Chapter 361 - 351: On the Road
Three days later, Wang Miaomiao left with the large group on a sunny morning.
Standing by the roadside, Jiang Yan watched the car drive away. Wang Miaomiao stuck her little head out of the car window and waved goodbye to him energetically, a smile on her face that couldn’t be concealed. Clearly, she was very happy...
Jiang Yan smiled helplessly and mumbled, "Little heartless one."
It wasn’t until the car turned the corner, disappearing from view, that Jiang Yan turned and left.
Fan Zhong was the leader of this activity. Having turned fifty, his career was flourishing. He was known for being humorous and not rigid,
Wang Miaomiao was already quite famous in this political circle, whether due to her own abilities or her connection with Jiang Yan. People who knew her or some who didn’t had heard of her name and naturally showed her some respect.
But, there were some naïve newcomers who didn’t understand the world and couldn’t see what’s going on.
"Hehe, Sister Wang is forty, huh? She still knows how to have fun..." A young girl giggled with a fake laugh, her eyes filled with disdain. What she said was seemingly ordinary, but here, echoing Fan Zhong’s words, it sounded sarcastic.
What does she mean? The implication was that Wang Miaomiao was old but still acting young, wasn’t it?
The car fell into a momentary silence.
Everyone in the car was highly intelligent and capable, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been selected for this activity.
Still, nobody knew why this kind of creature was mixed in.
Wang Miaomiao withdrew the smile from her face, returned to her seat, and nonchalantly took out her small blanket from her bag, adjusted her position underneath, and laughed mockingly, "Mr. Fan, did you bring a dog for this trip? You better keep it in check, so it doesn’t disturb everyone’s rest by barking."
"What did you say? Calling you Sister Wang, you really think you’re..."
"Enough, Xiao Song. If you don’t want to go to Sea City, you can get off now, the car hasn’t been driving for more than a few minutes." Fan Zhong looked coldly at Song Can, feeling his previous fondness for this sweet-talking, now malicious, young girl vanish, "Otherwise, just shut up!"
Xiao Song had been in the department for just half a year. Usually, she was sweet-talking, very adept at socializing, and even had some background influence, which was why she was selected this time. Now it seemed like he made the wrong choice.
Fan Zhong thought about it and couldn’t help but frown with annoyance, but midtrip kicking her out wouldn’t be humane, after all, she was still a young girl.
Fortunately, Song Can was tolerant and adaptable; though she was unhappy, she didn’t provoke Fan Zhong any further, instead gave Wang Miaomiao a fierce look.
But staring was in vain, as no one paid her any mind. Wang Miaomiao was already snuggled under her blanket with her eyes closed, comfortably sleeping.
After all, she was very tired and needed rest.
In the past few days, her man had exhausted her immensely, knowing she would be away for a month, he had to utilize all the affection meant for that month, afraid it would expire...
Her deliberately exuberant smile earlier was partly genuine happiness and partly meant to irritate that unbridled fellow.
As the car swung gently, Wang Miaomiao soon fell asleep, perhaps too tired, even snored lightly.
The others in the car noticed and naturally quieted down, some started reading, others closed their eyes to meditate.
Song Can looked in Wang Miaomiao’s direction, rolling her eyes disdainfully, wanting to say something but glanced at Mr. Fan’s direction, pursed her lips, and didn’t speak, poutingly found herself a piece of clothing to cover up and closed her eyes to sleep.
There’s no love or hate without cause in this world.
Song Can’s animosity towards Wang Miaomiao naturally had its reasons.
Song Can graduated from Qing University, which was as reputable as Hejing University; her family background was also politically inclined, her grandpa was of the same generation as Jiang Zhongyi.
She was the only girl of her generation in the Song Family, so she was quite spoiled at home.
Half a year ago, she graduated from Qing University, and Grandpa Song, wanting to celebrate her graduation, organized a banquet to celebrate, inviting friends and family, also to introduce Song Can.
The implication was that the Song Family had a grown daughter, you could come and connect for potential matchmaking.
Naturally, Jiang Zhongyi attended that day, and Jiang Yan came to pick him up.
Then, during that encounter, this girl unbelievably developed an obsession with Jiang Yan.
Hehe, this love truly came out of nowhere. The girl had seen Jiang Yan when she was little, but after the Jiang Family moved out of the compound, she hadn’t seen him since.
It’s because Jiang Yan, despite reaching middle age, still possessed great charm, lacking the greasiness and overweight one would expect from a forty-year-old man.
If someone claimed he was just over thirty, no one would doubt it.
A man at thirty-one is irresistible, causing young girls’ hearts to flutter.
Song Can silently fell for Jiang Yan; upon learning his true situation, she cried in sorrow.
This love ended before it even began.
When I was born, you were not yet born; now that I’ve grown, you are already old.
Sigh...
It’s not that Song Can had any bad intentions, but the young lady harbored unresolved feelings, simply unwilling to let go.
After graduation, through her grandfather’s connections, she began working at the government building, able to be closer to her idol; she felt somewhat comforted.
After learning about Wang Miaomiao’s circumstances, she secretly attended her lectures at Jing University, which sparked some inexplicable anger in her.
Was it envy? Or was it jealousy?
Especially today, seeing her idol reluctantly bidding farewell to a woman, she got envious.
Momentarily overwhelmed by jealousy, unable to control her temper, she blurted out, forgetting her carefully maintained good image.
Once she calmed down, she regretted her actions, realizing her impulsiveness.
Wanting to make amends, she glanced silently at Wang Miaomiao and Fan Zhong, noticing they were resting silently, she felt a bit lucky, believing they hadn’t taken it to heart, after all, she hadn’t said anything excessive, right?
The car drove steadily, with fixed rest stops, so passengers weren’t rushed and were concerned for their physical well-being.
Thus, driving leisurely towards Sea City, stopping occasionally.
Wang Miaomiao felt mildly car sick, she mostly slept on the car.
Song Can looked at her several times, but she pretended to be oblivious. Toward people unfriendly to her, she wouldn’t pamper them, nor would she bother spending effort on them; not to mention, she was truly car sick and lacked the energy to deal with her.
This behavior from Wang Miaomiao left Song Can feeling conflicted; wanting to chat with her, but seeing her state, losing interest.
The young girl had grown up spoiled, never subjected to such indignation.
To assert her presence, she would occasionally hum in Wang Miaomiao’s direction, whatever it meant...
Wang Miaomiao could only sigh inwardly: Immature!
