“Then I will join you for dinner.”
“Alright, I’ll get the chauffeur to pick you up.”
Wei Shuyi’s car had been damaged by the collision, so he did not plan to use it anymore. He originally wanted to change to a safer car, but thinking that he was going to America to further his studies after Christmas, he did not plan to buy it.
If he went out now, he would either take a taxi or a bus.
Hearing Qiao Jiusheng’s words, Wei Shuyi agreed.
At night, he went to Fang Yusheng’s house for dinner and had fun at their house for a while.
Around eight o’clock, he planned to leave. Qiao Jiusheng urged him to stay warmly. “Anyway, you’re not working recently. Stay with us tonight.”
Wei Shuyi had not seen Beauty Wu for a few days and missed her.
He rejected Qiao Jiusheng’s invitation to stay and asked the chauffeur to send him back.
When he passed by villa 7, he saw Dongli Shenghua and his son wearing sports clothes. They had just returned from a jog outside. He took a look and retracted his gaze. When he was about to reach Beauty Wu’s district, Wei Shuyi called Beauty Wu.
The call was picked up very quickly.
“Beauty, I’m almost at your house. Are you at home?”
Beauty Wu said, “Mr. Dongli is meeting a client tonight. I have to go with him.”
Wei Shuyi was stunned.
He had clearly seen Mr. Dongli and his son together…
“Beauty, are you with Mr. Dongli now?”
“Yeah.”
“Where are you?”
Beauty Wu did not find his words strange. She said, “At the company. I’ll set off to see the client immediately.”
Wei Shuyi’s eyes were filled with darkness.
He nodded and hung up.
The car stopped at the entrance of Beauty Wu’s district. Wei Shuyi thanked the driver and walked to Beauty Wu’s house alone. He looked up and saw two lights on the fifth floor.
She was home, but she lied and said she was not.
Was she avoiding him?
Thinking about it carefully, Beauty Wu did not seem to have taken the initiative to contact him since he was discharged.
Why?
Was she really busy, or…
Wei Shuyi refused to think about the latter possibility. He almost recovered and finally returned to the hospital to work.
The moment Yuan Jun saw him, he unbuttoned his clothes.
Wei Shuyi jumped in shock and scolded him for being a pervert.
Without a word, Yuan Jun unbuttoned all three buttons on his shirt. Without the clothes covering him, the light pink scars under his shirt were all exposed. Yuan Jun took a look and said, “It’s a small injury. It won’t kill you.”
So he wanted to see his injuries.
Wei Shuyi quickly put on his clothes and glared at him. “So rude!”
Yuan Jun snorted, turned around, ran back to his office, and closed the door.
Wei Shuyi went to his office and saw Elder Xu sitting there. Elder Xu was indeed Yuan Jun’s teacher. When he saw Wei Shuyi, he did the same thing as Yuan Jun—unbuttoning his shirt!
“I’ll do it myself!”
Wei Shuyi quickly unbuttoned his shirt and showed the wounds to Elder Xu.
Seeing those injuries, Xu Lao nodded and said, “You’re lucky. The car was damaged, but you only suffered minor injuries.”
“Yeah, lucky.”
Their disciple had survived and returned to the hospital for work in one piece. Elder Xu and Elder Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’re bound to have good fortune after surviving this disaster. My wife went to buy groceries this morning. Go to our house for dinner after work tonight.” Seeing that Wei Shuyi was about to say something, Elder Xu immediately pointed a finger at him and pretended to be fierce. “Don’t say no.”
Wei Shuyi could only nod helplessly and agree. “Alright, I’ll go.”
After work in the afternoon, Wei Shuyi took Yuan Jun’s car and went to Elder Xu’s house with him.
Elder Xu’s daughter, Xu Yingying, was back.
The moment she saw Wei Shuyi, Xu Yingying pounced on him and pretended to hug him. Yuan Jun quickly stood between the two of them. He held Xu Yingying’s collar and pulled her to the side. As they walked, he informed her. “Your Brother Wei has a girlfriend. You can’t hug him casually anymore.”
Xu Yingying pursed her lips and shook Yuan Jun’s hand off with her shoulder. “He has a girlfriend, so you can touch me as you please? Let go of me!”
