Chapter 115: Your Dad is Sick (First Update)
Translator: 549690339
At this time, Song Jia and Zhou Shen, publicly got into a fight.
Song Jia was like a lioness gone mad, seemingly wanting to bring Zhou Shen down with her.
This time, Song Jia’s face completely lost its warmth.
All this boasting about spending a whole night together, possessing awesome kung fu skills… How embarrassing!
“Pshh-
Song Jia, holding what seemed like keys, abruptly poked Zhou Shen in the eye!
“Ah— My eye! You bitch! Ah—” Zhou Shen writhed in pain on the ground, screaming pitifully.
Bystanders murmured “Karma” “Karma”
Soon, the security personnel of the car show hauled Song Jia and Zhou Shen away.
The person in charge of the car show came over and apologized to Wu Shanshan. “Wu Shanshan, we’re really sorry about what happened just now. We shouldn’t have accused you without investigating, just based on one-sided claims. Now, the truth has come to light, you were falsely accused. I apologize to you here.”
Wu Shanshan, being a laid-back person who held no grudges, simply nodded and responded when she heard the car show manager apologize. “No problem, President MO, let the past be the past, there’s no need to say anything more. I should get back to work.”
The incident was settled.
Huang Xiaolong stood next to Wu Shanshan and chuckled, “Fat Wu, who would have thought that you’d be falsely accused? You’re a police officer after all.
How hilarious.”
“Um…today…thank you for today,” Wu Shanshan said awkwardly, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a complex expression.
The events of today were quite troublesome, and who knows how the drama would have unfolded if Huang Xiaolong hadn’t stepped in to help.
Wu Shanshan was a girl with a clear sense of love and hate. Despite her previous grudges with Huang Xiaolong, her hatred had completely disappeared. and she was somewhat grateful to him.
In addition… Huang Xiaolong’s tactics were astonishing!
He had easily discerned the authenticity of a jade bracelet, slapped Song Jia and Zhou Shen in the face!
Then he hypnotized Zhou Shen, revealing his true nature!
With such tactics, unceasingly revealed as if a thunderclap, he far surpassed any Interpol agent!
This made Wu Shanshan somewhat admire Huang Xiaolong…
Of course, she wouldn’t admit it.
“Fat Wu, don’t be so formal, we country kids can’t stand this kind of dirty business. Even though you can be temperamental and thoughtless at times, I couldn’t just stand by and watch you get framed. That would weigh heavily on my conscience,” said Huang Xiaolong with an innocent expression.
Temperamental? Thoughtless?
Wu Shanshan was dumbfounded.
“Alright, alright, you’re too harsh. And I’m not fat, quit calling me ‘Fat Wu’,” Wu Shanshan protested. “There’s a shift change this afternoon, let me treat you to lunch at noon.”
“Sure thing,” Huang Xiaolong agreed immediately.
Not long after, Wu Shanshan finished her shift, collected her pay for the day, changed her clothes, and walked out of the stadium with Huang Xiaolong.
Wu Shanshan had stripped off her evening dress and changed into a simple and refreshing outfit.
She sported washed white jeans, a light yellow round-neck T-shirt, canvas shoes, and a backpack. She had taken off her makeup and let her long hair flow freely, giving off the vibes of a college student.
Naturally, her towering height and the conspicuous curves on her chest were intensified by the plain clothes. She looked like an upgraded version of Sister Zhiling. On the road, she attracted almost 100% of people’s attention.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong did too.
…Er, after all, Huang Xiaolong, dressed like a rural resident, walking next to the extraordinarily beautiful and tall Wu Shanshan, was hard not to attract various speculations, even envy.
The two casually ordered a few home-style dishes at a Chinese restaurant near the stadium.
Having starved, Huang Xiaolong devoured the dishes voraciously.
“Your name is Huang Xiaolong, right? I’ll call you Huang Xiaolong from now on. But can you please eat a bit slower? I’m not going to steal your food.” Huang Xiaolong’s eating manner made Wu Shanshan speechless.
“Ah– Fat Wu, you eat too. Aren’t you hungry?” Huang Xiaolong said while devouring his food.
“I’m okay. By the way, you came to the car show. Are you planning to buy a car?” Wu Shanshan asked.
“Yes, I am planning to buy a car,” Huang Xiaolong replied.
“Oh– You seem to be doing quite alright in the city,” Wu Shanshan smiled. “If you want to buy a car, I can help you. I know many car dealership managers.”
“Should be nice. By the way, Fat Wu, It seems like you don’t like being a car model, you could quite very well stop doing it,” Huang Xiaolong said, looking at Wu Shanshan seriously.
Ah…” Wu Shanshan sighed helplessly. “I don’t want to be a car model, it’s really awkward, but there’s no choice. Life isn’t about choosing not to do things you don’t want to do, right? And I’m not a rich girl. I need money for my family.”
“Fat Wu, are you facing some difficulties at home? You can tell me, I can help you,” Huang Xiaolong said earnestly.
After last time’s “punishment” in the interrogation room, Huang Xiaolong no longer held any grudges against Wu Shanshan. On the contrary, a girl with such extraordinary height subtly stirred up a possessive desire in Huang Xiaolong’s subconscious.
“Um…” was all Wu Shanshan could say.
“Oh, you don’t have to tell me, I’ve figured it out already,” Huang Xiaolong said intriguingly.
“You figured it out?” Wu Shanshan asked, surprised. “What did you figure out?”
“I observed your face,” Huang Xiaolong said. “One’s parents can be discerned from the eyebrows. High and full eyebrows indicate long-lived and healthy parents. Sunk eyebrows signify loss of parents from a young age. People with dark eyebrows would have sick parents. Solar and lunar sides of one’s eyebrows represent father and mother respectively. The lunar side of your eyebrows is dark, which suggests that your father is ill.”
Clatter—
Wu Shanshan’s chopsticks dropped to the floor. She stared at Huang Xiaolong in disbelief. “You… you’re really incredible… My… my dad has been bedridden for a long time… My gosh, you… you can even figure this out?”
“Fat Wu, didn’t I tell you that I could read faces? What illness does your father have?” Having finished eating, Huang Xiaolong then put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
“My dad was bitten by a poisonous snake a few months ago. We sought help from some traditional practitioners who performed acupuncture on him, but not only it didn’t do any good, but his legs also… also became insensate…” Her face grew sorrowful as she spoke. “We took him to a major hospital for two months, draining our family savings and even borrowed some money. However, it didn’t do any good for my father’s legs and… and… the head doctor said… amputation might be necessary…”
“Oh, amputation?” Huang Xiaolong gave it some thought. “Is your father still in the hospital?”
“We’ve taken him back home, my dad firmly refused amputation, ” Wu
Shanshan sighed. “A person… once amputated… isn’t that the end?”
“Right, amputation is not an option.” Huang Xiaolong agreed solemnly. “Okay, Fat Wu, take me to your place, I will help cure your dad.”
“You? Cure illness?” Wu Shanshan gaped at Huanz Xiaolong.
