538 Be careful

Raindrops fell on Jiang Zhiyuan’s face. His coat was drenched, and his hair was in a mess. In the shadows, he stared unblinkingly at Jiang se. Ever since she came out, he had been holding his breath and did not dare to breathe too loudly.

He knew that even if he coughed and breathed loudly, she might not notice him in the corner.

The theater was surrounded by a bustling Street. People were walking around with umbrellas in their hands. People were coming and going at the entrance of the theater. No one would notice him in the corner, but he was still afraid of alerting Jiang se. He was afraid that she would turn around and look at him with a strange and surprised expression.

The shadow cast by the light of the Billboard separated the darkness from light and shadow very clearly, making people not dare to take that step easily.

She was destined to be under the light, while he should live in the shadows.

From the moment she found out that chessaray had spoken up for her, worked with her, and was holding the premiere of ‘the lost city’ tonight, it was all because of a speculation on the internet: Given Jiang SE’s relationship with chessaray, she might have to attend such an event. Jiang Zhiyuan had been standing there for a long time, waiting for a rare chance to see her.

He was aware of his status and knew that the Feng family was still keeping an eye on him. Therefore, he would not do anything rash. He would not acknowledge Jiang se and allow her to be associated with him, tainting her reputation.

However, this did not stop him from wanting to see his daughter. He just wanted to see her from a distance.

When Jiang se really walked out of the theater, Jiang Zhiyuan could recognize her immediately even though she was wearing a down jacket. She looked even skinnier than on television and looked very similar to him when he was younger.

She inherited his tall and thin figure, well-behaved and quiet.

He still remembered the moment when she was just born, and the way she cried in his arms. He didn’t expect that would become the closest memory he had of his daughter in his life.

At that moment, he was extremely jealous of Zhou Hui. Jiang se could openly call her ‘mother’. He could get her phone and hear her voice at any time.

In the distance, Jiang se seemed to be talking to someone. Jiang Zhiyuan’s gaze was fixed on her. His hands trembled as he reached into his pocket. There was a pack of cigarettes that had been unwrapped for a few days. It was now soaked by the rain.

In fact, he had not smoked for a few days. This hobby had been with him for most of his life. When he was young and ignorant, he had picked up this bad habit. When he was in prison, he could not stop smoking, so he had to find ways to get some.

Even if it was the cheapest, he had never broken it.

However, Jiang Zhiyuan decided to quit smoking after he was released from prison.

He didn’t have a diploma, and the job he found was all about hard work. The pay wasn’t high, and for someone like him who wanted to ‘chase stars’, smoking was still a big expense no matter how frugal he was.

He reached into his pocket and grabbed the pack of cigarettes that was already a little moist. He tried to pull it out several times, but he put it back every time.

After Feng Nan finished speaking, he raised his chin proudly, as if he had already won.

Jiang se smiled. She turned to Xia Chaoqun and said, ”

“Sister Chaoqun, I’ll talk to her for a while.”

Xia Chaoqun nodded his head. He did not even look at Feng Nan, as if he was not standing in front of him.

Feng Nan was a little unwilling to accept her neglect, so he could not help but say, ”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do something to her? Or do you think I don’t dare to? Xia Chaoqun!”

Jiang se could not help but smirk. For the sake of the movie, “God’s salvation,” she had trained hard in combat for more than half a year. Although she had changed to the role of ‘Lannie’ in the later stages and had to slim down according to chessaray’s request, she did not stop her combat lessons.

Rather than worrying that Feng Nan would do something to her, Xia Chaoqun would be more worried that she would hit Feng Nan and cause the news to spread.

Xia Chaoqun could not be bothered with Feng Nan. The two of them took a few steps and picked a corner seat. Feng Nan was about to speak when Jiang se suddenly asked, ”

“Who are you?”

Feng Nan was the one who had initially asked this question to threaten Jiang se. However, he did not expect Jiang se to return the same words to him.

She was caught off guard. Her expression froze, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled. The cigarette fell to the ground and landed on her arm that was wrapped around her chest, leaving a little ash. Finally, it fell into the puddle and went out with a ‘puff’. A few wisps of smoke were also quickly extinguished by the rain.

