Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 42

Shu Tian paused and answered the truth, "Yes."

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Junting loosened his grip on her wrist. His eyes were so deep that

she could not see his emotions clearly. "Go."

Shu Tian quickly walked out of the private room, went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, wet the

tissue and slapped it on her forehead. Fan Ming's words were all in her mind.

Back then, her father was investigated and punished for approving a business on the grounds of

corruption and bribery. At that time, the cooperation partner was Baoyou Group, but Baoyou Group was

not as large as it was now. That was their first year of joint cooperation with the government.

Shu Tian didn't know the details. All he knew was that Shu Changlei had been sentenced to 13 years

by the double ruling. His family spent a lot of money to bail him out. With such a prison record, it was

very difficult for him to find a job. His friends also avoided him. Shu Changlei could only survive by

running a small retail business.

Speaking of corruption, in Shu Tian's impression, she had never felt that her family was particularly

rich. They just had a normal well-off life.

But what she didn't expect was that Fan Ming, who acted as Shu Changlei's lawyer in the case back

then, actually became the legal representative of Baoyou Group.

As the opposite party, no matter how negligent Baoyou Group was, it would not choose to use such a

person. Moreover, it was a huge matter back then. Was the boss of Baoyou Group so lenient?

Shu Tian always felt strange. It must be complicated. She wanted to ask her father later.

Shu Tian was lost in thought when the phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was

Tang Zechen.

She picked it up. "Hello."

"Where are you?" The man's calm voice came from the microphone.

Shu Tian took the wet tissue off her forehead and threw it into the trash can. "I'm attending a social

engagement."

"Let's meet when you're done."

"If you have anything to say, say it on the phone. We may not be able to meet in time." Most

importantly, Shu Tian didn't want to see him now.

The other party pondered for a moment, then spoke again after a long time. "You want to talk about

divorce, so let's sit down and talk."

Shu Tian paused and was a little wary of Tang Zechen's sudden change of attitude. "Why did you

suddenly come to your senses?"

"Mengyao is pregnant."

Shu Tian was still shocked even if she was mentally prepared. Jiang Mengyao was pregnant...

She couldn't help but think of Liu Lifang. Shu Tian knew best how much she wanted to have a

grandson. Back then, when she married Tang Zechen, she had been urged to get pregnant from the

moment they got married. Now, Liu Lifang finally got what she wanted. Not for Jiang Mengyao, but for

her grandson, Liu Lifang would agree to the divorce.

Shu Tian thought that her heart would ache more or less, but she sadly realized that apart from the

initial surprise, she was much calmer than she thought.

Her emotions had long been consumed by Tang Zechen's pestering.

"Come out. I've booked a room in Hongding Club, A301. Let's make it clear face to face."

...

After coming out of the bathroom, Ye Junting waited for her at the entrance of the tea house. The man

was dressed in formal suit. He stood under the bright light. He was tall and straight with long legs,

which made him very eye-catching.

Occasionally, a young waiter passed by and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Seeing Shu Tian coming over, Ye Junting put away the phone in his palm and said, "I'll send you back."

"No need. I have to go somewhere else."

Ye Junting's deep eyes fell on her face. "A date?"

"No." Shu Tian sighed helplessly. "I'm going to discuss about divorce."

"Divorce?" Ye Junting was shocked again. "How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-four." Shu Tian knew what he was thinking. She was afraid that the atmosphere would be

awkward, so she even made a joke of herself. "When I got married, others were single. When I

divorced, others were still single. It was such a waste of time."

Ye Junting didn't expect her to be in the mood to tease herself. Knowing that it was inconvenient for her

to talk about her personal affairs in front of him, he stopped forcing her. "Go ahead. If there's

anything..."

Shu Tian didn't hear clearly. "What?"

Ye Junting waved his phone at her. "Call me if you need anything."

Shu Tian was surprised and felt that his words were a little strange, but looking at Ye Junting's calm

eyes, she felt that she was overthinking and answered, "Okay."

...

Hongding Club was one of the more famous entertainment clubs in the city. It is famous for its high

consumption. A booth in the hall costed tens of thousands of dollars a night, let alone a VIP room. A

most common bottle of wine was worth more than ten thousand yuan.

However, only members could come in and spend. If you wanted to become a member here, you had

to pass a certain background check.

When Shu Tian entered the times, no one stopped her. It was probably because Tang Zechen had told

the manager in advance to let her in.

Shu Tian followed Tang Zechen's message to room A301. She pushed the door open and went in

without seeing anyone else. The door panel was so soundproof that she could not hear the noise

outside.

Shu Tian found Tang Zechen's number and dialed it. His line was busy. She walked to the sofa and sat

down. She saw the bottles and glasses on the table. Did he go to the bathroom?

There was a strange smell in the room. Shu Tian wrinkled her nose and didn't take it to heart. It was

probably the smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol, which was a little pungent.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tang Zechen was still nowhere to be seen. Shu Tian looked

around the room and suddenly felt something was wrong. She stood up and wanted to walk out, but

just as she stood up, she was dizzy.

Her strength seemed to have been taken away, and she stood for less than two seconds before falling

back into the sofa.

Shu Tian held the sofa and tried to stand up again, but she could not exert any strength at all. It was as

if a few tons of stone had been pressed on her head, making it difficult for her to even balance herself.

She realized that it was not good and forced herself to take out a wet towel from her bag and cover her

nose and mouth.

Before she could brace herself of this impact, the door of the private room was once again opened from

the outside. The two men came in were wearing black jackets and black pants, and she was too dizzy

that she could not see their faces clearly. However, Shu Tian could tell by their outlines that neither of

them was Tang Zechen!

That's not good!

It was a trap.

After the two men came in, they drove her out without a word. Shu Tian struggled desperately, but her

struggle was like a scratch to the men, and it didn't work at all.

Shu Tian was taken to the third floor of the Hongding Club, which was full of business suites. It was

self-evident what they were used for. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

With a click, the room card swiped open the door.

Seeing that she was about to be carried in, she suddenly burst out in despair, biting one man's arm and

kicking another in the crotch at the same time.

The two of them were unprepared and suddenly let go of their hands. Shu Tian took advantage of this

gap to open the door and run out. Her legs were feeble and she staggered out while bracing the wall,

like a headless fly.

The two of them came back to their senses and chased after her. Shu Tian knew that they were getting

closer and closer without looking back.

The elevator... Was right in front!

Perhaps God had helped her. As soon as Shu Tian ran in front of the elevator, the door opened in front

of her.

She didn't even have time to look up and barge straight in. In a panic, she suddenly bumped into

someone's chest—

She didn't even have time to apologize. "Move, move!".

Just as she reached out to press the button to close the door, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and

the man's deep voice was tinged with bone-chilling coldness. "Shu Tian?"
