289 Interest Piqued
He thought that Su Meng would treat him better for the sake of money, but he realized that he had been overthinking.

Ha, interesting. It seemed that he had chosen the right person. It would be interesting to conquer Su Meng.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen’s mouth curved into a smile. He decided to cast a long line to catch the big fish. He couldn’t rush it, or it would be bad if Su Meng was wary of him.
“Sure, Miss Su. I’ll wait for you to have time to ask you out again. You don’t have to worry about the remuneration. I don’t have anything else to say, so you can continue with your work.” Xiao Chen, who had been trying to stop Su Meng from leaving, finally decided to let her go. Xiao Chen turned to the side and made way for Su Meng.
What Su Meng didn’t notice was that Xiao Chen’s feet moved a few times when they were talking.
!!
“I hope we can work well together in the future,” Su Meng said and started walking away.
But she was too focused on talking to Xiao Chen to pay attention to her feet. She didn’t know what she stepped on, but she slipped and lost her balance, falling forward.
Su Meng could not move at all and everything happened so suddenly. She could not keep her balance and fell to the ground. Before she fell, she cried out in her heart that this was bad. The wounds on her body were likely to open again.
Su Meng closed her eyes instinctively, but the fall she expected did not happen.
The moment she fell, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a thin embrace.
As soon as Su Meng opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Chen’s smiling face. When he saw Su Meng looking at him, Xiao Chen even shook his head and tried to look cool.
Su Meng: Hehe.
She might as well have just fallen.
“Miss Su, you have to be careful. It’s not good if you hurt yourself,” Xiao Chen reminded her softly. Su Meng had already stood firm, but he still did not let go of her.
“Thank you,” she said. Su Meng struggled a little and wanted to step back, but Xiao Chen didn’t plan on letting her go. His hand was still holding her shoulder tightly.
“Mr. Xiao, shouldn’t you let go?” Su Meng reminded him and reached out to grab Xiao Chen’s hand on her shoulder, trying to take it away.
“Miss Su, don’t worry. You don’t seem to be feeling well. Are you injured?” Xiao Chen noticed something was wrong with Su Meng.
He felt something on Su Meng’s shoulder and connected it to her pale face. He immediately guessed that she was injured.
“You can’t move around when you’re injured. Be careful not to tear the wound open again. If Miss Su doesn’t mind, why don’t you take my car and I’ll send you to the hospital?” Xiao Chen still didn’t let go.
“Release her!”
At this moment, Wei Ting suddenly appeared out of nowhere and walked quickly to the two of them. He grabbed Xiao Chen’s hand and threw him out. Then, he pulled Su Meng into his arms.
“Are you alright?” Wei Ting lowered his head and asked Su Meng, who was in his arms.
Su Meng shook her head to show that she was fine. However, her face was pale and she didn’t look like she was in a good state.
Seeing this, Wei Ting thought Xiao Chen had done something to Su Meng. His eyes narrowed dangerously. He hugged Su Meng with one hand and wanted to beat Xiao Chen with the other, but he was stopped by Su Meng as soon as he lifted his hand.
Su Meng knew what Wei Ting wanted to do and explained, “I’m fine. I just accidentally tore my wound and it hurts a little.”
Xiao Chen also saw that Wei Ting had the intention to fight, so he explained, “Young Master Wei, don’t misunderstand. Just now, Miss Su lost her balance and fell. I just helped her up. I’m here to discuss business with Miss Su Meng.”
“Then, Miss Su, since Young Master Wei is here, I don’t think you need my help. This is my business card. You can contact me at any time if you need anything in the future. I’ll be leaving first. See you later.”
Xiao Chen wasn’t afraid of death at all. Wei Ting was right in front of him, but he still handed his business card to Su Meng.
Seeing Wei Ting’s face getting darker and darker, he handed his business card to Su Meng, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.
He thought that no matter how much Wei Ting disliked Su Meng, he couldn’t do anything to Su Meng in front of him. After all, they were husband and wife in name, so they still had to put up a front.
As for Su Meng, Xiao Chen smiled confidently. Anyway, Wei Xue said that Su Meng would divorce Wei Ting soon. It wouldn’t be too late for him to make a move then.
