When Chen Zhe returned to the hospital, he saw two uninvited guests, and his brows furrowed upon seeing them.
"Chen Zhe, you're back? How could you run out with such serious injuries? That was so dangerous!"
Xu Weiwei ran over and tried to hold Chen Zhe's hand, but Chen Zhe coldly shook her off.
What are you doing here?
After being shaken off by Chen Zhe, Xu Weiwei's expression flashed with dissatisfaction, but she quickly recovered.
Her tone became even sweeter.
"Chen Zhe, they came to see you because they were worried about you when they saw you were injured."
Her best friend Huang Xiaoting said, "Yes, Chen Zhe, we went to Linglong Club to find you this afternoon. They said you were injured and hospitalized. Weiwei was very worried at the time, and of course I was worried about you too."
Chen Zhe couldn't help but chuckle; "You're worried about me?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Weiwei nodded quickly; "Chen Zhe, I know I've done a lot of things to hurt you in the past, but I've figured it all out recently. Actually, I still like you. I didn't realize how good you were to me before, because I wasn't mature enough. After so much time and so many things, I've matured a lot."
Chen Zhe looked at Xu Weiwei's barely concealed dark circles under her eyes.
"I don't see any signs of maturity, but you must have been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately."
Xu Weiwei then feigned grievance; "Yes, I miss you so much I can't sleep..."
Huang Xiaoting, standing next to her, was like her straight man: "I can testify! Weiwei calls your name in her dreams at night, she misses you so much."
"Yes, Chen Zhe, I really miss you. I came to see you despite the danger. Do you still remember Wei Ming? He is still sending people to look for us. We came here secretly."
"Yes, yes, Chen Zhe, I wasn't planning on coming because it was too dangerous, but Weiwei was very worried after hearing that you were injured and insisted that I come with her. She really loves you. You two should make up."
Xu Weiwei nodded; "Chen Zhe, yes, let's make up, we can go back to how we were before."
"Heh? Our past relationship?? I don't understand what you're saying."
Seeing Chen Zhe's mocking expression, Xu Weiwei instinctively wanted to get angry, but Huang Xiaoting tugged at her clothes.
She immediately realized what was happening.
She forced a smile and spoke in a sweet tone, "Ah Zhe, can't you forgive me? I know I've done things that hurt you before, but I've changed now, really. I haven't dated a single man since I left Donghai. My heart only has you in it now."
"Tsk tsk, you really are an innocent woman..."
"This is who I am, Zhe. Let's put aside the unpleasant past and start a new life!"
He had just finished speaking when the door to the ward opened, and Xiao Dingdong, who had returned with hot water, tried to avoid him.
But Chen Zhe beckoned her over.
She walked over in a daze, under the puzzled gazes of Xu Weiwei and Huang Xiaoting.
Chen Zhe put his arm around Xiao Dingdong's waist, which startled her so much that the water bottle she was holding trembled.
"Ah Zhe, who is she?"
Xu Weiwei angrily questioned.
Chen Zhe tapped Xiao Dingdong's waist with his finger, signaling her to be quiet.
"I'm sorry, you are an innocent woman, but I am now a philandering man. We can't go back to the way things were."
Xu Weiwei clenched her fists tightly, and the changes in her facial expressions were quite a sight to behold.
"Weiwei, hold on!"
Huang Xiaoting whispered something to her.
Xu Weiwei took a deep breath and then smiled again; "A Zhe, I don't mind. You're so successful now, it's normal to have another female confidante by your side."
"Oh?"
Chen Zhe felt a sense of satisfaction from revenge, but at the same time, he felt a little sad. What kind of eyes did he have before? He actually fell for a woman like Xu Weiwei. If Xu Weiwei were standing here now and still hated him as much as before, he might have thought more highly of her.
But now, even Xu Weiwei's last shred of arrogance couldn't hold sway over him; the woman before him had completely transformed into a vulgar and unbearable person in his eyes.
"Sorry, please leave. I don't want to swear."
"Zhe, what's wrong? I've been so wronged, won't you forgive me?"
When Xu Weiwei heard Chen Zhe tell her to leave, she became somewhat agitated.
"Xu Weiwei, it doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. Let's pretend we never met. You guys go, I need to rest."
"Chen Zhe!!! What are you so arrogant about? I've begged you so much, won't you even give me a chance?"
Xu Weiwei's tone changed to the accusatory tone she used to use towards Chen Zhe.
"Weiwei, don't get agitated..."
Huang Xiaoting tried to pull Xu Weiwei back, but Xu Weiwei shook her off.
"Don't stop me. I'm going to settle things with him today. What gives him the right to treat me like this? So what if he's a little richer now? Does that mean he can talk to me like that? Everyone knows that. He used to be a bootlicker who chased after me all over the streets. What is he so arrogant about?"
