Chapter 153: Strong Dragon, Local Snake, Local Dragon
After Li Zhen went on a business trip, he would contact Lu Xingchen at a time when the time difference was neither too early nor too late. In the end, due to the time difference and busy schedule, the number of contacts was much less than when they were in China.
In addition to going to work, Lu Xingchen contacted Xu Fanghua more frequently because she was worried about the follow-up to Lu Wenli's matter. However, Xu Fanghua said that after returning the money, Lu Wenli never contacted her again and almost never returned home.
Later, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but call Lu Xingchen and said that Xu Fanghua had not been feeling well recently. Lu Xingchen took the opportunity to ask her about Lu Wenli. Aunt Zhang's answer was the same as Xu Fanghua's, saying that she hadn't seen that person for a long time.
Lu Xingchen used her annual leave to take Xu Fanghua to the hospital for a physical examination. While Xu Fanghua was doing a cardiac ultrasound, she went to the self-service machine to give her the test report, and at this time she saw Wen Nuan again.
This time, following Wen Nuan was Li Zhen's mother Wang Yaning, and the female bodyguard Sister Yuan who they had met at their home before.
Wang Yaning walked into the obstetrics clinic with Wen Nuan, and Sister Yuan followed behind them.
Through the glass wall of the obstetrics department, Lu Xingchen saw Wang Yaning and Wen Nuan come to the nurses' station. The two talked for a while, and Wen Nuan took out a booklet and ID card from her bag and handed them to the nurse. The nurse then asked them to scan the QR code next to them and fill in the information.
While Wen Nuan was filling in the information, Wang Yaning was smiling and carefully taking care of her. Lu Xingchen looked at them for a while, and finally his eyes were attracted by the insulated box in Sister Yuan's hand.
She was very familiar with the thermal insulation equipment. When she was sick before, Wang Yaning cooked for her in this container.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Wang Yaning was good to her, in large part because she had helped Li Shu and Li Wen before. But to her, after all, she was just her ex-girlfriend who left her when her son was having a hard time starting his business.
Because the other party didn't notice him, Lu Xingchen didn't go out of his way to say hello. He just took the printed report and returned to the color ultrasound room.
Fortunately, there was nothing serious wrong with Xu Fanghua's report, so the doctor just prescribed some of the medicines she had been taking and let them go.
The tenth night of Li Zhen’s business trip happened to be Friday.
Lu Xingchen finished the work at hand, and Lin Huanxi called him: "Brother Chen, we are in AK, can you come over? Li Wen and Xu Ke are all here."
Just as Lu Xingchen was about to refuse, Li Wen's voice came from Lin Huanxi's phone, "Sister Xingchen, please come. My sister has returned to Yuecheng. She heard from Sister Huanxi that you would come, so she might rush over directly after getting off the plane."
Lu Xingchen felt that she had been a little too sensitive recently, because when she heard Li Wen's words, she remembered the scene of seeing Wang Yaning and Wen Nuan acting like mother and daughter in the hospital that day.
She didn't know whether this reaction was petty or jealous, but she could not deny that she felt pressured to refuse the family's kindness.
But it is undeniable that they treated her like one of their own and were neither polite nor stingy in their kindness.
Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, but I may be late."
Lu Xingchen arrived at AK at nearly ten o'clock and was about to take the elevator to go upstairs, but several young people who smelled of alcohol came out of the elevator first, five people in total, including men and women.
One of the girls with long black hair seemed to have drunk a lot and had to be supported by two boys to barely stand. Lu Xingchen took the initiative to step aside.
The two boys then led the girl out. The girl raised her head and mumbled, "Don't touch me..."
Lu Xingchen frowned, because she was familiar with the face under the messy long hair of the girl. It was Su Wanyi who sang "First Love" for Li Zhen at Luo Shi's birthday party that day.
Her companion looked to be the same age as her, and Lu Xingchen was not sure if he was her classmate. Moreover, there was another girl in the elevator who helped Su Wanyi up when they got out of the elevator.
Young people nowadays are quite crazy when they play. Lu Xingchen was just hesitating whether to enter the elevator when he heard the girl who had just helped Su Wanyi pick up the phone and say:
"Don't worry, everything is going well. Even if she wakes up tomorrow, she will think she drank too much..."
Lu Xingchen turned around and looked again. The two boys had already carried Su Wanyi some distance away.
The girl who was on the phone, who had light blue hair, big earrings, and a tattoo of an arrow piercing a heart on her palm, stopped where she was and didn't move forward.
She looked at a man next to her who was older than the group and also had a tattoo of an arrow piercing a heart on his palm. He put his arms around the girl's waist, where her belly button was exposed, and tilted his head to kiss her on the face.
Lu Xingchen thought that Su Wanyi was Li Wen's friend and planned to call him to ask, but now she immediately gave up the idea because she knew this man, he was the youngest son of the Wang family, but she couldn't remember his name.
But the Wang family has been in the dock business for decades. On the surface, they are legitimate businessmen, but in Guangdong City they are well-known local tyrants, the kind of snake that even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Li Wen is just a student. Even if Li Zhen is behind him, Li Zhen's roots in Yuecheng are not that deep. No matter how big his business is, he is just a powerful dragon.
And she has a better candidate for dealing with the local tyrant. Seeing that her son had no intention of following Su Wanyi and the others, Lu Xingchen followed them and found a number in her address book and dialed it.
Before she could speak, a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone and said, "Did I answer the wrong number or did you call the wrong number?"
Lu Xingchen said: "That's all right. Hello, Mr. Chu. I'm Lu Xingchen."
Chu Zeyan said with a smile, "I know it's you, but why did you suddenly think of calling me? Did you miss me?"
How can these people say "I miss you" and "I miss you" so easily? "Mr. Chu, do you have time now? Maybe you have to come to AK whether you have time or not."
Chu Zeyan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Have you even chosen a place for your date with me?"
Lu Xingchen has already walked to the outdoor parking lot. "Is Su Wanyi your sister? If so, she seems to be in some trouble now. I can probably help her for a while, but I don't know if I can hold on."
Chu Zeyan's voice immediately became serious, "I'll be there in twenty minutes, help me look after her... and take care of yourself."
After hearing the approximate time, Lu Xingchen stuffed his phone into his pocket without caring whether he hung up or not, and strode towards the two boys who wanted to get Su Wanyi into the car and shouted, "Where are you going to take my sister?!"
