Chapter 315 - 319 Interest (4)
"It’s nothing." Situ Xuan shook his head, then glanced again at the beside, soulless Zhao Ziyin. "It’s not easy to hail a cab here. Where do you need to go? I can take you."
Upon hearing his words, Ya Jiayi became anxious, "But we have arranged with Director Chen that later we need to....."
Situ Xuan shot her a look, his presence imposing like a mountain, akin to a sword’s edge pressing down upon her shoulders. Ya Jiayi immediately took a step back and dared not say more.
"How could I impose?" Jian Anning, not someone who was oblivious to subtleties, immediately shook her head, supported Zhao Ziyin, and nodded at him again, "Mr. Situ, I really appreciate your help today. You have work to do, so I won’t bother you any longer. Goodbye."
She was neither servile nor overbearing. She didn’t seem overly familiar, nor did she appear impolite, and she expressed her gratitude very well.
What was more interesting was that she clearly knew of her extraordinary background. Even the Director of the Construction Bureau of Shangcheng had to bow and scrape before him, yet when she looked at him, her expression remained unchanged, devoid of any opportunistic or flattering traits!
She truly was an intriguing and graceful woman. Even if it wasn’t for the fact that she was Yu Zexiao’s companion, whom he intended to get close to, Situ Xuan would still have wished to approach her, to pursue her, just for her behavior alone.
The previous night, he had gone out to investigate Jian Anning’s identity. However, she held a Canadian passport with the name Jian Anning, and on the surface, there seemed nothing amiss. Although he wielded great influence in the United States, as she was Canadian, investigating her would prove much more troublesome.
Anyway, even if he didn’t chase after her today, he would have plenty of opportunities and time to meet her in the future.
He no longer pressed the issue and, accommodatingly, nodded, "Uh, then I won’t give you a ride."
