Chapter 219 - 219: Falling Glory: Clash on Sight
“Come here, let me see the wound.”
Shen Wan obediently extended her hand, and Zou Lian carefully unwrapped the gauze, his movements professional and composed. “…It’s recovering nicely, and there’s no sign of infection. As long as it doesn’t split open again, it should scab over quickly.”
While speaking, he changed her dressing, wrapping it in clean gauze.
“Thank you.”
Zou Lian smiled and waved his hand. “I’ll go downstairs to make some medicine.”
Shen Wan nodded and watched him leave.
As the morning light grew brighter and the temperature noticeably rose, the pitch-black roof gradually faded, becoming entirely transparent within five minutes.
Lustrous glass tiles…
The spacious interior resembled a massive greenhouse, yet the temperature remained constant, providing the best sensory experience.
A seemingly rustic mountain villa was filled with a high-tech atmosphere, whether it was the glass tiles before her or the well-equipped underground clinic, showing that it was not an ordinary mansion.
Huiteng Group…
With such a powerful company and a strong leader like Quan Hanting, why did it disappear from the scene four years ago?
In her previous life, after Shen Wan returned to the Shen family, she gradually integrated into Ning City’s business circle. Of course, she heard of the famous “Huiteng,” but it was only hearsay for her. This once-renowned shipping conglomerate had already fallen before she entered this circle, becoming a legendary “myth,” and its protagonist, “Sixth Lord,” was never seen.
Some said that Huiteng didn’t collapse but underwent a transformation.
Others claimed that Huiteng left Ning City to seek greater development opportunities in Jingping.
There were even rumors that Quan Hanting was assassinated, leading to a change in leadership within Huiteng, resulting in the group’s disintegration.
Various speculations circulated.
Shen Wan merely listened to these stories, considering them as tales to pass the time. After all, in her previous life, she arrived four years too late and was destined to be a passerby.
Unexpectedly, in this life, not only did she catch up, but it seemed she was also getting involved.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at the sky through the glass tiles.
The golden-orange sunlight slightly dazzled her eyes. She raised her left hand to shield her eyes for a moment, and her entire being was enveloped in it, her figure blurred, leaving only a soft and warm presence.
Lushen entered from outside, witnessing this picturesque scene.
The woman’s body was turned sideways, and as she looked up, her long hair cascaded down her back. She wore a hoodie that reached a third of her thighs, revealing two slender and snow-white legs extending below it.
“Quite good-looking.”
But then he thought, of course, the vixen would be good-looking, otherwise, how could she seduce men?
With this in mind, Lushen’s originally good mood suddenly deteriorated by a large margin.
“Hey! You’re not asleep this early in the morning, but you’re acting all artsy here. Who do you think you’re putting on a show for?” he grumbled with a touch of annoyance.
Shen Wan stopped and turned to look at the entrance. The curve of her upturned lips gradually flattened, and her gaze turned cold.
Lushen saw her change her expression as easily as flipping a book. Oh, she dared to give him attitude?
Instantly, he was extremely displeased. “Too bad, no matter how good you look, my Sixth Brother won’t be able to appreciate it. There’s a saying, how does it go? Oh, seducing a blind man… Hahaha… You crack me up!”
The woman didn’t get angry but instead asked, “So, do you think Sixth Lord is blind?”
Uh!
The laughter abruptly stopped.
“Don’t sow discord. I was insulting you. Do you understand?” he gritted his teeth.
“I didn’t understand,” Shen Wan innocently replied.
“You!” The man clenched his teeth.
Shen Wan glanced at him and said, “Getting angry easily harms your liver. Seventh Lord can have a cup of chrysanthemum tea, it’s remarkably effective at clearing heat and reducing fire.”
“Are you mocking me?”
Shen Wan nodded. “You can interpret it that way.”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Lushen’s mouth..