Feeling the pain in his arm, Feng Nan snapped back to his senses and flung his arm away. He could not help but chide, ”

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

“You wanted to introduce me to Jufeng entertainment, so you obviously knew Jufeng entertainment well and wanted to harm me. Back then, you helped Zhu pan and tried to suppress me. This proves that there is enmity between us. According to the people of the Feng family, your temperament changed a few years ago, and your preferences became two different people.”

Jiang se looked at Feng Nan, who was still holding a cigarette in his hand. there’s no blow or change. He learned how to smoke and drink, put on a show with Zhao junhan, entered the entertainment industry of his own accord, and is unfamiliar with the people and things he’s familiar with.

Feng Nan’s pupils instantly contracted. Even though her face was covered in a thick layer of powder, it could not hide the extremely ugly expression on her face.

Jiang se was standing very close to her. She could feel her trembling body and could see the fear in her eyes.

What she thought was the world’s greatest secret, her greatest reliance, was now exposed by Jiang se. She instinctively wanted to cover her ears, close her eyes, and hide in a safe corner.

The face in front of him had become the hysterical and aggressive woman in his memory. Her eyes, which were covered with extremely exaggerated eyeliner, were like those of a demon when they were widened. It was very scary.

Feng Nan wanted to push her away, but her body did not seem to listen to her. She thought she had used up all her strength, but she could only move her fingers.

Perhaps she was too shocked, she thought that there was no ‘her’ in this world and no one would discover her secret. However, tonight, she was exposed.

the Feng family said that you’re very strange. There are many things that you don’t know about Feng Nan. His handwriting doesn’t look like his own and you can’t tell much about his past. Who are you? ”

At this moment, the blood in Feng Nan’s body was flowing faster, causing her hands and feet to turn cold. She could hear the sound of her blood vessels throbbing violently in her mind, and every pulse made her dizzy.

When she saw Jiang SE’s face, it overlapped with the expression she had when she pushed her in her past life. She suddenly shrieked and raised her arms to hug herself. The next moment, she tried to reach out to grab Jiang se.

Jiang Zhiyuan’s gaze had been fixed on Jiang se. He had only wanted to take a closer look at her. He had never thought of getting closer to her.

However, after she left with Feng Nan, Jiang Zhiyuan noticed Feng Nan who was standing beside them.

He had never paid attention to news in the entertainment industry that had nothing to do with Jiang se. However, he had recognized Feng Nan. To be more precise, he had recognized her.

It was a coincidence. Jiang se and Feng Nan had once filmed ” rescue mission ” together.

The media had once exaggerated her identity. To many viewers, netizens, and Feng Nan’s fans, she was the daughter of Zhongnan industry and the fiancée of Zhao junhan, the heir of the Jianghua group.

However, to Jiang Zhiyuan, she was just an ant that he had once held in his hands. She was a fish that had almost died by his hands in the early years.

The moment she stood next to Jiang se, Jiang Zhiyuan was already on guard.

Jiang Zhiyuan was well aware of the Feng family’s surveillance on him after he was released from prison.

He had always been obedient. After he was released from prison, he cut off all contact with his old friends and rejected the invitations of some gangs. Now, he was on his own and did not contact any of his old friends. When he met Feng Zhongliang, he would raise both hands to show his respect.

The Feng family should be well aware of what kind of result he wanted in exchange for all these things.

However, now that Feng Nan had come to look for Jiang se, what did she want to do?

While he was trying his best to show everything to the Feng family and allowed the people under them to monitor him, the little girl who had survived the Feng family back then was bullying his daughter.

He exhaled slowly, lowered his head, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He took one out and put it in his mouth. His hair that hung down covered his forehead, and water droplets rolled down the corners of his eyes. His breath became a little gloomy, and his eyes were stained with the cold of February in the imperial capital.

The cold air around Jiang Zhiyuan seemed to have frozen. He bit his cigarette and sighed. He smiled and lowered his eyes.

“Don’t make me angry.”

Jiang se saw that Feng Nan seemed to have gone mad. He first screamed, then hugged his arms and tried to push her away.

When Feng Nan reached out his hand, she hesitated for two seconds, wondering if she should pin her down on the ground.

She was wearing a thick down jacket, and the lights were dim. The target of the people entering and leaving the theater was the premiere of “the lost city” tonight.

