Chapter 71: 064 Lu Han Returns Early (2nd Update)_1 Chapter 71: 064 Lu Han Returns Early (2nd Update)_1 “With so many new orders not being done, and still, you have the time to gossip, what are you trying to do? Go on strike?” The speaker in the workroom kept announcing ‘you have a new order’. Putting down what he was holding, Wu Jie put on his work clothes, washed his hands, and got started on fulfilling the orders.
Ade: “…”
“Boss, you’re so mean. You didn’t even remind me when Ajie came back,” Ade complained in a low voice to Tang Su.
Tang Su pursed her lips, “I did remind you. I said he wouldn’t be happy hearing you talk about him like that, and you kept going. What could I do?”
“I…” Ade was at a loss for words. Was that really a reminder?
Oh God—
Ade slunk into the workroom, dejected, and helped Wu Jie complete the orders together.
Tang Su went over and posted the advertisement that Wu Jie had printed for hiring apprentices on the glass door.
“Wu Jie, the issue’s been resolved, I’ll head to the hospital in a bit and top up the medical expenses. You don’t need to worry about it anymore, it’s most likely nothing to worry about.”
“I’m not afraid of trouble; I’ve already paid six months’ worth of medical fees.”
“Huh? Why would you pay so much?”
“Isn’t he trying to scam me by laying in bed? Just went to help him out a bit, to make him seem legitimate,” Wu Jie said with a cold smirk on his lips.
“…”
Tang Su frowned deeply, always feeling that Wu Jie couldn’t possibly be so kind-hearted toward Ye Sichen. So, what exactly had he done at the hospital?
Taking out her phone, Tang Su tried to call Ye Sichen, only to realize she had blocked his number long ago.
She had also blocked Shen Tian’s number.
After all, Shen Tian was somewhat of a celebrity. Her fans might crave her phone number, but for Tang Su, it wasn’t worth the hassle.
Only now did Tang Su discover that both of them had tried calling her several times, but since they were on the blacklist, her phone never rang.
“Wu Jie, did you do something again?” Tang Su felt somewhat weary.
She had thought that everything was perfectly and satisfactorily resolved. When Lu Han returned the next day, she could fully concentrate on designing her confession to him.
First and foremost, she had to be honest with him; she was that Tang Su, the one who had friends confess to him on her behalf when she was sixteen.
She wanted Lu Han to know that they had actually known each other for a long time, not just recently met.
However, now, if Wu Jie really went and stirred up trouble with Ye Sichen, causing a mess, she couldn’t just ignore it and, well, get cosy with Lu Han.
“Nothing much, just gave him a beating. Since he’s dead set on scamming me, might as well let him scam all he wants all at once.”
“Wu Jie, we live in a society governed by the rule of law. Aren’t you afraid he’ll call the police and have you put away? Do you understand what that means for you? Have you considered not just for yourself but for three generations of your family?”
Tang Su was genuinely angry. The Wu Jie she knew couldn’t possibly be someone so selfish, only looking out for himself.
What’s more, he had already beaten someone up, sending them to the hospital, right?
Alright, even if Ye Sichen was faking it, even if he was intent on scamming them, the blood wasn’t fake, nor was the gash on his head.
Just compensating some money and having a better attitude could have settled the matter, so why couldn’t it just quietly go away?
Was that moment of bravado worth it, the courage of a mere brute?
“Young lady, you’ve spoken too well.” Just then, an elderly voice interjected approvingly.
Tang Su was so focused on lecturing Wu Jie that the other three who had been quietly watching, fearing they were about to argue over Ye Sichen, all held their breath and dared not make a sound.
Nobody heard the door chime’s welcoming greeting.
This had given the elder a chance to slip in.
“Why are you here?” Wu Jie’s expression wasn’t very receptive, even though he was a bit upset from Tang Su’s scolding, yet he didn’t abandon the task at hand.
Tang Su first looked at Wu Jie incredulously, then turned her head to see an old man with white hair but an imposing aura, unmistakable as someone of high status.
Did Hua City even have such a figure?
Even if they did, such a person wouldn’t possibly visit her ordinary little shop, would they?
With the old man’s kingly aura, along with the people attending to him and the one pushing his wheelchair, they all seemed like they weren’t to be trifled with at first glance.
Wu Jie had addressed him as ‘you’; did they know each other?
“Tang Su, hello, I am Wu Jie’s grandfather, my name is Wu Donglin, like the arrival of winter. Hence, that’s my name.”
Wu Jie: “…”
The old man is getting more and more verbose. With all that talk, does she really want to listen?
