Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Opportunity Knocks at the Door

In the evening, Chen Xuan was asked to meet by Meng Jinzhou.

"Mr. Chen, I’ve already retrieved the twenty million. Here’s the bank card!" Meng Jinzhou presented the bank card with both hands.

"Besides the items that could be returned, your mother-in-law’s family spent over two million from the card, but I’ve already replenished that amount!"

"Additionally, here is the property deed from your mother-in-law’s house, as a sign of my respect to Mr. Chen."

As he spoke, Meng Jinzhou also offered the property deed with both hands.

"Property deed?" Chen Xuan was stunned, "How did this end up in your hands?"

Meng Jinzhou then briefly recounted the events that occurred when he was collecting the money.

After listening to Meng Jinzhou’s account, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Indeed, to deal with someone unreasonable like Ding Lijuan, it took someone ruthless like Meng Jinzhou to be more suitable.

"You did well. Don’t worry, I will speak to Guan Hong on your behalf and try to get your son’s jail time reduced further."

Meng Jinzhou was overjoyed, so moved that he was nearly in tears.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Meng Jinzhou bowed deeply in gratitude.

After Meng Jinzhou left, Chen Xuan was going to call Han Jingting directly to hand over both the twenty million and the property deed to her.

But then, Chen Xuan hesitated.

He knew Han Jingting’s character well; she might seem cold and distant, but in reality, she was warm-hearted and kind.

If she knew that Ding Lijuan was now kicked out of the house with nowhere to go, she would undoubtedly give them the house back without a second thought.

Chen Xuan actually had no intention of taking things so far.

After all, Ding Lijuan was Han Jingting’s mother, his mother-in-law, and Chen Xuan naturally couldn’t allow them to be homeless forever.

However, they still needed to be taught a lesson.

They had driven Han Jingting to be homeless, compelled to rent a place to live, so now, it was their turn to experience that kind of life!

After securing the bank card and property deed, Chen Xuan then remembered something else.

Loh Anni!

Chen Xuan had already promised Han Jingting that he would give her a satisfactory explanation regarding their marriage!

And now, it was about time!

Chen Xuan then made a call to Cui Ruyun.

"Ruyun, I have something that I hope you can help with..."

After giving Cui Ruyun all the instructions, Chen Xuan called Han Jingting.

During the day, Han Jingting had been busy working in the noodle shop.

Having grown up with every need met, she had never done such dirty and tiring work, and it had truly exhausted her.

At this moment, Han Jingting came out after taking a bath, planning to watch TV with Xiaoyu and spend some long-missed mother-daughter time.

But just then, Han Jingting’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Chen Xuan calling, Han Jingting immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hello, why haven’t you come back so late?"

If it were before, Han Jingting would definitely have demanded an explanation or simply maintained a cool distance.

But at this moment, her voice only contained a slight, hard-to-detect reproach and expectation.

What Chen Xuan said next, however, completely surprised Han Jingting.

"Jingting, can you come to Room 906 at the Rose Hotel later?"

"What..." Han Jingting thought she had misheard.

This man, was actually inviting her to a hotel?!

Even Han Jingting, as naive as she might be, had already understood what the other person was implying.

After all, with the light rain and Xu Suzhen both at home, things weren’t exactly convenient...

Just thinking about those messy affairs made Han Jingting’s pretty face instantly feel hot and flushed.

In fact, over the past couple of days, she had seen a different side of Chen Xuan.

Such a responsible man had caused a change of heart in her once icy demeanor.

She had considered, taking advantage of the current opportunity to ease the relationship between them, and perhaps, even take it a step further...

But to her surprise, Chen Xuan actually took the initiative and made such a request before she did.

This, in turn, made Han Jingting feel like she was being bullied.

"Chen Xuan, you... don’t think that just because I am staying at your house, you can take the opportunity to make these unreasonable demands. If you dare to do this again, believe it or not... believe it or not, I’ll move out and live somewhere else tomorrow!"

Han Jingting’s voice carried a hint of shamed anger.

Chen Xuan was completely baffled, not immediately understanding why she was talking about moving out again.

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Xuan finally understood the meaning behind Han Jingting’s words.

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "Jingting, you’ve misunderstood, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted you to come over to look at something, please don’t get the wrong idea."

"Ah? Is that so..." Han Jingting was at a loss for words.

Had she thought too much?

Thinking about her excessive reaction just now, Han Jingting felt so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide.

"Then... then okay, I’ll come over later!"

Having said this in a hurry, Han Jingting quickly hung up the phone.

Only then did she realize that her cheeks were burning hot, and looking in the mirror, even her ears were reddened with embarrassment.

"Han Jingting, when will you ever keep your cool!"

Han Jingting then asked Xu Suzhen to take good care of the little rain, and she immediately drove straight to the Rose Hotel.

Meanwhile, at the Rose Bar.

Chen Xuan took a sip of alcohol, then directly called Loh Anni.

At that moment, in a room of the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel, Loh Anni was lying on a large bed watching TV, utterly bored.

After her last plan concerning Chen Xuan failed, she had been staying in this room all day.

Loh Anni couldn’t wait to capture Chen Xuan’s heart and become the respected Mrs. Chen of Huai City, living the true high society life.

Golden Finger Studio had already promised to help her with a second action plan, but days had passed with no news, which disappointed Loh Anni.

Just then, Loh Anni’s phone suddenly rang.

When she saw it was Chen Xuan’s name, she nearly jumped off the bed in excitement.

People from Golden Finger Studio had told her not to contact Chen Xuan these past few days, so she hadn’t called him.

Now, Chen Xuan was actually the one who called her, and this made Loh Anni sense an opportunity.

Despite her excitement, Loh Anni still composed herself to answer the call.

"Hello, Chen Xuan, is there something you need?"

There was a noisy background on the other end of the call, and it took quite a while for Chen Xuan’s muffled voice to come through.

"Huh? Does someone actually want to take my call? I thought everyone saw me as trash, just like Han Jingting does!"

Loh Anni’s eyes brightened.

Was Mr. Chen obviously drunk?

Could it be that the chance was coming to her on its own?
