Chapter 120 Keep Your Enemies Close (1)



It didn’t take her long to fall asleep after laying down. When the alarm went off, Shu Yan sat up abruptly. She looked at the time. It was 3:30 AM. She quickly got up, wiped her face down, grabbed her stuff, and headed toward the wholesale market.

After the last few times, Shu Yan was already pretty good at grabbing the merchandise quickly. The last few days in business had given Shu Yan confidence in her judgement, and she grabbed quite a few of the ones that she liked. Then she headed to a few shops that she was familiar with for some new designs.

After she went back to where the car was parked, the driver helped her put her stuff inside the trunk.

“Boss Shu, my friend is running a few minutes late. Do you mind waiting a little bit?” The driver negotiated with Shu Yan.

Shu Yan took a look at the time. It was already past 7 AM. “It won’t be long, right? I am in a hurry.”

“It won’t. Probably another 10 minutes or so.”

Shu Yan went to get herself some breakfast and brought a bottle of soda back for the driver. With nothing else to do, she chitchatted with the driver. “Your friend looks a little mean. Is he in the car rental business too?”

“Sort of. He might look mean, but he is a really nice guy.” The driver had a look of admiration on him when he talked about his friend. “Did you see that scar on his face? That’s not just a scar. That’s a man’s medal.”

“He’s in the military?” Shu Yan didn’t look very closely at the man; besides, she didn’t think she’d be able to spot the so-called temperament anyway.

“He was, in the past. He went on an assignment one time and came back severely injured. He never talked about what happened. It probably had something to do with national security. Plus, he saved my life once. In our business, especially when we do long-distance trips, sometimes we will run into robbers. I ran into robbers once. If he didn’t happen to be nearby, I might not be around anymore.” Having said that, the driver was very emotional. “Did you know? He was able to take 7 ~ 8 men by himself in a matter of minutes. Hahaha.”

So that’s why the driver had such respect for the man. Shu Yan had originally thought that he might be a mobster.

About 10 or so minutes later, the man returned. When Shu Yan saw the scar on his face again, she no longer found it scary. Now, she found it fairly attractive.

“Something’s the matter?”

Shu Yan only realized she had been staring at him for too long after she heard his voice. She quickly recollected herself. Feeling a bit awkward, she answered, “No. Are you thirsty?” She handed over a bottle of soda to him.

The man paused for a second and said, “No, thank you.”

She didn’t even know his name after all, so Shu Yan wasn’t too overly enthusiastic about it. She had a bit of a hero complex. Back in the days, she had always gotten very excited when she saw heroic military men on TV.

Running back and forth getting the merchandise, Shu Yan was exhausted and fell asleep in the car shortly. She felt that with a military man in the car, albeit a veteran, made her feel very safe.

When they were almost back to City Nan, the man in the passenger seat suddenly said, “Let’s drop her off first.”

Shu Yan took a look at him and thanked him softly.

It was after 9 AM when she arrived at her shop, and the driver helped her unload her stuff. The man, too, helped, to her surprise. Shu Yan ran over to a shop close by and bought a bottle of beverage for him. “This is to thank you for helping me unload the stuff.”
