underestimated you before."
Jiang Xu curled the corners of his lips coldly.
"It's no use to me to be thought highly of by you."
Xie Heng stared at him for a moment, his deep voice sounding somewhat unclear and profound in the dark night.
"It's really useless. I advise Lawyer Jiang not to be too radical. Otherwise, it will not only be futile, but also exhaust her."
Jiang Xu rarely let out a low laugh, but his tone was still cold.
"If you feel that it's futile, then feel that way. If that can give you some balance."
Xie Heng closed his eyes, and his dark pupils gradually became cold.
However, after staring at each other for a while, just when he was about to say something, a car light suddenly broke through the night and drove out of the mansion from behind.
It was normal for a car to pass by, but the speed of the other car was obviously slowing down as it got closer, until the wheels squeaked and it stopped directly on their left.
Xie Heng subconsciously glanced to the side, but his gaze paused.
The passenger window gradually lowered, revealing a very familiar face.
"Second Young Master, it really is you."
Guan Li's eyes wandered between Xie Heng and Jiang Xu for a moment without any expression, the curve of the smile at the corner of his lips was just right.
"Are you and Mr. Jiang... reminiscing about the past?"
Jiang Xu frowned, and Xie Heng showed a rare bit of unnatural look on his face, but they both looked at the back seat of the car, where the windows were also gradually being lowered, almost at the same time.
The man in the back row only looked at them briefly, but his gaze was like a hammer that was slowly hitting them. Even though he was gentle and calm, it still made them feel suffocated.
"What do you want to say here?"
The extremely light tone made Xie Heng and Jiang Xu lower their eyebrows at the same time.
"Big brother."
"Thank you, Hall."
Jiang Xu was not familiar with Xie Heng, but he still followed his father to meet Xie Shiqian.
Just as my father said, this person from the Xie family has become more and more low-key in the past two years, and his aura, which was originally beyond the reach of others, has become more restrained.
This also represents a signal that this natural politician who is adept at playing power games is getting closer to the top.
This is a consensus among the powerful circles in Beijing.
It's just a matter of time.
Everyone will be afraid and respectful of this person from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, Jiang Wan noticed Xie Shiqian's arrival earlier than the other two because of the familiar license plate.
She lowered her head almost instinctively, her heart beating wildly.
Her intuition told her that meeting Xie Shiqian here was definitely not a good thing.
The last time Xie Shiqian saw her was with Shao Ting, but when they met again a few days ago, she was involved with Xie Heng, so all her details would definitely be discovered.
Even if there weren't too many problems, there were still some traces of deliberateness. If the man had any intention, she wouldn't even have the room to struggle.
Xie Shiqian was sitting on the left side of the back row, so he wouldn't be able to see her. The key point was that Secretary Guan would notice her presence if she turned around.
Thinking of this, she slowly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the co-pilot seat. From her angle, she could only see half of Guan Li's profile.
It would be easy for the other party to turn around and see her, but she didn't dare to move rashly now. Doing anything rashly would be a sign of guilt and might attract attention.
Guan Li's eyes were originally on Xie Heng and Jiang Xu, but he soon noticed out of the corner of his eye that there was someone in the passenger seat of the car parked behind.
His heart moved slightly, and when he was about to look over, his sight was blocked by a figure.