His hand was flung away, and his handsome face collapsed. He placed his hand on her again and said something that was like asking for a beating. “I’ll still touch you.”
“Get your dirty hands off me…
The two youngsters, who were three to four years apart, were bickering about touching each other.
Wei Shuyi saw the two childish actions and felt both helpless and warm.
At the dining table, the four elders showered him with concern, making Wei Shuyi unable to eat.
Madam Xu stared at Wei Shuyi for a moment before suddenly asking. “Why didn’t you bring Beauty along?”
Hearing this, Wei Shuyi shook his head naturally. He was a little helpless but also a little angry as he said, “Didn’t Beauty become a bodyguard? Her boss makes her especially busy and she works overtime every night. She can only rest for two days a month.”
Seeing that such a polite person like him would actually grumble non-stop about someone, Madam Xu was relieved.
When Yuan Jun heard this, he said gloatingly, “I heard that couples will break up if they don’t meet for a long time or if they’re too busy.” After saying that, he looked up and realized that the other four people at the table were staring at him with displeasure and anger in their eyes. In order not to arouse their anger, Yuan Jun could only shut up awkwardly.
After dinner, Wei Shuyi and Yuan Jun stayed in the Xu family for more than half an hour. Xu Yingying told them about her interesting experience studying overseas.
“Daniel is quite handsome, but he’s too fickle. I don’t like it,” Xu Yingying said.
Yuan Jun quickly said, “Then you have to be careful. People with messy private lives might carry diseases.”
“Do you think I’m stupid?”
As they spoke, the two of them started arguing again.
Wei Shuyi suddenly said, “It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”
Madam Xu looked at the time and agreed. It was almost eight o’clock.
Yuan Jun left with him.
Xu Yingying sent them downstairs. After they went downstairs, she said to Yuan Jun, “Accompany me to shop. I bought a pink shiny bag yesterday. Now, I lack a set of clothes to match it.”
Yuan Jun immediately shouted exaggeratedly. “Are you serious? Buying clothes specially to match your bag? If you spend money like this, you might not be able to get married in the future.”
“I’m not spending your money!”
The two of them almost quarreled again.
Finally, Xu Yingying noticed Wei Shuyi and stopped arguing with Yuan Jun. The weather was no longer hot, and she could still feel a little cold in a long-sleeved shirt at night. Xu Yingying ran over and pulled Wei Shuyi’s sleeve. She looked up at him and asked, “Brother Wei, are you coming with us?”
Wei Shuyi shook his head. “I’m not going. You guys go ahead. Have fun.”
Yuan Jun called him an old cadre and returned home after dark. He did not have the vigor of a young man and did not know how to enjoy the nightlife.
Wei Shuyi thought of the rich nightlife from last time and felt a gust of wind beneath his feet. He ran even faster.
After taking a taxi home, Wei Shuyi’s forced smile collapsed.
He turned his head and looked at the shining shops along the street. He thought of Beauty Wu and felt irritated.
The next day, Wei Shuyi went to work early in the morning. He checked the ward and returned to his office.
He had just sat down when his phone rang.
He opened it and saw an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for two seconds before answering.
“Hello, I’m Wei Shuyi.”
“Hello, Dr. Wei. I’m Tang Junwei.”
Tang Junwei.
After spending two to three seconds searching through his mind, Wei Shuyi finally remembered this person. He was the boyfriend of a female patient who had given him a check and red packet for 100,000 yuan.
After realizing who it was, Wei Shuyi spoke less coldly.
“It’s Mr. Tang? What’s wrong? Is it about Miss Xiao Jing’s body…”
“No, no, no!” Tang Junwei quickly said, “Xiao Jing is very healthy. It’s something else. My wedding with Xiao Jing will take place on the 20th of this month.”
“You saved Xiao Jing’s life from the gates of hell. Dr. Wei, you contributed to our success today. May I ask if Dr. Wei can attend our wedding and be our witness?”
Since he called him personally to invite him to shi wedding, Wei Shuyi naturally couldn’t reject him and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he flipped through his calendar and realized that there were not many days left.
