Sunny Day Who Can't Sing

Chapter 509 Settling for Second Best

Regardless of whether Yun Jin was in Shen Mengqing's car or not, I had to tail the other party closely!

On the way, my mind was constantly churning, thinking about what to say after reconnecting with Yun Jin.

About half an hour later.

Unknowingly, Han Jinlun drove the car, following Shen Mengqing's Porsche back to her residence.

When I saw Shen Mengqing get out of the car alone and walk directly towards our car…

I knew the tailing had failed!

Upon seeing me, Shen Mengqing was first slightly stunned, then her expression instantly turned cold.

Standing outside the window, Shen Mengqing looked at me solemnly and asked, "What are you trying to do by sneakily following my car?"

Hearing this, I was immediately speechless.

Fortunately, Han Jinlun, who was eloquent, playfully said to Shen Mengqing, "What else can a man do when he follows a woman?"

"It's just that our Brother Xiang misses you!"

After the events of the night before, Shen Mengqing naturally didn't take Han Jinlun's words seriously. She directly said with a cold face, "If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have something to fart, fart it out!"

I knew very well that what happened the night before was somewhat akin to that joke that all men understand, about being "worse than a beast."

In such an ambiguous and unbearable environment, a man choosing to restrain his inner desires was actually the greatest insult to a woman.

Especially when that woman was flawless in appearance, figure, and everything else.

Therefore, I understood the hostility hidden behind Shen Mengqing's current coldness towards me.

Although I also really didn't want to face her, thinking that I could track Yun Jin's whereabouts through her, I could only brace myself and reply, "Is it convenient to come in and talk?"

Hearing my words, Shen Mengqing, without giving any response, turned and walked away.

I originally thought this was Shen Mengqing's silent refusal, until I saw that after she opened the door and entered the house, she didn't close it behind her…

Only then did I belatedly realize that she had tacitly agreed to my request.

With this thought, fearing that Shen Mengqing might suddenly change her mind, I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I directly opened the car door, got out, and followed her in.

………………

After entering the house, I subconsciously glanced at Shen Mengqing first.

Seeing that she didn't seem to intend to speak, to avoid falling into an awkward silence, I chose to break the silence first and said politely, "I'm sorry! I've disturbed your rest."

It was better not to say this sentence. As soon as I said it… Shen Mengqing's expression immediately changed.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she replied, "Since you know you've disturbed my rest, then get to the point quickly!"

"…………"

Stunned by Shen Mengqing's words, I immediately didn't know how to continue.

Because judging by her attitude, she was clearly still bothered by what happened the night before.

Under such circumstances, even if she could answer my questions, it would be impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Seeing me frozen in place, Shen Mengqing glanced at her watch and said coldly, "It's 7:47 now. I'll give you three minutes."

"Say what you want to say quickly and concisely! Once you're done, you can leave!"

"I hate it the most when I'm about to rest and suddenly get disturbed!"

They say even a clay figurine has three parts of fire, but I never expected Shen Mengqing to become so unreasonable because of what happened the night before.

It was as if I owed her something, and she was constantly giving me a cold shoulder from beginning to end.

No more rotten eggs, so no more baked goods?

This young master isn't serving anymore! !!

After Shen Mengqing gave the three-minute deadline, I didn't say a word and turned directly towards the door.

Shen Mengqing, seemingly not expecting me to leave in anger, immediately panicked and called out, "Wait a minute!"

"What?" I asked coldly without looking back.

Seeing this, Shen Mengqing immediately retorted, "What do you think this place is? Come and go as you please?"

"Do you think that since you've obtained the Qian Wang Ling, I have no more value to you?"

Hearing this, I directly turned to look at Shen Mengqing, who had an angry expression, and slowly replied, "I haven't obtained the Qian Wang Ling!"

"I came to find you today to get Yun Jin's specific whereabouts from you, and then try to have a face-to-face conversation with her."

Hearing my words, Shen Mengqing was immediately stunned, with an expression of disbelief.

"You, you didn't get the Qian Wang Ling? How is that possible!?"

Seeing Shen Mengqing's disbelief, I took out the fake Qian Wang Ling from my pocket and handed it to her, and also mentioned what happened last night…

I don't know how long it took.

"Aunt Jin hasn't been to the gambling ship these past two days!"

As soon as Shen Mengqing spoke, she gave me the answer I was most eager to know.

But unfortunately, this answer was not the one I wanted.

Seeing my apparent dejection and annoyance, Shen Mengqing, who had regained her composure, immediately said, "Don't rush!"

"If you want to see Aunt Jin alone, I can create an opportunity for you, but…"

"From what I know of Aunt Jin, you won't be able to persuade her to change her impression of you, nor will you be able to persuade her to give up cooperating with Yu Shuang!"

"I know!"

After nodding slightly, I frowned and replied, "But I have no other choice!"

"I don't expect to change Yun Jin's opinion of me. The purpose of looking for her this time is only to expose Yu Shuang to her!"

"No matter what secret agreement they had before, as long as Yun Jin becomes suspicious of Yu Shuang, she won't easily let go of the Qian Wang Ling!"

After failing last night, I had realized that being too eager for success often backfires.

This point is similar to the Buddhist theory of "seeking in vain and not obtaining."

So, learning from my mistakes.

I decided to settle for the next best thing, aiming to prevent Yu Shuang from obtaining the Qian Wang Ling.

Whether the seed of doubt, once planted, will blossom and bear fruit is uncertain, but it will definitely take root and sprout!

………………

After Shen Mengqing promised to find an excuse to call Yun Jin onto the ship during the gambling ship's operation tonight and create an opportunity for me…

The purpose of my visit was finally achieved.

Just as I finished thanking her and was about to leave…

I saw Shen Mengqing suddenly step forward and slowly walk towards me.

Then, she extended her slender, fair hands to fasten the two buttons of her shirt that I had undone.

While doing the buttoning, a faint blush appeared on Shen Mengqing's cheeks.

After fastening the buttons, Shen Mengqing lowered her head slightly and asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, "The night before last, why did you… leave?"