Seeing Xu Weiwei lose control, Chen Zhe wasn't angry; Xu Weiwei couldn't evoke any emotion in him now.
“If you don’t leave, I can call Wei Ming now and tell him that you are here.”
This statement startled the two of them.
Huang Xiaoting immediately grabbed Xu Weiwei; "Chen Zhe, don't be impulsive, let's leave now, let's leave now, whatever you do, don't make any phone calls."
Huang Xiaoting pulled Xu Weiwei out.
Once outside, Xu Weiwei was still furious. "What kind of person is he anyway? He used to do anything to please me, but now that he has some money, he acts all high and mighty. I was right to break up with him! He's no good at all."
Huang Xiaoting sighed; "You were too impulsive just now. Why did you yell at him?"
"He deserves to be scolded!! I can't stand his smug look."
Huang Xiaoting shook her head; "It's not a question of whether he should be scolded or not. Have you forgotten why we came here today? If we can't get on Chen Zhe's good side, then we won't have a place in Donghai. That Wei Ming is still sending people to look for us. Right now, besides Chen Zhe, who else can help us?"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Xu Weiwei also frowned.
His tone softened.
"Then...the things he said just now were really awful, as if I'm begging him to get back together with me."
"Isn't it just begging? What did you expect it to be?"
“I… I’m not used to begging him; he’s always the one begging me.”
“You know that was before. Things have changed now. He’s not the sycophant Chen Zhe he used to be. He’s President Chen now, the big boss of Linglong Club. You cheated on him before, so it’s normal for him to be a little temperamental.”
While Xu Weiwei was slow to grasp the situation, Huang Xiaoting understood much more clearly.
"Then... what do we do now?"
Huang Xiaoting sighed. She wanted to condemn Xu Weiwei's brainlessness, but it was no use saying so now. She needed Xu Weiwei to get close to Chen Zhe so that they could be safe.
"Let's go back now and figure out a solution when we get back."
"Xiaoting, if all else fails, how about we go apologize to Wei Ming? Maybe he'll forgive us?"
“Admit your mistake… No, Wei Ming isn’t a good person. We stole his company’s information before, and he hates us to death. If you go and admit your mistake now, do you think he will let us go?”
"This won't work, that won't work!! It's so annoying!!"
Xu Weiwei lost her temper.
"Whose fault is this? I'm still angry. If you hadn't pulled me there, I wouldn't have run into this mess."
Huang Xiaoting couldn't tolerate Xu Weiwei's temper tantrum.
"Even if I dragged you there, so what? It's your own greed. If you didn't love money, would you have become like this?"
"I... Oh dear! What's the point of blaming each other? The most important thing now is to appease Chen Zhe. He's just angry with you right now, so there's still hope for us."
"I don't think it's that simple. He already has other women in his life, so why would he agree to get back together with me?"
"Hehe, all men are the same. Once they have one, they'll want another. Chen Zhe is no exception."
What did Xu Weiwei think of when she saw Huang Xiaoting's tone?
"You mean..."
"That's right, one of you isn't enough, but what if we add me to the mix? We'll both go and beg him together. I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted by two women willing to bow down to him and let him do whatever he wants."
Xu Weiwei nodded; "That might work."
"That's absolutely possible! Let's go back and buy some better equipment first."
"What equipment?"
"What kind of equipment? Equipment that can attract men, right? Didn't we do that before?"
Xu Weiwei belatedly nodded; "Then let's hurry up and go!!"
The two women left in a hurry.
Chen Zhe was unaware of their conversation; he was currently in the hospital room apologizing to Xiao Dingdong.
"I'm sorry, Dingdong, those two people were really annoying me. You're not angry, are you?"
Xiao Dingdong blushed and shook her head.
"It's good that you're not angry. Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything. It was just a formality."
"I know."
Xiao Dingdong poured hot water for Chen Zhe again, and seeing how warm-hearted she was.
Chen Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "Gu Jingyan is really blind. He doesn't want such a good woman. He's incredibly stupid."
Xiao Dingdong was a little confused. She didn't react much when she heard Gu Jingyan's name. Her mind was filled with the scene of Chen Zhe hugging her waist. She used to be afraid of Chen Zhe because he always scolded her, but now he was so nice to her and even asked her to come and take care of him. Now he was hugging her on his own initiative.
[Mr. Chen...is Mr. Chen hinting at something to me?]
Thinking of certain possibilities, Xiao Dingdong blushed as red as a boiled crab.
"Ding-dong... Ding-dong!!!"
Chen Zhe shouted a few times.
Xiao Dingdong finally realized what was happening; "Huh???"
The water tank is full.
Chen Zhe pointed to the splashed boiling water on the table and asked Xiao Dingdong, who was holding the cup, "Isn't it hot for her?"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Xiao Dingdong screamed in agony as she realized what was happening.
Seeing her slow-to-realize expression, Chen Zhe found it kind of cute and couldn't help but laugh.
