Zhong Xuyan came out of the hall with a look of unexpected surprise on her face.
Wen Shu paused for a moment before remembering who he was.
Zhong Wanwan's younger brother, Li Duo's nephew!
"Hello, Mr. Zhong." Wen Shu's expression was indifferent, distant yet respectful towards him.
Knowing that he was from the Zhong family, Wen Shu was unwilling to have much contact with him whenever she saw him.
She was afraid of everyone connected to the Zhong family.
Zhong Xuyan, however, looked delighted. "What a coincidence! You're also here for the Long family's engagement banquet? Are you alone? Why aren't you going in?"
His series of questions silenced Wen Shu.
Zhong Xuyan was a little surprised and nervous to see her here.
He had kindly taken Wen Shu's grandmother home when she couldn't walk the last time he encountered her, and he never expected that the old lady would have such a beautiful granddaughter.
Zhong Xuyan was immediately smitten when she first saw it.
He originally thought he would never see her again, but unexpectedly he ran into her one after another.
However, they never had a chance to meet, and with him now managing the company and being very busy, they had even less time.
And then I ran into him here today.
"Miss Wen, you actually remember me!" Zhong Xuyan was visibly excited. "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zhong Xuyan, and I am currently..."
“Mr. Zhong,” Wen Shu said, “What a coincidence. I was called here by President Li to push your wheelchair. It’s a pleasure to run into you. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Her tone was cold, unlike Zhong Xuyan's warm manner.
Zhong Xuyan's enthusiasm was immediately dampened, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him.
He stammered, "Miss Wen, I'm fine, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to get to know you, to introduce you to a friend..."
Wen Shu smiled and said, "We might not be suited to be friends. Maybe I should go somewhere else..."
Zhong Xuyan hurriedly said, "No, no, you came first, you should stay here, I'll go somewhere else."
Zhong Xuyan was disappointed, but he thought it was because Wen Shu might be in a bad mood tonight.
The engagement party finally ended after lasting for more than two hours.
"Where did you just go?" Li Duo asked.
"Wait outside."
Li Duo glanced at her and said, "Push me out."
Wen Shu pushed the wheelchair without saying a word. Many people left, and each person greeted their owner.
Ma Jun's gaze fell on Wen Shu, and he suddenly walked over and said, "Miss Wen, we have a chance to meet up."
Wen Shu now seemed to have given up entirely, saying, "Miss Ma, congratulations on your engagement. Until we meet again."
She pushed her wheelchair around, and Li Duo scoffed, "How could you and her possibly meet again?"
Guests were constantly leaving the hotel.
With a gloomy face, Wen Shu pushed Li Duo's wheelchair to the steps outside the hotel. In front of everyone, she suddenly reached out and shoved the wheelchair down the steps.
Amid the screams of the women around her, the wheelchair tipped over and crashed down the steps, landing on the bottom level with a loud thud.
Li Duo stood in the middle of the wheelchair, looking up at Wen Shu on the steps with a deep gaze.
Wen Shu looked down at him, and the next second, she suddenly rushed down, hugged Li Duo's arm, and burst into tears.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Li Duo stared at her.
Wen Shu squatted on the ground, holding his hand in a devout and humble posture: "Mr. Li, please forgive me, I just accidentally dropped you..."
She lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the people below the steps.
She did it on purpose, of course.
We absolutely cannot let this go tonight. How could she let herself get into such big trouble, even dragging Grandma and Rou Rou into it?
Li Duo's fiancée should naturally be a young lady of high social standing who matches his status and pride.
The more noble and arrogant she appeared in front of these people, the more she could stir everyone's hearts.
For daughters of prominent families, only those of equal social standing can be considered their competitors.
If she behaves too humbly, it means that the social class difference between her and them is too great, that it is a one-off event, and that she does not threaten the status of the daughters of aristocratic families.
She was trying her best to portray a humble woman who angered Li Duo because of a mistake.
She wanted to prove to these people that she was not Li Duo's proper female companion at all.
What did she look like when she arrived? Long, flowing hair, elegant and poised. What does she look like now?
Messy, tousled hair; a skirt that had been shortened...
Now, with just a glance from Li Duo, everything could be rewritten.
Li Duo said, "You're too careless."
Wen Shu lowered her eyes and didn't move; it wasn't intense enough!
Even without getting angry, Li Duo was on guard.
She spoke again: "I'm sorry... I can pay for your wheelchair!"
She had already checked the price: 120,000.
She has money in her account, and she's willing to spend 120,000 yuan to buy peace and tranquility for her whole family.
She offered to pay for the wheelchair. Is that something a couple should say to each other?
People around came over to help the wheelchair up and reached out to help Li Duo.
Li Duo looked down at Wen Shu and said calmly, "What are you still standing there for? Help me down!"
Wen Shu squatted on the ground, not moving for a long time. He really wanted to torture her to death!
Just then, the driver ran over from not far away, "President Li!"
The next second, Zhong Xuyan rushed out of the hotel, "Uncle?!"
The two men, traveling together, helped Li Duo up from either side, placing their arms on his shoulders.
"Uncle, don't let Miss Wen help you up. She's a girl and can't lift you up. Let me help you!"
"Mr. Li, be careful!"
As the driver spoke, he glanced back at Wen Shu and said, "Ms. Wen, could you please go downstairs and help with the wheelchair?"
Wen Shu looked up at the two of them, her feelings somewhat complicated.
The driver and Zhong Xuyan's stroke of genius, although she didn't fully achieve her goal, at least somewhat dispelled people's doubts.
Wen Shu held onto the wheelchair, and the two men helped Li Duo into it.
Once Li Duo was seated, Wen Shu suddenly stepped back to make room for pushing the wheelchair.
Her movement of stepping aside was so natural that when Zhong Xuyan took it, it was also very natural.
Zhong Xuyan reached out and grasped the wheelchair handle, automatically and consciously pushing it forward, leaving a group of people around him looking at each other in bewilderment.
Wen Shu reached out her hand to them, deliberately keeping her distance.
After Li Duo got into the car, she stood by the window and said, "Mr. Li, if the wheelchair needs compensation or repair, you can have Assistant Jin contact me. I am willing to take responsibility."
"Now that the banquet is over, I won't see you home."
She stood slightly bent over in front of the car, her hands behind her back, and calmly explained to him.
Li Duo pursed his lips, turned to look at her, his gaze fixed on her face, and remained silent for a long time.
Looking at Li Dou's expression through the rearview mirror, the driver finally spoke, "Enough!"
Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat. As the car window rolled up, Li Duo tossed out a sentence: "Then so be it!"
