Chapter 1490: It Has Been Three Years
Gu Meng, the village head, and the rest were invited to the best restaurant in town by Jiang Chao.
The restaurant was considered to be a high-end one in town. The stairs were carpeted and the walls were glowing with a metallic luster. There were vases and chandeliers everywhere.
At the door of the room, there was a waitress wearing a cheongsam.
The room held a large turntable with a television and mahjong table.
The village head and the rest were flattered. They had never been to such a high-class restaurant before.
Jiang Chao ordered a large table of dishes and he personally brought wine.
The village leader and the rest were very grateful to Jiang Chao. If he had not made the decision, they would not have been able to buy the fishing boat at the most favorable price.
So when Jiang Chao toasted them, they all drank.
After the village leader and the rest drank too much, Jiang Chao turned his attention to Gu Meng, who had been eating quietly.
Seeing Jiang Chao looking at Gu Meng, the village head immediately said, “Mengmeng, it’s all thanks to Young Master Jiang today. Give him a toast too.”
Jiang Chao’s subordinate brought a glass of white wine for Gu Meng.
Gu Meng said with a red face, “But I don’t know how to drink it...”
“Just one glass. It’ll be fine.”
Under the village head’s urging, Gu Meng stood up and walked in front of Jiang Chao. She lowered her eyes and said shyly, “Young Master Jiang, I really can only drink one cup.”
Her crisp and soft voice made Jiang Chao’s abdomen turn numb.
Holding the wine, he stood up from the chair and looked at Gu Meng with a heated gaze. Seeing that her fair face was flushed red and she was still talking, his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Drinking one cup is fine too. Sister Gu is so pretty, how about we have a big toast?”
Gu Meng’s face turned even redder.
The village head and the rest also understood that Young Master Jiang probably gave them a discount because of Gu Meng.
Gu Meng was embarrassed but the village head kept winking at Gu Meng. Gu Meng had no choice but to agree.
Her hand that was holding the wine glass moved around the other party’s neck and she downed the wine with a burning face.
After drinking it, Jiang Chao glanced at Gu Meng meaningfully.
Gu Meng returned to her seat and after a while, she supported her forehead with her hand, looking dizzy.
“Sister Gu is really not good at drinking.” Jiang Chao said as he looked out of the window. “It’s already late today. How about this, I’ll go to the hotel with you to arrange a room. The uncles don’t have to go back tonight. I’ll let my subordinate send Sister Gu to the hotel first. We’ll head over later.”
Jiang Chao glanced at his men and they immediately helped the groggy Gu Meng up.
After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Chao’s men helped Gu Meng toward the car parked outside.
Pulling open the car door, he was about to push Gu Meng into the car when a strong fist suddenly swung toward his face.
Before he could see who had touched him, the girl in the car was pulled into someone’s arms. Then, that person left like a meteor.
That person was wearing a black shirt and pants, his back was tall and thin. He placed the girl on an old motorcycle and sped away.
The lackey wiped the blood from his nose and hurriedly got into the car to chase after them.
However, the person on the motorcycle turned left and right and soon disappeared.
...
Gu Meng was a little dazed as she was suddenly carried onto the motorcycle.
She sat in front of the man, with the man’s broad and muscular chest behind her back. As the motorcycle sped along the road, she could smell the faint fragrance of soap on the man’s body. It was very clean and pure.
When Gu Meng regained her senses, she stopped pretending to faint and turned to look at the man.
Her pupils constricted when she saw him clearly. “It’s you? W-What are you doing?”
Seeing that Gu Meng’s eyes were bright and clear, the man stopped the car. One of his long legs was on the ground and his two hands were still holding onto the handlebars. She was trapped in front of the motorcycle and his chest.
“Weren’t you drugged?” he asked hoarsely.
Gu Meng blinked. “How did you know that I was drugged?” When she was drinking, she had splashed the wine behind Jiang Chao. She was not so foolish to fall into his trap.
The man narrowed his deep and narrow eyes. “I asked you first.”
“You’re not related to me, why should I tell you?” Gu Meng patted his hand. “Do you know that you ruined my plan? Quick, put me down.”
After not seeing her for three years, her facial features had grown and she had lost her baby fat. Her oval-shaped face was even smaller and more exquisite. However, her personality was still as flamboyant as before, looking like she was not afraid of anything.
If she did not speak, he would not let go.
She tried to pry his arm away, but found that it was as hard as an iron wall. She did not dare to use too much strength, afraid that he would not be able to steady the motorcycle and they would fall to the ground together.
“If you don’t let go, I’ll bite you!”
The man still looked cold, as if he would not let go if she did not say anything.
Gu Meng glared at him angrily. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Miss Shen that you molested me?”
He glanced at her coldly. “What’s there for me to molest?”
Gu Meng had just seen his dark eyes on her chest for a second, as if he was despising her for not having developed enough. She glared at him with a red face.
The two of them stared at each other for a few minutes before Gu Meng was defeated. “Can I trust you?”
“When I was injured, I exposed everything to you. You want to talk to me about trust?”
Gu Meng thought of how she had taken care of him during that period and felt a little awkward. “I did it to take care of you. I was still young at that time and didn’t think too much about it.”
“Tell me, why are you pretending to be drugged?”
Gu Meng looked at his dark eyes and her heart moved. She felt a strange sense of trust and told him the truth.
Her high school deskmate, who was also her good friend, had been violated by Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao had drugged her and had even threatened her with a sex video, telling her not to call the police.
Her good friend had slit her wrists and attempted suicide a few days ago. Although she had been saved, she was in a living hell.
Gu Meng wanted to get close to Jiang Chao and get the video for her good friend, then call the police, and bring the bad guy to justice.
After listening to Gu Meng’s story, the man pursed his lips tightly. After a long silence, he suddenly started the motorcycle and drove her away.
Gu Meng saw that he was driving in the opposite direction instead of taking her to look for Jiang Chao. She turned back and glared at him. “Where are you taking me? I want to get off, let me down!”
“Shut up,” he ordered coldly.
Gu Meng was a little anxious and angry. However, the weather was not good and it started to rain.
Both of them had been drenched.
He brought her to the pier. Once the motorcycle stopped, she turned her head and pounded on his body. “Why are you always like this? You didn’t leave a word when you left and did whatever you wanted. Why are you so annoying...”
“Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?” He got off the motorcycle, his narrow eyes staring at her slightly heaving chest.
Gu Meng glanced at her chest and her face immediately turned red.
She was wearing a white t-shirt today. After getting drenched in the rain, the t-shirt had become transparent and clung tightly to her body. Even her small belly button could be seen clearly and her bra was even more obvious.
She had always worn sports styles or conservative styles in the past. Today was the first time she was wearing those with underwires. Her t-shirt was tight, and the color and shape of her bra were exposed without reservation.
