Chapter 144 My sister even told me you were her friend.



Still feeling comfortable?

Even her grandmother never called her that, so why did he call her by such a disgusting name?

Li Duo's expression was completely calm, as if it were just something he said casually.

Wen Shu's face was grim, clearly having guessed Li Duo's intentions.

He wanted to use this method to let Jiang's parents know that she had no relationship with Jiang Yuanchao, and to make them think that he was willing to help because of her face.

Wen Shu didn't speak. After all, Jiang Yuanchao really needed treatment, and she didn't want to ruin this opportunity just to save face.

She knew Li Duo was a scoundrel, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

She did not refute it.

Li Duo was satisfied with her reaction; she was still perceptive.

As expected, Jiang's parents misunderstood the relationship between Li Duo and Wen Shu.

As they left, Jiang's mother held Wen Shu's hand and said gratefully, "Wen Shu, thank you so much. You even asked your boyfriend to help us find an expert..."

"Aunt Jiang, he's not my boyfriend..."

Jiang's mother advised, "Did you two have a fight? I think he's a good person, and good-looking too. Although he has a slight limp, nobody's perfect."

Wen Shu: "..."

In a small shop near the hospital, Wen Shu stood with a tense expression, arms crossed, looking at the man in front of her with wariness and disdain.

"What do you want?" she asked.

Li Duo replied, "I don't want anything. It's just to make up for the trouble I caused his company back then, and it's out of consideration for you."

"Don't give me that." Wen Shu scoffed. "The police will tell us what your true intentions are. Are you trying to atone for your sins or are you genuinely kind!"

While eating, Li Duo asked, "Before the police find out the results, I'm just a suspect. On what grounds can you convict me directly?"

Wen Shu scoffed, "Zhong Wanwan never mentioned that she was involved in any of the important cases back then."

Li Duo wasn't angry. Instead, he asked her, "Do you want to eat? If not, I'll help you..."

He reached out to take the food from in front of Wen Shu, but Wen Shu slapped his hand away, saying, "What are you doing? I paid for the meal!"

"The country advocates thrift, isn't it a waste if you don't eat?"

Wen Shu picked up her chopsticks and spoon and started eating angrily.

After leaving the hospital, Li Duo asked her to treat him to a meal.

Wen Shu agreed, considering that he had promised to invite experts.

She deliberately led him into this roadside shop, which was cheap and had a poor environment; the tables and chairs looked greasy. Unexpectedly, he actually sat down.

He was dressed in a high-quality suit, and his tall stature made him stand out from his surroundings.

Wen Shu was engrossed in eating, which made him immediately notice the round swirl on the top of her head.

He stared at her swirling eyes. "How's your son doing lately?"

Wen Shu stopped eating, then suddenly looked up at him and demanded, "What does my son's condition have to do with you?!"

Her reaction was stronger than any of her previous words, which made Li Duo frown. "He's a friend of mine who has an injured leg, so can't I ask him how he is?"

Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought, she had thought...

She lowered her head, concealing her earlier overreaction, and said, "It's fine."

Li Duo asked, "Didn't you ask me?"

His leg wasn't broken, and even the wound from the animal trap only caused redness and swelling for a few days, and the wound healed smoothly.

There is still some pain when walking, but it does not affect walking.

He now felt that Wen Shu was annoyed that his wounds were healing too quickly and hadn't served their purpose of venting her anger, so she deliberately limped when walking in the hospital.

Firstly, it was to remind her that her leg injury was caused by her, and secondly, it was to prove that her leg was still injured.

Wen Shu quickly glanced at the person opposite her and answered dryly, "No."

“Tsk tsk,” Li Duo said, “Wen Xingzhou is really not being fair; he’s just being hypocritical.”

Wen Shu looked up angrily, "Rou Rou is just a three-year-old child!"

"So what if he's three? Does that mean he can be hypocritical at three?"

"Who's being insincere? Rou Rou is only three years old. Are you criticizing a three-year-old for not being socially adept enough to greet you?"

Li Duo calmly replied, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old..."

When you were three years old, did your elders tell you that you would grow up to be like this?

"That's a personal attack..."

The shop owner laughed and said, "You two are really something, arguing all the time. These days, young couples have so many ways to show their affection!"

Wen Shu was furious. "He and I are not a couple!"

"Your child is already three years old, why are you still saying such hurtful things?"

Li Duo added fuel to the fire: "Isn't that right? She sentenced me to death for making a mistake, without giving me a chance to correct it!"

Wen Shu was furious. "Auntie, he has a fiancée! Please don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Ah?" The proprietress hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood!"

Li Duo's face darkened. "You mind Lin Jingyu that much?"

Wen Shu didn't even look up. "When President Jiang was dating Zhong Wanwan, I also tried to avoid any appearance of impropriety. This is my principle and bottom line!"

The proprietress immediately praised, "Young lady, your parents have raised you well! If all young people these days were like you, there would be no dramas about cheating, having affairs, or catching mistresses!"

Wen Shu smiled at the proprietress, "It's a pity that many people are shameless these days. To satisfy their own desires, they will say anything and do anything."

The proprietress agreed: "That's right!"

Li Duo knew she was indirectly criticizing him, but he remained silent.

Wen Shu looked at him suspiciously. Why didn't he use those lame excuses to argue with her today?
