From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 1227: An Yang and Jiaojiao (4)

It took An Yang a long time to come back to his senses.

After finally gathering his senses, An Yang got up to contact Jian Yiling.

This time, he indeed came to Beijing because of Jian Yiling.

He would not think about Hu Jiaojiao again. After all, it was useless to think about her.

###

As Hu Jiaojiao saw An Yang at Jian Yiling’s house yesterday, she didn’t sleep well all night.

When she woke up the next day, she had two dark circles under her eyes.

When her roommates saw this, they began teasing her. Did she suddenly want to become a panda overnight?

More than a year ago, when Hu Jiaojiao broke up with An Yang, she went through many sleepless nights. Every morning, there would be a haggard look on her face.

However, after two entire months, Hu Jiaojiao finally got over the breakup. She focused all her energy on studying.

As Hu Jiaojiao used her grief and anger as fuel for studying, she managed to get a first-class scholarship for two consecutive semesters.

As she thought about this, Hu Jiaojiao blamed herself for being weak. She already made up her mind to not think about An Yang. And yet, when she saw him yesterday, the rest of her day felt like a trance.

She was indeed very weak.

Hu Jiaojiao tried to convince herself to focus her attention on work instead.

As Hu Jiaojiao was in her third year of university, the summer holidays were meant for internships.

She managed to find an internship at a media company in Beijing. Her responsibilities involved writing press releases.

However, writing was especially difficult for her today. From time to time, An Yang would appear in her mind. Whenever she thought about him, all her thoughts would go into disarray.

Nothing went smoothly today.

After Hu Jiaojiao finished work, she headed over to the Jian Residence.

Internally, somewhere in her mind told her that Jian Yiling was her sole remaining connection with An Yang. And thus, she unknowingly appeared at the Jian Residence.

It just so happened that An Yang was also waiting in front of the Jian Residence.

Once again, the two of them stared at each other.

And yet, neither of them took the initiative to say anything.

Even though they were only ten meters apart from one another, it felt as though they were separated by a thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

Yet, not long ago, the relationship between them was so pure and simple.

It was a simple, “I like you.”

There were no benefits, interests, or family ties involved.

It was just a simple romantic relationship filled with laughter and the blessing of friends…

At this moment, a young man drove by in a sports car and stopped in front of Hu Jiaojiao.

The young man whistled at Hu Jiaojiao: “Little beauty, do you have a date tonight?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao collected her thoughts and turned her head to walk away.

However, this action piqued the young man’s interest. He slowly followed Hu Jiaojiao in his car and said: “Hey, don’t go. I will pay for the drinks tonight. Come and drink a few shots with me.”

“I don’t drink,” Hu Jiaojiao replied. She wanted to get rid of this man.

She knew that the type of people who whistled to young girls out of a luxury car was generally up to no good.

She didn’t want to get involved with such a man.

However, the young man liked a challenge. The more someone said no, the more interested he became.

The girl in front of him was not beautiful by any means. He just liked the feeling of being a predator that stalked prey.

The flirtatious young man held the steering wheel with one hand.

He reached out with his other hand to touch Hu Jiaojiao’s cheek.

An Yang was already burning with anger before the young man did this. When he saw the young man’s hand land on Hu Jiaojiao’s face, he could not hold back his anger anymore.

He clenched his fist and rushed towards the man.

As the man was flirting with Hu Jiaojiao, he was driving incredibly slowly.

As a result, An Yang easily dragged the man out of the driver’s seat.
