“Then why didn’t you place a bet before? Don’t tell me this was a whim?”
“On a whim? Yes, I guess so. I’m only interested in Jiang Youyi.” Lu Yunxiao smiled.
Wu Chen fell silent. How did things become so strange? Why was Lu Yunxiao the one who came to get the money in the end? And what did he mean by that last sentence? After Lu Yunxiao left, his subordinates discussed.
Monkey walked up boldly. “Brother Chen, there’s something fishy!”
“If you have something to say, say it.” He had just been disgusted by Lu Yunxiao and took away 15 million yuan smugly. He was extremely depressed. However, there was nothing he could do.
“Didn’t Jiang Youyi break off the engagement a few days ago? It caused a huge commotion. At the wedding, she said that she liked Lu Yunxiao.”
“Lu Yunxiao did interact with her a few times after that. Don’t tell me the two of them got together and ganged up to cheat us of our money.” Wu Chen shook his head. He had already rejected this idea. “1 know him. It’s just 15 million yuan. There’s no need to lie to me. Look at him. He’s usually high and mighty. Would he be reduced to being Jiang Youyi’s lackey?”
Wu Chen did not know that the direction of things was often so dramatic. A certain someone was even happy to be a lackey for once.
“Brother Chen, why don’t you send someone to check Lu Yunxiao’s account? If he really works with Jiang Youyi, he will definitely transfer money to her.” “Are you stupid? How can Lu Yunxiao’s account be so easy to check? It’s tiring and unrewarding. Get lost.” Wu Chen couldn’t stand his subordinates’ whimsical thoughts and chased them away.
“Prepare the car. I’ll go take a look at Xu Yuning.”
Late at night, in the Xu family’s private hospital.
After taking care of him for the past few days, Xu Yuning was much better. At this moment, Zhang Meng was telling him the story of her childhood. Originally, he disdained to listen to these old-fashioned tragic childhood stories.
However, Zhang Meng was too vivid. Unknowingly, her eyes were already misty with tears, and she looked delicate and moving.
Xu Yuning’s heart softened for some reason. “Is all this your previous life? Is it true?”
“It’s true, it’s all true. Yuning, if you want, you can go down and investigate my previous life now. I know that the previous lie made you have a grudge, but I didn’t mean to lie to you. Being a helper is a lowly thing to do. I’ve been criticized by this job many times before. 1 was afraid that you would despise me. Love itself shouldn’t be divided into levels. We will also be educated, but we were born differently. We can’t deny a person because of this…” Zhang Meng said seriously, ingeniously grasping Xu Yuning’s thoughts. After all, the strong would naturally pity the weak.
“Did that person harass you again?”
“After 1 came to Ocean City, I completely cut off contact with my family. They can’t contact me, and I hope that they won’t find me for the rest of their lives. I’m really afraid, Yuning. Only you have given me the feeling of my family, so I’m willing to give up everything for you, even my life.”
“Why are you talking about this?” Xu Yuning looked at her with a complicated gaze.
“CEO Xu, CEO Wu said that he wants to visit you. He’s already at the door.”
“It’s already so late. What is he doing here?” Xu Yuning looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o’clock. The two of them had never interacted much, let alone had a relationship. At most, they could be considered friends. Occasionally, they would discuss news at the dining table and make use of each other.
“I’m hungry. There’s a bun shop downstairs. Help me bring one up,” Xu Yuning said. He did not want a third person to be present during his conversation with Wu Chen.
Zhang Meng nodded. Knowing Xu Yuning’s concerns, she turned around and left the ward. Not long after, Wu Chen came in with the fruit basket he had just bought. He had put in enough effort on the surface.
“Yuning, why are you suddenly sick?”
The corners of Xu Yuning’s lips twitched. “Visiting a patient at eleven o’clock at night. Your style of doing things is really unique.”
“Sigh, maybe I’m a natural night owl. I don’t want to move during the day, so I’m active at night.”
“I heard that you even opened a bet today to see if Jiang Youyi would come to visit me. You’re really boring. You earn all kinds of money.” Xu Yuning said sarcastically with a faint smile. Although he was bedridden, he was still well-informed. Who wouldn’t feel disgusted when they heard about the opening of the bet early in the morning and even used their own matters as a bet?
“I’m just trying to gather some popularity to earn some money. You’re not really angry, are you?”
“How can 1 be angry over such a small matter?” Xu Yuning’s expression did not change, but he made a mental note of Wu Chen..
