Chapter 5
Su He stopped in front of Sheng Jinyu's bedroom door and hesitated for a moment.
Judging from the way the people in the living room were trying to evade the request just now, it was obvious that waking up Sheng Jinyu was a hugely risky undertaking.
He stood at the door for a while, but with nowhere to retreat, he had no choice but to make a concerted effort and knocked cautiously on the door: "Mr. Sheng, are you awake?"
There was silence, and as expected, no one answered the door.
Su He raised his voice and shouted again, but suddenly there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground from inside the door, and silence returned again.
Su He was startled and suddenly remembered that Sheng Jinyu was a victim who had just been in a car accident. Could he have fainted from some illness?
Without thinking, he quickly opened the door and rushed in: "Sheng...!"
Just when I was halfway through my words, I heard a loud bang...
Su He bumped head-on into the cabinet door that opened in mid-air.
Sheng Jinyu only heard a loud noise, and his hand, which was closing the cabinet door, stopped in mid-air. When he looked down, he saw a group of people squatting on the ground.
Coincidentally, he had just come out of the bathroom and happened to open the door of the entrance cabinet to get something. The cabinet was too close to the room door and he had no time to brake, which led to such a tragedy.
Sheng Jinyu's face was still covered with wet beads of water. He had not expected this to happen at all. Looking at Su He squatting on the ground, holding his nose tightly, he immediately said "tsk", "What are you in such a hurry for?"
Su He felt a sore nose and was unable to make a sound for a long time.
He endured the excruciating pain and spoke after a long while. His voice was muffled and nasal, "Doctor Gu is here. I knocked on the door but no one answered. I was worried you might be sick with a fever and pass out."
Sheng Jin and Ming Yan paused.
Then he said, "Are you worried that I'll die and you won't be able to report back?"
His mouth had begun to indiscriminately target everyone, even himself.
But even though he was speaking with malicious intent, he dropped the things in his hand, bent down and pulled Su He's hand that was tightly covering his nose, and said in a bad tone: "Alright, let me take a look. If it's broken, let Gu Ming heal you together."
He pulled Su He's hand away and raised his chin.
Sheng Jinyu took a closer look and found no bleeding. His little face was gray and his brows were furrowed, with a red nose, making him look just like Santa Claus's little reindeer.
However, the cool, transparent liquid on his fingertips was...
Tears!?
Sheng Jinyu paused, twisted his fingers, and felt the water stains were as hot as fire. He said in an unnatural tone, "You!...Why are you crying?"
"I didn't, it's just an uncontrollable physiological reaction." The nasal tone in Su He's voice became heavier.
Sheng Jinyu made an irritable "tsk" sound and turned back to get the tissue from the box, but he was a little flustered and subconsciously used his injured hand.
The piercing pain after exerting force went straight to his nerves. The pain made him gasp and then curse.
Only after he recovered did Sheng Jinyu use his left hand to pull out the tissue and put it into Su He's hand.
He also didn't forget to mutter in disdain: "Spoiled."
Su He took the tissue and wiped away his tears. He sniffed and suddenly said, "You won't die. Even if you have a fever, you won't die. At most, you will faint for a while. If you are sent to the hospital in time, you will be fine."
Sheng Jinyu's expression was obviously a little surprised. When he realized that Su He's words were a response to his previous sentence "It's hard to report", his face suddenly turned cold.
The atmosphere was like solidified lime for a moment, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"You'd better hide your tail before I die, or I will let you know the consequences."
After saying that, Sheng Jinyu slammed the door and left without looking back.
Su He stood there in a daze. He had just told the eldest young master not to worry about people dying from a fever, so why did he suddenly get angry?
In the living room.
The originally busy servants had already finished their work and left early, and now the huge space returned to silence.
Seeing Sheng Jin coming down, Special Assistant Fang went up to him and talked to him in a low voice.
While preparing medical equipment, Gu Mingze briefly explained to Su He about Sheng Jinyu's injuries.
He half-jokingly said, "The fractures and broken bones caused by the car accident are only the lightest of his injuries. Brain damage also affects his emotional control. He also suffers from post-concussion syndrome and partial reflex disorders. In short, his brain is damaged."
Su He seemed to understand but nodded seriously.
S037 moved closer to Su He. The camera detected that he was in an unusual mood, and he asked worriedly in a low voice, "Su He, why are your eyes red? Did the young master scold you?"
"No, it was just a small accident. I'm fine." Su He explained to S037 in a low voice, and then he went to the bathroom to wash his face.
S037 ran after him and comforted him, "Don't take what he said to heart. Don't let it make you unhappy."
Su He smiled and said, "I know. Didn't Doctor Gu say that he just had a brain injury?"
Over there, the young master of Shengda, who had "hit his brain", was lying under the instrument with his eyes closed. Gu Mingru operated it as usual, but what he didn't expect was that the assistant he brought was of little use.
The handsome young master of the Su family looked lazy and like a young master who had never done housework, but he was actually so meticulous in doing things that it was astonishing.
Su He first reported to Gu Ming what Sheng Jin drank at the banquet last night, then he took the medicine and warm water and arranged a chair for Gu Ming.
Not only that, he would also place items in a position that was more convenient for Sheng Jin and his left hand to reach, and open things that required both hands to open in advance.
He was even more considerate than Gu Ming, the doctor who understood the condition well, as if he was very familiar with the left-handed habits.
This level of attentiveness is truly shocking, almost like a deliberate attempt to please.
