I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 179 Nothing Could Be Predicted

179 Nothing Could Be Predicted

The next moment, he walked over with an excited expression. “Qianqian, what are you doing here?”

“She’s a new member of our department.”

Department Director Miao smiled and looked at them. Do you two know each other?”

Sang Qianqian nodded her head and looked at Xie Shi’an indifferently. “I still have things to do now. Let’s talk again when we have time.”

Xie Shi’an mumbled, “Are you free at noon? I’ll treat you to a meal?”

Sang Qianqian did not reject him. “Alright.”

It just so happened that she had to return the two checks to him.

—

In the afternoon, in a restaurant near the hospital, Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an sat opposite each other.

Xie Shi’an felt an indescribable feeling and was extremely excited.

He had thought that after the shooting, Sang Qianqian would never forgive him and would never talk to him again. He didn’t expect her to be willing to sit and eat with him.

“Qianqian, why did you come to Beijing to work?” Xie Shi’an asked.

If he hadn’t seen Sang Qianqian with his own eyes today, he wouldn’t have believed that it was really her.

“I wanted to come over and learn with Director Miao.”

Sang Qianqian avoided the main point. “What about you? Why did you go back to the hospital?”

Xie Shi’an’s eyes dimmed. “It’s a long story.”

He paused for a moment. “Qianqian, you should know my ident.i.ty by now, right?”

“I know. It was Sister Xiaoshuang who told me.”

Sang Qianqian’s tone was indifferent. “You’re quite tight-lipped. I worked in the same hospital as you for four years, but you never revealed anything about you being the Xie family’s Fourth Young Master.”

“My surname is only Xie, and I’m not the Fourth Young Master.”

At the mention of the Xie family, Xie Shi’an’s eyes flashed with coldness.

He looked deeply into Sang Qianqian’s eyes. “Actually, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell you back then. I was afraid that it would cause you trouble.”

Sang Qianqian did not quite understand. “Trouble?”

“When I quit my job, I came back to the Xie family. At that time, the Xie family kept forcing me to give up my inheritance. Master Cheng was afraid they would find out that I like you and use you to threaten me. That’s why I didn’t tell you anything when I left. Instead, I deliberately said those words to the Dean.”

Xie Shi’an looked ashamed and regretful. “I originally thought that you might have… Some feelings left for me. When I return to the capital, perhaps everything would’ve been settled in a year or two. At that time, I would’ve gone back to find you, but I didn’t expect that what happened next was completely beyond my expectations.”

Sang Qianqian was silent for a long time.

She didn’t know why, but she suddenly thought of the ring she had asked Wen Xu to return to Shen Hanyu. It seemed that the ring was the right one.

She also had the same thoughts as Xie Shi’an, thinking that she would go back to Shen Hanyu after she settled things on her side.

However, just as Xie Shi’an said, nothing could be predicted. Who knew what would happen?

Perhaps by the time she got back, Shen Hanyu would have already gotten married and even had a child.

Xie Shi’an saw that she was silent and thought that she was angry. He felt even more guilty. “I can only blame myself for listening to Master Cheng. I shouldn’t have given up on you. I…”

Sang Qianqian interrupted him, “You couldn’t have said these things to me in the past. Why are you able to say them now?”

“Now that I’ve given up the right of inheritance, the Xie family has nothing to do with me anymore. And,”

Xie Shi’an hesitated for a moment, but still said, “And you’re already married now.”

After the shooting.

Xie Shi’an had returned to the Xie family at once. In front of all Xie family members, he had clearly stated that he had no interest in the Xie family’s a.s.sets and wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion for the family’s a.s.sets in the future.

At that time, he had wanted to sell all the shares of the Xie family under his name, but Ruan Cheng had forced someone to take him away.

Although the shares weren’t sold, Xie Shi’an later signed a resignation letter and gave all the shares to the Ruan family.

Today, it could be said that he no longer had any ties with the Xie family and would no longer follow the path that Ruan Cheng had set for him.

Instead, he became a doctor in Beijing because he wanted the Xie family to understand that his ambition wasn’t in their family.

The people of the Xie family were suspicious at first, but seeing that he had made up his mind and cut off contact with Ruan Cheng, they no longer saw him as a threat.

Since he was hanging out with Sang Qianqian, he naturally did not have to worry about anything bad happening to her.

The most important thing was that Sang Qianqian had married Shen Hanyu and was now his wife.

Shen Hanyu’s status in the country was considered to be one of the highest in the business world. The Xie family wouldn’t dare to do anything to Sang Qianqian out of respect for her.

—

Apart from them, there were probably no more than five people who knew about the news of Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu’s breakup.

It was normal for Xie Shi’an to mistakenly think she was still Shen Hanyu’s wife.

Sang Qianqian didn’t reply, nor did she explain.

Instead, she took out the two checks from her bag and pushed them over. “These two gifts are too heavy. I can’t take it.”

Xie Shi’an didn’t take it. “Qianqian, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Your wedding with Shen Hanyu was ruined, and he was seriously injured. I’m responsible for this, and this is all I can do for you.”

“Didn’t the police already find out that it had nothing to do with you?”

Sang Qianqian said calmly, “Even if it really has something to do with you, what can this money make up for? Instead, it will only cause a rift between me and Hanyu. Shi ‘an, take it back. I really can’t accept this check.”

Xie Shi’an’s expression was a little complicated. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. If you need me to explain to Shen Hanyu…”

“There’s no need,” Sang Qianqian said lightly. “I’ve already explained to him.”

She looked at the time and stood up. “I still have something to do. I’ll take my leave first.”

Xie Shi’an caught up with her. “Qianqian.”

Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks and turned back. “Is there anything else?”

Xie Shi’an looked at Sang Qianqian, his emotions fluctuating. However, in the end, he only said in a low voice, “I’m sorry,” he said.

Sang Qianqian was silent for two seconds. She smiled slightly, but did not say anything. Afterward, she turned and left.

The truth of the matter was not clear yet. She couldn’t say the words ‘It’s okay’ without any grudges.

When she returned the two checks to Xie Shi’an, Sang Qianqian felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her heart and she was much more relaxed.

After a few days, she quickly adapted to her work in the hospital. Although she was now working in the Chinese Medicine Department, the new challenges made her even more happy.

The only thing that she couldn’t figure out was Xie Shi’an’s att.i.tude.

By right, if Xie Shi’an ruined the wedding and hired a hitman to kill Shen Hanyu…

Now that she was in the capital and had become colleagues with Xie Shi’an, if Xie Shi’an really had any feelings for her, he would’ve expressed his feelings.

However, Xie Shi’an stayed polite and maintained his relationship of being colleagues or friends with her. He did not cross the line.

Was it true that Xie Shi’an had nothing to do with the shooting, or was he hiding it too well?

That night, Sang Qianqian worked overtime until very late. She was surprised to find that someone seemed to be living next door.

A car was parked at the entrance, and a woman in a rice-colored coat and long boots got out and strode into the house.

When she was walking up the steps, she flipped her hair. The light from the street lamp reflected the eye-catching ruby earrings on her ears.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash.
