Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Misunderstanding?
Han Jiangxue thought that since Cheng Zheng had gone out alone and she hadn’t seen Mrs. Cheng, it was very likely that Mrs. Cheng was still in the hotel room.
Now if she went back to the room to stake out, she would definitely catch Mrs. Cheng.
The taxi returned to the hotel entrance. Han Jiangxue signed for the driver and paid the fare. She didn’t forget to remind, "Master, please keep this a secret, thank you."
The driver, looking at Han Jiangxue’s gentle and sweet smile, nodded happily, "Rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret."
Before Han Jiangxue had gotten out of the car, her door was opened by someone else, and two bodyguards in suits and shoes stood by the car, saying sternly, "Get out, Mrs. Cheng invites you."
Han Jiangxue’s face showed both surprise and confusion, and she asked uncertainly, "Mrs. Cheng?"
"Yes, Mrs. Cheng."
Han Jiangxue was taken aback, she was just thinking of finding Mrs. Cheng, but to her surprise, the other party had taken the initiative to find her.
But then she thought about it, how did Mrs. Cheng know about her?
Could it be that her tailing had been discovered?
Thinking this, Han Jiangxue started to feel nervous inside. After all, her plan was to accidentally meet Mrs. Cheng and become friends. Now, this had disrupted all her plans.
Han Jiangxue followed the bodyguards to a private room on the sixth floor of the hotel.
Upon entering, she saw that besides several black-clad bodyguards standing around, there were also two women in the room. However, Han Jiangxue was sure that the woman dressed in haute couture with a refined makeup was Mrs. Cheng.
The woman standing behind her, judging by her attire, must be an assistant or a maid.
The atmosphere in the room was full of pressure. Han Jiangxue silently took a deep breath and said with a slight smile, "Hello, Mrs. Cheng."
As soon as she spoke, Han Jiangxue felt her presence was much less imposing than that of Mrs. Cheng.
Though both were wives from wealthy families, Mrs. Cheng’s presence was much more imposing than hers, Mrs. Shen.
Su Xi did not speak. Her assistant flung all the photos on the table.
Then, Su Xi stared directly at Han Jiangxue, "Tell me, what is the situation?"
Su Xi looked at the woman in front of her with disdain. This woman had been having people follow her and Cheng Zheng since last night, had bribed the hotel reception, and opened a room next to theirs.
This morning she had taken the opportunity to come out of her room when Cheng Zheng left, aiming for a chance encounter.
Moreover, the bodyguard who followed Cheng Zheng out this morning reported back that this woman had been following Cheng Zheng to the riverside and had been hesitant to speak in the elevator.
Upon this thought, Su Xi lifted her head, her gaze coldly fixed on the woman standing dumbfounded in front of her.
Han Jiangxue was a little dazed. She looked at the photos on the coffee table: one showed a man talking to the hotel reception, the screen capturing some ambiguous interactions.
Then to her taking the elevator from the hotel garage in the morning, then entering her room, and afterwards coming out, then taking a taxi, following President Cheng to the riverside, and returning...
Han Jiangxue immediately realized, could Mrs. Cheng have mistaken her, thinking she was tailing them?
And, looking at one of the pictures, which must have been captured by the elevator surveillance, it was precisely when she was hesitating to greet Cheng Zheng that morning.
So, was it likely that Mrs. Cheng had mistaken her for one of those disreputable women out there?
Han Jiangxue tidied up the details in these photos and forced herself to remain calm, smiling slightly, "Hello, Mrs. Cheng, let me introduce myself. My name is Han Jiangxue, my husband is the president of Shen’s Electronics in Jiangcheng, Shen Zhaonan."
Han Jiangxue never expected that the hotel would have any connection to Cheng Zheng, which made Su Xi’s investigation quite easy.
She felt within that the person Tang Ying found was unreliable, as it didn’t take long for someone to track her down.
Yet, upon further thought, she found the situation to be rather favorable, as having Mrs. Cheng approach her was far better than trying to orchestrate another coincidental meeting.
After listening to Han Jiangxue, the coldness in Su Xi’s eyes dimmed somewhat.
In her mind, the name Han Jiangxue sounded familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Su Xi’s gaze drifted meaningfully towards her assistant, who immediately understood and picked up the tablet to start a search for "Han Jiangxue."
After all, before Han Jiangxue introduced herself, the information they had about the person who checked into the hotel was a woman named Tang Ying.
When it came to Shen’s Electronics, Su Xi was naturally well-acquainted.
Looking across the country, Su’s Electronics ranked among the top, and the only one that might just reach the level of Su’s Electronics was Shen’s Electronics in Jiangcheng.
She asked Han Jiangxue, "Do you need something?"
Originally, Su Xi wanted to ask Han Jiangxue why she was so intent on tracking them, what did she want?
But since Han Jiangxue was Shen Zhaonan’s wife, it was highly unlikely that she would have any connection with Cheng Zheng.
Being intelligent, she understood that she had misunderstood Han Jiangxue and assumed Han Jiangxue was also aware of that, hence why she had emphasized her husband’s identity when introducing herself earlier.
Now that she knew the other’s identity, there was no need to speak so bluntly.
However, figuring that Han Jiangxue was so calculative in following them, Su Xi guessed the general reason within her heart.
It surely had something to do with Huanya’s recent project in Ancheng.
Han Jiangxue’s face always carried an appropriately light smile, and she said in an unhurried tone, "Mrs. Cheng, I heard from my husband last night that you and President Cheng had arrived in Jiangcheng, and I have been looking for an opportunity to meet you. That’s why I had my assistant arrange for the room next to yours.
Unexpectedly, this morning, when I left my room, I ran into President Cheng and thought that I recognized President Cheng, but he certainly wouldn’t recognize me. So I followed to see if President Cheng was going to look for you, hence the mix-up this morning."
After listening to Han Jiangxue, the corners of Su Xi’s lips curved up in an ambiguous, shallow smile, "Please don’t stand while talking, Mrs. Shen, have a seat."
Regarding Han Jiangxue’s words, Su Xi was skeptical; after all, the photos did seem to confirm what Han Jiangxue had said.
But to claim that Han Jiangxue had gone through all this effort just to meet her, that was something no one would believe.
Han Jiangxue was somewhat flattered, even thinking that Mrs. Cheng was quite easy to get along with. She sat on the sofa opposite Su Xi and said with a smile, "I wonder if Mrs. Cheng could grant me the opportunity to invite you to lunch?"
While the two were talking, the assistant standing beside Su Xi had already found the information on Han Jiangxue and handed the tablet to Su Xi.
Su Xi now realized that the person who checked into the hotel room was Tang Ying, Han Jiangxue’s agent.
And the reason why the name Han Jiangxue seemed familiar to her was because a few days ago, when she checked Weibo because of Ye Zhenzhen’s incident, she found out that Han Jiangxue was the celebrity who joined the variety show with Ye Zhenzhen, right?
It seemed the comments online were comparing Ye Zhenzhen with Han Jiangxue, even suggesting that Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue were at odds...
