?Chapter 208: Chapter 209 Disappearance (4)_1 Chapter 208: Chapter 209 Disappearance (4)_1 However, before she could take a step, Liang Chen’s voice, cold as millennia-old ice, slowly resounded from behind her: “Nanny Lin, instruct the driver and gardener now to escort Shen Liangnian away from my doorsteps!”
“Yes, Mr. Chen.” Sensing the unusual atmosphere around Liang Chen, Nanny Lin hurriedly acknowledged his order and scampered out of the dining room.
Only then did Liang Chen slowly rise, collect the coat behind him, don it neatly, and stride to Jing Haohao’s side. Glancing at her, he said: “I’m off to work now. With the heavy rain today, do not venture out recklessly and risk catching a cold.”
With that said, he headed out of the dining room.
The sizeable dining room became quiet in an instant.
Jing Haohao remained motionless for a while before stiffly standing up and walking over to the dining room’s window. Through the broad glass, she saw the driver and the gardener walk up to the gate, and along with the gatekeeper, saying something to Shen Liangnian who began gesticulating wildly.
…
“I want to see Jing Haohao, I want to go in, I want to see Jing Haohao!”
As Shen Liangnian hollered, he tried to press his way past the villa’s gate.
“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, but you cannot go inside. Now, I’ll escort you back,” the driver and the gardener politely blocked Shen Liangnian.
Yet Shen Liangnian, as if possessed, suddenly employed brute force to push the two away but not long after, the three became entangled in a melee.
Having not fully recuperated, Shen Liangnian was low in strength. He had been standing outside for so long he was profoundly weak. Now, his emotional upheaval sapped even more of his strength, rendering him breathless as the driver and the gardener hurriedly bundled him into the car.
As the gardener was about to close the gate, Liang Chen drove leisurely out from the villa. As he approached the car in which Shen Liangnian was sitting, he slowed the vehicle somewhat. Lowering the car window, he took a glance at the furious face of Shen Liangnian, turned his head towards the driver and said, “Send Mr. Shen to the People’s Hospital. Also, pass a message onto Miss Qiao – since she wants this man, she should ensure she keeps a closer eye on him!”
Having said that, Liang Chen vehemently stepped on the accelerator, and the car swiftly took off.
…
Jing Haohao remained standing before the mirror, saw Liang Chen’s car pause briefly before driving away, followed closely by the car carrying Shen Liangnian, which gingerly disappeared from view.
The entire world instantaneously fell silent.
The rain outside the window intensified, pouring down from the sky, resembling a torrent.
Jing Haohao stood by the window for a long time, immobile.
The domestic staff within the house discreetly stood to one side, everyone remaining silent.
The dining room was eerily quiet.
After a while, Nanny Lin approached her and gently inquired, “Miss Jing, would you like to continue eating?”
Expecting Jing Haohao to be in tears, Nanny Lin was taken aback when Jing Haohao turned around to present a placid and composed face.
Smiling faintly at Nanny Lin, Jing Haohao replied, “No need, I’m full.”
Nanny Lin heaved a sigh of relief and instructed the staff to clean up the dining room and leave.
Only when Jing Haohao was left alone in the dining room did she slowly turn around to gaze at the pouring rain outside the window. After a while, she raised her hand and slowly wrote four characters on the glass window.
Liangnian, goodbye.
