Chapter 22

After returning home, Shen Tingzhou carefully recalled his high school life and searched for clips related to Song Qingning.

Even if he had an excellent memory, it would be impossible for him to remember clearly every person he came into contact with during his three years of high school.

Shen Tingzhou really had no impression of this little junior.

The first time I had an impression of Song Qingning was two years ago.

At that time, Shen Tingzhou was going to an academic conference to support his master, but he was rear-ended on the way.

The person chasing him was Li Muye's father, Li Jingchong. He seemed to have something urgent to do as well, so he gave Shen Tingzhou a business card and said he would pay for all the repairs.

In fact, it was just a small nuisance, and the other party's attitude was very good, so Shen Tingzhou politely accepted the business card.

Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally made eye contact with Song Qingning in the car.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Shen Tingzhou asked out of professional habit, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Song Qingning immediately lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's nothing, I just feel a little carsick."

Li Jingchong came over and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were carsick?"

Song Qingning seemed a little nervous and explained uneasily, "I'm not particularly dizzy."

Shen Tingzhou had medicine in his car. He gave Song Qingning a tablet of motion sickness medicine and left.

It was not until much later that Shen Tingzhou learned that that day was the first time Song Qingning met Li Jingchong, and they got married three days later.

It was also because of that accidental car accident that Shen Tingzhou got to know Li Jingchong, and the other party hired him soon after.

Later, Li Jingchong passed away, and his eldest son Li Jinghang continued the contract with Shen Tingzhou.

In the past two years, Shen Tingzhou and Song Qingning did not have much interaction. Based on his understanding of Song Qingning, he felt that the other party was not such a pervert who would collect his used items everywhere.

Shen Tingzhou really couldn't figure this out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Even if Song Qingning might have had some interest in him when she was a student, she might not still have that feeling now, and there might be some misunderstanding between them.

Let it be.

After Shen Tingzhou convinced himself, he put the matter aside.

-

Since he was caught sneaking into the housekeeper's room, Shen Tingzhou hasn't gone to play with the cat for a long time.

He could only sneak a peek at the cat videos Xu Xun posted on his Moments and satisfy his cat addiction online.

After dinner, Shen Tingzhou opened Xu Xun’s circle of friends as usual and started to act like Shiji Niangniang with great interest.

As expected, she is Xuxu. She is so cute when she licks and scratches.

Hey, who told you to lie down on the board?

The big vampire cat is called Xuxu and the small silver gradient cat is called Shenshen.

Perhaps because it is familiar with the life here, the kitten sleeps in a particularly wild posture. It lies flat on its back with its belly exposed, its limbs stretched out on the carpeted floor, and sleeps peacefully.

Just when Shen Tingzhou was thinking “how cute”, the phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was the housekeeper calling, Shen Tingzhou sat up straight.

The phone was connected, and the housekeeper's smiling voice came, "Doctor Shen, do you have time this weekend? Can you accompany our young master to a party? There won't be many people, it's a family gathering."

Since it's a family affair, it might not be appropriate to bring him along, right?

As if knowing that Shen Tingzhou was puzzled, the housekeeper said, "Xu Zhiming will also go that day."

Xu Zhiming is Xu Xun's second uncle, the one who claimed to have robbed the family property.

Hearing that he was going too, Shen Tingzhou suddenly realized.

Oh oh oh.

Is it like in the rich family dramas, where the protagonist plays the pig to eat the tiger, so he pretends to be weak to paralyze the enemy?

He is professional in playing a doctor because he is a doctor!

Shen Tingzhou agreed without hesitation.

On the weekend, he drove to Xu Xun's home early and brought him a cane to make the weakness more concrete.

Shen Tingzhou handed over the cane and said, "Mr. Xu, you should use this one, it will be more effective."

Xu Xun took it hesitantly, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

The housekeeper at the side said, "Listen to Doctor Shen and take it."

Xu Xun glanced at the butler, who then walked him out the door.

The butler stood at the door and waved with a smile, "Be careful on the road."

-

The gathering place was a holiday villa facing the sea. Shen Tingzhou got out of the car and naturally held Xu Xun's left arm.

Xu Xun looked at the hand covering his arm. It was slender and clean, with a slightly warm palm, which continuously transmitted heat to him.

Shen Tingzhou reminded, "Mr. Xu, use your crutches."

Xu Xun: ...

Xu Xun had no choice but to enter the villa with the support of Shen Tingzhou in one hand and a cane in the other.

When he pushed the door open and saw the crowd of people, Shen Tingzhou took a half step back.

Is this what the housekeeper meant by "few people"?

Shen Tingzhou took a quick look and saw at least 30 or 40 people. His throat trembled and he asked Xu Xun, "Are these your family members?"

What a huge group!

Shen Tingzhou has never seen so many family members in his life!

Xu Xun explained, "Not all of them, some are friends."

Shen Tingzhou didn't say anything else, because it was obvious that as soon as they came in, everyone looked at them.

Since the car accident, Xu Xun has rarely made public appearances, so this time he naturally attracted a lot of attention.

An elegant middle-aged woman came over and said with a smile, "Xiaoxun is here?"

Xu Xun hummed lightly.

The woman calmly glanced at Xu Xun's cane and the handsome Shen Tingzhou, her gaze lingering for two more seconds.

Shen Tingzhou introduced himself, "I am Mr. Xu's doctor. He is not feeling well now and cannot stand for long."

