The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 411

Chapter 411: A Deal With The Devil

Sheng An’ning took a deep breath. Her fingers, which had been stretched out, were now tightly clenched again.

Luo Xiuxiu had told her long ago that Jiang Zhiyuan’s 70th birthday banquet was going to be a grand one. He was going to invite many good friends of the aristocratic families.

That was why Sheng An’ning had been thinking about what gift she should give him. It would not only win the heart of grandfather Jiang but also allow her to show off in front of the other members of the aristocratic families.

That’s right. Ever since Jiang Haoxuan was no longer as obedient as before toward Sheng An’ning, Sheng An’ning had been thinking that it was time to do something to promote herself to the outside world.

If she didn’t marry Jiang Haoxuan, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find a few other members of the aristocratic families as backup.

Sheng An’ning’s mind was full of thoughts, and a light flashed across her eyes quickly.

If Mr. Chen wasn’t lying to her, then this proposal could kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did it solve the problem she had been racking her brains over for days, but it would also successfully steel Su Wan’s idea and her limelight, leaving her speechless.

However, Mr. Chen actually knew what gift Su Wan had prepared for the birthday banquet…

This man was too scary!

Who exactly was he and what was his relationship with Su Wan?

For a moment, Sheng An’ning seemed to see layers of fog blocking her view, preventing her from seeing the truth.

Sheng An’ning bit her lips. She stared at the figure outside the grapevine and asked anxiously.

“Mr. Chen, since you know all these trivial things, tell me, why has Haoxuan ignored me recently?”

Sheng An’ning did not realize that her attitude was getting softer and softer, and even her tone was tinged with a hint of hope.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen glanced at Sheng An’ning casually.

Despite him being so far away and wearing sunglasses that covered half of his face, Sheng Anning still felt a bone-chilling chill.

Sheng An’ning couldn’t help but shudder. She knew that the chill wasn’t directed at her.

Even so, she couldn’t help but feel fearful.

Such a man with an unknown background…

She didn’t know anything about his identity or background, but the man was the exact opposite. He had seen through everything about her.

Sheng An’ning’s lips and teeth were filled with bitterness. Perhaps, she was really dealing with the devil now.

“Miss Sheng, I’ve already shown my sincerity. Shouldn’t you show me something before you ask for an answer?”

Mr. Chen’s hoarse voice sounded in the air. The rough tone made Sheng An’ning feel a little uncomfortable.

The temples on Sheng An’ning’s forehead kept twitching. She didn’t know why, but even before Mr. Chen spoke, she had a vague feeling that his request was not that simple.

Sheng An’ning took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart. She tried her best to remain calm.

“Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?”

So what if she had made a deal with the devil? Now that she was in this situation, if she did not think of a way to keep Jiang Haoxuan, she was afraid that her days would become more and more difficult.

Since Mr. Chen had found her, it meant that she was useful.

However, even Sheng An’ning herself didn’t know what she could do for a mysterious figure like Mr. Chen.

Just as Sheng An’ning’s thoughts were changing, the man not far away finally spoke in a low voice.

“Will senior master Jiang hold a birthday banquet for his 70th birthday?”

Sheng An’ning was stunned when she heard this. She didn’t understand why Mr. Chen would suddenly mention this.

However, Mr. Chen’s words made Sheng An’ning wary.

Jiang Zhiyuan had always been very busy. The so-called birthday banquet had always been a family banquet. However, it was the 70th birthday this time, and Luo Xiuxiu was nagging about making a proper arrangement.

She had only suspected that Mr. Chen was Su Wan’s enemy. However, after these few interactions, Sheng An’ning alertly felt that the person Mr. Chen really hated might not be Su Wan.

Could Mr. Chen be targeting the Jiang family?

As soon as this answer popped up in her mind, Sheng An’ning couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes.

However, in all of Jiuzhou, who didn’t want to flatter the Jiang family? How could they be willing to be the Jiang family’s enemies?

Sheng An’ning subconsciously wanted to deny this answer, but once this idea was formed, it was hard to erase from her mind.

Sheng An’ning looked at the slender figure in front of her, and her eyes unconsciously showed a hint of respect.

No matter what, Mr. Chen was not someone she could afford to offend.

However, Sheng An’ning grew up in the Jiang family, which was her most powerful protection. If she lost this towering tree as a support, Sheng An’ning felt that she would not have a good ending.

Sheng An’ning’s thoughts spun rapidly. She calmed down for two seconds and tried her best to remain calm. However, she could not help but ask the question she wanted to ask the most.

“Mr. Chen, do you have a grudge against the Jiang family?”

For a long time, she did not hear the man’s answer.

Sheng An’ning furrowed her brows. Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly heard the man’s hoarse laughter.

The laughter was a little strange, but it made her feel uncomfortable.

“Miss Sheng, you’re smarter than I thought. Unfortunately, you’re still wrong.”

Sheng An’ning’s beautiful eyes froze when she heard Mr. Chen’s words.

Did Mr. Chen deny it?

Sheng An’ning pursed her lips, and the conflicted feelings in her heart receded a little. If Mr. Chen really had a grudge against the Jiang family, then she would hesitate to cooperate with him.

It was not because the Jiang family was very kind to her, but to Sheng An’ning, the Jiang family was like an umbrella and the foundation for her to gain the envy of everyone.

However, before Sheng An’ning could heave a sigh of relief, a low and hoarse male voice came from the front again.

“Miss Sheng, I believe that with your ability, it won’t be difficult for you to find out the process and personnel arrangements for the birthday banquet. As long as you send me this information, I will also give you the answer you want.”

Hearing this, Sheng An’ning’s heart started beating wildly.

What was this man trying to do?

Who would want to know about grandfather Jiang’s birthday banquet arrangements?

Sheng An’ning had a vague feeling that Mr. Chen wanted to know about these things with malicious intentions.

Mr. Chen said that he had no enmity with the Jiang family, but sending her to investigate these things didn’t seem like a good thing!

“What’s the matter, Miss Sheng, are you hesitating? This matter might be a difficult one for others, but for you, it should be a piece of cake, right?”

“It’s easy for you to exchange this information with me for the position of the second young madam of the Jiang family. Don’t you know what to do in such a profitable business?”

Mr. Chen’s tone was extremely firm, as if he had expected Sheng An’ning to be reluctant to reject him.

After he finished speaking, he chuckled softly. His coarse laughter seemed to be tainted with a deadly poison, causing Sheng An’ning’s heart to tighten.

That’s right, she lived in the Jiang family. Luo Xiuxiu and the Jiang family’s stewards were not on guard against her at all. If she really wanted to know something, it would not be difficult.

Sheng An’ning gritted her teeth and stared at Mr. Chen.

“Mr. Chen, when will you give me the answer I want after I give you this information?”

“On the day of the birthday banquet, how about it?”
