☆, Chapter 70 Why is he so superstitious at such a young age?
Wen Yuanguo returned to his old house in shame.
Yang Man was sitting in the living room. When he came in, she glanced at him and asked, "Where is he?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be in Qianyue Bay."
"What's the point of coming back if you don't get the money!"
Hearing Yang Man's words, Wen Yuanguo glared at her angrily: "You are useful? Even if you are useful, you haven't even spent a penny."
"That's your son! You can't do anything about it, it's none of my business!"
Wen Yuanguo: "Didn't you go to the Yang family? And you came back empty-handed?"
Yang Man turned her head away and didn't speak to him. The two of them quarreled almost every day over the funding chain of the foreign company.
Suddenly, she turned her head and lowered her voice, "Just because we can't touch Wen Yuci doesn't mean we can't touch the people around him!"
The two looked at each other with complicated expressions, but soon they showed shameless smiles.
The company was a bit busy in the afternoon. Shu Wanning was immersed in her work when Wen Yuci suddenly came in and put a cup of brown sugar water on her desk.
She looked up and heard him say, "Your period is coming."
Shu Wanning has already forgotten about this matter.
She covered her mouth and nose, sneezed, and rubbed her itchy nose.
"Wen Yuci, I seem to have a cold."
He frowned, walked around to her and reached out to feel the temperature of her forehead.
"It seems a little hot."
He flicked her forehead angrily: "You."
Although the weather was already warm, she turned on the air conditioner after taking a shower the night before and was wearing so little, how could she not catch a cold.
"My nose is blocked..."
Her voice was very nasal. This time her cold was severe and her throat was already feeling uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qiu Yuerong was already waiting for them.
She found a ward for Shu Wanning to get an IV drip, and touched her hot forehead with worry in her eyes.
Shu Wanning had fallen asleep. She pulled Wen Yuci aside and handed him a clean towel.
"Her fever is quite serious. Please help her cool down physically."
Wen Yuci soaked the towel and placed it on her forehead, feeling distressed and guilty.
Still didn't take good care of her.
When Wen Yuming arrived, he saw such a heartwarming scene.
He sat in the corridor without coming in to disturb them, and was startled by him when Wen Yuci went out.
Wen Yuming: "Brother, how is my sister-in-law?"
"The fever hasn't gone away yet."
He pulled Wen Yuci's clothes to motion him to sit next to him, and moved closer to him, mysteriously.
"Brother, the Xiangyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is said to be the most effective for ensuring safety. Why don't you go there and pray for health and safety for your sister-in-law?"
Wen Yuci raised his hand and patted the back of his head: "How can you be so superstitious when you are so young?"
Wen Yuming rubbed the back of his head and muttered, "If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. Why are you hitting me?"
He reached into Wen Yuci's pocket, but he held his hand and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Where's the amulet I gave you?"
Wen Yuci sighed helplessly and took out an amulet from the inside pocket of his suit to show him.
"I have it."
Originally, he put it in the drawer of his study after receiving it, but every time Wen Yuming saw him, he would ask if he had it with him.
I was afraid that he would keep nagging me, so I just brought it with me every time I changed clothes.
Wen Yuming nodded with satisfaction: "Just carry it with you. The master said that it is only useful if you carry it close to your body."
Wen Yuci just thought he was superstitious and childish.
My grandmother is kind-hearted and used to go to the temple often to burn incense and worship Buddha. If it really worked, her health wouldn't be so bad.
Yan Hao hurried over, his tone filled with anxiety: "Boss, I have to go."
Since Yan Hao spoke, it must be a very urgent matter.
Wen Yuming was aware of this. He looked at his brother who was worried, stood up and patted his chest.
"Brother, go and do your work. Don't worry, I'll take care of my sister-in-law!"
Wen Yuci glanced at Shu Wanning who was still sleeping in the ward, concealed the worry in his eyes and nodded.
He instructed, "You must call me when she wakes up."
After he left, Wen Yuming stayed in the ward, worried about what Wen Yuci had encountered.
After leaving the hospital, Yan Hao immediately said, "Yang Man hired someone to follow Young Master Yuming, and now he's blocking Li Garden with his men."
He quickly walked over, opened the car door, got in, and turned around to say, "Mr. Cen has already left."
Cen You stood at the gate of the garden. He didn't want to tell Wen Yuci at first, as he wanted him to stay in the hospital with peace of mind.
But facing Wen Yuanguo, Cen You really had no way to do it.
When Wen Yuci arrived, Wen Yuanguo was standing not far opposite Cen You, with a lot of people following him.
He didn't come closer, but leaned against the car door after getting out.
His suit buttons were unbuttoned, and he looked at Wen Yuanguo gravely, saying jokingly, "Are you afraid of getting beaten for bringing so many people with you?"
Hearing the voice, Wen Yuanguo turned his head and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Yu Ci is here. I'm here to take your grandma back to the old house. She's used to living there."
Wen Yuci raised his eyebrows: "Then go back and pack your things now. As long as you leave, I will send grandma back."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanguo's clumsy disguise was exposed.
"Heh, he's the one in power after all, and he treats his own father like this."
"What attitude?" Wen Yuci asked him back.
He smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "I'm polite to you because you are grandma's son."
Cen You on the other side took over the conversation: "Think about yourself. You really think you're a real dish if I'm being polite to you."
Shu Wanning was still in the hospital, and Wen Yuci had no intention of dealing with him.
He raised his hand to signal Yan He and said softly, "Beat him up."
Yan He nodded, but before he could make a move, Wen Yuanguo got into the car with a dark face and left.
In the hospital, when Shu Wanning woke up, Wen Yuming noticed it immediately.
He stood up, walked to the bedside and explained: "Sister-in-law, you're awake! Your fever hasn't subsided yet, and my brother went out first because of an emergency.
Don't be angry, he will be back soon. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? "
He said a lot in one breath, and Shu Wanning's eyes were still a little confused.
She yawned slowly and looked at him: "Can you speak slower?"
Just then the door of the ward opened and Qiu Yuerong walked in. Her face looked unhappy, but only for a moment.
She curled her lips at Shu Wanning, walked up to her with a thermometer in her hand and took her temperature.
"You still have a fever. Is your throat feeling better?"
Shu Wanning hummed, "It just feels dry."
Wen Yuming hurriedly picked up the water cup from the table and handed it over: "Sister-in-law, drink quickly."
Qiu Yuerong patted his shoulder and said, "Go out and buy some light food. I'll stay here with her."
"No, I have to protect you here."
"Don't worry." Qiu Yuerong comforted him, "Your brother has someone guarding the door."
Wen Yuming looked towards the door, then nodded and stood up: "Then I'll be back soon."
After sending the people away, Qiu Yuerong sat on the edge of the bed, and the smile on her face disappeared.
She took out the medical report from her pocket and frowned, "You don't have a common cold."
"What?"
"You must have eaten or drunk something unclean. This cold was caused by the medicine."