The people who came to the theater were all there for the movie or for the celebrities who were attending the premiere, so no one noticed her and Feng Nan.

However, if she were to get into an argument with Feng Nan, there might be people who would witness this scene.

She still remembered the look in Xia Chaoqun’s eyes earlier. If she were to get into a fight with Feng Nan, it would be a piece of news if someone took a photo of her.

She was still in a dilemma. However, in the next second, Jiang se no longer had to care about such things.

This was because her sharp senses had detected a stranger walking in her direction. The person was taking large, but rhythmic steps. When he stepped on the ground, there was a dull thud. Jiang se could even hear the subtle sound of water splashing up from the soles of his shoes.

Before she could raise her head, the man was already walking toward her. She instinctively felt that something was wrong and moved sideways to make way for him. However, Feng Nan, who was pouncing toward her, was too afraid to avoid him and bumped into him.

With a loud bang, Feng Nan felt as if he had hit a solid wall, and his entire body fell backward.

A hand reached over and grabbed her arm. be careful.

The deep male voice reminded him softly. For some reason, when Feng Nan heard this, he quivered for no reason. It did not sound like he was being reminded of concern, but more like a warning.

She raised her head and noticed Jiang Zhiyuan’s eyes. His eyes were dark and calm, like the boundless sea at night, hiding an unpredictable danger.

That face seemed a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. She was still frowning as she thought about it.

After Jiang Zhiyuan pulled her to a proper position, he quickly let go of her hand and put it back into his pocket.

He could feel Jiang SE’s gaze on him. He lowered his head and quickly walked forward. Soon, his tall figure disappeared into the shadows around the corner outside the theater’s entrance.

Jiang se had seen the side of his face when he had grabbed Feng Nan. However, he had lowered his head in the dark, so she could not see it clearly. She had a vague feeling that she had seen him somewhere before.

Goosebumps rose on his arms, as if it was an instinctive reaction in the face of danger.

She rubbed her arms and wondered if she had reacted too strongly.

That person looked like someone who had happened to pass by. Fortunately, he had interrupted her, so she had avoided being caught by Feng Nan.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could already see Xia Chaoqun turning to look at her. Mo Anqi drove out of the garage. Jiang se frowned. She ignored Feng Nan, who was clearly acting a little strange, and jogged in Xia Chaoqun’s direction.

“Who is it?”

She was still thinking about that person from earlier. Jiang se had a good memory, so she would definitely have an impression of those she had met.

It was just like the first time she met Tao Tao from Dragon travel agency and was interviewed by her. She could still call her name a few years later.

If she had seen the man before, she would definitely remember where she had met him.

She thought about it again and again, carefully thinking about how she might have met this person since she was reborn, but she really couldn’t remember.

Xia Chaoqun looked at her frowning and deep in thought. He then thought of Feng Nan’s threatening actions earlier and could not help but ask, ”

“Did Feng Nan say something?”

“I’m fine.” Jiang se shook her head. Feng Nan would not be able to trouble her. Even if Feng Nan harbored ill intentions toward her now, he could not do anything about it.

Since she was already on guard against her, and Feng Zhongliang had also recognized her, it would be difficult for Feng Nan to cause any trouble even if he harbored any ill intentions.

She was still thinking about the man who had turned around and left after a brief glance. She instinctively felt that something was not right.

sister Chaoqun, you mentioned to me the last time that you wanted to hire a bodyguard, Wanwan. Jiang se gave it some thought and decided to bring up the matter of hiring a bodyguard to Xia Chaoqun. She felt that the man from earlier was very dangerous.

She had always been very concerned about her own safety.

The nightmares of being kidnapped in her childhood made her quite sensitive to this feeling. Once she found something wrong, she would first want to protect herself so as not to regret later.

Xia Chaoqun nodded. He did not ask her why. Jiang se was still thinking about the man from earlier when the car fell silent.

Feng Nan felt the same way as Jiang se. She found it even weirder.

The man’s words and the way he looked at her made her feel cold.

A person who had died once was always particularly sensitive to danger. That person’s words rang in her ears again and again, ” be careful.

This sentence was unusually calm and did not have any fluctuations. The more Feng Nan thought about it, the more he felt that it was a warning.
