– Shen Yao’s condo –
Xu Cheng massaged her ankle and asked, “You were always rebellious against your dad, why are you still listening to him and actually going on the arranged date? Didn’t you never like getting involved in your family business?”
Shen Yao said nonchalantly, “That Young Master Wang is really good with his acting. He has his set of acts in front of my parents, and my dad actually believed his character. Seeing that I’m already not that young and Young Master Wang has a government background and has a bright future ahead of him, he just told me to go and check out the guy and give it a try. The Wang Family felt that we have a lot of money and they have a lot of power, so we can combine forces and it would be a match made in heaven. But, I’ve never liked the guy. However, he came to pick me up right when I got off my shift, and I didn’t want to make it difficult for my dad, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to just go for a meal. But holy crap, this guy just goes off on how powerful and almighty he is- Ahh! Don’t be so rough!”
Xu Cheng let go of her ankle. “Done, but let it rest for the night and don’t do any exercise.”
He got up and finally went to get a big cup of water and drank it all down. He was seriously exhausted.
“As a stewardess that deals with high heels on a daily basis you actually still sprained your ankle?” Xu Cheng teased.
Shen Yao: “Why are you still talking!”
At this time, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, it was from her dad.
“Dad?” She picked up the call.
“Yaoyao, what did you do? What happened on Wang Qi’s end? He took you out for a meal, how did he end up in the hospital? His parents are already on my a$$! What really happened?”
Seeing that it was about Young Master Wang, Shen Yao covered the mic on her phone and hopped onto the balcony before resuming the call.
Making sure that Xu Cheng couldn’t hear it anymore, Shen Yao finally explained in the call, “Dad, that guy’s just a perv! I couldn’t stand him, and he wouldn’t let me leave the restaurant, so some selfless model citizen stepped out and beat him up.”
Shen Wansan directly snorted. “They already told me! They said you also know the guy that beat him up, what selfless model citizen? Are you trying to trick me?”
Shen Yao: “Dad, you shouldn’t have introduced someone like him to me in the first place.”
Shen Wansan bitterly smiled. “Come on, Yao-Yao, let’s set aside what kind of person he is. It’s reasonable that you come with Dad to at least pay him a visit at the hospital, right?”
Shen Yao: “I sprained my ankle, how can I go? If he acted like a real man for the whole time, then maybe I would. But he’s just a coward, I’m not going.”
Shen Wansan: “Daughter, did you forget what you promised Dad? Last time, you wanted to buy that brat’s condo, you borrowed 500 million from Dad! Dad just wanted you to help build a bridge with someone in Yanjing and you made it even worse… Dad no longer asks you to be involved in the family business, but you shouldn’t pull the business’s leg, right? That guy’s dad is in the city business bureau, isn’t he going to look for trouble with my company every day now after you did this? Where are you? I will come and pick you up. Dad doesn’t need you to do anything else, just come with me to the hospital to apologize, and Dad will take care of everything else.”
“Fine, just come to the condo I’m usually at,” Shen Yao said, defeated.
When she turned around, Xu Cheng was still sitting there and pretended he didn’t hear anything.
The one that bought his condo was Shen Yao?
Xu Cheng was a bit surprised.
But why though?
For an investment?
Just when he was still in a daze, he saw Shen Yao hopping on one leg out on her way out of the door.
Xu Cheng said, “I will drive you.”
“No need, my dad’s picking me up. You don’t get along with him anyways, it’s best if he doesn’t see you.” Shen Yao was afraid that her dad would push all the blame onto Xu Cheng, and she also didn’t want to get Xu Cheng involved in this.
Right now, Shen Yao still didn’t know Xu Cheng was already not the Xu Cheng from the past. She thought Xu Cheng was still in the military, and it was best to not offend Young Master Wang.
Xu Cheng took the elevator down with her, and downstairs, Ye Xiu came to pick him up.
“Big Brother Cheng, aren’t you a bit early to come down? Don’t tell me you didn’t do anything?” Ye Xiu looked over at Xu Cheng with a dirty smile.
“Do what?” Xu Cheng wondered. “What could I do?”
Ye Xiu smacked his lips, and there was “don’t act dumb in front of me” written all over his face. “That girl even said, whoever can save her, she will sleep with him.”
“If I would, I would’ve done it a long time ago, why would I wait until today?” Xu Cheng snorted. “I have a wife, yet I would find someone else? This is the difference between me and you.”
Ye Xiu: “What difference?”
Xu Cheng: “Gentleman and beast, you are the latter.”
Ye Xiu: “…”
Xu Cheng saw Shen Yao getting into her dad’s car. Thinking that he was the one that hit Wang Laoji, he thought it was best that he handle it.
“Follow that car.” Xu Cheng took out a cig and lit it. He decided to tie up the loose ends.
Ye Xiu saw the girl getting into that car and then heard Xu Cheng telling him to follow it, he immediately looked oddly at Xu Cheng with a hint of disdain. “You were just calling yourself a gentleman a moment ago, a beast that’s dressed in gentleman’s suit like you are the scariest! Bro, you want to stalk her now? That’s some next level kink you got there.”
Shen Yao followed her dad to the city’s People’s Hospital.
Xu Cheng and Ye Xiu parked their car and followed.
Shen Yao and her dad went to the special care room. Right now, Young Master Wang’s entire head was wrapped in gauze, and his parents were sitting by his bed. Seeing Shen Wansan knock, Young Master Wang’s parents appeared quite hostile.
Especially towards Shen Yao, Young Master Wang’s mom directly scolded, “If you already have some dude out there then just tell us directly, there’s no need to approach our son and take advantage of our family.”
“I…” Shen Yao really wanted to say that it was their son that was the toad wishing to eat swan’s meat. But, seeing her dad looking at her warningly, she decided to not say it.
Young Master Wang’s mom became even nastier with her words. “Mr. Shen, this is the daughter you raised? You don’t know he already has a man out there? Look at how my son got beaten up! I want to hear how you want to take care of this.”
“It’s all our fault, I spoiled my Yao-Yao too much, and I will do anything to make it up for the Wang Family. We both want the best for our families, right?” Shen Wansan said as he gave Shen Yao a look.
Shen Yao said, “I’m sorry.”
“If sorry works, why do we still need the police? Don’t we all just need to say sorry for what wrong deeds we did? I’m going to press charges!” Young Master Wang’s mom pointed at Shen Yao and scolded angrily, “And that guy that hit my son, I won’t let him get away with this too!”
Shen Wansan: “Uh… Director Wang, what do you think of this situation?”
Young Master Wang’s dad Director Wang glanced at Shen Yao from the corner of his eyes, and his eyes lit up when he saw the beauty that was Shen Yao.
“Then I will have to see how Miss Shen handles it.”
At this time, Xu Cheng suddenly walked in and said, “I was the one that beat him up, how do you want to retaliate? Just let me know and I will handle it. It’s really a cowardly move to bully a woman.”
