Jian Shufan looked at the young woman before her, who kept her head down and remained silent, and a vague sense of crisis arose in her heart. She felt that anyone worthy of competing with her for things must possess wealth and influence. Her brother had had some trouble recently, and her mother had called him overseas. Before he left, she had heard Jian Jiayue mention Chang Xuyu, merely saying she was very beautiful. She had originally thought Chang Xuyu was just someone pretty and nothing more. People like that were the easiest to deal with.
The wind wasn’t particularly cold. Chang Xuyu glanced at Jian Shufan’s attire, lowered her eyes slightly, and asked Yuan Zixu to go get the car first. Yuan Zixu didn’t recognize Jian Shufan but found the woman exceptionally elegant. She didn’t ask questions, just nodded and walked away.
Jian Shufan smiled again, facing Chang Xuyu’s beautiful face directly. “Miss Chang, let’s talk inside.”
Standing at the supermarket entrance was indeed a bit conspicuous. Chang Xuyu looked around, nodded, and followed her to a nearby café.
The café was small, with dim lighting. Scattered, faint yellow light slowly fell on Chang Xuyu’s face. Jian Shufan stared at her, a moment of unease stirring in her heart.
“You know my friend is waiting for me,” Chang Xuyu paused, glancing out the window, and said softly, “Miss Jian, please make it quick.”
Jian Shufan was a bit stunned and tested her. “You… know who I am?”
