Black Lotus - Chap 94
Shen Luoan briefly cleaned the stains up by the sink, fortunately, the wine stains weren’t that visible, so he took out a handkerchief to dry his hands.

“Hello, is it Mrs. Gu?”
An unfamiliar voice suddenly could be listened behind him, Shen Luoan turned around, looking at him suspiciously, the person who was talking was a person dressed in a purple suit staring at him with a smile.
“Huh? Is there anything wrong?”
“Mr. Gu asked me to come for you, and said that there was something urgent he needed to tell you.”
“Come for me? Wasn’t he going to explain the project to Mr. Jiang? Why did he suddenly show up asking me to go over?”
The smile on the man’s face deepened, he respectfully said: “I don’t know that, but Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the backyard, he told me that there was a gift for you, he wanted to give it to you as fast as possible.”
“Oh, so lead the way,” he said, while his eyes lit up.

An alone Wen Niannan sat on the ground in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, he held his legs, pale, looking at the lights downstairs, vaguely hearing the sound of the voice, it was dark outside, Wen Niannan wanted to take his cellphone to see the time, so he touched his pocket, remembering that the phone had been broken.
Gently shaking the glass in his hand, staring at the bright red blood-like color, involuntarily raising the glass to his mouth, but suddenly the wine glass in his hand was taken away.
Zhou Yuanfeng took a glass of juice, handing it to him instead, he frowned: “Niannan, did you forget you can’t drink?”
“If everyone can drink it, why can’t I drink it? Ah, my body was so weak that I might die that day…”
“What are you talking about?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
Zhou Yuanfeng sighed softly when he saw him, knowing that although Wen Niannan said that he didn’t care about Gu Yansheng, in the deep of his heart it wasn’t like that, otherwise, why he would be so desperate for the future seeing Shen Luoan.
Zhou Yuanfeng, the vice-president of the Gu Group’s project, would obligatorily have to go there, but he was afraid that leaving Wen Niannan alone would cause trouble.

The lights on the second floor were very dull, Zhou Yuanfeng feared that he would be emotionally unstable at that moment, he susurrated: “Niannan, let me take you down, it’s too dark here, take you down. It’s too dark here, downstairs is brighter, okay?”
“Okay.”
Wen Niannan followed Zhou Yuanfeng down the stairs, passing the crowd, and suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.
“Mr. Wen.”
Wen Niannan stopped and turned to look over, Tang Lunxuan approached from the corner, with a simple and polite smile on his face.
“Long time, Mr. Wen.”
“Oh, hello, Mr. Tang.”
When Zhou Yuanfeng saw Tang Lunxuan, he paused, stepping forward and saying in a somewhat alienated tone: “Mr. Tang, may I ask you something? If there is nothing, our sir will go…”
Tang Lunxuan interrupted him suddenly, saying: “Yes, something is going on.”
There was a clapping sound behind him, Zhou Yuan Feng turned to see what was going once he heard it, Gu Yansheng was on the stage answering something with an unhappy face, Zhou Yuanfeng, who knew him very well, realizing that Gu Yansheng was about to get angry.
Wen Niannan followed his gaze, finally seeing Gu Yansheng.
“Yuan Feng, go, don’t worry about me, I can just wait on the side, seems Mr. Tang needs to tell me something. ”
“Great.”
Zhou Yuanfeng looked deeply at Tang Lunxuan, hiding the feelings in his eyes, finally, he turned and left.

Looking at Zhou Yuanfeng’s back, Tang Luanxuan took a sip of wine from the glass, saying softly: “Mr. Wen, can I talk to you a bit outside, in the pavilion?”
Wen Niannan raised his gaze to look at the somber Gu Yansheng on the stage, turned around, nodding lightly, as the two walked outside the building.
Because of yesterday’s hangover, Gu Yansheng’s pain in his head was still unabated, he was trying to listen to the strange questions from the people who weren’t convinced why Gu took the project, he became more irritated not wanting to answer.
Zhou Yuanfeng approached him, pushing the crowd away, stepping onto the stage, he stood behind him, answering those questions for him.
Gu Yansheng had a terrible headache; while glancing at the audience randomly, he saw Wen Niannan and Tang Lunxuan standing in the distance, frowning, his eyes flickered slightly.
Not knowing what they were talking about, they left the hall, walking out the door.
Was Tang Shuo there too?
The silhouette wearing the white suit was a lot thinner than before, while looking at his back drifting away, it seemed as if he had seen it somewhere, the same white silhouette flashing in his mind.
A surprised Gu Yansheng was looking at the familiar white back, it was too familiar to him, where did he see it?