After some thought, he took his phone and called Beauty Wu.
When she received his call, Beauty Wu and Dongli Shenghua were on their way to a certain movie king’s filming location. She hung up the phone first before texting Wei Shuyi.
Little Gangster: [What’s wrong? I’m working, it’s not convenient for me to answer the call.]
Wei Shuyi stared at the message and his eyes darkened.
She was working again…
Beep beep.
His phone vibrated.
Beauty Wu turned on her phone and saw the message.
Brother: [Are you free on the 20th? There’s a place I want you to accompany me to.]
Little Gangster: [No, 20. I have important arrangements that day. Can we go on the 24th?]
Brother: [Forget it then. I can go alone. Go to work.]
After turning off his phone, the anticipation in Wei Shuyi’s eyes completely disappeared.
“Who are you texting?”
Dongli Shenghua’s voice suddenly sounded in the cramped car.
Beauty Wu put her phone into her trouser pocket and said coldly, “Boyfriend.”
“Have you guys been fighting recently?” Dongli Shenghua realized that Beauty Wu had not called him during her break. In his opinion, this was extremely unusual.
Beauty Wu snorted. “Should I explain it to you, Mr. Dongli?”
Dongli Shenghua carefully analyzed her words.
What was she taking her anger out on him for?
Thinking back carefully, Dongli Shenghua said, “He knows that I’m talking nonsense, yet he still cares?” He chuckled and said to Beauty Wu, “This man is really petty.”
Beauty Wu remained silent, but there was a sad expression on her face. On closer look, she was even a little angry.
Did that mean that Wei Shuyi was really suspecting that there was something between them?
Dongli Shenghua’s mood suddenly improved.
He said, “From the looks of it, he doesn’t love you much either. He won’t even give you the most basic trust.”
Beauty Wu remained silent, but her expression became even more sinister.
There was no danger during the visit.
Dongli Shenghua was not Detective Conan. He would not follow danger wherever he went.
On the other hand, there was a small female celebrity who wanted to curry favor with Dongli Shenghua and kept throwing flirtatious glances at him. Dongli Shenghua felt irritated and said to Beauty Wu, “Miss Wu, please think of a way to help me block me from that woman’s line of vision. It’s disgusting to look at.”
Hence, Beauty Wu stood in front of him and blocked that woman’s vision.
The woman was furious, but Dongli Shenghua was extremely satisfied.
On the way back, he asked the driver to drive to a high-end custom-made tailor.
When they arrived, Beauty Wu accompanied Dongli Shenghua upstairs.
After the designer measured Dongli Shenghua’s size, he walked to Beauty Wu’s side and measured her body size. Beauty Wu was a little stunned. She looked at Dongli Shenghua in confusion. Dongli Shenghua read the confusion in her eyes and said, “When necessary, you have to accompany me to special occasions. Have you forgotten this?”
Beauty Wu’s eyes flashed. She did not speak but cooperated with the designer’s actions.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 20th.
When Beauty Wu accompanied Dongli Shenghua to their destination, she realized that they were going to attend the thirty-year anniversary of Long Xiao Entertainment. The banquet was held on the second floor of the Empire Hotel.
The largest banquet hall on the second floor was booked by Fang Ping.
Long Xiao Entertainment and Shenhua Entertainment had almost divided the entire entertainment empire in Country Z. It was the 30th anniversary of Long Xiao Entertainment, and Dongli Shenghua should be there to celebrate. When Beauty Wu and Dongli Shenghua arrived, many media outlets were taking pictures of them.
The long red carpet was about 20 meters long.
On both sides of the red carpet, spotlights flashed non-stop. The reporters raised their heads to welcome every big shot celebrity. Beauty Wu and the rest waited for all the celebrities to finish walking the red carpet before appearing hand in hand.
This was red carpet etiquette.
Even if Dongli Shenghua hugged her waist, Beauty Wu could not reject him.
The two of them were dressed in black. Dongli Shenghua was wearing a black high-class velvet suit, while Beauty Wu was wearing a black designer high slit gown. The slit was especially high, and Beauty Wu’s beautiful legs seemed to be revealed as she walked.
