“Sheng Jiu, what does Fourth Master Shen mean by that?” Jiang Pan looked at Sheng Jiu in confusion.

“Take me to the shower first.” Sheng Jiu did not want to explain anything. She was too dirty and needed to take a shower first.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to take a shower!” Jiang Pan was also a big-hearted person. He brought Sheng Jiu directly to the room upstairs and got someone to send over a set of sportswear, as there were no other clothes for Sheng Jiu to change into at the club.

Sheng Jiu hurriedly took a shower and came out. She saw Jiang Pan pacing back and forth anxiously.

“What’s wrong?” Sheng Jiu asked as she dried her hair.

“I haven’t been able to contact Cheng Taibo.” Jiang Pan glanced at Sheng Jiu. The loose sportswear made her look even thinner. She looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She had been back for more than a year, but why was she still so thin?

“There’s no need to contact him. Cheng Taibo is still at the top of the mountain. I was brought up the mountain by him. However, it had just rained heavily two days ago, so it’s not easy to drive up there. So, everybody here knows not to test their cars up in the mountains today, but, Cousin, why do you think Cheng Taibo brought me up the mountain?” Sheng Jiu didn’t say it too clearly, but her hidden undertones within words was very clear. Jiang Pan wasn’t a fool. He knew what Sheng Jiu meant.

“That bastard Cheng Taibo! How dare he target you? I’ll settle the score with him now! I’ll castrate him!” Jiang Pan was furious. He didn’t expect Cheng Taibo to target Sheng Jiu with such dirty thoughts. He wanted to kill that bastard Cheng Taibo now!

“You don’t have to go. Fourth Brother’s men will deal with him.” Sheng Jiu’s tone was calm. It was enough that He Sijun was up there to torture Cheng Taibo.

“Sheng Jiu, you… are you not stupid anymore?” Jiang Pan realized that Sheng Jiu seemed to be different. In the past, Sheng Jiu was always silly and expressionless. She was not interested in anything. When she returned to the Sheng family, she would just get up early in the morning and meditate. Other than meditating, Sheng Jiu did not seem to do anything else. But now, Sheng Jiu’s eyes were cool and sharp, and her face was cold. She exuded a sharpness that could not be ignored. This was something that Sheng Jiu did not have in the past.

“Cousin, have I ever said that I’m a fool?” Sheng Jiu asked lightly.

“No.” Jiang Pan had to admit that after Sheng Jiu came back from the Buddhist temple, she only liked to stay at home and rarely came into contact with the outside world. However, she had never said that she was a fool. A fool was the outside world’s evaluation of her.

“Outsiders think that I don’t like to talk and argue with others. They say that I’m a fool, but I know very well whether I’m a fool or not,” said Sheng Jiu.

“So, Sheng Jiu, are you really not a fool?” Jiang Pan still could not believe it. He stared at Sheng Jiu’s face and saw that her palm-sized face was exquisite and beautiful. Her eyes were black and bright. No matter how he looked at it, this face was very beautiful. Previously, someone had said that Sheng Jiu’s beautiful face was bought with her intelligence. Now, Jiang Pan felt that perhaps her face and intelligence were proportional. In the future, if anyone said that Sheng Jiu was a fool, he would cut that person open on the spot!

“Has Fourth Brother Shen left?” Sheng Jiu asked.

“I don’t think he’s gone yet. Sheng Jiu, I remember that you used to be very afraid of Fourth Master Shen. When you saw him, you acted like a mouse seeing a cat. How did your relationship suddenly improve?” Jiang Pan was very surprised. Everything that had happened today had surprised him. Now, his small head was full of big question marks.

“I’m still very afraid of him, so I have to leave before he leaves.” With that, Sheng Jiu opened the door and walked out, hoping that she would never bump into Shen Xiuwen again. “By the way, Cousin, get someone to see if Fourth Brother Shen’s car can be cleaned. If it can’t be cleaned, help me order a brand new identical one. I’ll pay.”

“Sheng Jiu, since when did you like racing?” Jiang Pan was curious.

“No, it’s for Fourth Brother Shen.” Sheng Jiu loved racing, but she couldn’t buy it now. She had to wait until the time was right.

“Sheng Jiu, are you stupid? Why did you give him a racing car worth tens of millions?” Jiang Pan widened his eyes.

“I’m the one who dirtied Fourth Brother Shen’s car. Of course, I have to compensate.” As Sheng Jiu spoke, she pressed the elevator button. At this moment, the elevator door beside her opened. He Sijun saw Sheng Jiu and greeted him with a smile. “Sheng Jiu, are you done showering? Fourth Master is upstairs. Come, let’s go over together.” He Sijun invited Sheng Jiu warmly.

“No need. Cousin and I are going home.” Sheng Jiu refused without hesitation. She was leaving now to avoid Shen Xiuwen. How could she go up with He Sijun? If she did, wouldn’t she be walking into a trap?