Wen Niannan’s height wasn’t that short, but his anatomy was small and slender, his face somewhat childish, making him appear younger than he really was.
The soft shiny hair, slightly long, hung down, making the whole man look more refined.
It was well understood by Gu Yansheng that Wen Niannan, who appeared to be weak and well-behaved, wasn’t as weak as he wanted to show, he had been stubborn from the beginning.
There was another feeling of dreary discomfort appearing again in his chest. Gu Yansheng pressed his chest firmly but it was useless, he raised his hand, the waiter invited him to take a glass, suddenly drinking the wine in one sip.
Zhou Yuanfeng approached him getting off the stage, he looked at him, frowning, he said: “What’s wrong with you again? Your drunk headache was so bad yesterday, and now you’re drinking wine again.”
“What does it have to do with you?”
The two men walked through the corridor to the garden, Wen Niannan walked to the pavilion in the garden, stopping, he sat on the steps and turned to look at Tang Lunxuan.
“President Tang, what do you want to tell me?”
Tang Lunxuan’s mouth had some difficulty to speak, hesitant again and again to say something: “I’m sorry, Mr. Wen, I know I shouldn’t say it, but Tang Shuo has been locking himself in his room since he met you, refusing to go out, I told my mother to go in and give him food even if he doesn’t want to eat, he just sits in front of the piano, not talking at all, he doesn’t listen no matter what my mother says to him.”

When Wen Niannan heard Tang Shuo shut himself in the room, he remembered his old self, and a touch of pity flashed in his eyes: “What…what can I do?”
“No need for Mr. Wen to do anything, just let me bring him a few words to stop him from continuing like this.”
“When you go back, tell him to not forget the agreement he has with me, I’m taking care of him from behind, he’ll understand.”
“All right…thank you very much, Mr. Wen, for the trouble.”
Tang Lunxuan nodded politely, he turned around, but when he was about to leave, out of the blue, Wen Niannan’s trembling voice came from behind him.
“I’m sorry…”
Tang Lunxuan stopped, and his eyes flickered slightly under the glasses: “Why…Mr. Wen said sorry all of a sudden?”
Wen Niannan tensed his lips and whispered: “I already know, you don’t have to hide it, I know mother’s method, you must be forced to do this till the end of the day, I’m sorry because I’m giving the Tang family some trouble, sorry… ”
“It’s okay, it’s not to blame Mr. Wen, Tang Shuo is too reckless that he gave you trouble, you don’t have to feel guilty.”
Wen Niannan lowered his head and didn’t speak anymore. Tang Lunxuan said sorry before he got up and left, now only Wen Niannan was left in the garden.
The cold wind of the evening was particularly bitter, the lights of the pavilion were flickered by the wind, a touch of fear flashed in Wen Niannan’s eyes.
Outside the wind was a bit strong, the lights on the road were being all blown by the wind, Wen Niannan slowly stood up, walking towards the building from the vine corridor in the back garden where the lights were still lit.
As soon as Shen Luoan walked into the backyard, he noticed something was wrong, there was no one there in the darkness, how could Gu Yansheng let him go there.
“I forgot to take my cellphone, I’ll go to the bathroom to grab it.”
The man in the purple suit suddenly stepped forward, blocking his way, with a strange smile on his face: “Huh? Mrs. Gu, since you’re out, don’t even think about going back.”
Shen Luoan was shocked by his sudden change of expression, he turned around, running back fast.
The man swept his legs, kicking Shen Luoan to the ground, he covered his mouth while dragging him to the backyard.
Fearing Shen Luoan fought fiercely, suddenly catching sight of a person passing by not far away with something in his hand, Shen Luoan broke free, shooting: “Help!”
His mouth was covered again, the purple-clothed man’s strength became greater as he held him, Shen Luoan stared at the person in front of him with wide-open eyes in horror.
When the man not far away heard his voice, he looked over, but only looked at him indifferently, he stood still.
Shen Luoan recognized that man, as the waiter whom he had just made to kneel to apologize.
The purple-clothed man looked at the waiter, shaking his a little ill-natured arm, he gave him a dark smile that appeared at corners of his mouth, he put his finger on the center of his mouth, making a hushing gesture: “Shh”
The waiter turned away his gaze, leaving the place, the purple-clothed burse out, letting out a sneer: “Interesting, it seems that your personality was really bad, so he is unwilling to help you.”
The purple-clothed man suddenly threw the man to the ground with an intense force, taking out his cell phone, he made a call to who knows who, soon some people would be there.
Walking in front of the man’s leg was a bit inconvenient, his face was full of fierceness, a snake tattoo went across his palm to the neck, in his face, there was a scar from his brow to the corner of his eye.
“Well, Xiao Qihao, did you tie the man well?”
The purple-clothed man spread out his hands: “Tsk tsk, for this kind of IQ, the young master let me handle it, Sun Qi will leave him to you for a bit, I will go back and report to the young master first.”
Whistling, he left without looking back.
“This is the husband of the little son of the Gu’s family? It’s a long but pitiful look haha.”
“Hurry up and tie him up to take him away, so much nonsense.”
After hearing this, Shen Luoan cried out: “You can’t take me, I’m from Gu Yansheng, and you dare to grab me?”
“Heh, we caught the spouse of the Gu Group, and you’re still hoping for your family, I advise you to accept your fate, otherwise you will suffer.”
“Let me go, I have money… I have a lot of money to kill you all, or I can bring Gu Yansheng to you, but please don’t grab me…I’m not the husband of the Gu Group, I’m not…I’m not lying!”

Sun Qi slapped him, stepping forward to fling his foot on Shen Luoan’s chest.
“Do you think I believe you? That kid Gu Yansheng ran away, the wounded Laozi was beaten with a broken leg, but now his husband has fallen into my hands, you think I will let you go?”
