Chapter 871: Zhang Jiasen

After a long bumpy trip, Ning Shu finally reached the bus stop. As she was hauling her luggage off the bus, a man walked over to take the suitcase from her hand.
Ning Shu looked at the man. He was wearing a black woolen cloak with a gray scarf that fell to his knees which made his figure seem even more tall and pin straight.
When Ning Shu saw this man, a surge of emotions that was hard to describe flooded up in her heart. There was pain, hate, disappointment, and frustration.
His looks were fair and attractive, and he looked like a young talent. This was Zhang Jiasen.
Zhang Jiasen’s looks were really quite good. If they weren’t though, they wouldn’t have captivated Miao Miaomiao so much. As he leaned down to take the suitcase, a fresh and clean smell wafted over from his body.
This was a clean man, but his thoughts were unfathomable.
Ning Shu pulled out a smile. “You came to get me.”
Zhang Jiasen’s gaze swept across Ning Shu’s face, then he frowned slightly. His tone contained an almost undetectable trace of rebuke. “Why did you suddenly leave the house? Everyone was looking for you and in the end it was my younger sister that called me. I predicted that you came back so I came here first to get you.”
Ning Shu smiled again as she said, “Didn’t I leave a note?”
“Mom and Dad can’t read, so they wouldn’t be able to understand your note. How can you be so willful? Like a little kid.” Zhang Jiasen seemed to be speaking dotingly, but he was actually rebuking Ning Shu for being willful.
Ning Shu fixed her hair that was slightly messy from the wind and replied mildly, “The elders can’t read, but the little sister can. If it comes to it, there’s also the little brother-in-law. Those two can read.”
Zhang Jiasen narrowed his eyes slightly as he placed the suitcase in the trunk of the car.
Ning Shu sat in the front passenger seat. As Zhang Jiasen drove, he glanced over at Ning Shu from time to time.
Ning Shu paid no attention to Zhang Jiasen’s gaze and just looked outside the car while considering things. She knew from the first moment she saw Zhang Jiasen that he was going to be hard to deal with.
It was no wonder he had ended up getting to the summit of life in the end.
Miao Miaomiao was just a stepping stone for him. He was a man that was ruthless towards himself and others.
Ning Shu inwardly gave a cold laugh.
“Are you not feeling well?” When Zhang Jiasen saw that Ning Shu wasn’t speaking, he frowned slightly as he asked, “Where do you not feel well?”
Zhang Jiasen was truly particularly charming when his brows were slightly furrowed. That paired with his low voice made it very easy for people to fall for his charm.
“I’m fine, I just didn’t really eat anything during breakfast so I’m hungry,” replied Ning Shu.
Zhang Jiasen’s expression stiffened for a brief instant, but it soon went back to normal and he said, “The things in the countryside aren’t as refined as in the city. You definitely weren’t used to them.”
Ning Shu nodded. “Yeah, I was constipated the whole time.”
Zhang Jiasen: …
The atmosphere instantly fell silent. Ning Shu leaned her head against the seat and closed her eyes. “Head to my family’s first. I’m going to nap for a while.”
Zhang Jiasen’s expression was unreadable as he pressed harder on the gas pedal.
After they got home, Zhang Jiasen stopped the car and turned around to help undo Ning Shu’s seat belt. When Ning Shu opened her eyes, she saw that Zhang Jiasen was leaning over her and immediately pushed him. “What are you doing?”
A helpless expression appeared on Zhang Jiasen’s face. “We’re home. I helped unbuckle your seat belt.”
Ning Shu nodded, then pushed open the door and got off the car to walk into the one family courtyard.
Zhang Jiasen caught up with Ning Shu and reached out to take her hand, but Ning Shu reflexively shook it off.
Zhang Jiasen didn’t get angry and just furrowed his brows tightly as he looked at Ning Shu. He said in a tone of certainty, “You’re angry.”
“I’m not.” Ning Shu smiled like the original host. “How could I possibly be angry with you?”
