In the private VIP booth on the second floor of No Man’s Land, Jiang Heng sank into the soft leather seat. Beside him, there was the bartender with dreadlocks. On the other side, there was Tan Jing.

The bartender said in dissatisfaction, “Sky City is known for being able to get people drunk after one glass! The red cherry can only be effective after being soaked in the strongest wine for two weeks. This is the essence of Sky City. Why are you asking me to mix a soulless Sky City?! That is beneath my standards!”

Tan Jing didn’t understand either. “Why does the Jiang family seem to treat Yuan Shu differently? What kind of background does Yuan Shu have for you guys to be so protective of her?”

Jiang Heng placed his arms on the leather seat and lay down comfortably. Then, he closed his eyes to enjoy the light and music.

“To be honest, I don’t know either. It was all arranged by my cousin. My cousin said that Yuan Shu can’t be touched, so of course I have to obey.”

Tan Jing was even more confused. Who was this mysterious Jiang Chen? He was always talked about but had never showed his face before. His calculations were so accurate, but he kept such a low profile.

“Then why did Young Master Jiang ask us to tamper with Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao’s marriage three months ago and help her marry into the Shi family? Now, he’s not allowing us to touch her. Isn’t this contradictory?”

Jiang Heng opened his eyes and sat up slowly. This was also what he was puzzled about. Ever since Shi Xiao went to Africa, this cousin of his seemed to have changed completely. His methods were even more ruthless and incomprehensible. Even Jiang Heng was a little afraid of him.

Jiang Heng was a little impatient. “Don’t ask too much. Just do your own job. The first thing Shi Xiao did when he came back is to rush here, so he must be suspicious of what happened three months ago. Tan Jing, you have to be careful that he attacks the Tan family.”

Tan Jing was disdainful. “On the surface, the Tan family never takes sides, so if he attacks us openly, won’t the other families be disappointed in him?”

Jiang Heng looked at the booth where the few of them had been sitting with a dangerous gaze. “I hope he’s distracted by other things and doesn’t have the mood to interfere with things here.”

Zhang Zhang was sent back to her house by the chauffeur, while Shi Xiao brought Yuan Shu and Shi Lu back to the ancestral home.

Shi Lu sat in the front row while Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao sat in the back row. Each with different thoughts on their minds, the three of them didn’t speak along the way.

Shi Lu was worried that Shi Xiao would find out that he had brought Yuan Shu into the entertainment industry and that when the new movie started filming, Shi Xiao would settle scores with him. Along the way, he was thinking of an excuse to deal with it. At the same time, he was worried that his sister-in-law wouldn’t be able to film.

Yuan Shu’s thoughts were much simpler. She wasn’t worried about facing Shi Xiao when she returned.

This was because she knew very well that Shi Xiao hated the Host to the core. He usually couldn’t even be bothered to say anything to her and abandoned her in the villa two days after they got married. That was why Chu Mei came to cause trouble every few days.

He had not returned for two months, so he definitely wasn’t in the mood to deal with her. Yuan Shu would be even more at ease than before he came back, since she didn’t even need to worry about the matters in the Shi family’s company anymore. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

However, she couldn’t figure out why her memory was messed up. Everything about the one-night stand between the two of them in the hotel until they got married became very blurry.

However, Yuan Shu had a vague guess. That night, the two of them didn’t have sex at all. It was just that when they woke up the next morning, their clothes were messy, so there was a misunderstanding.

After getting out of the car, Shi Lu said as quickly as possible, “Brother, it’s good that you’re back. We really missed you so much. It’s too late, so I’ll go to bed now. Goodnight, Brother and Sister-in-law.”

Before Yuan Shu could react, Shi Lu had already returned to her room and closed the door with a bang.

Did this guy borrow the artificial intelligence’s voice just now? How did he manage to say such a string of words without any emotions?

As Yuan Shu was thinking, Wu Yan had already walked to the entrance and was waiting for her. When she saw Shi Xiao, surprise flashed across her eyes, but her years of experience as a servant immediately calmed her down..
