"What illness do you need?" a gentle and clear voice asked.
The father and daughter turned around at the same time.
Tang Yue strode over, handed the bag he was carrying in his left hand to Yu Wan, glanced at Yu Jianguo, and asked worriedly, "Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"
"..."
Yu Jianguo had no way to express his suffering, and his face became even more unpleasant.
Tang Yue looked at Yu Wan with a puzzled expression, his handsome brows furrowed.
"It's okay, don't worry about him." Yu Wan took out the sandwich from the bag, took a bite, and her cheeks puffed out.
Yu Jianguo's resentment deepened. He ground his back teeth and deliberately picked a fight, saying, "You're a perfectly healthy man who idles around all day. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Tang Yue maintained his smile and didn't respond. Anyway, anything he said at this point would be wrong; he might as well just listen.
It felt like punching cotton; Yu Jianguo deflated as he looked at that smiling face. That guy was just like that old fox, Grandpa Tang—born to bring misfortune upon the Yu family.
When Secretary Li arrived, he noticed the atmosphere was off. The chairman had a long face, as if someone owed him millions. He took a few deep breaths, steeled himself, and whispered in the chairman's ear, "Chairman, Miss Feng wants to see you. She's downstairs."
Yu Jianguo snorted coldly: "I won't see them." Aren't the Feng family members all very arrogant? They've avoided us time and time again; they must have ulterior motives for showing up now.
Secretary Li said, "Miss Feng came by herself. She looks very pale. Should I send someone to drive her home?"
Yu Jianguo glanced at him sideways.
Secretary Li's heart skipped a beat. Realizing he had misspoke, he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I'll send her away right away."
Although they were speaking very softly, Yu Wan still caught a few words, especially the word "Feng." She squeezed the sandwich tightly with her fingers, and the sauce flowed out.
She frowned, disgustedly threw the rest of the sandwich into the trash can, wiped her fingers, pulled her baseball cap down further, and said to Yu Jianguo, "I'm going back now."
Yu Jianguo nodded: "Okay, go back and get some rest. By the way, the traitor in the company has been identified; it's the manager of the company's R&D department. Once I get back and gather the public relations team to clarify things, you can go back to school in the next day or two."
Yu Wan said "Oh," thought for a moment, and decided not to tell him about the 3T Challenge. Anyway, it would be revealed tomorrow, so she could surprise him then.
Well, actually, she just didn't know how to bring it up. Like Yu Jianguo, neither father nor daughter was very good at expressing themselves, so they would quietly do things for each other.
"Let's go." Yu Wan looked up at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue followed her, walking alongside her, and said, "I have an appointment with someone at 4:30. I'll stop at the Yuhua Tea House on Qiaohua Road later. You don't need to send anyone to pick me up tonight; I'll take a taxi home myself."
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Creditor?"
Tang Yue gave a nonchalant "hmm".
Yu Wan thought to herself, "Why don't you borrow money from me? What's with being chased by debt collectors every day?" But she swallowed the words back. She had nothing to do with Tang Yue now, so why bother worrying about it?
Tang Yue keenly sensed that Yu Wan was somewhat angry, and after a moment's guess, he figured out the reason. He chuckled softly, "If I need money, would you lend it to me?"
Yu Wan was slightly annoyed that her thoughts had been exposed, and firmly refused: "No."
Tang Yue knew when to stop and remained silent.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Tang Yue didn't mention the matter until he got out of the car and left, and Yu Wan felt a lump in her throat. Fine, whatever, it's none of her business. She leaned back lazily: "To the airport."
Meng Shen is flying back to China this afternoon. To make this act more convincing, I haven't told him the truth. Judging from his outburst on the phone last night, he might tear her apart when we meet.
-
However.
After meeting, Meng Shen did nothing but remain silent, maintaining a polite, slightly upturned smile that looked rather unsettling.
“…” Yu Wan asked cautiously, “Brother, are you giving up the playboy persona and switching to the brooding playboy persona?”
In one sentence, he successfully ignited Meng Shen's anger.
Meng Shen gave a forced smile and said sarcastically, "Fine, you even kept it from me. You think it's funny to see me run off to California like an idiot?"
Yu Wan clasped her hands together and apologized, "Brother Shen, wherever you want to have fun today, I'll accompany you the whole time."
"No, no, please don't," Meng Shen refused. "I don't play with people in a vegetative state."
"..."
Yu Wan made a snap decision and took out a bag she had prepared beforehand: "Pick one, and you can beat me up however you like."
Meng Shen glanced into the bag—sticks, boxing gloves, punching bags… what a load of rubbish! He laughed angrily: “If you want me to forgive you, it’s simple, just jump out of the car.”
The driver jumped in surprise and almost slammed on the brakes. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Meng, you must be joking. This is an elevated highway."
Meng Shen gave him a cold look, then looked at Yu Wan: "Didn't you want me to forgive you?"
"Young Master Meng..." the driver raised his voice, instinctively slowing down the car.
Meng Shen raised an eyebrow: "Jump."
Yu Wan nodded: "Okay."
She flung open the car door and leaped out.
In the blink of an eye, her arm was suddenly grabbed and pulled back.
Meng Shen patted his chest, still shaken, and angrily cursed, "Are you crazy? Don't you want to die?"
Yu Wan stared intently into his eyes, her tone sincere: "I'm sorry."
Meng Shen was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Did you expect that I would stop you?"
