Chapter 56 Shang Chen: "It was Yan Zhao who caught them in the act, not me."
Bai Wei's gaze fell on Yan Zhao's hurried departure, and she asked in confusion, "She hasn't done anything wrong, so why is she so afraid?"
Because of her best friend Lu Zhi, Bai Wei also dislikes Yan Zhao.
She thought this person was pretentious and not open-minded at all.
"Maybe he did something wrong." Wenxi picked up the menu and handed it to Shang Chen. "Take a look and see what you want to eat."
Shang Chen remained expressionless: "Did I disturb your work?"
"It wasn't really work, we just chatted for a bit."
Wen Xi and Shang Chen introduced: "Song Hezhou is my older brother's good friend. He has taken good care of me since I was a child. He went abroad to develop his career a couple of years ago and only recently returned to China."
"I was originally planning to invite you to dinner so we could get to know each other, but Brother Song has business with me this time."
She then said to Song Hezhou, "Shang Chen, my husband."
Five words, concise and to the point.
I'm very satisfied with the business.
Song Hezhou: "I've heard of President Shang's great name for a long time, but unfortunately I'm abroad and haven't had the chance to meet him."
Shang Chen: "Thank you, Mr. Song, for taking care of Xixi in the past."
"Not really," Song Hezhou said politely with a smile. "Wenzhou already thanked him on behalf of his sister."
After Shang Chen arrived, everyone stopped talking about business and instead had a proper meal together.
When they left, Bai Wei and Attorney Han left first.
Wen Xi took Shang Chen's arm and said to Song Hezhou, "Attorney Han is a professional in this field. He has been working in this field for many years and is very experienced."
"If you have any questions in the future, Brother Song, you can contact Attorney Han directly."
Song Hezhou laughed and said, "Can't I contact you?"
"Yes," Wen Xi said frankly, "but I'm currently in charge of Zhou Yuan's divorce case, and I also have other cases that haven't been closed yet, so I probably won't be able to handle it all."
"No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health."
Wenxi had something she wanted to ask, and since there were no outsiders around, she asked, "Brother Song, I heard you got into a fight with Lu Jinghuai?"
Song Hezhou smiled calmly and said, "It's just a minor conflict at work."
"He stubbornly invested in a project, which resulted in a bad decision that caused my two years of hard work to go down the drain. I punched him to vent my anger."
"That's all?"
"What else could it be?"
"It's good that you two didn't have a major conflict." Wenxi then asked, "When do you plan to leave this time?"
"I don't know." Song Hezhou glanced at Shang Chen subconsciously. "But I won't stay for long."
Wen Xi nodded: "Remember to tell me when you leave the country, and Shang Chen and I will see you off."
Song Hezhou also knew that Wenxi had a problem with not being able to feel the cold.
His gaze fell on the scarf around Wenxi's neck and the thick trench coat she was wearing, his gentle smile tinged with bitterness.
She got married, and her husband took good care of her.
"good."
"See you next time?"
"Wait!" Song Hezhou suddenly said, "Wenxi, I met Wenzhou abroad this time."
Wenxi's expression flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Oh, how is my brother?"
Song Hezhou's eyes deepened: "He seems alright. How long has he been like this?"
Wenxi suddenly fell silent and did not answer Song Hezhou's question.
Song Hezhou sighed, wanting to raise his hand and pat Wenxi's shoulder like he did when they were children, but then he remembered that Wenxi was already married.
Her husband stood beside her; the two were a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful.
He shouldn't have overstepped any boundaries.
Song Hezhou was quite moved and said, "Your brother would be very happy if he knew about the baby swap."
Wenxi's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
She turned her head and took a deep breath. "Mmm."
"See you again sometime."
"goodbye."
After Song Hezhou left, Wen Xi got into Shang Chen's car and said to Assistant Wu, "Don't drive yet."
Assistant Wu immediately said tactfully, "Madam, I'll get out of the car and have a smoke first."
Wenxi: "Go ahead, your boss, Mr. Shang, will reimburse you."
Assistant Wu chuckled and quickly left.
Wen Xi quickly composed herself and glanced at Shang Chen, "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Yan Zhao?"
Shang Chen: "Mm."
Shang Chen was thinking about the way Wen Xi's eyes reddened.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable.
It wasn't out of jealousy; I just didn't like seeing Wenxi looking upset.
Wenxi: "But the way Yan Zhao barged in, it looked like he was going to catch them in the act?"
Shang Chen: "...She did bring me here to catch her cheating."
Wenxi: "Do you know any friends who live in mental hospitals?"
Shang Chen glanced at Wen Xi before saying, "No. What do you want to do?"
"Find an opportunity to send her to live there. If she has a mental illness, she should be treated. Delaying treatment will have serious consequences."
Shang Chen suddenly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
The serious atmosphere was instantly broken by Wenxi's words.
Wenxi: "Aren't you going to tell me what happened?"
"She said that Song Hezhou and you were childhood sweethearts, that he had liked you for many years, and that he had been sending you meals for a year."
Shang paused for a moment, then added casually, "Made by hand."
"Yan Zhao also said that Song Hezhou got into a fight with Lu Jinghuai as soon as he returned to China, and it was because of you."
Wenxi listened and remained silent for a long time.
Shang Chen was initially calm, but his gaze on Wen Xi grew increasingly intense.
Wenxi: "Yan Zhao hasn't been making stupid mistakes lately, has he started spreading rumors?"
"Brother Song likes me? How come I didn't know?"
Shang Chen said rationally and calmly, "Whether it's true or not, the fact that someone likes you means you're outstanding."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Wen Xi calmly accepted Shang Chen's praise.
“Brother Song did indeed bring me meals for a year, but that was because I had a severe stomach problem during my freshman year of college and couldn’t eat anything from school or outside. My brother asked him to bring me meals.”
"If delivering meals means you like someone, then the aunt downstairs probably has a crush on our director."
A hint of doubt surfaced in Shang Chen's calm eyes.
Wenxi: "Our director liked Auntie's stir-fried squid with garlic sprouts for a while. He ate it for three months in a row. After that, Auntie didn't need to call anymore. She would just deliver it upstairs on time."
Shang Chen felt that Wen Xi was a bit mischievous.
A smile crept into his eyes: "Does your teacher know you're joking about him like this?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Knowing won't make me angry for long, it's no big deal."
"Speaking of which, I didn't even know Brother Song could cook. Yan Zhao saw him cook for me for a whole year?"
Wenxi felt the conversation was getting increasingly absurd and asked back, "You won't believe me anymore?"
Shang Chen looked at her with his dark, inky eyes.
Men understand men best.
Shang Chen could tell that Song Hezhou liked Wen Xi; he couldn't hide the emotion in his eyes.
