Chapter 235: Drunk and Embarrassed! (Part 5)
Yang Yixiang’s face was no longer filled with anger; instead, he looked utterly panic-stricken.
His whole body took a step back, his face alternating between red and white.
Tang Yanqi looked at her phone soaking in the toilet; the phone was definitely ruined. She felt a bit heartbroken; she was already broke recently, so this is really like misfortunes never come singly.
But she didn’t forget the predicament she was in and, not giving Yang Yixiang any chance to react, Tang Yanqi had already dashed out the door.
Someone like Yang Yixiang who appears so polished and radiant, Tang Yanqi was sure that as long as he was in public, he would not dare to act recklessly. People need face, trees need bark.
On the other side, Sheng Jianan called Tang Yanqi intending to ask where she was so he could go pick her up, but unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, he heard that woman’s scream.
Tang Yanqi was always calm, situations like this where she shouted loudly could be counted on one hand. Sheng Jianan’s entire body suddenly tensed, his handsome brows furrowed instantly.
In fact, he only heard two words: Sheng Jia...
After that, it was a segment of static noise, followed by complete silence.
After a two-second pause, Sheng Jianan quickly dialed a number: "Get me Young Madam’s location, right now, immediately!"
Knowing that the person on the other end might be in trouble yet being unaware of exactly what had happened is the most terrifying scenario.
As the car drove for a while, Sheng Jianan spoke in a deep voice: "Pull over, stop the car."
The driver, baffled, saw himself being kicked out after parking, watched the car speed away, and with a face full of dismay, scratched his head. So the big boss dislikes that he was driving too slow?
After what happened, Tang Yanqi didn’t want to stay here any longer. She came out of the bathroom, greeted the hostess, went to the kitchen to help finish the remaining prep work, then changed clothes and left.
Without a phone, Tang Yanqi didn’t even know the time. Thankfully, she was familiar with Sheng Jianan’s phone number by heart and thought of finding a public phone to call him.
She had only taken a few steps out of the western restaurant door when a black car screeched to a halt right in front of her. The driver’s side door opened, and Sheng Jianan’s tall figure emerged from inside. His face was tense, and he walked up to Tang Yanqi in just a couple of steps, gripping her shoulders with both hands: "Are you okay?"
She didn’t know if it was a misconception, but Tang Yanqi heard tension in his voice. Had her scream been heard by him on the other end of the call?
Tang Yanqi shook her head: "I’m fine."
Sheng Jianan’s dark eyes were tightly locked onto her, inspecting Tang Yanqi from head to toe multiple times. Only after finding no obvious injuries did Sheng Jianan finally breathe a sigh of relief, his deep gaze directed towards the western restaurant behind Tang Yanqi. He wasn’t clueless; something must have happened.
Tang Yanqi felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny, she reached out to tug Sheng Jianan’s sleeve: "Can I leave early? Are we leaving or not?"
Sheng Jianan turned back to hold her hand, leading her towards the car. As the car drove for a bit, he turned: "Your phone, is it off?"
"Yes, it was thrown into the toilet by a mad dog."
"A mad dog?"
"Yes, a mad dog, a mad dog that bites people randomly."
Sheng Jianan was puzzled, but there was a hint of hidden amusement in Tang Yanqi’s eyes. Sheng Jianan paused for a moment and smiled too. Mad dog? This woman was really so straightforward in dissing others.