The woman's eyes flashed with subtlety, and she said enthusiastically, "Then come in and sit down."

Shen Tingzhou helped Xu Xun in, and when they sat on the sofa, he took out a blanket and covered Xu Xun's legs.

Xu Zheng, who was standing by, watched his brother swallow two handfuls of medicine in less than twenty minutes.

Xu Zheng had a complicated expression, "Brother..."

Since the illness is so serious, you'd better not come. It's scary to see you.

He was really afraid that today's banquet would send Xu Xun away. How could a normal person take so many pills?

Shen Tingzhou said politely, "Could you please close the window? Mr. Xu cannot catch a cold."

Xu Zheng responded and hurried to close the window.

As the person left, Shen Tingzhou felt someone pulling his sleeve. He turned around and saw Xu Xun looking at him.

Shen Tingzhou asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Xu Xun looked up and said, "I ate too much sugar."

Shen Tingzhou had just fed Xu Xun two handfuls of candy, which probably choked him, and his words sounded a bit sticky.

Shen Tingzhou opened the thermos cup and said, "Drink some water quickly, your throat is sticky."

Xu Xun: ...

Xu Xun, with a paralyzed face, took two gulps of water.

Shen Tingzhou dutifully treated Xu Xun as a critically ill patient. After he finished drinking the water, he took out a tissue from his bag and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth.

Facing Shen Tingzhou's sudden approach, Xu Xun did not hide, but just breathed a little lighter.

Shen Tingzhou had his eyelashes drooped. The lines of his eyebrows were very beautiful, and there was a mole hidden in his eyebrows. Before Xu Xun could see clearly, he had already left.

At this moment, a mocking voice came from a distance.

"You'd better just stay in bed. You can't get involved in the company's affairs. If it goes bankrupt, you won't even have money to buy medicine."

Who is so foul-mouthed?

Shen Tingzhou turned his head and saw the handsome but gloomy Xu Zhiming walking towards him with a beautiful female companion.

Oh, it's him, no wonder.

Shen Tingzhou stood up straight, blocking Xu Zhiming's sight, pondered for a moment, and finally told the truth, "Mr. Xu, you may be sick."

Xu Xun behind him smiled softly.

Xu Zhiming's face was dark, he glared at Shen Tingzhou and scolded Xu Xun, "You little bastard, keep your dog under control, even your father wouldn't dare to talk to me like that..."

Shen Tingzhou's voice overlaps with his.

"Mr. Xu, have you been having urinary pain, urgency, insomnia, and hair loss recently?"

Xu Zhiming fell silent all of a sudden, his mouth slightly curled up, as if Shen Tingzhou had hit the nail on the head but he was unwilling to admit it.

His female companion couldn't help but nodded.

Xu Zhiming was furious when he saw this and slapped his female companion in the face, "How dare you have a say in this matter?"

The slap was so heavy that Shen Tingzhou frowned and was about to pull the girl over.

Who knew that the other party also had a hot temper. He covered his face and slapped Xu Zhiming loudly with his backhand.

Everyone was shocked, including Xu Zhiming.

Xu Zhiming's eyes bulged with ferocity, "You..."

The female companion slapped him twice again, "What are you talking about? Didn't your mother teach you not to hit women?"

As Xu Zhiming opened his mouth to speak, the other party interrupted him.

"I thought you looked pretty, so I thought I'd just give you the resources, but who knew you were good-looking but useless? I've used up all my best acting skills in my life in your bed."

Only then did Shen Tingzhou recognize that this female companion seemed to be the vicious third female character in a popular fantasy drama.

When he was chatting with Fu Yunyun about fighting pictures, Fu Yunyun sent her emoticons.

Xu Zhiming pointed his trembling finger at her angrily, "I think you are tired of living and don't want to be in this circle..."

"If you have the guts, just ban me. I don't want to be in this industry anymore! Stupid director, stupid lead actor, stupid screenwriter. My dog ​​rolling around on the keyboard is more logical than that crappy script."

The female companion became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she completely went crazy.

"The protagonist has more wrinkles on his face than the pair of ten-year-old socks on my grandmother's feet, and yet he is the most handsome man in the Three Realms! I am going crazy over his evil transformation, who the hell is he!"

"The heroine looked like she had a quail egg in her mouth, her lines were so unclear, and she even had to use eye drops for such a simple crying scene!"

"The director praised the acting skills of this pair of dragon and phoenix, and it became a hot search. Did your mother make you blind? Director, can you sleep well?"

Shen Tingzhou: Apart from anything else, the lyrics skills are really impressive.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, but every word he said could be heard clearly.

"What a bunch of idiots! I'm pretty, have good acting skills, and graduated from a serious film school, but now I can only get resources by accompanying men. Damn, I even met a fluffy guy who only lasted five minutes in bed. Why am I so unlucky!"

"I'm so pissed off, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Xu Zhiming, who was so domineering just now, was frightened by her madness like a woodchuck spirit.

Hearing the other party say that he was in bed for five minutes, Xu Zhiming wanted to refute, but seeing her current mental state, he swallowed his words back.

When the security guard rushed back, the woman was pinching the crystal glass with her bare hands, and everyone was stunned.

Who dares to take on this desperate attitude?

The woman laughed wildly and poured the red wine. "May this world, from now on, rot and stink like me."
