Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Lin Family Got Beaten Up Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Lin Family Got Beaten Up Shen Shushan looked at his sister with a speculative expression and inwardly regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn’t have agreed to film a movie with dual male leads! If this affected his glorious image in his sister’s eyes, he’d blow up those film companies…
“Go to sleep, see you tomorrow.”
“Okay, good night, Third Brother.”
…
Qiao Xi Hospital, General Ward
Lin Jingsheng looked at the payment slip in his hand, his heart bleeding. It was just a fainting incident, he had already explained that he was hit at the entrance. The hospital should go after the culprit for the medical fees!
But those doctors and nurses wouldn’t listen and kept urging him to pay up.
Having no choice, Lin Jingsheng paid the fees and looked at Lin Xuecheng who just came in from outside: “Chengcheng, where did you go? Chairman Shen will be here soon. Don’t run around.”
“When exactly is Chairman Shen coming? We’ve been waiting all afternoon. Is he really going to come?”
Lin Jingsheng couldn’t be sure. Would someone like Shen Dongli really come to see him?
Qian Yueqiang, however, smiled mysteriously, not taking it seriously.
“You just don’t understand. Who is Chairman Shen? He’s so busy, where would he get the time to see us? Even if he comes, he wouldn’t come during the day for the Shen family’s reputation. He’d definitely choose a discreet time to sneak in.”
“You’re right. Chairman Shen will definitely come when he finds out he’s been swindled.”
Lin Jingsheng impatiently checked his watch. If Chairman Shen didn’t show up soon, they’d have to pay for another day of hospital stay!
Several bodyguards dressed in pitch-black suits entered the ward.
“Lin Jingsheng? Chairman Shen sent us to get you, come with us.”
The three members of the Lin family were overjoyed, quickly getting off the hospital bed to follow the bodyguards.
Lin Xuecheng watched for a long time and didn’t see a shadow of Shen Dongli, whispered: “Where is Chairman Shen? We have something important to tell him. Isn’t he coming?”
None of the bodyguards paid her any attention, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Lin Xuecheng tugged at Qian Yueqiang’s clothes in grievance, “Mom, I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Hey, go quickly and come back soon.”
The bodyguards didn’t care about Lin Xuecheng, taking Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang into the car, directly driving away from Qiao Xi Hospital.
As soon as the car pulled away, Qian Yueqiang became anxious.
Lin Xuecheng hadn’t gotten on yet!
“Hey, brother, my daughter isn’t on the car yet! How can you drive off? I must tell Chairman Shen to have you all fired!”
“Shut up!”
Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang looked at each other, tasting something different.
Where were they taking them?
“We are guests of Chairman Shen! What exactly do you want?”
The bodyguards sneered.
“You’ll find out soon enough!”
…
Early next morning, Shen Shushan had just finished making breakfast and placed it on the table, ready to call Qingwu to get up, when the door of the Shen Mansion was knocked.
Behind Pei Jue were several food delivery carts. The servants orderly placed the food on the dining table, and the large table was instantly filled with a breakfast feast that was a feast for the senses.
The few bowls of rice Shen Shushan made were completely overshadowed, appearing especially inconspicuous when placed together.
Shen Shushan’s eye twitched.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
“Last night, Third Brother invited me for dinner, so naturally, I should take care of breakfast.”
Shen Shushan’s expression improved a bit. He coldly snorted, ready to not haggle over trifles with him, when he saw Pei Jue stride directly upstairs…
“Hey! What are you doing? You seem addicted to going to my sister’s room! Get down here!”
As soon as Qingwu opened her eyes, she saw Pei Jue fully dressed in front of her, with an angrily glaring Shen Shushan in pajamas behind him.
Shen Shushan was still grumbling.
“Third Brother, what are you doing so early in the morning?”
She had just woken up and heard these two men arguing about something, looking quite energetic.
Qingwu, in a pale blue nightgown, had hair like clouds cascading onto the blanket, her eyes, with rippling autumn water, still carried slight bewilderment and mist, sleepily looking at the two men in front of her.
Pei Jue’s breath caught; he was so stunned by the beauty of the scene before him that he was momentarily speechless!
He leaned down and gently patted Qingwu’s head, tenderly saying, “Awake? Want to sleep a bit more? I brought breakfast, and made the cook prepare the breakfast you said you liked last time.”
“No, I’ll get up right away.”
“No rush, I just have something to discuss with Third Brother. Take your time.”
He reluctantly released his hand from her hair, its softness like silk, carrying a subtle scent of cedar, her usual fragrance.
Shen Shushan leaned against the door being a third wheel; when Pei Jue stepped out, he grumbled, feeling that the kid knew his place!
Closing Qingwu’s door, Pei Jue helplessly pinched his brow.
“The next time I am talking with Qingwu, perhaps you could step back a bit. If you’re jealous of our good relationship, you could find yourself a fiancée.”
What did that mean?
Was he provoking him for being single!!
Shen Shushan immediately snapped, clenching his fists.
“What do you mean? That’s my sister, mine! Don’t think you can bully my sister in front of me!”
“Last night, the Lin couple was taken to the suburbs and beaten up. Did you do it?”
Shen Shushan paused, quickly pulled out his phone to check, and looked up blankly, “No, I arranged for my men to deal with the Lu Family today. I thought it was you, wasn’t it?”
Pei Jue and he exchanged glances, both thinking it was the other.
“Seems like it must’ve been my dad. But my men will also go, buy one get one free, and beat them up again. At least make it so they can’t come bother Qingwu anymore.”
“Let’s not tell Qingwu about this.”
Shen Shushan nodded, agreeing with Pei Jue’s suggestion. There was no need to inform Qingwu of such annoying matters; she only needed to stay happy.
The breakfast made by the Pei family’s cook was quite sumptuous, even Shen Shushan, who usually had to diet, ate three bowls of porridge with a satisfied expression.
“The Pei family’s cook is really good. When will they switch over to the Shen Mansion? President Pei wouldn’t be so stingy as to not let even one cook go, right?”
“Of course not. It’s just that my grandfather also likes that cook’s skill. If you’re fond, Third Brother, feel free to visit the Pei Mansion. Both I and Qingwu welcome you.”
The almond pastry in Shen Shushan’s mouth crumbled into pieces as he looked at Pei Jue almost spewing fire.
Qingwu glanced at Pei Jue and Shen Shushan.
“I’m done eating. You continue arguing if you want. I’m going.”
Shen Shushan hurriedly followed up, afraid Qingwu might overthink.
“Sister, he started it, I’m innocent! You have to believe me!”
“I believe you.”
Pei Jue followed beside Qingwu, reaching out to hold her small hand.
“I prepared a gift for grandma and grandpa. We’ll send it over in our names, don’t worry.”
Shen Shushan felt a pang in his heart seeing their hands joined, his heart aching intensely.
Could it be as Pei Jue said? Should he find a fiancée?
He was probably deliberately setting traps to win over his sister!
At the entrance of the Zuo Mansion, Zuo Wanjun and Shen Dongli got the news early and were standing with the old master and old lady at the door waiting.
“Mom and Dad, why don’t you go inside; it’s cold out here!”
“It’s such a sunny day; what’s cold? Qingwu is coming for the first time. I’m just letting her know this is her home!”