In fact, Su He didn’t think so much. He was able to do this purely because he was left-handed, so he understood the habit of using his left hand better.
Gu Ming was just wondering why Sheng Jin was more cooperative and quiet today than usual, and now he finally discovered the clue.
This new assistant was silent, but because of his thoughtfulness and comprehensiveness, he saved Sheng Jinyu a lot of trouble, and even almost made them ignore the fact that Sheng Jinyu was still a half-disabled injured person with his right hand.
Sheng Jinyu's sequelae of concussion caused headaches and irritability. At this moment, he was leaning back on the pillow with a frown on his face, his head full of acupuncture needles that Gu Ming had just inserted.
Seeing that they had finished, Su He walked over in a serious manner with a notebook he had prepared long ago, and asked Gu Ming in detail about the treatment plan and arrangements, just like a professional life assistant.
While Gu Ming was packing up his utensils, he talked to him in a low voice. He inevitably felt thirsty after talking so much.
Su He found that he was looking for water, so he handed him the tea at the right time: "Doctor Gu, this is made by Sister Ling."
"Oh, there's a share for me?" Gu Ming smiled and took it.
He caught a glimpse of the notebook in Su He's hand and saw that he was taking notes quite seriously. He jokingly said with an ambiguous tone, "Assistant Su is really attentive. It seems that Uncle Sheng made the right choice. You are very qualified."
Assistant Su himself didn't dare to laugh. He glanced at Sheng Jinyu on the side and felt that Dr. Gu was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.
Sheng Jinyu didn't say anything or move, but just snorted disdainfully.
He knew Su He's true face, so the more this person pretended to please him on the surface, the more ridiculous he found it. He wanted to tear off this calm disguise and fight Su He with real swords and guns instead of just pretending to be nice.
But now is not the time.
In the afternoon, after finishing the treatment, Sheng Jinyu left Su He and went out again without stopping.
Guangzhou at night has a hint of the charm of an old commercial port. At this time, the Pingcheng Guild Hall in Haijin District in the east of the city is crowded with dignitaries.
Giant fireworks rose into the sky from time to time, exploding in the sky accompanied by music. The headlights of luxury cars at the door followed by exhaust fumes came in one after another, all of them coming to attend the Sheng family's banquet.
Whenever the Sheng family holds a banquet, it will attract half of the people in the city, including the directors of the Trade Association, white-collar workers at the customs... and some important figures whose names cannot be remembered.
Chairman Sheng arranged a welcoming party for Sheng Jinyu for two main purposes. One was to inform everyone that the future successor of the Sheng family had returned to China, which would be a signal to the entire Guangzhou. The other was to warn Sheng Jinyu to change his mind and come back to take over the company.
As the protagonist of this banquet, Sheng Jinyu had to be present to deal with the matter.
Gu Ming and Yan Yichen followed him on either side. They met at the door. One of them came from a family that worked in medical equipment and became a doctor, while the youngest son of a former gambling king opened an entertainment hall. They were both professional matches in disguise.
Only Sheng Jinyu abandoned his family business and ran away to play racing, and now he has finally been caught and brought back to work.
Gu Ming watched him drink one cup after another, and he was extremely disapproving in his heart, but he could do nothing about it. His advice to him to have a good rest and not to overwork was just bullshit.
Sheng Jin had one social engagement after another. He had an injection to seal his injured joint and was using medicine to keep himself alive and pretend that everything was fine.
Chairman Sheng is friendly and polite, which is the consensus of everyone. The young father even specially found someone to assist his injured son. His heart is admirable, but he did not arrange a social event for Sheng Jin and Shao, and Shao did not ask him to hold a glass of wine to deal with it once.
The banquet hall was bustling with activity as people clinked glasses of wine.
Sheng Jinyu was getting bored of being in the crowd, and just when Yan Yichen wanted to take him to the smoking area to relieve his craving for cigarettes, he said hello to Gu Ming and followed Yan Yichen out the door.
"Who did Uncle Sheng find to watch you? Have you found out his background?" Yan Yichen asked.
"Su He, the son of Su Chengguo of Jialai Real Estate."
"It's actually him, the 'rose with thorns'?"
Sheng Jinyu turned around and looked at Yan Yichen, frowning: "What do you mean by 'rose with thorns'?"
What kind of messed up nickname is this?
Yan Yichen spread his hands and said, "You just returned to China and you don't know, but a few days ago, that lecher Zheng San wanted to get that guy into bed. It is said that because this guy is not Su Chengguo's biological son, the Su family doesn't want to support him anymore."
"So?" Sheng Jinyu reminded him of the key point.
"So Zheng San didn't succeed. This Young Master Su actually caused quite a scene in Heavenly Palace, and Zheng San was beaten so badly that he is still in the hospital. But he himself escaped unscathed."
Yan Yichen's expression was full of admiration. He took out his mobile phone and randomly clicked on a post in his circle of friends to show Sheng Jinyu. The picture was of Su He who was drenched in red wine.
"Look, this has spread all over the circle of friends. I don't know who gave him this nickname, but it's quite appropriate."
Sheng Jin and Chui Mou stared at the picture. The photo was blurry, but precisely because of that, the shadowy face was even more ridiculously beautiful.
He was silent and thoughtful, and felt that this was how it should be.
The Su He in the rumors was exactly the same as what he knew in the book. Su He was supposed to be a femme fatale who could play people around.
