Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Visitors from the United States

Xu Ke came to this abandoned parking lot. He realized these people had crossed his limits—they were crazy, and without needing any punishment, they could destroy themselves. The abandoned parking lot had now become a massive coliseum, where only the strongest animals could survive till the end, but the final survivor might not live long.

Leaving people behind, Xu Ke drove to the hospital to be with his girlfriend. Meanwhile, at the airport, all airport staff stood alert, looking up at the sky as if waiting for something. Soon, a small helicopter appeared in the sky and landed at Shangjing’s airport.

A woman dressed in luxurious brands, exuding infinite allure, stepped off the plane.

Sheng Hong, who had received the news early, immediately approached obsequiously, "Miss Xu, I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you, to refresh you from your journey. Please grace us with your presence." Sheng Hong said earnestly.

"No need. I’m exhausted from the long journey. I don’t have the energy to eat your lousy meal. Is my hotel room booked?" Xu Jiahui didn’t even glance at Sheng Hong’s changing expression. Or perhaps she saw it and didn’t care, regarding Sheng Hong as insignificant, not worth a second look.

Sheng Hong was annoyed by Xu Jiahui’s attitude, but due to her influential backing, he could only endure it quietly, as he was no match for her.

"Everything is prepared, please rest assured." Sheng Hong maintained a sycophantic and eager smile.

"Leave the car here and let my bodyguard take me. You can get lost." Xu Jiahui said coldly as she got into the car, directing her words to Sheng Hong, who wanted to get in. Her sly and mocking look from behind her sunglasses barely concealed her disdain, almost openly saying he was nothing, undeserving of sharing a ride with her.

Even without saying it outright, her meaning was clear. Sheng Hong’s face twitched involuntarily, as if stripped of all dignity, trampled underfoot. Having roamed freely in Shangjing for years, everyone he met respectfully called him Mr. Sheng. Now, being coldly mocked by a young girl made him question his decisions for the first time.

"Why are you still standing there? Don’t you understand human language?" Seeing Sheng Wenhao still standing motionlessly, Xu Jiahui’s face darkened, and her tone became harsher.

"I got distracted for a moment, got distracted." Sheng Hong reflexively wore a smile and apologized, glancing at his driver, taking the key from him, and handing it to Xu Jiahui’s bodyguard, "Please have an early rest at the hotel, and if you need anything, feel free to call me anytime. My phone is on 24/7."

"Got it, let’s go." Xu Jiahui slammed the car door shut in Sheng Hong’s face and drove away, leaving his sight.

"Damn it, just a snot-nosed brat putting on airs in front of me. If I didn’t need to rely on your family background, I wouldn’t give you the time of day!" Sheng Hong cursed coldly in the direction Xu Jiahui disappeared.

After cursing a few more times, he finally felt relieved. But soon, he remembered something, turned to his driver, who got off the car with him, and asked coldly, "What did you see?"

"I didn’t see anything." The driver quickly lowered his head in respect, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead under his bangs.

Sheng Hong’s glance made him feel immediately as if he was being stared at by a beast.

On one side, Sheng Hong called for a car from home, while Xu Jiahui wasted no time at the hotel and immediately instructed her bodyguards to gather information about Xu Ke.

Although Sheng Hong had briefed her before she came, being a suspicious person, she couldn’t easily trust Sheng Hong’s words.

By the time the bodyguards delivered the information about Xu Ke, she had already been in Shangjing for three days.

Glancing at the thin stack of papers in her hand, Xu Jiahui’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile. "He’s nothing compared to his father. Why call me for help with someone like this? It seems the old man of the Sheng Family really isn’t using his head properly. Perhaps the Sheng Family shouldn’t be kept around." Xu Jiahui muttered to herself.

Caring less and less as she flipped through the pages, the bodyguards around her kept their heads down, afraid to look at her expression.

"No need to keep looking. It’s late. Accompany me to bed." Xu Jiahui stood from the couch, using a finger with scarlet-painted nails to lift the chin of the bodyguard on her right, speaking flippantly, "Carry me to bed."

The two were so close their noses nearly touched. Xu Jiahui could hear the man’s breath quicken after she spoke, her smile widening, with amusement sparkling in her eyes.

The man lifted Xu Jiahui in a textbook princess carry and walked toward the large bed in the center of the room.

Xu Jiahui peeked her head over the man’s shoulder, flirtatiously saying to the other bodyguard still standing there, "You come too."

As soon as Xu Jiahui said this, a smile crept onto the man’s face as he strode over towards them.

An enchanting night was nothing more.

The next morning, Xu Jiahui lazily opened her eyes, sitting up as the pure white duvet slid off, revealing a bruised white body. "Lighter next time, don’t leave me covered in marks. It makes wearing clothes difficult." Xu Jiahui took a glass of water from the bronze-skinned bodyguard, pouting with a hint of flirtation in her eyes.

"Yes." The bronze-skinned bodyguard swallowed and replied.

The slightly fairer bodyguard dressed Xu Jiahui.

"Let’s go meet Xu Ke." Adjusting her hair in front of the mirror with flair, Xu Jiahui said, her voice tinged with iciness.

In the mall, Xu Ke protected Lin Mengyao as if she were a fragile ragdoll, his eyes filled with seriousness and concern, leaving Lin Mengyao feeling both warmly touched and helplessly amused.

"You don’t have to be like this. It’s just a mild concussion, and the doctor said I’m fine, no need to be so anxious." Lin Mengyao laughed, patting Xu Ke’s hand, which stayed protectively by her side.

"And besides, this is a big mall. Who would do anything to me here?" Seeing Xu Ke still unwilling to let down his guard, Lin Mengyao whispered.

"I don’t know, I just feel like bringing you along like this today." Xu Ke said somewhat defensively. For some reason, he had a bad feeling today and refused to let go.

"Since when did you learn to be so stubborn?" Lin Mengyao had never seen this side of Xu Ke before, and the surprise in her eyes was plain to see.
