The assistant was puzzled. Lu Nanze stood up at once and said, “Make me an appointment to meet with Shen Zihao of the Shen Family.”
The assistant now understood in a flash.
Xia Nuannuan was working in the rehab home when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, she picked up the call, “Hello, how are you? May I know who I’m talking to?”
A momentary silence on the other end of the line. Then a voice spoke, “It’s me.”
The familiar voice caused Xia Nuannuan’s eyes to light up all at once. “Mr. Shen Zihao?”
“Yes, how has she been lately?”
Xia Nuannuan was stumped for a moment before she could react. She said, “I don’t know. Auntie Xia and I run into each other only occasionally.”
The voice at the other end of the line sounded rather disappointed, but said “ok” slowly.
Hearing the disappointment in his voice, Xia Nuannuan suddenly said, “Mr. Shen Zihao, I can drop by Aunt Xia’s house this evening after work. I can give you a call afterwards, what do you think?”
The voice on the other end paused. Then, sounding quite unwilling, he finally said, “Ok, just do that.”
After hanging up, Xia Nuannuan couldn’t help breaking into a big smile.
Mr. Shen Zihao looked rebellious and insensible, but the truth was that inside he yearned for family affection.
Just like when they met at the Glitter Club, even though he was being attacked, he had lent her a helping hand.
With this thought, she went to the rehab home office and requested to leave. Taking a cab, she went to Xia Yehua’s villa home.
After the visit, she immediately called Shen Zihao. “Auntie Xia looks fine, but she’s worried about your brother. She has sold off all her favorite pieces of jewelry.”
The line was silent for a moment before he said words that he did not mean at all, “... serves her right.”
Xia Nuannuan sighed. “But Aunt Xia looks very worried. She seems to have aged aged ten years overnight.”
Shen Zihao went quiet.
Xia Nuannuan continued, “Mr. Shen Zihao, family members help one another.”
“Why do you talk so much? I’m hanging up.”
After chiding her, the line went dead.
Xia Nuannuan looked at her cell phone and laughed happily.
She had discovered yet another positive trait of his. He would feel embarrassed and angry when someone made a correct guess about his inner thoughts.
But why was she finding this so adorable?
Shen Zihao paced up and down his room impatiently after hanging up.
After a short while, the cell phone rang again.
He picked up the line and heard a devilishly alluring voice, “Shen Zihao?”
He paused and asked, “You are?”
Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank at once and his expression became impatient in an instant. “What do you want?”
Even if he hated Shen Liangchuan, only he could. But what sort of rubbish person was this Lu Nanze, that had cornered Shen Liangchuan to the point that the man was now all over the place like a lunatic?
Lu Nanze smiled and said unhurriedly, “I heard that you don’t get along with Shen Liangchuan, hence the reason for my call.”
Shen Zihao laughed at once. “So? What do you mean?”
“I’m wondering if, Mr. Shen, you might be interested in a small collaboration to hasten his bankruptcy?”
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes and said, “So, Mr. Lu, I guess you don’t have any siblings?”
After a pause, Lu Nanze said, “That’s right.”
“Then no wonder you don’t understand how normal people think.” At this point, he gave the man on the line a thorough scolding, “You attacked my brother and now dare look for me for a collaboration, you can go to hell!
