Chapter 100: Are you very rich?
Xia Cheng blinked, and her obscure gaze swept over Yu Jingyuan, Lin Minghe, Xun Sheng, and Wan Lu in turn.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Yu Jingyuan rang the nurse's bell.
Lin Minghe rushed over directly.
"Xia Cheng! It's all my fault! If I hadn't gone to the competition, I could have protected you!"
How can this be blamed on Lin Minghe?
Xia Cheng forced a smile. She was pushed out of the ICU while awake. He Qing and Xun Youdong were there at that time. After entering the general ward, Xia Cheng took a nap. Who would have thought that when she woke up again, the people in front of her would have changed.
Wan Lu bent down, turned the metal handle on the bed, and helped her raise the head of the bed.
"I want to drink water." As soon as Xia Cheng finished speaking, Yu Jingyuan, who was closest to her, quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Xia Cheng.
Xun Sheng moved, but failed to grab a seat, so he dropped his hands to his sides.
She took it, gulped down a lot in one breath, and after her lips were moistened, she said with satisfaction:
"Why are you all here?"
It seemed like she was asking this to everyone, but in fact, she was only targeting Wan Lu. Her eyes quickly swept over Wan Lu, and then she lowered her head. The smile on his face always made her shy.
Xun Sheng caught her strange look.
"Mom and Dad watched you all night yesterday and are now going back to rest. It's my turn to take care of you."
"I rushed back after hearing that you were in trouble, but you were in the ICU and I couldn't get in. I came as soon as I could visit." Lin Minghe squatted beside Xia Cheng's bed, looked at the IV needle on her wrist with some heartache, and blew a few breaths of cool air to relieve her pain, childishly trying to please her.
"I'm the same as Lin Minghe." Yu Jingyuan took the cup and placed it on the bedside. "You're injured, so I must come to see you."
After the three men finished speaking, Xia Cheng turned her gaze to Wan Lu and looked him over openly.
"you......"
"Don't you remember me?" Wan Lu chuckled, seeming even more defiant. He was not embarrassed by not knowing the other three people. He walked to the other side of Xia Cheng's bed in a familiar manner, lifted her chin, and left a light kiss on her face.
"Long time no see, Xia Cheng."
His gentle breath hit her face, and the roots of Xia Cheng's hair stood on end.
"What are you doing!" Lin Minghe was the first to react and pushed the person away.
"That's not very polite." Yu Jingyuan frowned deeply and picked up a tissue to wipe the cheek that had been pecked on Xia Cheng.
Xun Sheng put his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of warning.
"Mr. Wan, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first and don't disturb my sister's rest."
Wan Lu was pushed by Lin Minghe, his shoulders shook, and he slowly brushed the wrinkles on his shirt.
"This is the etiquette in our country. When you meet a friend, you should kiss him on the cheek."
Xia Cheng was shaking her head as Yu Jingyuan wiped her with a tissue.
Anyway, this is too sudden!
Xun Sheng walked up to Wan Lu, his eyes fixed on him.
"I remember that in California, people kiss the cheek when they first meet someone of the opposite sex. Only when they've met many times and have a good relationship will they kiss each other on the cheek. Do you know that?"
This involved Wan Lu's secret. Xia Cheng looked up at Wan Lu, and he admitted it openly.
"Xia Cheng and I have met before, and I have admired her for a long time."
"No! You have to get in line!"
Lin Minghe stood up and glared at Wan Lu.
Xun Sheng lowered his eyelids and was about to ask more questions when he heard a knock on the door. A nurse in white clothes walked in, followed by several familiar faces, including Chen Kelin.
The nurse reminded Xia Cheng while measuring her blood pressure and temperature.
"The patient needs to rest, what are you all doing here?"
The Xun family used their connections to get this ward, so no one else is staying there for the time being. But that doesn't mean no one will move in when the hospital runs out of beds. The few of them were indeed quite noisy just now.
After the nurse left, Xia Cheng said to Lin Minghe, "Can I be transferred to your hospital?"
Lin Minghe's family has a huge medical industry, so he agreed immediately and ran out to make a phone call. The request of his beloved woman made him forget about jealousy.
"What does queuing mean?" Xun Sheng still remembered what he had just said.
Yu Jingyuan and Xia Cheng looked at each other, gave the only chair to Chen Kelin, and walked out of the ward with their arms around Xun Sheng's shoulders.
Xun Sheng turned to look at Wan Lu worriedly, and Wan Lu smiled and closed the door. There were only three people left in the ward, and Chen Kelin was surprised that she didn't recognize Wan Lu.
"This handsome guy is..."
"Hello, my name is Wan Lu." He extended his hand first, and Chen Kelin quickly stood up and shook hands back.
"Hello, my name is Chen Kelin."
"Please sit down. You're welcome."
"Okay..." She moved her chair forward. "Are you a foreigner? Your eye color is different from ours."
“I’m from California.”
“Why would people from California come here?”
"I'm here to look for Xia Cheng."
"Oh~" Chen Kelin raised her eyebrows. "Is it what I thought? Hmm?"
Xia Cheng had no idea what Wan Lu meant. What did he mean by "admiring her for a long time"? Was their relationship close enough for him to admire her? Perhaps this foreigner didn't know how to speak Mandarin and misinterpreted "admiration" as something else?
Wan Lu had a faint smile on his face, his eyes curved like a squinting fox.
"I like summer oranges."
This time, he was pressed for time and didn't want to take a detour. He was so busy that he had already wasted two years.
He was already several years older than Xia Cheng. In a few years, he would be in his thirties, and Xia Cheng would still be in her prime. It was inevitable that she would be attracted by the flowers and plants outside. He had sharp eyes and knew that those people were obviously interested in Xia Cheng.
"Then how did you two know each other?" Chen Kelin couldn't help asking.
Facing Xia Cheng's friend, he glanced at Xia Cheng, and when he saw her nod in agreement, Wan Lu told her about his first meeting with Xia Cheng.
After hearing what happened that summer from Wan Lu, Xia Cheng finally understood the truth of that year.
It turned out that when Wan Lu returned to China to look for his sister Huang Yiqiu who had eloped with someone else, he was persecuted in California due to the change of power in the family business. He had to flee with his sister and was taken in by Xia Cheng.
Later, in order to go back, he sent a letter outside and agreed with his men to meet at the border.
It wasn't that he left without saying goodbye that day, but it happened suddenly and the group of people knew he was still alive.
Wan Lu immediately decided to split up with Huang Yi Qiu. He would lure the group away, while his sister would take the children to the border to reunite with her men.
One person cannot fight against many punches. The car he was driving was overturned by the person who was guarding there. The other party wanted to ignite the gasoline and burn him to death, but left and watched because of Xia Cheng's arrival.
Fortunately, Wan Lu's men finally arrived with weapons and subdued those who persecuted Wan Lu.
After Wan Lu sent Xia Cheng to the hospital, he hurriedly left after hearing the news that Xia Cheng was safe, under the repeated urging of his subordinates.
Hearing this, Chen Kelin could hardly close her mouth.
What kind of business requires killing to fight for? She stared with round eyes, full of curiosity.
Xia Cheng was also confused.
Wanlu has noticed something and summarized it briefly.
"It's just some off-road stuff. I usually fight, scare people, collect rent, run a few supermarkets and shopping malls. I also dabble in banking, securities, and trusts. I have businesses almost all over the country."
"Then you must be very rich!" Chen Kelin was stunned.
