When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 535: Reunion with Lu Qilin (Part 5)

The next second, Sheng Jianan had already grabbed the car keys on the table and was heading out. Those insignificant details that he had once ignored now resurfaced in his mind. Why hadn’t she shown up since grandpa passed away? Even if she felt guilty, she wouldn’t have stayed away for so long; that wasn’t like her.

Wait a minute, that’s not right!

She did show up, although only for a brief moment, but Sheng Jianan remembers clearly. It was during grandpa’s cremation, and it was the only time he cried out loud in her arms.

But why hadn’t she said a word, and when he came to his senses, she had disappeared.

So, at that time, it wasn’t just him who was sad.

Sheng Jianan went down from the top floor to the parking lot and called Tang Yanqi, but no one answered. Sheng Jiayu said she saw her when Tang Yanqi had already left the cemetery. Now, where would she go?

Back to the apartment? Or to find her friends?

Sheng Jianan called twice more, still no answer, so he simply started the car and headed to the apartment.

All the way, Sheng Jianan’s mind was filled with what he had just heard from Sheng Jiayu and his own speculations. He was so distracted that he didn’t even notice the traffic light changed and accelerated through it.

A car came from the perpendicular direction, but fortunately, the person reacted quickly and turned the wheel just in time, avoiding a direct collision between the two cars, resulting only in a scrape.

The person from the other car got out, and Sheng Jianan immediately calmed down. Damn it, how long has it been since he was this careless?

The traffic police officer walked over and knocked on his window, "Sir, please step out of the vehicle."

Sheng Jianan opened the door and paused when he saw who was in the other car. The person across from him was also momentarily stunned.

Sheng Jianan didn’t reveal his identity, nor did he have someone handle the situation. The traffic officer followed the procedure, taking photos, asking questions, and issuing a ticket. Seeing that neither party was going to argue, the officer breathed a sigh of relief, quickly resolving the issue so traffic could resume promptly.

Lu Qilin and Sheng Jianan silently stared at each other for a few seconds before Lu Qilin finally spoke, "Mr. Sheng, what a coincidence."

There was no pleasant expression on Sheng Jianan’s face. Could he have a pleasant expression?

If it weren’t for him, would he have gone to the United States on a business trip in a huff? Would he have missed seeing grandpa for the last time?

Though it couldn’t all be blamed on him, Young Master Sheng still felt displeased. With a cold snort, he saw that the officer had finished handling the situation, and spoke sarcastically, "I’ll have someone take care of the follow-up."

With that, he didn’t spare Lu Qilin another glance, got into his car, and prepared to leave.

Started the car once, twice... couldn’t get it to start!

Sheng Jianan frowned, got out again to check it out, seemed like something was wrong.

"Sir, is there still a problem?"

Making a fool of himself in front of his rival, this was a first for Sheng Jianan, his face growing darker, emitting a chilling aura even in the bright afternoon sunlight.

Lu Qilin seemed to sense something, having almost gotten back into his car, he returned.

Sheng Jianan called someone to come handle it and walked off to the side, Lu Qilin called after him, "Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Jianan stopped, and Lu Qilin came over, said something in his ear, causing Sheng Jianan’s brows to knit tightly, his thin lips pressing slightly together. He turned and got into Lu Qilin’s car.

The traffic jam at the intersection cleared up soon, and Lu Qilin and Sheng Jianan parked not far away in front of a cafe directly across the street.
