Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Only the Person I Like Can Call Me That! Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Only the Person I Like Can Call Me That! “Brother Mingchuan, what should I do?”
“Just find a document in Uncle Lin’s study and bring it to me, Chengcheng. The future of the Lin Family and the Lu Family is yours and mine. You won’t let me feel upset, right?”
Lin Xuecheng hesitated slightly!
She didn’t have permission to enter Lin Jingsheng’s study.
“Chengcheng, don’t you want to marry me? Once this issue is resolved, I can buy you a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg. Chengcheng, just like last time, bring me Uncle Lin’s document. You can do it.”
A diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg!
Lin Xuecheng’s eyes sparkled!
“Okay! I will surely bring it to you! Brother Mingchuan, wait for me~”
Lu Mingchuan grabbed Lin Xuecheng’s hand, a bright smile playing on his lips.
“I’ll wait for you!”
As soon as the ICU visiting time ended, Lin Xuecheng left with great reluctance, turning back every few steps.
Her father had urged her to marry Brother Mingchuan quickly, so he would definitely support her decision. She decided to tell her father about it once the Lu Family crisis was over…
…
The Lin Family villa.
Lin Xuecheng quietly slipped into Lin Jingsheng’s study and found the document Lu Mingchuan mentioned among a large pile. She carefully took it out.
Her heart was racing!
The thought of soon becoming Lu Mingchuan’s bride filled her with bubbling happiness!
Too bad her happiness couldn’t be witnessed by Qingwu, or she would surely be envious to death!
Qian Yueqiang sat on the sofa, enjoying a massage from the maid.
The thought of having spent such a long time in that kind of place because of Qingwu, that nasty girl, made her entire body uncomfortable!
“Where did Chengcheng go?”
“The young lady went to the hospital to see Young Master Lu.”
“That’s good. Chengcheng is sensible, after all. She needs to secure the marriage contract with the Lu Family, and after getting married, she’ll enjoy a good life! As for Qingwu, that wretched girl…”
The more Qian Yueqiang thought about it, the more something felt wrong!
She got up and found Lin Jingsheng, who was watering the flowers in the garden, and pulled him to sit on the bench.
“Honey, do you think the old lady secretly left money for that wretched girl Qingwu when she died? Otherwise, why did she leave so decisively?”
Thinking about it, Lin Jingsheng thought it was entirely possible!
“The old lady always doted on Qingwu, she would never have left without leaving something behind. If she managed to connect with Shen Jishi, it had to be using the money the old lady left her!”
Frowning, Qian Yueqiang said, “That’s not right, the money from the old lady should belong to Chengcheng; Chengcheng is the daughter of the Lin Family. Why should Qingwu get any?”
Lin Jingsheng nodded, “I’ll personally call Qingwu’s family and demand she return the money that belongs to the old lady. That all belongs to Chengcheng!”
There was no way to take a penny from the Lin Family!
Once Lin Jingsheng made up his mind, he went upstairs to the study.
Five minutes later, he ran out of the study, sweating profusely!
“Where did my document go? That was a very important bid document for our group!”
Qian Yueqiang also started to panic.
“Did anyone enter your study? Chengcheng and I just returned home and have never gone in there. When was the bid document prepared?”
“It was prepared the day Qingwu left. I haven’t looked at it since!”
Lin Jingsheng slapped his forehead, gritting his teeth angrily: “Fine, it must have been taken by Qingwu… that girl is truly heartless, to take my bid document. Does she intend to get back at the Lin Family?”
“So what should we do now? We should report this to the police!”
The bid document contained a lot of sensitive information. If Lin Jingsheng reported it, Qingwu would be hurt more, but it would bring shame upon himself… If the matter blew up, his reputation in Ning City would be ruined.
“No, no, let’s first contact Qingwu and demand she return the document. If we provoke her, and she joins our competitor with it, what do we do then?”
