Chapter 1298: Chapter 1297: Misjudging People Chapter 1298: Chapter 1297: Misjudging People “Hmm, I’ll take you there now; he’ll still give me some face,” Third Brother also felt there was a good chance.

Uncle Wen knew that person; he was a bit of a lecher. Indeed, as the saying goes, lust like a knife atop one’s head often leads to mistakes.

“Thank you, Third Brother, for the trouble,” Zhou Shengting said gratefully.

He was also praying in his heart for Bai Lan’s safety and hoping nothing bad would happen.

“No need to be polite, let’s go,” Third Brother hurriedly set off with Zhou Shengting.

People were already waiting in the car below.

…

At dawn, the faint morning light penetrated the beige sheer curtains and spread across the wooden floor of the room.

On the bed, Bai Lan opened her sleepy eyes. She had originally planned just to rest her eyes last night but eventually became too sleepy to stay awake, and then she fell asleep.

Awakening now, her mind was clear, and she was startled to realize where she was.

Then she checked the door was still as it was last night, the room untouched, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then she continuously blamed herself. Really, she had been too careless. How could she let this happen?

What if someone had barged in? What then?

Just as she was deep in thought, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Bai Lan shivered suddenly, anxiety rising in her heart. She was pregnant and a frail woman; if someone really had ill intentions, she had no ability to resist.

Bai Lan tightly gripped the blanket, becoming very alert.

The door opened, and a sleazy-looking man entered, carrying a tray with a breakfast of milk, an egg, and buns.

Bai Lan was somewhat surprised; the breakfast was quite lavish, which seemed to indicate they dared not treat her poorly.

But was the food safe? She decided to eat as little as possible.

“Up you get, breakfast is ready,” the man said nonchalantly as he entered.

Bai Lan looked at him, feeling a sense of inexplicable fear. This man gave her a bad feeling.

“Put the things down and then leave,” Bai Lan said boldly.

She just wanted this man to hurry up and disappear from her sight.

What she didn’t know was that saying this only triggered the man’s defiance more, making him less willing to leave the more she asked.

“Heh, not bad, quite a personality. I like it,” the man chuckled lightly, his demeanor frivolous.

Bai Lan furrowed her brow upon hearing his words, “Disgusting, please leave immediately.”

“I’m not leaving, what will you do about it? I thought you were a meek little sheep, but turns out you’re more like a spicy chili. Even better, more exciting–I like it more,” the man’s words grew increasingly sleazy.

Bai Lan suddenly felt fearful, and regretted why she had provoked him earlier.

This kind of person was utterly unscrupulous and careless about the consequences of his actions.

“I am your boss’s honored guest; if you dare touch a hair on me, you’ll regret it later,” Bai Lan mustered her courage to threaten.

But her threatening words had no deterrent effect at all.

The man laughed as if hearing a joke, “An honored guest? Haha, you really dare flatter yourself. Su Qian said we could mess with you a little for some fun, as long as we don’t kill you.”

Hearing this, Bai Lan’s heart turned cold, completely unexpected that Su Qian was such a ruthless person.

The woman looked so meek and weak, yet she was actually quite a character.

At that moment, Bai Lan inwardly cursed herself for being an idiot and failing to see people for who they truly were.
