Chapter 488 I Miss You
Wen Liang booked a room for Huo Dongcheng next to his own room in the hotel, and asked two bodyguards to help him to the bed, take off his shoes, and let him sleep peacefully.
She turned on the air conditioner, adjusted it to the appropriate temperature, boiled a pot of water, poured out a cup and placed it next to the bed.
After doing all this, Wen Liang was about to leave.
Suddenly, Huo Dongcheng grasped her wrist, his eyes tightly closed, his face flushed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had dreamed of something sad, and he murmured in a low voice, "Don't... don't go..."
Seeing this, Wen Liang sat down beside the bed and comforted him softly, "I won't leave, you can sleep peacefully."
To be honest, the friendship between her and Huo Dongcheng was more like Huo Dongcheng's one-sided contribution. Whether it was photography, the time in Philadelphia, or capturing Zhang Guoan, Huo Dongcheng helped her a lot, but she could not help him at all.
Wen Liang has always been grateful to him and regards him as a kind older brother.
After the last time, she might gradually distance herself from him, but she would not resent or hate him because he chose to stand on the side of the Bai family.
He was not related to her and had no obligation to help her.
But relatively speaking, Fu Zheng made great efforts in this matter, although part of it was for Fu Yue, she was still very grateful to him.
“…Don’t go…”
Huo Dongcheng was still sleeping restlessly, his lips moving slightly, his voice weak and unclear.
Wen Liang leaned over and put his ear close to her, only then could he vaguely hear a few words: "...I miss you so much, mother, mother..."
It turned out that he was dreaming about his mother.
Although he had never seen his mother, he often heard people from the Bai family tell stories about his mother's life. Gradually, the image of his mother became more and more complete in his mind.
Wen Liang: “…”
She didn't want to take advantage of Huo Dongcheng, but she always felt something was wrong.
Huo Dongcheng's brows were furrowed, a layer of fine sweat beads covered his forehead, and his big hands tightened even more.
Wen Liang had no choice but to comfort him and gently patted his shoulder with his other hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Mother……"
Huo Dongcheng murmured softly and gradually fell asleep peacefully.
Wen Liang sat by the bed for a few more minutes. Seeing that he was soundly asleep, she slowly pulled her hand out and tiptoed out of the room.
Bodyguard Liang Fei and his companions were guarding the door.
When Wen Liang saw the two of them, she wanted to tell them not to tell Fu Zheng what happened today, but then she thought that there was nothing between her and Huo Dongcheng, so if he wanted to be jealous, let him be.
Wen Liang returned to her room and was about to take a shower with a towel when Fu Zheng called.
Wen Liang raised an eyebrow and answered the phone, "Ward check?"
Liang Fei must have reported the matter to Fu Zheng.
Fu Zheng paused, "I heard he's next door to you?"
"Well, we drank some wine at the dinner table, and I didn't know where the Huo family was, so I took him back to the hotel." Wen Liang briefly mentioned it, without mentioning that she knew Huo Junshan's phone number.
If Fu Zheng knew that she didn't send Huo Dongcheng to the Huo family out of consideration for his feelings, he would probably be so jealous that he would drown in jealousy.
Fu Zheng laughed sarcastically, "Why did he appear at your dinner table?"
At noon, Fu Zheng called to ask if she had arrived at the hotel. Wen Liang had told him that she would have dinner with the people from the magazine in the evening.
"I only found out when I arrived at the restaurant that he was the one who recommended me to Editor-in-Chief Yang."
Hearing this, Fu Zheng gritted his teeth.
Huo Dongcheng is so insidious!
He acted first and reported later, forcing Wen Liang to accept his kindness and having no way to cut off ties with him.
The thief is still alive!
Wen Liang added, "Actually, I didn't plan to meet him when I came to the capital this time."
"Have you been drinking?"
"No, he was drinking with Editor-in-Chief Yang, and Editor-in-Chief Yang left early." Wen Liang explained, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go take a shower first."
"Go ahead, be careful and don't slip."
"Um."
"etc."
"What's the matter?"
"Put your phone inside and don't hang up."
Wen Liang was stunned, his face slightly red, "Why? Is the sound of water nice? Don't we have one at home? You can listen to it however you want."
"Wen Xiaoliang, what are you thinking about? I want to talk to you, but I'm afraid it will delay your rest time."
"……oh oh."
Wen Liang responded awkwardly and argued softly, "It's not that I'm overthinking it, it's clearly your request that's weird."
As she spoke, she walked into the bathroom, put her phone where it wouldn't be splashed by water, hung up her towel and bathrobe, and turned on the shower.
The bathroom was filled with the sound of running water.
Fu Zheng asked casually from the microphone, "Did he tell you anything? For example, why the Bai family didn't want to reopen the case?"
Wen Liang said casually as he took off his clothes, "I said it."
"What did you say?"
"He said he hated the Fu family because of Fu Qingyue. His mother jumped to her death after giving birth to him. He did that because he wanted to suppress Fu Yue and then unite with others to divide up the Fu family."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.
"Can you hear me?" Wen Liang asked.
"I can hear it."
Fu Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Wen Liang smiled, standing under the rain, and ran his hands along his body as the water flowed. "What do you want to ask? Do you know that he is your half-brother?"
Seeing that Wen Liang knew, Fu Zheng pursed his lips and whispered, "...Grandma told me my identity before, but I didn't want to admit it. Do you know why Auntie doesn't like you?"
Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, "Is it because of Ms. Lin?"
Fu Zheng hummed softly, his voice drowned out by the sound of flowing water, but Wen Liang heard the rest of his words clearly.
"She's still stubborn and thinks Huo Junshan would be with her if Lin Jiamin wasn't around. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Wen Liang thought that Fu Qingyue felt that her status was not worthy of Fu Zheng, but she didn't expect it was because of this. She didn't know how to evaluate it.
Huo Junshan cheated on his wife during marriage and his wife became pregnant with the third party. He is definitely not innocent in this matter. Even at this time, Fu Qingyue still can't let go completely.
Fu Qingyue's willfulness and stubbornness are fully reflected in Huo Junshan.
"Is she still in Jiangcheng now?"
"I've already sent someone to send her back to Los Angeles. Xie Zhen will have someone block her visa and prohibit her from entering the country."
Fu Qingyue has already changed her nationality.
"Okay."
With Fu Qingyue's financial resources, she can live a comfortable life abroad as long as she doesn't think about coming back.
There was silence on the phone.
The sound of the shower filters out certain unspeakable sounds.
I take showers frequently in the summer. I rinse my body several times with Wenliang and then turn off the shower.
She had just taken off the bath towel to wrap her body when she heard a faint panting sound coming from the microphone.
Wen Liang thought he was hallucinating and continued to wipe his body with the towel.
"Are you done washing?"
Fu Zheng's voice came from the microphone. Listening carefully, it seemed to be a little hoarse and lower than before.
"Fu Zheng, what are you doing?"
An idea popped up in Wen Liang's mind and he asked suspiciously.
"Didn't you guess it?"
"you--"
Wen Liang was embarrassed and annoyed, "I'm going to hang up the phone!"
"Aliang, wait." Fu Zheng stopped him with his voice.
"Anything else?"
"Do you want to try it?"