“That damned girl! If only I had…”
Qian Yueqiang stopped herself halfway, realizing she had almost said something she shouldn’t have!
Fortunately, Lin Jingsheng was preoccupied with thoughts of the bid document and didn’t notice her slip…
…
Beijing, Qiao Xi Hospital.
Qingwu had just left Elder Shen’s ward when a familiar car stopped at the hospital entrance.
The setting sun cast a warm glow over the black car and the man leaning against it, its light trailing along the contours of his figure. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, and as he looked over, Qingwu’s heart skipped a beat…
“Please.”
Qingwu got into the car, slightly frowning, “Can’t you get other gigs? Why do you always end up picking me up?”
Pei Jue chuckled softly, his voice beguiling.
“My car isn’t great. The platform doesn’t approve it, but you don’t mind.”
Indeed, the car was somewhat worn out, and most rideshare drivers in Beijing drove better cars. With Pei Jue’s special status, getting approval was indeed difficult.
Pei Jue bent over to help Qingwu buckle her seatbelt, the faint scent of sandalwood lingering around her, as if even the air was seduced by the fragrance he carried…
“…I can manage.”
“Of course, it’s just that this seatbelt is a bit tricky to fasten. I do apologize. I will strive to work hard and get a better car.”
How was his changing cars any concern of hers?
She suppressed the warmth flushing her cheeks, and coldly said, “Tarzan fled. To be precise, Tarzan never went to X Bar; the one meeting with the Drug King was his brother.”
“My team discovered the same. Incidentally, Deep Sea had some information about Tarzan. Interested in taking a look together?”
Qingwu shot him a cold glance, “Deep Sea gathered this information. Why share it with me?”
Deep Sea and High Tower were two assassin organizations that stood irreconcilably opposed!
Pei Jue wore a gentle smile, “Why not? I act on my own intentions, not rules.”
Intentions?
Qingwu turned her head, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
“Alright, anything High Tower finds on Tarzan, I’ll share too.”
“In that case, let’s find somewhere to have a meal and chat.”
Pei Jue drove into the city, finding a restaurant wrapped in twinkling neon, a rotating platform that from the outside appeared extraordinarily romantic.
Likewise, the restaurant was quite costly. Just one meal could easily start in the five-figure range!
“Do we need to choose such an expensive place to eat?”
Pei Jue moved to her side, opened the car door, and placed a hand over the frame to prevent her from bumping her head.
He bent slightly, his deep-set eyes flickered with a hint of dark ripples, “For the first meal together, I want it to be special. Don’t worry, it’s just one meal. I still have enough to buy a car.”
Why did it matter how much he had…to her?
She simply thought Pei Jue had a tough time financially, having to earn a living and support a whole organization. Spending so lavishly would make things even harder.
What car he bought was not her decision!
Inside the restaurant, Pei Jue led Qingwu to a window seat, with a spectacular view of Beijing’s nightscape.
“What do you like to eat?”
“Whatever.”
Pei Jue nodded and called the waiter to order.
His phone rang, and Shen Yurou’s pretentious voice came through the receiver, “Brother Pei, when will you come pick me up? I want to have dinner with you~”
“Who gave you my number?”
“If you care enough, you can always find out. Brother Pei, I truly like you!”
“Scram!”
He ended the call, quickly blocking the number, and messaged Annie to investigate who it was that had given Shen Yurou his number.
Looking up, he saw Qingwu sitting across from him with a teasing look on her face!
“Brother Pei?”
Shen Yurou’s voice calling him that just made Pei Jue feel disgusted, but when Qingwu said it, Pei Jue found it particularly pleasant!
The girl across, smiling and fair-faced, had lips glistening like gelato, and the name she called out sounded enticing…
“There’s nothing between her and me. I really dislike her.”
Qingwu nodded, “It means even people you dislike can call you that? Brother Pei?”
Pei Jue: “…”
He stood up and poured Qingwu a glass of red wine.
“Only those I like can call me that.”
