Chapter 4 He Was Still Tall (1)

Shao Jun did not say anything. He completely ignored Xu Nianyi's struggle and questioning. He just tightly held her waist with his strong arms and carried her out of the square. They returned to the car at the roadside.

"You bastard, put me down quickly. If you continue to do this, I will call for help! Put me down now!" Seeing that he did not want to let her go, Xu Nianyi panicked and her voice became louder. She clenched her fists and punched the man's chest recklessly.

"Why are you so disobedient? I said I would help you!" Shao Jun's face remained calm as if he could not feel the pain, but his tone suddenly became more serious.

Hearing his powerful voice, Xu Nianyi was stunned suddenly.

Shao Jun lowered his head and looked at her. His gentle face looked tense at the moment. His dark eyes were very deep, and his body exuded a powerful aura that only a king could possess.

Looking at his pitch-black eyes, Xu Nianyi stopped struggling gradually and her chest was heaving rapidly.

"I'm doing this for you." Shao Jun stared at her for a long time before saying this.

"But I don't know you." She shrank back and said coldly. "You don't have to worry about me."

"You don't remember me, but I still remember you." Shao Jun's hands were still around her waist, and he still carried her in his arms. "I don't want you to thank me. I just can't bear to see you being bullied like this."

"Put me down first!" Xu Nianyi did not struggle, but she stubbornly repeated this sentence.

"I'll let you down. Can you promise not to run around?" His tense face softened as he asked her in a gentle tone.

"I want to go home." Xu Nianyi had always been on guard, and she looked at him coldly and said. "Please put me down."

"Don't be silly. It's so late. I'll drive you home."

"I don't have a home!" It was as if she had been insulted, Xu Nianyi retorted loudly. "I only have a place to live. I don't have a home now!"

When Shao Jun heard this, his eyes looked deeper. He paused for a moment and said, "I can give up the idea of sending you back, but I want to see it personally that you take a taxi."

"Alright, don't follow me anymore after I take the taxi!" Xu Nianyi was a little angry.

"Sure." Only then did Shao Jun put her down, but his eyes were locked on her.

"Don't work at the club anymore. The job is not suitable for you. Send your resume to other companies and get a job." While waiting for the car, Shao Jun suggested it with a hint of concern in his tone.

"It's of no use, I've tried. No company wants me." Xu Nianyi looked down and whispered.

"Have you tried to apply for a job in all the companies?" Shao Jun asked in a gentle voice. "Try a few more. Trust me, you will definitely get a job from one of the companies." He said solemnly as if he had sworn an oath.

Xu Nianyi glanced at him coldly and didn't respond.

Ten minutes later, an empty taxi arrived. Without hesitation, Xu Nianyi took the taxi and left without looking back.

At the roadside, Shao Jun stared at Xu Nianyi's direction for a few seconds before he turned around and got into the car. He followed the taxi unhurriedly until he confirmed that she went back home safely.

Seeing her walk out of the taxi and go into the basement where she lived temporarily, Shao Jun frowned and his dark eyes became deeper...

Two days later.

"Wang Jing, thank you for lending me the money. I've just paid the hospital bill and the rent should be paid soon. If you don't help me, I really don't know what to do."

Xu Nianyi who wore a nightclub sailor's dress hid in the bathroom to answer a call from her friend Wang Jing and she thanked him gratefully.

Just the day before yesterday, she finally found a company that was willing to hire her. It was the largest multinational corporation in Xiahai city!

Although she had found a job, it didn't mean that she would get the salary immediately.

In order to pay the high medical fee for her mother's hospitalization, she had to come to the nightclub secretly to earn some extra money after work.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nianzhi walked out of the bathroom and the lobby manager came to her and told her that a big shot had come here tonight, and he asked her to serve him.

Xu Nianyi had already adapted to this kind of situation. After entering the room, the metal door behind her was slowly closed. The bright light from the corridor gradually disappeared behind Xu Nianyi.

In the private room, there was no usual flickering of lights or loud laughter. Instead, there was a faint light and everything was unusually quiet.

Under the dim light of the lamps, Xu Nianyi saw a man in a black suit sitting on the sofa with a lit cigarette which was in an orange glow between his fingers in the dark.

Beside the man stood a tall and muscular man, who was lowering his head as if he was listening to orders.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, both men raised their heads and looked at Xu Nianyi who was standing at the door.

At that moment, Xu Nianyi saw the eyes of the man in the suit. The moment their eyes met, the wine rack in her hand was almost fallen to the ground.

It's him!

She did not expect that he would actually appear here!

She loved him so much back then and married him regardless of everything. However, on her wedding day, when she was framed and said to deliberately hurt someone, he stood aside like an iceberg, watching her coldly. He did not say a word even when she was brought into the police station,

Later, she was sentenced to be in prison. As her husband, he had never visited her.

Instead, the next year, a divorce agreement was sent to her.

It was not until she got out of prison that she found out that her beloved husband had chosen his illegitimate sister, Xu Fei as his new wife and he had become her "brother-in-law"...

She had endured so much but she did not dare to confront him. But tonight, he appeared in the private room.

Staring at the man in front of her, who was dressed in exquisite clothes and was still handsome, Xu Nianyi stood stiffly at the same spot. For a moment, she forgot to breathe, but her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

She didn't want to see him at all!

She didn't want him to see her lowly look now, but he still came...

Moreover, he still looked so superior and mighty, so calm as if he didn't know her.

She could not move her gaze away. His eyes were deep and dark like a pool which had captured her soul.

She was ashamed, nervous, and angry, and all her emotions clashed in her heart, and her hands trembled harder.

Clang!

The wine rack in her hand fell to the ground and screeched.

Xu Nianyi's face was pale. She looked at the man on the sofa and took a step back with her lips trembling. Then she turned around abruptly and opened the door behind her to escape.

The place near the door was already in a mess, but it was still quiet in the private room.

"Go, invite Xu Nianyi to come back here."

The man sitting on the sofa gently twirled the cigarette in his hand and he glanced at the closed door as he ordered his subordinate beside him.
