Chapter 135: Chapter 126: No Need to Follow, Just Let Her Go (4000 words)_3 Chapter 135: Chapter 126: No Need to Follow, Just Let Her Go (4000 words)_3 Because Shen Jingxiu actually asked her, “What are you doing?”
This was also an unusual situation for Wenyan, so much so that she didn’t know how to reply.
“I’m at a dinner, outside right now…”
“Good evening, big brother, I’m outside now, is there something going on?”
“What’s up, big brother, did you need me for something? I’m outside having dinner, there’s a gathering…”
Wenyan’s message was composed and deleted, deleted and composed, she went back and forth several times and still didn’t know which one to send.
Because every single one was a lie.
She had no choice, as it was hard to know what to say to someone she didn’t chat with often.
Her unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of the other two by the hospital bed.
Shen Jingchuan was sitting on the chair next to Wenyan’s bed and, seeing her like this, couldn’t help but ask:
“Who sent the message? You’re handling your phone like it’s a hot potato, your fingers keep tapping but not a single message gets sent. Forget it, you can’t talk anyway, let me see?”
It wasn’t that the message couldn’t be seen, so Wenyan simply handed her phone over to Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan glanced at the message she had edited but not sent and looked at her, puzzled:
“Why not tell the truth? Just say you’re in the hospital.”
After speaking, Shen Jingchuan pressed the voice message button and directly sent a voice message to Shen Jingxiu on the other end of the phone.
“Big brother, it’s me. I have to tell you, Wenyan was harmed by someone, something happened, and she’s now lying in the hospital, and can hardly speak clearly.”
Wenyan: “…???!!!”
Shen Jinghe: “…”
Shen Jingxiu on the other end of the phone replied instantly with “address.”
Shen Jingchuan directly sent the location and the hospital room number to Shen Jingxiu.
After sending it, he returned the phone to Wenyan and glanced at both Wenyan and Shen Jinghe.
“What are you looking at me like that for? Who was it that told me just now that if we don’t make a big deal and put pressure on the police, their efficiency won’t be high? You two have always been in the country, you should know better than me.
“And you both are in the entertainment industry. Wenyan’s lips are swollen and almost look disfigured; surely you don’t want to use public opinion to blow this up at a time like this, do you? If that’s the case, then her unflattering photos will be flying all over by tomorrow. So now, we can only put on pressure.
“Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say this, I really don’t have much of a network in China, and Shen Jinghe, you only carry some weight in the entertainment industry, the extent of which I am not entirely clear on. As for you, Wenyan, you’re even less influential than me.
“The three of us here can’t muster any significant influence. Now that big brother has contacted you, why shouldn’t we seek his support? He’s more useful than me and Shen Jinghe combined.”
Wenyan: […You really know how to talk, I’ve been persuaded, applause! Clap, clap, clap]
Shen Jingchuan: “…” Holy shit, do inner voices come with sound effects now?
Shen Jinghe was at a loss for words as well.
After a moment of silence, Wenyan activated text-to-speech.
“Fourth brother, I have a question. You understand all this, so why don’t you ask big brother for help when you’re short on cash?”
“How can that be the same?” Shen Jingchuan, arms folded, leaned back on the chair with a casual, nonchalant demeanor, “You’re a fragile woman, and it’s definitely not okay for you to be bullied! I’m a proud and upright man, how can I just go asking people for help so casually!”
Wenyan: [He must have forgotten how he went to our father to ask for an investment and money]
Shen Jingchuan: How can that be the same! The old man’s money is just too much, okay? Besides, a portion of it will eventually be his anyway.
If Wenyan knew what Shen Jingchuan was thinking, she would certainly praise him as a dutiful son.
–
Shen Jingxiu had considered that something might have happened to Wenyan tonight, but he didn’t expect she would actually be lying in a hospital, even with the fourth sibling by her side.
On a chilly autumn night, he didn’t even bother to put on a coat, grabbed his car keys and phone, and hastily left the house.
Just as he sat in the driver’s seat, his phone rang.
He pressed the answer button, and a voice immediately came through.
“Mr. Shen, the Qiao Kexin you asked me to watch has made a move. She bought a train ticket leaving tonight, departing in an hour. It’s a long trip, and I’m not sure if she will get off en route. Do you need me to continue tracking her movements?”
Shen Jingxiu didn’t have time to deal with Qiao Kexin’s matters right now.
But since she had obediently left A City, there was no need to keep tabs on her.
So, he replied to the person on the other end, “No need, your task is over, let her go.”
